Just after the praise was finished, someone else shook his head and read aloud:

Enjoy the clear light from the Moon Viewing Tower.

The blue sky is clear and the stars are sparse,

The Milky Way flows like silver fish.

Dancing with the moon on the clouds.

Immediately, there was another round of applause.

Someone who gathered around the talented scholar took the initiative to "appreciate" and said: "This poem is in line with the scenery of the Moon Viewing Tower, with a lofty artistic conception, graceful and delicate, worthy of Mr. Fu."

Most of the people present were scholars.

Tongsheng's status was not enough, so even if he could come, he basically had no chance to speak.

Juren and Jinshi, who were higher than scholars, were already considered officials, and generally would not lower their status to participate in these gatherings.

Only scholars would take the imperial examination this year, so they could take this opportunity to communicate more.

On the one hand, they could increase their knowledge, and on the other hand, they could make friends.

Now that everyone is a scholar, the status difference is not big, so it is easy to make friends.

After this year's imperial examination, the status may be very different, and it is impossible to make friends even if you want to.

Many people take this opportunity to make a few friends, and maybe this network will be useful in the future.

After all, making friends before passing the imperial examination and making friends after passing the imperial examination are completely different concepts.

If everyone passes the examination at the same time, they are "in the same year", and they must be more united and communicate with each other.

Zhang Tian said: "You are good at writing poems, right? Go over and learn and communicate with others."

As soon as Xu Wen came up, he heard two poems. He knew that his level was far above his own, and he was a little uncomfortable.

"Teacher, I am not very talented and learned, I am afraid..."

"Teacher?" The scholars nearby heard Xu Wen's words and came by reputation.

"Whose teacher? Is it a juren?"

The people behind heard the word "teacher" and thought that a great scholar came with his disciples.

They all looked over, ready to get to know him and make a good relationship.

Soon, 20 to 30 people focused their attention on Zhang Tian and Xu Wen.

Zhang Tian said calmly: "Say hello to everyone."

"Hey... Hello everyone. I am a scholar from Xiangyang, surnamed Xu, nice to meet you all."

Xu Wen was a little shy when he suddenly saw so many people.

Zhang Tian saw it and felt that Xu Wen was a bit like a student from the countryside in later generations.

In the place he was familiar with, he was very wild, slacking off, doing everything, and difficult to discipline.

Once he arrived in the city, he saw the city students dressed gorgeously and their talents overflowing, and he felt inferior immediately.

Fortunately, everyone was very enthusiastic.

"Hello, Brother Xu. I am Hu Shan from Shaoxing Prefecture, and I am also a scholar."

"I am from Pingjiang Prefecture, my surname is Chen..."

Someone asked, "Brother Xu, Xiangyang is far away from Lin'an Prefecture, you must have come before the New Year, right?"

Xu Wen nodded, "Yes."

"I wonder who your teacher is? You are so young, may I ask which year you passed the imperial examination?"

Everyone saw that Zhang Tian was about the same age as Xu Wen, and he was really too young.

There were many scholars who failed the imperial examinations many times and were older than Zhang Tian.

It was assumed that Zhang Tian must have a reputation, at least a juren or above.

Otherwise, how could he be a teacher of a scholar?

On the road to the imperial examination, the one who succeeded first came first.

Many scholars who have failed the imperial examinations for decades would be willing to be tutored by a juren.

No matter how old the other person is, they have to respectfully call him "teacher".

So, Zhang Tian's youth was not strange in everyone's eyes, but shocking.

At this age, he has passed the imperial examination, and he will definitely have a bright future.

Xu Wen shook his head and said, "Teacher, he is not a juren."

"Hiss..." Everyone was shocked.

"Could it be a jinshi?"

Xu Wen said, "Not a jinshi either."

"Uh..." Everyone was a little confused.

After a scholar passed the imperial examination, he became a juren, and in the mouths of ordinary people, he was called a juren master.

But this is not the end of the imperial examination.

After the juren, there is another joint examination, and those who passed it are called gongshi.

There is also a palace examination supervised by the emperor himself. After passing it, the gongshi can be called jinshi.

However, the palace examination is just a formality, and the passing rate is generally 100%, mainly to determine the top three.

Therefore, the gongshi above the juren is basically equivalent to the jinshi, and very few people are called gongshi.

If it is not a juren or a jinshi, the scholars don’t know how to guess.

Some people even speculated that Zhang Tian might be a descendant of a powerful family, and Xu Wen shamelessly addressed him as "teacher" in order to curry favor with him.

Zhang Tian said: "It doesn't matter what my identity is. Today, I mainly want my disciples to come here to communicate more."

As he said that, he gently pushed Xu Wen and signaled him to blend into the crowd.

There are very few scholars who can go to Wangyue Tower who are real nerds.

Seeing that Zhang Tian was unwilling to reveal his identity, he did not ask, but enthusiastically said to Xu Wen: "Brother Xu, the fourth floor is the Poetry Tower, if there are any good sentences, let us appreciate them. "

Xu Wen said: "I am ashamed that I have only been reading recently and have not written any poems."

"Brother Xu, you can write on the spot."

"Yes, yes, yes, now that Xiangyang has won a great victory, we are living in the Moon Viewing Tower, and this is the right topic."

Xu Wen held it in for a while, his face slightly red, and said: "I am ashamed that I have no literary ideas today."

Zhang Tian had seen Xu Wen write poems in Jiangzhou. Although he didn't know how good he was, his speed was not slow.

Now that he didn't dare to speak, he must have just heard other people's poems and felt ashamed of himself and didn't dare to speak.

So he said: "Xu Wen, it doesn't matter whether the poems are good or bad, what's important is communication. You read it out boldly."

"Teacher, I am not very talented and learned, so I won't show off in front of all the talented people."

Someone started to make a fuss: "Since I have no literary ideas, why don't you come out and demonstrate it."

"Not bad. As a teacher of a scholar, you must have some real knowledge. "

"This is the Poetry Tower, please leave a few words, so that you can go up."

They saw that Zhang Tian was neither a Juren nor a Jinshi, and Xu Wen, as his disciple, did not seem to have any talent.

Suddenly, the arrogance of being a scholar came up.

They took this opportunity to make a noise to see how Zhang Tian would respond.

Some scholars were about to follow the crowd and make a noise, but were suddenly stopped by the Lin'an Prefecture scholars they knew, who lowered their voices and said, "Don't make a noise. ”

Some of them are descendants of officials in the court.

Although Zhang Tianzhenren is a little different from the portrait, and his hairstyle has changed a little, it is not easy to tell at first glance.

But Xu Wen came with him, so he couldn’t be wrong.

Of course, they would not be so stupid as to expose Zhang Tian’s identity on the spot.

The immortal now brings his disciples to "play in the world", who doesn’t have the eyesight to directly expose it, wouldn’t he become the stupid son of the landlord?

Even secretly expecting something to happen.

The last time the immortal was "playing in the world" in Xiangyang, Xu Wen came out to "help", got the immortal fate, and was accepted as a disciple by the immortal.

If the immortal is "in trouble" this time, I have to rush to him quickly.

Zhang Tian smiled and said: "It’s okay to leave a few words, I’m afraid you can’t bear it. "
