Yang Hao left the mansion and took Mu Yu to "Ruxuefang", passing through the Gongyuan, he saw three steps and one post in front of the Gongyuan, five steps and one sentry, and the guard was very strict, and there were many small traders in front of the Gongyuan who were shouting and selling.

Yang Hao said in surprise: "What happened in the Gongyuan, why is it so heavily guarded?" ”

Mu Yu was just about to ask someone, and a loud voice next to him said hesitantly: "Look at your dress, you also look like a student, don't you know that today is the spring period, and all students from all over the world come to the scientific examination?" ”

Yang Hao turned his head to look, but he was a big man like an iron tower, wearing a banana leaf-shaped scarf with gold thread and edges, a round-necked purple robe, and a pair of purple flat boots under his feet. Yang Hao has seen a lot of tall and strong men in the Northern Army, and in comparison, the person in front of him is not much taller than himself, but he is very majestic, with thick eyebrows and wide eyes, and he is full of energy.

Yang Hao said with a smile: "Thank you for your advice, although I am wearing Sven, but in terms of knowledge, the gate of this tribute courtyard is not worthy of entering, and it is not a serious scholar." ”

When the big man heard this, he laughed and said, "You have a straightforward temperament, and it seems that I judge people by their appearance." But you don't have to call me a strong man, although I am stronger than you, I am a decent reader. ”

"Reader?"

Yang Hao was taken aback, just by the appearance of this big man, if he hadn't said it himself, I'm afraid no one really thought that he was actually a scholar. Yang Hao looked up and down, and saw that this person had some dirt on his chest, and said strangely: "This son, didn't he fall just a little?" ”

The man smiled and said, "This soil didn't fall, it was just thrown out of the tribute courtyard and rubbed on the ground." ”

Yang Hao couldn't help but want to laugh, and forcibly said: "Gongzi went to the Tribute Academy, naturally he was going to participate in the scientific examination, but why was he thrown out." ”

"Hey, that's bad luck." The big man walked side by side with him, followed by a small servant, who was a little the same age as Xiao Yu.

The man smiled: "I am from Qizhou (Jinan Mansion) in Shandong, and my surname is Cui Ming Dalang." I won't tell you the truth, in fact, I am now famous, three years ago I was in the middle, but that time I took the test is 'sticking the scriptures', 'sticking the scriptures' is not very useful, just need to memorize more than 400,000 words of "Zhou Yi", "Shangshu", "Mao's Poems", "Rites" and "Spring and Autumn Zuochuan" backwards.

So although I was successful, I still came to retake the exam this spring, and the test is naturally to enter the Shike, which is the way to enter the phase. Today's test is the legal endowment, and the title is "Uncrowned". The examiner selected eight words of rhyme to determine eight types of rhyme, and required to write no more than 400 words of rhyme.

It's just that I'm really unlucky, and when I'm about to finish writing, I found that I used the wrong rhyme, and the rhyme was not in accordance with the regulations, and the article was in vain, and I was anxious in my heart, and I was sweating, so I took off my shirt and took advantage of the cold, and I didn't want the examiner to see that there were words on my body and said that I plagiarized, a straight thief, and didn't listen to an explanation, so he drove me out."

Yang Hao was surprised: "There are words on the body, what are the words?" ”

The big man said angrily: "I only have one person's poems on me, how can I use it for plagiarism?" That dog officer has a donkey's head straight up! ”

As he spoke, he lifted his robe and pointed to the chest of **: "Brother, have you seen it?" ”

Yang Hao fixed his eyes and saw that there were words tattooed on the chest of this big man, not only words, but also paintings.

The tattoo is a picture of a garden scenery and a flock of birds flying, and there are two lines of poetry next to it. The big man shook his robe and was about to put it on, suddenly glanced at Yang Hao, and said: "Look at your appearance, even if you don't read, you should be literate, do you know who wrote the poem on the chest of a certain family's 'tired around the field, tsk flock of flying birds'?" ”

Yang Hao really didn't know, and couldn't help but say embarrassedly: "I'm ashamed to say it, I really don't know it."

When the big man heard Hehe smiled, he smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, don't blame those who don't know, have you heard of Bai Letian?" ”

White Lotte?

Yang Hao turned a corner in his mind before he remembered that Bai Lotian was Bai Juyi. Of course Bai Juyi knew it, and said with a smile: "I know, it turns out that ...... Is this Bai Juyi's poem? ”

The big man said happily: "Exactly, all I have on my body this week are Bai Letian's poems and paintings that fit the occasion." ”

He rolled up the sleeves of his robe, exposed his left arm, and said teasingly: "Look here, the tattoo is 'The East China Sea is white, and the mountains are five points green'." ”

Yang Hao looked at it, and sure enough, it was a poem and a picture of the sea and green mountains.

The big man put his right arm horizontally and said: "The tattoo here is 'The ancient sword is cold and dark, cast for thousands of years'."

Yang Hao smiled: "Ah, exactly, sure enough, it really ......"

Dahan grabbed his belt and said with a smile: "What I tattooed under my crotch is 'a green jade plant, a thousand leaves and green clouds'......"

Yang Hao was taken aback by him, and hurriedly stopped: "Brother Tai, here...... Don't look at it. ”

The big man laughed, and then stopped unbuttoning his pants, if Yang Hao hadn't stopped him, he would really let Yang Hao appreciate it. At this time, the atmosphere of the world is open, and there are often madmen who do amazing things, and Han Xizai, a bachelor in the Southern Tang Dynasty, often likes to use a ruler to measure the size of the guests' words in front of many concubines when he feasts guests.

