Chapter 23 Guozijian and the engagement

"Little Lord! You are much more energetic today than yesterday!" Following Xu Guang's teachings, after doing a few simple exercises, the master's brother showed joy and praised him repeatedly.

"I also feel that I feel much lighter when I wake up. Maybe it's because I've recovered from the past two days!" Li You was secretly happy. This was the result of his control not exerting all his strength today. Don't rush to expose all his strength, and slowly exercise and gradually show all his strength. Only in this way will it naturally not arouse others' suspicion.

Xu Guang didn't think much about it. A few years ago, the young master didn't like martial arts. He was not very accurate about Li You's strength. Now he regards Li You's performance as the old master's bloodline, and is gradually awakening. "When he was in the army, he was also a powerful general. As long as you practice hard, you may not be able to succeed in the future!"

"Okay, from today on, you will accompany me to practice martial arts early every morning!" In this way, you will be more sure when entering the mission world in the future. "You must practice fists, feet, equipment, and equestrian skills! Let them choose a few good horses to send to the martial arts field tomorrow! By the way, let Uncle Zhong find some people to level the land outside, so that he can run away!"

It would be fine if you just practice fist and foot equipment, but if you want to learn riding and shooting again, this martial arts field would be a bit too small to use! Although the Earl's Mansion has a special horse farm outside the city to practice, Li You was too lazy to run back and forth, so he simply asked someone to renovate it! Who made us have money now?

"Well, it won't take long to expand the martial arts performance! But you may not be able to use it very much? You will go to the capital next month! I'm afraid it hasn't been repaired yet!" Xu Guang said, touching his beard.

Well, go to the capital? Why am I going to the capital? Oh no, I forgot about this! Li You slapped his head and found a strange rule from the Great Wei Dynasty from the depths of his memories. It turned out that the Taizu of the Great Wei Dynasty was afraid that the noble family would fall or have thoughts that he should not have in the future, so he stipulated that all the heirs of the noble family must go to the Imperial College of the Capital before the age of twenty, and only after passing the exam can he officially inherit the title.

Li You should have gone to the capital, but because the old lord and the old woman of the Earl's Mansion died at the same time, he needed to stay at home to mourn, so he delayed his entry to the capital.

Now that the 27-month mourning period has passed, it is time for him to study in the capital to prepare for the exam. Only in this way can he successfully get the title of Earl and continue to return to Jiazhou to live a decadent life.

Damn! Before traveling through time, you have to take the college entrance examination before you can enter university, and you have to pass the civil service examination before you can enter government agencies! Originally, a child from a family who traveled through time could live a good life, but he didn't expect to take the exam! Li You had a headache.

"Mr. Xu, isn't this exam in the Imperial College?" Li You asked with a headache.

"The Taizu was still alive in those years of the founding of the country! So much so that everyone is rumored that those who can pass the title inheritance exam can get the Jinshi exam! The prince of the Qin State was only able to pass the title from the age of 18 to 36 before he could barely pass the title! What's even more unlucky is that he was unable to inherit the title for his life!" Xu Guang was not worried at all, "But now the government is becoming increasingly slack, you just need to go through the formalities! At that time, you can find the old friends of the old master and give the examiner some money, and there will be no problem!"

It’s good to be corrupt! As a civilian, Li You hated all kinds of corruption. Now that he has traveled through time and became a member of the ruling class, he naturally sat down to where he should sit! When he heard that he could handle it by giving money, he suddenly felt relieved, "It’s good that way. I heard that the capital is prosperous for a long time, and this time I happened to see it!"

"Our Earl's Mansion is in the capital, not far from the Imperial College. On weekdays, there are servants to sweep it! There is also a martial arts field for you to practice martial arts. As for riding and shooting, we can use it in the suburbs of the capital!" Xu Guang knew the family business of the Earl's Mansion very well and proposed a solution at once. "On the way to Beijing, a family can also teach the little lord!"

"So good!" Is that yard equivalent to the future Beijing office? I guess the two have different functions, both of which are to establish good relations with senior officials in the capital and keep abreast of the capital's developments so that they can prepare in advance. If this is the case, I will definitely not go empty-handed. All parties have to do it. "What should I prepare when I go to the capital? I ask Uncle Zhong to make a list and then arrange for the servants to purchase and prepare!"

"Please rest assured, Mr. Zhong, has been preparing for it three months ago! Now, except for a few rare things, we are ready!" Xu Guang has a high status in the mansion, and he has also participated in these things. At least the gift lists of the old friends in the army were drafted by him. "It's just that, the gifts from Mr. Zhou and Miss Zhou need to be decided by you personally!"

Mr. Zhou, Miss Zhou, and Li You were in a daze and quickly began to search for memories. However, the answer made him not know what to do. It turned out that Mr. Zhou was the best friend of the old earl. He was born in the Zhou family in Runan. His name was Shou and his courtesy name was Ji Lao. He was a famous scholar in the world. He is currently the Hanlin Bachelor and is in charge of imperial edicts. His daughter was Zhou Nan, who was one year younger than Li You and was just fifteen this year.

Like most people in this era, since they are old friends, they naturally have a better relationship. So when Zhou Nan was just born, the two old men helped them get married! Now the wedding letter and Zhou Nan’s horoscope are placed in Li You’s study.

This... I can't accept it! The image of a yellow-haired girl appeared in Li You's mind. Although she hasn't met for seven or eight years, judging by her childhood appearance, she shouldn't look very good now, right? And it's too uncomfortable to get married so early? I'm determined to be a playboy. It's really uncomfortable to find myself a wife early... I don't know if I can cancel the engagement?

In the capital, in the Hanlin Bachelor's Mansion, a maid hurriedly ran to the backyard and covered her mouth to the lady's side. "Miss, I just heard the lady say that your husband will leave for the capital next month!"

"I know how to gossip all day long, and there is no rule at all!" Zhou Nan put down the half-drawn picture of the ink bamboo and frowned slightly. Alas, I don't know what this little lord has become over the years! If he becomes like the playboys in the capital, ignorant, and knows how to be flirted with all day long, then I would rather become a monk than marry him! My husband must be a well-educated man like his father!
