February is the time to explore spring.

Visitors are not allowed to enjoy the gardens of some wealthy homes, and they are allowed to come and go freely.

Taking advantage of this sunny season, the people of Bianjing went out of the city at will, only to see the fields full of spring, the warm weather, thousands of flowers blooming, and the white walls and thin willows. It was a beautiful scene in spring.

Every year, new students come from all over the world. The old students who have passed the exam or those who have failed do not want to continue to suffer in Taixue without looking back. Therefore, every time this season comes, it is also the time for Taixue to let go of the old and adopt the new.

As for the Taixue Pagoda, the newly arrived Taixue students went out together under the leadership of the old students.

Carrying wine and food, they went away, drank wine, composed poems, watched dances and operas, admired flowers and grass, but saw that "Half a day back from Taigao, I saw the imperial capital Shilichun".

After returning home with friends and company, I saw countless Yan Pavilion and Song Pavilions on both sides of Taixue, in the secluded lanes and alleys. Women in red makeup were playing the harp on the terraced pavilions, and white-faced singers were singing in low voices between the painted bridges and flowing water. I had just arrived in Bian.

The students in Beijing were all dazzled by this.

When I got closer, I saw the Qin Tower and Chu Pavilion with carved beams and painted pillars, flying eaves and brackets. There were many servants and horses in front of the door, and rich young people came to visit. Inside the house, there were many scholars and luxurious cloth mats.

Not only the wealthy students spend a lot of money, but also the scholars from poor families can't help but spend the only food and clothing provided by their families.

But for scholars who are alone outside, they usually get along with classmates, so they will inevitably go to brothels to find solace. So every year, some Taipei students become addicted to female sex and end up neglecting their studies.

Zhang Yue glanced at the bright spring light and once again set his sights on the archery target.

In the archery garden of Taixue, many Taixue students gathered here, but they saw several young people setting up their bows and shooting arrows, but they saw that every arrow landed in the center of the target.

"Those who remove the willow leaves and shoot at them at a hundred steps will always hit the target."

Zhang Yue said, raised his hand, raised his bow and charged up an arrow, hitting the target.

There were cheers from left and right.

"Du Zhi's shooting skills have really improved a lot compared to three years ago."

Zhang Yue smiled when he heard this, and shooting an arrow could be regarded as a way to kill his frustration.

After saying that, Zhang Yue shot another arrow into the center of the target.

Han Zhongyan said: "If you pass it, the results will be released the next day. You are really calm and relaxed shooting arrows here."

Zhang Yue said: "The archery ceremony is an ancient ceremony. It is said that a gentleman has nothing to fight for, so he must also shoot. This archery ceremony is like a provincial test. If you fail, you will not blame the winner, but seek others."

Han Zhongyan smiled.

The people on the side laughed and said: "In ancient times, kings used archery to select soldiers, while in rural archery, princes used archery to select talents. This archery skill can be used to select both soldiers and talents."

Zhang Yue smiled faintly and said: "Brother Cheng, you are lucky, I don't have such luck."

"It's too modest."

While everyone was chatting, they saw the newly arrived Taixue students in the distance enjoying themselves in Taixue. The expressions on their faces were very similar to when they and Huang Haoyi first came to Taixue.

The metabolism of the old and the new, the renewal of personnel and affairs, is the common law of the world. It is spring again.

One of the freshmen who was enjoying the tour of Taixue asked an old student next to him: "I wonder who in Shepu is Zhang Duzhi?"

Someone else asked: "What did you ask him to do?"

The student was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the other person and said, "That's it. When I came to the Imperial College, I wanted to get acquainted with Zhang Duzhi. I heard that he often lives in Shepu, so I asked him if he was the same person?"

"Oh? What are you looking for Zhang Duzhi for?"

"I have admired him for a long time and would like to meet him to learn more about him."

"I am Zhang Duzhi..."

The student couldn't help but said with great joy: "So you are the one, whose name I have admired for a long time."

Hearing this, the other party smiled and said: "I am... Zhang Duzhi's classmate Huang Haoyi, also known as Huang Silang."

The student's smile suddenly froze on his face.

"You said you've been admiring for a long time...and you're rising from admiration for a long time?"

"I know Zhang Duzhi's three-character poem, Ci Tong San Chuan, his origins, and the Qingyu Case. I came to Taixue this time to get to know Zhang Duzhi."

"Du Zhi is always very busy. I'm afraid you don't have the time. Don't worry, I can recommend him to you..."

"Thank you..."

"Don't be too busy thanking... As the saying goes, a Qiji cannot be with a donkey, and a phoenix cannot be with a flock of sparrows. My brother Huang Jidao, Huang Silang's family, is a close friend of Du's, and is not only familiar with his brother Zhang Zihou.

Or in-laws...do you know about it?"

