I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 51

On August [-]th, the day to set off for the Fucheng Institute finally arrived.

Song Mu woke up as usual to do his morning reading, while his second uncle, Song Liangda, and Mrs. Zhu started to help Song Mu pack his things, and kept stuffing things into Song Mu's luggage.

"The new shoes made for Mu Ge'er a few days ago are soft and breathable, and they will be comfortable to wear in the examination room."

Mrs. Zhu stuffed a pair of thick thousand-ply-soled boots into Song Mu's bag, with a look of joy on his face, Song Liangda also nodded, and then yelled at Song Mingwei.

"Yaya, go and get the bag of preserved fruit that Dad bought yesterday, then Mu Ge'er can also chew on the road to relieve fatigue."

After the second uncle and the second aunt were busy, Song Mu finished today's recitation task in the courtyard, and immediately walked back to the room, watching the second uncle and the two still stuffing things into their bags. Hurry up and go over there.

"Uncle, Aunt, that's enough. I'll be back in about half a month, and I won't need so many things."

"You have prepared so many things in the past few days, how can I take them with you?"

"Not much, not much, Mu Geer, anyway, you all go by car, and you can take all these things."

Seeing this, Song Mu pursed his lips, took a bookcase next to him, and tidied it up, before looking at the two of them again.

"Uncle, Auntie, I will write to you when I arrive in Fucheng, so you don't have to worry too much."

Song Liangda's expression was even more touched when he heard these words, and he nodded again and again.

"Okay, okay, Brother Mu, let's not worry, you're still young anyway, we know it's not easy for you to be a scholar, so don't feel pressured."

Song Liangda soothed, but Zhu Shi said beside him.

"Scholarship is also important. Mu Ge'er will definitely pass the exam."

As the two of them said this, Yaya also came over. The little girl's big eyes flickered, and she handed Song Mu a bag of preserved fruits in her hand.

"Brother, you have to tell Yaya what you saw in Fucheng when you come back. You didn't tell me the last time you went, and they all want to hear it."

Song Mu touched Yaya's head with a smile, but he didn't reach out to take the preserved fruit, but just said to Yaya.

"Okay, big brother promised Yaya, and I will bring back the snacks from Fucheng for Yaya when the time comes."

"Okay."

Yaya's eyes suddenly became a line of laughter, and her face was full of joy.

At this time, shouts came from outside, the carriage of Kong Zong's family had already arrived at the door, Song Mu looked at the second uncle, and several people came out with their things.

Outside the courtyard, Kong Zong, who was wearing a robe, also came in to help carry things, but Song Mu repeatedly refused and said softly.

"Brother Kong, I will trouble you this time."

"Where is that? Didn't we agree a long time ago that everyone will go together, and we just happened to see the scenery and chat about articles along the way!"

Kong Zong said with a smile, and immediately helped to get the things into the car, and Song Liangda was also busy, and his short and fat body was sweating all at once.

Finally, the second uncle and three people stood at the door, looking at Song Mu, with different expressions on their faces, Yaya was full of smiles, Zhu's eyes were full of anticipation, and Song Liangda was a little sad.

"Brother Mu, Second Uncle...will not go to the gate of the city to see you off, but wait here for your return. When we come back, we two will have another drink to catch up."

It took a while for Song Liangda to speak, with a gloomy expression on his face.

Song Mu naturally knew that it was because Song Liangda was afraid that he would lose control of his emotions, and his expression was a bit frustrated at the moment.

Looking at the weather-beaten second uncle, even though they didn't get along for a long time, Song Mu could really feel the second uncle's care for him in every way. He may not be good at expressing it, but he always put Song Mu in the most important position.

So Song Mu looked solemn at the moment, suddenly lifted up his robe, and knelt down towards Song Liangda.

"Mu Ge'er, what are you doing, absolutely not, men have gold under their knees!"

Seeing this, Song Liangda hurried up to help, but Song Mu kowtowed hard.

"Uncle, Song Mu will definitely do his best to revive our Song family's past glory, and never let down the expectations of father and second uncle!"

"Okay, good boy, Second Uncle never misunderstood you. With you, the Song family will surely be brilliant in the future. You... get up." With tears in his eyes, Song Liangda helped Song Mu get up, and Kong Zong who was watching from the side Also solemn.

Song Mu got up, saluted Song Liangda again, and then got into the carriage with a determined face.

On the carriage, Kong Zong handed Song Mu a piece of silk handkerchief to wipe the dust off his forehead. Song Mu touched his face, and said to Kong Zong in a somewhat awkward manner.

