I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 109
When Master Xun notified everyone to disembark, all the scholars put on Chinese clothes, and each of the twelve scholars put on their uniforms. In just a moment, the momentum of the people changed immediately. , the expression in his eyes has become more respectful at this moment.

The owner of the ship was also smiling, but he felt a little distressed for no reason. He was happy that his ship could carry twelve scholars at a time, which was enough to brag about in front of outsiders. All the scholars went down here, and the following Jiang Dao seemed to have lost a protective barrier.

Song Mu and the others got off the boat at this time, and the busy boatman on the pier was looking up at these scholars at the moment, all of them straightened their backs, and were suddenly stunned.

And soon, there was the sound of beating drums from the East City Gate, and then the city gate began to slowly open.

Teams of soldiers came out of it, and behind them, there were continuous sounds of gongs and drums.

This morning, the area around the east city wall of Shiyang County seems to have become lively in an instant. Many people inside and outside the city heard the sound, and they are also puzzled at this moment.

However, officials soon began to publicize it all over the city.

"The students who participated in the college examination in Shiyang County are back!"

One sentence immediately made the entire Shiyang county boil, and countless scholars went out at this moment, heading for the east city wall.

If it was in previous years, there would never be such a situation, but this year's hospital examination, Shiyang County's results are really surprising.

Twelve scholars, this is the first time in Shiyang County that a double-digit number of scholars appeared in a courtyard test in many years.

You must know that this prefecture has a population of one million, and there are only 40 or [-] scholars who can appear in two courtyard examinations in three years.

Among the ten counties in Shiyang County, one-tenth of the number of people was scored in one exam.

For Shiyang County, whose writing style has always been weak, this time it can be said to be completely elated.

When the news came back, the officials and people of all sizes in Shiyang County were overjoyed.

What is even more surprising is that the case of the Jizhou government court trial this time also appeared in Shiyang County.

With several good news superimposed, the entire Shiyang County is almost full of joy these days, and now hearing that the students who went to the exam have returned, it immediately makes people cheer.

The sound of gongs and drums from the official messenger rang throughout Shiyang County. Song Liangda, who was about to go out to work, also heard the news on the street, and immediately tugged on the sleeve of an official messenger to confirm it.

"Second Master Song, you can't be wrong. This is an order issued by the county magistrate. Now all the officials in the county are at the East City Wall Wharf!"

Seeing Song Liangda who was in a daze, the officer smiled warmly at the moment. After all, no one in the city knows that Song Liangda's nephew Song Mu is the leader of the court examination.

Today's Song Mu has some prestige among the scholars in the city, and he is regarded as the next Shiyang County Juren and Jinshi.

Hearing what the officer said, Song Liangda also clapped his hands again and again, couldn't bear his footsteps, and ran towards the house like a madman.

Not long after, Song Liangda's family of three hurried to the east city wall.

Under the east wall, Song Mu and the others had already stood still. Under the leadership of Master Xun, they were standing still and waiting for the arrival of Jin Changwu and the others.

Not long after, the officials of Jin Changwu and Shiyang County had already come to the front, only Master Jiaoyu was still in Fucheng, escorting the Sui Kao.

Jin Changwu hurriedly came from the city gate in a red robe, his face was full of joy at the moment, seeing Song Mu and others, he walked a little faster. ,

"I apologize to you all. I thought you would be able to come yesterday, but now I can't meet you ten miles away."

Jin Changwu stepped forward, and immediately bowed his hands to everyone, with a very joyful expression on his face. At this moment, his eyes swept over a dozen scholars in student uniforms behind Master Xun, and his face was even more joyful.

Naturally, everyone didn't think that it was okay if Jin Changwu didn't fulfill his promise. The parents and officials were able to come out to greet him at the pier early in the morning, which already made everyone flattered.

At this moment, everyone also saluted Jin Changwu one after another, and Master Xun also spoke to Jin Changwu with a moved face.

"Luckily, the humble job does not disgrace the fate. The people in the hospital examination are all safe, and there are 12 people in the list, ranking first in Jizhou Prefecture!"

Jin Changwu laughed even more when he heard this sentence, and the joy on his face was undisguised.

"Okay, okay, Master has worked really hard. We in Shiyang County have breathed a sigh of relief this time. Not only Jizhou Prefecture, but also several surrounding prefectures. A county can produce more than a dozen scholars. Then It’s also very rare!”

"Today I'm holding a banquet in the Yingke Building, everyone is coming!"

With a big wave of Jin Changwu's hand, everyone's faces were full of smiles, and at this time Jin Changwu turned his head to look at the people in the field, and his eyes stayed on Song Mu standing beside Master Xun, with a smile on his face. The meaning is a little more intense.

Jin Changwu stepped forward, looked at Song Mu for a while, and nodded unconsciously.

"Not bad, not bad, Song Mu, you are such a handsome young man, not bad not bad!"

Song Mu naturally smiled and cupped his hands. At this moment, Shiyang County officials, large and small, also stepped forward, all smiling. When they saw Song Mu, their eyes widened a little, as if they wanted to remember Song Mu. The number Mu.

And more and more people gathered on the pier. At this moment, the team invited by the officials began to beat drums and cheer, and the scene was extremely lively.

Shiyang County is still under semi-martial law. After a simple blood test, Song Mu and others also walked into the city.

Just after passing through the thick city gate, Song Mu heard an excited voice from the street beside him.

"Mu Geer!"

The voice was trembling with excitement, and sentimental with joy. Song Mu quickly raised his head, followed the voice, and saw the short and sturdy second uncle standing in the crowd with Yaya in his arms, and the second aunt next to him He also waved the handkerchief towards himself.

Song Mu's face twitched, and he immediately put on his uniform, and went directly to the direction to send Song Liangda off.

When he was in front of Song Liangda, Song Mu's eyes were also a little red, and he bowed his hands and bowed his knees.

But this time Song Liangda had already rushed up first, and the uncle and nephew embraced each other. Song Liangda forcibly grabbed Song Mu who was about to kneel down, and looked at Song Mu carefully.

"Okay, okay, Mu Geer, it's good to be back."

Saying this, Song Liangda's face was full of joy and sadness, and he rubbed Song Mu's sleeves with both hands.

"This baby uniform really fits Mu Ge'er, our old Song family... can be regarded as a scholar again."

Song Liangda was moved by what he said, and couldn't help crying.

"Brother Izumi knows, and he will be happy. Your grandpa and great-grandpa will be happy too."

Hearing Song Liangda's almost choked voice at this moment, Song Mu also said with a moved face.

"Second Uncle, Song Mu will definitely live up to the expectations of his ancestors, and he will definitely come back with a good reputation in the future!"

After Song Liangda heard this sentence, he burst into tears, as if he wanted to release all the aggrievedness he had felt before.

Mrs. Zhu also came up holding Yaya at this moment, and both of them hugged Song Mu and wept bitterly. The eight or nine-year-old Yaya didn't know why, but just stared at the one in front of her who was wiping tears, but became even more handsome big brother.

At this moment, there are officials coming up to maintain order. Although several people were crying on the street, no one felt that it was inappropriate, because at this moment on this street, some scholars were crying with their parents in their arms.

That was tears of joy, this is their right, they have studied hard for so many years, until today, they can finally be called literati.

Beside them, countless people are also showing envy at this moment, and they are congratulating repeatedly. Especially around Song Mu, there are many people gathered around. They have long known that the Song family has a case. This kind of scholar is the first, and he is already a favorite in the county.
