Wang Pang and Wang Yansou were drinking tea and chatting happily on the verandah of Yunxuan. The lamp was already being held on the verandah and neither of them noticed. Cai Jing had already turned back to Yunxuan and saw that the young master and the scholar were still talking loudly.

Cai Jing is a crazy person. He has been obsessed with calligraphy and painting since he was young. The scenery in front of him is very interesting. On one side are pedestrians walking away, on the other side is the Yunxuan Ya Pavilion. There is a bright moon in the distance, a few red lanterns on the corridor, two

The young men in white, deaf to the noise on the street, were sitting under the porch drinking. Cai Jing's hands were itchy again, so he hurriedly went to Yunxuan to get pen and ink, and painted this scene.

After finishing the painting, Cai Jing remembered what the young master had told him, so he took the painting and asked the young master to take a look at it and said, "I have been notified by the government." When Wang Bian took a look at the painting, he found that this light and dark scene was so peaceful and quiet in the midst of the turmoil.

He naturally liked the artistic conception of Cai Jing's painting. He showed the painting to Wang Yansou.

Wang Yansou looked at Cai Jing's words and couldn't help but admired: "If even a scholar beside me has such attainments, you still think that I can win. There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this capital. It's not easy to come out on top. But I do want to try."

"Try your own weight"

Wang Pang saw that although he said this, there was no lack of confidence in his tone, and he was even more sure of his judgment: "Yanlin has such great ambitions, why not write a poem here? If I am in high school, I will post this painting to everyone, if not

I also treat it as a collection of Yanlin’s calligraphy treasures”[

When Wang Yansou heard what Wang Pang said, he was a little unconvinced: "I'll make a contribution when you come." After that, he took the pen and ink handed over by Cai Jing and said with a big stroke: "Sit down on the corridor of Yunxuan and win three yuan in a row this autumn."

"Wang Yansou looked at him and saw that this Wang Yansou was really loud. But he dared to write like this, so he must be confident. What's more, this Wang Yansou is young, and he has the momentum of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers and wants to win the first prize.

.

Wang Pang ordered Cai Jing to put away the painting, and said with a smile: "After drinking my champion tea, Yanlin won three yuan in a row. It is not a dream." The two laughed. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Wang Pang invited Wang Yansou to come over and have a drink.

They sat on the porch for a long time and talked so happily. They must have been curious about Wang Pang's influence on the street. As soon as Wang Pang and Wang Yansou left, someone pulled them back and followed them back home.

Cai Jing asked: "Cai Lang, who was having tea with your young master just now?"

The city of Bianjing knew that the person who could sit there with the prince and invite him to drink tea was probably not an ordinary person. Cai Jing did not recognize Wang Yansou, he only knew his name and that he was in Beijing to take the exam, so he answered blankly

: "He is a scholar who came to Beijing to take the exam. I don't know why the young master treats me so favorably."

After hearing what Cai Jing said, someone asked about the name of this young man. How smart Cai Jing was. He just understood that this prince wanted to make Yunxuan famous if Wang Yansou passed the exam, not to mention that he often came to see him now.

Looking at this Yunxuan, Cai Jing was also happy that Yunxuan became famous. So he said: "This man's name is Wang Yansou. Listen to what the young master said, this man can win three yuan in a row. The man just mentioned it, sitting in the corridor of Yunxuan, he will win three yuan in a row this autumn."

He said this on his own initiative. Wang Pang turned around and glared at him. Cai Jing hurriedly kept silent. Wang Pang shouted at him, not wanting him to talk nonsense. There are also rules in the house. Business dealings in the house are not allowed to be discussed with outsiders, even Cui Fu.

The shopkeepers all knew to abide by the business secrets set by the young master. He also wondered in his mind, should the young master wait until the announcement of the announcement?

Wang Yansou didn't notice this. He was still immersed in the joy of winning a silver medal from Yunxuan. There were literati in Yunxuan every day, and there were three book clubs and painting groups every month. Moreover, although "Yunzhao" was just mentioned

This is the first issue, but it seems to be hard to find. In particular, it contains the remarks of Ouyang Xiu, the last examiner, and Su Shi, the last number one scholar, not to mention all the celebrities from previous high schools.

However, Wang Pang missed one person, and it was not Wang Pang's intention. This person seemed to be unpopular among these young people. It was Wang Yaochen, Mr. Wang. He was the number one scholar back then, and even Han Qi, who was second in the list, was envious.

It's incredible.

Everyone has this. Without Mr. Wang, could it be that Wang Pang still holds grudges over Di Qing's past? This makes the right general Zhao Zongshi and Wang Yaochen himself a little uneasy.

Zhongzhen was interrogated by Mr. Zhao, but Zhongzhen didn't know what his father was concerned about, "Ah, no one invited Mr. Wang, it means he is too popular. As for dad, you are not the number one scholar."

, we young brothers just talk about calligraphy and painting. You can’t even talk to us if you go. Don’t talk about you, Master Bao is also included, isn’t it?"

Zhao Zongshi was very depressed. Master Bao didn't go because Master Bao was sick and it was hot weather. Bao Zheng was resting at home. Not to mention going to Yunxuan, Master Bao even asked for leave when he went to court.

At this moment, Master Wang Yaochen came to see Mr. Zhao, "Master, why don't you take advantage of Mr. Bao's leave to chat with Emperor Renzong?"

Zhao Zongshi became angry when he saw Wang Yaochen's muddy appearance, unable to hold up the wall. He thought to himself, "Why are you nagging Renzong? This nagging must be measured. Do you think these people are forming a clique? That is absolutely impossible. There is Zhong Zhen among them."

