Volume 1 First Entering the Path to Cultivation of Immortality

Chapter 75 Shengjing City    The Three Bests in Yumo

"Young master, get up. Let's have dinner. Should we eat here or go?" Shutong asked Yumo.

"Ah! Go down! There are so many people, and they eat delicious food." Yu Mo yawned and looked at Shutong.

Yumo and Shutong walked to the front building, came to a table, ordered four dishes, Yumo sat and looked at the two sides of the stairs to show a few more banners.

A banner reads "The fragrance of lotus, clear water, cool wind, cool summer." There is a blank pair on the side, and one or two gold liang is written on the pair.

Yumo was eating while listening to others chatting.

"Look at the couplet in the first couplet, it has been hanging for five days, and no candidate can match it. It seems that the couple was hung by a high-ranking official. Who can answer it can give a leaf of gold!" A scholar-like man said to an old man in gorgeous clothes.

"Look! Is this right? Look at the fragrance of lotus, the clear water moves in the wind, the water moves in the wind, the summer is long. The cool breeze moves in the water, the cool breeze moves in the fragrance of lotus. This sentence represents a poem. Who can have such talent to answer it in just a few days." The old man in the gorgeous clothes replied.

"Yes! I don't know who made it so difficult?" the scholar asked the old man.

"I really know this, I can't say it!" The old man said in a low voice to the scholar.

"Oh, I understand!" The scholar also decided to distinguish the old man's meaning.

Yumo looked at the first couplet and said that the side dishes he ate was really good. The food at the Zhuangyuan Building, the first floor in the world, was fragrant!

Yumo looked at the couplet while eating, and suddenly remembered his own pavilion. Green willows surround the small building, so quiet. Isn’t this just facing the above sentence?

Yumo asked the child to bring paper and pen, and stopped eating it. On the table next to him, he wrote "The soft wind and green waves and willows are surrounded by the small building."

The old man next to him looked at Yu Mo's beautiful words and nodded, as if he was saying that this word is really good!

The scholar looked at the old man and said, "I haven't read the second couplet very well yet?"

This couplet is right and too neat. Look, his sentence can also be divided into a poem "The soft wind and green waves around the willows, the waves around the building, the small land is quiet. The quiet environment is surrounded by the willows, the building is surrounded by the willows, the building is surrounded by the green wind is soft." This pair is too neat.

"Xiao Zhang, hurry up and get along with him. This kid's future is here!" The old man asked the scholar-like person to go up and talk to Yu Mo.

"Hello! Your pair are so neat!" The scholar's template came forward to communicate with Yu Mo.

"Thank you, nothing, I feel it!" Yu Mo didn't say it was his own bamboo house, just that it was very appropriate to this couplet.

Shutong put the half couplet directly on the blank couplet, and everyone in the building cast envious eyes at Yu Mo.

Yu Mo really thought of his own affairs unintentionally, and he didn't even think that this couplet could be divided into several poems.

The scholar picked up the pen again and wrote on the blank paper

"The fragrance of lotus is clear and cool in the wind, the water is cool in the wind, the summer is long. The summer is cool in the cool breeze, the cool breeze is cool in the water, the cool breeze is fragrant in the water."

"The soft wind is green and willows are surrounded by the building, the waves are surrounded by the building, the small environment is quiet. The quiet environment is surrounded by the willows are surrounded by the willows, and the building is surrounded by the willows are green and light wind is soft."

After writing, he nodded straight at the words he wrote, "Good poems, good poems, and good couplets!"

Yu Mo looked at the two poems written by the scholar, and looked up at a couplet on it.

"The fragrance of lotus, clear water, cool wind, long summer."

"The soft wind and green waves willows are surrounded by the small building and the quiet environment."

Looking at these two poems, they really echo each other, and the two poems seemed to be written by one person.

Looking at this pair, it’s relatively more craftsmanship. Such a coincidence is really a masterpiece!

The scholar smiled and asked Yumo, "Sir, are you honoring your surname?"

"It's called Yu, and it's called Mo." Yu Mo replied.

"I wonder what is the name of Mr. Taifu?" Yu Mo asked the young man who looked like a teacher.

"Me! Zhang Jiuling!"

"Who are you?"

"Zhang Jiuling!"

"You are the famous talented man in Shengjing, Zhang Jiuling, who is rude! He is rude!" Yu Mo hurriedly bowed.

"Haha, you're welcome. I want to go to Beijing for the exam. See what level I can be at. I didn't expect you to be much higher than mine!" Zhang Jiuling said to Yumo modestly.

"Haha, you're welcome. Brother Jiuling's reputation is so well-known to me, Yu Mo! When I'm at home, I often hear people talk about interesting things about your life and famous works." Yu Mo was sincerely convinced by Zhang Jiuling.

For so long, the two of them became close friends. Both of them were interested in each other's talent and knowledge. Yu Mo and Zhang Jiuling were really comparable in talent.

The two of them chatted at this small wine table for a long time. Zhang Jiuling and Yu Mo introduced their own life experiences and their preferences respectively.

The two of them really fell in love at first sight, and they really regretted that they met too late.

The two of them chatted for a long time, and they were really "swept" and parting!

These two people are really in the sky, underground, south of the world, north of the sea, rare, strange beasts, ancient times, and the world are all topics of chatting between the two.

