The daily routine of the ancient imperial examination

Seeing that Master Wu finally asked his name, Lu Xiuyuan quickly saluted and revealed his identity.

"Student Lu Xiuyuan, from Jinshan Village, Ping'an Town, Linjie Province, has always admired Mr. Wu for a long time. This time he came to Beijing for the exam, and heard that he was giving a lecture. He really couldn't hold back, so he came here to listen to the lecture. I hope you will not blame him."

After finishing speaking, based on the other party's political achievements, he talked about the common people's gratitude to Mr. Wu in a very down-to-earth manner. What he said was sincere.

Who doesn't like to hear good things?Master Wu was in good health for this rainbow fart, and the other party smiled at Lu Xiuyuan.

"I'm from Dongshi Village, Linjie Province. We are half fellow villagers. After tomorrow's lecture, if you still don't understand anything in the article, you can come to Wu Manor to ask me to give you some pointers."

Hearing this, Lu Xiuyuan was very happy, the pie finally fell on him!

This meeting also doesn't care whether the other party is simply happy to see him or not, or wants to recruit people for his own camp, as long as he can achieve his goal anyway.

Master Wu has a wide range of knowledge, if the other party reads the article for him, maybe he will try to really make a breakthrough.

When he was happy, he quickly saluted and thanked him earnestly.

Master Wu received this gift and punished Han Xu for copying the book, and then he stood on the stage and continued to give lectures.

Now that Lu Xiuyuan has achieved his goal, naturally there is no need to continue to follow it, not to mention that he still agrees with some of the other party's views.

The two of them had the same thought, answered questions and complemented each other, and had a good time.

Happy days are always so short, the five days of study time will end in the blink of an eye, Lu Xiuyuan held the notes he made these days in his arms, and glanced at the academy with nostalgia in his eyes.

Such a good learning experience, to be honest, I am really reluctant.

Shen Congzhi next to him noticed the expression on his face and couldn't help smiling: "Brother Lu, why don't we sit in the teahouse for a while, and then continue the discussion on the topic just now?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiuyuan looked sideways and saw the sincerity on the other party's face, and smiled back at the other party, "Then respect is worse than obedience."

The two came to a small two-story tea house near the academy, sat by the window, looked at the cultural scene on the street outside, and began to discuss articles on people's livelihood issues.

Although the two of them have the same thoughts, they are good at different things. Compared with his wild background, Shen Congzhi's meticulous writing is the focus of Lu Xiuyuan's learning.

And although his foundation is weak, Shen Congzhi envies the sporadic brilliance in the article.

You teach me how to combine movement and stillness to describe the artistic conception, and I will teach you how to be as quick as a flash of inspiration. The two of them used tea instead of wine, feeding each other, drinking very happily.

The discussion lasted until sunset at the top of the western mountain, and the two reluctantly said goodbye.

Here Lu Xiuyuan was just about to go back by fanning the wind with his sleeves, when Shen Congzhi, who had gone a while behind him, caught up again.

"Brother Lu! Brother Lu stay a step!"

"Huh?" Hearing Shen Congzhi's voice, he quickly turned his head to look over, "Brother Shen, what's the matter?"

The other party came to Lu Xiuyuan sweating profusely, and looked at him with sparkling eyes, "I forgot to mention just now, at the end of the month, I will hold a chrysanthemum banquet with my junior brother, and I will invite many students from the Imperial Academy. The place will be in the Wu Mansion. Brother Lu must reward you with face!"

Although he didn't know why the place of the banquet was in the Wu Mansion, but he accepted the invitation happily.

"Thank you Brother Shen for the notification, Lu will definitely go there then!"

Because of the small sitting in the teahouse, when Lu Xiuyuan returned to the General's Mansion, it was already past dinner time.

When Shi Yunchen saw that he came back so late, he guessed that it was the last day of class, so he might go out with those people.

"I just came back at this point, did I eat outside?"

He shook his head, "I just chatted with Brother Shen in the tea house, and I haven't had dinner yet."

After Shi Yunchen heard this, he quickly ordered Nan Xing to heat up the dishes.

"The sun is already setting, why don't you invite someone to eat outside?" The other party couldn't help but babbled.

The two were close, and after hearing Shi Yunchen's complaint, he explained: "Brother Shen seems to have a strict family style, I haven't seen him eat outside, so forget it."

After finishing speaking, Lu Xiuyuan told the other party that he was going to attend a banquet at the Wu Mansion at the end of the month.

"It stands to reason that the banquet venue should be chosen elsewhere, not in the Wu Mansion." Shi Yunchen thought about the news he inquired before, and pondered for a moment, "Could it be that Shen Congzhi and the others are going to borrow Master Wu's venue to hold the Qushui Liushang Banquet? "

"Qushui Liucup?" Lu Xiuyuan had heard of this thing in Wang Xizhi's Lanting Collection Preface. Whoever stops in front of the cup will drink and compose poems.

"It seems to be quite interesting."

Shi Yunchen gave him an angry look: "Don't wear your rags then, let Nan Xing change you into a new brocade clothes."

