A pool of autumn water was ruffled by the wind.

Zhang Yue looked at the tall and thin man in front of him, but he saw that he had long eyebrows on his temples and phoenix eyes that were majestic, but there was a sense of elegance between his eyebrows.

If a man is too refined, he will tend to be feminine, and if he is too majestic, he will tend to be violent. But the other person is neither more nor less, which makes people feel heroic, or more accurately, heroic.

Therefore, although the people around him were all outstanding scholars, they were nothing compared to him.

But so what?

If I weren't your relative, I wouldn't know your true face.

Zhang Yue went all over the place looking for stones behind the rockery, and he will hit you first.

Liu Ji looked at Zhang Yue and asked, "Sanlang, what are you doing?"

Zhang Yue said: "Nothing, the money is gone."

"I'm not looking for you anymore. You and I will come forward to greet you first."

After listening to the music, several celebrities turned their heads.

Zhang Dun's eyes also fell on Zhang Yue.

In the past, Zhang Yue was somewhat in awe of Zhang Dun, or to be precise, he was 'afraid'.

This impression comes from when I was young.

Zhang Yue couldn't help but remember that when Zhang Dun taught him to read in the past, he severely scolded him for being lazy.

After Zhang Yue was reprimanded, he thought of working hard for a few days, but then he was overcome by laziness.

In order to resist others urging him to study, Zhang Yue even adopted the method of "sleeping day and night", sleeping early in the morning and sleeping at night, sleeping day and night.

Within a month, Zhang Dun reported back to his father and brother, saying that... there was no cure, so it was better to give up humanely, which meant that he could consider having another child.

After Zhang Yue learned about this, he felt sad for more than half an hour.

Since Zhang Dun never taught him how to read, Zhang Yue once accidentally broke Zhang Dun's inkstone and was dragged out and beaten up by him.

The relationship between the two brothers has never been good. Zhang Dun mostly focused on his studies and did not want to ask more questions about Zhang Yue. When he encountered Zhang Yue, he would scold him a few times for his laziness. He did not make excuses like a father and brother who love Yao'er. When encountering a father and brother, he would protect Yao'er.

As he read the words, Zhang Dun felt even more disgusted with Zhang Yue.

The two looked at each other, and Zhang Yue couldn't help but almost call him "Second Brother" as he did at home, but he still swallowed the words.

But seeing Zhang Dun already smiling, looking like he was reunited after a long absence, Zhang Yue suddenly hesitated when he saw this.

But Zhang Dun shouted like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years: "Brother Zhidao!"

Zhang Yue thought to himself, fortunately he didn't open his mouth to humiliate himself.

Liu Ji, who was on the side, had already stepped forward and bowed to Zhang Dun, laughing loudly and saying, "Brother Zihou! I haven't seen you for several months, but my brother's demeanor is even better than before!"

Zhang Dun smiled and said: "Brother Zhidao, have you made any progress in your articles and poems? Let's go to Su Niang's place to drink and discuss poetry with you another day."

Zhang Yue listened and sneered in his heart. He went to a brothel to learn knowledge. Why didn't he go to an Internet cafe to do his homework?

Liu Ji smiled and said, "Thank you very much, brother Zihou for the promotion."

As he spoke, Liu Ji said to the bystanders: "When Su Niang was living in Beijing, she was almost kidnapped by an evil gentry. Brother Zihou and Su Niang met unexpectedly, but they were willing to rescue her. She is really the most ancient and warm-hearted person Liu has ever seen."

Zhang Dun smiled and waved his hand after hearing this.

The scholar on the side said: "Su Niang is now a famous prostitute in Bianjing. Many princes and princes have asked to meet her, but they didn't expect to have this experience."

Liu Ji said with a smile: "That's it. After Zihou rescued Su Niang, he gave her some gold and silver. But Su Niang had nowhere to make a living in Beijing, so she had to settle down as a prostitute. No one knew her experience. But for her

After becoming a famous prostitute, she visited Brother Zihou all over the place to repay his great kindness. It was also by chance that Liu learned about it, and it was because of his mother-in-law that he got acquainted with this strange man, Brother Zihou."

When everyone heard this, they all praised Zhang Dun and said it was a good story.

Zhang Dun glanced at himself and said to Liu Jiyan: "Brother Jidao, today I am introducing a good friend, Wang Tongsou, who won the Jinshi title last year and is now the Prime Minister of Dali Temple."

Liu Ji said happily: "I have heard about the name of Guan San Dun Qi for a long time! Now I see Brother Wang's golden face. I am really honored."

The man opposite Zhang Yue was Wang Guan. Both he and Zhang Dun were famous for their writing of letters and prose, and they were named Guan San Dun Qi in the capital.

This ranking of Dun Qi naturally follows the ranking of Suzhou Zhang family.

Wang Guan was also a great talent. When he saw Liu Ji, he also smiled and said: "Brother Zhidao is serious. Zi Hou and I are equally famous in terms of poetry, but we don't dare to write articles. Besides, if it were me, I wouldn't abandon the purpose and take the exam again."

