When Wu Haogu woke up, it was past the hour.

Because there was no boulder pressing on his heart, he slept very deeply last night, and when he got up from the bed, he only felt extremely relaxed all over his body, and he felt inexplicably refreshed. He put on his robe, washed himself, and went to the hall.

"The child has seen Daddy, little mother."

Wu Chengzhi and Feng Erniang were both in the hall, preparing to have breakfast, Wu Haogu's younger brother Wu Haowen came back from the school at some point, and he was also in the hall.

Wu Haogu first respectfully gave Wu Chengzhi and Feng Erniang a salute, although Feng Erniang has separated from Wu Chengzhi, but they still live together and there is no difference from before, so Wu Haogu also continued to be her mother.

"Big brother, are you okay?" Wu Haowen took the initiative to greet his brother.

Their brotherly relationship is not close, but in front of their parents, Wu Haowen will not forget the etiquette they should have.

"It's okay," Wu Haogu responded politely, "How is the second brother's studies?" Next year, will you go to Taixue or go to the Liberation Exam? ”

In the third year of Yuanfu, there will be a big competition in the spring and the palace, which is the most important part of the imperial examination. And next year, that is, in the second year of Yuanfu, there will be a liberation examination, that is, a imperial examination held in the state capital. If you pass the liberation test, you will be able to raise a child (this lifting is a one-time event) and you can participate in the next year's big competition.

If you are in Chunyu Dabi Middle and High School, you will be a good boy outside the Donghua Gate!

"First of all, the liberation test," Wu Haowen looked very confident, "If you can do well in the exam, it will be easy to enter Taixue." ”

Although the imperial court has long begun to advocate the "three rounding scholars", scholars still value the imperial examination. That is, the government school and the state school select students to enter the Taixue, and it often depends on the merits of the test.

After the liberation test is completed, it will be easy to enter Taixue. And too many students can also take the provincial exam, if they are in high school, they will immediately be the parents of the people of the Great Song Dynasty. If you fall down, you can continue to boil your qualifications in Taixue, as long as you are steadily promoted to the upper house, it is not too difficult to get an official.

Therefore, the students in Kaifeng Prefecture all want to get an excellent grade in the Liberation Examination, and then take the route of Taixue and the imperial examination at the same time.

In addition to the imperial examination and Taixue, the scholars of Kaifeng Mansion also have a third road to officialdom, that is, to join the powerful men, and Gao Yu is the way to go.

"Big brother, are you going to the Wang's Mansion today?"

Wu Hao Gucai sat down at the dinner table, ready to have breakfast, and Wu Chengzhi asked.

"I'll go after breakfast," Wu Hao Gu said, "The "Keju Map" was good yesterday, and I will send it to Brother Gao today. ”

Wu Chengzhi nodded and glanced at Wu Haowen, "Let the second brother go with you...... and that he may see the world. ”

Wu Haogu understood what his father meant, he wanted Wu Haowen to be familiar with him in front of Wang Da Ma.

In this way, if you fail the exam, you won't be able to enter Taixue, and you can still find a way to fill the gap left by Gao Yu, first mix up a small official in the Horse Mansion, and then find a way out.

"Okay," Wu Haogu glanced at his younger brother, and when he saw some disdain, he smiled and said, "Wang Yuma's West Garden (another name for Baoning Cidi) is often visited by famous people, and the second brother should also make friends with them." ”

Making friends with celebrities and celebrities was not very useful for the imperial examination, and the imperial examination was recorded in a sealed manner. The examiner who examines the paper can only see the transcripted draft paper, which has no name on it. The real scrolls written by Juzi himself were transcribed (that is, copied) and sent to the official for archiving.

However, for students, reputation is more important. If you can have a good reputation, and then make friends with some celebrities and officials, you can rise to the top safely with their support.

understood Daddy's thoughts, Wu Haogu, a dutiful son, naturally wanted to pull his brother.

Today's Great Song Dynasty, after all, is the same world as the scholars!

If Wu Haowen can enter the officialdom smoothly, it will be easier for the martial arts family to do big business in the future.

