After a night of Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations, another peaceful day arrives.
Today's morning in Jizhou Prefecture seems to have a slight smell of smoke and dust, and there is also a thin mist rising.
Fortunately, the sun shone into the city early, and then quickly eliminated the hazy fog. The scene in Jizhou Fucheng had changed in an instant.
The city is slowly waking up, and the busy day inside and outside the city has begun.
In a small courtyard in Jizhou Prefecture, Song Liangda was already ready to go, putting some breakfast food cooked at home on a wooden cart and walking out of the alley.
This is the business that Song Liangda and his family started again after coming to Fucheng.
The family opened a stew shop near the city gate, but Song Liangda also set out early on weekdays to sell on the pier. This early morning mouthful of hot soup and steamed buns really satisfied the appetites of many people.
You can also earn a few more copper coins at the same time.
"Master, come back early after selling out today. There are people from the fleet eating in the shop these two days, and I can't take care of them for a while."
Before he could get far out of the house, Mr. Zhu had already chased him out. After explaining to Song Liangda, he put a cage wrapped in tattered cotton cloth in the wooden cart.
"These steamed meat buns are for you. Remember to eat them yourself and don't share them with others."
Mrs. Zhu gave instructions, and Song Liangda nodded and went out. He was very satisfied with his current life.
Earning money with one's own physical strength makes people feel at ease and gives them a sense of accomplishment.
Along the way, Song Liangda also yelled hard. Although his body is still a little bloated now, he feels a lot stronger after working hard. People say that you stand upright when you are thirty. He is almost 40 years old, so he can be considered standing upright.
Song Liangda walked quickly to the dock outside the city. There were many sales along the way. Knowing that Song Liangda's food was clean and the price was fair, he came to take care of the business when he saw it.
After a while, a lot of people gathered around Song Liangda's stall on the dock. At this moment, these men in short clothes were slurping the hot porridge in the bowl and taking a bite of the steamed buns with ginger, garlic and dogwood foam.
, he suddenly started sweating profusely, dispelling the chill of the early morning.
"Second brother Song, you must be a strong eater. If you don't take a bite every day, you will feel that you have no energy to work."
"Hey, if you think it tastes good, come on, Brother Huang, I'll give you another spoonful of hot porridge!"
Song Liangda greeted everyone, and at this moment he broke the meat bun he was eating into several pieces and handed it to others, with a smile on his face. The people next to him also took this time to talk about what they saw and heard yesterday.
"Well yesterday, I thought there must have been a great scholar who wrote a good poem. With such a big moon, it was the first time I saw a figure on it."
"Yeah, it's bluffing, but it's also a good thing. At least we are the great literati of the Wen Dynasty. In this world, we ordinary people can't do much. It's these literati who are at the forefront."
A man with a strange accent said this, and the people next to him nodded. This man came from Guangdong, and now he is also making a living on the dock.
After all, there are demons and demons in this world, and ordinary people also suffer many disasters. The literati of the Wen Dynasty became the place to rely on.
"But come to think of it, my boy said that the provincial examination is over now, and our great literary dynasty will need a large number of more candidates!"
When one person said this, the thoughts of others were immediately brought back, and they seemed to be very interested in this topic at the moment.
However, after a while, they shifted the topic to their children. Suddenly they thought of Song Liangda and asked with a smile.
"Brother Song, I heard you say that your nephew is a student in Jizhou Prefecture School, right? I heard that he became the head of the case last year?"
The people nearby who didn't know about this matter quickly looked over at this moment, with somewhat strange expressions on their faces.
Song Liangda nodded proudly and said.
"Yes, my nephew studied hard to achieve this fame."
Everyone was deeply concerned, but someone who was familiar with Song Liangda said again.
"If I remember correctly, he seems to have taken the provincial examination this year, right?"
"Hey, that's awesome. Maybe Brother Song will have a candidate in his family."
The people next to him nodded repeatedly and gathered around to ask questions. Song Liangda did not expect that everyone was so enthusiastic. He also smiled and shook his head, but the smile on his face could not be concealed.
The man next to him from Guangdong Province spoke at this time.
"Second Brother Song's nephew will definitely win. I think when he was in our Guangdong Province, he wrote three chrysanthemum poems. That was a way to defeat the demonic sect on his own."
The man said in a serious tone at this moment. The people nearby liked to hear such strange things, and they all listened attentively at this moment.
After all, everyone turned around and complimented Song Liangda a few times.
Suddenly, two official servants rushed towards the city gate. When someone saw that they were heading straight for Song Liangda's stall, their expressions immediately changed.
"No, these troublemakers are coming again. Brother Song, leave quickly."
As he said this, seven or eight men licked the bottom of the bowl, helped Song Liangda pack his things, or pay the bills, and then urged Song Liangda to leave quickly.
Song Liangda was also quick with his hands and feet, without any sense of stupidity before. He immediately pulled up the wooden cart and started walking away, with the few men also vaguely helping to block it.
The two officials ran forward. When they saw someone blocking them and Song Liangda running away, they looked a little impatient, but they immediately held up their hands and shouted loudly.
"Second Master Song, please don't leave. Master Tixue is looking for you today, and Master Magistrate is also looking for you!!"
Having said that, the two officials were still in a hurry. At this moment, they broke through the obstruction of the men, and it took a lot of effort before they finally caught up with Song Liangda.
The three of them were sweating profusely, but the two officials raised their hands towards Song Liangda and gasped.
"Second Master Song, this is a good thing. Please release this thing quickly and come with me into the city."
Saying this, the two of them saw that Song Liangda was still a little hesitant. At this moment, they simply stretched out their hands to hold Song Liangda to the left and right, and hurriedly went to the city.
Several men at the dock not far away saw Song Liangda being held up by officials, and thought something had happened, so they also shouted and came up.
"My lord, what are you doing?"
When the two officials saw the slightly flustered people in front of them, they quickly handed over their hands and asked excitedly.
"Heroes, don't block the way. It's the Second Master Song who is planning a happy event. We are in a hurry to take him back to celebrate the occasion!"
"Happiness? What kind of happiness can I have?"
Song Liangda was also sweating profusely and asked at this moment, but the two official servants said quickly.
"News has come from the provincial capital. Second Master Song, your nephew, Mr. Song Mu Song, has won the imperial examination!"
"What, you won the exam?!"
Several people nearby exclaimed when they heard this, but then they heard the leading official say again.
"That's right, and this time Jieyuan is also in our house. The good news just arrived this morning. We also received the order and came to look for him in a hurry."
The two officials said this, and several people nodded repeatedly. Song Liangda was already in a trance, but the man from Guangdong said quickly.
"Hurry up, I'll give you a lift!"
"Second Brother Song, don't worry. I'll take this stall back to the store for you. Go back quickly! Today is a great thing!"
Several people were talking one after another, and Song Liangda suddenly nodded, held his hands in his hands, and now walked quickly towards the city.
