Chapter 256: Go to the ancestral hall and pay homage!
Countless eyes came to watch, and then bursts of cheers filled the ears.
Song Mu and the others were standing with excited expressions on their faces. They even trembled unconsciously and said a few words excitedly to the people next to them.
The soldiers and officials who opened the door had already stepped aside. At this moment, Song Mu also shook off his sleeves and walked outside.
In front of the exam hall, there were already two men who looked quite majestic, holding scrolls and starting to read loudly.
"In the 28th year of Chongwen's reign, Jiashenke liberated the Yuan Dynasty and Song Mu came to Shiyang County, Jizhou Prefecture!"
"Jia Shen Ke Ya Yuan..."
The voices of the two men were heard in all directions, and Song Mu was already walking out from the doorway.
When the morning sun shone directly on Song Mu's face, Song Mu, who was wearing a cyan robe, looked heroic at the moment, attracting countless people to secretly praise him for being a good boy.
At this moment, there were more literati and talented people around who were making noises, but Song Mu realized that they were shouting something different.
"To advance morally and cultivate your profession, you must do so in a timely manner!"
"When young people are strong, the country is strong! How strong is my young man, Dawen!"
A student shouted loudly, and the next moment countless people started to drink. Their voices gathered in an instant, causing everyone to change their expressions.
"What does it mean?"
"I don't know, is it some kind of golden sentence?"
"It's a good saying that it's time to improve one's moral character and cultivate one's career. If I could have thought of this kind of problem solving during the provincial examination, I would definitely have done a better job!"
"Then if a young man is strong, the country will be strong as well. Could it be the solution to the strategic problem? Hiss, this angle is tricky! Exquisite!"
Among Juzi's team, someone was speaking at this moment, but everyone was looking around. At this moment, the wall outside the north gate of the examination hall was covered with transcripts of Juzi's articles.
Under one of the papers, there was a crowd of people at the moment. Many soldiers were pushing away the people who were rushing up. The next moment, more people rushed forward.
When the next Qingpi ran out of it in a panic, he was holding something in his arms.
Two officers with short sticks immediately appeared behind him. They pounced on him, then held him down and started beating him.
"It is strictly forbidden to cheat during the public notice period! You naughty bitch!"
The green-skinned man was in pain at the moment and kept holding his head and begging for mercy. However, the two officials were not polite. They had already called for people, and two officials with long sticks came over. They immediately took off his pants and beat him.
Qingpi screamed loudly and begged for mercy, but the thing in his hand had already rolled out, and now he rolled into the group of Juzi.
It turned out to be a paper ball, presumably an article posted on the wall of the examination hall.
The paper ball rolled to someone's feet, and the other person reached out to pick it up. It was Yi Xuesheng who was slowly unfolding the paper ball and scanning the article on the paper ball.
The words "Advancing Morality and Cultivating Career" at the beginning appeared on the paper. Yi Xuesheng was stunned for a moment, but when he looked at the signature on it, it turned out to be Song Mu, and he was even more stunned.
But before he could utter an exclamation, there was another exclamation from behind.
Yi Xuesheng looked over and saw a few officials holding a similarly wrinkled scroll of paper in their hands and looking at it. He exclaimed again and again.
There was also a curious person beside him, and he asked loudly at this moment.
"Brother, whose article is that?"
"It's a policy essay written by Song Jieyuan. The young man at the end said it was really well written!"
The man held up the article in his hand and spoke loudly, with a hint of admiration on his face, and the article was passed to the front.
Yi Xuesheng also made two wrong steps, and finally saw the above article, and his expression suddenly froze after a moment.
It turned out to be Song Mu again.
This article is indeed of great literary talent and full of talent.
Just as Yi Xuesheng was thinking this, someone shouted again from behind. After a moment, Yi Xuesheng realized that it was Song Mu's poem.
Two poems, "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" and "Inscription on the Xiaosi Wall of Qingni City", also ranked first in the provincial examination.
When everyone knew about this, they were in an uproar, and the expressions on their faces were full of frustration.
This Song Mu actually ranks first in all three articles and poems?!
Ranked first in all three subjects!
No wonder it’s Jieyuan!
