Chapter 1157

Jiang Wen warmly invited Song Zhi to have fun with the poem.

But he's just here. He's a little embarrassed.

Not familiar!

Besides, I just met Fang Tong and Jiang Wen.

He politely refused, "I still won't go."

"Brother song, don't be polite."

"I... No."

"All the people who come here today are here to take part in this year's conference examination. It's fate to get together. Brother song might as well go with me. It's just friends."

"I......" Song Zhi said.

I don't know how to refuse.

Jiang Wen was about to continue——

Fang Tong interrupted, "well, Jiang Wen, brother song has just come. He's not used to it. Don't embarrass him."

Jiang Wen had to give up: "well, I'll go first and you'll come quickly. Don't always sit here and eat tea."

"I see."

Then, Jiang Wen bowed to Song Zhi, "brother song, I'll go first."

"Yes."

After Jiang Wen left, Fang Tong took him to sit down and said, "brother song, don't be too polite."

"Yes?"

"Just to explore knowledge, you can ask each other what you don't understand."

"Brother Fang is right." Song Zhi smiled and said, "by the way, who will initiate this poem?"

"I don't know. I heard... Is a big man."

"Oh!"

Fang Tong seemed to think of something and asked him, "by the way, brother song, did you join any adult as a disciple?"

Student!

Speaking of this, he poked Song Zhi.

He said: "I have just entered Beijing and I don't know any officials in the court, so I don't admire any adults. Besides, as a poor scholar, I may have been driven out before I can even step on the threshold of those adults. I hope I can have three meals. Where can I be a luxury student?"

A wry smile

It's also very sad to say! Every three years, in the first half of the examination, students will continue to come to Gao Ding to explore the way first, trying to find an opportunity to get close to the officials in the central government, preferably an official of the Ministry of rites. After all, the invigilator of the examination and the officials of the Ministry of rites are all officials of the Ministry of rites. It's easy to know one

One more way! If you are lucky enough to be recognized by any adult and accepted as a student under the door, it is equivalent to stepping into the court with one foot and being cared for.

To put it bluntly, it's the back door!

Therefore, many students want to know a few dignitaries, and even spend money to make an official way for themselves.

Even if it may end up empty!

At all costs.

But——

There are also students like Song Zhi.

No money!

Two, no power!

Three... No luck!

They were born in a poor family, lived at the bottom, and had no way to get ahead!

Only efforts! After listening to his words, Fang Tong was really touched. He sighed and said, "brother song is right. How can people like us know any big people? Maybe they can't even get close to those adults. I've taken the test twice, and I've fallen twice from six years ago to today

List. But I'm not willing! I hope... Can be on the list this year! Can return home in good clothes. "

Six years!

Twice.

Such perseverance, I'm afraid Song Zhi can't do it.

It's really admirable.

Song Zhi said, "my brother insisted for six years, but song was not as good as me."

”But I'm afraid no one can understand the pain. If I don't pass the exam this year, I probably... Won't come to Gaoding again. "

"Brother Fang, don't be discouraged. You will succeed this year!"

His soothing tone was hard. Fang Tong smiled, "I'll lend you a good word." After drinking Cha Cha, he said, "people born like us are not like those rich and famous families. They were born with golden spoons. The starting line is higher than us. We want to stand out... Maybe we can only rely on our ability

。”

"Song Zhi smiled bitterly.

Fang Tong's face sank again and stared at the tea in front of him: "but sometimes, even if he depends on his real ability, he may not be able to make progress."

In the tone, there is more helplessness!

Sigh!

As the saying goes, money can make the devil push the mill. Having money and power is equal to getting everything. Although the imperial examination pays attention to the public system, it is also strict and rigorous, so people can't drill holes in it, but everyone knows what the secret abacus is!

I don't know what to say!

The two will not continue this topic.

The more you say, the worse it gets.

They exchanged greetings about some trivial things.

For a long time.

At this time——

There was a noise not far away!

Hearing the sound, I saw some students gathered around. What are they looking at?

Huh?

What happened?

Then a man's voice was heard in the crowd: "if anyone can understand this poem, then the twenty Liang silver will belong to him."

Twenty Liang silver!

For those poor students, it's a huge sum of money.

Song Zhi craned his neck and looked over there. He saw a man standing in the middle.

The man was dressed in purple, made of superior satin, and wore an expensive jade pendant around his waist.

Visible identity is not low.

He held a brush in his hand and rolled his sleeves in one hand. In front of him was a large table covered with a piece of paper on which he just finished writing a line of words.

It's too far to see what's written here?

When hearing the sound, Fang Tong's face sank in a moment.

"Why him?" Whispered.

Song Zhi just heard it.

"Brother Fang knows that man?" he asked

Fang Tong shook his head quickly.

Denied: "I don't know."

Obviously lying.

Song Zhi is not stupid, but he won't break the casserole and ask in the end.

I heard the man in purple ask the crowd, "why? No one can tell? It seems that no one can take these twenty Liang silver."

Everyone looked at each other and stared at the poem spread on the table.

there were many discussions.

I can't seem to think of a good poem!

Song zhiting was very curious. He craned his neck and looked, hoping to see the poem written by the man on the paper, but it was too far away, and someone stopped him, so he couldn't see it.

When I was thinking about whether to go over and have a look——

The opposite Fang Tong had already got up and walked over.

Song Zhi looked at him and sat in his chair for a moment.

Then he followed.

Into the crowd.

Fang Tong found Jiang Wen, who was also watching, bumped him with his arm, then looked at the man in purple silk and asked softly, "why didn't you say he was here?"

Jiang Wen lowered his voice and said, "I forgot to tell you."

"You..."

"It's all right. We haven't seen each other for six years. Who can mention the past!"

Fang Tong's face was ugly and asked, "so... He also came to see the conference examination this year?"

"Yes! Are you surprised?"

It's really strange!

So - Fang Tong fell into silence.
