Walk slowly.

In fact, the purpose of this trip has been achieved. The leader of the second floor must be himself. To paraphrase the words of later generations, it is to go your own way, so that others have no way to go.

It's just that the reward needs to be given by Zhang Shi'an himself at the banquet. What's more, since I'm here, I have to thank some people.

So although he was a little resistant to this kind of excitement in his heart, Shen Yun still chose to stay.

Fourth floor.

Two officers were standing at the entrance of the building, waiting boredly for the results downstairs.

"I say, brother, guess when the first one will come up." After waiting for an hour, I couldn't wait for anyone to come, and seeing that the time was coming to an end, according to my colleagues who had experienced this kind of literary meeting before, at least until three o'clock had passed, it was possible to come up.

So there's a conversation like this.

"Hey, those people who read books, they're all the masters who are shooting stars when they shit on the ass door, and it's still early. If you want me to say, we will have to climb for half an hour before we can see someone come up. ”

"You, what is the truth? If these grandfathers in it heard, there would be your good fruit to eat. ”

"What are you afraid of, there is a lot of talk in here now, where do you have the heart to look at us here. Alas, I originally said that I was going to drink all night of flower wine tonight, but I was temporarily pulled to eat cold wind in this building. ”

The officer turned his head, looked at the lively scene inside, and said helplessly.

As the Si people said, Zhang Shi'an was talking happily with these Qinzhou celebrities at this time.

In the past, there was Fan Zhongyan "the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world", and then there was Ouyang Xiu "drunk can be happy with it, awake can be written by the writer, too guarded", Shilin unconsciously set off such a trend.

Zhang Shi'an can't be so free and easy and literate as the two, but this Yuan Xi Cultural Meeting, since Liu Qingming did one session, has been deeply engraved in Zhang Shi'an's heart.

In particular, at this time, these literati and scholars in Qinzhou praised themselves one after another, which made this elderly old man feel more and more proud.

"The people of Futai have revitalized the literary style and emphasized education, and the cultural atmosphere of Qinzhou has become more and more prosperous in recent years, which is really a grand event. A few years ago, I traveled to Gyeongju, during which I met a lot of readers, and when I mentioned Qinzhou, this Yuan Xiwen will inevitably hang in my mouth. ”

"That's exactly what it is. Many foreign scholars are envious of our Qinzhou for such a grand occasion, and they praise it, and only when the people are rich and the officials are clear and clear, can there be this. ”

"Among the scholars, there are quite a few people who want to see the mansion in person. Haha, it's really my luck in Qinzhou. ”

Secretly happy in his heart, Zhang Shi'an did not show half of his smugness: "Qinzhou has been a prosperous place of literary style since ancient times, the emperor of antiquity, the Xianggong of Qin, Li Yuan of Tang, and Shiheng of the dynasty are all a generation of heroes. ”

After drinking a glass of wine, he continued: "I'm just diligent in my own work, and I am just icing on the cake for today's meeting." ”

In a burst of "Futai is too modest", the guests were happy.

After all, a few words of flattery are enough, and those of you here are not those who blindly flatter, they all understand the meaning of stopping at the point.

Idle and bored, there is naturally a general speculation with those two errand servants.

"I don't know when those scholars will go upstairs today."

"I was about to talk about it. Although our banquet here will not be held until the end of the day, in our hearts, the masterpieces of today's juniors are the real delicious. ”

"Xiang Gong has always encountered a good work, and he wants to come to a lot of famous articles tonight, but it makes you too addicted to literature and alcohol."

"This addiction is a good one. Haha, when the float is white. ”

Seeing the celebrities and gentlemen in the audience joking one by one, Zhang Shi'an became more and more happy. When I was about to eat another glass of water and wine, I suddenly heard a strange voice in the noise.

"When, when, when, when......"

The slight but rhythmic sound made the celebrities on the fourth floor instantly quiet, and their eyes looked at the entrance of the building almost incredibly.

And the two boring servants were even more excited at this time.

"So quickly, so quickly someone came up. Hurry, come up quickly, let me see, it's the little guy in the restaurant, or the scholar who participated in the literary meeting. ”

An errand muttered to himself, his neck stretched and looked at his chin, but this action was not easy to do too obviously, after all, he was looking at it from behind him.

The other older one next to him seemed much more natural: "Don't look at it, I can guarantee that it is definitely a scholar who participates in the cultural meeting." As he spoke, he was a little excited. Is there really anyone who has passed the review in such a short period of time?

"Oh, but why?"

"You, after all, you are still inexperienced. You must know that the little guy in this teahouse restaurant is used to coming up and down in a hurry, so this step should be faster and the voice should be heavier. ”

Pointing downstairs, the older officer said slowly: "But listen, this voice is not only slow, but every step must be implemented before the next step is taken." Such a person, except for those who have been reading since elementary school, who would care about this. ”

The young officer looked at the big brother across from him with almost adoration, sending chills down the spine of the older officer. smiled awkwardly, and already saw Shen Yun's figure.

