After arriving in the capital, Jiang Michia and Song Jingyun were going to find an inn to stay, but they were stopped by Jiang Junli. "Since you followed me to the capital, it makes sense to stay in an inn wherever you go, and that's Guanghuayuan."
"Guanghua Garden?" Song Jingyun asked, "But Jiang Langjun's home? If so, is it too disturbing..."
Although the Jiang family's old residence is not in the capital, there are a large number of Jiang family members and their direct branches are scattered everywhere. There must be other people coming and going in the Jiang family's house in the capital, which is a bit inconvenient.

"It's my house, not a residence." Jiang Junli raised his chin, "It's a house that I bought some houses and then knocked them down and rebuilt them a few years ago, specifically to accommodate the candidates who came to Beijing to take the exam."
"All food and accommodation in Guanghua Garden are free of charge. All kinds of wine and food, pens, inks, papers, and inkstones are provided every day. There are even teachers who give lectures every day to answer questions and answer questions for the candidates. The candidates can study together on weekdays and interact with each other. Exchange and discuss.”
"In this way, firstly, it can save the candidates the trouble of running around to find accommodation. Secondly, it can also save the candidates from worrying about expenses and then not being able to take the exam well. Thirdly, the candidates can discuss knowledge with each other and prepare for the exam. Helped."
"The most important thing is that by building this Guanghua Garden, I can be considered as having contributed to the imperial court, which satisfies my sense of responsibility. And if you want to enter this Guanghua Garden, as long as you can answer my question Just use the test questions.”
"Song Langjun is so talented and learned, so he can naturally enter Guanghua Garden. Moreover, Guanghua Garden is full of separate small courtyards. It is convenient for you and Lady Jiang to live in one of them."
Sure enough, Jiang Junli is still Jiang Junli.
Never disappoints!
Since Jiang Junli arranged it like this, Song Jingyun also wanted to study knowledge with the candidates who came from everywhere, so he agreed, thanked Jiang Junli with Jiang Michia, and then followed the young man to Guanghua Garden.
Guanghua Garden is located in the southeast of the capital, not far from Gongyuan. It occupies a huge area. Just looking at the walls of the courtyard, it feels like you can't see the edges at a glance.
The gate is tall and gorgeous, and there are dedicated people at the door to receive guidance.
In the corridor at the first door after entering the gate, there are questions for the examination required to enter Guanghua Garden. Anyone who wants to enter Guanghua Garden needs to answer the questions here and show them to the master at the door. Only those who pass the questions can enter.
When Song Jingyun and Jiang Michia walked up to them, the servant and the master who were accompanying them whispered something.
The leader among the masters was an old man in his fifties. After hearing what the young man said, he raised his hand to Song Jingyun and said, "It turns out they are Song Jieyuan and Mrs. Song. My surname is Zhou, and he is the master of Guanghua Garden."
"Hello, Master Zhou." Song Jingyun and Jiang Michia both bowed in return.
Master Zhou stroked the beard on his chin, "Although the young master has told you to let Song Jieyuan go directly to Guanghua Garden, since Song Jieyuan can master Jieyuan in Qiuwei, he must be a talented person. I really want to see it." One or two, so I would like to trouble Song Jieyuan to answer this question."
"That's fine." Song Jingyun nodded in agreement.
Song Jingyun has never been afraid of exams, and since he rushed to the capital for more than half a month, although he has been studying along the way, he has never had time to write an article or do a set of test questions.
Now that Master Zhou is making such a request, Song Jingyun feels a little eager to give it a try.
