Wu Fanhui will go to Xi'an Fucheng to participate in the township examination, known as the rush to take the exam, in his opinion, the real imperial examination at this moment is the real beginning, the front is just to lay the foundation, just like a few hundred years later, the college entrance examination is the most critical link, if from the perspective of learning, primary school and junior high school are to prepare for the final college entrance examination.
When Wang Hecui took out the shirt, looking at this jade-colored round-necked wide-sleeved shirt, Wu Fanhui was very moved, the Ming scholars, dressing is particular, that is a symbol of status, on important occasions, looking at your wear, people will be able to know what your identity is.
Wu Fanhui didn't care about this matter, after becoming a member of the restaurant, he didn't pay much attention to dressing, mainly clean and tidy, many times he wore short clothes, which was very convenient and not constrained, this was a habit developed before the crossing, and it could not be changed, but this time he went to Xi'an Fucheng to catch the exam, it was an important occasion, and he must not be dressed casually, otherwise he would be looked down upon and even ridiculed.
Wu Fanhui plans to set off on the tenth day of July, arrive in Xi'an at the end of July, and prepare for a full month in August, so that he can also adapt to the atmosphere before the township test.
Wu Fanhui attaches great importance to the township examination, he understands the significance of the township examination, once the laurel list is nominated, it means a complete change in identity, and since then he has entered the ranks of the squire.
Wu Fanhui has his own understanding of what should be paid great attention to and what can be dealt with in this regard, and he has enough time to prepare for the township examination, and arrived in Xi'an Prefecture a month in advance to change to the county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination, he will never do this.
Before leaving, Yan Qi, the teacher of the Wu Academy, He Xianxuan of the He family, and several Xiucai of the Wang family, all found him to discuss the matter of setting off together, Wu Fanhui did not object, these people are also going to participate in the township test, Mizhi County is far away from Xi'an Fucheng, more than a thousand miles, I am afraid that it will take more than half a month on the road, and it is much safer to set off together.
Of course, Wu Fanhui can guarantee his own absolute safety, many rogue gangsters in Shaanxi, most of them have gone to Shanxi, Zhenghuan who is making trouble in Shanxi at the moment, almost all of those who stay in Shaanxi are not in the climate, and can even be called bandits, as for the bandits along the road, they are by no means the opponents of Li Yong and others, if they fight, bandits are equivalent to looking for death.
Wu Mianqing, the patriarch of the Wu family, attached great importance to the township test, he sent a housekeeper to send Wu Fanhui a hundred taels of silver, and personally went to the house twice, specifically inquired about the preparation of the township test, and discussed with Wu Fanhui on the analysis of some aspects of the Four Books and Five Classics, and even Wu Qingchao and Wang Hecui mentioned Wu Fanhui's marriage, Wu Mianqing stopped it, that is, to prevent the marriage from delaying Wu Fanhui's time to review his homework.
Wu Fanhui went to Xi'an Fucheng to catch the exam this time, and took Li Yong, Ma Jigang, Sun Kailin and Wang Baofu and other ten people, and the affairs of Ma'anshan Village were temporarily responsible for Liu Fangheng and Dai Nengxiang.
Wang Baofu has become Wu Fanhui's scholar, of course, he has more responsibilities than the scholar, and he should be Wu Fanhui's personal guard, but Wu Fanhui is not a military minister and cannot be equipped with a personal guard.
Wu Fanhui has a lot of money, just more than three hundred taels of gold, a total of nearly four thousand taels of silver, as for the jewelry he got later, he has always put it in the box, did not move, but he still needs to carry silver when he goes out, so it is much more convenient to use, after all, gold needs to be exchanged, and some small inns cannot take out so much silver at once.
On the tenth day of the seventh month, when Wu Fanhui set off from Mizhi County, Li Yong and others waited at the south gate, Wu Mianqing and Wu Qingchao and others sent Wu Fanhui out of the city, and Yan Qi followed him to the capital, He Yixuan and several Xiucai of the Wang family did not go forward together, they set off ten days ago, probably to Xi'an Fucheng There is something to deal with, or to participate in many parties, Wu Fanhui was not willing to go with He Xianxuan and others, which saved a lot of trouble.
After starting from Mizhi County, the speed of everyone all the way was very fast, and they arrived at Yan'an Mansion on July 15, if it weren't for Yan Qi's unbearable situation, Wu Fanhui's speed would be even faster.
When he came to Yan'an Fucheng, Wu Fanhui went to meet the prefect Ma Maocai as usual, Ma Maocai's mood was good, and he gave Wu Fanhui a lot of encouragement, and told Wu Fanhui that after the township trial list, when he returned to Mizhi County, he must come to Fucheng.
