A powerful minister of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 80 Young Su Xunyou
Shi Jie also showed great alienation towards Song Xuan and others.

He also wanted to become a Jinshi, so he didn't want too many things to affect him.

When he entered the courtyard just now, he was actually quite certain that Song Xuan, who was so indecisive, would not be able to pass the entrance exam to the academy.

After all, people only have so much energy.

There are very few people in the world who are both civil and military, and it is difficult for one to appear in several generations.

Tao Hong and others didn't pay much attention to Shi Jie.

They all experienced hardships in their childhood, and it was not easy for them to follow Song Xuan and have the good life they have today.

Who the hell wants to go back to the past?

Especially since Song Xuan is still in his growth stage, he will surely have a brighter future when he becomes an official in the future.

The brothers suffered all the hardships in their lives when they were young.

From now on, I will live a more prosperous life.

As for pretentious behavior like Shi Jie's, they all look down on it.

Everyone wants to move up in "class".

The next morning arrived.

Song Xuan and others did not call Shi Jie for breakfast. After quickly finishing their breakfast, they went directly to the academy to check their seats.

Before the sun comes out.

In fact, Zhang Fangping had a very lively personality, but when he saw Song Xuan's nonchalant look, and that although Bao Zheng was hit hard, there was no excitement on his face, he calmed down.

Song Xuan stood on Zhuangyuan Bridge and saw that the wall of Yingtianfu Academy was already filled with students.

They were whispering to each other, all discussing where to sit, and even wondering if they could run into anyone they knew.

"Hey, I saw Brother Twelve's name."

"So he left Lema Town and really came to take the entrance exam for the academy."

"With so many people, I'm afraid they won't be able to pass the exam like us."

These were the top students who were studying at the Song family private school. They had never expected that so many students would come to take the exam.

In this way, wouldn’t this squeeze out a large number of places for local students?
But these people did not dare to object loudly and just digested it silently.

As for the students around them, such as those from Zhao's private school, they were even more dismissive of Song Xuan's application.

Just because Song Shier is talented in business doesn't mean he is also talented in studying.

If Song Xuan was really a child prodigy, he should have been admitted to the academy long ago.

But this voice was drowned out by more discussions.

Everyone planned to come over while the weather was cooler to check out the seating arrangements before discussing anything else.

Bao Zheng wanted to lead the way, but Song Xuan got there first. He unceremoniously cut a path through the crowd and led Zhang Fangping through it.

After walking around for a long time, Song Xuan finally saw his name, which was marked behind it: Room C, Room 20.

The use of capitalized numbers was not widely promoted until Zhu Yuanzhang dealt with the Guo Heng case.

Zhang Fangping was in the tenth seat in Room A, and Bao Zheng was in the eleventh seat in Room D. Everyone was separated.

As for Shi Jie's name, Song Xuan didn't intend to look at it. He turned around and unexpectedly bumped into a student.

Song Xuan quickly helped him up, fearing a stampede would occur: "Sorry, what's your name? Let me help you take a look."

"Thank you, my name is Su Xun."

Song Xuan responded, turned around again to look at the list, but his brows were slightly raised.

In a flash, the name Su Xun popped into Song Xuan's mind.

Could it be Su Dongpo’s father?

Song Xuan turned slightly to let Su Xun see him clearly: "Su Xun, room C, thirteen." "Thank you."

Su Xun also saw his seat clearly, and followed Song Xuan out of the crowd.

In just a short while, sweat broke out on the heads of several people.

"Don't you know your brother's name yet?" Su Xun asked proactively.

"My name is Song Xuan, the twelfth of my family. I'm from Lema Town, Ningling County. I moved to Song City a month ago."

"My name is Su Xun, the third of the three, from Meishan, Meizhou. I left home to visit the Central Plains. I happened to come across this place recruiting students, so I signed up to take the exam."

Su Xun couldn't help but participate in such a grand event.

Song Xuan confirmed that the young man in front of him was Su Xun, one of the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties. He had not yet married or had children, and Su Shi and his brother were not yet born.

In particular, Su Xun was a wanderer at a young age and liked to wander around.

His father once spent three years trying to change Su Xun and forced him to sit in the school, but it was no avail. So he simply let him go out to study, broaden his horizons, and encounter setbacks, so that he could figure out the truth of life on his own.

With his father's financial support, Su Xun was not satisfied with staying in Sichuan.

I have wandered around the Central Plains, Shaanxi, and even Jiangxi.

His spending is particularly suitable for college students' living expenses.

They spend lavishly at the beginning of the month, count their money in the middle of the month, and when they have little money left at the end of the month, they return home in tattered clothes and covered in dust.

Now was the first time that Su Xun, fifteen years old, went out to study. He chose to come to the Central Plains to broaden his horizons.

He happened to come across the Yingtianfu Academy joining in the event, so of course he wanted to participate.

Whether you pass the exam or not is another matter. What matters is your participation. You can brag about it to your friends at home when you get home.

At this moment, the heroic Su Xun immediately said:

"Twelve Brother, you just helped me. I'd like to invite you to Qinglou for a meal. I can't afford Fanlou in Dongjing City, but people in Songcheng say Qinglou is a replica of Fanlou, so you might as well give it a try."

In fact, it is because Fanlou is so famous that many people yearn for it.

But there are too few people who can afford the price, so there must be substitutes to support this sinking market.

Qinglou is a very popular restaurant in Songcheng. Anyone with some money in their pockets would like to try it.

"Hahaha." Song Xuan laughed a few times:
"When we go to Tokyo someday, we'll definitely treat Su Sanlang to a meal at Fanlou. Besides, since you're new here, I can't let you spend money. Come to my house for dinner and free up some time to review your lessons. The food here is just as good as Qinglou's."

Su Xun was not a foodie like his son Su Dongpo, but he always wanted to try new things.

Although Su Xun started to learn at an early age, he did not devote all his energy to studying. It was not until he was 27 years old that he began to work hard. Before that, he always wanted to hang out outside.

Now that he was traveling far away for the first time, he met a lot of people and wanted to make friends.

Unable to resist Song Xuan's enthusiasm, the young Su Xun was not polite and agreed immediately.

When young people, especially men, make friends, there doesn't need to be anything earth-shattering; they can become friends just by saying hello.

When Su Xun went out to study, making friends was a necessary course.

Bao Zheng was very surprised at how quickly Song Xuan made friends.

But when he thought about it carefully, he and Song Xuan had established a good impression with just a few words.

When people are in a situation, there are many things they cannot see clearly.

But when Bao Zheng stepped out of the situation and watched the interaction between Song Xuan and Su Xun, he finally understood some things.

Song Xuan treats people like a spring breeze.

Even Shi Jie, who deliberately kept his distance from everyone, did not have an unfriendly impression of Song Xuan.

"Oh!"

Su Xun entered Song Xuan's courtyard and pointed at a row of weapon racks:
"My sword is still in the inn. Twelve Brother, are you also practicing martial arts to strengthen your body?"
