August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival is full moon.
During the Reunion Festival, Yuzhang City is also very lively today.
There were a lot of people walking on the street. I heard that a pagoda was set up in a square in the south of the city and was ready to be burned. The shops along the street were selling various moon cakes and pastries, and some children were holding a novel toy in their hands.
A small rabbit-shaped lantern made of bamboo colored paper is held high on a small bamboo pole. Children in groups of three or five are running wildly accompanied by their families.
Rumor has it that this was originally a custom in Guangdong Province. Due to the turmoil in southern Xinjiang, many people came to Yuzhang City, so there are such things in this city.
Many students in the city who have not yet left are also busy today, planning to go to the square to fly sky lanterns to pray for the provincial high school examination next year.
As for the new recruits, by the time the sun sets, they have already arrived on the street one by one.
At this moment, they were all walking happily towards Prince Teng's Pavilion in the distance. Those who knew that these people were going to the banquet all had envious expressions on their faces.
Song Mu also tidied up the room at this moment, then opened the door and set off with Ge Long and Sun Fang who were waiting outside.
"Now that Junior Brother Song has packed everything, let's set off."
Ge Long looked at Song Mu who had put on his uniform again and looked dashing. A light flashed in his eyes and he said with a smile.
Sun Fang next to him was also smiling at the moment, looked at Song Mu and said.
"This uniform fits Junior Brother Song very well. Just by looking at it, you can tell he is Young Master Pianpian."
Song Mu smiled, and then he answered a few words, and several people also left the hall one after another.
There are not many people in the guild hall today. Because it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the curfew has been lifted in the city, and many people are taking to the streets. There is a poetry meeting on the moon today, and these people want to go to Fengya.
There were only a few uninterested students staying in the guild hall. At the invitation of Shopkeeper Mo, they went to sit in the backyard and watch the moon together later.
Song Mu and others were walking on the street. The sun was setting in the west and the moon had not yet appeared. There were already many people on the street today.
Many people also recognized Song Mu and came up to say hello. Song Mu mostly held his hands in front of him. Sometimes when he met several excited young students, he still had to say a few words in reply.
The women passing by all around were looking sideways at this moment, all their beautiful eyes looking at Song Mu. After knowing Song Mu's identity, they even pulled the women accompanying them to let out bursts of exclamations.
This made several classmates who were walking next to Song Mu feel overwhelmed with emotion at this moment.
Na Gelong even laughed and said.
"Haha, Junior Brother Song, it seems that now you are not only a well-known figure in Yuzhang City, but also the sweetheart of countless women."
Song Mu was also shy when he heard that he had collapsed, while several people next to him smiled when they saw it.
Even Sun Fang, who had always been gentle and elegant, couldn't help but say something to Song Mu at this moment.
"Junior Brother Song, so many students are talking to you today, and they probably want you to write one more poem. Are you prepared?"
"When we go to the banquet tonight, we will definitely have to recite poems and write poems. Brother Song will not be able to escape no matter what. He must have already prepared a draft by now."
At this moment, someone next to him also said it, with smiles on their faces.
"Yes, I also want to see what kind of poetry Brother Song can write today. It will surely shock the past and the present again. Maybe during the Mid-Autumn Festival in the future, we will have one more thing to remember. ah,"
Everyone nodded and said, Song Mu just grinned and did not respond to everyone's words.
Not long after, everyone had arrived under the pedestal of Prince Teng's Pavilion.
Today, the Tengwang Pavilion is also decorated with splendor and splendor. Lanterns are hung everywhere on the three-story eye-catching building. The orange light radiates from the countless lanterns hanging high, but together with the lights in the attic, it illuminates everything. The other four floors are obvious, and at this moment, the "three bright and four dark" pavilions are decorated extremely gorgeously.
Song Mu also looked up at this moment and couldn't help but exclaimed.
