The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 210 Poetry
At dawn, He Shunian and the others appeared in the lobby, ready to go to the examination room together.Unexpectedly, in the middle of the walk, they ran into Huang Ming unexpectedly.

"Junior Brother Gu, it's really early for you guys! I came out of the inn and we happened to run into each other, let's watch the list together!" Huang Ming stepped forward to greet each other with Gu Chengyu and the others, and then walked talking about what he had seen and heard in the past two days .

Gu Chengyu looked at the faint sweat on Huang Ming's forehead and his slightly shortness of breath, and smiled slightly.The inn where Huang Ming lived was not on their way, but he appeared on their only way early in the morning. Such an obvious lie, but no one wanted to expose him!
Huang Ming glanced at Gu Chengyu, and saw that the other party was listening to him with a smile.Huang Ming was a little depressed. This Gu Chengyu was so young, but his words were impeccable, so it was difficult to get close to him!He took another look at Gu Wanhua who responded enthusiastically to him, and decided to start with Gu Wanhua!
Having made up his mind, he became more enthusiastic towards Gu Wanhua.

Gu Chengyu watched Huang Ming and Gu Wanhua get along with each other coldly, and he couldn't help admiring him.This Huang Ming is really persistent, in order to achieve his goal, he is very patient!In fact, Gu Chengyu didn't understand before, why did Huang Mingfei go to his Gu family?

He thought about it for the past two days, and he felt that maybe his Gu family had no foundation. If it were a big family, Huang Ming would dare to do this?Persimmons are always soft!

No matter what the thoughts of the few people in the same group were, everyone chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the examination room.

"Go in later! Look, there are too many people, anyway, you will know sooner or later!" Gu Chengyu held Ming Mo back, and this time their number increased by one more, and it was a bit hard for Ming Mo to find it alone!
"Hey! My strategy theory is not well written, and I don't know if it will be on the list!" Gu Wanhua was a little worried. Although he had learned strategy theory from Gu Chengyu and the others in the past few days in Fucheng, he still had no idea!

"Just remember the few points I taught you. You may not get a good answer, but there is still a chance of passing." Gu Wanhua was reluctant to ask him at first, and the question was only asked when everyone got together to discuss it.

Before, Gu Wanhua's strategy theory was only a half-knowledge, and it was only after a few people patiently explained it to him that he finally understood it.It seems that Gu Wanhua didn't fully understand the knowledge taught by the master, and if he didn't understand it afterwards, he didn't know how to find his classmates, let alone the master.

"I can't wait any longer, I'll go in and have a look first!" Gu Wanhua felt that waiting here would be a torment for him, so he might as well squeeze in and have a look.

"Wanhua! I'm with you!" Huang Ming saw that Gu Wanhua had squeezed into the crowd, and followed him.

Seeing this, Gu Chengyu also understood everyone's eagerness, so he had to let Mingmo squeeze.In fact, how could Gu Chengyu be exempt from vulgarity?It's not that he doesn't want to know the test results immediately.

"Huh? No.1 is Gu Chengyu? He's from Qinghe County." One of the examinees saw the name of the chief of the office at first glance.

"Oh! You mean Gu Chengyu? It's not surprising that it is him. He is the head of the case in our Qinghe County, and he is the first in five games. His poems and essays have been spread all over our Qinghe County!" one of the candidates Seeing that Gu Chengyu is No.1, I also feel honored. Gu Chengyu came from the same county as him.

"It turned out to be him? That sentence can hold thousands of miles to reflect the nostalgia of Song Dynasty. It is indeed a classic. So it was written by the chief of your county? Then I have to pay a visit. I wonder if my brother can recommend it?"

The examinee was usually a little obsessed with poetry, but now he found his name on the long case, and met someone with literary talents, so he wanted to make friends.

The two of them talked in a loud voice, and Gu Chengyu had a good ear, so of course he heard their conversation. He was not surprised to get the first place in the exam, after all, he was very confident in the theory he wrote.

It's just that he didn't expect that he still has some fame, but he only relies on poetry.

Ming Mo squeezed out from the crowd of crazy examinees, this time his clothes were all torn, and the uppers of his shoes were trampled beyond recognition.

"Congratulations, young master, for being the head of the case!" Ming Mo didn't care about tidying up his clothes, but first announced the good news to Gu Chengyu.

"Hey! Chengyu is really the chief case in the county, we are beyond our reach!" Sun Xian and others also came forward to congratulate Gu Chengyu to be the chief case in the mansion, which can be said to be within their expectations.

Gu Chengyu's theories and poems are obvious to all. The master once said that Gu Chengyu is not only a talented man, but also a born official.

"My lords have also passed, what a joy to congratulate!" Ming Mo reported the rankings of He Shunian and others. Gu Wanhua got the lowest ranking at 47th, but at least he passed.

"How can Wanhua have Mingmo's cleverness? Mingmo has come out, and Wanhua has just squeezed to the front!" Everyone passed by, and only then did he have the mood to make a joke.

"Since he has already squeezed in, let's wait for him here! Anyway, the test papers will be posted later!" Sun Xian smiled as Gu Wanhua finally squeezed to the front, found his name on the long case, and jumped there happily .

"Look, this is the head of the case!" The candidate from Qinghe County pointed to Gu Chengyu and said to the candidate next to him.There were already several candidates standing beside them, ready to visit Gu Chengyu together.

"This is Junior Brother Gu, right? I didn't expect the head of the government's case to be so young? It's really unexpected." The examinee sincerely admired that such a young person is already the head of the county and government examinations, which is really enviable. What a talent!

"We admire my junior's talent and learning, and I would like to invite my junior brother to participate in the poetry meeting held by Fucheng students in the future!" Another candidate is from Fucheng. Some of their students held a poetry meeting. Someone transcribed the brilliant poems and prose and compiled them into a collection of poems.

"I am honored to be appreciated by all the senior brothers. It's just that the senior brothers don't know that I'm not from the prefectural city. After the exam, I have to return to my hometown. If I don't come back after the delay, I'm afraid my parents at home will worry."

Gu Chengyu planned to stay in Fucheng for two days, deal with the matter of Yipinzhai, and then he was ready to go back, but he didn't have time to attend Naoshizi's poetry meeting!He has been living in Fucheng for the past few days, and he has heard a little bit about it. This is a gathering of a group of scholars who have nothing to do.

During the party, we exchanged cups and glasses, and invited everyone who has become famous in the brothel to play the piano to add to the fun.After drinking two glasses of water and wine, I impromptuly composed a few lines of poems. Afterwards, everyone praised them together. I felt that I was good at composing poems, so I asked someone to transcribe them in a collection of poems.

Gu Chengyu thinks these are really boring, why don't you go back and review the books when you have that spare time?Some people who participated in the poetry meeting talked about romance, poems and songs all day long, but they failed in the exams repeatedly. He was curious to buy the poetry collections that were handed down. There were no poems worth reciting, so there was no time to waste.

Moreover, Gu Chengyu was too young to be exposed to these things. Those students often suggested that the girls in the brothel should dance and play music for fun, imitating the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and all of them thought they were romantic and suave.
