Shen Yan was arrogant, and although he couldn't look down on a mediocre person like Han Wen who could barely be regarded as ambitious and talented, he didn't like his good intentions, so he changed into civilian clothes and walked out of the post station with Han Wen.

When he met Zhao Yan and the others at this time, Shen Yan thought that Han Wen deliberately arranged this 'chance encounter', so that he could open up to these two people in the hospital examination, but just to see the performance of a few people, it seemed like a real chance encounter, and he was not good at guessing.

Zhao Yan had a guess about the identity of this Shen Xianggong, so he naturally refused to let go of such a good opportunity to make friends, and turned his head to see that the cups and plates on his table were in disarray, afraid that Han Zhifu and Shen Yan would not condescend, so he beckoned Xiao Er and said: "Open a private room upstairs for us, and have some good wine and food." ”

Xiao Er agreed with a smile, and was about to turn around to make arrangements, but he was stopped by Shen Yan if he didn't want to, and then he said: "Brother Han, tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival, if three or five people are in the private room, it will inevitably be a little cold, I think it is better to linger in this lobby for a while." ”

Han Wen nodded and said, "Very good." ”

Zhao Yan saw that this Shen Xianggong didn't give face, and then looked at his face and style, he must be a self-proclaimed 'clear stream', I heard that this kind of person doesn't eat soft and hard, unless he is a fellow believer, otherwise others are very difficult to make friends.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan felt that it was better not to stay as an eyesore, so he wanted to say goodbye and leave, but before he could speak, he heard Han Zhifu say to Shen Yan: "Didn't Brother Shen say before that he wanted to meet the person who wrote 'Insist on Qingshan and not relax'?" Now that the person is in front of you, you can take the school exam. ”

Shen Yan's expression moved, and then he looked Zhao Yan up and down a few times.

In all fairness, Shen Yan loves the poem "Bamboo and Stone" very much, but Zhao Yan in front of him is not good-looking, and it is difficult for him to associate it with the author of "Bamboo and Stone".

"Brother Han laughed, he is a shallow learner, how to take on the word "school." Shen Yan had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, he turned his gaze to Hangul, and said: "But today's Mid-Autumn Festival full moon, there is a Dongpo monk's "Water Tune Song Head" to be passed on to future generations, and then there is the "Mid-Autumn Moon" spoken by Xu Shi of the Hanlin Academy in the current dynasty is famous for a while. ”

Han Wen stroked his palms and smiled: "Spring flowers and autumn moons, I think I remember them as poems, so I invite Brother Shen to come first." ”

Shen Yan did not shirk, although he was not selected for the Hanlin Academy, he was also quite conceited about his talents, but he composed a poem in a moment.

After listening to it, Han Wen praised: "Good poem, Brother Shen's ambition in this poem is noble, like the bright moon in the sky, when it is white." ”

Zhao Yan sat aside, feeling a little uneasy at this time, there must be poems related to the Mid-Autumn Festival in the middle and late Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, but he has no impression, and if he wants to do it now, he can only rely on his true ability.

Outsiders in the lobby of the restaurant came and went, and before I knew it, half an hour had passed, Han Wen and Zhang Wenyuan each wrote a poem and a poem during the period, and now only Zhao Yan did not speak.

Hangul's poems can only be said to be passable, Shen Yan just praised them twice, but for Zhang Wenyuan's words, he was quite amazed, and then he really praised them.

Zhang Wenyuan also vaguely guessed Shen Yan's identity, and his words could win Shen Tixue's favor, and he was naturally very happy in his heart.

At this time, it was time for Zhao Yan to recite the poems he had written, and Zhang Wenyuan turned his head and saw that he was still in a daze, so he kicked him lightly under the table to remind him not to lose his impression in front of Shen Tixue.

After Zhao Yan came back to his senses, he saw that the three of them all turned their eyes to him, so he got up and said: "The student is not very proficient in poetry, but now he has occasional gains, please ask Han Shibo, Mr. Shen and Brother Zhang for advice." ”

Han Wen said: "Don't say the words of humility, if you are not very proficient in poetry, how can you make the sentence 'insist on the green mountains and not relax'?" It's better to recite the poems quickly and let Mr. Shen appreciate them one or two. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yan paced a few steps in the hall, and said slowly: "The leaves of Hutuo have not fallen, and the countryside is about to live in autumn." The people in front of the building are weaving, and the guest lives in the real city. Heavy to mulberry thoughts, sad and often mountain feelings. I don't know the wild goose outside the sky, what is the long march? ”

The leaves on the Hutuo River have not yet fallen, the autumn mood in the countryside is about to be born, the people in front of the Yake residence are like weaving, but I am living in Fucheng because of the hospital examination, at this time the thoughts of my hometown linger in my heart, I can't help but feel desolate in Changshan, I don't know the wild goose flying high in the sky, but for what is the long way to travel?

Zhending was called Changshan in ancient times, Shen Yan naturally knew that at this time, Zhao Yan's poem described homesickness, but it also aroused his heart, I don't know if the old father and mother at home are okay, on this festive season, will they look at the starry sky and miss their unfilial son?

