In a blink of an eye, it was the fourth day of the first lunar month. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The next day, Wu Fanhui was going to set off from Mizhi County to the capital.

Liu Shijie, the leader of the Liu family, set off for the capital a few years ago, and Wang Bingkun, a member of the Wang family, also set off from Mizhi County to the capital after determining the list of supervisors submitted by the county government, and neither of them celebrated the New Year in Mizhi County.

In fact, this situation is very common, especially in the south, almost all of them set off a year ago, the examination began on the fifth day of the first month of March, because it is held in the spring, it is also called the spring festival, the pattern of the examination and the township examination is exactly the same, the examination is held in the Gongyuan of the capital, there are more than 2,000 people who participate in the examination, and only 350 people can go to high school in the examination, and these 350 people are called tributes.

After obtaining the qualifications of the tribute, you can participate in the palace examination, all three hundred and fifty tribute students will be on the list, this is the so-called gold list title, three hundred and fifty people are the first, second and third, one and three people, respectively, the first champion, the second list, the third Tanhua, the first and the first, the second sixty-seven, the first name of the second is called the legend, the third is two hundred and eighty people, and the same Jinshi is born.

The top three jinshi are the two top jinshi.

The time of the test is too early, and the people who are far away must set off this morning to ensure that they do not delay the time of the test, so there are a lot of people who rushed to the capital before the year, and the capital is also very lively during this time, and there are quite a lot of gatherings between the people.

Wu Fanhui's departure time was very late, and at this time, almost all the candidates set off for the capital, except for the candidates who were very close to Beizhili.

Wu Fanhui can't continue to delay time, according to his speed, he can guarantee that he will arrive in Beijing within the first month, and he can bring Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi, and there are too many rogues in Shanxi, and it is not particularly safe along the way, if you encounter some special circumstances, it will definitely delay time.

In Ma'anshan Village, fifty carefully selected people, under the leadership of Li Yong, stood neatly.

These fifty people are about to follow Wu Fanhui to Beijing, and their duty is to be responsible for Wu Fanhui's safety.

When Wu Fanhui appeared in front of everyone on horseback, Li Yong stepped forward quickly.

"Young master, all the brothers are ready."

Before Wu Fanhui dismounted, Li Yong led everyone to kneel on one knee.

"The subordinates swear to protect the young master, arrive in Beijing, and wish the young master the title of the gold list...

Among these fifty people, except for Ma Sanli, the rest were all under Li Yong's original command, including Ma Jigang, Sun Kailin, Liu Fangheng and others, these people are also the most elite sergeants in the nursing team.

Wu Fanhui did not dismount.

"Brothers, thank you for your hard work, among you who have already started a family, are about to be separated from your family, and if you don't have a family, you will have to follow me around for a while, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to consider the matter of starting a family in a short period of time, on the way to Jingshi, everything is entrusted to your brothers."

"Okay, let's all disperse, it's time to say goodbye to your family, it's time to prepare."

After entering the house, Wu Fanhui's expression became serious.

"Li Yong, Ma Jigang, Sun Kailin, Liu Fangheng, I once said that this time in Beijing, if you find someone who is a threat to you, you must not be soft, you must remember, you don't need to report to me in an emergency, but you can make a decision immediately, be sure to let the brothers understand this, Dai Nengxiang, all the things in the village will be handed over to you."

"Wu Mingkun, Wu Mingbo, Wu Mingfu, Chen Huaqu and Wu Mingfeng, five people, specifically said, thinking of coming to the village to ride a horse in their spare time, Dai Nengxiang helped arrange this matter, although they are not very old, they should also learn how to ride a horse, I hope that when I come back, they will be able to ride horses proficiently."

"I have carefully considered the matter of recruiting nursing homes, as long as the opportunity is right, I can recruit a batch, but the nursing homes recruited this time are those who stay in Mizhi County and protect the Wu family, as for the current nursing homes, it will not take long, I am afraid that they will have to leave Mizhi County, and with me, I may not have much time to worry about recruiting nursing homes, so this recruitment of nursing homes, Dai Nengxiang and the patriarch discussed more, and Dai Nengxiang was directly responsible."

"After I leave Mizhi County, the Wu family must remain stable, and if anything major happens during this time, I must report it in time."

After Wu Fanhui returned home, Wu Qingchao and Wang Hecui were waiting in the hall.

Wang Hecui wiped his eyes and tried not to let tears flow out, after all, Wu Fanhui went to Beijing to participate in the examination, and if he shed tears before leaving, it would be unlucky.

"Dad, mother, the child will leave tomorrow, this time away from home, the time may be a little long, if you pass the exam, you have to participate in the palace exam in April, I am afraid that it will be after June, Dad and mother must take care."

"Qianjue, it doesn't matter to us, you take care of yourself."

