Song Mu quickly forgot about the collection of poems. After all, Song Mu still understood how much he weighed, especially at this moment.
The first thing I have to do is to obtain the honors and regain the glory of the Song family earlier in the future.
Moreover, I only have a dozen or so poems, and compared with the hundreds of poems by many famous writers, each one is outstanding. If I did it now, it would feel a bit like trying to gain fame.
If you really want to do it, you should wait until you have more good poems than you can count with both hands before making any plans.
In the next few days, Song Mu could only send his servants to visit a few houses where he had posted the message. He tried his best to refuse the invitation. When he couldn't refuse, he went to visit them and then returned as soon as possible.
Study in the guild hall.
In a few days, many students from Jizhou Prefecture have arrived at the Jizhou Guild Hall. Now the exam atmosphere in this provincial capital is even stronger.
On this day, Song Mu was studying, when there was a noise downstairs, and then he heard a familiar shout.
"Junior Brother Song, we are here!"
When Song Mu heard this voice, his expression was slightly raised, and he walked out of the room with a smile, and the two people were already walking upstairs.
"Senior Brother Fu, Senior Brother Ge!"
Song Mu looked at Fu Zefeng and Ge Long who were walking towards him with smiles, and also showed a smile at this moment.
The three of them handed over their hands one after another. Seeing that the two of them were tired from work, Song Mu quickly invited them to the room to drink tea.
"We set off by boat, which was a bit risky, but we arrived quickly and we shouldn't have missed anything."
Fu Zefeng took a sip of tea and said to Song Mu with some emotion. At the same time, he also looked at Song Mu and asked.
"Junior Brother Song, when did you arrive?"
Song Mu responded quickly, and then explained in detail how he came to this provincial capital. After hearing this, the other party's face also showed a bit of surprise.
"I didn't expect that Junior Brother Song would have such an adventure after graduating from the government school. It was not easy to trek here, but it's okay. Now that we are all here, we can concentrate on preparing for the next exam."
Song Mu also nodded, and at this time Ge Long asked Song Mu.
"Song Mu, how are you preparing now?"
"It just depends on how hard you work, and you will see the result after you go to the examination room."
The few of them chatted for a while and then went back to the room to rest. They all agreed to visit the academic master in the afternoon. Song Mu also nodded quickly.
…
In the afternoon, Song Mu and others got dressed neatly, then lined up under the guidance of the instructor and headed out the door.
This time Master Tixue could not come, and the one who led the team was the instructor Xiao Li. Song Mu also knew that the other party was Xiao Xiong's father. Although he was a Jinshi, he was also very powerful.
Xiao Li immediately organized everyone, and the students from all over Jizhou Prefecture who had arrived at the guild hall also joined one after another, and Song Mu met Senior Brother Sun among them.
Song Mu stepped forward to say hello, but he didn't know the other party had arrived until he knew it, so he still relied on the Fu Xue group.
As several people said this, they also lined up and walked out of the hall.
There were a lot of students taking the exam in Jizhou Prefecture this year, more than a hundred in total, so the team was walking on the street, and everyone was wearing student uniforms, which really attracted the attention of many people.
Song Mu was also walking among these people, but he breathed a sigh of relief at the moment. Those students usually gathered around him, but now when he was walking among these people, he felt a little more relaxed.
The team was slowly passing through the streets at this moment. The huge team even attracted officials to escort them, and they received a lot of looks and exclamations along the way.
In this world where literati are respected, the status of literati is too high. Such scenes made Song Mu and his party feel quite proud, and even straightened their backs involuntarily.
Not long after, everyone arrived in front of the academic master's residence. They lined up one after another. Xiao Li stepped forward and handed over the post, and the old housekeeper from before opened the door.
The boy led everyone inside. When Song Mu passed by the old housekeeper, he saw the other person's eyes looking at him a few times.
Speaking of which, even though I submitted the post at the beginning, nothing happened, but my actions that day must have made the other party remember me.
However, Song Mu walked in very smoothly this time.
Coming here reminded Song Mu of the previous visit to Fan Tixue in Fucheng. However, Fan Tixue's house was obviously not as good as Master Xuezheng's house. There was a wide place behind the screen wall.
Everyone was standing there, and they saw a person coming out of the main room. He had a broad face, gray hair, and a gray beard. He was wearing a wide purple robe. He looked like a fairy and was quite old. He was at this moment.
Fu Xu looked at everyone.
"Xiao Li, a tutor from Jizhou Prefecture, brought one hundred and thirty-one students from Jizhou Prefecture to take the provincial examination. He came here specifically to pay a visit to the academic administrator. I wish the literary education a prosperous and everlasting future."
Xiao Li immediately led everyone to salute, and now everyone also shouted.
"Greetings to the Master of Academic Affairs, I wish the literary education a prosperous and everlasting life."
He Shilin, who was wearing regular clothes, looked at the crowd and nodded happily. He chatted with Xiao Li in front of him for a few words. Xiao Li looked very familiar with him. While the two were talking, they also looked around at the scene.
's students.
Among them, the one that Xiao Li valued the most was a man in his thirties. After several inquiries, Song Mu found out that the man was actually the person responsible for the case in the 21st year of Chongwen. His name was Bai Zhifan. He was also a figure who had been published in Tianwen Magazine.
.
In addition, Ge Long and several other older scholars also introduced him, and in the end they just mentioned Song Mu in passing.
It is true that Song Mu is too conspicuous in this team. He is already tall, but he is also the youngest, a full five years younger than the second youngest scholar. When Xiao Li and He Shilin introduced him, He Shilin was still picky.
He raised his eyebrows.
However, Song Mu was not treated specially this time. After all, the other party was an academic and political student in a province. Countless geniuses had seen it before his eyes, but Song Mu could not quite attract his attention.
He Shilin encouraged everyone and then invited everyone present to take a sip of tea. Then everyone left one by one.
All this ended so quickly, and it was just a formality. There were countless prefectures in Jiangnan West Road. If He Shilin was really asked to give a speech and encourage him, he wouldn't know how much tea would be consumed.
Song Mu was coming out with Ge Long and others when a voice came from beside him and stopped Song Mu immediately.
"Song, please stay."
Song Mu stopped and turned around. He was a little surprised when he saw it was the old housekeeper, but he immediately smiled and held his hand.
"Old housekeeper, what's the point of doing this?"
Song Mu asked, but the other party didn't say anything. He just looked around Song Mu carefully before speaking slowly.
"Stay here and have a sip of tea."
Song Mu was dumbfounded, looking at the other person in confusion, and then at the senior brother next to him, but at this moment he could only smile and nod, and then sat down next to him.
After all the students in Jizhou Mansion had left, the old housekeeper waved to Song Mu who was sitting in the concierge, got up and walked into the mansion.
"Captain Song has some personality. You really made me remember you."
While walking, the old housekeeper said something to Song Mu. Song Mu knew that what he was talking about was about delivering the post that day, and he could only show a silent smile at this moment.
Soon Song Mu came to a side courtyard, where a servant was serving tea. The old housekeeper led Song Mu to sit down, and then left with the servant.
This made Song Mu even more surprised, but at this moment, footsteps could be heard outside.
"Unexpectedly, Lan Xian thought about it and now he has accepted a disciple!"
Song Mu stood up and looked in the direction of the sound. He quickly stood up and bowed to salute.
