I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 201
"It turned out to be the students and instructors of the government school, please come inside!"

The shopkeeper glanced at Song Mu's waist card, and when he heard Song Mu introduce Tao Fengming, he immediately showed a bit of respect, and immediately bowed and stretched out his hand to signal the two to go in.

"The two came quite early, and there are still many vacant rooms for the two to choose from."

The shopkeeper named Mo Yun led the way in front of the two of them and helped them choose a room in the hall.

The guild hall is quite large, almost two-story small buildings, close to each other. It is also the accommodation of Jizhou business gangs and tourists on weekdays, but now a room has been cleaned up and reserved for Jizhou students who will come to take the exam.

Song Mu took a rough look, and immediately chose two sunny rooms, and asked the shopkeeper to cook some food.

The two were sitting in the lobby on the first floor drinking tea, looking around at this moment, Song Mu's face was a bit curious.

The location of this guild hall is quite good, outside is a small river that passes through the city, and there are two rows of willow trees planted on the bank of the river. This summer is when the cicadas are constantly singing, and the pedestrians on the street are in a hurry, which is quite charming.

Song Mu was thinking about this, but there was a rush of footsteps upstairs, and he saw a fat man in only his underwear hurrying down, and at the moment he was patting the railing of the stairs with the scroll in his hand.

"The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper, are you there!"

This is a short and stocky man, with messy hair tied up casually, and some ill-fitting underwear can't cover his belly.

Although he was holding a scroll in his hand, he didn't look like a scholar, but rather like a young man from a rich family who had eaten and drank a lot.

Hearing the other party's shout, shopkeeper Mo, who was overseeing the work in the kitchen, hurried out, and when he saw the other party, he also said with a wry smile.

"Mr. Pei, what's the matter with you?"

"The cicadas on the willow tree are really noisy, you, the shopkeeper, drive them away!"

Mr. Pei shouted with a face full of resentment, but the shopkeeper's face was full of bitterness when he heard it, so he could only say with his hands clasped.

"Mr. Pei, you've made it hard for me. There are countless cicadas flying around."

"That won't work. They're harassing me to study. If I don't pass the Juren exam, then I will blame you."

Shopkeeper Mo hastened to explain when he heard the repeated accusations.But Song Mu who heard this sentence turned his head a little startled, feeling that the other party was making trouble for no reason.

These words are so nonsense, how come a cicada sings, and finally hooked up with Kaojuren?
And even if it was really noisy, it shouldn't be blamed on the shopkeeper in the end.

"Mr. Pei, let's send someone to chase after him. I'll fry a plate of cicada pupae for you later. It's comfortable to eat in this summer. I'll let you go to relieve your anger."

Shopkeeper Mo is also slick and slick. At this moment, he not only accepted all the requests from the other party, but also made a show of kindness.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Mr. Pei nodded in satisfaction, but immediately saw Song Mu and the two of them.

It seemed that he frowned and thought of something again. Instead of leaving, he walked down and asked Song Mu with his hands clasped.

"I wonder who this brother is?"

Shopkeeper Mo wanted to come up to speak at this time, but Song Mu had already stood up and said to the other party.

"Back to Mr. Pei, I am also a Jizhou scholar who came to take the provincial examination, and I just arrived at the guild hall."

Hearing Song Mu's explanation, the other party became a lot more polite all of a sudden, and straightened his clothes in a serious manner, and cupped his hands at Song Mu again.

"It turned out to be a classmate from Jizhou. It's a pleasure to meet you. I don't know your name. It seems that you are not very old, right?"

Song Mu naturally smiled and cupped his hands.

"Yes, Xia Songmu, a ten-year native of Chongwen, came to take the provincial examination this time, and also wanted to try his luck."

Hearing what Song Mu said, the other party's expression suddenly changed a little. He straightened his back and looked at Song Mu like a senior looking at a junior, and spoke immediately.

"Ah? You are so young? Then you are afraid that you are going to come here on a high note, and come back disappointed. This country test is not just a play."

After speaking, the other party seemed to be quite proud, and introduced to Song Mu.

"A certain name is Pei Buguang. My father likes Gu Jian. He gave me this name. I am a student from Yongxin County. I was born in the first year of Chongwen. I was selected as a scholar at the age of 23. Now it is my third time to take the provincial examination."

Song Mu blinked when he heard this sentence. Hearing what he said, it seems that he is young and promising.

It's just that this name, Bu Guang is the name of an ancient sword, and logically speaking, it should be quite old-fashioned when used to name it, but it can be paired with this surname, which makes people laugh a little bit.

