Xu Wangu, isn't this too much for saving face?
And as soon as Xu Qingxiao answered, several people suddenly showed great joy.
"I am a scholar from Beilin County. I just arrived in Nanyu Mansion yesterday, and I heard that Brother Xu wrote lyrics for a banquet. A song full of Jianghong, fulfilling the wishes of our generation of scholars. When I saw you today, Brother Xu is indeed magnificent and heroic. "
"Yes, yes, Brother Xu, great talent, since I read your nouns, I have hardly any sleep at night. I just look forward to seeing your face sooner."
"Brother Xu, I have a request that I didn't ask for. Can Brother Xu give me a name, so that even if I fail the test, at least my visit is not in vain."
Several people opened their mouths, saying all kinds of compliments, just like a little fanboy.
The so-called name is actually a signature.
Understanding the other party's intentions, Xu Qingxiao was also very polite. After nodding, they were even more joyful. They took out the booklet, opened the first page, handed Xu Qingxiao a small brush, and even prepared an ink bag.
With a little ink on it, Xu Qingxiao's name will be on the list.
Soon, almost in an instant, Xu Qingxiao signed the names of the three of them. Just after the signing was over, before Xu Qingxiao put down his brush, another four or five people came, and their purpose was the same.
It is a common thing to find a scholar you like to be named, and it is also a relatively compelling thing.
Xu Qingxiao is easy-going, it can be said that he will not refuse anyone who comes.
Before Maoshi, all the literati were either waiting patiently or chatting.
Hearing Xu Qingxiao's appearance suddenly, and signing autographs for others, he fell like a stone into an ancient pool in an instant, stirring up a thousand layers of waves.
"Quick, what are you doing here in a daze, Xu Wangu is here."
"What? Xu Wangu is here?"
"Xu Wangu is giving someone a name, let's go there quickly."
"Xu Wangu will at least be a great Confucian in the future. If a great Confucian writes his pen, it will be mounted at home in the future, and it will bring blessings to his children and grandchildren."
"Take me one, take me one."
"Who is Xu Wangu? I've never heard of it. Why are you looking for him to be named?"
"What? Xu Wangu is Xu Qingxiao? The one with Jianghong written all over it? Brother, wait for me."
The crowd boiled instantly, and they were idle anyway, so it was not a bad idea to run to ask for an autograph.
at this time.
The crowd around Xu Qingxiao surged, and there were hundreds of people inside and outside, all of whom came to seek fame.
Among the crowd, Wang Ru and others worked hard to maintain order. Xu Qingxiao was also a little panicked when he saw this scene. Hundreds of men rushed towards him like wolves and tigers. Who can resist this?
On the other hand, Chen Xinghe watched all this with a calm face.
Actually, Chen Xinghe wanted to ask a question.
Do you want my name down?
But he couldn't say that.
Taking a look at Xu Qingxiao, who was sought after by everyone, Chen Xinghe was a little envious, but his will was even stronger.
After the government test today.
He wanted everyone to know that Chen Xinghe was the most talented person in Nanyu Mansion.
At that time, you begged me, Chen, to write for you, but I, Chen, would not give it.
Just as Chen Xinghe was thinking about it, a voice sounded out of nowhere.
"Excuse me, is your Excellency Chen Xinghe, Brother Chen?"
This is a handsome Confucian student, holding a booklet and a brush in his hand.
"Yes."
At this moment, Chen Xinghe became excited inside.
Finally someone recognizes me, Mr. Chen.
Very good, seeing that you have a pair of discerning eyes, I will give you a name, the first to be named, and you can brag to your descendants in the future.
Chen Xinghe thought so in his heart.
And the latter also handed out the booklet and brush and said, "I heard that brother Chen is Xu Wangu's elder brother, can you help me get a name?"
The handsome man said excitedly.
The next moment, Chen Xinghe, who had already stretched out his hand, slowly withdrew it, with a cold expression on his face.
"I want it myself."
After saying this, he took half a step back, looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose, and turned on the self-closing mode.
At this moment, the commotion outside the courtyard also attracted the attention of the inside.
Nanyu Gongyuan.
In the examination room, nine old men stood not far away, watching the commotion outside.
"In another hour, it will be the time of the government examination. Why is it so noisy outside?"
The old man in the middle frowned slightly and asked.
"Going back to Mr. Zhao, I just inquired about it. It seems that Xu Qingxiao is here. These literati are a little excited."
Someone answered and told the reason.
"Xu Qingxiao? Xu Qingxiao who is full of Jianghong?"
He asked a question, then continued.
"It's really remarkable to be able to make an eternity. It's good for a hero to be a teenager, but it doesn't need to be treated like this."
"Let someone stop the noise for a while, and open the courtyard door when the time comes."
