Although Sister Chang did not pass the imperial examination, she won the imperial examination, but she was one of the beneficiaries of this imperial examination.

Song Xian is the first name Huiyuan today, and after passing the palace test another day, he may be the champion of the Yuangong, but no matter how high he stands, he was once a defeated general under her sister Chang, and this identity cannot be torn off no matter what.

The greater his fame, the more famous his sister Chang will be.

According to this, this Song Xian worked hard for the imperial examination, but he can be regarded as working hard for Sister Chang's reputation.

Although Sister Chang's reputation now overshadows him, who would have too much prestige?

I never thought that the game of chess in the past was not played tightly, and the "stamina" was so great.

Wu Chunbai jokingly thought that when she took the female envoy through the lobby and went to the "Bamboo Courtyard" where she often met with Yao Xia and them, she only heard the noise of people in front of her, and a group of people in long robes were walking towards a young literati.

“…… Congratulations to Brother Tan Xian, you finally don't have to endure the scorching heat and cold winter for another three years! ”

"Rejoice and rejoice! But what we should congratulate the most is clarity! ”

"Exactly...... Brother Song is happy today! ”

Clear?

Clarity is the meaning of distinction, distinction, and manifestation.

When Wu Chunbai heard it in his ears, he knew that this was Song Xianzhi's words, and subconsciously looked ahead.

There were more than ten people in that group, some of them were dressed in literati shirts, some were dressed as prisoners of the country, and the young people who were surrounded by them had thoughtful eyebrows, although there was also joy between their eyebrows, but they did not necessarily feel proud.

There were more people than him who were excited, they talked while walking, and they didn't know how to see the road, and almost bumped into Wu Chunbai.

Song Xian saw someone coming in front of him, and raised his hand to stop his friends and classmates behind him in time.

The first few people smiled and raised their hands to apologize to Wu Chunbai, and people were in good spirits on happy occasions, and the apologies were also with a smile.

Song Xian is a son from other places, and there is no house in Beijing, and he has been living in the Guozi Prison Prison Student School before that.

He was introverted, he didn't like to be exposed, he didn't go to see the list in person, it was Tan Li and others who stayed at the place where the apricot list was posted early, and as soon as they got the results, they flew to find Song Xian.

Running too quickly on the road, Tan Lixu, who was also on the list, was high, and he didn't realize that he had lost his purse, and when he ran outside the Lingyin Pavilion, Tan Li realized that his waist was empty, and after hesitating again and again, he had to be persuaded by his friends before he endured the pain and said-okay, today is a big joy, only to be happy with the people of Beijing.

It's just that the strength of this Tongxi is destined to be limited, after all, there are only two copper plates in his purse.

Tan Li's friend, who is over forty years old, has finally reached high school today, although this person is the oldest among a group of literati at this time, the ecstatic color is also the most exposed, it is precisely because he has personally experienced the pain of being repeatedly dumped by the scholar clan before, so that he understands how difficult it is to obtain this Jinshi body now.

The candidates who stayed with them at the place where the list was released, but unfortunately failed to follow the list, were depressed and dispersed, and did not follow them again, one is shameless, the other is a gap in their hearts, they know that they can't share the joy of others well with a normal heart, and they don't want to sweep away the interest of others to celebrate, so it is better to clean up their minds first.

Because of this, those who failed to make the list only let Tan Li and the others congratulate Song Xian on their behalf.

At this moment, except for Song Xian and the three in high school, most of the rest are Guozi prison students, or they have not yet made a name for themselves, or they do not plan to enter the imperial examination, so at this time, those who are in the middle of the list do not have to hide their joy for the sake of worrying about those who fall off the list.

Facing the feeling of pride in the spring breeze, Wu Chunbai smiled slightly and blessed them, and said, "Congratulations to all of you on this high school." ”

Tan Li and the others didn't expect that the girl who was almost bumped into by them would open her mouth to congratulate, so they all looked over at this moment.

The other party is wearing a azure spring shirt, a moon-white skirt, the bun is combed neatly and neatly, and a pair of orchid hairpins are on it, the demeanor is straight and generous, and there is a decent smile on the beautiful face.

