After returning from the Sheng family, Li Hao began to do the questions given by Ouyang Xiu, the question itself is not difficult, it is rare how to figure out the examiner's intentions, and then answer, after all, personal preferences are different, and the imperial examination at this time is a subjective question, which is particularly important. The same is true for the officials who derive from the back, the mind of the constitution, the mind of the emperor, as long as you really figure it out, you can be invincible.

Of course, for Li Hao, this test is equivalent to a bright card, and Ouyang Xiu, as one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, has long been thoroughly studied in later generations. The style and wording of his article are too clear to Li Hao, a modern graduate majoring in ancient literature, and after carefully writing all the topics, Li Hao counted the time for Ouyang Xiu to visit again.

After entering the mansion and seeing Ouyang Xiu, Li Hao handed over the ten articles he had written, and after Ouyang Xiu read them carefully, he looked at Li Hao with a surprised face and did not speak for a long time. At this time, Li Hao was shown to Mao, and he thought something was wrong.

Li Hao asked in a low voice: "Uncle, I don't know if there is anything wrong with these articles, if there is, you can just say it." ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "You have studied my style very thoroughly, this can be regarded as a matter of favorites." ”

Li Hao was taken aback after hearing this, and thought that he had annoyed Ouyang Xiu, so he hurriedly defended: "You have always advocated a plain and simple style of writing, advocating that articles should be used in the world and respect Han Yu's ancient literary theory. I've heard all of this from the teacher, and I think so, so the article does the same. ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "Forget it, whether you are sincere or not, but your article is well written, it is indeed not the work of three or two days, but it is with my heart." Moreover, the imperial examination still has to be judged by someone after all, and it is a good thing if you can really meet the heart of the examiner. ”

After that, Li Hao commented on each article, and then left ten questions again for Li Hao to take back to do. Of course, every time Li Hao came to answer his questions, he would still leave Li Hao to have dinner in the mansion before letting Li Hao leave.

The following days passed day by day, and in the middle, he accompanied Yan Fu to visit his parents in the house. Not to mention anything else, after meeting Li Hao's face, the eldest brother's mother was still very kind, after all, the soap business that she didn't care about had brought rich returns to the family. Then the elder brother's father also asked some homework questions, and left a dinner before letting Li Hao leave.

waited until one day when I finished the topic and had dinner at Ouyang's mansion. Ouyang Xiu said: "My student Zeng Gong will go to Bianjing to participate in the examination in a few days, and I will introduce you to you at that time." Even if he's a lot older than you, I don't know if you can talk to him. ”

Li Hao listened, and said in his heart that he was another Tang and Song dynasty eight. Then he said: "Uncle, don't worry, I have always been good at dealing with older elders, how old is this senior brother this year." ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "He should be thirty or eight this year, he has been in Bianjing for a long time, and he can let him take you around Beijing when he has time, but although his family is also a hairpin for many generations, but later his family is in decline, so he can contribute, you kid is not a bad money lord, so you will entertain you, how"

Li Hao smiled: "Okay, the kid understands, he must entertain the senior brother well." ”

So on November 15, Li Hao met Zeng Gong in Ouyang Mansion, along with his younger brother Zeng Mu, Zeng Bu and cousin Zeng Fu. To say that these people are still very legendary, after all, in the same imperial examination, the four brothers were named on the gold list at the same time, and I have never heard of this kind of thing a few times in history.

Ouyang Xiu introduced the two sides, and after getting to know each other. asked people to sit down together, and after teaching everyone a lot of knowledge, they were naturally satisfied in the end, after all, except for Li Haoke, these people were all people he was admitted later in history, can they not be satisfied.

After eating in the middle, Ouyang Xiu said to Zeng Gong and them: "Since your brothers have come to Beijing, it is convenient to live in my mansion." ”

Zeng Gong said: "First, I don't want to trouble the teacher, and second, I have heard rumors that the teacher may serve as the main examiner of this year's examination. ”

At this time, Li Hao happened to answer: "Yes, let's let you senior brothers live in my house, my house is spacious and there are few people, it is just clean and convenient for studying." And if I live in my house, if I have a problem with my schoolwork, I can find someone to ask for advice in time, killing two birds with one stone. Uncle, don't fight with me. ”

After hearing this, Ouyang Xiu said: "Well, what you said is also reasonable, after all, schoolwork is important, and you are also going to participate in the imperial examination this year, and you need to ask for advice in time when you have questions, it just so happens that Zigu is knowledgeable." However, Zigu is also a reference for this session, so don't delay Zigu too much. ”

Li Hao said: "Uncle rest assured, the little nephew will definitely pay attention." ”

After Ouyang Xiu nodded yes, he left directly, not looking at Zeng Gong's face of refusal, but he didn't find the look of kung fu interjecting.

Li Hao naturally ignored it and said directly: "Brothers, come with me." ”

Zeng Gong said: "It's still not troublesome, let's go find a place." ”

After Li Hao heard this, he hurriedly said: "I have agreed with my uncle, and if I have a problem, I can't always find my uncle, so I will tell you, my uncle may be the main exam." And I don't know anyone when I come to the capital, so I can only trouble your brothers, and it is convenient for me to ask for advice when I come to live there. Could it be that your brothers don't look down on my shallow knowledge and don't want to teach me. ”

Zeng Gong hurriedly said: "Of course not. ”

Li Hao hurriedly answered, not letting Zeng Gong continue to explain: "Then let's say okay, just live in my house, please." ”

Saying that, he walked out directly, Zeng Mu, Zeng Bu, and Zeng Fu all looked at Zeng Gong in the courtyard, and after the four brothers glanced at each other, Zeng Gong said, "Then go to Li's house to borrow it." ”

Then the four of them followed Li Hao out and went back to the house, and when they arrived at the house, Li Hao took everyone to see Wei and Li Jian, so they arranged their own rooms and let everyone stay.

And then the days were the same as in the past, and they still focused on schoolwork, but Li Hao had one more task, which was to build a good relationship with the four brothers of the Zeng family, after all, except for Zeng Fu, the other three were not small in history. Although it has not appeared in the world of TV dramas, after all, he is in the real world now, and he has to stay in the future, so it is still necessary to have a good relationship with these cattle.

In this way, Li Hao's life is on the right track, but at this time, Wei learned something from the Sheng Mansion, and when he came back, he was quite angry, telling Li Hao and Li Jianminglan that they had been kneeling in the ancestral hall of the Sheng family for a few days, and no one cared.

As soon as Li Hao heard this, he remembered that the reason was that Mrs. Wu led Liang Han to Sheng Mansion, but Mo Lan pushed Rulan and Minglan out, so Sheng Hong punished Minglan and Rulan to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Li Hao originally wanted to change this matter, but he didn't know the specific date, and secondly, he didn't have an official position in his home after all, so Sheng Hong wouldn't really take his own family seriously. If you want to say it yourself, Sheng Hong will ignore it, and then it will hurt his own face, and second, it may make Sheng Hong's punishment heavier.

If you want to really help Minglan and support Minglan , you still have to be in power, just like Gu Tingye in the later stage, as long as he glared at Sheng Hong, he Sheng Hong panicked when he saw it, and he didn't dare to do anything at all.

So Li Hao could only persuade the Wei family, and there was originally an old lady of the Sheng family, so it would not cause Minglan to really have any damage. Sure enough, things were the same as the development of TV, so the two of them went back to the yard and invited Mama Kong to teach their children, so Wei was relieved.