"Hui'er, when you go out, pay more attention to your body, if you have any good news, tell your family earlier."

Wu Fanhui entered the bedroom on the right, Wu Mingli and Wu Mingfang were a little silent, they were used to being with Wu Fanhui, and they got the love of a father and a brother, and now this kind of care is going to disappear again.

"Eldest sister, you are not young anymore, things at home, sometimes think a lot, and do your best to help your parents, the younger sister is still young, you have to take care of it a lot."

"Little sister, my brother can't always be by your side, you still have to work hard in your studies, and be more considerate of your parents and sister."

After the order, Wu Fanhui asked Wu Mingli to come to his room and handed the small wooden box that had been prepared to Wu Mingli.

"Eldest sister, the jewelry in this is more valuable, you put it away carefully, there is still a part of the mother, and I don't know if I can come back when you get married, I divide these jewelry into two parts, one part is the dowry I prepared for you, and the other part is the little sister's, all put it here for you, collect it well, when you get married in the future, give the little sister's to the mother for safekeeping, I don't want the mother to worry too much, understand."

Wu Mingli nodded vigorously, but in the end she couldn't hold back her tears.

When facing Li Jiacui and Li Jingfei, Wu Fanhui's words were much simpler.

"Jiacui, when I settle down, I will pick you up, Jing Fei, you have to study hard, Mr. Guo said that your talent is still good, but you are a little lazy, this reading is lazy, if you want to come to my side, then you must pass the county test and the government test, otherwise stay at home and continue to study."

As soon as Wu Fanhui finished speaking, Li Jiacui pulled Li Jingfei to kneel.

"The young master takes care of himself all the way, the slave waits for the news of the young master, the younger brother will study hard, the slave will supervise, the slave and the maid congratulate the young master on the title of the gold list. . . ."

When Wu Fanhui rushed to the wing of the ancestral hall, Wu Mianqing was waiting.

"Qian Jue, I don't have much to say, as Shaanxi Township Test Xie Yuan, it should be no problem to pass the exam, when the title of the gold list is titled, you must either inform it as soon as possible, I don't want to know the news through the imperial court's mansion newspaper, you don't have to worry about family affairs, I will arrange everything."

"Trouble the patriarch."

"Needless to say, this is what the family should do, and there is one more thing, I want to remind you, you know the dispute between the north and the south, this is the rule set by the imperial court, for so many years, the southern scholars are not convinced, so before each examination, the southern readers will organize some so-called poetry competitions and competitions before, not real competition poetry, but in such a poetry competition or competition meeting, debate, needle current affairs, such a debate, you township test to solve the yuan, I'm afraid it can't be avoided, Sometimes you should pay attention to what you say, don't be too eager, don't fight for the moment... ”

Wu Fanhui heard of such a thing for the first time, and if it weren't for Wu Mianqing's reminder, he would have been really caught off guard.

"When I went to the capital to take the examination, I also experienced it, but I was not the focus of attention from those people in the south, in terms of knowledge and opinions, the north is indeed inferior to the south, which I also admit, so every debate, the south took the initiative, and few people in the north echoed it."

"Your wisdom and opinions, those scholars in the south can't compare at all, no matter what, you are young, your heart is full of grandeur, you may not be able to hold back your emotions, sometimes show ability, it is good to fight for the northern readers, but remember not to be too much, after all, the court is mostly southerners. . . ."

Wu Mianqing finally got to the point.

Wu Fanhui can take the initiative in this kind of debate, and he will definitely be able to absorb some northern scholars to his side, and even form a small group, but most of the high-ranking officials in the court are southerners, and they naturally reject the northerners, and the party struggle in the court is so fierce, if you can't be careful, you will definitely encounter calculations.

After the meeting examination and the palace examination, the title of the gold list means that Wu Fanhui has really entered the imperial court, whether he is an official in the capital or sent to a local place, his identity is completely different.

Wu Fanhui thought more, he was too young, when he participated in the examination and the palace examination, he was only sixteen years old, which would definitely arouse everyone's curiosity, maybe it is nothing to appear in the south, but in the north, it is rare.

On the fifth day of the first month, at the end of the month.

Fifty guards waited quietly at the south gate.

Wu Mianqing, Wu Qingchao and others were sent to the south gate.

"Patriarch, father, go back, don't send it."

Wu Mianqing and Wu Qingchao did not leave, they were still standing outside the south gate.

After Wu Fanhui got on the horse, he hugged his fists and saluted Wu Mianqing and Wu Qingchao, Chen Minghui, Ye Kaiyi and others around him also saluted with fists, and many nursing homes also saluted with fists under the leadership of Li Yong.

When the prancing horse headed towards the official road, Wu Fanhui did not look back, Mizhi County is his hometown, there is no room for him here, his road is ahead, from this moment on, he will jump out of Mizhi County, to a broader game between the world.
