At the end of January, Tang Hai went to the academy to pick up Song Tian.

After the beginning of the year, all over the country moved into Beijing, and Song Tian didn't know in the academy that the whole Beijing had become very lively.

He entered the city in a carriage, slower than he walked.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still things in the car, he would have wanted to abandon the car and walk.

At night, the carriage finally came to the gate of the house.

Song Tian got out of the car and happened to meet Tong Liangyu who had returned from outside.

Tong Liangyu entered Beijing with them at the beginning, and has been living in the house since then.

She didn't have a letter of recommendation and couldn't go to the academy, so Ah Xiu inquired and found a private school run by an old editor and asked Tong Liangyu to go over to study.

When the two met, they had to greet each other, and then they talked about reading and the next exam.

Song Tian entered the door, and Chang and Ah Xiu, who got the news, also came out to pick him up.

In the evening, several people got together for a reunion dinner.

After eating, Song Er didn't let them go, and let the two children show off their learning results.

Although he has now been left behind by his two children, he can still distinguish between good and bad.

This chat is very late again.

The next day, Song Ercai took the two out to apply for the exam, and then he went to the embroidery building on a business trip, and Song Tian and Tong Liangyu went to the Liangzhou Hall in Beijing together.

It's only been half a month, and it stands to reason that Huke and they should have arrived.

Beijing is not like other places, trying to find people is like looking for a needle in the sea, only these specific places can find some connections.

The Liangzhou Hall is said to be a guild hall, but it is actually a large teahouse, and the people who come in and out are basically from Liangzhou, especially during this kind of scientific expedition, it is quite crowded and lively.

Song Tian went in and looked around, and really found an acquaintance, Ji Ying.

"Brother Song!"

Ji Ying was also very happy to see him, and several people sat at the table and chatted, Song Tian knew that he had been here for half a month.

Ji Ying is cautious and conscientious, and after the college holiday at the end of the year, he and Pang Zimo found a car and set off, and both of them were on the road this year.

Hu Ke had arrived not long ago, and they had already met at the guild hall, and were currently staying at an inn not far away.

This time, all parties in Beijing spent a lot of money, and they all came alone, and they did not have relatives accompanying them.

A few people chatted in the hall, and then went to the inn to find Hu Ke and Pang Zimo.

The inn was a short walk away, Song Tian went in to take a look, and met several familiar faces, and the people who wanted to come to live here were all candidates from Liangzhou Mansion.

Coming here, the three of them squeezed into a room.

Hu Ke thought that he didn't sleep well last night and was catching up on sleep, while Pang Zimo was holding a book and reading.

Seeing Song Tian and the two of them were very happy, they made an appointment to go to a nearby restaurant for dinner at noon.

This restaurant is also opened by people from Liangzhou, and the merchants who come in and out of Liangzhou follow up on the examination in Beijing.

Jingzhong is not as good as Liangzhou, and the people who are not familiar with the place, the same townspeople, the same teachers, and the same subjects began to unite inexplicably.

Whether you recognize it or not, as long as you speak a local accent, you can't help but say hello and talk about the relationship.

At this point, the various factions began to be divided into various factions, and the various factions basically moved around the hall, and everyone united to exchange all kinds of gossip, even if there were festivals in the past, they all began to become tolerant at this time.

Of course, this is only limited to small festivals, how can there be any hatred casually.

It's like Song Tian and Na Tian Mao.

Tian Mao must have come to try this time, and it happened that he met in the restaurant.

The group went in, and Tian Mao came out with two people.

Everyone looked at each other very well.

"Stay at our inn too."

Waiting for them to leave, Hu Ke said softly.

"Then you should be careful."

Tian Mao's person is insidious, and it is not a good thing to get together with them.

"Don't worry, I'm not to be messed with."

Hu Ke has never been afraid of anyone since he was a child.

"Villains are hard to guard."

Several people sat down, and when the food was served, Song Tian suddenly remembered that Jiang Boyuan was coming, and hurriedly asked Tang Hai, who was accompanying him, to go to the Changning Marquis Mansion to deliver a letter.

When everyone heard that Jiang Boyuan was actually the third son of the Marquis of Changning's mansion, they were so shocked that their jaws almost fell.

Fortunately, the relationship in the school hall was okay at the beginning, and the important thing is that I didn't offend that master.

After eating, Song Tian and Tong Liangyu went to the inn again, and everyone closed the door and began to analyze the questions raised by the master and the dean.

At this time, it is especially important to have a few like-minded classmates, after all, there are also rules for the number of people who will try, and you will have no one else, for the sake of that place, who will take out the private collection, isn't that stupid?

But if you have acquaintances and friends, it is different, you can't go on alone as an official, and someone who supports each other is capital.

The group talked about the question until the evening, and Jiang Boyuan hurriedly ran over.

He was not at home during the day, and only when he went back did he receive a letter from Song Tian to him.

The former little boys have all grown up, and Jiang Boyuan still recognized a few people.

"Brother Pang, the longer you get, the more likable you become."

Look at this baby face, this bright peach blossom eyes, if you accidentally show it to those arrogant and domineering noblewomen, you may not be able to show it to anyone.

"Brother Hu is okay." There is a little bit of ruffian in the yin owl, and he is an official.

"Brother Ji hasn't changed much, after all, you were sixteen or seventeen when I left. By the way, are you married? ”

Ji Ying shook his head.

"It's just that I didn't get married, if I can get a jinshi this time, I can't say who can become a fast son-in-law of Chenglong."

Ji Ying's face flushed when she heard this, "Let's talk about something serious, I haven't passed the test yet, it's hard to say whether I can be a tribute or not, and the Jinshi is too far away." ”

"I'm not serious. I don't have any questions here, but now that you're here, it's worth the trip. It doesn't matter if you can't get into the jinshi, your posture is upright, pay more attention to your words and deeds when you walk outside, don't look at the excitement, don't get together, and don't offend people, this is the capital, and those servants can't touch the subordinates. ”

"The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, I've heard this sentence said. In short, it's not something you can touch. ”

Every year in the scientific examination, the person who enters Beijing will have more or less something, and he will be injured or unable to conduct the scientific examination, and the unlucky dead are not unsuccessful.

Looking at the prosperity, it is not very peaceful.

At first, they were still joking, but the more they talked about it, the more serious they became, and several people listened silently and nodded slightly.

"By the way, there's one more thing. Be careful when handing over the post, don't cast a wide net. If you really admire whoever you want, you can post it, so you don't have to be slapped left and right. ”

Now everyone is a child, even if they will try to fail, they will have the opportunity to become an official in the court, but this opportunity is not immediate, you have to wait.

When there is a shortage, it may fall on your head.

It's hard to say how long it will take, three or five years, maybe longer.

But if you can get the blue eyes of everyone and happen to be recommended by someone, that's an opportunity.
