"Little sir! You're more energetic today than you were yesterday! According to Xu Guang's teachings, after a few simple exercises, the master brother showed joy and praised repeatedly.

"I also feel that I wake up a lot lighter, maybe it's because I've been sick for the past two days!" Li You was secretly happy in his heart, this was the result of his failure to exert his full strength in today's control; Don't be in a hurry to expose all your strength, and slowly exercise and gradually show your full strength, so that it will naturally not arouse the suspicion of others.

Xu Guang didn't think much about it, a few years ago, the little lord didn't like to practice martial arts very much, and he couldn't figure out how Li You's strength was, and now he regarded Li You's play as the old lord's bloodline is gradually awakening, "When the old lord was in the army, he was also a fierce general, as long as you exercise diligently, you won't be able to come out of the blue in the future!" ”

"Okay, from today onwards, you will accompany me to practice martial arts every morning!" In this way, when I enter the mission world in the future, I can be a little more sure, "I have to practice my fists and feet, equipment, and equestrianism!" Tomorrow, let them choose a few good horses to send to the martial arts arena! By the way, let Uncle Zhong find some people to level the land outside, so that he can run away! ”

If you just practice boxing and foot equipment, it's fine, if you want to learn riding and archery, this martial arts arena is a little too small and not enough! Although the Earl's Court has a special horse farm outside the city to practice, Li You was too lazy to run back and forth, so he simply asked someone to rebuild one! Who made us rich now?

"Well, it won't take long to expand the martial arts arena! But I'm afraid you don't need it, little sir? You're going to the capital next month! At that time, I am afraid that it was not repaired yet! Xu Guang touched his beard and said.

Well, to the capital? Why am I going to the capital? Oh no, forget about it! Li You patted his head and pulled out a strange regulation of the Great Wei Dynasty from the depths of his memory; It turned out that the Taizu of the Great Wei Dynasty was afraid that the Xungui family would fall in the future or have undesirable thoughts, so it was stipulated that all inheritors of the title of the Xungui family must go to the capital to study before the age of 20, and only after passing the examination can they officially inherit the title.

Originally, Li You should have gone to the capital a long time ago, but because the old lord and the old woman of the Earl's Mansion died at the same time, he needed to stay at home to keep his filial piety, so he postponed the time to enter Beijing.

Now that the twenty-seven months of filial piety has passed, it is time for him to go to the capital to study and prepare for the exam, only in this way can he successfully obtain the title of earl and continue to return to Jiazhou to live a decadent life.

Depend on! Before crossing over, you have to take the college entrance examination to enter the university, and you have to pass the civil service examination to enter the government! Originally, a child of a family who had crossed into a family would be able to live a good life, but I didn't expect to have to take an exam! Li You had a headache for a while.

"Mr. Xu, the exam of this Guozijian is not difficult, right?" Li You asked with a headache.

"In the first years of the founding of the country, when Taizu was still alive, he was indeed very strict! So much so that everyone has a legend that those who can pass the title inheritance exam are also handy to go to the Jinshi! At the beginning, the son of Qin Guogong was admitted from the age of eighteen to the age of thirty-six before he barely passed and got the title! Even more unfortunate is the one who failed to inherit the title for life! Xu Guang was not worried at all, "But now that the government is becoming more and more slack, you just need to go through the motions!" When the time comes, find the old man's old friend to help, and then send some silver to the examiner, and there will be no problem at all! ”

Corruption is good! When he was a commoner, Li You hated all kinds of corruption, and now that he has crossed over to become a member of the ruling class, his ass will naturally sit where it should be! As soon as I heard that I could get it by pulling the relationship and sending money, I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, "That's good, I've heard about the prosperity of the capital for a long time, and this time it's just time to see and see!" ”

"The courtyard of our Earl's Mansion in the capital is not far from Guozijian, and there are people who sweep it on weekdays! There is also a martial arts arena for you to practice martial arts, and as for the riding archery, we can just use it in the suburbs of the capital! Xu Guang knew a lot about the family business of the Earl's Court, and immediately proposed a solution, "On the way to Beijing, a certain family can also teach the little lord!" ”

"That's great!" Is that courtyard equivalent to the Beijing Office in the future? Presumably, the functions of the two are similar, both are to have a good relationship with the high-ranking officials in the capital, and keep abreast of the dynamics of the capital, so as to prepare in advance. ”

"Little lord, please rest assured, the loyal butler has been preparing since three months ago! Now it's all ready, except for a few rarities! Xu Guang has a high status in the mansion, and he is also involved in these things, at least the gift list of those old friends in the army is drawn up by him, "There is only one thing, the gifts of Master Zhou and Miss Zhou need to be decided by you personally!" ”

Bachelor Zhou? Miss Zhou? Li You was in a trance, and quickly began to search for his memory, but the answer made him not know what to do; It turned out that this Bachelor Zhou was a close friend of the old earl, born in the Zhou clan of Runan, whose name was Ji Lao, who was a famous Confucian in the world, and was currently a bachelor of Hanlin, in charge of the system; His daughter's name is Zhou Nan, one year younger than Li You, and she is just fifteen this year.

Like most people in this era, since they are old friends, the relationship has gone further, so when Zhou Nan was born, the two old people helped them get married! Now the marriage book and Zhou Nan's eight characters are placed in Li You's study.

This is a bit unacceptable! Li You's mind came up with the image of a yellow-haired girl, although she hadn't seen each other for seven or eight years, but judging by her appearance when she was a child, she shouldn't be very good-looking now, right? And it's too uncomfortable to get married so early? I'm a man who aspires to be a gentleman, and it's really uncomfortable to find myself a room early! I wonder if I can cancel the marriage?

In the capital, in the Hanlin Bachelor's Mansion, a maid hurriedly ran to the backyard and came to the young lady with her mouth covered, "Miss Miss, I just heard that Madam said that your husband will leave for the capital next month!" ”

"I know how to chew the root of my tongue all day long, and there are no rules at all!" Zhou Nan put down the half-drawn ink bamboo diagram and frowned slightly. Hey, I don't know what this little lord has become over the years! If I become like those gentlemen in the capital, who don't learn and don't know how to mess with flowers and grass all day long, then I'd rather be a monk than marry him! My husband has to be a well-educated man like Daddy!

So, before Li You began to leave for the capital, the two protagonists of this marriage contract began to think about how to make it invalid!
