I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 370 Xu Yuncai's Visit
The news of Song Mu's arrival in Chang'an spread like wildfire.

Song Mu didn't expect that after just one night, the scene in the entire Jiangnan West Road Guild Hall had changed.

The hall, which was relatively empty the day before, was full of students in robes and head coverings today.

They were all sitting in front of the hall drinking hot tea, but their eyes kept looking upstairs.

When Song Mu came out to have breakfast, they rushed up suddenly, scared Song Mu and quickly hid, but it was the oily shopkeeper Zhu who came out to relieve the siege.

Although Song Mu had disappeared for a whole year, and there were even various bizarre rumors during the period, but this did not affect Song Mu's status in the hearts of many students.

Especially after what Song Mu did in Jiangnan Dongdao, among the many young students, they praised Song Mu even more, and all kinds of stories about Song Mu were told casually.

The students gathered in the guild hall included local students from Chang'an, as well as study tours from various places, and even many students were waiting to take part in the exam.

What they have been looking forward to is that Song Mu can come to participate in this test, and they have even squatted here for a long time for this.

Now knowing that Song Mu is in the guild hall, some of them want to make friends, some want to ask what Song Mu has experienced this year, and some want Song Mu to discuss the way of learning with everyone like he was in Jinling back then.

Song Mu just went out to greet everyone, and then hid in the house with a confession.

It's not that Song Mu is showing off his arrogance, it's just that he will try it soon. Song Mu really doesn't want to promise anything, and the master needs more attention, so he really has no skills.

Fortunately, these students were still very restrained. Seeing Song Mu showing his face and saying hello, there was no movement, and they still endured not to come forward to knock on the door.

It's just the post in front of the door, which has been piled up in an instant.

"The students in Chang'an are also very eager."

Song Mu sat in the room, recalling the situation just now, and shook his head helplessly and sighed. Tao Fengming was sitting by the window on the side of the room at the moment, holding a hand stove and drinking hot tea. Said.

"These students regard you as a role model, so it's natural to behave like this, but before the exam, if you talk to them a few times, it will surely disperse a lot."

Song Mu nodded when he heard the words, and he was also planning in his mind what to do in the future to ease the situation.

In the afternoon, there was a surprise cry outside Song Mu's door, and a somewhat familiar voice came.

"Brother Song, have you really arrived in Chang'an?"

Song Mu was a little puzzled when he heard the voice just now, but immediately raised his eyebrows with some surprise on his face.

Song Mu immediately got up and went to open the door. After opening the door, he saw that the person standing at the door was Xu Yuncai, the young owner of Yingxuefang whom he had met in Yuzhang City.

Meeting friends in a foreign country is naturally kind.

"Brother Yuncai, long time no see."

Xu Yuncai, who was standing outside Song Mu's room at this moment, was wearing a pure white gown, and his whole person looked more serious and mature, which had changed a lot from before.

Xu Yuncai smiled and cupped his hands towards Song Mu, and said with a smile.

"It's been more than a year, Brother Song, you are still so approachable."

Song Mu smiled and asked Xu Yuncai to go in. Xu Yuncai was stunned when he saw Xu Yuncai with an old face. Song Mu explained with a smile, and the other party was also stunned.

"Speaking of which, it's also the first time I've seen Mr. Wang, and I didn't expect such a thing to happen."

Song Mu poured tea for Xu Yuncai, and Xu Yuncai joked with a smile.

"Brother Song, there are huge crowds of talented scholars below the guild hall. It took me a lot of effort to squeeze in here."

Song Mu grinned, and said helplessly at the moment.

"Song didn't expect to encounter such a situation when he came to Chang'an."

Xu Yuncai waved his hand, took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice.

"Brother Song is too modest. Thinking back, Brother Song was a blockbuster in the provincial examination, and his reputation has already spread all over the world. After I arrived in Chang'an from Yuzhang, I saw countless students flocking to your poems and articles."

"In those days, as long as your poems appeared in Tianxia Wenkan, there would be a lot of buyers in the city."

"The "Tianxia Wenkan" at the beginning of last year, your "Sapphire Case" and "Winter On Learning" were very popular!"

