Whether Dr. Wu wants to or not, three days later, he will still go on the road with Yu Lin.

The Yu family has two carriages, one carrying people and one carrying soft goods, clothes and other belongings, while the Wu family has more, in addition to fine soft, there are also a large number of medicinal materials and other things to be used, which is enough to load four carriages, plus the carriage for themselves, the two families together have as many as seven carriages.

Together with the people who were invited to be escorts, a small convoy was formed.

Although this is the world of the Ming Dynasty, there are still many rogues, especially those who were scattered by the Qi family's army, and they can't help but be guarded, so the Yu Lin clan listened to Yu Jin's advice and invited a team of guards.

There is no need to alarm Wen Sheng about this matter, Deng Yong introduced a few, wrote a letter of introduction, and quickly solved the matter.

Anyway, there is no hurry, the right to be a tourist, and the group will go on the road from Yuyao and head to the capital.

Soon, Dr. Wu, who was full of joy, became a loner.

First of all, Wu Xuan went to find Yu Lin's every other day, and said that she was afraid of touching Yu Lin's wounds, so she took care of her, and slowly Mrs. Wu also ran to the carriage of the Yu family to chat, and the four women mingled together, and then simply played the leaf card, laughing and laughing, and it was not boring all the way.

It's just that he hurt Dr. Wu, taking care of the team, taking care of food and lodging, etc., he was all alone, before and after running, not to mention how depressed he was.

Dr. Wu felt lonely on the road, but Yu Jin, who was far away in the capital, felt that the Beijing reading was becoming more and more lively.

It's very simple, the imperial examination will be examined.

The official imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty was divided into three levels: the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination. The location is in the south, Beijing Mansion, and the residence of the political envoy. Once every three years, it is held every child, Mao, noon, and unitary year, and is also called Xiangfu.

The examination will be held in the second year of the township examination, that is, in the year of Chou, Chen, Wei, and Xu, and according to the convention, the whole country will raise people to take the examination in Beijing. The examination period is in February in spring, so it is called Chunqiu.

This examination, which has a bearing on the future and destiny of the candidates, is divided into three sessions and is held on the 9th, 12th, and 15th of February.

This year is the forty-fourth year of Jiajing, the year of the imperial examination, also known as the Yichou Branch. For a time, the capital lifted people gathered, and the lifting of people that are rare on weekdays abound in the capital, and some people exaggeratedly said: throw a few bricks on the street, hit ten people, and six or seven of the ten people are lifting people.

Perhaps, a certain squatting on the side of the street and nibbling on a flatbread is a high-ranking man in a certain place.

When Yu Jin went to the street to buy something. I found that the topics that people talked about were all related to the imperial examination, some people discussed the preferences of the main talent examiners, some people exchanged learning experiences, and some people were arguing about a certain topic, many of which were about to take the exam.

Some of these movers are young men in their prime, some are old and white, and most of them are middle-aged uncles. It is undeniable that they were all killed from thousands of armies. In any case, the cold window was not read in vain.

"That's a lot of people." After getting tired of walking, Yu Jin took Qing'er and rested in a teahouse under the protection of Deng Yong and Zhang Ben.

Deng Yong smiled and agreed: "That's." I only take the exam once every three years, so I can't miss this opportunity. ”

"In any case, these scholars can come this far, and they are already famous, no matter how well they do in the exam. They've made it through. Zhang Ben also said with a smile.

Qing'er suddenly glanced at Yu Jin with some interest, and said: "Young master, if you go to participate in the imperial examination, maybe at this moment, you are also one of them, if you can't guarantee it, you can also be named on the gold list." ”

For a long time, Qing'er felt that it was a waste not to take the imperial examination because of Yu Jin's talent.

Wu Han no pavilion, what is said is that the people who can enter the cabinet are all from the Hanlin Academy, without this experience, there is no qualification to enter the cabinet, the Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to the background, like those who rely on filling vacancies, the door shade to get officials, it seems that the name is not right, and is looked down upon.

If you want to go further in the officialdom, you must be born in the imperial examination and rely on your true talent to gain fame.

The most obvious example is Tang Bohu and Xu Wenchang in the Ming Dynasty, their real names are Tang Yin and Xu Wei respectively.

Of course, calculating the time, Tang Bohu has already turned into dust, and Comrade Xu Wenchang is still hanging his head and stabbing the stock for the imperial examination.

Yu Jin's fame stopped at Xiao Xiucai.

It's not that Xiucai is useless, at least the privilege of not kneeling when seeing officials makes Yu Jin very satisfied, but he doesn't need Qing'er to remind Yu Jin that a small Xiucai is not enough to see in the officialdom.

Everyone thinks that it is a pity that Yu Ji does not go to the imperial examination, only Yu Jin knows his own business.

If you don't go, there's still a little bit of vanity, and if you go, then your true form will be revealed.

Yu Jin knew what Qing'er was referring to, smiled when he heard the words, shook his head and said, "I'll tell you a story." ”

"Okay, I like to listen to the young master's stories." Deng Yong said with a grin.

Yes, this guy is the first to echo every time.

Fortunately, his ability to do things is not bad, if he only has lip service, Yu Jin will not reuse him.

Seeing that Qing'er and Zhang Ben were both listening, Yu Jin said slowly: "There is a rich boy who travels everywhere, and one day he came to the beach, the sky is very blue, the weather is very good, and there is an old fisherman lying on his boat on the seaside, lazily blowing the sea breeze and basking in the sun while sleeping. ”

The rich boy thought it was very strange, and asked the old fisherman why he didn't go to sea to fish in such good weather, and the old fisherman replied that the harvest in the morning was very rich, and there was no need to go to sea in the afternoon, and the rich boy persuaded him that as long as he earned a little more every day, he saved the money, and then used the saved money to buy boats, recruit people, and expand the fleet, so that he could catch more fish and make more money, and then he could lie here comfortably and bask in the sun, and he didn't have to work so hard.

When the old fisherman heard this, he winked and smiled and said, Aren't you basking in the sun now?"

After the story was finished, Yu Jin laughed and said: "Young Master Ben can be regarded as living a retired life in advance, no, it is called living a life of Zhishi in advance." ”

Deng Yong and Zhang Ben looked at each other, not knowing what to say, while Qing'er glanced at Yu Jin in the narration and said angrily: "Crooked." ”

Yu Jin suddenly said curiously: "Who is the examiner of this issue?" ”

"Gao Gong" Deng Yong immediately said: "This is recommended by Xu Shoufu." ”

High arch?

Yu Jin seemed to think of something, then frowned, and then said to himself: "I guess there will be a good show soon, it's really eventful." ”

Zhang Ben asked curiously, "Young Master, what's wrong?" What's the play? ”

"Nothing." Yu Jin shook his head and didn't explain.

While speaking, Dr. Tea came over, and while refilling the tea for Yu Jin and a few people, he said to Yu Jin: "Childe, this pot is the best Biluochun, please taste it." ”

Qing'er frowned and said, "Wrong, let's order the tip of the hair." ”

"Can't be wrong" Dr. Tea pointed to the corner and said, "It was given to Childe by the young master, and the tea money has already been paid." ”

Someone please for tea?

Yu Jin turned his head and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: Song Chenxi was holding a teacup and making a gesture to himself.

This guy, what's wrong? (To be continued.) )