At that moment, Yi Xuesheng only felt a little dazed in his eyes. He looked in front of him, looking at Song Mu who was strutting in front of him, arrogantly throwing his hands around.
It turns out that this is the proud man of heaven, it turns out that this is the heaven that exists outside the world, and there are people outside the world...
Many candidates were shocked by Song Mu's astonishing achievement of ranking first in the three subjects, but the official who posted the papers was miserable.
They had reposted Song Mu's articles and poems no less than ten times. Each piece could not stay on the wall for more than a quarter of an hour before it was suddenly pulled away by someone who was interested. The pulling technique was clean and neat.
Even though there are already more than a dozen people under the wall leaning against the board, or holding their buttocks and whining softly, they still can't stop the momentum.
"Old Cui, it's no use. If you keep talking like this, we'll run out of papers! How about we post them higher?"
"If you don't have any papers, you still have to post them. Let the people in the examination hall quickly copy out some more papers on Jieyuan. If the papers are high, no one will be able to see them. Besides, didn't you see that the scholar also took action?"
The two clerks who were posting papers were sighing and talking, but their eyes couldn't help but look at the two scholars next to them who were being controlled.
Although they were not beaten, they were all squatting under the guard of the soldiers. At this moment, they were looking at the papers in their hands that were almost crumpled into waste paper as if they were hungry and thirsty, looking at the contents on it, and cheering loudly from time to time.
Who would have imagined that on this day, the whole city was going crazy for a paper.
And the instigator of all this, Song Mu of the Xie Yuan Dynasty, was striding on the road at this moment. Soldiers were opening the way, gongs were ringing, and the names of the deceased were transmitted over and over again, attracting the attention of countless people.
Song Mu, who was already very handsome, attracted the most attention among them. For a while, countless beautiful ladies were dizzy and screamed.
But at this moment, there was a lot of confusion among the entire team.
Although there were soldiers to clear the way, and most of the people gave way consciously, there was another situation that made people laugh and cry.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Several servants who squeezed through the crowd escorted an old man to the front of the team. The old man immediately stretched out his finger, and then those under him with red clothes tied around their waists
The servant with the belt rushed forward.
At that moment, the servants were busy raising a broad-faced man, and he was talking to the surroundings with a happy face.
"Our Mr. Kuang Xiongcai of Yuzhang Mansion has fallen in love with Mr. Zhao Jianbai, and today he has given us a special marriage! Please give me your best wishes for your marriage to my daughter!"
As he said that, a red sedan appeared at the intersection, and several people carried the man over, causing the people around him to laugh.
Those who recognized Mr. Kuang immediately came forward to congratulate him. The old man stroked his beard and nodded to reward him with silver.
Throwing a lot of money away made the scene even more explosive at this moment.
All this was quite lively, but the person who was carried away only struggled symbolically for a moment, and then was hung with a big red flower. At this moment, he was somewhat embarrassed and handed over to everyone.
He has the ability to raise people, so if he had the intention to refuse, he would naturally break away immediately. From this point of view, he was willing to do so.
People around him sent blessings one after another, and officials were following the sedan, beating gongs and drums all the way to deliver the person to his door.
This is another beautiful story in the provincial examination: catching a son-in-law at the end of the exam, today he is a successful candidate, and he will pass the exam on a good night.
These scenes were staged one after another, and the streets of Yuzhang City were bustling with excitement, and everything was peaceful and peaceful, which made people sigh with admiration.
There was also a wealthy family who set their sights on Song Mu, who was at the front of the team, but after thinking for a moment, he shook his head helplessly, and finally settled for the next best thing. The five leaders followed him through the streets for only two quarters of an hour, and in the end, only Song Mu was left.
At this moment, the team was still moving forward, but after traveling around for a while, they mostly headed towards the surrounding areas.
The official came forward at this moment and asked Song Mu about his plan.
"Sir Jie Yuan, this parade is almost over. Do you think you should go back to the guild hall or somewhere else?"
The man asked Song Mu very respectfully. Song Mu immediately stopped and looked around. When he saw Tao Fengming and others following him, he let out a deep breath and said slowly.
"I am a descendant of the Song family. I should go to the ancestral hall to pay my respects."