Saying this, Xu Yuncai showed even more emotion.

"Even in our Taixue, there are often brothers who comment on your articles and poems, arguing with red faces, of course there are mixed opinions."

When Song Mu heard this, he also showed surprise immediately, while Xu Yuncai looked at Song Mu and said it quite playfully.

"Brother Song, you may not know, what title do you have among Chang'an students now?"

"Song Shaosheng."

"The influence of your poetry is already comparable to that of a semi-saint. It is a new name given to you by those good students."

"However, it's better for Song Jieyuan to speak more fluently."

Song Mu looked calm and drank tea together.

"I don't care about these things, but Brother Xu came here today, and I just happened to ask Brother Xu about the things in Chang'an."

"Brother Song just asked, and I know everything."

Song Mu immediately turned his head to look at Tao Fengming next to him, and then asked Xu Yuncai.

"Brother Xu, I don't know if there is any famous doctor in the city. I want to submit a post to visit. Can I get summoned smoothly?"

After Song Mu said so, Tao Fengming looked over, Xu Yuncai glanced at the two of them, he was suddenly stunned, but at the moment he was also in deep thought.

"Physician Ma of the imperial hospital is old now, but he is still in the city. He has been an imperial physician all his life, maybe..."

"It's useless, they can only cure diseases in the world, and there is nothing I can do about it."

Tao Fengming interrupted the conversation between the two at the moment, and Song Mu was also taken aback when he heard this, with a somewhat urgent expression on his face.

But Tao Fengming had already closed his eyes and shook his head, Song Mu sighed helplessly.

Immediately, Song Mu changed the subject and asked.

"Then I don't know how the test will be going. I don't see any news in Tianxia Wenkan yet?"

Hearing what Song Mu said, Xu Yuncai grinned and shook his head as well.

"I don't know about this, but it's not only that, the people I know don't know about it."

"It seems to be because this year marks the 30th anniversary of Chongwen, the [-]th anniversary of His Majesty's ascension to the throne, and the [-]th birthday of the Empress Dowager."

Xu Yuncai said in a deep voice, and immediately said something to Song Mu in a low voice.

"I just heard the teacher say something by chance, saying that His Majesty wants to make great achievements and auspiciousness this year. This test is a good start at the beginning of the year, so the Tribute Academy has not yet made up its mind."

Song Mu nodded seriously when he heard this.

This year is indeed special. It seems that the exam questions will be a little different.

Seeing that Song Mu couldn't get any news about the examination, Song Mu turned to ask about the customs and customs in Chang'an City, as well as some official affairs.

Xu Yuncai had a lot of contact with this, so he also focused on it this time.

Just chatting, the other party changed the topic to a strange place, which surprised Song Mu, and then interrupted Xu Yuncai's speech.

"Brother Xu, speaking of it, I still have something to ask."

Song Mu said suddenly, Xu Yuncai also paused suddenly, and looked at Song Mu, Song Mu pointed his finger, and a stack of thick scrolls appeared on the table.

Xu Yuncai was surprised by Song Mu's miraculous method, but he immediately heard Song Mu explain.

"This is some insights from traveling abroad for more than a year. I have written some short stories, but I don't know if they can be published?"

"Stories? Books from the people?"

Xu Yun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but the next moment his face showed a look of great joy. At this moment, he got up and carefully picked up the scroll on the table, and looked at it carefully.

The stories on this stack of scrolls are naturally articles that Song Mu was determined to write before, and each sentence in it tells the extraordinary life of an ordinary person.

Among them are scholars, fishermen, hunters, farmers, blacksmiths, and many ordinary people in this world.

There are sad stories, weird stories, and stories that make people feel regretful and even enlightening.

During this period, fame and fortune, poverty and wealth, and suffering in the world are all there, which can be regarded as full of highlights.

Song Mu also kept writing, and finally wrote nearly forty stories.

Xu Yuncai was fascinated by these stories at this moment, and after a while, he slapped his thigh suddenly, looked up at Song Mu and said.

"These stories are really wonderful!"
