The literary test time in the morning seemed to pass very quickly, but almost everyone who took the test looked miserable, enduring the soreness in their wrists until they crossed the writing brush in their hands into eight parts.
Master Han put away everyone's papers as soon as the bell rang. Those who had not finished writing could only look at the brush in his hand and sigh.
After all, a government school is a government school, and education at any level must be more rigorous.
If it doesn't work, it's really my own problem.
Kong Zong next to Song Mu was even more worried at the moment, and he said with some annoyance.
"I usually memorize the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics very well, but how come I can't remember them in my mind once I write them down on paper?"
Song Mu was collecting his things silently, preparing to eat and then go back to have a good sleep. After all, there was still an exam in the afternoon.
"Zu Hai, Master, this exam is already very heavy, so it doesn't matter if you miss one or two."
Song Mu explained at this time that Kong Zong was a natural optimist. He immediately nodded and continued, but also asked Song Mu.
"Jing Zhao, how did you write? Have you finished writing?"
Song Mu grinned and said nothing, but Zhang Yiqi, who was walking next to him, said with a smile.
"Brother Zu Hai, do you still have to ask this? The sun hadn't even set in the middle of the day yet, and I saw that Brother Jing Zhao had already put away his pen!"
Kong Zong was shocked when he heard this, and his face was a little frustrated.
"Jingzhao, how come you are so good that you can finish such questions so quickly?"
Song Mu smiled dumbly, said hello to Zhang Yiqi who came forward, and the three of them walked outside together.
But just after leaving the school, Xie Jiaguo came out of nowhere and hurriedly called Song Mu. Song Mu turned around and saw that Xie Jiaguo had already spoken to Song Mu.
"Senior Brother Song, Mr. Tixue has something to ask you. He asked you to come over immediately after you finish writing the paper."
"Find me?"
Song Mu was a little surprised when he heard these words. He obviously just had a long talk with Lord Tixue yesterday, could it be that he still hasn't finished what he wanted to say today? But it shouldn't be this time?
However, Song Mu also nodded immediately, and he and Kong Zong cupped their hands, and then followed Xie Jiaguo towards the academy.
On the way, Song Mu learned from Xie Jiaguo that it seemed that some important figures had come to Fu Xue today. Even Fan Tixue was carefully waiting on him, and it seemed that they were looking for Song Mu by name.
After learning about this situation, Song Mu was naturally a little more confused. Who came forward?
As Song Mu stepped onto the steps of the academy alone, before he reached the entrance of the academy, he saw a few soldiers standing in front of the academy in strict order, and his expression became stern at that moment.
Song Mu walked forward slowly, and two soldiers came up to stop him, but soon Fan Tixue's voice came from the academy.
"That's the person you want to see, please let him in."
When Song Mu heard this voice, he relaxed for a moment, but at this moment he also knew that the character in it might be very unusual. He stood in front of the door and carefully arranged the makeup he had just hurriedly put on, and then stepped in.
Stepping into the academy, the door of the academy behind him slowly closed, which made Song Mu frown a little at the moment.
However, Song Mu didn't do anything. He just looked up and looked into the academy with a calm expression. He saw a middle-aged man wearing official robes sitting in the hall, and the man was also looking at him at this moment.
Song Mu also saw Shen Long standing up next to him. He was a little surprised at the moment, but he still took a few steps forward and handed over his hand.
"Song Mu, a late student, came to pay homage to Master Tixue and all the other gentlemen."
"No gifts, no gifts, Jing Zhao, come here quickly."
Fan Tixue's voice sounded at this time, and he seemed to be a little more enthusiastic.
"Sir Huang, this is Song Mu, whose name is Jingzhao. He is a descendant of the Song family in Shiyang's cultural background. He is also the head of this year's case in our house."
Fan Tixue introduced like this, Song Mu also looked at Mr. Huang who was wearing official robes, and the other person was also looking at Song Mu at this moment.
Seemingly seeing Song Mu as tall and graceful, he smiled and nodded slightly.
"Yes, he is indeed a talented person."
Mr. Huang said this, and Fan Tixue had already introduced him to Song Mu. When Song Mu learned that this was a minister from the Ministry of Etiquette of the imperial court, he also raised his hands in fear and saluted.
After all, in this world, officials from the Ministry of Etiquette are all of a higher rank, and the students are even more admiring of them.
Fortunately, Mr. Huang was also quite amiable. After greeting Song Mu, he asked Song Mu to sit aside.
