It's the middle of September now, and it's time for Zhang Xun to calculate the time and leave for the capital Qufu, after all, his father-in-law is interested in the position of the city lord, and he will definitely help from the side. Moreover, Zhang Xun now has a humanistic degree in front of the saint, so he does not have to participate in the township examination and the government examination, and can directly participate in the hospital examination. The college examination was naturally held in the examination institute located in the inner city of Qufu, and the plan made when he first entered the outer city of Laiwu was to enter the inner city of Laiwu, which was not in line with the current situation. Zhang Xun thought that since he was going to Qufu now, he would simply settle down there first. This is not a trivial matter, Zhang Xun took Xin Lan and Wen Xin to He Mansion in the evening, ready to ask his father-in-law's opinion.

In the study of the head of the He family, Zhang Xun told his father-in-law his thoughts, and the head of the He family thought for a while and said: "Yes, I fully support you, my second brother Wen Tao, my name is Xinlan, and he has developed in the past." Zhang Xun said: "Okay, my son-in-law will leave for Qufu early tomorrow morning, and I will send someone to inform you in time as soon as there is news." The head of the He family said: "You still have to put your main experience in the imperial examination, try your best to improve your rank, wealth needs to be guarded by strength." Zhang Xun replied: "The son-in-law understands that the revitalization of Wendao is the pursuit of the son-in-law's life. It wasn't too early, so the son-in-law went back to prepare. The head of the He family nodded and said, "Okay, then I won't keep you." Zhang Xun walked out of the study, came to the courtyard and saw Xin Lan and Wen Xin were also there, knowing that Xin Lan and Wen Xin had finished talking to her mother-in-law and Han Bo respectively about following her to Qufu, so they went back to Zhang's mansion together to sort out their belongings and prepare for a long journey.

The next morning, Zhang Xun and his entourage of five got into the carriage, and the coachman drove the carriage out of the west gate and galloped in the direction of Qufu. In the carriage, among the four girls, Xin Lan is everyone's lady after all, Wen Xin is the top brand that Yunxiang Pavilion has been cultivating for many years, and the two girls sit and chat together. And Bihe and Yuchan were born in poor families, and they were sold into servants, although Xinlan and Wen Xin treated them very well, and they usually had outsiders around, so there was still a difference between respect and inferiority. Now out of Laiwu City, and in the carriage, the two women looked at the changing scenery outside the window, very excited, after all, they had never been out of the city before, and they didn't know the world outside the city, so they were naturally very curious.

The road was very smooth, two hours came to the gate of Donghua Gate in the outer city of Qufu, Qufu is not as good as Laiwu, after all, it is the capital of a country, and the inventory at the city gate is still very strict. Zhang Xun got out of the carriage, saw that there was a simple wooden fence on the avenue in the middle of the city gate, and there were two city guards, one fat and one thin, standing next to him, so he stepped forward, and just about to open his mouth to reveal his identity, the fat city guard came up and shouted viciously: "You country boy, why do you not understand the rules so much? Your fat uncle put his words here today, if you don't take two thousand taels out today, you kid can't get in. "Zhang Xun didn't know at this time that the city guard was born when he saw him, and the carriage he was sitting in was not bad, this was to slaughter himself. Zhang Xun didn't expect that he just didn't like to wear the customized clothes of the saint in front of the people all day long, as if he loved to show off, so he was regarded as a "fat sheep" by others. Zhang Xun smiled angrily and said, "I also put my words away, not only will you not get the money today, but you will also be imprisoned." After speaking, he went back to the carriage and took the four treasures of the study, and thought to himself, "Isn't there a peerless work that can be revealed?" Well, just "Linjiang Immortals, Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water"! Who wants to be a fan of the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, and the poem Yang Shen in the Ming Dynasty is indeed a classic. ”

Zhang Xun opened his mouth and sang: "The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes." Success or failure turns empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet. How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. (Singing while writing, and writing after singing) After singing, there is a huge literary qi entering the body, washing the literary heart. This time it was in Qufu, the hometown of Kong Sheng. The Temple of Literature here is known as the Holy Temple by the people of the world, so this time the manifestation is faster and the movement is greater. After the appearance of the holy temple, the sky once again came to the holy voice: "Zhang Xun, the saint before the lifter, is talented and intelligent, and after a month, he will make a peerless word "Linjiang Immortal, Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water", engraved on the text tablet, for the world to learn. "As soon as the holy voice came out, the whole world was shocked. You must know that in the past, the lowest people who could engrave their works on the inscription were half-saints.