Lu Xiuyuan looked down at the clothes on his body. Although they were a little plain, they were not too tattered.

Afraid that he might misunderstand, the other party added: "I heard from you that there were many Taixue students who also went there that day. Those people are either rich or expensive, and their clothes are too simple and inappropriate."

It turned out to be like this, Lu Xiuyuan just thought about what the theme of the drinking order would be that day, and before he had time to think about the clothes, he didn't expect that the other party had arranged it for him.

"Well, I listen to Ah Chen." He took Shi Yunchen's hand and shook it lightly, feeling relaxed.

Sure enough, it is good to have a partner, and many things can be considered for myself.

At the end of September, the weather outside was quite hot, and the two didn't care about the temperature. Holding hands, the distance was getting closer and closer.

Just when the two of them were about to get bored, Nan Xing, who had gone out just now, came back with a few plates of hot dishes.

"Uncle, uncle! It's time to eat!"

Harmful!

Lu Xiuyuan hurriedly let go of Shi Yunchen's hand, loosened it halfway, and realized belatedly that it was an engagement, not to mention that it was Nan Xing who was standing in front of him, and he immediately pulled him back confidently.

"It's boring to eat dinner alone, Ah Chen can have some with me."

Shi Yunchen was dragged by him to sit down together, ate some food with him, and then removed the dining table, and the two of them sat under the tree to enjoy the cool, and then went back to their respective rooms to wash and sleep.

Time passed quickly, and it was the end of October in a blink of an eye.

On the day of the banquet, he changed into the clothes that Shi Yunchen had prepared for him, and came to the Wu Mansion early to report.

After delivering the name card, the concierge led around several winding corridors before finally arriving at the venue where the banquet was held.

At the door, Shen Congzhi was instructing the servants to keep arranging the yard, when he saw Lu Xiuyuan's figure out of the corner of his eye, he hurriedly dragged another young man over to him.

"Brother Lu came early!"

Lu Xiuyuan smiled and cupped his hands at the other party, "I've been thinking about it day and night for so long, so why don't you come here early."

"Hahaha! Brother Lu isn't the first one yet." The other party smiled and said, "My junior's classmate came here at Maoshi."

Hearing this, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there would be someone more anxious than himself.

He looked around the courtyard, but couldn't find another student.

After Shen Congzhi finished speaking, he pushed the person beside him forward: "Brother Lu, let me introduce you, this is my junior brother Yang Weijian."

"Wei Jian, this is Brother Lu who I told you about before."

Lu Xiuyuan took a look at the other party, he was smaller than Shen Congzhi, and his face was also a baby face, he looked young, but at this moment he had an angry expression, and he didn't know what made him unhappy up.

"Brother Yang, hello, I heard Brother Shen mention it before I went down to Lu Xiuyuan, but now I see it, he is indeed young and handsome, with a dignified appearance."

Hearing this compliment, Yang Weijian couldn't help turning his head and curling his lips, but didn't speak.

"Junior brother?" Shen Congzhi frowned and looked at his little junior brother, "What's going on? Say hello quickly?"

Finally, under Shen Congzhi's urging, the other party reluctantly greeted him.

Lu Xiuyuan responded with a smile, and then continued talking to Shen Congzhi.

Yang Wei looked bored, and after squinting at him, he left and returned to the yard.

This little move was also noticed by Shen Congzhi next to him, and the other party smiled awkwardly, "Brother Lu, don't mind, my junior brother is a bit irritable, maybe he is in a bad mood today, and I will definitely teach him a lesson later."

"It's all right, kid." He waved his hands with a look of indifference.

But that being said, Lu Xiuyuan still felt sensitively that this little junior brother's emotions were obviously aimed at him.

It's just that the two of them haven't met each other very much, so where did I offend this person?

While Lu Xiuyuan was puzzled, Shen Congzhi had already led him to the courtyard, arranged a seat to sit down, and by the way recruited a young man to chat with him to pass the time.

While doing these things, he clearly felt that there were two eyes staring at him without leaving a trace behind him.

Um, did Yang Wei also see that he was better than Shen Congzhi, and then became jealous?

Lu Xiuyuan turned his head and followed his gaze. Yang Weijian was sitting with another person and didn't know what to say.

Withdrawing his gaze, he stopped paying attention to the things over there, but looked at the surrounding environment layout.

Looking at the winding ditches in front of him, the boy next to him was filling the ditches on both sides with fresh flowers and plants, and someone was injecting water upstream to measure the flow.

After these things are packed, the other people who received the invitation will almost come.

After being introduced by the host Shen Congzhi, Lu Xiuyuan guessed that not only the students of Taixue came here, but also many talents from other provinces.

He paid attention to the clothes, words and deeds of the people around him, and suddenly felt that this banquet was not easy. He had a hunch that there would definitely be many surprises this time.

The author has something to say: the cause of the epidemic, I am so busy with work, I would like to say sorry to everyone, and I will definitely do a better job and QAQ after this busy period
