Liu Jing was stunned when he heard this, and only after a while did he arch his hand and say: "Brother Qian, this poem is indeed better than the next." ”

Qian Liangcai smiled and was about to speak, but Zhang Wenyuan next to him had already said: "Brother Qian, this little brother seems to be familiar, it should be made by Liu Mengxiu, a master of science in the previous dynasty, right?" ”

Li Xun also laughed and said: "Exactly, Brother Zhang Xian's statement, I also remembered that the name of the poem "Dengzhen Prefecture Yanghe Gate" was indeed written by Liu Mengxiu. ”

"Okay, it turns out that Brother Qian is crazy about me, this poem was copied by you." Liu Jing said and reached out to grab Qian Liangcai.

Qian Liangcai was not ashamed to be exposed, and after quickly avoiding Liu Jing's claws of Lushan, he defended himself: "The world's scholars are a family, and occasionally use the learning of their predecessors, how can they say plagiarism?" ”

A few people talked and laughed, and then Li Xun and Zhang Wenyuan each made a poem, among several people, Zhang Wenyuan's seven-word quatrain was the most brilliant, and after everyone praised a few words, they looked at Zhao Yan, and he was the only one left who did not write a poem at this time.

Zhao Yan's skills are far inferior to everyone else, if he said who Liu Mengxiu was, maybe he could still say one, two, three, if he said what articles Liu Mengxiu had written, what poems he had done, then he would be blind, he had to be a 'beautiful man' in a low-key manner, and at this moment he was watched by everyone, and he also knew that he couldn't do it as a 'beautiful man', so he had to scratch his head and pretend to be contemplative.

In fact, he just remembered a poem about Zhending City in later generations, which was seen in a restaurant when he traveled to Zhengding County in later generations, which is said to be written by Rong Pihua in the Qing Dynasty, but after a long time, he always has to think more to remember the whole poem.

As for whether plagiarism is a loss, he also thinks about it, compared with the people of this era, he just has a few hundred years of knowledge, and other aspects are far inferior to the people of this era, and his goal is to pass the imperial examination, and then become a member of the official standard.

In this era, the most important thing for an official is reputation, followed by talent, at this time his name is unknown, he should take precautions, and first properly cultivate a little false name, which is commonly known as raising hope. Although there are pros and cons after becoming famous, the pros and cons still outweigh the disadvantages, so about plagiarism or something, I can only say 'Saorui' to those people in later generations in advance.

"Zhending City is based on Taihang in the west, Hengyue in the north, Hutuo in the south, and Yinghai in the east, which has always been a place for soldiers to fight. When the younger brother thought of this, he had to write a poem and ask the brothers to correct it. Zhao Yan made a full gesture, and then chanted: "The ups and downs of Shagang are a county ring, and the Tang Dynasty has become a Dehan Changshan." Hug Hengyue Thousand Peaks in the west, and intercept Hutuo Baidao Bay in the south. China's throat is connected to nine provinces, and Shenjing locks and controls three passes. When the river Shuo is called the town, the tiger is between the dragon and the swallow and the Zhao. ”

"Good poetry...... Brother Zhao is extraordinary, and this poem will surely leave a name in history. "Although Zhang Wenyuan is three years older than Zhao Yan, but not too much, in order to show modesty, he usually calls 'Brother Zhao', and does not call Brother Xian, at this time he heard Zhao Yan's poem, he couldn't help clapping his hands and admiring loudly.

Zhang Wenyuan has a humble and low-key temperament, less competitive and competitive, and has the legacy of the ancient gentleman, Zhao Yan has a good impression of him, and said modestly when he heard the words: "Brother Zhang has won the award, if you want to say that the spirit is also the spirit of this Zhending ancient city, the younger brother is just an occasional gain." ”

Liu Jing said: "Don't be too humble, this poem is far better than what we have just written, this is the truth." There were still people who were dissatisfied because the virtuous brother won the first place in the county test, and as soon as this poem came out, presumably those people could go home and read the wall. ”

"Haha, Brother Liu said this interestingly." Li Xun and Qian Liangcai also bowed their heads and said.

A few people were laughing and talking to themselves, and the handlebar-style voice came in outside: "A few sons, Hengsheng Inn has arrived." ”

The horses of this era are equivalent to the Ferraris of later generations, and other idlers cannot afford to raise them, let alone carriages. Liu Jing and Li Xun both have carriages at home, but they are a little small, and they can't hold a few people, so they scraped together some money with a few people and hired a spacious carriage in the state car and horse dealership.

Liu Jing didn't bring an entourage with him on this trip, but he thought it through, and in the first half of the month, he had sent someone to set up a few rooms at the Hengsheng Inn in Fucheng, and now he only needs to report his name on the counter.

After everything was settled, it was already dark outside, and the handlebar style got Liu Jing's silver reward path and left, presumably looking for a simple inn to spend the night, and then return to Shenzhou tomorrow.

After a few days of driving, although they were in a carriage, everyone was also tired from the upside down, and after dinner, they said that they would go to the government room together tomorrow to sign up, and then they went back to the house to rest.

The next day, after the rain, the air was fresh and abnormal, a few people had breakfast and then walked to the mansion together, Liu Jing and Li Xun had been to the mansion, to be the guide this time, ready to wait until the mansion finished the name, then led the rest of the people to wander around the city of Zhending.

