Two days before the first township test, the waves were not shocked.

Every day is the scorching sun, there is no meaning of rain, the confined space exacerbates this stuffy feeling, fortunately here is along the river, and it is already in the middle of August, once the sun sets, the temperature drops immediately, and it is quite comfortable to be in the examination shed.

If it is placed in Fujian or Guangdong, it is estimated that it will be like a steamer in the morning and evening, and the whole body will be soaked.

On the third day of the exam, the candidates were visibly nervous.

The inspector enters the examination booth early in the morning and accepts candidates to submit papers at any time.

Zhu Hao finished transcribing the paper the afternoon of the previous day, and got up this morning and checked it several times.

Seeing that someone entered the field to collect the papers, Zhu Hao checked it again, felt that it was foolproof, and immediately applied to hand in the papers.

When he walked out of the examination shed, Zhu Hao found that he was the first to hand in the papers...... His biggest thought at the moment was to get out of this hellish place quickly, even though he knew he would be back this afternoon.

……

……

Zhu Hao came to the door of the examination room and waited for the arrangement.

After a while, Sun Ru appeared from outside another examination booth, followed by a candidate, looking at their heads and ears, they should be acquaintances.

The candidate had a hippie smile, his face was full of teasing expressions, and he kept talking, as if he was making fun of Sun Ru, but because he didn't leave the examination room, he didn't dare to make a loud noise.

When Sun Ru saw Zhu Hao, his eyes widened, and he was shocked with admiration, as if he was impatient to tell his husband...... Sir, you bet on a total of 12 questions, hit two of them, and wrote a model essay to force me to memorize, which is simply the guiding light of my life.

But this is the examination room, Sun Ru didn't dare to make a sound, his mouth was closed, and he seemed to endure it very hard, and the candidate next to him was still chattering non-stop.

Waiting for the door of the Gongyuan to open, Zhu Hao and Sun Ru were the first to walk out of the examination room.

"Young Master of the Zhu family, you really accepted a high-ranking apprentice...... He just told me that he performed very well in this township examination and will definitely be able to go to high school, so I wish you all the masters and apprentices on the list, and it is best to be admitted to the Jinshi next year...... Hahaha......"

Speaking of the back, this candidate was amused by his humor, but Sun Ru didn't notice it at all, and he grinned happily.

Zhu Hao thought to himself, no wonder you kid is always used as a joke, and you don't react at all when others laugh at you, this mentality ...... It's good, at least don't offend anyone.

Finally said goodbye to the man.

When he walked to the corner of the street, there was no one around, and Sun Rucai said with a look of surprise: "Teacher, you are really a god and a man, this time it is ......a big competition."

"Didn't you just hit two questions? What's so strange? ”

Zhu Hao didn't want to entangle too much with Sun Ru, "I said Sun Ru, you have to remember that this matter is known to you and me, don't tell a third person, otherwise others will think that I got the exam questions from." ”

"Yes, yes."

Sun Ru is not stupid at this time.

Zhu Hao can see that this Sun Ru has a good face and likes to pretend in front of people, whoever says two good words to him, he can treat people as confidants, and he doesn't know that other people's "good words" are thorny, and he obviously takes him as a joke.

However, in terms of knowing right from wrong, at least in the past few years, under Zhu Hao's cultivation, Sun Ru has made great progress.

As his own big disciple...... Zhu Hao didn't know what to say.

……

……

Back at his residence, Zhu Hao wanted to get a good night's sleep and recharge his energy.

But Lu Song came over and talked about the results of the communication with the Huguang Division.

“…… Now that the war is over, what is the practical point of communication? Lu Dianzhan's current focus should be on protecting that lady. ”

Zhu Hao reminded Lu Song.

Don't come to see me whenever you have time, keeping Lou Suzhen safe is more important than anything else.

Lu Song said: "I have asked Yu Dangjia to send someone to keep an eye on it, strictly guard against it, and there are hired maids who don't know the reason to watch it, so as to prevent her from thinking about it for a while." ”

This shows that Lu Song still has brains.

He knew that the two biggest problems in protecting Lou Suzhen were to prevent Lou Suzhen from running away, and the other was to prevent him from committing suicide.

After Wang Shouren pacified the Chenhao Rebellion, he implemented the strategy of pacifying the people and appeasing the people, and in the official statement, Lou Suzhen had already jumped into the lake and died, even if Huguang was raided and arrested, it would not be possible to search for the female relatives of the Ning Palace.

Zhu Hao nodded.

At present, Yu San has become the main force under his command, which is what his own people can believe, when he came, he felt that everything depended on Lu Song, but it turned out that Lu Song only played the role of a liaison in it, bluffing people in the name of Xingwangfu and Jinyiwei, and it was Yu San who did the specific things.

Zhu Hao felt that it was time to give Yu San processing money when he went back.

……

……

The second exam is just around the corner.

After Lu Song left, Zhu Hao didn't care about resting, so he had to prepare the things needed for the second exam, especially the food to eat in the next three days.

This side is in preparation, Su Xigui came to visit in a hurry, and looked at Zhu Hao with sympathetic eyes as soon as they met: "The little master has experienced an ordeal, are you okay?" ”

Zhu Hao asked curiously, "What is the tribulation?" Why didn't the owner of the Su Dynasty leave? ”

Su Xigui originally said that he was going to leave Wuchang within half a month, but now he didn't leave, and he still had the heart to visit, which means that Su Xigui is not in a hurry.