His dress is simple but not simple, and the female envoy behind him is also well-mannered, and at first sight, he knows that he is from a rich and scholarly family, and looking at the stretch of his body, it is by no means an ordinary lady who is bound in the high pavilion all day long.

Song Xian didn't look directly at the other party until the woman's voice sounded again, mentioning him alone.

"I have heard of the name of Song Huiyuan, and today he is the top of the apricot list, and he really has the capital of the champion of the emperor's list." The voice said with a smile: "The palace test is imminent, I hope that in the coming day, I can see Song Huiyuan and the champion horse, and see all the Chang'an flowers." ”

Song Xian raised his eyes and looked at those extremely sincere eyes.

That sincerity made him slightly stunned, he had never known this girl.

He quickly retracted his gaze and subconsciously raised his hand to thank him: "Borrow auspicious words." ”

After Wu Chun bowed his head with a white chin and bowed, he smiled and led the female envoy away.

“…… That's the daughter of Wu Siqing of Taichang Temple, and her grandfather is Mr. Wu! A famous talented girl, a girl from the Wu family! A member of the Plum Hunting Club lowered his voice.

"I also remember, I once saw her and Chang Niangzi go in and out of this place together!"

This latter sentence attracted Song Xian's attention even more.

Chang Niangzi's friend?

He looked back at the back of the girl who was gone.

The elder jinshi stroked his beard and said meaningfully: "This little girl just specially congratulated Mingxi for the top student in high school, shouldn't it be ......?"

Immediately, a prisoner raised his hand with bright eyes: "I know, catch a son-in-law under the list!" ”

"Yes, yes, Brother Song is at the top of the list, out of the gate of this music hall, I don't know how many dignitaries and dignitaries in the family are waiting for the girl to be married!"

"This girl from the Wu family is a first-class talented girl, speaking of which, she is ...... with Brother Song."

Song Xian frowned slightly, and stopped his classmates from continuing to speak: "Don't talk nonsense, and slander the reputation of people's daughters." ”

Before he was in high school, he had some prestige among his classmates, and the Plum Hunting Society he formed was known as the First Poetry Society of Guozijian, so his words have always had weight, let alone at this time.

The students and literati all laughed and stopped.

"No......" Tan Li, who thought for a moment, said: "In my opinion, it doesn't look like a son-in-law under the list, but it looks like a ......."

What is it like?

And all the people looked at him.

"It can be seen that she is really looking forward to Brother Song's high school champion......" Tan Li whispered: "Probably because Brother Song is more and more glorious, he will also add glory to Chang Niangzi, after all, Brother Song was in this Lingyin Pavilion before, and everyone knows that he was defeated by Chang Niangzi......

Song Xian's face froze: "......"

At first glance, it sounded outrageous, but after thinking about it, it felt very reasonable.

In this reasonableness, there is a sense of two paradoxical lack of morality.

The same feeling is felt in the minds of others.

After saying this, how do you think that Brother Song worked hard for the imperial examination, but at the same time he glorified the lintel of Chang Niangzi?

You must know that this should be a glory that can only be enjoyed by being a high-ranking person...... In other words, Chang Niangzi enjoyed the treatment of being a high-ranking person!

This conclusion silenced everyone for a moment.

It doesn't matter what you think in your heart, someone wants to take the opportunity to show the camp, so they hurriedly ask: "...... Okay, this girl of the Wu family, I thought she was sincerely congratulating Brother Song, but I didn't expect to have such thoughts! In the future, I will never read her poems again! ”

Tan Li said with a smile: "You can't say that, this kind of thing can be regarded as a win-win situation." ”

Everyone: "......"

Such a win-win approach is unheard of.

A literati coughed lightly and reminded Tan Li: "On the day of great joy, don't mention old things more......

Who would want to hear someone talk about that humiliating defeat in the past in their glorious days?

Tan Li smiled disapprerovingly.

As far as he knew, Song Xian came here today, not only to wait for the results of the apricot list, but also to listen to the news of Chang Niangzi, no, General Ning Yuan.

"It doesn't matter, this old incident should be mentioned again and again today." Song Xian's tone was not half displeased, and it could be seen that he was not saying the opposite, or self-irony.

