Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Facing it is a large archway of six or seven meters, on which is written "Tiankai Wenyun" in big characters, which is exactly the handwriting of Emperor Hongzhi, the emperor of the dynasty, and it is very full.As far as its calligraphy is concerned, it is also very common in Su Mu's view.

However, these four characters seem to be very spiritual, with a solemn and open atmosphere.It can be seen that Emperor Hongzhi was an open-minded, generous and fair person.

Compared with these four words, Yingtian Mansion Tribute Courtyard looks a bit gloomy.

Behind the archway is the gate of the Gongyuan, on which a plaque with the word "Gongyuan" hangs in the middle of the gate. Two squares are built on the east and west of the gate, with the books "Selecting Scholars from the Ming Scriptures" and "Seeking Talents for the Country" respectively.Outside the gate of the Gongyuan are the east and west gates, and the gates are divided into three gates: the middle gate, the left gate and the right gate.After entering the gate, it is Longmen.

Dawn was the darkest time of the day, and there were only two red lanterns hanging at the door, swaying left and right in the night wind, giving people a very bad feeling.If it weren't for the fact that the scholars were making noise and greeting friends, it would really have the atmosphere of a ghost movie from later generations.

The gate of the Gongyuan is also very tall, a full five meters, but compared to a tall building behind it, it is still three times shorter.

It turned out that there was another building similar to a city tower behind the dragon gate. There were many shadows standing upstairs. If I guessed correctly, those people were the examiners of this department. This city tower was the famous Mingyuan Building.

Su Mu and the others were panicked, when suddenly, a cannon sounded from Mingyuan Tower, which startled him.

Strange to say, as soon as the gunfire fell, more than 2000 candidates fell silent at the same time as if they had been enchanted by someone.

Then a group of clerks and yamen servants ran out from the tribute courtyard, shouting at the same time: "It's Yin time, all candidates line up according to the region, waiting for the roll call."

"Really, really sure people come here!"

"Assembly in Quang Binh Mansion!"

"Has the famous candidate arrived?"

……

Soon someone clicked to Baoding Mansion, which was at the front of the line.

When Su Mu and the others heard the shout, they hurriedly took out the voucher from their pockets and went forward to check it.

A phalanx had already stood beside Baoding Mansion, and there were about three or four hundred candidates standing there, all of whom were unfamiliar faces.Hearing their speeches, I realized that they were scholars from Hejian Mansion.

Baoding deserves to be the largest prefecture in Hebei, but there are many more candidates than the other prefectures. There is a large crowd standing there, at least thousands of people.

Everyone handed the certificate to the book office for checking, and after checking it was correct, they received a test card, saying that this was their test number, and after entering the dragon gate, they used this number to find the test booth to make papers.

Sumu's test number is T NO.16.

The people next to him said that although they were not A, B, and C, they were still in the front, and they should not be able to enter the examination room in half an hour.Otherwise, if you get the test number with Xin characters or even Kui characters, then you will have no law to wait, and your legs will stand sore.

Previously, everyone was in a mess in the square, and it was dark, so we couldn't see clearly.This time they gathered together, they were all fellow villagers, many of them had contacts before, and they were very happy to see acquaintances, they bowed and bowed to each other, and talked in a low voice.

Because Su Mu was the top candidate in the last academic examination and also a junior Sanyuan, he is also considered a well-known talent in Baoding Prefecture.When Shu Li called his name, the people behind all buzzed and began to discuss in a low voice: "So he is Su Ziqiao, he is really handsome and handsome!"

After Su Mu took the test number and left, someone came up to chat, reported his name, and then complimented him.

Soon, everyone around him turned their heads at the same time, and Su Mu stood among them, just like the moon surrounded by stars.

Su Mu didn't expect that he was so famous in Baoding, so he felt a little proud of himself.

He would not get carried away, and only politely returned the salute.

"Brother Ziqiao, I have admired your name for a long time, although I have never read your article. But it is the first time in my house that you won a small three yuan. It is really enviable and respectful!"

"Zi Qiao, I heard that Master He Jingming personally chose your first name. Master He is a famous person in the world. If you can enter his family, you will naturally have outstanding talents."

"You don't know it now. Mr. He is a generation of poets. His disciples, among other things, the poems are naturally excellent. You have forgotten that Ziqiao wrote a good poem."

"Remember, remember, that poem is really good!"

Then, someone recited in a low voice the seven-character poem written by Su Mu when he was in Baoding Mansion.

Ordinary people are so flattered that they can't find the north.

However, Su Mu knew that the more this kind of situation was, the more he had to be modest, so he hurriedly said with a smile: "You guys are absurd, poetry is a small way. Scholars of my generation, if we want to contribute to the country, we have to follow the correct path of the imperial examination. Writing is the real thing."

"For a person who can write such good poems, will his writing be bad? Ziqiao doesn't need to be humble." A scholar said, "It depends on the situation. There are still two quarters before the opening of the dragon gate. I don't know if Ziqiao will have a new work coming out." Why don't you read it out and let me take a look."

"Indeed, Zi Qiao read it quickly."

Everyone was idle and bored, they all applauded in a low voice at the same time, and they all looked over eagerly.

Su Mu smiled wryly in his heart. Although he had a poem name, where did he write any poems on weekdays? It’s because I’m nervous, I haven’t had time to write poems and lyrics, please forgive me.”

Everyone was a little bit disappointed, after all, Su Mu's song "One Night Dongfeng Travels Thousands of Miles" was really well done, and now it has spread throughout Baoding.If there is no accident, it is possible to spread it all over the world in the future, and even pass it on to future generations.I have to admit that Su Munai is a world-class poetry master, and everyone is looking forward to his new works.

At this time, suddenly, someone chanted loudly: "One journey through the mountains, one journey through the water. Walk towards the side of the township pass, and a thousand lights will be lit in the middle of the night."

Although the sound was not loud, it was very clear.

Suddenly someone yelled: "This is "Long Lovesickness", why is there only half a piece?"

Hearing this sound, everyone suddenly realized, isn't this just the lyrics of "Long Lovesickness"?

Although there is only half a sentence, and the words and sentences are plain and ordinary, they are eloquent, graceful and sad.When the traveler leaves his hometown, he is still looking back at his hometown after traveling in the mountains and rivers to the extreme.

What's more, these half of the lyrics are sincere and win with emotion, but they are not as full of ingenuity as their contemporaries who only use rhetoric and only pay attention to rhythm and form.

This word is full of aura!

For a moment, everyone's hearts twitched at the same time, as if a hand had pinched the softest part of their hearts.They all fell silent, silently waiting for the next half film.

"Isn't this the poem I wrote in the restaurant the night before yesterday?" Su Mu was startled, and looked up, only to see Mr. Long standing opposite him, with a sarcastic smile on his mouth.
