When Master Xun informed everyone to disembark, all the scholars put on their fancy clothes, and each of the twelve scholars wore student uniforms. In just a moment, everyone's demeanor immediately changed. They were all the passengers on the boat who were traveling with them.
, the look in his eyes became more respectful at this moment.
The shipowner was also smiling, but he was a little distressed. He was happy that his ship could carry twelve scholars at a time, which was enough to brag to outsiders, but he was distressed because the people on the ship were able to carry twelve scholars at a time.
All the scholars went down here, and the following river channel seemed to have lost a layer of protective barrier.
Song Mu and others got off the boat at this time. The boatman who was already busy on the dock was looking up at these scholars. They all straightened up and were stunned.
Soon, the sound of drums was heard from the east city gate, and then the city gate began to slowly open.
Groups of soldiers walked out of it, and behind them, gongs and drums continued to sound.
This early morning, the area around the east wall of Shiyang County seemed to have become lively in an instant. Many people inside and outside the city heard the noise, and they looked puzzled at this moment.
But soon some officials began to spread the word throughout the city.
"Students from Shiyang County who took the college examination are back!"
This sentence immediately caused the entire Shiyang County to boil, and countless scholars went out one after another at this moment, heading towards the east city wall.
In previous years, this situation would never have happened, but in this year's college examination, Shiyang County's results were really surprising.
Twelve talents, this is the first time in Shiyang County that there are double-digit numbers of talents in an academy examination in countless years.
You must know that in this place with a population of one million, there are only two academic examinations every three years, and the number of talents that can appear is only 130 or 40.
Among the ten counties, Shiyang County actually got one-tenth of the number of people in one exam.
For Shiyang County, whose writing style has always been weak, this time it can be said that it is completely proud.
When the news came back, officials and people of all sizes in Shiyang County were overjoyed.
What is even more surprising is that this time the case leader of the Jizhou Prefectural Court Examination also appeared in Shiyang County.
The combination of several good news has almost made the whole Shiyang County happy these days. Now when I heard that the students who took the exams have returned, people immediately cheered.
The gongs and drums of official officials sounded throughout Shiyang County. Song Liangda, who was about to go out to work, also heard the news on the street. At that moment, he pulled the sleeve of an official official to confirm it.
"Second Master Song, you can't be wrong. This is an order issued by the county magistrate. Now all the officials in the county are at the East City Wall Pier!"
When the officer saw Song Liangda who was in a daze, he smiled warmly and said, after all, who in the city doesn't know that Song Liangda's eldest nephew Song Mu is the head of this court examination.
Today, Song Mu has considerable prestige among the scholars in the city, and is regarded as the next Shiyang County official and Jinshi.
Hearing what the officer said, Song Liangda also repeatedly handed over his hands. He could no longer hold back his footsteps and ran towards his home like a madman.
Not long after, Song Liangda's family of three hurriedly headed towards the east city wall.
Under the east city wall, Song Mu and others had already stood still. Under the leadership of Master Xun, they were waiting for the arrival of Jin Changwu and others.
Not long after, officials from Jinchangwu and Shiyang County came to the front. Only Master Jiaoyu was still in the city to escort the annual exam.
Jin Changwu walked hurriedly from the city gate wearing a red robe. His face was full of joy. When he saw Song Mu and others, his pace became a little faster.
"I apologize to you all. I thought you would be able to arrive yesterday, but now you are not able to meet me ten miles away."
Jin Changwu stepped forward, and immediately raised his hands to everyone, with a very happy expression on his face. At this moment, his eyes glanced at the dozen or so scholars wearing student uniforms behind Master Xun, and his face was even more happy.
Naturally, everyone didn't think it would matter if Jin Changwu failed to fulfill his promise. Everyone was flattered that his parents came out to greet him at the pier early in the morning.
At this moment, everyone was also saluting Jinchang Wu, and Master Xun also said to Jinchang Wu with a face full of emotion.
"Fortunately, I have lived up to my humble duty. All the people who took the examination are safe and sound, and 12 of them were successful, ranking first in Jizhou Prefecture!"
Jin Changwu burst out laughing when he heard these words, with no concealment of the cheerfulness on his face.
"Okay, okay, Master, you have worked really hard. We in Shiyang County are relieved for this academic examination. Not only Jizhou Prefecture, but also several surrounding prefectures. One county can produce more than a dozen scholars. Then
It’s also rare!”
"Today I will hold a banquet in the guest building, and everyone will come!"
Jin Changwu waved his hand, and everyone's faces were filled with smiles. At this time, Jin Changwu turned to look at the people in the field. His eyes stopped at Song Mu who was standing next to Master Xun, with a smile on his face.
The meaning is a bit more intense.
Jin Changwu stepped forward, looked at Song Mu at this moment, and nodded unconsciously.
"Not bad, not bad, Song Mu, you are such a handsome young man, not bad, not bad!"
Song Mu naturally smiled and held his hands. At this moment, Shiyang County officials of all sizes also came forward, all of them smiling. When they saw Song Mu, their eyes widened a bit, as if they wanted to remember Song Mu.
Mu is a famous figure.
More and more people gathered on the pier. At this moment, a team invited by official officials began to beat drums and cheer, and the scene was extremely lively.
Shiyang County was still under semi-martial law. After Song Mu and others took a simple blood test, they also walked into the city.
Just after passing through the thick city gate, Song Mu heard an excited voice ringing in the street nearby.
"Muge!"
The voice was trembling with excitement and sentimental with joy. Song Mu quickly raised his head and followed the voice. He saw the short and sturdy second uncle standing in the crowd with Yaya in his arms. The second aunt next to him
He also waved the veil towards himself.

When he arrived in front of Song Liangda, Song Mu's eyes were a little red, and he immediately bowed his hands and bowed.
But this time Song Liangda had already rushed up first, and the uncle and nephew hugged each other. Song Liangda forcibly grabbed Song Mu who was about to kneel down, and then looked at Song Mu carefully.
"Okay, okay, Brother Mu, it will be good when you come back."
Saying this, Song Liangda's face was filled with joy and sadness, and he stroked Song Mu's sleeves with both hands.
"This student uniform fits Brother Mu really well. Our old Song family... can be considered a scholar again."
Song Liangda was so moved when he said it that he couldn't help crying.
"Big brother Izumi knows it, and he will definitely be happy. Your grandfather and great-great-grandfather will also be happy."
At this moment, Song Mu listened to Song Liangda's almost choked voice and said with an moved expression.
"Second uncle, Song Mu will definitely live up to the expectations of his ancestors, and he will definitely come back with a good reputation in the future!"
After hearing these words, Song Liangda burst into tears, as if he wanted to release all the previous grievances at this moment.
At this moment, Mrs. Zhu also came up with Yaya in her arms. Both of them were holding Song Mu and crying bitterly. Yaya, who was eight or nine years old, didn't know why. She just stared at the person in front of her with wide eyes, wiping away tears, but becoming even more handsome.
's eldest brother.
At this moment, there were officials coming up to maintain order. Although several people were crying bitterly on the street, no one thought it was inappropriate, because on this street at this moment, there were unknown scholars who were holding their parents and crying bitterly.
It was tears of joy. This was their right. They had studied hard for so many years, and it was only today that they were finally able to be called literati.
Beside them, countless people looked envious at this moment, and even congratulated them repeatedly. Especially around Song Mu, many people gathered around. From the publicity in the past few days, they had already known that a case had been committed in the Song family.
These first-class scholars are already very popular in the county.
