[Chapter 2064 Jie Yuan]
Two days after the juren exam was released, while Song Yan and Cao Jing were waiting in the provincial government for the announcement, suddenly a disciple of the Yunshui Sword Sect came to the door and sent a letter to Cao Jing to go back.
The letter asking her to return to the sect was written by Chen Yuniang herself, so even if Cao Jing had hundreds of thousands who were unwilling to go back.
“Junior brother, I’m leaving, you must take good care of yourself!” Cao Jing said with a face full of reluctance. After getting along during this period of time, she had already developed some kind of affection. If she hadn’t known that Song Yan already had a wife, she would have I’m afraid she can’t help but express her feelings to Song Yan.
Song Yan nodded: “Senior sister, be careful on the road. After the list is released, I will rush back to the Yunshui Sword Sect as soon as possible!”
“Then I’ll go!”
Cao Jing bit her lip lightly, but the reluctance in her eyes was even stronger.
Seeing this, Song Yan suddenly took a step forward, took her directly into his arms, and whispered in her ear: “Senior sister, you all know that you want to be a junior brother, if you don’t think that I already have a wife in my family, I will too. I can marry you!”
Song Yan has never been entangled in the convenience of relationships. Since Cao Jing has feelings for him, he also likes each other very much, so why should he worry so much.
Cao Jing, on the other hand, was completely stunned, her pretty cheeks flushed red, and then she broke free from Song Yan’s embrace and ran outside.
Seeing this scene, Song Yan was a little stunned, and secretly asked, what does Senior Sister mean?
But it didn’t take long for Cao Jing to turn back and say shyly, “Junior Brother, I’ll be waiting for you at the Yunshui Sword Sect.”
As soon as the voice fell, the other party left again.
Seeing this, Song Yan couldn’t help showing a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Two days passed in a flash.
This time, Song Yan was not busy looking at the ranking list, because he knew that with his talent, it would not be a problem to pass the test. The tastes are different, and the top names selected have more or less their own preferences.
Time passed slowly.
Song Yan was sitting downstairs in the inn drinking tea leisurely. When he received the test card, he registered the inn where he was staying at the school’s yamen. If he really succeeded, someone would naturally come to announce the good news.
After half an hour.
There was a sound of gongs and drums, and then, four yamen came straight to the inn. When the shopkeeper saw it, he didn’t understand that it was a scholar who lived in his inn.
In this regard, he is quite happy, living in his inn, and it is rumored that more students will come to live in his inn in the future.
“May I ask if Master Song Yan from Huangshan County lives here?”
A clerk asked the shopkeeper a question.
“It’s just Song Yan!”
Song Yan got up and said with a smile, he knew that he was hit.
“Congratulations to Song Master High School’s success!”
When the four yamen saw this, they hurriedly stepped forward with flattering expressions on their faces.
Hearing the yamen’s words, there was an uproar in the inn, especially the shopkeeper’s face was smiling like a chrysanthemum, and he was even thinking about changing his inn into a Jie Yuan inn.
“You actually know Yuan in the middle?”
Song Yan secretly said, as expected, but also unexpected.
He accepted the good news with a smile, then took out four ingots of gold and stuffed them into the four yamen, and said with a smile, “You guys have worked hard too, so just pick up and buy tea!”
Looking at the gold in their hands, the four yamen were overjoyed, and they thanked each other because Song Yan gave them five taels of gold per ingot, equivalent to fifty taels of silver.
Their annual salary is only 20 taels. I didn’t expect that they would get 50 taels as a reward for a good news. This Duke Jie Yuan’s shot was too generous.
“Gong Xie Yuan, don’t forget to visit Lord Xuezheng!”
Before leaving, a yamen reminded in a low voice.
“Thank you for reminding me!” Song Yan nodded. These days, the most reliable relationship in the officialdom is between teachers and students. According to the rules, the chief examiner this time is Cai Yun and Cai Zixiao. Then, he is the teacher of this session. This All the juren in the province should call him a teacher.
Of course, this is just a title, and you still need to visit the manor in person in this session. If the other party sees the right eye, you can be accepted as a real disciple.
Although this Cai Zixiao was only an academic and political student in a province, his influence in the Wei Kingdom was still very strong. He was born in the Hanlin and taught the current emperor, so he could be said to be an imperial teacher.
Moreover, after this exam, his tenure will be expired, and it is very likely that he will be dropped into the capital, and will serve in the Sixth Division.
Therefore, if you want to enter the officialdom, this is definitely a very thick thigh.
However, Song Yan has no intention of officialdom, and it doesn’t matter whether he is a teacher or not, but he will still visit Cai Zixiao’s mansion, because this is a rule, and he doesn’t want to break the rule, otherwise, his reputation will stink in the future.
With a thought, Song Yan called up the system interface, and his eyes fell on the column of luck.
This time, I got a Jie Yuan, and my luck actually increased by more than 200 points.
“Congratulations to Master Song for Jie Yuan in high school, this is your room fee these days, please don’t dislike it, Master Song!” The shopkeeper came over and offered two silver coins in both hands.
“What do you mean, shopkeeper?”
Song Yan asked.
“Master Song can stay in this shop, it’s a blessing for the small shop, how dare the villain charge Master Song’s room fee.” The shopkeeper said flatteringly.
“Well, the money will be treated as if I invite the guests in the store to add two good dishes to each table!” Song Yan thought for a while.
As soon as these words came out, they were greeted with applause from all the customers in the store.
at this time.
A group of scholars walked in, led by Zhou Qi, who had met once in the Wei Mansion.
“Congratulations to Brother Song High School Jie Yuan!”