I also visited the Tengwang Pavilion in my last life, but at that time, the Tengwang Pavilion was already a building that had been rebuilt many times and had lost some of its ancient charm.
But at this moment, standing under this building and looking up, the majestic and majestic feeling makes people involuntarily sigh.
Several people sighed one after another at that moment, and they couldn't help but want to recite poems in response.
After sighing for a moment, a small official came over to introduce him, and everyone immediately followed and stepped into the building.
Song Mu also stepped into it at this moment, and saw that the scene in front of him suddenly became colorful. There were bursts of music coming from the building, and the sound of guzheng and pipa spread throughout the entire pavilion.
In the middle of this floor, there is a tall white marble stele. Engraved on it is the famous "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng".
The surroundings of the stone tablet were illuminated by lights, and the warm atmosphere of a grand banquet was already approaching.
At this moment, it was already crowded with people.
This time, more than 400 people passed the Jiangnan West Road Provincial Examination. Excluding those who passed the exam in the military, there were still one or two hundred people here who were newly promoted in each prefecture.
At this moment, these people were standing scattered among several floors of the building, chatting happily with each other, and it was extremely lively.
Song Mu walked in immediately, and the person standing at the door who recognized Song Mu came over.
"Jie Yuanlang is here!"
I don't know who shouted at this moment. Many people in Prince Teng's Pavilion looked over. Only then did Song Mu realize that there were not only new candidates here today, but also many officials and famous disciples. .
Because Song Mu saw Zhang Tianke.
At this moment, he was standing with a young man of similar age. That man was Zhang Tianju, who came in third in the provincial examination.
When someone said that Song Mu was coming, Zhang Tianju and Zhang Tianke also looked over at this moment.
It seemed that the two of them had a few words of conversation. Song Mu saw Zhang Tianju approaching with a calm expression, and Zhang Tianke followed suit.
"My dear, Zhang Tianju, I released the results a few days ago, but I didn't get to talk to Brother Song."
Zhang Tianju immediately stepped forward and spoke to Song Mu in a neither humble nor overbearing manner. The two of them bowed their hands to each other, but they were both three parts reserved and seven parts polite.
Although Song Mu was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Tianke, it did not mean that he had any special views on Zhang Tianju.
On the contrary, Zhang Tianju seems to have a very good reputation in Yuzhang City, and he is also a leader of the younger generation of the Zhang family. He has a bright future in the future.
Song Mu also handed over to him. The two briefly chatted for a few words, and then Zhang Tianju turned and left.
Zhang Tianke, on the other hand, hurriedly followed up and now smiled and held his hands in front of Song Mu.
"Brother Song, please be polite. I was blind to the truth before and did some frivolous behavior. Please forgive me, Brother Song."
After saying this, the other party even bowed slightly, looking very apologetic.
Song Mu looked at the other party's behavior, but the expression on his face was calm at the moment, but he didn't want to say anything more to the other party, so he just bowed his hand.
"I have something else to do, so I'm sorry."
After saying that, Song Mu raised his legs and walked to the side. When Zhang Tianke saw Song Mu's impatient look, his face flashed a bit with embarrassment, but he still hurriedly followed up and said to Song Mu again.
"Brother Song, I know I made a mistake first, but I have also received punishment from the clan. If Brother Song feels that it is not satisfactory, then Brother Song, just speak up. I, Zhang Tianke, am willing to accept the punishment."
The other party looked very sincere at the moment, but Song Mu was even more impatient at the moment.
This is not because Song Mu is angry, but because of what happened that day, Song Mu has already broken his skin with him. When they meet in the future, it would be great if the two of them can no longer have conflicts and just pretend to be strangers. .
But obviously Zhang Tianke didn't think so. In his eyes, Song Mu was so valuable that he wished he could turn into a piece of dog-skin plaster and stick it on Song Mu's body.
Just when Song Mu was about to sternly refuse again, the servant's shout came from the door of the attic.
"The Governor is here!"