Everyone exchanged glances curiously, but only Tan Li smiled.

After a few more steps, Song Xian turned his head and looked at the stone table quietly placed under a ginkgo tree not far away.

He seemed to see the scene when he played against Chang Suining here last year.

At this time, he looked from the perspective of a bystander, and what he saw was his own arrogance, narrow-mindedness, prejudice, and deep down his inferiority conceit.

All these things made his whole person in contradiction and tension, and because of this, he was blinded and self-contained.

Looking back, he lost that day inevitably, and he lost very well.

This conclusion was not reached in a day or two, he had reviewed the game again and again, especially whenever he heard the news about her back to Jingshi.

In the review again and again, he became more and more aware of the kind of heart and kindness of the person who won him in the first place.

He gradually realized that the chess game that day was not even a game, just because of the disparity between the two sides, he should not have sat in the same place and played such a game of chess.

And with the news of her coming back, it just confirmed what he felt in the chess game, she was supposed to soar in the sky, she had the feathers that soared to 90,000 miles, before that, all she lacked was the wind to take advantage of.

In contrast, he thought he was superior to her and looked down on her with prejudice, which was ridiculous.

And in retrospect, she never really targeted him, she never got angry at his shallowness and rudeness, and in that chess game, she could have won him more easily and made him lose face, but she didn't.

She is very roundabout, and there is a softness in it.

She even suggested that she should play two more games with him, and after a long time, he believed that if there were two more games, she would let him win one game to preserve his dignity.

But he had been deterred by her anger in the chess game, and he was still a little cautious, suspecting that she was going to lose his face again and again, so he did not dare to play against her again.

On the eve of the exam, he reverted to that game again.

That time, he thought a lot, including her actions in the Confucian Temple, so he inexplicably felt the breath of another person between the black and white chess pieces.

The man who saved him when he was young has saved many people in the world.

Although the two are a man and a woman, they have passed away for a lifetime, but both of them have given him the same feeling - they are strong and benevolent, and they do not have to compete with the grass and trees for spring, standing on a high place, but not to override others, but to pity all things in this heaven and earth.

At that moment, he looked at the chessboard under the moon, suddenly became enlightened, felt the breath of heaven and earth surging in silence, and his heart resonated with him, and finally saw the majestic qi that can truly last forever in the world throughout the ages.

The insignificance of the prophet himself shows the vastness of the world.

He needed to lose in his life.

After losing to the other party that day, he should have fulfilled his promise to call a teacher, and if he lost to her, he would not be ashamed at all, and he was not fooled by her.

On that day, he felt that he couldn't get off the stage, but she said: [Only those who solve doubts with others can be teachers.] If Song Juren thinks that my words are useful for solving doubts, if you have the heart to worship the teacher in the future, it is not too late to worship again. 】

He should worship.

She is a good teacher.

The last test question of this examination is a strategy theory, and it is personally written by Mrs. Chu, who has always been strict.

The wind of strategy, in addition to learning, is more impressive, and the heart is slightly shaken and deviated, and the pen is in the opposite direction.

If he were to be the one who thought so much about himself in the past that he was twisted, he might be in danger of falling off the list this time, and even if he was lucky enough to win, he would not be able to win the first place.

Just like the poems and articles he wrote before, he also had the intention to borrow Qiao's hand to give advice and comment on behalf of Mrs. Chu, but there has been no response.

But this time, he is the first name set by Taifu himself.

The difference is so great that it is impossible for him to have an epiphany.

He knew better than anyone where the epiphany came from.

It was he who wanted to thank her, not her to touch his light.

In addition, this victory in Bianshui is a miracle victory that everyone has never expected, a miracle victory and a miracle genius, her name must spread all over the world, since then, who in the world dares not to know you?

Why do such figures need to borrow the name of Song Xian?

She had won such a beautiful victory, and he had another battle to fight.

They each have their own battlefields, and although he is small, he should do his best.

Someday, when we see each other again, he will apologize first and then thank you.

……

In the evening, the new science and technology scholars on the list gathered in the Dengtai Building, drank fine wine, and made poems of ambition, with unlimited scenery and high spirits.

