Little Scholar's Circle of Husbands

The general examination in the Liang Dynasty was released on the first day of March, and the winners were called Gongshi, who had to participate in the palace examination, which was held on March [-]th.

On the day when the list was released, Lu Fangzhou went to the Zhedong Road Guild Hall. He didn't want to go, but Xu Wen invited him when he left the Gongyuan. Lu Fangzhou thought that it was the last day in Chang'an anyway, so he just went.

The guild hall was full of candidates. Most of the 20 people from Zhedong Road who came this time were not very well-off, and basically lived in the guild hall. After the examination results were released, the news of the candidates' success would be sent to the candidates' residences one by one.

So everyone sat in the main hall together and waited, waiting to start chatting when they were bored.

Another half month has passed, and the war in the northern border has become more tense, and all kinds of rumors have naturally become the top topic of discussion among the candidates. In addition, this is what the candidates will ask questions about, and the candidates are even more unscrupulous when discussing, almost any topic Talk about it all.

Lu Fangzhou listened quietly. He didn't know much about war, but he still understood the basic principles of fighting in the front, guaranteeing the rear, and dispatching and coordinating. Although the candidates from Zhedong Road hadn't entered the court yet, Official, but the various considerations in this regard are still very good.

That's it... Lu Fangzhou rubbed the center of his brows slightly, and it's fine to talk about scheduling. What about the candidates for the troops?I don’t know that this is the most troublesome thing about this kind of thing. If you don’t choose well, you will be defeated, and if you choose too well, you will be the winner.

The emperor is hesitant to decide, why are you bothering, the emperor is really not in a hurry... the eunuch is in a hurry.

Lu Fangzhou smiled secretly, unexpectedly Xu Wen saw his expression, put aside what he was participating in the discussion, and asked with a smile: "Brother Lu, what's your opinion?"

Lu Fangzhou quickly shook his head: "What advice can I have? My ancestors were in the tea business. If you ask me how tea is sold to the north and what route to take, I can chat for a few words. War? My ancestors feared the most. This, after a war, there will be no market.”

Lu Fangzhou's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the examinee who was making a generous statement next to him, and said with contempt: "A businessman is after profit, and you are talking about people like you. I don't know how you got your fame?"

Lu Fangzhou raised his eyebrows when he heard this, thinking to himself that if he even came to participate in the test, he is naturally qualified. Are you so blatantly skeptical?Do you suspect that the people in the Ministry of Rites are not good at doing things?Brother, be careful, misfortune comes out of your mouth, being an official and studying are two different things?Reading says that one is one, and that two is two. If you want to be an official, you still do it like this, and you will be demoted if you divide it.

Seeing that Lu Fangzhou didn't answer, the man thought it was because the other party couldn't argue, and he despised him even more: "It's just that there are too many people like you who only pursue utilitarianism, which makes it impossible to go up. The tea market you are thinking about is not the same as in the northern border. The achievements of the soldiers in opening up the territory? If there is still one general from that year, why should we be afraid of those barbarians today?"

When these words came out, not only Lu Fangzhou listened to the sky, but the rest of the examinees also frowned. Everyone could tell that this person was talking about the Lou family army who shocked the northern border back then, but Lou's rebellion was a crime condemned by the Holy Lord. You said so Do you want to overturn the case, or accuse the Holy Majesty.

The sudden quiet atmosphere made that person realize that his words were too much. He didn't dare to admit that he had said something wrong, so he could only look at Lu Fangzhou with a cold snort: "You villain, are you trying to play tricks on purpose? You just wait." , What I said may not be false, I don’t believe it, there is no other family who is willing to stand up and serve the country.”

"..." Now Lu Fangzhou is really speechless, there are people from the Lou family, they are from my family, I know best whether he will go to war or not.

Just as he was thinking, there was the sound of a gong beating outside, and the official came in with a smile: "Wu Yong, the son of Yuhang County, Eastern Zhejiang Province, is the 81st student in this department."

Wu Yongzheng was the examinee who blatantly scolded Lu Fangzhou just now. When he heard that he was in high school, he immediately forgot the stupid thing he committed just now, accepted the post happily, and smiled triumphantly: "Naturally born I will be useful."

The rest of the examinees laughed secretly, just based on what he said just now, Wu Yong has no future at all even after high school, if someone spreads these words, let alone his future, his life will be in danger.On the contrary, if he misses, he can save his life.

Lu Fangzhou and Xu Wen also understood this truth, and they looked at each other tacitly, waiting for the follow-up official to come.

