In the next period of time, Song Mu's main task was to discuss the Chunwei exam with several officials in Gongyuan, and then prepare for Li Dong's Chunwei exam in the East Palace.
Among them, Song Mu never revealed his identity, and the one who was announced now was only the examiner Chang Yidong.
Naturally, the scholars of the Wen Dynasty took notice of this. Countless scholars came to Chang Yidong's door every day to send greetings. Chang Yidong's collection of essays was also sold out in Chang'an.
Such enthusiasm made Song Mu speechless.
However, it had only been a few days, and Song Mu's home was already bustling with people. The reason for this was that students from Jiangnan West Road to Chang'an had already arrived.
After paying homage to Chang Yidong, these people went straight to Song's house.
On this day of rest, Song Mu was at home and saw the scholar in the courtyard.
The person leading the team turned out to be Xiao Li, a tutor from the academy, and this time he was already a tutor at the academy and took a group of disciples to Chang'an to take the exam.
"This time, I have the largest number of disciples in Jiangnan West Road. Master Xuezheng was worried that there might be trouble among them, so he ordered me to come to Chang'an to escort them."
"As soon as we arrive in Chang'an, we will come to visit you non-stop."
Xiao Li was invited by Song Mu to sit down and drink tea. Although Song Mu was now his superior, Song Mu refused to talk about officialdom, so Xiao Li felt quite relaxed.
Song Mu was also looking at the hundreds of people in front of him with a smile. These people filled the courtyard, and they were all standing respectfully. The older ones were pretending to be calm, while the younger ones were
He looked excited and looked up frequently.
"Sir, why don't you introduce it to me?"
Song Mu said with a smile, and Xiao Li stood up and called a few people to come up. They were all young people with good looks and strong strength.
"This is Nie Guang, who was born in Xunyang Prefecture. He is a famous scholar and has written excellent classics and meanings. He is also the youngest Xie Yuan besides you in our Jiangnan West Road for decades."
"This is Zhang Xiangqi, a younger brother of Zhang Yiqi, but the head of the Jizhou Prefecture case, just like you, passed the imperial examination at the age of eighteen!"
Song Mu was shocked when he heard Xiao Li's introduction. He looked at these people carefully and felt quite relieved for a while.
"I didn't expect that Jiangnan West Road would be where we are today. Thousands of people would take the exam in one spring."
Song Mu sighed, Xiao Li also nodded, but one of them looked up at Song Mu and spoke immediately.
"We all rely on the blessing of being the number one scholar!"
Song Mu paused, and many of them looked up and nodded. The person just now raised his hands and continued.
"I am a trustworthy person in Xialian. I live in Yuzhang City. When I was ten years old, my grandfather and I received the blessing of being the number one scholar outside the examination hall. Now my grandfather is in great health, but I am stupid. It took me seventeen years to get into the exam, but I am already the tenth generation.
Great things are difficult for ordinary people to achieve!"
"I went to Chang'an this time just to thank you, Sir!"
As he said this, someone beside him responded, and the honest man was about to kneel down, but suddenly he felt a powerful force lifting up from under his body, and heard Song Mu's voice.
"A man should kneel before his master and be his master. Don't do this."
"Sir, you are our mentor."
When Lian Shouxin said this, Song Mu shook his head and said calmly this time.
"What I have done is only superficial. It is only because of your determination that we are where we are today."
"You should persevere in this way. This spring, I will first wish you all the gold medals."
After the words fell, the voices of the people immediately rang out in the courtyard, and then everyone went out, but they were even more emotional. Some people said that the scholar who was the number one scholar in the Song Dynasty had a full demeanor, which was really admirable. Some people said that Master Song was friendly but taught steadfastly, which was a good thing.
division.
A group of students were inspired by this, and became even more determined to work hard in the examination room and gain fame.
At the moment, Song Mu chatted with Xiao Li for a few more words.
"Jing Zhao, I came here this time because I have one more thing to do. I want to fight for my talents from Jiangnan West Road."
"My lord, you might as well say it straight. If Song Mu can do anything, he will definitely help."
Song Mu was a little curious when he heard that Xiao Li was asking for help from many Jiangnan talents.
"There are still two or three months left in Spring, and many of my Jiangnan West Dao disciples have come, and most of them respect you."
"You have seen what happened just now. I wonder if I can think of a way to hold one or two lectures after this, not just to answer my questions, but to satisfy the admiration of these talented people."
Xiao Li said this with expectation in his eyes. Song Mu nodded after hearing this.
"I agreed to this matter. It is Song Mu's honor to be able to answer questions for students in my hometown."
Xiao Li also smiled, and this time he even sighed.
"It's so good. I have never seen this scene before. If spring comes this time, there will be hundreds of Jinshi in our Jiangnan West Road. As time goes by, I am afraid that the Jinshi scholars and scholars in our Jiangnan West Road will be the best in the world.
.”
"I'm ashamed to say that in my dream yesterday, I actually dreamed that in the future, half of the world's officials will come from my Jiangnan West Road. Such a scene..."
Xiao Li sighed with emotion, and Song Mu also smiled at this moment.
This is not impossible. In the previous life, there was a civil and military dynasty half of Jiangxi. In this life, the majestic civil dynasty could be seen again. Song Mu would also feel that the prosperous age of the world was coming.
In the days that followed, Song Mu became even busier, and a lecture held by Song Mu turned into a terrifying scene in Chang'an.
One day when I was preaching in the academy, thousands of monks came.
Thousands of people raised their hands and asked each other, Hanlin Song Muri solved hundreds of doubts.
It was spread as a beautiful talk in Chang'an, and Song Mu's reputation became even greater. It was even difficult to find a collection of Song Mu's essays and poems in this city's bookstores.
It wasn't until the Spring Festival came again that Song Mu finally breathed his last. At that time, Gu Chengxiu, Gu Fengjie and others came to Chang'an to spend the Spring Festival with Song Mu's family, and they were very happy.
All the way to the Shangyuan Festival, on this day, Song Mu and his family went out. Song Huaitong and Song Chengming made an appointment with three or five friends to hang out. Song Mu hugged Song Yiqing and held Gu Qingqing's hand, and also played among the lanterns in the streets.
"Husband, you only have a few days of leisure throughout the year."
Song Mu also nodded when he heard this, and looked at Gu Qingqing dotingly.
The two have been married for more than ten years and have shared joys and sorrows together. However, they have been busy and hardworking these years and rarely have time to accompany each other. This time they spoke softly.
"Yes, Qingqing, when Huaitong and the others grow up, we will go back and find a pure life."
Gu Qingqing shook her head slightly, looked at Song Mu and said with a smile.
"You said you wanted to find peace, but who knows whether His Majesty will let you go when the time comes."
"Let's just stay in Chang'an. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll feel unbearable again every day."
Song Mu smiled in relief, feeling warm in his heart this time. He pulled Gu Qingqing forward and looked at the lanterns all over the city.
At that time, someone was writing a lantern riddle poem in front of him. Gu Qingqing suddenly pulled Song Mu. Song Mu understood and stepped forward.
Song Mu originally composed poems for Gu Qingqing, hoping to accompany him closely during the lantern festival in the coming year. In this way, Song Mu has often composed poems for Gu Qingqing on the Lantern Festival in recent years, which can be regarded as the love between the two.
At that time, Song Mu took his wife and children and wrote a poem on lantern riddles. Just as he was asking Huai Tong and others what the answer was to the riddle, he suddenly heard a bell ringing in the distance.
The sound of the bell was heavy and urgent, and it passed through the entire Zhuque Street in a moment, and countless people looked up and looked around.
