Chapter 370 Just follow Jingyuan's wishes
The last three days have been a nightmare for Zhang Cong.

A group of examiners ran back and forth in front of Sun Dan's examination room, and from time to time they let out low exclamations, which made Zhang Cong's heart flustered beyond measure.

At the beginning, he was shocked by Sun Dan's method of writing three stereotyped essays at the same time, and he didn't recover for a long time.

When he finally calmed down and wanted to go back to the questions, he couldn't catch his train of thought.

Whenever encountering such a situation, Zhang Cong will adjust his state by sitting quietly, and when his heart is empty, his brain will become flexible.Immediately get yourself excited, and then use this emotion to do the questions.

Speaking of it, Zhang Cong is a very emotional person. Although he is talented, he is easily influenced by outside affairs and cannot concentrate.According to modern people's words, Zhang Cong has a little attention deficit syndrome, which is commonly known as ADHD.

This defect was very prominent when he was young, but when he got older, he became a great scholar by virtue of his outstanding intelligence.It's just that his problem made him have a rough life in his early years. Whether it was the boy's examination or the rural examination, it was very strenuous.The last time I tried, I lost my name to Sun Shan.

Unable to do so, he found an eminent monk and learned a method of nourishing qi, and gradually he became calmer.

He thought that Jinke would be able to win a Jinshi no matter what, and he was also full of confidence in this.

But who would have thought that by mistake, he would actually be the opposite of Sun Dan. In the past few days, he has also been harassed by Sun Dan so much that he can't calm down.

So, Zhang Cong sat on the bed and began to raise his energy. After sitting for an hour, he felt like a cup of tea that had been emptied. Then he stood up, and was about to take a deep breath, and then began to answer the questions. .

However, at this time, Sun Dan began to write poems on the wall.

Immediately afterwards, a large group of examiners ran over to watch with gleam in their eyes, talking non-stop in their mouths.

Ordinarily, the examiners also have a sense of proportion. Although they exclaimed in their mouths, their voices were small, so that they would not alarm other candidates.

It's a pity that Zhang Cong originally aimed to catch up with Sun Dan, and he was extremely concerned about Sun Dan's every move.

Although their voices were small, they fell into Zhang Cong's ears without leaving a word.

Also let him memorize all the poems that Sun Dan has made in the past few days.

Sun Dan's poems are naturally extremely exquisite, and Zhang Cong is also a person who knows the goods, and his heart was shocked suddenly, and he was so shocked by Sun Dan's poetry that he couldn't breathe.

"I think I, Zhang Cong, also claim to be the world's most talented and famous scholar, but Sun Dan's poetic drama, I can't write it no matter what."

"This kind of poetry is not only Zhang Cong, I am afraid... I am afraid that no one in the world can compare with him."

At this point, Zhang Cong felt that all thoughts were lost, and he sat on the chair as if in a nightmare, his mind was full of Sun Dan's poems flying around.

At the beginning, he also tried to write a poem with the same title on the title of Sun Dan to compare with him.But no matter how he thinks about it, compared with Sun Dan's poems, they are like imitations, so ugly that they cannot be tolerated.

Later, as Sun Dan wrote more and more poems, Zhang Cong, like Zhao Jian, gradually became numb.

During these three days, Sun Dan filled the three walls of the examination house, and copied hundreds of poems in total.It can be said that from the middle Ming Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, everything that could make a mark in the history of literature was wiped out by him.

And these three days, Zhang Cong could only sit blankly in the ocean of poetry, like a flat boat, ups and downs in the torrent stirred up by Sun Dan, until his soul was sent to Gao Tianyun by the torrent, and then I can't find it either.

His mood also changed from dissatisfaction at the beginning, to depression, then to despair, and finally to nothingness.

"I have to admit, in terms of talent alone, Zhang Cong...can't compare to Sun Jingyuan!"

It was not until the third afternoon that Zhang Cong woke up from the ignorant state of not eating or drinking.

Only then did he suddenly realize that there were only two hours left before handing in the paper.

Zhang Cong couldn't control so much now, so he quickly picked up his pen and started writing randomly.After writing in a fit of anger, Zhang Cong didn't know what he had written, anyway, he relied on a little instinct to support it.

When the last word was written, it happened to be time to hand in the paper.

Zhang Cong slowly put the brush on the table like a late old man.At this time, he realized that his eyes were covered with gum, and his hands were as rough as old tree bark.

He poured himself a bowl of water and was about to quench his thirst, but a haggard face was reflected on the water, and some of his beautiful jet-black beard had turned white.

Then, a few tears fell down, smashing the old man's reflection into pieces.

"This lesson, I, Zhang Cong, is finished. No matter how lucky I am, I am only a fellow Jinshi." After Zhang Cong finished crying, his heart felt empty: "Could it be that Sun Dan's words are true, and I Zhang Cong No chance to enter the Hanlin Academy, no chance to join the cabinet."

Recalling that day when he failed to plot Sun Dan, so that the big eagle and the little eagle were caught by Sun Dan, Huang Jin uttered obscenities.Zhang Cong didn't think that a mere fellow Jinshi could have any status in the Zhang Fei and Huang Jin system.

On that day, Huang Jin spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at himself, and cursed: "Ruru, Ruru, you have killed my big and small eagle, you are a fucking trash, you are good at talking big, you are really doing something. One pustule. Get out, get out of here!"

Zhang Cong was originally a famous person, and he was used to being flattered as "Mr. Luo Feng".

He also thought that if he could pass the Jinshi examination, or even Huiyuan, he would be able to win back this breath in front of Huang Jin.

However, looking at the current situation, it was too late.

To be honest, Zhang Cong does not blame Sun Dan, his poems are really wonderful.

It is good to be able to read such verses, even if you fail to win the Jinshi.

After handing in the papers, Zhang Cong suddenly settled down and smiled wryly: "Maybe I, Zhang Cong, was really eager for fame before, and I always wanted to take shortcuts, so that I was humiliated by villains. I can't blame Sun Dan for this, but blame me Zhang Cong." Zong couldn't hold back her heart. She deserved it!"

Anyway, this year's test is finally over, especially for Zhang Cong.Although there will be a palace test later, Zhang Cong doesn't think he is qualified.

After handing in the papers, they lined up to appear, which took a little longer.

There were already a lot of people in the small square outside. After the curtain came out, some of the candidates were crying, some were laughing, some were making trouble, some were happy and some were sad.

Among the crowd, Zhang Cong found Sun Dan, who seemed to be about to come forward to pick up his carriage.

Zhang Cong stepped forward and suddenly gave Sun Dan a deep bow.

Sun Dan hurriedly replied: "Why is Mr. Zhang doing this?"

Zhang Cong: "It is indeed my luck that Zhang Cong can have a same year with Jingyuan. If you have time, let's make an appointment to chat."

Sun Dan smiled: "That's exactly what I mean. If you are free, after a few days when everyone recovers, let's go to Baiyun Temple to read Taoism."

Zhang Cong nodded: "Just do what Jingyuan wants."
