"The late birth is about just a chick, and it is not clear how to fly in this sky of Chang'an, but after the experience of wind and frost and reckless collision, I believe that it can be changed in the near future."

"Hmm." The old man had finished eating a steamed beard and swallowed it twice, "It's just that the sky in Chang'an is too cold, maybe you won't wait for the day when your wings are full, and you will have to freeze to death in the ditch." ”

Gao Yue immediately didn't know how to reply to the old man's words, and the other party was right: today's exam can indeed allow him to gain a lot of knowledge and experience, how can he put it into action in the future? It has to be a big boost.

Seeing Gao Yue's embarrassed face, the old man laughed again, "Speaking of this, haven't you asked Lang Jun about his surname?" ”

Gao Yue said the door, and the old man seemed to have heard of it, so he nodded, and repeatedly drew the word "Gao" on several sides with his fingers, "Huh? Bohai Hou Gaogong seems to have a different business by the Qishui in Weizhou, isn't it. ”

"Yes." Gao Yue replied truthfully.

"Then you see how this is, this other industry should be in Lang Jun's name, and you are a little difficult in Chang'an, I use my connections to sell the Qishui other industry over there, and exchange it for cash and cloth to send to Chang'an, if Lang Jun is not successful this time, he can still make persistent efforts in Chang'an City."

Gao Yue took out the title deed hidden in the mezzanine of the bookcase in the bucket room from the cloth bag and delivered it to the old man without hesitation.

"Let me explain to Lang Jun first, you will have to wait until October this year to change to cash cloth, can you trust old age?"

"At this time on October 15, Wansheng is still here waiting for Ming Gong."

The old man put the title deed in his sleeve, drank the last mouthful of haggis soup, and then wrapped the two steamed beards in square paper according to the custom, and got up neatly to lead the horse, but he was not in a hurry to go to the Jianfu Gate of Daming Palace, but said to Gao Yue, "The Jinshi test is divided into three games, sticking scriptures, poems, and current affairs. ”

"Thank you Ming Gong for your advice."

The old man slowly got on the horse, "Don't seek the color of the horse on the horse, but seek stability, Gao Langjun, even if you are admitted to the Jinshi, you will be an official in the future." Alas, I have also rewarded many backwards, hoping that in the future, young and handsome people can form a new force to clean up the old rivers and mountains of Datang. However, once they are prosperous, most of them begin to forget their original intentions and recognize thieves as their fathers...... Nowadays, many people regret it too late...... Gao Langjun take care. ”

After speaking, the old man rode his horse leisurely and went to Jianfu Gate.

At that moment, Gao Yue raised his eyes and saw that the old man's big corner belt was revealing a little golden light.

Gao Yue faintly felt that the identity of this old man should be very important, but he couldn't understand the essentials, but he was quite deafening to what he said.

"These questions should be solved by October 15 this year, and before that, let me go to the Tribute Courtyard of the Ministry of Rites with great fearlessness!"

Next, Gao Yue paid the money, picked up the things again, said goodbye to An Laohu, and then strode away in the direction of the imperial city.

The thoroughfare of each square, stretching out to the gate of the imperial city, at this moment the east is still not bright, but the morning light has been slightly revealed, like a piece of light veil spreading, Gao Yue calmly walked in the middle of the street, both sides are full of voices scolding horses: many rich and noble sons with fat horses, the servants around them hold torches high and low, in the jagged sound of the drums in the official street, there are talking and laughing to assemble in front of the door.

When they arrived outside the gate, under the tall city wall, not only came to participate in the Jinshi department, but also other subjects such as the Ming Sutra, the law, and the arithmetic, whether it was splendid clothes, high-spirited, or sackcloth like snow, full of wind and dust, or themselves or their servants carrying all kinds of things, there were more than 3,000 people, congested in front of the city gate.

Gao Yue placed the luggage blanket on the ground, sat on it, and meditated.

At this time, he heard several noble sons who participated in the scientific expedition next to him whispering, one of them introduced himself as Zhu Sui, the son of Zhu Tao, the envoy of the Youzhou Festival, and the other went on to say that his name was Wang Biao, and he was the son-in-law of Li Na, the envoy of the Ziqing Festival; The third said that his name was Bi Jun, and he was the husband of a certain princess of the dynasty.

Then these people squeezed their eyebrows and laughed, probably thinking that this year's Jinshi was none other than them.

Then the king disrespectfully kicked Gao Yue's luggage next to him with his boots, and said mockingly, "It's hard for this person to respond, but it's a pity that all the immortals who fell from the south courtyard of the Ministry of Rites today are heavenly immortals, and they belong to the rich family, you must know that we are all students of Chonghong (Chongwen, Hongwen) Second Hall." ”

Gao Yue was furious, so he protested loudly, "The state has set up imperial examinations to select talents, and the people of Caoze hope to start a family through it, and the hairpin clan hopes to succeed through it." If I fail the exam, I will starve to death in this Chang'an City; If you can't pass the exam, the shadow of the Yulu Gate will be extinct after only three generations, why are you here to show your teeth and claws, is it possible that the master has promised you in advance? ”

"You!" It was the first time for Wang Biao to be reprimanded like this, and he trembled with anger.

Gao Yue stood up and pointed at Wang Biao, "You said that you are the son-in-law of Li Na, the envoy of the Ziqing Festival, and you laughed at us for doing this too much. Do you dare to say that the chief secretary has promised you the Jinshi in front of these thousands of people? ”

As soon as the words were finished, thousands of people in front of the entire Anmen turned their eyes to Wang Biao and Zhu Sui, and the originally boiling scene was as quiet as water in an instant, so frightened that they hurriedly took a few steps back.

Wang Biao was still reckless, but he was stopped by several others and signaled not to meet this poor and sour student.

"It's just a ...... of learning" Wang was angry, but he still gritted his teeth and came out with these words.

Gao Yue didn't refute yet, a tall and thin lifter next to him came over and angrily reprimanded Wang Biao: "The son of the country is too learned, it is the order of the Son of Heaven, and the students in it are all protégés of the Son of Heaven. ”

The other people dressed in sackcloth heard the clues, and immediately became angry and angry, Wang Biao, Zhu Sui and others completely lost the prestige of their talents, and hurriedly apologized for their crimes.

"Who is this?" After apologizing, Yuan Tongzhi, who was with them, hurriedly asked about this tall and thin man.

Before this person could answer, Gao Yue, who had already recognized his identity, stretched out his hand and helped him introduce, "This is Xingyang Zheng Qi!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Sui, Wang Biao, Bi Jun and Yuan Tongzhi's faces changed greatly, and they were all respectful, and they all bowed to Zheng Qi, "Disrespectful and disrespectful!" It turned out to be Zheng Ziming in Xingyang, and I waited for the first, and I didn't dare to argue with my brother. After saying that, these people hurriedly avoided to the side, and did not dare to say anything more.

As a result, many other people also coaxed, and even said that they didn't expect this to be Zheng Qi of Xingyang, it is said that the two prime ministers of the dynasty, Yang Juan and Chang Gon, both appreciated his talent and learning, and even the sons and sons-in-law of this group of festival envoys were like this, so this year's head is none other than him!

In the midst of admiration and frustration, Zheng Qi stood tall, turned his head to look at Gao Yue, who was stunned, and had a great expression of "Guozi is too learned, and I can only lose it, and others are not qualified".

"It turns out that you appeared in the Guozijian that day to visit the Lusheng Palace." Gao Yue suddenly realized.