…………………………

The hairpin flower ceremony originated in the Tang Dynasty, in the "Qujiang banquet" to celebrate the new science and technology scholars, the hairpin flower ceremony is the most important procedure, the new science and technology Jinshi everyone hairpin flowers to show glory, and to select the youngest person as the flower Lang, ride a horse to travel all over the capital garden, the so-called "spring breeze proud horseshoe disease, one day to see all the Chang'an flowers".

The Song royal family inherited the Tang royal family's love for hairpins, and the emperor presided over the hairpin ceremony when Taizong became customized.

In the Ming Dynasty, the folk have no Tang and Song Dynasty men's hairpins, although the hairpin ceremony at this time is more refined, the hairpin is more exquisite, but the etiquette program is like the hairpin made of silver, stiff and rigid, has long lost the hairpin ceremony blessing vitality, the meaning of the future, just reduced to a form.

The hospital test has ended, although Zhao Yan passed successfully, but did not continue the previous good luck, and finally only won a third place, but he is already very content, but for some people who watch the excitement, Zhao Yan, who was named the head of the county and government examinations, did not continue to achieve good results in the hospital examination, became the head of the case and won the title of Xiao Sanyuan, which is really a little boring.

After the hairpin ceremony, you have to worship the Confucian Temple, after a set of fixed procedures, it is the hairpin banquet, which is a welcome banquet, welcome the students who have passed the college examination, and officially become a member of the great Ming scholars, which is much simpler than the deer banquet after the township test, and the grace banquet after the palace test.

Although Zhao Yan did not win the honor of 'Little Sanyuan', Shen Tixue still looked at him differently, in addition to the influence of the poem on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhao Yan's humility and not arrogance also made Shen Tixue quite appreciative, after all, children who are both smart and studious, and sensible and know how to advance and retreat are always more endearing.

On the second day after the hairpin banquet, sitting in the carriage back to Shenzhou, listening to the coachman shouting one by one Zhao Xiucai and one by one Zhang Xiucai, Zhao Yan was still a little proud in his heart, but then he thought that although he had become a Xiucai, he had just stepped into the class of 'shi', and he still belonged to the bottom of it, so this pride faded a lot.

Zhang Wenyuan also successfully passed the college examination, ranking sixth in the college examination, ten years of hard work, and finally in exchange for today's gratifying achievements, he even dreamed and laughed along the way.

At noon on the third day of the ninth lunar month, the carriage carrying the two finally arrived outside the west gate of Shenzhou, and after putting down Zhao Yan, they drove Zhang Wenyuan to Zaoke Village in the southeast of the city.

The closeness of the hometown is more timid does not apply to Zhao Yan at this time, and Jiuzhou Town is not his hometown, strictly speaking, it is not even Taocun, his hometown is more than five hundred years later.

"Senior brother?"

Before he reached the entrance of the village, Wang Lin's loud voice came, and then he saw a burst of smoke and dust, and a high-headed horse with a red date rushed to Zhao Yan at a gallop, and then was pulled by someone to pull the reins, his front hooves were in the air, and he stopped after screaming twice.

"Ahem......" Zhao Yan covered his mouth and coughed twice, then looked up at Wang Lin angrily.

Wang Lin's height at this time was nearly 1.9 meters, his muscles were knotted, and he looked like a powerful mess.

"Senior brother, get on the horse, you sit down, I'll take you home."

Take your sister...... Are you a dog when I can't? Zhao Yan couldn't help this stunned, and he didn't bother to reprimand him, seeing that there was still a short way from home, he asked, "You are waiting for me at the entrance of the village?" ”

"What's the ...... Today, my father finally went out, and Master Li also rested, and no one cared about me at home, so I ran out to walk my horse, and when I walked to the entrance of the village, I happened to see my senior brother. After Wang Lin finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yan, with a strange look on his face.

When Zhao Yan saw him like this, he didn't know what happened to him, so he had to kick him and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Wang Lin smiled and said stupidly: "My father said that you are a showman now, and your identity is different, so I am not allowed to call you senior brother in the future." ”

Zhao Yan's first friend after coming to this world was Wang Lin, who had been with him for more than a year, and had already regarded him as half a relative in his heart.

"It's okay, Xiucai also has two eyes and one nose, isn't Li Fuzi also Xiucai, he doesn't want to go to your house to teach, how to call it before and how to call it in the future, if your father trains you, you will say what I said."

Wang Lin nodded stunnedly, and said, "Senior brother, after the news of your talent spread from the state government, many people went to your house every day. When I went to the master to practice boxing that day, a fat woman went to the master, as if she wanted to tell you about her daughter-in-law. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yan hurriedly asked, "Then my father didn't agree, right?" ”

The marriage of this era pays attention to the words of the parents' matchmaker, in the words of a term in later generations, it is a lottery, the moment the red hijab is lifted, it is the moment when the final mystery is revealed, whether your wife is as beautiful as a fairy, or ugly is better than no salt, you can't help it at all.

"I don't know this, after the fat woman came, I was sent away by the master." Wang Lin scratched his head and said.

Zhao Yan slapped his forehead helplessly, hoping that the cheap dad didn't make a decision easily.

"Did Master Li go home after taking a bath, or did he study in your small courtyard?"

Wang Lin replied: "Master Li moved his family here a few days ago, and now he has been living in that small courtyard. ”

Zhao Yan nodded and said, "Then go to your house to meet the master first." ”
