"Heavenly Creations?" Lin Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked in an unbelievable tone, "Do you mean to say that this Song Yingxing is actually sitting in "Heavenly Creations", right?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xiao Mu nodded and replied, "I remember when I was studying history in middle school, I always couldn't tell the difference between the two books "Mengxi Writings" and "Tiangong Kaiwu" and their authors, and now "Mengxi Bi Tan" can already be seen in the time and space of the Ming Dynasty, which has confirmed that it is the work of Shen Kuo of the Song Dynasty, so the author of "Tiangong Kaiwu" can only be Song Yingxing. ”

"Well, I didn't expect you to have more time than I knew." Lin Yi replied, obviously she was a little surprised that Xiao Mu was able to discover this important information independently, in fact, after Xiao Mu explained his thoughts, Lin Yi also vaguely recalled that she seemed to have learned similar things in middle school, but she didn't deliberately memorize it at the time, so until now, she was a little unsure.

"Of course, what I remember may not be completely correct, and there may be a mistake." Xiao Mu then said "modest", or not necessarily modest, but he was really not completely sure, so Xiao Mu then proposed a verification plan, "We might as well find a time to go to Wang Jingyuan's house to verify it in person, if this Song Yingxing is really the author of "Heavenly Creation", then he must have some understanding of some scientific knowledge." ”

"Not bad." Hearing that he was going out of the palace to Wang Jingyuan's house to verify it, Lin Yi naturally couldn't disagree, "We can casually talk about some scientific topics, if he doesn't know anything about some basic scientific issues, then it can be determined that he is not the author of "Heavenly Creation" at all, but just a character with a duplicate name or something." ”

"And if he can answer fluently, and even ask some scientific questions that even you and I don't understand, then you can basically conclude that my memory is not wrong, after all, in the time and space of the Ming Dynasty, there are very few people who are interested in science and technology, let alone people with the same name." Xiao Mu nodded and added further.

It may be out of the consideration of letting the majority of candidates have a good Mid-Autumn Festival, although the results of the examination have been produced before the festival, but they have not been announced on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

But this approach actually did not achieve any good results, because the results of the examination were not announced for a day, and the majority of candidates were not at peace for a day, worrying all day long about whether they could pass the exam.

For example, the Song Yingxing brothers, who lived at Wang Jingyuan's house, are the best example, although today is a happy day, everyone's faces are full of excitement - Zhao Qizhi and other children are even more so, although Feng has prepared a table of delicious meals, but as a person waiting for the results of the examination, the Song Yingxing brothers are undoubtedly a little absent-minded.

And this kind of absent-mindedness is inadvertent, of course, they themselves want to put aside fame and fortune to enjoy the atmosphere of the festival and feel the mood of admiring the moon, but the result is quite different from what they hoped, because the more they don't want to think about the results of the exam, the more they can't help but produce "What will happen if I pass the exam?" "What should I do if I don't pass the test?" "What if I pass the exam and my brother doesn't? "What should I say if my brother passed the exam and I didn't pass the exam? Something like that.

After all, in the time and space of the Ming Dynasty, the asymmetry of information and the lag of news are much more serious than those of Xiao Mu's later society, so although Xiao Mu and Lin Yi have long known that Song Yingxing's brothers did not pass the exam, and have even begun to study the question of whether Song Yingxing is the author of "Heavenly Creation", and as the protagonist of this matter, that is, Song Yingxing himself, is still anxious about his exam results.

However, it is foreseeable that the anxiety of the Song Yingxing brothers will undoubtedly not last too long, and the second day after the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, that is, early in the morning of August 16, the imperial court will announce the results of the examination of the first year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.

……

It can be said that all the officials in the country are thinking about giving the emperor some good news, or sending some rare treasures and other things, so as to leave a good impression in the emperor's heart, which will help him to become an official in the future.

Of course, the current Ming Dynasty is in an extremely severe period, the big and small disasters in various places are continuous, for the officials of the imperial court, not to say that the emperor reported good news, can try not to do anything, in the Mid-Autumn Festival on the day of the emperor's mood is already thankful, as for what "auspicious from the sky", "the omen of Zhongxing" these things are naturally not so easy to appear, and the officials of Qin Tianjian look at the stars every night and see some such as "crape myrtle dim", "disasters everywhere" these signs of the country's demiseOf course, there is no way to deceive the emperor by saying that it is auspicious - of course, the officials of the Qin Tianjian do not understand the fact that their current emperor has no interest in astrology, divination, and the like.

Even in such a grim period, there are always lucky officials, such as Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian in the Ming Dynasty, is one of them.

On the evening of August 15, Xiao Mu and Lin Yi tasted moon cakes with Empress Zhang, Tian Yuan's second concubine and others, and admired the moon together, Wang Chengen hurried over with a happy face, and Xiao Mu could clearly see that Wang Chengen was holding a piece of music in his hand.

Soon Xiao Mu saw the content of the music sent by Wang Chengen, and then sighed, "I didn't expect Xiong Wencan's efficiency to be so high." ”
