News of Song Mu's arrival in Chang'an spread like wildfire.
Song Mu also didn't expect that after just one night, the scene in the entire Jiangnan West Road Guild Hall would have changed.
The hall that was relatively empty the day before was now filled with students wearing robes and buns.
They were all sitting in front of the hall drinking hot tea, but their eyes kept looking upstairs.
When they saw Song Mu coming out to have breakfast, people suddenly rushed up, scaring Song Mu so much that he quickly hid away, but it was the shiny shopkeeper Zhu who came out to save the siege.
Although Song Mu has disappeared for a whole year, and even various bizarre rumors have appeared during this period, this does not affect Song Mu's status in the hearts of many students.
Especially after what Song Mu did in Jiangnan East Road, among the many young students, they admired Song Mu even more, and various stories about Song Mu were told casually.
The students gathered in the guild hall include both local students from Chang'an and those who came from various study tours. Many of them are even students waiting to take the exam.
What they have been looking forward to is that Song Mu can come to participate in this examination, and they have even been staying here for quite some time.
Now that they know that Song Mu is in the guild hall, some of them want to make friends, some want to ask what Song Mu has experienced this year, and some want Song Mu to discuss the way of learning with everyone just like he did in Jinling.
Song Mu just went out and greeted everyone, then he apologized and hid in the house.
It's not that Song Mu is showing off his arrogance, it's just that he will try it soon. Song Mu really doesn't want to agree to anything. Moreover, the master still needs more care, and he is really unable to do his job well.
Fortunately, these students were still very restrained. When they saw Song Mu show his face, they said hello and then stopped making any movement. They still refrained from coming forward and knocking on the door.
Just the posts in front of the door were full in an instant.
"This student from Chang'an is also quite eager."
Song Mu was sitting in the room, recalling the situation just now. He shook his head helplessly and sighed. Tao Fengming was sitting by the window on one side of the room, holding a stove and drinking hot tea.
said.
"These students regard you as a role model, so naturally you act like this. But if you talk to them a few times before the exam, a lot of them will disperse."
Song Mu nodded when he heard the words, and at this moment he was planning in his mind what he should do in the future to alleviate the situation.
In the afternoon, a cry of surprise suddenly came from outside Song Mu's door, and a somewhat familiar voice came.
"Brother Song, have you really arrived in Chang'an?"
Song Mu was a little puzzled when he heard the voice just now, but then he raised his eyebrows with a look of surprise.
Song Mu immediately got up and went to open the door. After opening the door, he saw standing at the door was Xu Yuncai, the young master of Yingxuefang whom he had met in Yuzhang City.
Meeting friends in a foreign country is naturally a bit more cordial.
"Brother Yuncai, long time no see."
At this moment, Xu Yuncai was standing outside the door of Song Mu's room, wearing a pure white robe. His whole person looked more serious and mature, and he had changed a lot from before.
Xu Yuncai smiled, cupped his hands towards Song Mu, and said with a smile.
"I haven't seen you for more than a year, Brother Song. You are still so approachable."
Song Mu smiled and asked Xu Yuncai to go in. Xu Yuncai saw Xu Yuncai with an old face among them. He was stunned for a moment. Song Mu smiled and explained, and the other party also suddenly understood.
"Speaking of it, this is my first time meeting you sir. I didn't expect that there would be such a thing."
Song Mu poured tea for Xu Yuncai, and Xu Yuncai joked with a smile.
"Brother Song, there is a huge crowd of talented people in the guild hall. It took me a lot of effort to squeeze in."
Song Mu grinned and said a little helplessly at this moment.
"Song also didn't expect that he would encounter such a situation when he arrived in Chang'an."
Xu Yuncai waved his hand, took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice.
"This is Brother Song who is too modest. I think that Brother Song made a splash in the provincial examination and his reputation has already spread all over the world. After I arrived in Chang'an from Yuzhang, I saw countless students flocking to your poems and articles."
"In those days, as long as your poems were published in Tianwen Magazine, a whole city would be interested in buying them."
"In the Tianwen Magazine at the beginning of last year, your "Sapphire Case" and "Winter Theory" were very popular!"