Master Zhao said slowly.
This Mr. Zhao has a great background, he is from the Hanlin Academy, and he is in charge of the Nanyu Mansion Examination.
Those who came from the capital city were indeed big.
Xu Qingxiao's name is well-known in Nanyu. Even if a normal scholar has studied for a few years, he will be polite when he sees Xu Qingxiao. After all, who doesn't want to get acquainted with promising young people?
But Mr. Zhao Yuan, not only did not have any surprises, on the contrary, he was as usual.
Thinking about it, the Hanlin Academy of the Great Wei Dynasty is after all a place where officials from all over the world gather, so how could there be mediocre people.
Soon, the Gongyuan sent people to stop the commotion outside the mansion.
Xu Qingxiao heaved a sigh of relief as someone stopped him, and Wang Ru and the others were even more out of breath.
Fortunately, everything has calmed down.
This group of literati is really too fierce, if it wasn't for the official sent to stop, Xu Qingxiao felt that this group of people would touch her.
However, at this moment, Li Xin came over.
After making a salute with Xu Qingxiao, he gave Xu Qingxiao a look.
Xu Qingxiao understood immediately, and after responding with a smile, the two didn't say anything.
That's it, until Maoshi.
"enter."
With a bell and a loud voice, the government test is about to begin.
The door of the tribute courtyard was opened, twenty officials gathered together, and the students lined up in four teams and entered one by one.
First, take out the road guide certificate, then take out the entrance examination certificate for the government, and finally check whether there is a cheat sheet on the body or whether there are any traces on the clothes.
After strict inspection, this person is allowed to enter.
The benefits of fame are instantly reflected at this moment.
Xu Qingxiao was originally at the back, but everyone gave way one after another, forcing Xu Qingxiao to the front row.
After a while, Xu Qingxiao took the number plate and walked into the tribute courtyard.
There are four examination rooms in Nanyu Gongyuan, Xu Qingxiao is the examination room A, randomly selected.
After entering the Gongyuan, Xu Qingxiao basically followed Chen Xinghe.
It was his first time to take the government test, and he didn't understand many things.
"Junior brother, come with me."
After entering the Gongyuan, Chen Xinghe spoke in a low voice, asking Xu Qingxiao to follow him.
The two walked side by side, walked into the inner hall, took three sticks of incense, and bowed towards the four directions. There were portraits of saints hanging on the four sides of the hall.
However, these portraits are not the real person, but fictional, which is a kind of modification.
After paying homage to the saint, walk through the inner hall, the left is the examination room for A and B, and the right is the examination room for Bing and Ding.
"Junior brother, you go to the left, brother Wang Ru and I go to the right, take the exam well, and meet us at the inn after the exam."
"Oh, by the way, this is for your pen, ink and research paper."
Chen Xinghe opened his mouth, pointed to the entrance on the left, and at the same time took out a small bundle from his sleeve, which was the pen, ink, paper and inkstone prepared for Xu Qingxiao.
"Thank you, brother."
Seeing the pen and ink handed over by the other party, Xu Qingxiao took it. Chen Xinghe had prepared it for Xu Qingxiao before coming. He was worried that Xu Qingxiao would lose it, so he kept it in his hand.
Afterwards, the three of them bowed to each other and left separately.
After saying goodbye, Xu Qingxiao walked towards the Class A examination room.
Not long after, the whole picture of the examination room appeared in Xu Qingxiao's eyes.
There are two rows horizontally and vertically, a relatively small space, no shelter in front, just a desk, and each examination room is checked back and forth by two examiners.
After handing over the number plate, someone pointed out Xu Qingxiao's location.
Relatively front, seventh place.
After entering the examination room, Xu Qingxiao moved a little more slowly. The strictest rule in the examination room is that no noise is allowed.
After entering his room, Xu Qingxiao realized how strict the scientific examination was.
In the small room, it is rather dark. There are two buckets on the left and right, one is for convenience, and the other is filled with clean water.
There is only one government test, and the time is three hours.
After being seated.
Xu Qingxiao waited quietly.
Nearly half an hour passed.
Many people gathered here one after another.
Glancing at the sky, it was already midnight.
Chen time officially began the exam.
At this moment, an old man came to Xu Qingxiao, this is the examiner.
In his sixties, with gray hair and a smile on his face, he looked at Xu Qingxiao and said.
"Xu Dacai?"
"Meet sir."
Xu Qingxiao got up to salute.
The latter waved his hand and said, "Don't be like this, take the exam well and win some glory for Nan Yu."
The old man laughed.
And Xu Qingxiao nodded with a smile.
After the old man left, Xu Qingxiao was not idle, and arranged the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the small bag one by one.
After placing it.
Xu Qingxiao began to study ink in advance.
But study and study.