Officials came here one after another soon. There were not many people who won the East Zhejiang Road this time. There were only three people who got the tickets in the guild hall. Except for Wu Yong, there was another candidate named Chen Chi, and the rest was Xu Wen. For Zhedong Dao's Jieyuan this time, he got a good result of No.3 in this subject.

Lu Fangzhou was happy when he heard that, he hurriedly congratulated Xu Wen, and at the same time was happy for himself, hehe, you can go home now.

Unexpectedly, Xu Wen held him back, and said with a smile: "We are happy together."

Lu Fangzhou was at a loss when he heard that, Xu Wenxiao explained: "Brother Lu, the people who just went to the guild hall to read the list at the gate of the Gongyuan said that you also won."

"Me?" Lu Fangzhou couldn't believe it, how could it be possible?

Xu Wen nodded hurriedly: "It's true, but the ranking is a bit lower."

"What time... ah?"

"Sun Shan."

"Huh? What does that mean?Lu Fangzhou frowned.

Xu Wen smiled and shook his head: "Brother Lu, are you overjoyed? Have you forgotten the allusion of Sun Shan's fame?"

I go!Losing the name to Sun Shan means that no one ranked after Sun Shan won, which means that he won the last place. Do you want to play him like this?Can't you lose some more points and lose the ranking directly?Lu Fangzhou wanted to cry but had no tears.

But Xu Wen also urged: "Brother Lu, hurry up, go back quickly, the address you reported is neither a guild hall nor an inn, and the official errands who sent the wedding will not come to the guild hall, but go directly to your residence. If you don't arrive, they will You must wait, don’t keep them waiting.”

Lu Fangzhou listened to the misty walk back, and his mind was full of what to do?I can't go home early again, I hate it/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

As soon as he got to the temporary residence, he saw Lu Shui probing at the door, and when he saw Lu Fangzhou, he hurriedly said, "Master Juren is back, the official has been waiting inside for a long time, go in quickly."

Lu Fangzhou was a little reluctant, until he saw the impatient smile on the official's face, he woke up a little bit, this is Chang'an City, at the foot of the emperor, you can't offend people easily, and he was the first one to come out to send the congratulations The official difference is not to be underestimated.

He hurriedly ordered Lu Shui: "Hurry up, go and get the reward silver, it's in the box in my room." Then he said to the officer very apologetically, "Thank you for waiting for a long time. After it was all released, someone told me that I was also hit, so hurry back."

The official sent a perfunctory smile until the water came out, and Lu Fangzhou handed over two heavy red envelopes, and the official's smile became real: "Master Juren is humble, oh no, it's time to change his name, Master Jinshi, I'm waiting for the good news from my master's high school, next time I'm lucky, I'll make another trip for my master."

According to the regulations of the Daliang Dynasty, tribute scholars would no longer have the possibility of failing the palace examination. After the palace examination, the order would be rearranged.At this moment, the official sent to call Lu Fangzhou the master Jinshi, so he could, even if Lu Fangzhou was the last one.

Hearing this, Lu Fangzhou was embarrassed for a while, how could Shui Cheng become a Jinshi like him?He was so busy that he said some polite words, and sent the official out of the door politely.

Then he closed the door, scratched his hair, looked at the dew coming out of the back room, and said with a bitter face: "I just got hit like this?"

Lu Shui hurriedly laughed and said, "Master, it's really a happy thing. Why are you so sad?" After he said it, he felt a little uneasy. .

The hypothesis of Lu Fangzhou's admission to the imperial examination was put at the end. As for how to deal with this matter, Yan Yan also made related calculations, and the countermeasures were not ordinary strategies.He was ordered by Yan Yan to personally protect Lu Fangzhou, from this moment on, he should redouble his efforts to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

Quickly said: "Master, don't have to face it anymore, I'd better write a quick letter and go back to say good news. There is a boat from the young master's side and he will go back the next day, so let them take it."

write a letter?Annunciation?Lu Fangzhou asked himself that he didn't want to write this letter at all. He just wanted to go back. After entering the palace examination, he had to be an official after being born as a Jinshi. If you come to Chang'an City, you don't even want to be released. You won't be sent back to the place where you belonged to become an official at all. Besides, you are only paid if you have good grades. There is no future.

What should I do/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

Lu Fangzhou thought silently, walked back to the house silently, sat under the lamp to pick up and stop writing a few times, and didn't write a word for a long time.

Lu Shui glanced quietly. He didn't want to mention the matter of writing letters at first, but the countermeasure he had decided at the beginning was that in case he succeeded, during the period from the first year of junior high school to the fifteenth day of the imperial examination, Lu Fang must not be allowed to The boat comes into contact with too many people.

