"Hit! Hit! Hit ......"

An old man with white hair and beard, wearing a shirt, but with no hat on his head, braved the spring rain and rushed all the way from the direction of Donghua Gate, running and shouting loudly, like crazy.

His shout reached a private seat in the west building of Fengle Building, which was far away from Donghua Gate, and several young people who were also wearing shirts who were drinking and feasting heard this shout, and they all stood up and walked to the window, looking at the white-haired lifter who was rushing from the direction of Donghua Gate, they all sighed in unison, and then began to discuss.

"What's the bottom? The list will be released tomorrow! ”

"Yes, even if the list is not placed in Donghua Gate, it is not the list of the palace test, the list of the Ministry of Rites is placed outside the gate of the Guozi Prison."

"Looks like another crazy one!"

A man with long blond hair and a big mouth sighed, "Every time Dabi someone goes crazy...... How many times is this year? ”

"The fourth, right? It looks like an old cuo, but it's estimated that he has failed to try, and there is no hope. ”

"Why don't you ask for a special name?"

"Maybe it's not qualified, right?"

The blonde man then called out to a servant, "Take some men to stop the old man and send him back to his lodgings...... At such an old age, I don't know if there are any juniors with me? ”

"Brother Jiang Ming is really righteous!"

Someone on the side immediately said compliments. It turned out that this blonde was still a student Wang Hao, who had a relationship with Wu Haogu, and he also participated in the big competition of this subject, but he didn't feel sure. Therefore, I don't prepare for the palace test, but set up wine and banquets in good places such as Fengle Building, Wang Building, and Pan Building every day, and invite those popular people to eat and drink, so as to make personal connections.

Wang Hao glanced at the person who had just spoken to compliment him, it was Xie Yuan Fan Jin of the Daimyo Mansion. I don't know how I did in the exam? Anyway, if you are invited, you will come, and when you come, you will eat and drink, and you will look like there is no tomorrow today. But it's good to hear......

"Brother Jin," Wang Hao said with a smile, "Why don't we go to the Guozijian tomorrow to see the list?" If it's high school, when the national mourning is over, I'll go to the Fanglou to have a good time, how about it? ”

"Good!" Fan Zhijin gritted his teeth, "Even if you land, you have to go to Fanglou to lose your soul!" ”

Wang Hao laughed and said, "Okay! Deal! ”

……

When Wang Hao and Fan Zhijin made an appointment to go to Fanglou to lose their souls, Wu Haogu was riding a horse all over the street to chase a crazy old man.

Uh, probably crazy!

Anyway, after Wu Haogu told Wu Zhongyi the good news of "the penultimate in high school", the old man suddenly cried, and then turned around and rushed out of Donghua Gate, shouting "Hit!" Hit! ”

How is this reaction similar to what is written in "Fan Jinzhongju"?

As for it? Isn't it just a 561-dignitude jinshi...... Most of them will be awarded a county lieutenant, and they don't know where they will be sent? Why are you crazy with joy? Is this worthy of the ancestors? The ancestor was an emperor! An official like a county lieutenant, let alone doing it, he is too lazy to see it.

Wu Haogu smiled bitterly in his heart, but there was no way, for the sake of Wu Zetian's grandmother, he had to chase him back. So he hurriedly chased out of Donghua Gate, took a horse from the hand of the servant, and rode to find Wu Zhongyi, who had disappeared.

What should I do if I find it? Wu Haogu thought to himself: Why don't you slap him and wake him up? I don't know if my wrist hurts after pumping him? Why don't you smoke a little lighter?

"Ben Jinshi is not crazy! Ben Jinshi is really in high school, it's 561, it's really not crazy, you see Ben Jinshi like a crazy person......"

Wu Zhongyi had already been "caught" at this time, not by Wang Hao's servants, but by several military soldiers from Kaifeng Mansion.

At the foot of the Emperor of Kaifeng Mansion, the law and order is very good, especially in the inner city, there are military patrol shops everywhere, and the management is very wide, from killing people and arsons to the disputes between the vendors and customers on the street, of course, including the arrest of madmen. Although the madman does not violate the king's law, he can't let them wander around the streets, and if they don't do it, they will hurt people, so they still have to be arrested.

During this time, because it was a big competition for the imperial examination, Kaifeng Mansion gathered five or six thousand people...... It's a lot of mental pressure! It is inevitable that there will be people who commit madness, and most of them are old people who have failed to try.

In other words, although the imperial examination is more fair, there is no upper age limit for the imperial examination, and the "winning rate" is low, so it is quite delaying. For example, Wu Haowen and Ji Yi are proud of their lives after taking the exam, but more of them are poor scholars who come and go to the exam.

It's okay if the family has money, and the most they can raise is it. But those who don't have much money and always have a fluke mentality are miserable!

Delaying a lifetime is actually a high-probability event!

Therefore, every time the imperial examination is released to the release of the list, there are several crazy ones, and the military patrol soldiers in Kaifeng Mansion are not surprised. But they caught it wrong this time, because Wu Zhongyi was really not crazy, he was just venting his emotions......

Sixty-six years old, since the age of sixteen, I have been dreaming of the title of the gold list, fifty years of stumbling in the field, today I finally got my wish, can you not be excited?

