When Wu Haogu woke up, Chen Hou was already past.

Because there was no huge rock pressing on his heart, he slept very heavily last night. When he got up from the bed, he felt extremely relaxed and felt even more refreshed. He put on his robe and washed up, and then went to the hall.

"The child has met Daddy, little mother."

Wu Chengzhi and Feng Erniang were both in the hall, preparing for breakfast. Wu Haogu's younger brother Wu Haowen came back from the palace and was also in the hall.

Wu Haogu first respectfully greeted Wu Chengzhi and Feng Erniang. Although Feng Erniang had already separated from Wu Chengzhi, he still lived together and was not different from the past. Therefore, Wu Haogu continued to treat her as her mother.

"Brother, are you still safe?" Wu Haowen took the initiative to greet his brother.

Their brothers are not close, but in front of their parents, they will never forget the etiquette that martial arts and good writings.

"Fortunately," Wu Haogu responded politely, "What is the second brother's academic performance? Will he enter the Imperial College next year or go to the Examination for the Examination?"

In the third year of Yuanfu, there will be a spring exam competition, which is the most important name for the Ministry of Rites (provincial exam) and the palace exam in the imperial examination. Next year, in the second year of Yuanfu, there will be a trial examination, which is the imperial examination held in the prefecture. Passing the trial examination will be a trial (this trial is a one-time trial), and you can participate in the contest for the next year.

If you are in the Spring Festival Competition, you will be a good man who will be a song-lister outside Donghua Gate!

"First, I will give the test," Wu Haowen seemed very confident. "If I can get well in the exam, it will be easier to enter the Taixue."

Although the court had long begun to praise the "selecting scholars", scholars still valued the imperial examinations. Even if it was the provincial school and the provincial school elected students to enter the Imperial Academy, it often depends on the pros and cons of the examination.

If you get the Examination Examination, it will be easy to enter the Tai School. Tai students can also take the provincial examination. If you go to high school, you will immediately become the parents of the people of the Song Dynasty. If you fail, you can continue to earn a qualification in the Tai School. As long as you are promoted to the upper class steadily, it will not be difficult to get an official position.

Therefore, the students in Kaifeng Prefecture all wanted to get excellent grades in the mid-term exam, and then take the routes of Imperial College and the imperial examination at the same time.

In addition to the imperial examinations and the Imperial Academy, scholars in Kaifeng Prefecture also have a third path to the officialdom, which is to devote themselves to the powerful and noble families, and Gao Qiu took this path.

"Brother, are you going to the Prince Consort's Mansion today?"

Wu Haogucai sat down at the dining table and was about to have breakfast, so Wu Chengzhi asked.

"Go after breakfast," Wu Haogu's ancient saying, "The Cuju Tu was ready yesterday, and I'll send it to Brother Gao today."

Wu Chengzhi nodded and glanced at Wu Haowen, "Let me go with you... Let him see the world."

Wu Haogu understood what his father meant. He wanted Wu Haowen to be familiar with him in front of the Prince Consort Wang.

In this way, if you fail the exam, you will not be able to enter the Taixue School. You can still find a way to fill in the gaps left by Gao Qiu, first become a minor official in the Prince Consort's Mansion, and then find a way out.

"Okay," Wu Haogu glanced at his younger brother, and saw some disdain, and smiled, "The West Garden of the Prince of the King (another name given to Baoning) is often exchanged with famous people, and the second brother should make friends with them."

Making friends with famous scholars is not of great use for the imperial examination. The imperial examination is copied in a sealed and copied manner. The examiner who reviewed the papers can only see the copied drafts and has no name on them. After the genuine papers written by the student are copied (that is, copied), they are sent to Feng Miguan for archives.

However, for students of the Tai family, reputation is more important. If you can have a good reputation and make friends with some famous officials, you can be safely promoted to the upper house with their support.