After three rounds of wine, Meng Lie rarely came forward in person, invited the head of the Hui Yuan to leave a poem, hanging in the building, if Hui Yuan is willing to appreciate the light, today he Meng Lie will be the east.

Everyone surrounded Song Xian and asked him to compose a poem - this is a glorious thing, and it can avoid a large amount of wine and silver!

Song Xian couldn't refuse, so he could only write a poem on the spot, which attracted countless praises.

These praises are not just out of flattery, or because they drank wine, in their eyes Song Juren, who has always been calm and introverted, wrote this poem with the great ambition of the outside, such as a thousand armies have been sent out, and the rivers are rushing.

Meng Lie was also amazed, although he didn't know how to compose poetry, but he had eyes, otherwise how could His Royal Highness choose him alone and let him be the shopkeeper of the restaurant?

Meng Lie could see from the reactions of everyone that this was a good poem, and it would surely attract him a lot of business, so he immediately let people hang it in the building.

"Wait—"

When the two guys were hanging on the height, they overheard Song Xian speaking by the fence.

Meng Lie smiled and asked, "Song Huiyuan, but what's wrong?" ”

Song Xian looked at the picture of the mountains and forests and tigers that was as high as the position in the hands of the guys, and said sincerely: "Please make Song Mou's clumsy work and hang it lower, it's hard work." ”

……

As early as this morning, the city has ordered the curfew to be temporarily lifted, and the upper and lower days of the festival are celebrated.

The curfew was lifted to celebrate the unveiling of the list, which had never been seen in previous years, and the number of people on the apricot list, seven out of ten of them were from a poor family, and they had never been seen before.

This is the emperor's determination to reuse the cold door, and this determination will eventually be implemented and effective, this big congratulations, is the imperial power in the battle with the nobles in the temporary victory of the prestige.

In addition, Xu Zhengye is dead, and his head will soon be presented to the emperor, as far as the emperor is concerned, it is really a double happiness recently, and it should be congratulated, one is to demonstrate in the posture of the winner, and the other is to give the people a sign of gradual stability, and to calm the hearts of the people who have been shaken recently.

As for whether everything is really as stable and prosperous as it seems, most people can't judge, just like these people in Beijing who are cheering and celebrating at this moment, they have never had the ability to jump out of this brightly lit and prosperous place to see farther away.

……

The next day, Song Xian and other Jinshi who had been taught in Guozi Prison returned to Guozi Prison and thanked their teacher and Qiao sacrificed wine.

Song Xian and others went to Qiao's liquor residence, drank tea and talked in the outer hall, and many prisoners also came to join in the fun and be happy, which was very lively for a while.

At noon, Qiao Sai Wine prepared a little thin wine and fatty fish, plus the bacon and fruits brought by Song Xian and them, to make a table of dishes, and teachers and students sat and drank together.

Qiao Yumian ate alone in her courtyard, took advantage of the spring light, took the female envoy out for a walk, and walked to the lotus pond, so she simply sat down on the stone by the pond to bask in the sun.

In the afternoon, the spring sun is warm, and there seems to be a breath of lotus leaves stretching in the spring water, and Qiao Yumian, whose eyes are covered with soft yarn, feels the brighter and brighter world, and feels that she is also reviving with this world.

She thought of the news about Ning Ning that she heard two days ago today, and she was in a good mood for a while, so she told the female envoy: "Xiaoqiu, you go and get some fruit wine, take some more fruits, and we will also celebrate one or two." ”

Congratulations to Ningning.

Xiaoqiu saw that her mood was becoming brighter and brighter, and she was also very happy, so she responded with a smile at the moment, said a few words, and went back to get the fruit wine.

In a moment, Qiao Yumian heard footsteps behind her.

She subconsciously turned her head slightly, it was very quiet, her hearing was amplified, she could hear that it was not Xiaoqiu's footsteps, but it was a little like ......

"Cui Liulang?" Qiao Yumian spoke tentatively.

4800 words of update, a little make up for yesterday's leave, today's waist is better, but sitting for a while will still be numb, recovering, slowly return to blood ~ good night!