He is not as courageous as Fu Yuan of Kaifeng Prefecture, and I am far less audacious than him."

Everyone laughed.

Liu Ji smiled and said, "Brother Wang, you really know how to joke."

Wang Guan smiled, looked at Zhang Yue and couldn't help but ask: "Who is this? Please forgive my blindness for not knowing your surname."

Zhang Yue saw Wang Guan and asked about him. He stepped forward and said, "Zhang Yue lived in Xiapu City. Now he lives with Brother Liu and studied at Taixue together. He has long admired the great name Wang Yuan."

Wang Guan, the current Prime Minister of Dali Temple, is a capital official. He can be called Yuanwai. If he is a low-ranking court official, he can be called Langzhong. The same is true for military attachés.

Lieutenant.

But later on, wealthy businessmen could be called officers and soldiers, and small pawns could be called captains.

When Wang Guan heard this, he thought to himself that this boy was unknown. All the young people who came here today were young heroes. How could he be here?

Wang Guan smiled and said: "It turns out to be Brother Zhang."

Zhang Yue followed Zhang Dun's example and saluted Wu Anshi behind him: "I have met Mr. Dalang. Thank you for your kind invitation."

Wu Anshi smiled and said: "Sanlang is so polite."

After Wu Anshi finished speaking, she glanced at Zhang Dun.

There were two others, Zhang Yue also greeted them one by one, but Zhang Dun was the only one who did not greet them.

But Zhang Yue turned around and looked at Zhang Dun.

Zhang Dun had been smiling just now, but now his smile had subsided when he looked at Zhang Yue.

Everyone noticed that there was something strange between the two.

After taking a closer look, I noticed a lot. The two of them had the same surname Zhang, and their faces were somewhat similar... But one was wearing a jade robe made of Shu brocade, and the other was just wearing a robe worn by common people, and they didn't look like a family.

.

Zhang Yue saluted and said, "I've met Brother Dun!"

Zhang Dun said calmly: "I thought you had made some progress after joining the Taixue Society over the years, but you are still like this."

Zhang Yue listened to Zhang Dun's familiar tone, which was still instructive.

Having said this, Zhang Dun said to the people around him: "This is my younger brother. He came from a remote place to the capital and doesn't understand the rules. He usually lacks discipline and makes you laugh."

Everyone except Wu Anshi was a little surprised when they heard this. How could these two look like brothers?

But seeing that Zhang Yue didn't say a word except for "Brother Dun", everyone couldn't make random guesses. This was a family matter and it was not good to get involved.

At this time, someone suddenly said: "Ziping is here."

But I saw a man in his thirties approaching.

It is none other than last year's top pick, Lang Zhangheng.

Everyone bowed to Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng was appointed as the Supervisor of Huzhou, and now he has returned to Beijing to resume his duties.

The first person to be awarded the title of No. 1 Scholar is generally appointed as the eunuch, which is an official position with a stipend.

According to the way of separation of salary and dispatch in the Song Dynasty, this name is meaningless. You only need to know that it is from the sixth rank official.

The state judge is the deacon, the real office.

As for the number one scholar who was first awarded a lower rank, he was first assigned to judge affairs in Dali Temple and sign judgments for Jiedushi.

However, the previous champions of the Renzong Dynasty, such as Zhang Heng and others, all used generals as supervisors and ministers, and there were almost no judges in Dali Temple. However, there have been too many official abuses in recent years, especially the official examinations held every two years in recent years, which has led to

A high-ranking person never fails to use it every day.'

Therefore, the official issued another imperial edict this month: "The imperial examination will be promoted to the third level, and the first Jinshi will be dismissed from Dali Temple to judge affairs, sign a letter, and be promoted to general judge, and then serve as a full examination official."

Therefore, Zhang Heng may be the last number one scholar to be released as a general in the next few years.

Zhang Heng came among the crowd.

The atmosphere in the Song Dynasty most respected the number one scholar. When he came among everyone, he immediately attracted attention.

Zhang Heng greeted everyone one by one. When it was Zhang Dun's turn, the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

As we all know, Zhang Dun gave up his official position because Zhang Heng was ranked higher than him. When the two of them met, did you act like a clan uncle, or did you address the other person as the No. 1 Scholar?

Although Zhang Dun is ten years younger than Zhang Heng.

Now Zhang Dun is the Yuan of Kaifeng Prefecture. Although he is not as good as the number one scholar, he still manages to win back a victory.

The two of them faced each other without speaking, but Zhang Heng looked at Zhang Yue and said with a smile: "I heard that Sanlang entered the Imperial Academy?"

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Yes, the chief has won the first prize, and he hasn't congratulated him yet."

Zhang Heng smiled and said to everyone: "When I had not gone to Beijing to take the exam, I was studying in the same clan as Sanlang. When I came out of Fujian, everyone congratulated me for being named on the gold medal list. Only Sanlang congratulated me for being the best in the world."