After understanding my father’s idea, Wu Haogu, a filial son, naturally wanted to win the brothers.

Today's Song Dynasty is the world with the scholars and officials!

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

After breakfast, Wu Haogu brought the already-framed "Cuju Tu" and went out with his younger brother Wu Haowen and walked towards the Jinshui River. After a few spring rains, the weather was still very cool, and today it was sunny again. The sunshine of the spring shone on his body, which was very comfortable.

The morning market of Panlou Market has long ended, and now this street close to the palace has become a food street. The street is filled with tourists, and there are vendors selling various snacks on both sides. The sound of hawking can even be spread into the palace.

Such a people-friendly palace was probably only found in the Song Dynasty in the history of China.

After passing Panlou, he approached Yu Street. It was already past the time to go to court, but the time to leave the court was not yet here. Therefore, there were also people and traffic flowing on Yu Street. When Wu Haogu was about to cross Yu Street, he saw Cai You wearing a green robe wandering at the door of a bookstore.

"Super Cai!"

Wu Haogu shouted and pulled Wu Haowen over.

"Hey, you are Wu Chongdao."

Cai You was stunned when he saw Wu Haogu.

There was a look of intimacy in his expression, as if he had been familiar with Wu Haogu for a long time.

"Second brother, come and meet the official Cai." Wu Haogu introduced his younger brother to Cai You, "The guard is my younger brother Wu Haowen, a student of Kaifeng Prefecture."

"It's called "very custodian," Cai You laughed and said to Wu Hao's ancient road, "I am a word called Ju'an."

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

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

"A picture of Cuju." Wu Haogu said as he unfolded the scroll for Cai You to show.

"Wow, what a hero!" Cai You couldn't help but exclaim, "Who is he?"

Hearing this question, Wu Haogu laughed.

Cai You asked this question when he saw the scroll, and most of the same was true for Zhao Ji.

"He is Gao Qiu, the clerk of Wang Shi's mansion," said Wu Haogu, "He is very good at Cuju. Brother Ju'an should have seen him in Panjiayuan."

"Is that true?" Cai You smiled, "Then I'll see you later."

"Let's go?" Wu Haogu looked at Cai You, who was dressed in a robe and jacket, "Don't Brother Ju'an go to the hospital for laying off the hospital?"

Cai You smiled, "I have already claimed leave and I am going to Xiyuan Yaji today."

Xiyuan is the nickname given to Baoning by the son-in-law Wang Shi, and the elegant gathering refers to the gathering of literati and scholars.

The so-called "Xiyuan Elegant Collection" refers to a group of literati and scholars from Kaifeng Prefecture who regularly gathered at the homes of the son-in-law Wang Shi. Wu Haogu had known about this for a long time, but he had never participated.

Cai You smiled and said, "Brother Chongdao, why not go over with a certain carriage together."

"That's thank you." Wu Haogu Gong bowed, but saw that Cai You was still standing still, as if waiting for someone.

"Brother Juan is waiting for someone?"

Cai You laughed, "That's right."

It's true? 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 Imperial Street, each holding sticks and shouting: "All officials retreat to the court, and idlers avoid it!"

It turns out that the time for the scattered dynasty has come.

Cai You bowed to Wu Haogugong, "Brother Chongdao wait."

After saying that, he sorted out his clothes and strided towards the palace gate.

"Brother, what is this Guan Guan Zhuang doing?" Wu Haowen, who was standing on the roadside, was a little strange, so he asked Wu Haogu.

"Be an official!" Wu Haogu suddenly laughed, "Second brother, you are learning a little too... Cai Anju is very good at being an official."

"Can you become an official?"

"Well," said Wu Haogu, "It is also an opportunity to show off in front of the minister who retired from the court. If it is an opportunity, you cannot miss it. It is indeed a good man... By the way, his father is still Cai Chengzhi from the Privy Council."

Wu Haowen was stunned, "Son of Cai Jing?"