Participate, this Zhongzhen is Zhao Zongshi's most beloved son. If he becomes the emperor, the position of prince will belong to Zhongzhen.

Is there a problem with the articles in "Yunzhai"? The imperial court stipulated that each issue of "Yunzhao" should have a sample sent to the Imperial College, and the sample could only be printed after being reviewed. If there was a problem with the content, it would offend the officials of the Imperial College.

Zhao Zongshi chuckled: "Master Wang, what do you want me to say to Emperor Renzong?"

Wang Yaochen had a wry smile on his face: "You said that everyone is a scholar, so why are you xenophobic?"

Zhao Zongshi put down the tea cup in his hand. The method of drinking such fresh tea that Zhong Zhen taught him recently was quite refreshing. Thinking about it, this is also a novelty for this boy Wang Pang. Zhao Zongshi really has some tricks to deal with this boy Wang Pang.

At least that's the case for the time being. He said: "I haven't heard of this Yunxuan silver medal. Isn't it available on the market?"

Wang Yaochen curled his lips and said: "It's worth it but you can't learn anything. Instead of complaining about Yunxuan, I also know that Mr. Zhongzhen also has a share. I'm here to ask you to save your face and let Mr. Zhongzhen help. This is not the case now."

You know what kind of wind is blowing, without this silver medal, it’s like the top pick didn’t win.”

Zhao Zongshi glared: "What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't the number one scholar selected by the imperial court and the emperor's disciple not worth Yunxuan's silver medal? If the emperor knows this, can you afford it?" [

Seeing that Mr. Zhao was angry, Wang Yaochen hurriedly left with a smile on his face, said a few polite words. However, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't hold his breath. He couldn't afford to fall ill, and passed away within a few days.

Zhao Zongshi ignored Wang Yaochen, but he actually had his own ideas. It was the time for Zhong Zhen to make friends. This Yunxuan card was hard to find. If there was someone Zhong Zhen trusted, it would be enough to win over people. He had long been disappointed with Wang Yaochen.

So I had no intention of giving up this face to him.

Despite this, the matter still reached the ears of Emperor Renzong, so Wang Pang was summoned to the palace by Emperor Renzong.

In the Chui Gong Hall, there were three people with bowed heads, Shen Kuo, Zhong Zhen, and Su Shi. When Wang Pang saw this situation, he knew that it was because of Yunxuan's incident.

"Wang Bian, do you still have feelings for Wang Yaochen because of what happened to Master Di?" Renzong waited for Wang Bian to kneel before him and stood up, then asked straight to the point.

"Your Majesty, if everyone in Caomin Yunxuan can make more money, it won't be enough to compensate. Except for a few of us, the other silver medals were sold for maintenance. I don't know that Mr. Wang didn't buy a membership.

Pai'er, you are so grand." Wang Pang explained with an innocent look on his face.

"Strong words. It's clear that he doesn't want others to come in." Renzong said with a calm expression.

"This... you tell me what to do. I listen to you, old man, but if I lose everything, I won't have the money to pay so much tax." Wang Pannai said.

Those three people just listened to such a reprimand. Most of them were criticized by Renzong for being too self-reliant on their talents and learning, being arrogant and intolerant of others. However, the three of them only had shares, and the organizer was Wang Pang, so Renzong didn't say anything.

They were too heavy, and now the three of them were worried about Wang Pang.

Renzong was very fond of Wang Pang now, and every beautiful thing made him feel encouraged. Moreover, this Yunxuan was indeed very creative, but he was afraid that he would be dissatisfied and would be separated from the masses in the future, which would be troublesome.

Renzong sighed: "Your Yunxuan must be open to the public at least three days every month."

"Well... Your Majesty, I don't have enough for the buffet and tea." Wang Pang wasn't joking. Considering Yunxuan's current reputation, if he said it was open to anyone, he would probably step on the floor. Besides,

Now all the officials in the country are in the capital.

"Okay, I order you to open to the public on the 9th, 19th, and 29th of every month. You can sit and collect tea money. Only the first 100 people can enter. As for your self-service, I will just subsidize it for you.

." Renzong said naively.

When Wang Pang heard about the subsidy, he felt happy. Renzong's subsidy must be indispensable. The subsidy for three days at most can cover the cost of a month's buffet.

After thanking Renzong, Wang Pang said: "Since the emperor takes care of the common people in this way, then the common people should also help the emperor."

Renzong glanced at him sideways with half-closed eyes and said in his heart: You kid, you can't let me go to you in vain.

Of course Wang Pang understood Renzong's intentions. After he had done what he had done, could the emperor still take advantage of him? So he said: "The autumn imperial examination is not far away. This year's imperial examination, candidates entered the examination room, and there were thousands of candidates in the examination room.

I will bear all the tea for free."

The first article of the examination room system in the Song Dynasty is to lock the courtyard to prevent requests for entrustment. Starting from the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, the locking courtyard system was established, which stipulates that examiners will be locked in Gongyuan from the day they are appointed to the day when the results are released. In this way,

This isolates the examiner from other officials, making it difficult to succeed.

Candidates will be locked in the courtyard, and they will bring their own dry food and drinking water. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will be responsible for it. Renzong ordered Wang Pian to send the tea to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for review and evaluation, and confirmed that there is no problem. Candidates in the Golden Autumn Science Examination have summer tea. This matter reflects Renzong's care for the candidates.
