Song Mu did not leave just like that. Today, the Wenjian Pavilion was brightly lit, and Song Mu was waiting here for the results of the review.
So everyone simply sat down on the second floor, drinking tea and waiting for the carving situation downstairs, while talking with Song Mu.
Song Mu only exchanged a few words with everyone when he came two days ago, but this time it was considered a formal acquaintance with each other.
Song Mu chatted with several people, and unexpectedly met a Jinshi from Jiangnan West Road, who was also the oldest Jinshi here, named Ye Guinian.
People from Chaisang County, Xunyang Prefecture, are kind-hearted in speech, experienced in work, and always have a smile on their faces.
"In the seventeen years since I became a Jinshi, I only returned to my hometown once the year before last. I actually saw the poem "Nostalgia at Night" by the number one scholar of the Song Dynasty at that time. I was quite emotional at that time."
Ye Guinian said this to Song Mu while sipping tea, with a look of admiration on his face.
"I think I haven't had the top pick in Jiangnan West Road for many years. This time, I feel proud and proud, haha."
Ye Guinian said with a smile. Several people next to him shrugged, seemingly used to it. But at this moment, Song Mu felt something in his heart, and he raised his hands and said to the other party.
"Master Ye is from the Xunyang Mansion, and it seems to be the ancestral home of Mr. Wuliu. So you must know something about the Tao Poetry Sect?"
As he said this, several people next to him also raised their eyebrows and looked at Ye Guinian.
I think they have already discussed this issue.
Ye Guinian smiled at the moment, nodded slightly, but said helplessly.
"Although Mr. Wuliu's ancestral land is indeed in my hometown, the people living there today are just some collateral Tao clan members who have built a Tao clan ancestral hall."
"Although these tribesmen encourage reading, it is rare for scholars to appear. It is rare to see people who truly come from the Tao Poetry Sect, but..."
The other party stopped talking and quickly attracted Song Mu's eyes. Ye Guinian thought for a moment and then murmured.
"That happened decades ago. At that time, I was still an ignorant child. One day I was catching fish and shrimp in the river and met two middle-aged scholars. The two men asked me about the location of the Tao Ancestral Hall."
"I remember one of them said something about me and wanted to take me into the Poetry Sect."
"It was only later that I learned about the affairs of this world, and then I thought that maybe people from the Tao Poetry Sect came to the ancestral land to select talents."
Huo Tai, who was next to him, laughed a few times as he listened and said jokingly.
"Brother Ye, doesn't that mean that Brother Ye almost became a member of the Tao Poetry Sect?"
Everyone smiled, and Ye Guinian also smiled in relief, shaking his head this time.
"It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. The Tao Poetry Sect is illusory. Besides, I don't want to be a scholar like a Confucian scholar with an air of immortality."
"The fireworks in this world are the most real."
Saying this, Ye Guinian glanced at Song Mu and spoke immediately.
"The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty, if I remember correctly, Brother Song's master is Huangfu Fengming, right? Then how come the number one scholar of the Song Dynasty doesn't know the traces of the Tao Poetry Sect?"
Song Mu also immediately shook his head with regret, because Tao Fengming, except for showing some of the magical powers of the Tao Poetry Sect in front of him a few times, was very secretive about where the Tao Poetry Sect was.
Song Mu wanted to find out. Firstly, the strange environment was indeed amazing, and because Song Mu knew that Tao Fengming was a disciple of the Tao Poetry Sect after all, his current injury might be of some help.
Seeing Song Mu's expression of sigh, Ye Guinian immediately spoke to Song Mu.
"But if Brother Song can find the Tao Poetry Sect in the future, or be invited to join that mysterious sect, Ye hopes that Brother Song can tell me the mystery of that sect. It is comparable to the hidden sect of the Li Du Poetry Sect. , it’s really curious.”
Everyone nodded this time, but Song Mu raised his hand and said.
"Brother Ye is overly praised. Whether Song will be favored by the Tao Poetry Sect is still uncertain."
However, everyone shook their heads and immediately talked to Song Mu.
"Brother Song's poetry is outstanding. Although he has not yet established his own school, he will definitely become famous for his poetry in the future."