The other party hurriedly said: "It turns out that I am a good friend of Senior Du. I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"It's easy. I'll treat you to a glass of wine and talk to you slowly."

The other party said continuously: "I don't dare, I don't dare. Please give me your advice. I should have invited you."

Huang Haoyi nodded and said: "There are two new ladies in the brothel in the alley. You and I will go together..."

"Ah?" The other party's expression suddenly changed and he covered the money bag around his waist.

That day, Huang Haoyi returned to the studio as if he was full of food and wine.

Zhang Yue and Huang Lu were chatting. When Huang Lu saw Huang Haoyi like this, he couldn't help but said, "Has Silang eaten? I also left some food for you."

Huang Haoyi shook his head and said, "It's okay if you don't drink the rotten vegetable stem soup in the restaurant."

"Tell me earlier."

Huang Haoyi sat down and whispered: "I heard some news recently, do you know?"

"What's the matter? Don't try to show off."

"Wang Junmin's matter."

Zhang Yue and Huang Lu looked at each other. Zhang Yue said, "Let's not discuss these hearsay words about him."

"Have you known this for a long time?" Huang Haoyi said.

"That's it. Will you go with me to your Zhangfu birthday party tomorrow?"

Zhang Yue was speechless.

"Did you know that Zhang Zhifu will also come here from Suzhou tomorrow?"

Zhang Jie?

Zhang Kai is the grandson of Zhang Pin. Zhang Pin gave up his qualifications for the palace examination due to Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty who decreed that brothers should not be admitted to the imperial examination at the same time. He would take the imperial examination again six years later.

Since then, his official career has been smooth, and he has served as a supervisory censor.

At that time, the imperial envoy Liu Mei was a relative of Empress Liu (Liu E) and was dominating the capital. Zhang Pin was dismissed by Song Zhenzong for impeaching Liu Meiyi.

After Song Renzong came to the throne, he remembered the minister who dared to impeach the Queen Mother Liu's family (Liu E) and asked Zhang Dexiang to use him. Zhang Dexiang said that Zhang Pin had died of illness.

So today, in the name of Zhang Dexiang, Zhang Kai was granted the title of Mengzhou Sihu to join the army.

However, once Zhang Kai became an official, he did not want to make progress and continued to study for the imperial examination.

The great ancestors of Zhang Yue, Zhang Dun, and Zhang Kai are all Zhang Renche, the fifth son of Zhang Zijun, so from this perspective, they are still brothers who have not appeared in the fifth server.

As for Zhang Dexiang and Zhang Heng, they both came from the branch of Zhang Rensong, the fourth son of Zhang Zijun.

Therefore, in terms of blood relationship, Zhang Yue and Zhang Kai are closer than Zhang Heng.

Zhang Zijun has a total of fifteen sons. The more prominent the better, the better. The less prominent ones like Zhang Yue will gradually become a poor family. However, the poor family still has a family. It is also a qualification to call oneself a descendant of a poor family. This shows that the ancestors were once wealthy.

Pass.

If you were not even from a poor family, you would have almost no chance of getting ahead in the Song Dynasty. It was only in the Ming Dynasty that the poor were given a ladder.

Now the Pucheng Zhang family has long spread its branches in various places. For example, Zhang Pin and Zhang Yu have settled in Suzhou.

I heard that Zhang Dun had a good relationship with Zhang Kai when they were in Suzhou, and that the two were equally famous as brothers. Officials in Suzhou were vying to get to know each other, so they came to Beijing and showed their prominence.

In the past, Zhang Yue would definitely have got to know the general who almost destroyed Xixia in history.

If Zhang Kai hadn't been dragged down by Zhang Dun, his reputation might not be weaker than Di Qing's.

But now...Zhang Yue himself was disappointed in the examination and was in no mood.

Zhang Yue was tossing and turning over the collapse. He thought of the people who had placed high hopes on him, and how disappointed they would be when the results were released.

There are also classmates in Taixue. Although we all get along well with each other, the third place in the previous interpretation test was somewhat enviable. What would it be like if I knew I had fallen?

When Zhang Yue took the provincial examination before, he felt that he had already predicted the result and could accept such a result. However, when things came to pass, he was still not calm and could not deal with it with a normal heart.

The more Zhang thought about this, he couldn't help but touch the cold clothes on the bed.

This piece of Hanyu and the cow-ear pen were gifts from the Seventeenth Mother.

Although Zhang Yue had not had much contact with this lady from the Wu family, he already felt that she was a woman with her own opinions.

It's not that Shiqi Niang is bad, who wouldn't like such a gentle, generous, beautiful and intelligent woman.

However, Zhang Yue felt a faint pressure in her eyes.

Could it be that if such a woman likes a man, she would like to make decisions for him, help him plan, and even follow the route arranged by her?

It seems that this is not the case.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue simply felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach. He ate too much and now wanted to eat something easier to digest.