Zhending government leads five states and eleven counties, the number of people participating in the government examination in each state and county ranges from fifty or sixty to early 100, and there are about 1,000 people according to statistics.

Today is the first day of the first month of April, there are many candidates who come to the government room to register, Zhao Yan and several people queue up for three poles on the day to finally sign up, and then they will take the test well, and then Liu Jing and Li Xun will take the lead, and start to wander around in Zhending City.

The circumference of Zhending city is twenty-four miles, the city is three zhang and two feet high, three zhang wide, set up four city gates in the east, west, south and north, each city gate is set up with three city walls of the inner city, urn city and moon city, enter and exit the city to pass through three city gates, its inner garrison soldiers are more than Xi'an Mansion and Nanjing City, it is said that it is a city, in fact, it is more appropriate to call it a fortress fortress, which shows the importance of its political and military status in the Ming Dynasty at this time.

The north gate is called Yong'an Gate, the inner city gate is inscribed with the arch protection of Shenjing, and the urn city gate is the protection of Jinan; The name of the south gate is Changle Gate, the inscription on the inner gate is Sanguanxiong Town, the inscription on the urn city gate is Yingxun, and the inscription on the moon gate is the thoroughfare of nine provinces; The name of the west city gate is Zhenyuan Gate, the inscription on the inner city gate is Xiu Ru Taihang, and the inscription on the urn city gate is Ru Lan; The east city gate is called Yingxu Gate, Zhao Yan and others enter the Zhending City from this gate, the inscription on the inner gate of this gate is the light containing Yinghai, and the urn city gate is Hancui.

The inscriptions on these four city gates all have their own meanings, and Liu Jing is like a treasure, explaining them to everyone one by one, which opened Zhao Yan's eyes.

Zhending City is so big, a day of natural shopping can not be finished, in fact, until noon, everyone is tired and can't walk, so they have to find a wine shop, while drinking and eating, while listening to Liu Jing's introduction to this important town in Hebei.

"Brothers, brothers, I will take you to a good place in the afternoon......" Liu Jing took a sip of wine, only halfway through the words but did not say any more, just made an unfathomable appearance.

Qian Liangcai said meaningfully: "Isn't this good place that Brother Liu said Chunman Pavilion?" ”

"Brother Qian also knows about Chunman Pavilion, haven't you been there before?" Liu Jing smiled a little inexplicably.

Zhao Yan on the side vaguely guessed what kind of place this Chunman Pavilion was, it was estimated that it was the Qinglou in Zhending City, otherwise how could Liu Jing and the two of them laugh so cheaply.

"No, no, I've just admired his name for a long time, even if Brother Liu doesn't say it, I'll see it in the next." Qian Liangcai stroked his palm and smiled.

Zhang Wenyuan is a good boy, at this time he didn't understand what the two of them meant, and he didn't understand it until Zhao Yan explained it, and then he saw that his expression seemed to be moved, and he had the meaning of going to see it.

Li Xun also already understood, but his face was embarrassed, and after thinking for a while, he said: "There is a close friend of my father in Zhending City, I want to pay a visit in the afternoon, I'm afraid I can't go with Brother Liu." ”

Liu Jingdao: "It's okay, the Spring Pavilion won't open until nightfall, Brother Li just needs to meet with us as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Yan also has the heart to visit the Han Governor's Mansion, and take advantage of the fact that the government examination has not yet started to 'contact' his feelings, but if he goes, it is best to be alone, at this time, since Li Xun has made a start, he is also busy: "Before leaving, Wang Yuanwai asked me to send a letter to him and his friends after coming to Fucheng, and now it is still early, the letter is on his body, the younger brother and Brother Li set off together, and they will definitely be able to rush back before nightfall." ”

Liu Jing heard this: "When the virtuous brother first arrived in Fucheng, the path is not familiar, so why don't you let the brother go with you." ”

"There is a mouth under the nose, if you don't know the path, just ask someone, besides, that place is not far from the inn where we live, Brother Liu doesn't need to worry." Zhao Yanwan refused.

After eating and drinking, Zhao Yan and Li Xun said goodbye to everyone together, and after walking out of the wine shop, they went east and west.

The government is located on the street in front of the house...... Well, that's nonsense. Fuqian Street and Fuyamen are a central axis from south to north, Fuqian Street Street South Entrance erects the "Ancient Changshan County" archway, and in front of the Fuya, there is the "Right Fuxiong Domain" archway, and in front of the Fuya is the wall in front of the Fuya.

Zhao Yan bypassed the wall and came to the front door, he didn't dare to bring gifts, only on the way he copied the poem called "Zhengding Mansion" that he copied from later generations, borrowed paper and pen and wrote it on paper and brought it over.

There is a "courtesy" to go all over the world, and it is difficult to move an inch without "courtesy", this sentence is common throughout the ancient and modern times, and it is really a wise saying.

Zhao Yan reported the name and asked to see the prefect of Han, but the officials standing guard at the door did not look at him, and in desperation, he had to take out one or two pieces of silver from his arms and handed them over, and the officials took the silver, and then bowed his head and said to Zhao Yan: "The government test is imminent, and I don't know how many people want to meet the prefect in recent days. ”

"That's, that's, when the big brother passed the word, he only said that Zhao Yan, the kid in the Hongbin Building in Hengshui, asked to see him." After Zhao Yan finished laughing, he saw the official nodding arrogantly, turned around and entered the yamen.