"Maybe one day, we can see Brother Song establish a sect."
When everyone said this, Song Mu also repeatedly handed over his hands. This time he was a little embarrassed, but everyone soon changed the topic.
"I wonder if you all know the strange things happening on Chang'an Street recently?"
One of them spoke at this moment. As officials of the Wenkan Pavilion, they were naturally sensitive to what was happening in the world, and they also took over the conversation and spoke at this moment.
"The book "Common People's Affairs" that Song Zhuangyuan brought a few days ago is now very popular in various places in Chang'an. There are also storytelling and villain books. I heard that the response is very good."
"It's true. I saw it yesterday. Now that the second volume has been released, it's also causing a frenzy of looting. And I heard that the first person to sell this book was a bookstore called Yingxuefang. The other party's young boss is now in this city. I’m learning to read, but I don’t know how I found this book.”
Huo Tai next to him spoke at this time.
"I remember you all said before that Yingxuefang seems to be a bookstore from Jiangnan West Road, and the "Hundred Demons' Miscellany" was also the first to become popular in Jiangnan West Road."
"Doesn't this mean that the author is from Jiangnan West Road?"
"Hey, I wonder if Brother Song knows this person?"
After Huo Tai said this, the topic suddenly turned to Song Mu again. Song Mu was stunned when he heard this, but he smiled with relief and shook his head.
Several people were a little helpless, but they did not doubt Song Mu.
After all, it seems that that person's writing style is different from Song Mu's.
Song Mu also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Although the matter of the folk book was not something shady, Song Mu didn't want to tie this thing to himself immediately.
And maybe we can use this folk book to do more publicity in the future.
Now everyone was talking again, but Ye Guinian seemed to have remembered something, and looked at Song Mu and said.
"I just talked about the little book, but I discovered something unusual. The number one scholar in Song Dynasty is related to you."
As Ye Guinian said this, everyone also looked up. The other person took out a book from the cultural tourmaline and handed it to Song Mu.
Song Mu reached out to take it and saw that the book was originally a little book. When he saw what was on the cover, Song Mu blinked suddenly.
Three small words were suddenly printed on this book.
Song Mu Biography.
There is also a picture on the cover of a handsome young man wearing bright clothes and an angry horse, which is very similar to the scene when he was the top pick in high school.
Song Mu suddenly looked surprised when he saw this thing. Several people next to him also came up to take a look, and everyone was surprised at the moment.
"This is... a book about the number one scholar of Song Dynasty?"
"Yes, this is a little book that my child was reading after I came home yesterday."
"My son has always read poetry and books, and never liked folk books like this. I was furious at the time, but when I got it in my hands, I found that it was a book about the number one scholar in the Song Dynasty."
"I also looked through it. Most of the contents are about some mysterious experiences of Song Zhuangyuan. The descriptions are a bit exaggerated, but this picture album is really attractive."
Ye Guinian said this with full surprise on his face, and then looked at Song Mu and said.
"Song Zhuangyuan, what do you think about this matter?"
Song Mu had already glanced through it roughly, and most of the things on it were fabricated. For example, the demon he killed immediately after writing his own song "Night Nostalgia" was exterminated, and it was so powerful.
I was just a child at that time, how could I tear apart a demon sect scholar with my own hands through a poem?
Song Mu was also surprised for a moment when he saw the album, then he shook his head and asked.
"Song never knew about this, but now in Chang'an, books like this are sold?"
Ye Guinian nodded.
"I also took a look today. There are indeed some, and most of them are circulated in the hands of children. I don't know which bookstore printed them."
The people next to him also looked thoughtful at this moment, and Huo Tai immediately spoke to Song Mu.
"I think it was something created by the people of Chang'an. There have been books like this in the past. The last Chu Zhuangyuan also had a book like this, but it was not widely spread."
"It shouldn't be spread for long. This kind of thing is just a common man chasing profit."
Several people nodded in the same way and explained, and Song Mu also nodded slightly.
However, Song Mu still had an additional thought in his mind. This kind of thing was not a good thing. If he could find out which bookstore it was from, he could go and negotiate.
