In the Rong Garden, the meandering water flows, dozens of young people sit or lie down along the stream, some people sing generously, some people chant poems in a low voice, and some people comment on current affairs loudly, and when the wine glass in the stream stops in front of someone, it immediately causes everyone to stop what they are doing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Looking at the wandering scholars in front of him, a handsome young man sitting at the end looked a little lonely, sitting there alone drinking and drinking, and did not participate in the game of the scholar in front of him.

"Brother You Shao, everyone is having such a good time, you are a peerless poet, why don't you get involved?" At this moment, I saw a short-bearded young man sitting next to the handsome young man and said with a smile.

"Brother Dongming, this is going to kill me, when it comes to poetry, except for the Yan Guogong who easily does not write poetry, no one can afford these four words!" I saw that this handsome young man called Brother You Shao was smiling and waving his hand, although Li Xiu rarely wrote poems, and rarely interacted with readers, but several of his poems that were circulated abroad were praised by others, which was also the main reason why he was famous.

"Haha, Yan Guogong is not something that we can touch, but looking at your preoccupied appearance, could it be that you are moved to help Chunxin? But this is not surprising, with Brother You Shao's talent and appearance, walking on the street in the past two days, I am afraid that I have received a lot of women's handkerchiefs, right? I saw this short-bearded Dongming brother laughing again.

This young man known as Brother You Shao is not only good at learning, but also very handsome, he is the first in their group of scholars, every time he walks on the street with him, it will attract many women to peek at it, and now it is the Shangyuan Festival, and naturally there are many amorous women who deliver tokens to each other, so it attracted Brother Dongming's words above.

"Brother Dongming, don't make fun of me, you see that I don't have anything to do now, and I don't even have a place to live in Chang'an, how can any woman take a fancy to me?" Hearing Brother Dongming's words, this handsome young man laughed at himself and said with a smile, although there were many women who gave him tokens in the Shangyuan Festival, he would not take it seriously, after all, with his conditions, even if he came to propose marriage, I am afraid that people would not agree, not to mention that he is still young now, and he has no idea of starting a family.

"Why not, I think Brother You Shao took good care of the two girls who came yesterday dressed as men, and the older one is also the same age as Brother You Shao, I think it's quite suitable!" This Dongming brother teased again, he has a good relationship with this You Shao brother, and even the two of them live together, so he usually likes to make some harmless jokes.

"Go and go~, you're embarrassed to say, yesterday people obviously just wanted to come in and see the excitement, but you big men actually forced people to compose poems, and you made fun of them if you couldn't do it, I just said a few fair words, but I didn't expect to be teased by you!" Brother You Shao couldn't help but laugh and scolded when he heard this.

"But seriously, Brother You Shao, your talent is among the top among us, and when it comes to this year's imperial examination, your hope is also the greatest, if you can really go to high school, with your talent, I'm afraid that many noble girls in Chang'an City are vying to marry you!" Dongming said that at this time, he was serious again.

When Li Shimin first ascended the throne the year before last, in order to stop the mouths of the world's scholars, he opened an Enke, but the Enke was held too hastily, and many scholars from other places failed to arrive in Chang'an, and this year is the real imperial examination year, so many scholars who did not catch up with the imperial examination in the year before last stayed, such as Brother Dongming and Brother You Shao in front of them, all of which belong to this situation, and for this year's imperial examination, they are also bound to win.

"Brother Dongming, don't praise me, now I don't even have a candidate for the line, although there is a recommendation from Governor Yang, but Governor Yang is far away in Yangzhou after all, and it has little impact on Chang'an, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to compare with others in the examination room!" When Brother You Shao said at the end, he also showed a lonely expression on his face, the reason why he was sitting here alone just now was actually worrying about the matter.

The imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty is different from that of later generations, for example, in the imperial examination, the test paper is not named, so that the examiner who reviews it can see the name of the candidate, and the Tang Dynasty allows others to recommend these candidates to the imperial court, the higher the identity of the recommended person, the more people recommended, then the greater the fame of the candidate. In the expectation of getting their recommendation, this is called "row roll".

This Brother You Shao is actually just twenty years old, and he is the youngest among the scholars who participated in the imperial examination, and the reason why he was able to participate in the imperial examination at such a young age was because he was recommended by Yang Rengong, the governor of Yangzhou, but Yang Rengong could only recommend him to participate in the imperial examination, and it could not affect the results of the imperial examination, so he still needed to do it himself, but unfortunately he didn't know anyone in Chang'an at all, and he was thin-skinned and had strong self-esteem, and he was unwilling to visit famous and high-ranking officials like other scholars. As a result, it is now naturally at a disadvantage.

"You Shao, it's not that I'm talking about you, everyone is doing the scroll, and those who can accept the scroll are either celebrities or high-ranking officials and nobles, so don't be embarrassed, it's nothing more than just take the articles and poems you wrote, and then run to the other party's door and hand them over!" Brother Dongming spoke again at this time and persuaded him, he is also a pity for Brother You Shao's talent and character, if such a person can enter high school, he will definitely be the pillar of Datang in the future.

"Thank you Brother Dongming for your kindness, I will consider it in the future!" Brother You Shao nodded with a smile when he heard this, but his answer made Brother Dongming sigh secretly, because he knew that although the other party's words were like this, it would definitely not change his original intention, and he blamed this Brother You Shao for being too young and his self-esteem was too strong.

Brother Dongming saw that Brother You Shao was reluctant to talk about this, and just at this time, the young people at the party also gathered around, and it seemed that he was about to start the most important activity of this year's poetry club, which made him immediately excited, and pulled Brother You Shao to stand up and said: "Brother You Shao, this year's Shangyuan Poetry Conference is coming to an end, I took a look at those poems, none of them can write better than you, it is estimated that your "Yuan Xi" will definitely win the first prize!" ”

As soon as Brother Dongming's words fell, before Brother You Shao was modest, the two of them suddenly heard a rush of footsteps in the distance, and then saw two girls dressed in men's clothes, one big and one small, walking in, Ruyu's little face also had a look of pride, as if they didn't take the scholars present in their eyes at all.