The fat city guard had already realized that something was wrong when Zhang Xun sang the first sentence, but how could he stop it; Not to mention him, even the great Confucians can't prevent the birth of a peerless work. Now I know that I was in front of the embarrassed saint just now, Zhang Xunfat Chengwei was completely stupid, and his best ending was to spend the rest of his life in prison. When Zhang Xun sang the first sentence, the thin city guard secretly said "not good" in his heart, so he immediately ran to the commander of the Donghua Gate city guard to report the experience, just after the report, the holy voice came out, and the commander didn't know how big the matter was, and he stepped forward angrily with a big mouth, and saw that the thin city guard became a pig's head. After calling two henchmen to take care of the thin city guard, he immediately rushed to Donghua Gate.

Zhang Xun knew that someone would come to Donghuamen to look for him soon, so he got into the carriage and waited. The commander ran all the way to the carriage, and just as he was about to apologize, Zhang Xun said: "You are the person in charge of this Donghua Gate! I only promise that I will not embarrass you, and you will take care of the rest." ”

After hearing the holy sound, the king and the dean of the Hanlin Academy, Hu Changshun, immediately sent Lord Qin and Fu and Chen to Donghuamen to pick up Zhang Xun. Not long after the commander left, Zhang Xun saw Lord Qin and Fu and Chen again. The gate of the city is not a place to catch up with the past, and it is noon at this moment, Lord Qin said to Zhang Xun: "Take the official's carriage, let's go into the city to the Juewei Building to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you!" Zhang Xun said: "Xiaosheng has been married on the twenty-eighth of the last month, and my family is sitting in the carriage behind. It was still Lord Qin, you and Fu and Chen's carriage that took the first step, and Xiao Sheng arrived later. ”

Jueweilou is the largest restaurant in Qufu City, with a beautiful environment, elegant decoration, and most importantly, a rich variety of dishes here, all of which are delicious. The signboard of the Juewei Building was inscribed by the king last year, and naturally the powerful and famous people in Qufu City are willing to come here to consume. The four carriages soon arrived in front of the Juewei Building, and everyone got out of the car. Lord Qin, Fu and Chen, the two Hanlins, saw the four daughters and said to Zhang Xun: "You kid is so blessed, you hug left and right, and they are all beauties!" He Xinlan and Zhong Wenxin saluted Lord Qin and Fu and Chen Hanlin one after the other at this time. Lord Qin walked in the front, and the group walked into this Juewei Building. The running hall of the Juewei Building naturally knew Lord Qin, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, so he greeted him and said: "Lord Qin comes to the small shop, let the small shop shine!" Lord Qin waved his hand and said: "Every time the official comes to this Juewei Building, you say so, okay, the official wants to be here to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the guests who come from afar, you go and arrange a table of banquets to listen to the Tao courtyard" and then took everyone to the table in the Tingtao courtyard, sat down and waited for the banquet to come up.

That running hall is a shrewd person, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do the job of running the hall of this Juewei Building. Thinking of the "Holy Voice" just now, he immediately went to the shopkeeper and said: "The little one thinks that the young scholar should be the one who is looking for the son, and the middle-aged man dressed as the two scribes must be the Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy." As soon as the shopkeeper thought that the analysis of this running hall was indeed reasonable, he came to the back kitchen and instructed the chef to show his greatest ability to make the dishes of this banquet, and he must satisfy the guests.