Fortunately, before Lu Fangzhou came, he didn't have much contact with those candidates in Zhedong Road. After he was awarded, because of the ranking problem, not many people came to get to know him, not to mention that during this period of time, the candidates were keen to have a seat together. It's nothing to do with Lu Fangzhou to discuss, or to visit great scholars.

Xu Wen came to the door a few times, and Lu Fangzhou was familiar with him, so he bluntly stated that he didn't want to go. Xu Wen shook his head after watching it: "If you don't try to move around now, you really expect to go back to the palace exam , rely on the sage to point you to the champion?"

"Don't mention the No. [-] Scholar. I don't want it if you order me. It's not worthy of the name. It's embarrassing." Lu Fangzhou hugged his head.

Seeing Xu Wen's expression of resentment: "I have thought so clearly, so let's go and give it a try. I really don't want your career?"

Lu Fangzhou glanced at Xu Wen, but did not answer.

Xu Wen sighed completely: "Others who got their heads smashed because of the door, let's just say that Wu Yong that day, he was so dizzy that he went to the people on the side of His Highness the Fourth Highness. If you don’t take advantage of it, you’ll just stay at home.”

"Wu Yong's behavior of intervening in party disputes is to seek death, what should I do better than him?" Lu Fangzhou muttered.

Hearing Xu Wen stomp his feet: "Forget it, I'll ignore you."

On March [-]th, Lu Shui sent Lu Fangzhou to Daming Palace.The Daliang Dynasty stipulated that the day of the palace examination should be closed for one day. Candidates would start at four shifts, pass through Zhuque Street on horseback with lanterns, and arrive in front of the Daming Palace at five shifts.Some palace officials led them into the Xuanzheng Hall, went through the etiquette of roll call, unrolling, praise, salute, etc., and then issued policy questions.

Lu Fangzhou arrived just in time for the fifth watch, and there were already many candidates ahead of him. Because there would be a roll call procedure after entering the Xuanzheng Palace, the order of the queue when entering the palace was chaotic, with the order of first come first served.

Lu Fangzhou came late and stood at the end, Xu Wen didn't come early, and there was an examinee separated from Lu Fangzhou. At this time, the candidates were allowed to whisper among them, Xu Wen turned his head and greeted Lu Fangzhou.

Lu Fangzhou hurried back.

Another examinee came, maybe it was almost time, that person walked away in a hurry, and kept yelling at the boy who led the horse. Lu Fangzhou felt a little familiar from his voice, turned his head and saw that his head was big Yes, it's Wu Yong.

Wu Yong got off his horse and hurried into the queue, and also saw Lu Fangzhou. He was upset because of the delay on the road, but when he saw that the person in front of him was Lu Fangzhou, who had pissed him off on the day the ranking was announced, he suddenly became cold. With a snort, he said contemptuously, "Yo~~ You can hit it too?"

Lu Fangzhou ignored him, anyway, now in front of the palace gate, if this guy said what he said back then, it would be a death, and he didn't want to get involved.

Unexpectedly, Wu Yong seemed to understand Lu Fangzhou's thoughts, and laughed: "I'm not like someone who protects himself wisely and only seeks his own interests. The war in the northern border is so tight that he only thinks that his tea cannot be sold."

Lu Fangzhou still ignored it. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that what he said about selling tea that day was just an excuse. How can it be easy to discuss matters related to the safety of Liang in the northern border, let alone what Wu Yong said that day? can be considered disobedience.

Seeing this, Wu Yong sneered even more: "I know what you are thinking in your heart? But, let me tell you, you are wrong! Your Majesty is wise, it is not something you can save with a villainous heart like you, but yesterday the Majesty has descended The purpose is to marry Princess Changping, and the new son-in-law is a member of the Lou clan, who is very brave and good at fighting, and the son-in-law will lead troops to the northern border immediately, and work with the princess to pacify the northern border."

Consort?Lou?Lu Fangzhou only felt that his mind was blown, Lou?who is that?

"Oh, by the way, let me tell you something you definitely don't know, the son-in-law's name is Lou Yan."

Yan Yan? !

The author has something to say: Lu Fangzhou: Yan Yan, what is going on /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

Yan Yan: My mother did it, come on, let me help you abuse him!

Stupid author (horrified~~): Don't do it, you little abuser! (Being beaten up~~~)

Stupid author/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~: Well, I will write big fat chapters tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so hurry up and abuse those who want to be abused! ! !