As soon as I was excited, I was a little out of control, and I rushed out of Donghua Gate while running, and my hat was lost while running, and one of my shoes fell off, and my hair was a little scattered, and I was shouting all the way...... Looks a bit like a madman!

So several military patrolmen went up and arrested him.

He also knew that people misunderstood him, so he quickly explained: "The old man is not crazy, the old man just came from Donghua Gate, and the old man really got ......"

A shop soldier laughed: "Not crazy yet? The palace exam hasn't been taken yet, so you're taking a roll call outside the Donghua Gate? ”

Wu Zhongyi said solemnly: "The old man is a high school examiner of the Ministry of Rites, ranked 561st, ranked last, but he is also a jinshi!" ”

"The Ministry of Rites trial list is in Guozijian, and the list will be released tomorrow."

Wu Zhongyi was a little anxious, "The old man knows, the old man learned about it from the official family." ”

Everyone laughed: "Official? Hahaha......"

The old man really couldn't explain, and the more he described it, the darker it became. When he was in a hurry, he heard the neighing of horses, and then he found that all the soldiers who had been surrounding him had dispersed, and then he saw an official in a green robe approaching, and when he was about to take a closer look, the official actually slapped him and shouted.

"You old cuo! You've hit the bottom of it! ”

Wu Zhongyi was a little stunned, and looked at the person in front of him in a daze, it was actually Wu Haogu!

"Da Lang, why are you beating me?" He asked, and suddenly felt that what Wu Haogu said just now was wrong, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked with his eyes glaring, "What did you just say?" Didn't the old man win? ”

Wu Haogu looked at the old man who was blowing his beard and glaring, and found that the other party seemed to be sober, so he breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that his slap was still effective.

A good one-man scholar can not be happy and crazy, so it won't become the laughing stock of Kaifeng Mansion?

Thinking of this, Wu Haogu hurriedly pulled Wu Zhongyi and left, today is really embarrassing!

Wu Zhongyi asked repeatedly: "Da Lang, say it quickly, say it quickly, do you miss it?" ”

"Hit, hit," Wu Haogu had to say, "No. 561, the penultimate Jinshi...... Don't go crazy anymore. ”

"Crazy? The old man is not crazy...... The old man has fallen to Sun Shan more than a dozen times, how can he be crazy if he is hit? ”

……

When Wu Haogu dragged a "not crazy" old jinshi back to the Wu family's mansion, the three people who followed Wu Zhongyi from Luoyang Baibo were standing outside the door in the rain, looking very anxious.

It turned out that Wu Chengzhi had already returned home, and he also brought the good news of Wu Haowen and Wu Zhongyi's high school, as well as the bad news that Wu Zhongyi was suspected of going crazy.

The three Bai Bo people are all in a hurry, how many years has it taken Bai Bo Yimen Wu to hold back a Jinshi...... Oh, it's not a jinshi yet, and the palace exam hasn't been taken yet! If you go crazy, won't you lose all your efforts?

The three of them were about to cry, and they all chanted in their hearts: Ancestors bless.

Now I saw that Wu Zhongyi, who was drenched like a chicken in soup, came back, and he looked normal, so he hurriedly rushed up and helped people into the house.

Wu Haogu was also wet by the rain, and after handing over the reins to a family member, he saw Ximen Qing, who was in confinement, standing inside the door to greet him, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said to her: "This time it is a two-entry scholar, and Brother Yin of the Mi family has also been selected, and Ji Yi has been in the province of Yuan...... It seems that the palace test is that he and his second brother are competing to be the champion. ”

Ximen Qing said to her husband with some distress: "You are soaked, hurry up and take a hot bath, and the slave will ask the kitchen to boil a ginger soup for you." ”

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "Don't worry, my body is much better now...... How are you? ”

"The slave is very good."

Wu Haogu nodded and said with a smile: "Now I'm relieved, then let's go back to the Pear Blossom Courtyard tonight, the eighteenth sister is about to give birth." When she is finished, our family will be separated temporarily. ”

The "difference" he said was divided into three, Wu Haogu went to Jiehe Shang City to be his "head", Pan Qiaolian stayed in Kaifeng Mansion to sit in town, and Ximen Qing wanted to go to Haizhou to look at Wu Haogu's family business in Haizhou.

Due to the establishment of Donghai Commercial Bank and Yuntai Commercial Bank, Wu Haogu's business in Haizhou has also expanded a lot compared to the plan.

In addition, Wu Yanen of the Wu family in Haizhou went to Kaifeng Mansion in mid-February, and brought the title deed of 60,000 mu of paddy fields in Haizhou, which was sold to Wu Haogu for 210,000 yuan - this money was not withdrawn from the inner account room, but paid with the bribes that Wu Haogu received in January and February!

He is now a confidant of the official family, and accepting a bribe of more than 200,000 yuan is nothing, right?

"I've already discussed it with the eighteenth sister," Wu Haogu instructed as he walked to his inner house with Ximen Qing, "The grange and clan over there in Haizhou will be handed over to you in the future...... In the future, he will be inherited by Yiyong, although he is not my sister-in-law, but he can be the master of the Haizhou martial arts. You must teach him to be the warrior of our martial arts! I don't want Yong'er to become like that old Cuo! ”