Saying this, Xu Yuncai even expressed emotion.
"Even in our Taixue, there are often senior brothers who comment on your articles and poems and argue with red faces. Of course, there are mixed opinions."
When Song Mu heard this, he was also surprised. Xu Yuncai looked at Song Mu and said with some fun.
"Brother Song, you may not know what title you have among the students in Chang'an now, right?"
"Song Shaosheng."
"It is said that the influence of your poetry is comparable to that of a semi-saint. It is the new name given to you by those meddling students."
"But speaking of it, Song Jieyuan's name is more smooth."
Song Mu looked calm and drank tea together.
"I don't care about these things, but Brother Xu is here today, and I just want to ask Brother Xu about the things in Chang'an."
"Brother Song, just ask, I will tell you everything I know."
Song Mu immediately turned to look at Tao Fengming next to him, and then asked Xu Yuncai.
"Brother Xu, I wonder if there are any famous doctors in the city now. I would like to send you a message to visit. Can you successfully get summoned?"
When Song Mu said this, Tao Fengming looked over, and Xu Yuncai glanced at the two of them. He was suddenly stunned, but he was also thinking slightly at the moment.
"Physician Ma from the Imperial Hospital is old now, but he is still in the city. He has been an imperial physician all his life, maybe..."
"It's useless. They can only cure human diseases, and there is nothing I can do about them."
Tao Fengming immediately interrupted the conversation between the two of them. Song Mu was also stunned when he heard this, looking a little anxious.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, Tao Fengming closed his eyes and shook his head, and Song Mu sighed helplessly.
Immediately, Song Mu changed the topic and asked.
"Then I don't know what the situation will be like this time. I see that there is no news in Tianwen Magazine yet?"
Hearing what Song Mu said, Xu Yuncai immediately grinned, shook his head and said.
"I don't even know about this. In fact, it's not just that. No one I know knows about it."
"It seems because this year marks the 30th anniversary of Chongwen, His Majesty's 30th year on the throne, and it is also the Queen Mother's 100th birthday."
Xu Yuncai said in a deep voice, and then whispered to Song Mu in a low voice.
"I just accidentally heard the teacher say that Your Majesty wants to have great success and good luck this year, and this exam will be a good start at the beginning of the year, so Nagongyuan hasn't made up its mind yet."
Song Mu nodded seriously after hearing this.
This year is indeed a bit special. It seems that the questions in the general examination are a little different.
Seeing that Song Mu could not get any information about the examination, Song Mu then turned to ask about the customs and customs in Chang'an City, as well as some official matters.
Xu Yuncai had quite a lot of experience with this matter, and he emphasized it this time.
While they were just chatting, the other party changed the topic to a strange place, which made Song Mu a little surprised, and then interrupted Xu Yuncai's words.
"Brother Xu, I have something to ask for."
Song Mu suddenly said this, and Xu Yuncai also paused suddenly. He looked at Song Mu, and Song Mu pointed his finger, and a thick stack of paper appeared on the table.
Xu Yuncai was also shocked by Song Mu's miraculous method, but he immediately heard Song Mu explain.
"These are some of my insights from traveling abroad for more than a year. I have written them into some short stories, but I don't know if they can be published as a book?"
"Story? Book of the People's Republic of China?"
Xu Yuncai was stunned when he heard this, but the next moment his face showed a look of great joy. At this moment, he stood up and carefully picked up the scroll on the table and read it carefully.
The story on this stack of paper is naturally an article that Song Mu had decided to write before. Every word in it tells the extraordinary life of an ordinary person.
Among them are scholars, fishermen, hunters, farmers, blacksmiths, and many ordinary people like you in this world.
There are sad stories, strange stories, and stories that make people regretful or even enlightening.
During this period, there were all kinds of fame and wealth, poverty and wealth, as well as all kinds of suffering in the world, which can be regarded as a bright spot.
Song Mu also kept writing, and finally wrote nearly forty stories.
When Xu Yuncai read these stories, he was immediately fascinated. After a while, he suddenly slapped his thigh, looked up at Song Mu and said.
"These stories are so wonderful!"
