In the streets and alleys of Bianjing, various government offices tried out two people to get into the third class in Reyi Pavilion.
The collected works of Su Shi and Su Che were copied by others, and paper was expensive in Luoyang for a while.
As for Zhang Yue's collection of essays that had been sold in the market, people immediately picked them up and read them again.
As the saying goes, a person's name is like a tree's shadow. Because of the fact that he entered the third class of the imperial examination, Zhang Yuejin's volume had been criticized overwhelmingly and was even ridiculed by the scholar-officials as a money-making work.
It stopped all of a sudden.
So the bookseller who had bought Zhang Yue's books immediately printed the remaining engravings again.
Because the engraving has been printed twice, it has been eroded by ink and is in disarray. Many words are not clear after printing, but even so, it cannot stop people who are enthusiastic about buying.
In addition to the huge increase in sales, all kinds of heated discussions have dropped again. Everyone is talking about the extraordinary features of the volume again, and the number of praises is increasing day by day.
There are also many fans who bring their own dry food on the market to praise it. For example, it is a work of conscience, painstaking work, and heart-breaking words. It immediately overwhelms all the previous criticism.
When the curses were overwhelming before, Zhang Yue hid in Taiping Xingguo Temple and didn't hear anything about it. But now that it has received rave reviews, he can't stop the sound reaching his ears.
An old house in a deep alley was in disrepair and could not stop the autumn wind blowing in through the cracks.
Guo Lin, who was immersed in studying, tightened his clothes and bent down at his desk to continue studying. As the saying goes, he was a Jinshi at fifty years old and Ming Jing at thirty years old. Now in his twenties, he is already quite old for Ming Jing Ke.
In order to take the exam, I had to pick up many of the scriptures and commentaries I had read and recite them again.
But no matter how proficient you are in memorizing it, there are always some omissions in the examination room. This is the tragedy of Mingjing subjects. For example, the technical level of Jinshi subjects can always be improved with hard work.
Ke Ming Jing Ke may become worse with each passing year as his memory declines.
However, Guo Lin was already used to hard work. At this time, he heard a vendor outside the house selling books. He put on his clothes and walked out. When he saw Zhang Yue's volume among them, he took it out of his bag without hesitation.
I bought it with the last few coins and took it back to the house to read.
Guo Lin read for a while and heard a knock on the door outside.
He stood up and opened the door and was startled when he saw Zhang Yue standing in front of the door with two bottles of wine and a smile on his face.
"Junior brother... no, Duke Zhuangyuan..."
Zhang Yue pretended to kick him and said, "If you call me that, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Guo Lin laughed out loud and said, "Okay, junior brother."
Zhang Yue walked into Guo Lin's house, immediately put the wine aside, and took out two kilograms of braised beef wrapped in oil paper from his pocket and placed it on the table.
Zhang Yue said with a smile: "No serious restaurants in Bianjing sell beef. I still found some from a goose shop in a remote alley. This is no better than when we were in Wuxi, where we could buy beef everywhere.
Senior brother, you must have a drink with me today."
Hearing this, Guo Lin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll warm the wine for you."
Zhang Yue watched Guo Lin busy and couldn't help but sigh: "You think it's ridiculous or not, Bianjing has everything, but there is no beef. When we were studying, there was nothing in the countryside, but it is not difficult to find beef."
Guo Lin was busy while listening to Zhang Yue's words.
Zhang Yue kept talking nonstop and walked back and forth in the room. He also saw a book buried in the pile of books, which was his own book.
There is a line of small characters next to the scroll. I am very happy that my junior brother's article has been improved again. I also encourage him.
Zhang Yue couldn't help but pause when he saw the words in his mouth. He turned around and wiped his eyes. He was worried that Guo Lin would find him and continued talking.
Zhang Yue and Guo Lin drank and talked for half a day, and finally dispersed drunkenly. Zhang Yue walked to the street. Although he was famous as Jinghua, he felt like he was alone.
At this time, I saw a mule cart parked on the side of the road.
The people above were surprised and said: "Isn't this Duzhi?"
Zhang Yue saw that it was the two brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe. There were several other people in the car who were Lin Xi, and the other two were unknown to Zhang Yue. The person he had just greeted was Lin Xi.
Su Shi immediately laughed and said: "Since we are going to see a play together in Wase, we might as well go together."
Zhang Yue looked at the two unknown people in the car and hesitated slightly. Su Che smiled and said, "I will introduce you to you. This person's surname is Wang, Fen, Yanzu, and Gu, Lin, Zidun."
Zhang Yue had heard of the two of them and knew that they were the same age as Su Shi, Su Che and Lin Xi.
However, Zhang Yue doubted that it was not the two of them. He had heard from Ouyang Xiu that Su Shi had a dispute with him about the third rank. Just in case... He still remembered that there was an imperial examination in the Qing Dynasty. Two good friends were competing for the top spot, and one of them deliberately invited him to the imperial examination the night before.
The other party went to sleep at home and then set off firecrackers, causing the other party to have to drink ginseng soup to force himself to take the mental exam the next day.
Zhang Yue thought to himself, how could he judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?
Are the two brothers Su Shi and Su Che the ones who did such despicable things?
Zhang Yue immediately laughed and said, "If that's the case, I'm sorry."
After saying this, Zhang Yue also got on the bus.
The mule driving the car was also very powerful, and it pulled six people galloping through the streets of Bianjing. Zhang Yue quickly became familiar with everyone. And Wang Fen Gu Lin knew that Zhang Yue was the number one scholar and the third class in the pavilion exam, and he had a bright future, and he was born from birth.
Come with a heart of acceptance.
When everyone arrived at the Wase, they ordered tea and fruit, watched the show, and chatted.
Su Shi was humorous and absurd, while Su Che was taciturn. When we first met, I felt that Su Shi was bright and generous, which appealed to my heart. But if you think so, others must also think so. Historically, Su Shi was one of those people who had too many friends, so they may not remember him that way.
You. But Su Zhe is different. After you have been with him for a long time, once he recognizes you, he will be able to take you into his heart.
It was a moonlit night and the gongs and drums on the stage were sounding continuously.
The play was so exciting that Su Shi could not help but be so happy that he took the lead in cheering. Many of the others who knew Su Shi came forward to greet him. Zhang Yue turned away and talked to Su Che, Gu Lin, Wang Fen and Lin Xi.
The gentle breeze blows slowly, and for some reason such a bustling and noisy place just fits Zhang Yue's somewhat lonely state of mind.
Everyone dispersed that night. Su Shi and Su Che first sent off two friends, and finally sent Zhang Yue to his house in a mule cart.
On the occasion of parting, brothers Su Shi and Su Che all got off the mule cart and bid farewell to Zhang Yue.
After bidding farewell to Zhang Yue and getting into the car, Su Che said to Su Shi: "Zhang Du is a true and honest gentleman and a friend worth making."
Su Shi said happily: "Of course."
After saying that, Ersu drove away.
Three days before the imperial examination, Zhang Yue stayed at home and refused all visitors. He got up early every day to write a policy question, another in the afternoon, and another before going to bed.
After three days of this, Zhang Yue felt that he had adjusted his overall condition to the best.
On August 25th, Su Shi, Su Che, and Zhang Yue all went to Chongzheng Hall to take the imperial examination.
This imperial examination also left many good stories in later imperial examinations.