Ma Maocai was in such a good mood, as the prefect of the fourth grade, he said these words, and even concluded that Wu Fanhui could take the township high school test, but it was not simple, Wu Fanhui knew that this was because the situation in the various places under the jurisdiction of Yan'an Mansion gradually stabilized, and Ma Maocai had a lot less time when he couldn't sleep, and his mood must be good.
Rising stars are willing to make friends, and even recruit.
The inn where Wu Fanhui and Guo Yanqi and others stayed is still where they stayed during the last government test, but what makes Wu Fanhui cry and laugh is that the name here has been changed to Sanyuan Building.
Of course, Wu Fanhui, a little Sanyuan, stayed here, and it was a place to stay specifically to participate in the provincial test.
The shopkeeper of the inn is really too smart.
When Wu Fanhui entered the inn, the shopkeeper and the guy still remembered, the guy greeted the guests loudly at the door, and the shopkeeper also came out of it, smiling, and learned that Wu Fanhui They only lived for one night, and the shopkeeper said that he would not charge any fees, and all the meals and accommodations were invited to the inn.
The room arranged by the shopkeeper for Wu Fanhui is still the No. 3 room of the first-class upper room.
Wu Fanhui wrote in the inn "the sea is wide with the fish jumping, the sky is high and the birds fly" the word panel, hung in the most conspicuous place in the inn lobby, Wu Fanhui looked at this word, it is definitely not a masterpiece, but the shopkeeper will definitely introduce to every guest who enters the inn accommodation, Shaanxi's small three yuan have left a word panel here, the name of the three yuan building is true.
I believe that when the government takes the test next year, this inn must be full, and the shopkeeper of the inn will be afraid that he will be smiling from ear to ear.
After resting for the night, Wu Fanhui and his entourage left Yan'an Mansion City and continued to go in the direction of Xi'an Mansion City.
The situation in Luochuan has long become calm, and there is a story here, saying that Zhang Cunmeng, who once plundered in this generation, offended God and was sent to hell by the Jade Emperor.
Hearing this rumor, Wu Fanhui just smiled slightly, of course he knew why, not touching the mud Zhang Cunmengji's henchmen, who were killed by Li Yong and others, were buried in the valley, and now they have long since turned into white bones, how can the rest of the people see it.
Ma Sanli also followed to Xi'an Mansion this time.
Wu Fanhui deliberately rested overnight in the village and town where the official road had changed, and the resting place was not very far from Caijiaao, and even closer to the village whose name was not yet known.
When resting, Wu Fanhui specially instructed Ma Sanli to go back to the village to have a look, mainly to pay tribute to the father buried behind the house, the old man has suffered a lot in his life, but fortunately, when he left, he still ate two wheat cakes, so as not to leave hungry, Wu Fanhui's suggestion made Ma Sanli's tears flow out instantly.
Luo Chuan rested all night, and set off around noon the next day, Yan Qi was a little strange, the speed was very fast along the way, why did he delay time in Luochuan, but he didn't ask.
Starting from Luochuan, after four days, the group entered Tongguan County under the jurisdiction of Xi'an Prefecture from Phoenix Valley.
There are not many people on the official road, there is a taste of ten rooms and nine emptiness, and the taste of desolation is shown everywhere, even less than when Wu Fanhui took the hospital examination last year, the famine is still spreading, I don't know how many people have joined the rogue team, they have gone to Shanxi, and I don't know how many people starved to death.
After passing through Tongguan and Yaozhou, and entering Fuping, the official road began to become lively, and there were more people.
Wu Fanhui did not enter Fuping County, he still remembered the human market very clearly, and now the human market is afraid that it is even more lively, Wu Fanhui is powerless to change all this, so he simply can't see it and don't worry about it.
On July 27, the group passed through Jingyang County and finally entered the area under the jurisdiction of Xi'an Fucheng.
Seeing the towering city walls of Xi'an, Wu Fanhui had a taste of reunion after a long absence.
On the 10th day of July, he set off from Mizhi County, and arrived in Xi'an on July 28, 19 days, 1,200 miles, in Wu Fanhui's view, the speed was too slow, quite a bit of a taste of sightseeing, if it were not for Yan Qi all the way, his speed would be much faster, but on July 28, he arrived in Xi'an City, which was two days faster than the original scheduled time.
Wu Fanhui and Guo Yanqi wore the student shirts, so that the sergeant guarding the south gate was very respectful, these are all meritorious scholars, all of them came to Xi'an Fucheng to participate in the township examination, if they are high school, they are serious masters.
The sergeant didn't ask at all, including many of Wu Fanhui's subordinates, and waved his hand and let him go.
When entering Xi'an Mansion from the corridor of the city gate, Wu Fanhui looked at the situation of Yan Qi beside him, and he found that the expression of Guo Yan Qi was also nervous, and he was afraid that he had already thought of the township test more than a month later.