"Oh, it is said that if you go to the Gongyuan in this township, you will have to shed your skin if you don't die, Zhu Xiao's family has been pampered in the past few years, and Su is afraid that you won't be able to adapt to it...... Otherwise, I have prepared some dried abalone and dried ginseng here, you can take it and make one or two, how about eating it during the exam? ”

Su Xigui said that let people send abalone ginseng wings, which are rare treasures among the people.

As soon as Zhu Hao heard it, he knew that this guy had something to ask for.

Zhu Hao said: "If you don't make up for it, I'm afraid that if you eat these things in the tribute courtyard, you will immediately vomit and diarrhea, and you don't even know where the road out of the tribute courtyard is...... During the exam, it is best to eat the food that the stomach is usually accustomed to, and I understand the kindness of the Su Dongzhu, so let's talk about it. ”

"Hey, how else can you say that the little master is very discerning? That's it...... It's almost His Majesty's birthday, and this emperor's birthday...... It is the so-called Qianqiu Festival, always have to be prepared, it is said that you can take out the glass beads back then, there must be a better tribute. Huang Gong's official position will be adjusted at the end of the year, and this time will ...... There should be something to show for it. ”

Usually, Huang Zan and Su Xigui don't care much about what gifts the emperor gives on his birthday.

But when it comes to the transfer of official positions, Huang Zan knows very well that he can't open a breakthrough from the civilian side, so he can only start from the emperor's side.

The civil officials did not approve of me, saying that I started by tying up with the emperor!

To say that I am is, what can you do with me?

Zhu Hao said: "I am still in the Gongyuan Academy, so I have to prepare a gift for the Thousand Autumn Festival for the Su Dongzhu......"

Su Xigui sighed: "Contemptible people also know that this is a little difficult for the little master, but it will never be used in vain, if you can come up with the right thing, let alone silver, even if it is a more important thing...... Such as fame, fortune and power, where Huang Gong can serve the contemptible and the contemptible people, the little master can only speak. ”

Su Xigui also knows that Zhu Hao is not short of money now.

It's useless to always use silver to lure Zhu Hao, it's better to have something more practical, maybe Zhu Hao will be promoted in the exam, will he be an official in the future? Or is there a need for some façade stuff? Where will Zhu Hao go to study in the future, he must have a name, right? Or go to Beijing to take the Jinshi examination, do you want to visit the famous Confucian from Hanlin?

Zhu Hao smiled.

Su Xigui will always vote for others, it is estimated that this is seeing people talking about people and talking nonsense, knowing that he may have a reputation for raising people immediately, before he was not admitted to the exam, he specially came to fool around, which probably means, you see that you are so confident that you can pass the exam, I will help you arrange your reputation outside the field in the future, help you publish a book and a biography, and let you have your own reputation in the literary world...... Just ask you if it's fragrant?

"I'll take a look." Zhu Hao said.

Su Xigui looked helpless: "Little master, you also know that the contemptible people are about to go north...... I'm afraid it's too late for a lot of things. ”

Zhu Hao said: "When I'm ready, how about finding someone to send it to you?" By the way, Lord Su, for His Majesty's recent southern tour, can you help make some arrangements? ”

"Huh?"

Su Xigui was stunned and didn't understand the trick.

Zhu Hao smiled: "That's the case, you also know that I was born in a drama troupe, I have a lot of good drama books here, and some scripts, talking books or something, why don't you deal with it first?" ”

"Good, good!"

Su Xigui's remark is tantamount to exposing his arrangements for the emperor's southern tour to have fun.

This is also a situation that Zhu Hao has long predicted.

Zhu Hao wanted to ask Su Xigui about this before, and when the other party came to him to ask for a congratulatory gift, he said it by the way.

Zhu Hao's purpose is naturally to have a channel to get close to the emperor, not to let him go by himself, but to let many things develop according to the trajectory of history...... Whatever the means taken, there must be someone by the emperor's side.

For example, find something delicious and fun to drag the emperor for a few days, so that the emperor can go to the lake more often...... Do some entertainment on the lake......

Since Su Xigui is good at this, he naturally wants to lead things to Su Xigui, of course, the last step, that is, Zhu Houzhao falls into the water, Zhu Hao doesn't expect anyone, because the operability is not strong.

Zhu Hao just wants Zhu Houzhao to have the established things happen at a specific time, so that time and space do not change too much, not to be the last person to push Zhu Houzhao.

"I didn't have it with me, so let's do it, when the exam is over, I will hurry up and write out the drama and the script, and give it to your person to send it to you, and you can find a drama troupe to rehearse." Zhu Hao said.

Su Xigui sighed: "It would be nice if I could directly buy the little master's drama troupe." ”

actually got the idea of his own drama troupe, Zhu Hao hurriedly shook his head: "If you want to learn drama, you can buy a bigger and better drama troupe and send it to Anlu, I will help you cultivate it, what do you think?" ”

"Good, good!"

Su Xigui was very happy to hear it.

Buying Zhu Hao's opera troupe, although the technology is formed, but just like the reason why King Ning wanted to buy Zhu Hao's opera troupe but would not give it to the emperor, the actors in Zhu Hao's opera troupe are not handsome enough for men and women for women, and it is flawed to perform in front of the emperor.

You can buy very good opera troupes and operas from the land south of the Yangtze River, and you can buy them from the country and the fragrance, as long as you let Zhu Hao teach one or two in person, the technical matters can also be solved very well.

That's it......

Let a talent or a future person teach the drama to sing by hand, it will take a lot of face.

Su Xigui is also ready to give Zhu Haosai more benefits.

This is called enlightenment.
