In November, there were a lot more people in the capital than usual.

After the autumn examination, all the talented men who passed the provincial examination in the Ming Dynasty began to set off for the capital.

Every day, the capital welcomes many juren coming in and out.

Among a group of pickets entering and leaving, there were also several familiar faces.

Qiu Shubai, Liu Zimu and others who had just arrived in vain handed over the identity documents in their hands to the inspectors.

After a long journey, everyone who arrived in the capital for the first time was very excited.

This time, these classmates made an appointment to go to Beijing together.

There were about ten people in the group.

Everyone was wearing bloated winter clothes, queuing their necks, waiting to enter the city gate.

Qiu Shubai stomped his feet and exhaled a white breath from his mouth.

"The capital is too cold, the snow is so thick."

"Yes, fortunately we brought enough thick clothes before we left the door."

"Otherwise you will have to freeze to death halfway."

The group of people were whispering while waiting.

Many people looked curious when they looked at the thick snow on the roadside.

Lun Mingyi, who was in the middle of the crowd, kept tilting his head and looking inside the city gate.

In this provincial examination, he only won thirty-two.

His father said that the examiner probably had to suppress him to get such a low ranking.

He always remembered Zhao Ce's achievements.

When they set off, Zhao Cechengji had not returned to his hometown.

So they don't know.

Now that the capital is here, I naturally feel more anxious to know the answer.

"I don't know whether we have received the letter we sent before."

Song Lijie patted his shoulder and smiled and said, "It must have been received."

"But we arrived a little earlier than the scheduled time, and it is estimated that people will come later."

When they arrived near Beizhili, they sent someone to send a letter to Zhao Ce in advance.

It is expected to arrive in about the same time.

However, the weather is still good these two days and there is no snow.

Therefore, it is a little earlier than the estimated time.

Lun Mingyi shook his shoulders and said unhappily: "Senior Brother Song, I can't pat my shoulders if I said it."

A classmate next to him asked, "Why can't you pat your shoulder?"

The folding fan in Young Master Song’s hand opened the bag in the winter and joked: “If you pat your shoulder, our Young Master Lun will not grow taller.”

After saying that, many people laughed.

Lun Mingyi blushed and said with a stammering neck: "I am not short!"

"And I'm still young, I can take longer to finish my life!"

The group of people listened and smiled even more.

While waiting to check the identity documents, several soldiers rushed to the side.

"Let it go first, Yan Shenggong and his group are going to enter the city."

"Please wait a moment."

"Yan Sheng Gong?"

When they heard these three words, the queuing men lit up.

The books of sages they read were all Confucian students.

Now that I have just arrived in the capital, I have the opportunity to meet Yan Shenggong?

A lord standing next to him quickly said, "Several officials will go to welcome Yan Shenggong first, I will not be in trouble."

As he said that, the person who checked the documents nodded to everyone and stood up.

Not only the officers and soldiers guarding the gate.

Even everyone who was waiting in line ran to the door to welcome Yan Shenggong.

When everyone saw a group of people appearing from afar, they were somewhat excited.

"Is this the carriage that Yan Shenggong was riding?"

"I don't know if I can see Yan Sheng Gong today?"

The carriage and horse arrived at the city gate to be inspected.

The people below were whispering to each other.

Soon, the heavy curtain of the carriage was lifted.

A young man in his twenties appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing the curtain of the carriage being lifted, everyone was immediately excited.

"I guess this is also a descendant of the Kong family?"

"Those who can be in the same car as Yan Shenggong must be the direct descendant of Confucius!"

When the young man saw a lot of people present, everyone looked at him excitedly.

He smiled friendly, returned to the car and said a few words to the person in the car.

Then, he got off the carriage and bowed to him.

"Hello, talented men."

"I am the 62nd generation grandson of Confucius, Kong Wenshao."

"Yan Shenggong just returned to the capital and saw that all the students in the world gathered in the capital, he couldn't help but feel happy."

"So there are a few words I want to say to you."

After Kong Wenshao finished speaking, the students waiting at the city gate suddenly shone with excitement.

Kong Wenshao was the son of the former Yan Shenggong Kong Hongxu and the next Yan Shenggong.

In the carriage behind him, Contemporary Yan Shenggong also showed his face.

Kong Hongxu's younger brother Kong Hongtai appeared in front of everyone with an old face.

He did not get off the carriage, but said warmly to the students: "The weather is cold, I am really grateful if you want to give in."

Kong Hongtai was polite and expressed his gratitude to everyone for his work in the lineup.

A student's face turned slightly red with excitement.

He whispered loudly: "Yan Sheng Gong is so polite."

"We are all disciples of saints, and we are young and strong, so we should give in to you and others."

"The weather is cold and Yan Shenggong is old, so let's go to the city first."

After this person finished speaking, many people agreed.

Kong Hongtai smiled and said a few more words before he called Kong Wenshao to get on the carriage.

Behind Yan Shenggong's carriage, there is a more luxurious carriage.

At first glance, she was sitting in a female family.

The convoy quickly passed the inspection and entered the city in a mighty manner.

The disciples who had just arrived in the capital met Yan Shenggong at the city gate.

Many people think this is a good sign.

Everyone didn't mind the cold weather, and they were excitedly talking about the things in the capital.

Qiu Shubai and others also saw this scene, and most of them were very happy.

"I first arrived in the capital, and I met Yan Shenggong."

"It seems that we still have the chance to pass the exam in this spring exam!"

Lun Mingyi said happily, and the others also echoed a few times.

Order was restored to the city gate.

The rest of the people also quickly entered the city.
