The moon is almost at its zenith.
The banquet is almost over.
Su Yu also recorded some poems, which barely filled up the paper he spread on the table.
In the second half, Zhang Xuezheng was still satisfied with two or three people, so he was in a good mood.
After finishing writing, Su Yu gave the paper to Zhang Xuezheng, and also gave each of them a picture of a beauty and a storybook.
For the remaining pictures of beauties, everyone whose poems he registered was given a copy.
The person who received the gift was so surprised that he couldn't put it down and touched the beautiful note with good texture in his hand.
Those who have not received it are looking forward to the opening of the bookstore tomorrow. They will buy some early and come back to enjoy them.
After the banquet dispersed, Zhang Xuezheng kept a few people whose poems had been excerpted.
I originally thought that Zhang Xuezheng would accept disciples today, but he just gave a few words of encouragement as usual and let everyone disperse.
Magistrate Lu said curiously: "The quality of this batch of students is pretty good. I thought you would accept one or two students tonight."
Zhang Xuezheng said helplessly: "I do intend to accept a disciple."
"But I have received the emperor's favor and will be transferred back to Beijing next year, so I'd better wait."
He was still holding Su Yu's drawing paper in his hand, and he was going to let someone hang it up and watch it slowly when he got home.
Magistrate Lu was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "Will you be transferred back to the capital so soon?"
Zhang Xuezheng sighed: "Now that the imperial court is short of talents, it is a last resort."
Your Majesty is currently in a state of uncertainty, and you don’t know when he will have an attack.
Officials are dismissed or demoted almost every month.
As a result, many positions became vacant.
Many of his overseas officials have been transferred back to the capital one after another.
Magistrate Lu smiled and said: "Master Zhang has indeed fulfilled his duties. No wonder His Majesty trusts you so much and wants to transfer you back in advance."
Zhang Xuezheng shook his head and said: "According to the results of this year's college examination, I now feel that Jiangling Mansion's literary style has indeed flourished a lot."
"If I can stay here for another two years, I believe I can select many useful talents for the imperial court."
"As for the first case of this college examination, the writing is really good."
"I think if he can learn from a famous teacher and get better guidance, he will definitely have a good chance of passing the provincial examination next year."
"It's a pity that I can't watch him win the election with my own eyes, and this political achievement cannot be attributed to me."
Magistrate Lu said happily: "Then I can only refuse to be disrespectful and help Mr. Zhang to receive this political achievement."
Zhang Xuezheng may not be as good as other academic officials, but those who read the imperial examination are definitely accurate.
He said there was great hope, so he couldn't be too wrong.
Magistrate Lu has decided to keep this person in the government school.
When he succeeds in the provincial examination next year, these will also be regarded as his political achievements as a prefect.
Zhang Xuezheng is indeed a little regretful.
I picked up a good seedling with my own hands, but it was a pity that I couldn't watch it.
When I return to Beijing, if this person can win the imperial examination and enter Beijing next year, I don't know if he will have already become a disciple by then.
pity......
Originally, if he had stayed here for three or two years as planned, he would have been able to accept this disciple.
In addition to teaching him about the imperial examination, he can also teach him poetry and so on.
In this way, a person will not be unable to compose a decent poem at a banquet.
Such an opportunity for performance was wasted.
...
Song Youming, Zhang Wenyuan and others were left for questioning, so Su Yu packed up his things and left with the others.
Many people drank a lot, with varying degrees of drunkenness on their faces.
But what he was talking about was without exception the picture of the beauty that Su Yu showed just now.
The academic master and the prefect were here just now, so it was difficult for them to talk too much.
Now that they are the only students left, they naturally don't have so many worries.
One person stuck his tongue out and said, "Su, Chief Su, can you let me take another look at your beautiful picture?"
"I always feel like I'm going to dream about the beauty in your drawing tonight."
After drinking a little wine, I felt completely in high spirits.
I'm still thinking about a beauty I caught a glimpse of. Why don't I have a sweet dream when I go back?
With a second look, the dream becomes more concrete.
Su Yu smiled and said, "All the drawing papers have been sent out, I still have some left at home."
"But when the bookstore reopens tomorrow morning, you can buy brand new pictures of beauties."
"Brother Wu, if you really want it, then go buy it and take it home early. You can see it whenever you want."
"And I also heard from the shopkeeper that there will be an event when the bookstore opens tomorrow."
“The more you buy, the more you get, it’s quite affordable.”
In fact, Su Yu brought a lot of paper, so everyone can get one copy.
But if everyone is given one, this thing is no longer rare.
It's better to whet their appetite and make them think about taking someone with them tomorrow.
"What you're saying is that there are other beauties in mind?"
Someone caught the key point of Su Yu's words.
Of course there is.
After reopening, Su Yu prepared two good pictures of beauties and two different story books.
If he had enough time, he could create more beauties of all kinds.
The ring is fat and the swallow is thin.
She is more beautiful and attractive than any beauties these scholars have ever seen in their lives.
Su Yu said: "I also heard this from the bookstore manager. You have to go to the bookstore to see the details."
Su Yu didn't say that this bookstore belonged to him, so as not to appear too utilitarian in front of the two adults at the banquet.
I heard that there will be other pictures of beauties, and people who were still drunk have sobered up a bit.
Everyone said no more nonsense and left directly, planning to go to bed early tonight and get up early tomorrow to visit the bookstore Su Yu mentioned.
By this time it was already dark.
Magistrate Lu arranged a room at the banquet place for drunk people to spend the night.
Some of them are still awake, or if there are servants at home to pick them up, they can go back.
Tonight's curfew will not target those scholars wearing brand-new robes.
Su Yu had no intention of staying here to sleep and planned to go home directly.
Li Erlang shouted, and Su Yu realized that he had hired a carriage from nowhere to pick him up.
"This is?"
Su Yu looked at the familiar carriage in front of him.
But it was too dark, and there was only a lantern hanging in front of the carriage, so it was not very clear.
He was not sure whether this was the one he had been in before.
Li Erlang explained: "It's getting late, so I can't just walk around on the street. I went to the car dealership to hire one."
"The boss heard that you were the leader of this hospital trial, so he rented us for one night at a cheap price."
"I'll just send it back early tomorrow."
I see......
It seems that this is the carriage he once rode in. After all, that carriage was also rented at the car dealership.
But why didn’t you see the coachman?
Li Erlang said directly: "I'll catch the car."
"Don't worry, my driving skills are not bad."
Su Yu was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to drive a car."
Li Erlang chuckled: "One more skill, one more thing to have around you."
"Get in the car."
Su Yu smiled and climbed into the car, sat inside and raised the curtain, letting the evening breeze blow in slowly.
He also drank some alcohol and smelled of alcohol.
The carriage clanked loudly as it passed through the deserted streets, and Su Yu felt a little sleepy.
But before I could squint for a while, I was already home.
The carriage stopped and when Su Yu got out of the car, Li Erlang had already knocked on the door.
The door opened, and it was Gu Changle who appeared cheerfully holding a lantern.
"came back?"