As soon as he arrived, Zhou Qi said with a smile on his face.
“Brother Zhou, you’re welcome, please take a seat!”
Song Yan said quickly.
Then, the scholars who came with Zhou Qi reported themselves to the portal. They are all candidates for this issue, and they are in the middle of the competition. In the future, everyone will be considered as a classmate.
“Brother Song, the younger brother has already prepared the wine in the Zhuangyuan Building, and please invite Brother Song to show his face!” Zhou Qi said again.
“If that’s the case, let’s go!”
Song Yan nodded without refusing, and then, surrounded by everyone, went to the Zhuangyuan Building together.
Wei House.
After hearing the news that Song Yanzhong learned about Yuan, Mr. Wei sighed and couldn’t help saying: “This Song Yan is really both civil and military. It’s a pity, it’s a pity, my life is bad!”
If Song Yan didn’t have a wife, even if he didn’t join the family, he would have married his daughter to him. It’s a pity that Song Yan already has a wife. If the other party is a scholar, it’s okay to divorce his wife, but now he understands Yuan, if he divorces again His wife, I am afraid that he will leave a dirty life, so he knows that his daughter is completely useless.
Inside the embroidery building.
Wei Xiuyun was reading with a book of poems in his hands, when a maid hurried over: “Miss, Miss, Song Gongzi has fallen, and it’s Jie Yuan!”
Hearing this, although Wei Xiuyun was happy for Song Yan, he was a little bit sour.
It was already three o’clock in the afternoon when I returned from the Zhuangyuan Building.
Song Yan, who was full of alcohol smell, suddenly shuddered, and the alcohol smell all over his body suddenly dissipated, but the surrounding air was filled with a strong smell of wine.
Then he changed his clothes and went to the Cai Mansion.
When he came to the Cai Mansion to hand in the post, he was led into a hall by the servants, and there were already dozens of people sitting in the hall.
“What’s the name of Xiongtai?”
As soon as Song Yan was seated, a jury took the initiative to ask.
“I’m going to Song Yan.”
Song Yan smiled.
“It turned out to be Duke Xie Yuan, long-awaited, long-awaited!” The man said quickly, “Brother Song, in Liu Heng, Xiaquxi County.”
“Brother Liu is polite, by the way, these… are all here to visit Master Cai?” Song Yan asked.
“Isn’t it, with so many people, I’m afraid it won’t be our turn until it gets dark!”
Liu Heng said with some resentment.
At this moment, a family member came in: “Who is Song Yan and Song Gongzi, my family has a request!”
“It’s down!” Song Yan stood up.
“Young Master Song, come with Xiao!” Jiading said enthusiastically.
“You can see Mr. Cai as soon as you come, this is true!”
“That’s right, I’ve been waiting for two hours, why can that person see Mr. Cai right away!”
“Stupid, didn’t you hear his name?” Liu Heng said with contempt.
“It’s not Song…!”
Immediately, the man was dumbfounded, because he remembered that this time Jie Yuan was just called Song Yan, but seeing that Song Yan was too young, they didn’t think about that.
The people who were originally uneasy in their hearts, after knowing that Song Yan was Xie Yuan, all calmed down. It was Xie Yuan, and it was not wrong for Mr. Cai to give priority to meeting.
Following the famous master Ding, Song Yan soon met the third grade Dayuan, Cai Zixiao, a provincial school administrator.
It’s just that the other party was writing at the moment, so Song Yan didn’t bother and just stood there waiting.
After half an hour, Cai Zixiao put down the brush, and then waved to Song Yan: “Song Yan, how about this old man’s calligraphy?”
Song Yan walked over, his eyes fell on the rice paper, the words were written with a stylus and a silver hook, and the force penetrated the back of the paper, but it gave him a feeling of discontinuity and incoherence.
“How?” Cai Zixiao asked again.
Song Yan didn’t say anything, but looked at Cai Zixiao, and after a while after pondering, he said, “The word is a good word, but…!”
Having said that, Song Yan paused.
“But it doesn’t matter!” Cai Zixiao waved his hand.
Song Yan said again: “If each character in the font is very good, but if you look at it together, it looks quite incoherent, intermittent, and lacks energy!”
“Haha, you really have good eyesight…cough!”
Suddenly, Cai Zixiao coughed violently.
Seeing this, Song Yan suddenly stepped forward and slapped his palm on his vest. Cai Zixiao, who had been coughing heavily, suddenly felt that his whole body was smooth and his breathing was unusually comfortable.
“This is?”
Cai Zixiao looked at Song Yan in amazement.
Song Yan hurriedly said: “Please don’t blame the students for their reckless sins, Master Cai. I will learn a little about medical science and martial arts. The palm of my hand just helped the adults to relieve the stasis of the meridians in the lungs!”
Cai Zixiao smiled and said, “What’s the point? To tell you the truth, this disease has been with this old man for more than ten years, but recently it has become more and more serious!”
“If the adults don’t dislike it, the students can help the adults resolve this stubborn disease!”
Hearing this, Cai Zixiao was greatly moved and said with a smile, “Song Yan, are you willing to worship this old man as your teacher!”
“Song Yan, the student, meets the teacher!”
Song Yan hurriedly greeted Cai Zixiao with an apprenticeship ceremony.
The other party was overjoyed and personally helped him up.
“You don’t have any words yet?” Cai Zixiao asked with a smile on his face.
“Never!”
“Well, I’ll give you a word as a teacher. What do you think, Ziyu?”
“Ziyu likes it very much, thank you teacher for the words!”
An hour later, Song Yan and Cai Zixiao walked out of the study together, and instructed the servants: “This officer has accepted a disciple, come here, prepare a banquet!”