If it weren't for the big exam immediately, the two of them would have separated immediately without wanting it. There were a lot of things that they hadn't talked enough.

Yu Mo returned to the room and did not immediately enter the dream. She was still thinking about chatting with Zhang Jiuling. Finally, Yu Mo closed her eyes with a smile.

When I woke up, after breakfast, I brought the book boy to the tribute school. This year's candidates were all inspected in front of the tribute school gate.

The sun is rising, and the purple sunshine shines on every candidate. Yu Mo is thinking in his heart, is this purple qi coming from the east? It indicates that all of us candidates can have a good future.

Under the earnest teachings of the examiner, a group of candidates entered the examination room. Each examination room was not big, with two rooms, one for the exam and the other for the rest, and the exam time was three days.

On the first day, I entered the examination room and became familiar with the examination room environment.

The next day, the formal exam took two days.

There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, Yumo picked up the paper and looked at it. It said it was the management of the country.

Yumo looked at the paper, closed her eyes, and thought for a while.

The country's management is divided into cultural management and military management. Cultural management includes farming, business, fishery, casting, literature, etc. Each aspect must be carefully planned. There is a saying that thoughts are the soul, and thoughts are the commander...

With a wave of rain and ink, it took me a quick turn. It took me half a day to write the theory of literature and martial arts that manage the world.

After writing the article, Yumo can only leave the examination room if she waits for other candidates to finish the exam. This is the official requirement that she is afraid that the test questions will go away.

Yumo didn't think about this exam, because Yumo knew that the article section today was consistent with the thoughts of the emperor of the dynasty. If nothing unexpected happens, he would probably rely on it this time.

When Yu Mo left the exam room, he saw Zhang Jiuling again. Seeing that he was in good spirits, the two chatted with each other for a few words, and then went back to rest.

The first thing Yumo did when she returned to the inn was to take a shower first, stay in a small house for three days, and her body was full of thorns.

After that, Yumo began to sleep and made up for all the fatigue he had been doing for several days.

Xiao Shutong also knew that Yumo was too tired during this period, so he quietly left the room and found a seat downstairs to rest.

Time passed in a flash. On the morning of the third day after the exam, I heard someone shouting on the street before it was dawn?

"Dang~dang~! The idle man has made it aside! The results are released!" the soldier shouted.

"Do~don~! The idle person has made it out of the way! The results are released!" repeated again and again.

"Do~dou~! The idle person has made it go! The results are released! Open the door! Open the door!"

Yumo immediately put on her clothes and knew that the excitement time had come.

"Congratulations, Mr. Wang Long, on the top spot in the high school list!" A yamen runner in red was holding a tray.

"Congratulations, Mr. Zhang Jiuling, second in the high school rankings!" A red-clothed yamen runner held a tray.

"Congratulations" Yu Mo's heart sank when she shouted here.

"Master Yumo, third in the high school top ranking!"

"Today, the emperor of the Emperor's Palace summoned him at noon!"

Yumo quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the person who made the bill.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long You!" He took two wedding posts, one for someone, and the other for him when he met the emperor.

Yumo took the holy paper, glanced at the book boy, and shouted directly, "Reward, five taels per person, ten taels per person."

Yu Mo looked at Zhang Jiuling beside him and directly rewarded each person with five taels and ten taels for the red-clothed man.

These are all unwritten rules. As long as you get the top three in the Zhuangyuan Building, you will have to give money to people. It is not a problem for those who can live here. Later, it was formed, with each person five taels and a red dress of ten taels.

These yamen runners sent wedding invitations early in the morning to get the money of five or ten taels of silver. Because the salary of one month is less than two taels of silver, these yamen runners are worth several months' salary.

"Xiao Wang, hurry up, hurry up and report the good news to my mother and send the wedding invitation to the old house for tribute."

The final palace examination was made by the emperor. If the answer was good, he would be sure of the first, second, and third.

Time really doesn't wait for anyone! Yu Mo changed into the newly bought clothes, wearing a young master's cloak, holding a folding fan in his hand, and looking handsome.

After packing up his clothes, Yumo came to Zhang Jiuling's room. Zhang Jiuling was in Room No. 1, which was also a house that could not be bought with a wealth of money.

The two left the inn together and hired two sedan chairs to rush to the gate of the imperial city.

When they arrived at the gate of the inner city, the two got out of the sedan chair and paid the money.

When he arrived at the city gate, he held the wedding invitation in his hand, and several soldiers guarding the door immediately saluted to both of them.

"See sir! Congratulations to sir, high school!" Several soldiers looked at the two.

Yu Mo took out ten taels of silver and threw it forward.

"This is what we two reward you!" Yu Mo is not a person who values ​​money very much.

"Thank you, two sirs!" The soldiers saluted to them.

"Two adults invite you to the sedan chair, and we will directly send you to the examination room of the palace examination." The soldier gave the two to the door. There were three sedan chairs inside the door. Yu Mo understood without anyone saying that this was for the three.

Yumo was sitting in the sedan chair, and his body was shaking up and down in the sedan chair, and his body felt comfortable.

Can the relationship be uncomfortable? I just entered the first three and the emperor summoned me later. As long as I have a good impression, I will be able to fly to the emperor! My body and mood are in line with each other.

The two of them came to a small courtyard with many guards around the courtyard. There seemed to be many officials in the courtyard at this time. When they heard someone calling their names, they went forward and agreed and followed the person and left.
