Everyone moved into Jinling Academy. The people walking in the corridor were all elegant scholars in long robes, romantic talents, and imperial examination students in the academy.
Jia Yun was not familiar with Jinling Academy when she first came to it. However, Wang Lu was a local student in Jinling and was born in Jinling Academy. He had studied hard here for many years, so he already knew the layout of this place well and led everyone to gallop along. , rushing to the courtyard halfway up the mountain of Jinling Academy.
The courtyard is deep and built from top to bottom, giving it the elegance of the literati Wang Xizhi encountered when he was gathering at the Lanting Pavilion at the foot of Kuaiji Mountain.
"We will go to the Orchid Pavilion in Shanyin, Kuaiji, to repair evil spirits.
All the talented people have arrived, and the young and old have gathered together.
Here there are high mountains, luxuriant forests and tall bamboos, as well as clear and turbulent streams, which are reflected to the left and right, making them look like flowing water.
Although it is not as prosperous as silk and bamboo orchestral music, one drink and one chant are enough to express the secret love.
....."
Jia Yun sighed slightly, seeing the beautiful scenery of the meandering water cup in front of her eyes, the memory of the elegance of the ancients slowly awakened in her heart. At first glance, she saw the meandering water cup surrounded by mountains and rivers. There were people sitting on both sides of the small stream. , there is an old white-haired man above, and an elegant student below, so it feels like a gathering of young and old.
Jia Yun stepped into the banquet with some admiration and found that there were young children waiting here to welcome the guests from afar.
When Jia Yun came over, a boy immediately came over to verify his identity, "Who is this young master?"
Lin Lu and others are all locals and have studied at Jinling Academy all year round. Therefore, they all know these young boys and know where they should take them. However, Jia Yun is a stranger. She should not be an old acquaintance. She only sees a seven-year-old boy. After pondering for a moment, the eight-year-old boy asked tentatively: "Sir, are you the literary talent who was the head of the county case, the grandson of Jia Guogong of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Yun, the second master Yun?"
"That's right." Jia Yun nodded slightly when she heard this.
Several people nearby couldn't help but gasp when they heard the conversation between the two people.
They had heard about Jia Yun before, and when they knew that a dragon had come from Jinling Prefecture and had taken away the special quota of "county case chief" who came first in the imperial examination and county examination of Jinling Prefecture, they only felt that Shocked and surprised, I had long wanted to see Jia Yun.
After all, literature is the best, and martial arts is the first. The story about Wu Zhuangyuan and Wen Zhuangyuan has been passed down through the ages.
Jinling Mansion is also located in the Jiangnan region where the culture is prosperous. The difficulty of the imperial examination every year is undoubtedly hellish.
Just say that in such a hellishly difficult imperial examination, an outsider took away the glory that should belong to the locals. Can these people not be surprised and surprised? It's just that Jia Yun is indeed talented and knowledgeable, which stopped everyone from talking. Otherwise, the students of the local faction would definitely not tolerate such a slap in the face happening within their own jurisdiction.
Now, when they saw the real person, everyone looked at Jia Yun up and down. She was wearing a silk scarf and a crane cloak, and she looked like a god. "They thought in their hearts: "What a romantic talent like a literary star in the sky,"
After a gentle inspection, the boy looked at Jia Yun a few more times and thought to himself, "What a beautiful and handsome boy!"
Then, the boy turned to Jia Yun and said, "Master Jia, you belong to the upper table. Follow me and take a seat at the top."
After that, the boy led Jia Yun all the way to the top position, while Lin Lu and others frowned, shook their heads, sighed, and said: "Hey, Mr. Jia is a cloud dragon in the sky. , and we are just fish, shrimp, mud in the river, light like grains of rice, how can we compete with the bright moon?"
It turns out that there were a lot of people coming to the Jinling Poetry Fair this time, and most of them were elders, scholars and officials who were higher than the children, and there were even local gentry and academic officials, so the positions were divided into three, six, and nine. There is high and low, and there are different treatments.
The top positions were reserved for senior officials and top literary talents.
The middlemost position was reserved for scholars and local gentry.
The lowest position was reserved for Lin Lu and others.
Therefore, after Lin Lu and others brought Jia Yun over, they could only stay below, unable to occupy the geomantic treasures upstream, and could no longer follow Jia Yun on the mountain.
However, everyone was mentally prepared for this, but they were not angry. Instead, they looked at each other and said, "Let's go! Let's go sit with our classmates and friends."
........
The most upstream position.
There are not many people gathered in this place, but only local officials and talented people are qualified to sit here.
Jia Yun being able to come in was an exception and a special favor.
Firstly, this matter was brought up by Jia Yucun, thinking that it was the kindness of the Jia family that protected his career and future. Secondly, this was also everyone's thoughts and ideas, and they wanted to take a look again, that stirring What kind of level are the talented and talented people who passed the imperial examination in Jinling Prefecture and the fierce dragon crossing the river?
But I saw a fairy-like young man climbing up the stone steps. He was handsome and elegant, with long sleeves fluttering. He was rich and elegant, and graceful. He was like an "exiled immortal" who came down from the sky. He seemed to have seen the real person living in the world. A genius and a genius.
"This person is the county case leader of this county examination. Jia Yun, the grandson of Rong Guogong of Shenjing Rongguo Mansion, Jia case leader?"
After seeing Jia Yun, Jia Yucun was immediately frightened. Looking into the distance, he saw a fairy and romantic talent slowly walking over. Just one glance at this person seemed to make him feel that this person has a bright future, and he thought in his heart : "I have indeed heard of this person in the Rongguo Mansion, but I have never met him. Now when I see him, he has the air of a god. I am afraid that he will be like a prime minister and assistant in the future!"
Appearance and temperament are very important for the imperial examination, especially in the Enke Palace Examination. Only if you pass the appearance test, you can have a good future. If you fail the appearance, you will easily be disgusted by the emperor and will not be able to prosper. Even if A person with extraordinary talent can only be a small official the size of a sesame seed or a mung bean.
The real He Shen was eight feet tall, and his appearance was better than that of Pan An. He Shen served as the bachelor of Wenhua Pavilion, the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the admiral of the Nine Gates, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the Minister of the Ministry of War. He would not have been so highly regarded without a few moments.
The reason why Heshen was able to have a bright future back then was because Heshen was handsome, well-spoken, and an expert in financial management...
Among them, the important factor of appearance is often ignored by people because of the stains on He Shen.
However, Jia Yucun had passed the imperial examination and knew how amazingly powerful Jia Yun could be with her appearance. He also knew that Jia Yun had Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion as backers, and their close relationship was far better than Jia Yun's. I am an outsider.
