Everyone stepped across the small bridge. After the bridge was the garden in the courtyard. The garden was filled with flowers that were in full bloom. The breeze blew and the fragrance of flowers came to the nostrils.
It is like a hundred flowers blooming, orioles singing and butterflies dancing, which is really a feast for the eyes of everyone.
You are a scholar! When you encounter this beautiful scenery on the road, it is indispensable to recite poems and write poems about nature.
What's more, those who came today are all candidates for the academy examination. They feel that they are extremely talented, so they can't help but show off in front of everyone.
The college examinations are based on ten points, so the number of people here today is only about fifty.
In this land, after many layers of screening, there are only a few dozen people. To be able to stand here, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are like dragons and phoenixes among people!
Although the people who come here today do not have the ability to understand the past and the present, they have read a lot of books and can still cope with it by reciting poems.
Moreover, ancient literati loved to recite poems and write poems, and scholars were no exception.
What's more, they are all talented people who just entered the list this year. They are so high-spirited and proud. Who doesn't want to show off in front of others to prove their talents?
Of course, some people simply have a straightforward temperament, and when they see this scenery, they feel a bit poetic and picturesque.
As a result, some people in the team, whether they were poetic or poetic, immediately began to recite poems while shaking their heads.
But I have to say that people without any real material would really not dare to compose poems in public here.
After all, this is not a place with ravines like Lingyun Village. Anyone who composes an absurd poem will be praised by others.
Furthermore, if your poem is slightly asymmetrical and inappropriate for the occasion, someone may stand up and ridicule it, which will end up making everyone laugh.
Ling Yun thought to himself that he was not good at writing poetry, so he stood aside silently.
On the other hand, it was Wang Jinghui. Writing poetry was easy for him, but he didn't say a word because he probably didn't want to show off in front of others.
One of them took a step forward, pondered for a moment, and blurted out a poem about flowers.
Judging from his calm and calm demeanor, it seems that he is really good at composing poetry.
"I'm coming, I'm coming." Then another person stood up and sang a poem about things.
But as soon as the man finished speaking, someone in the team jumped out and questioned, "Brother Yang, I heard this poem in the inn last night. Could it be that Brother Yang moved the poem he composed last night here?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter on the spot!
When the man saw that he had been exposed on the spot, his face turned pale, and he could not help but feel resentful. He glanced at the person who exposed him viciously.
The vicious look in his eyes was fleeting, and if Ling Yun hadn't paid close attention, he probably wouldn't have noticed it.
Although the man was angry, he couldn't get angry in front of everyone, so he could only remain silent and swallow his anger.
There is a saying that if you don't do something, you won't die. If you want to be in the limelight, you have to bear the consequences.
After suppressing his anger, the man smiled, then lowered his head and said nothing, and retreated angrily to an inconspicuous place in the team.
After walking through the winding garden path, we came to a large open space.
On a large open space, there are about fifty long desks, and a low stool is placed under each desk for students to sit.
To the north of the open space is a small lake. The breeze blows and the waves undulate, which is really good.
In fact, in this weather, it’s not a bad idea to sit on the ground in this open space.
It's just that in this kind of scene, the rules are important, and he doesn't dare to follow his personal preferences.
Ling Yun mentally rowed dozens of rows and picked the location closest to the lake.
Wang Jinghui originally wanted to sit in the front, but he looked at the piles of people in front of him and saw how busy it was.
Some people almost fought in order to seize the front position.
Seeing this, he had no choice but to choose in front of Ling Yun.
Those who grabbed the seats in front were just trying to look familiar in front of the academic leaders and the prefect.
After choosing a seat, Ling Yun was about to sit down, but was stopped by Wang Jinghui, who had quick eyes and quick hands.
And told him solemnly that they could not sit down at this time, and they had to wait until someone above them signaled them to sit down.
After hearing this, Ling Yun glanced around and found that, as he said, no one sat down immediately.
He patted his chest gently, breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "It was so dangerous, I almost embarrassed myself."
If Wang Jinghui hadn't stopped him in time, tomorrow's headline news in Fucheng would probably have been that the head of the case in Anzhou Fuchuan was an unruly mountain villager who probably lived up to his name.
Ling Yun raised his head and looked at Li Huairen above, and found that he was only sitting in the second row above.
And sitting behind him was a middle-aged man.
He thought to himself, could this person be the examiner who presided over the college examination?
Otherwise, it would be impossible to sit above Li Huairen.
He seemed to vaguely remember that the chief examiner of the college examination also seemed to have a surname of Li. As for his name, he couldn't remember it for a while.
I remember that when the college entrance examination notice was posted that day, he just glanced at the name of the examiner and it was normal that he had no impression.
Ling Yun joined the students at the thank you banquet, which was nothing more than a group of people standing and saying thank you to those above.
For example, "Student Ling Yun thanked his mentor."
Master Xuezheng was their examiner for the college examination. It was he who approved them and they were able to pass the college examination. He was equivalent to their mentor.
This is why when candidates enter the imperial examination and become officials in high school, they claim to be the disciples of so-and-so.
The scholar's name was Li Chengyou, and Wang Jinghui reminded him that he remembered it.
Li Chengyou sat at the top, looking at the people below expressionlessly, a little unsmiling.
Facing the thanksgiving words from all the students, he just nodded slightly, said a few words of encouragement, and motioned for them to sit down.
The students sat down and the servants began to serve the dishes in an orderly manner.
Ling Yun looked at the eight delicacies and jade food, the gluttonous feast, and smelled the far-reaching fragrance, which made him salivate.
The dishes that can be served here are naturally good. Ling Yun took a few glances and found that they were all famous dishes in the house.
There were others he didn't recognize, but it wasn't too late to think about them.
Ling Yun swallowed, and he could no longer control his saliva.
But reason told him not to act rashly, otherwise he would almost lose the rules just like before.
One mistake could lead to eternal regret, so he had to be careful.
So he carefully observed the people around him, thinking that while he was waiting for them to use chopsticks, he was moving his chopsticks, which was safe.
What Ling Yun didn't know was that every move he made at this time was in someone's eyes.
Ling Yun found that no one had any desire to move their chopsticks. Instead, they sat upright and looked directly above.
He followed suit, straightened his body, straightened his clothes, raised his head and looked forward.
Unexpectedly, the person directly above him was looking at him with a smile. Ling Yun was startled and quickly lowered his head.
There was a hint of smile in Li Chengyou's eyes. After all, he was a ten-year-old child, quite careless, but a naughty little guy.
No wonder he dared to speak nonsense in public that day, humiliate the other party, and even bring in the onlookers.
Li Chengyou looked at Ling Yun's smiling expression and was caught by someone who was interested. He gritted his teeth and glanced at him.
Ling Yun was avoiding Li Chengyou's gaze at the moment, so preoccupied with himself that he didn't even notice the people around him, looking at him intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Chengyou looked at this scene, his smile deepened, and at the same time he did not forget to raise the corners of his lips and said, "Everyone, let's have a meal!"