Seeing Song Mu's bewildered expression, Pei Buliao didn't care, and continued to speak.

"Hiss—but in this way, Brother Song seems to be a talent now, so he was selected as a scholar? No, it was last year, a 17-year-old scholar?"

This Pei Buguang seemed to have come to his senses, and was a little surprised at the moment. He looked Song Mu up and down, and was a little surprised.

"Brother Song's courage is commendable, but the content of the provincial examination is not ordinary. You are still young, so you can come to see the world. But you must also know that the way of literati is extremely difficult in this world, and there have never been so many. Reach the sky in one step, don't be overly ambitious."

Song Mu was a little ashamed when he heard that, but he bowed his hands and said at the moment.

"Thank you Brother Pei for your teaching, I will keep it in mind."

Seeing Song Mu acting like this, Pei Buguang seemed to be very pleased, he waved his hands proudly, and walked away with his head held high.

After going up the stairs again, Pei Buguang turned his head and asked Song Mu again.

"I don't know if the younger brother is studying at the county school in Shiyang County? Then I may know a few people."

Song Mu raised his hand and continued.

"It's not worth mentioning."

Pei Buguang listened, but immediately blinked, then flung his sleeves and went upstairs.

Shopkeeper Mo came over with the food at the moment, and with an embarrassed expression on his face, he said to Song Mu with his hands clasped.

"It made you two laugh. Mr. Pei came here after the new year and said he would study hard until the provincial examination. In the past few months, he has been studying hard in the house every day."

Song Mu, who had just sat down, was taken aback when he heard this, and asked in surprise.

"Young Master Pei has been here for six months? How could this be?"

Shopkeeper Mo also shook his head, puzzled.

"I don't know about this, but it seems that Mr. Pei also has a lot of family business, and he is generous with his actions. He is also very easy-going with us on weekdays. Maybe it's because the township exam is approaching, and he is a little anxious."

Song Mu also shook his head and picked up his job right now. The world is full of wonders, and the other party was able to live in the Jizhou Guild Hall for half a year, which is really a skill.

It's just that Song Mu was a little curious about studying hard behind closed doors for the past six months, but could he really win the exam?

Shopkeeper Mo greeted him a few times, but then he remembered something and asked Song Mu.

"My lord, did you just say your name is Song Mu?"

Song Mu was feeding Tao Fengming, and he nodded with a smile when he heard this sentence.

"Yes shopkeeper, I wonder what's wrong with this?"

The shopkeeper who heard this sentence was suddenly frustrated at the moment, thinking that the other party seemed to have introduced it when he entered the door just now, but he didn't notice it.

Just now, the other party had a conversation with Mr. Pei, and he saw that he was a polite scholar, so I remembered the other party's name.

Shopkeeper Mo looked at Song Mu again with some disbelief, and suddenly took a deep breath.

The next moment, Song Mu saw the other party bent down to go under the counter, not knowing what he was doing, and came out with a booklet after a while.

"You said that you came from Jizhou Prefecture School, so could it be that you were the head of the court examination case in Jizhou Prefecture last year?"

As the shopkeeper said so, he had already walked in front of Song Mu, and the booklet in his hand had also been opened, which was a wrinkled "Tianxia Wenkan".

The other party unfolded the pages of the book in front of Song Mu, and on it was Song Mu's "Ye Huai Gu".

"You are Song Mu who wrote this poem?"

Shopkeeper Mo said quite excitedly, his face flushed a lot immediately, Song Mu who saw this scene was a little puzzled at the moment, but still nodded with a smile.

In this way, the other party was even more ecstatic, and the joy on his face was beyond words.

"I didn't expect you to come here!"

The shopkeeper was a little excited, and continued to speak with great interest.

"You may not know how much trouble your poems caused in the provincial capital, and even now, your poems are being sung everywhere."

"And your poems have been published in "Tianxia Wenkan" for six consecutive months. It can be said that your poems are well-known, and it has given us Jizhou people a bit of face!"

"My lord, please don't refuse. You will be exempted from the room fee in this guild hall!"

Shopkeeper Mo said so, and even asked the waiter to add some dishes to Song Mu. Song Mu quickly got up and refused, but at this time, there were drums beating outside the door.

"Report, Young Master Song of the Song Mansion in Xicheng writes another famous sentence! The poems are divided into four parts! Entered Wen Pavilion!"

Several people dressed as servants passed by the door of the guild hall beating gongs and drums, and immediately attracted Song Mu's attention.