Song Mu was flattered, and at this moment he also greeted Shen Long next to him. Shen Long was a lot more generous, but his eyes were also full of sparkle.
"Song Mu, I came here for the Three Character Classic. Please tell me in detail how you made it in the first place."
At this time, Mr. Huang bluntly stated his intention, and Song Mu quickly answered the question.
The answer was not much different from what was told to Fan Tixue, but Master Huang nodded with satisfaction.
"You are so young that you can have such strange thoughts, have compassion for the poor children in the world, and can actually achieve such achievements. It is really amazing. I will report it truthfully, and it is worthy of praise!"
Master Huang praised him, and at this moment he also explained to Song Mu the purpose of his visit.
It turned out that the Three-Character Classic was sent to the Ministry of Rites by the prefect Qiu Buchu. After reading it, a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites were shocked by it and immediately realized the great value of this thunderous and nine-movement text.
His Majesty also praised Song Mu greatly after reading this article, and immediately decided to reward Song Mu.
"So Song Mu, come forward and listen to the order."
After Mr. Huang explained this, his tone suddenly became a little higher. Then he stood up and took out a golden brocade scroll from his sleeve, with dragon patterns engraved on it.
Before Song Mu could recover, he saw that Fan Tixue beside him had stood up and bent over to bow, so he stood up quickly.
The Wen Dynasty treated scholars very favorably. Even when facing the king, they did not have to kneel down, but they still had to be respectful. Song Mu almost bent down completely at this moment.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this moment, Shen Long, who was sitting aside, had also stood up, but he was performing a military salute.
At this time, there were only four people, Song and Mu, in the hall. Master Huang immediately unfolded the golden scroll and began to read it slowly.
"Since Wenchang, learning has been the first priority. Zhang Sheng's great works were established before him, and hundreds of schools of literature were recorded later..."
Although Song Mu was bending down to listen, his heart felt like a stormy sea at the moment, and he couldn't even hear clearly what the other party was saying for a while.
One day, I could actually win His Majesty's favor like this, and it was so grand.
Song Mu, who had experienced many hardships during this period of time, even felt that his father or second uncle in this life would be so relieved to see the current scene.
After this, Song Mu's thoughts were already a little confused. It was only when the other party solemnly finished reciting everything above the imperial edict that Song Mu came back to his senses.
"Song Mu, you still don't accept the order?"
Mr. Huang said, with a more respectful expression on his face.
It was also today that Mr. Huang really saw what was above. His Majesty actually gave Song Mu the title of county magistrate. Although it was only a false title, it was an honor that he would never receive.
Such names can only be engraved on the tombstone when I close my eyes, but this little baby in front of me did it.
"Student Song Mu, accept the order."
Song Mu took it respectfully, and the golden scroll felt heavy in his hand.
Every word above was written by Hanlin, so naturally it has considerable weight.
"Song Mu, congratulations. Now that you are so favored by His Majesty, you will work harder to study and become the pillar of our great literary dynasty in the future!"
"Song Mu will do his best and die!"
Song Mu said firmly, and Master Huang also smiled and raised his head to look at Shen Long on the other side.
"Master Shen, my work is done, and now it's your turn."
Over there, Shen Long nodded immediately after hearing this, and looked at Song Mu, with an even more respectful expression on his face.
Immediately, the other party took out a long wooden box from his body, and then presented it to Song Mu with both hands.
"Your Majesty once dreamed that stars were falling from the sky in the south. He couldn't sleep at night. He said that a talented man was coming and he was looking for traces."
"After such a search, it was finally determined that it was you. Now that you fought Ko Ji Jin's "Demon Demon" and the results of that day have been reported, Song Mu, this is something given to you by His Majesty."
Saying this, Song Mu took it with some fear. When he saw that it was a jade pen, he looked extremely solemn and thanked him.
However, Shen Long took out a heavy brocade bag from somewhere and also extended it to Song Mu.
Song Mu also hurriedly reached out and took it respectfully, and then opened the extremely heavy bag in surprise at the urging of the other party.
The next moment, bursts of golden light suddenly burst out from it, making Song Mu immediately cover his pockets, with a look of shock on his face.
Shen Long continued to talk to Song Mu quite calmly.
"Song Mu, Your Majesty knows that you are now on the demon assassination list. I heard that you are worth two hundred taels of gold."
"This is the five hundred taels of gold that your Majesty rewarded you."