In the small courtyard of Tingtao, Lord Qin, Fu and Chen, naturally asked about the peerless lyrics "Linjiang Immortals, Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" at this time. Zhang Xun told him about his previous encounter with being embarrassed by the fat city guard at the gate of Donghua and said: "Xiao Sheng was angry at the time, and he didn't want to go back and put on the clothes of the saint to suppress people with his literary position, so he happened to revisit the more than 3,000-year history of the Wenchang Continent in the past half a month, and he had some understanding, so he sang it casually. Lord Qin, Fu and Chen, thought in their hearts, "Nima, if you don't agree with each other, you will make peerless words, do you want to be so awesome, how can you embarrass yourself who thinks you are superior in literature? Fortunately, I still have a little friendship with this demon boy, and I am a friend but not an enemy, otherwise I would have a headache. ”

A table of sumptuous wine and food came up, and the wine was naturally the most well-known "Confucian Banquet" wine in Qufu, which is said to have been brewed by Confucius's grandson Si at the earliest, and later the recipe was spread among the people. The dishes are the famous dishes carefully prepared by the chef of this Juewei Building, and they are naturally delicious. A table of people drank good wine, ate good food, and talked happily. Zhang Xun mentioned that he wanted to settle down in Qufu and prepare for the exam, Lord Qin said: "This is easy to do, you have made peerless words twice, adding glory to the Lu Kingdom, and my king has decreed to give you a set of mansions." And let me take you into the palace tomorrow morning. Zhang Xun knew that this was an olive branch handed to him by the imperial court, after all, the imperial court and the Confucian Temple are two lines, and the two forces must try their best to fight for real talents. So he replied: "My king cares about the country and the society, and he is still worried about Xiaosheng's daily life, and Xiaosheng is afraid. Xiaosheng will do his best to serve the country, share the worries of the king, and live up to the love of my king. This reception banquet is over, and Lord Qin, Fu and Chen, each go back to their lives.

Zhang Xun and the four daughters came to Qufu City for the first time, and they had nothing to do, and they walked along the streets to experience the prosperity of the capital. The coachman drove the carriage to the Longsheng Inn, the inn with the best facilities in Qufu City, and after parking the carriage, he went to the counter to book a small courtyard. At dusk, Zhang Xun and the four daughters, who had been shopping in the city for a full afternoon, came to the Longsheng Inn, and after returning to the main room of the small courtyard to rest for a while, the coachman brought the dinner he bought. While eating, Zhang Xun told the four girls about their arrangements for the next few days, and after finishing the meal, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

At four o'clock in the morning of the second day, Zhang Xun came to the gate of the Qin Mansion, and when the Lord Qin came out, they got into the carriage together, and the coachman of the Qin Mansion drove to the palace. In the carriage, Zhang Xun took out a long box containing calligraphy and painting scrolls and handed it to Lord Qin and said: "Xiaosheng has troubled Lord Qin several times, and the love of adults is beyond retribution. Lord Qin knew that Zhang Xun must have something to ask him for help, but now is not the time to talk about things, so he said: "Then the official will accept it with shame, and if you have anything in the future, just come to me." At this time, the carriage arrived at the middle gate of the royal city, and naturally the palace guards came to search, and the guards saw that it was Lord Qin, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Xungongzi, the holy man, and said: "Lord Qin, Zhang Gongzi, where the duties are located, please give them a convenience." Lord Qin and Zhang Xun nodded and said, "It's okay, you can check how you want." The Praetorian guard did his business, and waved his hand to let his men open the gate and let them go. When they arrived at the square in front of the palace, Lord Qin and Zhang Xun got off the car and stepped up the steps to the Qinzheng Hall (the main hall of the palace, that is, the place of the court meeting, the Jinluan Hall called by the people. Walk. When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Lord Qin said: "Zhang Xun, you wait here for a while, this official will go in first to participate in the early dynasty." Zhang Xun said: "Adults, please poop, Xiaosheng is waiting here." ”