It doesn't matter, but it doesn't matter anywhere else. This super fan of Bai Juyi said that his eyebrows fluttered, so he turned around, slightly removed his robe, exposed his back and small half-pulled ass balls, and pointed there and said: "Look here, here is the tattoo of 'full of flowers, chrysanthemums, and tulips, and there are lonely bushes like frost'."

Yang Hao looked down from his broad back, the color of the flowers was dazzling, and then looked at his fingers, only to see a garden with blue tiles and white walls tattooed on the big black ass eggs of the millstone, and there were chrysanthemums blooming everywhere...... This big man who is sturdy than a bear is actually a very petty bourgeois enthusiast...... which is really unthinkable, and what is even more unexpected is that it is ...... This chrysanthemum pattern is really not a place.

Yang Hao only felt a chill in his heart, and the big man proudly tied up his robe and asked, "I haven't asked the great name yet, where is this going?"

Yang Hao was relieved when he saw him getting dressed, he was so unscrupulous on the street, he didn't care, Yang Hao was ashamed of him for a long time: "My surname is Yang Minghao, this is going to 'Ruxuefang'." ”

Cui Dalang was overjoyed when he heard this: "'Ruxuefang'? A certain family has heard of it, I heard that the girl Liu Duoer there is both talented and beautiful, and she is overwhelmed by the women in Tokyo, just because she is clean and self-conscious, and refuses to serve with her body, offending the powerful people in the court, so she is suppressed, and I want to see this strange woman who is not stained out of the mud, and is walking with Brother Yang. ”

Yang Hao saw that even the candidates who came from afar knew about the rumors he had made, and many people began to sympathize with Liu Duoer's experience, and couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, he saw that Cui Dalang was still in the mood to visit a brothel after failing the exam, and felt a little funny, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Taiyuan came from Qizhou, Shandong, and he didn't rank in the imperial examination this time, so he was not in a hurry to return to his hometown?" ”

Cui Dalang said with a smile: "I can say that the donkey-headed examiner only beat me out, but I have not been registered, so I am still qualified as a candidate." If you don't get in the spring, you can also take the autumn test, my family is far away in Qizhou, and when I go back, I have to pack up and rush back, wouldn't it be comfortable to wait here for the autumn test? ”

While the two of them walked, they listened to Cui Dalang say some things, and Yang Hao realized that the imperial court took the exam twice a year, once in spring and once in autumn, and many candidates did not take the autumn exam in spring, and one exam was half a year, a few months or even a year. During the waiting time, they stayed in the city, and they lived in guest houses or temples or temples where they had no money, and most of the rich lived in brothels.

The brothel is equivalent to the star-rated hotel of later generations, eating, drinking and having one-stop service, most of the children of the official eunuchs and the children of the rich family live in this kind of place, Cui Dalang was thrown out of the tribute courtyard, and he was going to find a brothel, but it happened that Yang Haoti's Liu Duoer was a girl who made him curious, so it was logical that he went the same way.

Talking all the way, listening to this Cui Dalang introduce himself, their family is in Qizhou, Shandong, which is one of the best wealthy families, the fields are so wide, they can't run out of their fields for a day on horseback, the ancestral house is full of gold and silver, and the servants are like clouds, originally there was no need to take the exam, he wanted to take the exam, in fact, he knew that he was not so capable, mainly because the family had big rules, and he found a reason to come out to relax, so he didn't take it to heart, and he was not in a hurry to go back.

Yang Hao was unconsciously moved when he heard this, that Wu Wa'er was a famous prostitute in Bianliang, and she was very familiar with the ministers, magnates, gentry and celebrities, and the support she could win for Liu Duoer was limited. Coupled with the heavy local concept of the Chinese, the two teams compete, their local team is no longer contentious, the heart is also towards it, Liu Duoer and Wu Wa'er dispute, I am afraid that most of the local gentry also have this concept, if people are lonely, how to build momentum for Liu Duoer?

This person is a foreigner, and his family is very rich, if he is enveloped and brings more wealthy sons from other places who go to Beijing to take the exam, then Liu Duoer's fan base will have rules, and this "super girl" competition, there will not even be a "group of relatives and friends" on his side.

With this thought in his heart, Yang Hao was also polite to Cui Dalang, the two called them brothers, the more they talked, the more speculative they became, and when they arrived at Ruxuefang, Yang Hao invited Cui Dalang to sit in the front hall, and said with a smile: "Brother Cui, please sit down for a while, I will go to meet Miss Duo'er, and then I will introduce you to you, seeing that it is not too late, I will talk with Brother Cui here tonight." ”

"Okay, Brother Yang, please." Cui Dalang responded with a smile, and Yang Hao hurriedly walked towards the back house.

"Eldest prince, Tang Sangong ...... tonight"

Cui Dalang raised his hand, and the little guy behind him immediately stopped, Cui Dalang looked at Yang Hao's back, and a shrewd look flashed in his eyes that was in no match for his rough appearance, and said with a smile: "This Yang Hao is very interesting, don't you think?" ”

The little guy glanced at Yang Hao's back, but he didn't see where he was interesting all over his body, so he couldn't help but praise: "The eldest prince has a unique ...... of insight."