"Brother Kong, I'm a bit abrupt today."

"Brother Song, why did you say this? Loyalty and filial piety come first. What Brother Song does is the words and deeds of a gentleman."

The carriage wobbled to the south gate, and Jin Changwu and the others were already waiting here with soldiers.

Because of what happened in Shiyang County a few days ago, the waters of the Ganjiang River are still under martial law, Song Mu and others can no longer go to Fucheng by boat, they can only take the land route, crossing mountains and ridges.

At this moment, there are already many students from the county school gathered here, and at this moment, countless people from Shiyang County are flocking here.

Song Mu and Kong Zong got off the carriage, and Jin Changwu also stepped forward. Song Mu hurriedly saluted, but Jin Changwu waved his hand.

"Everyone, today the students from Shiyang County are going to the Fucheng Institute to take an exam. I am also here to wish you a successful start. When you come back triumphantly, I will welcome you from ten miles away and clean up the dust for you!"

"It will live up to the expectations of adults!"

A group of students bowed and said at this moment, their voices were resounding, and the common people were quite shocked.

This is the most important day in each county every year besides the traditional festivals. Whether it is the government examination or the hospital examination, there are people lining up to see them off.

A group of scholars will go to the examination room, get titles on the gold list, and achieve the road of literati.

These students carry the expectations of their parents, as well as the expectations of all the people in Shiyang County.

"Okay, let's go, facing the rising sun to the place of victory!"

The sleeves of Jinchang's military officer's robe were waving with arrogance, and he pointed his finger in the direction of the southern capital city. Firecrackers sounded, and the big bell at the entrance of the city began to ring.

In the faint smoke of gunpowder, countless students stepped out of the city gate with the sound of bells, and started another unforgettable journey in life.

……

The carriage was bumping and it was noon. The students who had been out for several hours were resting at the entrance of a small village.

Master Xun was calling for a few scholars to help with the meal, and Song Mu also got out of the car at this moment, stretching his muscles and bones.

Song Mu first looked around, said hello to the companion next to him, and then found a place to solve his internal emergency.

The road in ancient times was so bumpy, and the carriage did not have any anti-vibration system. Along the way, Song Mu felt that his butt was about to be smashed into tofu brains, and his footsteps were still a little shaking at this moment.

The situation of other people is not much better, and many people are even willing to walk halfway, but fortunately, everyone is a scholar with a good physique, so they can hold on.

After Song Mu finished his convenience, he walked back and sat down on the bluestone slab under the old tree. Kong Zong handed over a piece of dry food and a gourd filled with water.

"Brother Song, let's have something to eat, we still have to walk a long way to reach the post house where we will stay tonight."

Song Mu nodded, took something to eat, and looked around. Everyone was pounding their legs to relax, eating and chatting.

This time, everyone has to relax a lot. After all, they have also gone to Fucheng to participate in the government test before, and now they are somewhat familiar with the scenery outside Shiyang County.
Song Mu glanced at the resting crowd, but saw a person standing beside the carriage parked in the distance, holding a piece of pancake in his hand, and was sending it to his mouth one by one.

And beside him, no one approached to talk.

That was Pan Wenhao.

On the night of the turmoil in Shiyang County, Pan Shun was demonized, and at the last moment, Shi Bufeng sucked all the literary energy from his body, and when he was found the next day, he was already a petrified mummy.

When the Pan family heard the sad news, they immediately cried, the mother and son were weeping uncontrollably.

But after all, the Pan family has worked in Shiyang County for many years, and now that Pan Wenhao is a child again, life will be able to live in the future.

It's just that Pan Wenhao no longer has the capital to bully others.

He also became more withdrawn as if he had lost his soul.

Seeing Song Mu looking at Pan Wenhao, Kong Zong also said with emotion.

"He knows this time. What is missing is really gone."

"Now the Pan family can only rely on him, even if they don't get a scholar, they can still be a rich man, but I heard that his mother insisted on letting him get the honor, and now he is in the top seven, so he followed. "

When Kong Zong said this, there was no sympathy in his words, Song Mu immediately looked away, and his face was calm.

It's not my turn to pity Pan Wenhao.

He still has a mother who loves him and is also a wealthy family. His current situation is a hundred times more tragic than his.

At this time, Song Mu remembered the impulsive bet with the other party. If he could be admitted to the scholar, he might not pester himself anymore. up.

Song Mu shook his head, put the cake in his hand into his mouth, and then ate it with water, enjoying the shade for a while under the big tree.
