At dusk, people turned in their papers one after another.
Yu Tiance checked his name and place of origin again to confirm there were no errors, and rang the bell.
Not long after, the clerk in charge of collecting papers arrived.
One of them, Yu Tiance recognized at a glance, was the new magistrate of Xinfeng County.
Perhaps there were too many people, so the county magistrate did not read the paper. Instead, he covered Yu Tiance's identity information with paper and put the answer sheet into a sealed bag.
Another invigilator collected Yu Tiance’s pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
The two of them jointly confirmed that the papers were sealed, affixed a seal to the mouth of the bag, and signed their names before allowing the candidates to leave.
Outside the examination room, there were huge crowds of family members waiting to take the examination.
Most of them are locals from Chang'an. Some of them raised their heads and laughed, some praised them, some bowed their heads and shed tears, or scolded the candidates...
Some candidates, holding test baskets, gathered together to look at the answers.
"I didn't answer the last question. Although it was full, it was all done in vernacular. My father will inevitably get a bloody fuck when I get home!"
"Me too, 80% of it is useless."
"Don't be discouraged. Maybe you will perform exceptionally well in the second game?"
"Yes, I heard that if you write a poem that Shopkeeper Lu likes at the Jiang Yue Lou Poetry Competition today, you will get a treasure from him! It only happens once a year!"
oh?
Yu Tiance's heart moved as he listened to everyone's discussion.
He is not short of money, but he said baby...
"Brothers, what do you mean by Jiang Yuelou Poetry Club?"
The scholar turned back and said with a smile: "Brother, you are not from Chang'an, are you? The eighth day of September is the birthday of the shopkeeper of Jiang Yue Tower."
Talking about Jiang Yuelou, another scholar came over.
"Brother, the shopkeeper of Jiang Yue Tower admires Li Bai. Every year on his birthday, he takes out a treasure and asks for a good poem to be hung in Jiang Yue Tower."
oh!
After being a homebody for the past few days, I was really feeling a little depressed, so I just happened to take my wife to see the excitement.
However, Yu Tiance didn't hold out much hope either.
For something like this, there must be a lot of poets going there, including those who are famous for being a scholar or a scholar. If you want to stand out from the crowd, it is no less difficult than winning the first place in the government examination.
"Let's go, brother, let's go take a look together."
"No, I want to find my wife, you go first."
…
Outside the blockade, Shen Jing raised her hands high above her head, jumping and shouting: "Langjun, Langjun, here, I am here! Who were you talking to just now?"
"The children who took the scientific examination together."
oh!
Shen Jing asked cutely: "How did you do in the exam?"
"It's okay."
"That's fine! Lang Jun is the best!"
"Come on, I'll take you to a fun place!"
Shen Jing frowned: "A fun place?"
Yo yo!
"It's true that we are on opposite sides of the road!"
Jiang Nan led the four people from the joint security team and walked over to the two of them.
Yu Tiance knew two of them.
They are the two sons of the Wang family in Xicheng and the Jiang family in Dongcheng, Xinfeng County.
I don't know the other two, but they must be the sons of the gentry and powerful people in Xinfeng County because they can jointly protect Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan stepped forward with a flattering smile on his face: "Sister Jing'er, this Biaozi will definitely not be able to pass the imperial examination, because the gap between him and me is really too big!"
snort!
"Only one place is missing in the county exam. Is the gap still big?"
Shen Jing held Yu Tiance's arm and shook her head: "Lang Jun, let's go and ignore him!"
Being a stranger in a foreign land.
Especially during the government examination, if you can avoid causing trouble, it's better not to cause trouble.
Yu Tiance smiled slightly and asked: "Master Jiang, your voice has healed, can you speak now?"
"what do you mean?"
Jiang Nan's smile froze and she clenched her fists.
"What I mean is, don't get too close to me. Otherwise, if I'm in a bad mood one day, your voice will become hoarse again."
Creak, creak, creak!
I wanted to be angry with Yu Tiance, but unexpectedly, I didn't say a word that I had prepared.
How dare a poor scholar threaten the son of a wealthy gentry.
Jiang Nan was wary and said angrily: "Don't think that you are powerful just because you have a few tricks! You must know that if you offend me, you will not get any good results."
"What can you do against me?"
Yu Tiance asked in his soul, but Jiang Nan was speechless again.
Sure enough, there is really no way!
snort!
Yu Tiance smiled contemptuously and left Gongyuan quietly.
Looking at the two people's retreating figures, Jiang Nan clenched her fists loudly: "This Biao thing, I will definitely ruin his reputation!"
…
Not long after, the two passed by the bustling streets and inquired all the way, and found Jiang Yue Tower.
The distance is not far, just half an hour of walking.
It is worthy of being the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties and the famous city Chang'an!
As soon as it gets dark, the banks of the Bahe River are filled with lanterns. The candlelight is like a fire dragon, stretching for miles and being transparent.
Night ships pass by the light of fire.
The travelers in the boat stood on the deck one after another, looking at the beautiful scenery on both sides of the river.
Due to historical reasons, this ancient city has a special love for poetry.
Moreover, today is also the birthday of shopkeeper Jiang Yuelou, and there are treasures as gifts. There is an endless stream of talented people and beauties coming and going in front of the door.
The two entered the wine shop and were greeted by the waiter.
"Young Master, there are no dishes in our restaurant today, only wine."
Twenty dollars was stuffed into the small handbag.
"Bring me two jugs of good wine!"
okay!
Yu Tiance looked up.
On the ceiling of the wine shop, hanging pieces of poetry boards, like wind chimes, are written by students and celebrities who traveled to Chang'an.
Not long after, a richly dressed man appeared in the middle of the corridor on the second floor.
"All talented people, please be quiet for a moment!"
At this time, a man in rich clothes appeared in the middle of the corridor on the second floor.
He held up a jade pendant that blended purple and yellow, and shouted loudly to the nearly a hundred students below him.
"Everyone, Lu is the shopkeeper of Jiang Yue Tower. I would like to give you a black bird jade pendant for a good poem and hang it in the lobby."
Wow!
The students looked at Shopkeeper Lu, laughed heartily, and cheered loudly.
"This is the moment I've been waiting for!"
"Shopkeeper Lu is so heroic and a treasure every year!"
"Shopkeeper Lu, I'm just here to write a poem!"
…
Shopkeeper Lu smiled and took a sip of wine: "Li Taibai, the Immortal Poet, once drunkenly wrote a poem when he was dismissed from his official position and became a Taoist priest. He wrote a poem, 'It is fun to cook cattle and slaughter sheep, and you will have to drink three hundred cups at a time'!" My request , everyone will use wine as the theme today and show off to your heart's content! If Lu is admired, this jade pendant will be his!"
"I come……"
"I'll play one too!"
"And I!"
…
Many students stood up one after another and used their wine to express their inspiration.
After burning the incense, Shopkeeper Lu was still shaking his head.
But it's no wonder, who can write a good sentence that makes people intoxicated at a glance, just on the spot?
Moreover, Shopkeeper Lu was born as a Jinshi and had served as a member of the Imperial Academy, so he naturally had a high level of vision.
Then, several more people stood up.
…
If one person reads out one song, the participation prize is a bottle of wine.
Unconsciously, half an hour has passed, and the poem that can satisfy Shopkeeper Lu has not appeared yet.
Suddenly, someone took a picture of Yu Tiance from behind.
"Biaozi, I didn't expect you to come here! A person like you is worthy of coming to this place? Can you listen to what you wrote? Don't taint the ears of my sister Jing'er!"