"Huh."

The older officer whispered an exclamation.

Before he came, he also took the time to see the scholars who had high hopes from the people. Characters like the Seven Friends of the County, the Three Talents of the State School, etc., although they just glanced at it, they have a rough impression.

But coming up, he was sure, not any of those people.

Just thinking about it, Shen Yun had already walked to the entrance of the building, and the two servants bowed together: "According to the rules of the Wenhui, those who climb the fourth floor should hold the token of the review." Please also show it to Childe. ”

Even if Shen Yun was dressed ordinarily, in front of these literati, especially tonight, the servants did not dare to take it. A sentence of son, it can be said that all the respects are in it.

Shen Yun nodded, took out something from his sleeve, and handed it to the officer.

If you look closely, it is a bamboo plaque with extremely exquisite carving. It is about the size of a child's palm, and there are yang patterns on the edges of both sides, and there is a blank space on both sides in the middle of the brocade flowers.

However, at this time, the bamboo card in Shen Yun's hand was written on both sides. If you are literate, you can see that on one side is "Qingyu Case, Yuan Xi", and on the other side is "Magnolia is slow, plum makeup is worth it".

Just by taking a look at the bamboo card, the two errand officers knew that this was a genuine talent.

There were only a dozen or so bamboo plaques tonight, and they were distributed to the judges on the three floors below. Only with their unanimous approval will they be given a bamboo plaque to go up to the top floor.

Getting out of the way, Shen Yun slowly walked into the fourth floor.

It's a weird feeling to be stared at by a lot of people. In particular, the eyes that look at themselves come from these legendary groups of people with the most respected status in Qinzhou Shilin.

Zhang Shi'an and the celebrities of Qinzhou were also muttering in their hearts at this time.

Who is this junior, how have I never seen it? Could it be that people from other places can't do it? This is not a good sign, it was originally intended to promote the literary style of Qinzhou, but it was crushed by outsiders, isn't it a bamboo basket to draw water.

Just when many people were secretly suspicious in their hearts, Shen Yun walked to the fourth floor and bowed to Zhang Shi'an: "After the end of school, enter Shen Yun, meet the Lord Futai, and meet the princes." ”

Zhang Shi'an suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked Shen Yun: "Shen Yun, let me ask you, who are you, since you can go up to the fourth floor, in order not to be famous?" ”

This question was asked, but the doubts in the hearts of everyone here were asked.

A group of people looked at Shen Yun in unison, just waiting for him to give an answer, so as to confirm what he thought in his heart.

"The student is a native of Niu Saddle Fort, Chengji County. Three years ago, he failed the scientific examination, and his father was newly mourned, so he kept filial piety at home and did not come and go in the city. ”

As soon as the words fell, many people at the banquet were overjoyed.

However, today's protagonist is still Zhang Shi'an, so no one oversteps him. However, looking at Zhang Shi'an's next move, he was still a little puzzled.

"Good, good. Come and sit down for Shen Sheng. Zhang Shi'an nodded, and asked his subordinates to arrange a position for Shen Yun, but he continued: "The banquet will not start until the time has passed, and all the talented people have come. ”

There was no excessive praise, and there was no mention of everything about Fan's house. Even this rhetoric of the question is a bit difficult to understand.

It's just that here in Shen Yun, there is another idea.

He just thought that he had come too early and disrupted the fun of these people. With a little apology in his heart, he bowed to Zhang Shi'an and everyone present, and then came to his seat.

As soon as he sat down, he heard someone smile and ask him: "Shen Sheng, you are at home, have you ever left your studies behind?" ”

Seeing that Shen Yun was a little puzzled, this person smiled slightly: "But I suddenly thought that Liu Qingming, the county commander of Chengji County the year before last, is said to invite a scholar named Shen Yun to enter the county school, but the people refused because of the mourning." It's you. ”

"I'm also looking forward to it, what is the ability of such a person who is worthy of Liu Qingming's initiative to invite."

said it very bluntly, but the meaning is also obvious, that is, to take the school Shen Yun one or two.

Shen Yun got up and bowed, and then sat down again and replied: "During the mourning period, peace and poverty are happy. Thanks to the help of the nobles, I also read two or three subsets of scriptures and histories every month. Si people's kindness, the sense of five inside, so there is only hard reading and reciprocation. It's just a matter of learning, as vast as a sea of smoke, and the students can only say that they can only leave the ferry now. ”

The humble attitude made these people nod secretly, but the person who asked the question did not let Shen Yun go because of this, but asked directly: "Then tell me, how is the article on the third floor tonight?" ”
