Zhu Zhishan was already detained at Cui's house, so Ryan Cui had to make the rest. Ryan Cui asked Zhu Zhishan's servant and doorman to take his name card to the guild hall, and the porters in the guild hall moved Zhu Zhishan's luggage and the accompanying servants.
Gu Lin and several other scholars who lived in the Suzhou Guild Hall also took the opportunity to come and watch the excitement while moving luggage. They passed on any news among scholars, and soon all the scholars living in the guild halls, guest houses, and people's homes in the nearby streets knew that Zhu Zhide was favored by Ryan Cui, a co-examiner of this year's imperial examination and a two-yuan talent, and was allowed to move to his home to study.
Li Zhaoxian, who was out for a walk, was also taken away by a scholar he knew and followed to the door of Cui's house.
Arriving at his senior brother's house was like arriving at his own home. Before, he was brought by others, but here he turned the tables and became the host, waving his hand to greet the young men who wanted to enter but did not dare to: "It is even more rude not to visit when you have come to my house. Today, I will take you as bad guests, come forward and see what kind of talent my senior brother has accepted as his new disciple."
He pulled his classmate and walked in. When the candidates watching nearby saw others entering, they all boldly followed suit, wanting to see what the home of the talented scholar who won two top prizes in the imperial examination was like.
