"Mingde, you saw it, our tent has been set up over there."
In the square outside the north gate of Gongyuan, Dai Mingliang was holding a one-year-old baby in his arms, wrapping it tightly and squeezing it forward carefully, not forgetting to say something to Dai Mingde who was walking in front. .
Dai Mingde was also fully armed today. He was walking forward with many things in his arms. He did not forget to look forward along the way. He looked at the high wall of the Gongyuan and was suddenly fascinated.
"Master, why are we doing this? The house we bought is only a few hundred meters away from here, and it cost us five hundred taels of silver."
"The Sanjin courtyard is hundreds of taels more expensive than usual."
"And in this cold winter, this tent is not as warm as the house."
Behind Dai Mingde, a woman dressed in rich clothes was also following behind. Just looking at the crowds in the square, her face was a little impatient. From time to time, she covered her nose with a handkerchief, and with the help of the maid behind her Move forward slowly.
When Dai Mingliang heard this, he frowned slightly, turned his head and said lightly.
"Xiaofang, this is not the time to talk about hardship."
"We need to get closer to Song Jieyuan. If Song Jieyuan writes another vision, the closer we are, the better it will be for Xiaobao."
"When we get to the tent in front, it will be warm."
Dai Mingliang said firmly, and Dai Mingde nodded repeatedly when he heard this.
In their view, such hard work is nothing. Being able to enjoy the blessings of Song Jieyuan's vision in the first time is the most important thing.
At this moment, Dai Mingde looked at the tall Gongyuan in front again, thinking that Song Jieyuan should have already written in it.
When I said goodbye to Lin'an City, I was even more respectful to Song Jieyuan. The "Looking at the Sea Tide" has now been made into a stone tablet and stands in the viewing platform of Lin'an City. Many students who come to visit Lin'an ask for it. Go there and have a look.
And when he was able to get to know Song Jieyuan first, he also attracted the envy of many of his classmates. Many people came to ask him about Song Mu's situation and what kind of person he was.
Dai Mingde always took the trouble to recount it again.
In his mind, the gentle Song Mu was a person exuding immortality. Just like Du Fu's admiration for Li Baizhi, people always felt that they were looking up to him.
Later, what the other party did in Jinling City, the song "The Sapphire Case" also caused Dai Mingde to break his thigh. If he could have seen it with his own eyes at that time, it must have been a scene as magnificent as "Looking at the Tide".
But what fascinated Dai Mingde the most was Song Jieyuan's lectures in Jinling at that time.
I was not able to witness such scenes with my own eyes. I could only occasionally get a glimpse of them from other people's mouths or from some newspapers and periodicals.
What I have learned on paper is ultimately shallow, and I know that I have to do it in detail.
Such famous sentences almost make people realize instantly.
And since then, it seems that within the Jiangnan School, there has suddenly been another voice that unites practice and knowledge with action.
Today, I not only agree with Song Jieyuan's remarks, but also work hard to follow the truth. Every time I read, I don't feel any pain, and I am more hopeful. Maybe one day in the future, I will be the same. It can be done.
And one day, I should be able to write vigorously in this Gongyuan and achieve a good reputation.
Dai Mingde stopped and looked at the Gongyuan in front of him, his heart trembling.
Song Jieyuan was not only stunning in his poetry, but also talented in the world. If he established a poetry sect one day, he would be the first to join him.
By following him, perhaps you can understand what Confucianism and Taoism are.
Thinking of this, Dai Mingde had already arrived in front of the square with his brother and aunt. There were many tents here. Although there was a cold wind, there were blazing fire pits everywhere. Many people were sitting on the ground in the square with quilts on them. While talking to each other, their eyes were looking at each other. Towards the tall Gongyuan wall in front.
"Old Sun, how many visions do you think we can have this year?"
"How do I know this? Of course the more the better."
"Hehe, that's true. What I want to see the most is Song Jieyuan's vision. I spent three taels of silver on it."
"You really went to place a bet and wanted to take money from those guys. You can even think of losing money."
"Hey, don't think I'm messing around. There is no loss in this transaction. As long as Song Jieyuan triggers the vision twice, I can earn one tael. If it happens three times, then I will earn 10 taels."
"So, those who opened the market think that Song Jieyuan can at least induce a vision?"
"Of course, come here."
The two men next to them were sitting in front of the brazier and talking. A pale man in the tent behind them also stood up slightly after hearing the words. Listening to the words of the two men, he also said a few words.
"I don't have that idea. As long as any talented man writes a vision that can close my broken leg and regenerate it, I will provide him with an immortal tablet."
Most of the people around were talking excitedly, perhaps because the square now had straw curtains to block the wind and rain, and with so many people gathered together, it was still warm.
The soldiers on duty around the Gongyuan had to brave the cold wind at this moment. Even though their bodies were numb, they could only move their eyes slightly, hoping that different movements would come from the Examination Hall behind them soon. .
The winter nights seem to be very long, and people are struggling here with hope.
In the middle of the night, when everyone was drowsy, someone suddenly stood up and shouted.
"Wen Xing's light, someone has triggered Wen Xing's light."
After the words fell, the people immediately cheered up and stood up to look at the high wall of the Gongyuan, as if they wanted to see something different from it.
Suddenly, a few rays of light came out from the high wall of the Gongyuan, and the green light flashed. Everyone looked up and sighed slightly.
"There are just literary stars surging, but no one has yet produced a good article that can arouse visions."
Some people lamented a little and could only sit down slowly. This happened many times during the night. The people almost always woke up immediately, but then sat down again in disappointment.
They were a little discouraged, but they comforted themselves that this was, after all, the first night of the test.
The vision of the general examination has already been difficult to arouse, and I have accumulated a lot of experience, but I have endured it for the past few days.
And throughout the whole day of the second day, no one saw a single vision. Although there were many stars surging and green and red lights blooming, nothing changed.
Until the night of the second day, when everyone went to bed early due to exhaustion, they suddenly felt a strange wave of turbulence.
Someone stood up, a little confused at the moment, and seemed to feel a little lucky.
But the next moment, they only saw a dense ray of light rushing into the sky, and then dispersed. Immediately, they felt that the sky was falling with little stars of light.
"Is it a vision?"
Someone said something in surprise, which immediately ignited the thoughts of others, but the next moment, they were a little confused, because this vision seemed to bring nothing.
Finally, I waited for a vision, but nothing seemed to happen.
Just when they were disheartened, they saw another ray of light suddenly rippling out of the Gongyuan.
Rolling like thunder, the sound is huge.