After breakfast, Wu Haogu took the framed "Keju Map", and together with his younger brother Wu Haowen, Shi Shiran went out and went in the direction of Jinshui River. After a few spring rains, the weather is still very cool, and today is sunny again. Meng Chun's sunshine shone on his body, which was very comfortable.

The morning market of Pansa Market has long ended, and now this street near the palace has become a food street again. The streets are full of people, and they are lined with vendors selling all kinds of snacks and snacks, and the sound of selling can even be heard in the palace.

This kind of people-friendly court, in the history of dignified China, is probably only the Song Dynasty.

After Pan Tower, it is close to the Royal Street. At this time, the time for the last dynasty has long passed, but the time for retreat has not yet come. Therefore, there was also a tide of people and vehicles on the royal street, and when he was about to cross the royal street, Wu Haogu saw Cai You in a green robe hanging at the door of a bookstore.

"Prison Cai!"

Wu Haogu shouted, and then pulled Wu Haowen over.

"Hey, you're Wu Chongdao."

Cai You couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Wu Haogu.

In his expression, he showed some affection, as if he had known Wu Hao for a long time.

"Second brother, come and meet Cai Daguan." Wu Haogu introduced his younger brother to Cai You, "Guard, this is my younger brother Wu Haowen, a student of Kaifeng Mansion." ”

"It's called very guard," Cai You laughed, and said to Wu Haogu, "My expression is Ju'an." ”

"Brother Ju'an." Wu Haogu was not polite, and directly called Cai You's name.

"Okay." Cai You saw Wu Haogu holding a picture scroll at this time, and asked with a smile: "What is this?" ”

"A picture of Keju." Wu Haogu said and unfolded the picture scroll to show Cai You.

"Hey, what a strong man!" When Cai You saw the lifelike Gao Yu on the picture, he couldn't help but admire, "Who is he?" ”

Hearing this question, Wu Haogu laughed.

Cai You asked this question when he saw the picture scroll, and Zhao Ji was probably the same.

"He is the scribe of Wang Xu's mansion," said Wu Haogu, "and he is very good at jujuing." Brother Ju'an should have seen him in Panjiayuan. ”

"Really?" Cai You smiled, "Then I'll go to see you later." ”

"Wait?" Wu Haogu glanced at Cai You, who was dressed in a full robe, "Isn't Brother Ju'an going to the tailoring institute?" ”

Cai You smiled, "I have already taken a leave of absence, and I am going to the West Garden Yaji today." ”

The West Garden is another name for the Bao Ning Cidi of the Horse King Xu, and the Yaji refers to the gathering of literati and scholars.

The so-called "Xiyuan Yaji" refers to a group of literati and scholars in Kaifeng Mansion who regularly gather at the house of Wang Xu, Wu Hao has known about this for a long time, but he has never participated.

Cai You smiled and said, "Brother Chongdao, why don't we take a certain carriage together." ”

"Thank you very much." Wu Haogu arched his hand, but saw that Cai You was still standing still, as if he was waiting for someone.

"Brother Ju An is waiting for someone?"

Cai You laughed, "Sort of." ”

At last? Wu Haogu didn't understand Cai You's words, but he didn't ask much, so he waited with his younger brother Wu Haowen.

After a while, many military patrols suddenly appeared on the royal street, all of them holding sticks, shouting: "Hundreds of officials retreat from the court, idlers avoid!" ”

It turned out that the time for the Scattered Dynasty had arrived.

Cai You bowed his hand to Wu Haogu, "Brother Chongdao waits." ”

After speaking, he straightened his robe and strode towards the palace gate.

"Big brother, what is this Prison Guard Cai doing?" Wu Haowen, who was standing on the side of the road, was a little strange, so he asked Wu Haogu.

"Be an official!" Wu Haogu suddenly laughed, "Second brother, you also learn something...... This Cai Anju is very good at being an official. ”

"Will you be an official?"

"Well," Wu Haogu said, "it is also an opportunity to appear in front of the ministers who have retreated, and if it is an opportunity, you can't miss it, and you really are a good man...... By the way, his father is still Cai Chengzhi of the Privy Council. ”

Wu Haowen was stunned, "Cai Jing's son? ”

"That's right," Wu Haogu smiled, "but you have to make good friends, you can't be wrong." ”
