Taking advantage of Lu Zhou's inattention, Yan Junqi quickly kissed Lu Xu, moved away and turned into a serious appearance.

Lu Xu looked at him with bright eyes, and the corners of his mouth were raised all morning, and they never fell.

The two of them went out of the house, and when they arrived at the uninhabited alley, they walked slowly hand in hand, "I'll take Lu Zhou to the academy to have a look at it in a while to see what things to prepare." ”

"Well, if this one doesn't work, we'll look for it together when I'm resting."

"Okay."

"If the academy card is famous, I will come back early every day, and I will teach."

"Okay."

They inquired before, the famous academies at least have to show talent to accept people, some private schools can be relaxed to children, Lu Zhou does not even have children, and the private schools that can enter are very limited.

However, the officials in the capital come from all over the world, and not everyone in the family can return to their hometown to take the exam, and the capital also has corresponding conveniences, as long as there is a letter of recommendation from the court officials and the money is paid, you can take the exam in the capital.

It's just that the number of places that can be hired in the capital is limited, and the examination room is also limited.

Longxing is too far away, so they still have to pay for the exam in the capital.

As for the difficulty of the exam questions, Lu Xu thought very clearly, if even Tongsheng and Xiucai can't compete with the scholars in the capital, then how can the Jinshi be compared with the geniuses of the whole country?

Since you want to take the exam, let's come one by one, it doesn't matter if you can't take the exam, he can afford the registration fee, there are many more books in the capital than in Guanyang, and it is not bad to study in the capital for a few years.

Lu Zhou listened, didn't get nervous or refute, and said solemnly: "I will be admitted." ”

Lu Xu: "It's okay if you can't pass the exam. ”

Lu Zhou emphasized: "I can get in." ”

Lu Xu: "Okay! Keep up this enthusiasm and work hard! ”

He gave Lu Zhou money and asked Lu Zhou to buy books and read them by himself, buy them casually, and read them casually.

He never felt that they Lu Zhou lacked talent, and the examiners in the capital rotated frequently, so he could always meet and appreciate him.

If the examiners of the entire Daqi are blind-eyed......

Then they will stay up until Junqi can be the examiner!

Chapter 212: Classmates

As expected, the few academies close to home at least need children, and the only one that is not restricted is the private school of Jiameng.

The youngest child inside is only five or six years old, and the older one is only in his teens, and it is a bit inappropriate to put fifteen-year-old Lu Zhou in it.

Lu Xu comforted Lu Zhou: "It's okay, Jun Qi said that he will teach you when he comes back, and when he finishes the Tongsheng exam in the fall, we will come to the academy to study." ”

Lu Zhou was not discouraged or sad, and nodded sensibly, "I can study at home by myself." ”

Lu Xu was unwilling.

Every time he saw Lu Zhou studying hard at home, he felt that reading was a very hard thing, and he always felt that it was not happy enough.

Lu Xu: "You don't have to read any scriptures or books, there are so many books in the capital, you can pick up some travelogue books and read them, learn calligraphy and painting, or go out to climb the mountain with your children, find a small pavilion to read while enjoying the scenery." ”

There are many tourists in the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing, and there are other gardens built by dignitaries and nobles on the mountain, there are no wild beasts, it is very safe, and it is a good place to relax.

It's the end of May, and the weather is neither hot nor cold, so it's a good time to go out.

"Anyway, the exam is still far away, let's go play!" Lu Xu encouraged him, "Do you still have money?" ”

Lu Zhou nodded.

Lu Xu stuffed him with a bag of change and asked him to go to Jiang Hao to play.

He looked at that child, who was very lively and playful, and his age was about the same as Lu Zhou, and the two of them could talk very well.

Lu Zhou packed his money bag and walked towards the back door of He's house alone.

Jiang Hao had already told him where he lived, and it was this road that led him last time, and Lu Zhou still recognized it.

Walk three and a half streets from his house.

After passing by the shop that sells dim sum, Lu Zhou went in and bought two pieces of red bean cake and two pieces of osmanthus cake, Jiang Hao likes to eat snacks.

Lu Zhou knew that Jiang Hao's servants never bought him snacks, and every time Jiang Hao wanted to taste something, the servant's brows would be twisted.

He made up for it Jiang Hao was a child who came from other places to join his relatives and study with his uncle, and now he is under the fence, and he doesn't bring too much money, only good clothes can support the scene, and the servants are careful not to buy him food.

Lu Zhou has taken care of his younger brothers and sisters since he was a child, he is thrifty but not stingy, although he bought a house for his brother with his own pocket money, what his brother gave him was his own food money by default, and he still bought pastries for Jiang Hao.

When he arrived at the back door of Hefu, he knocked on the door, and the doorman recognized him and asked him to run to find Jiang Hao later.

The location where Jiang Hao lives is He Chengye's own small courtyard, which is connected to the inner door of the Taishi Mansion, but it is far away.

He didn't go to the He family's home school to study, that group of children knew him, he used to be too restrained, he didn't like it.

Usually when He Chengye went to court, he did his homework in the courtyard by himself, and after He Chengye officially began to teach him, he only worked in the imperial city in the morning and came back in the afternoon to teach him homework.

Teachers who want to teach him other subjects, those who need to go to the early court, will come after the early court, and those who do not need the early court will come early in the morning.

If there is no class in the morning, and he finishes his schoolwork again, He Chengye will let him go out to play.

Today it happened that Jiang Hao was learning to ride and shoot, using the small shooting range that He Chengye had just cleaned up for him yesterday, and Sun Duwei of the Royal Forest Army was teaching him, and when he heard that Lu Zhou was coming, Jiang Hao asked Sun Duwei if he could let his friend in.

When Daqi founded the country, he emphasized martial arts and light literature, and all princes had to learn to ride and shoot, but after a few generations, riding and archery was more of an interest, and he could shoot arrows and beat rabbits in the royal hunting garden, and the classes were not so strict.

Jiang Hao wanted to call a friend over, and Sun Duwei naturally had no opinion.

He was also curious about whose children were so well-informed, so he knew that the emperor and grandson were in the He Mansion.

As a result, when Lu Zhou came in with a snack, Sun Duwei wondered for a while, who is this child? Why haven't you seen it? Look at this dress, it is exactly the same as ordinary people, and it can be disguised better than the emperor and grandson!

Lu Zhou followed the doorman in, and when he entered the backyard, he saw a small shooting range, Jiang Hao was dressed in a martial arts suit, and everyone was stunned.

Wow!

"Ah Hao, are you learning archery?!" Lu Zhou excitedly ran to the side from under the porch, afraid of disturbing Jiang Hao, and stood far away.

"Hmm!" When the audience came, Jiang Hao put on a posture and swooped an arrow at the target.

The arrow broke through the wind, and although it missed the bull's-eye, it was only a finger away from the heart.

Jiang Hao was a little disappointed, but Lu Zhou cheered: "Wow! Ah Mao, you can go to the mountains to hunt rabbits! ”

"Rabbit hunting?"

"Hmm!"

"I'm going to shoot a deer!"

"The deer are hiding in the mountains, it's too dangerous."

"Really?"

"Hmmm! Or rabbits and pheasants are easy to fight. ”

"Will you?"

"I don't, I only dig traps, but my family has chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep on the mountain, and my brother won't let me catch rabbits and pheasants anymore."

"Your mountain? Pigs, sheep? ”

"Hmmm! And cows! My sister can make milk cakes, which are delicious, but unfortunately it's too far away for you to eat. Saying that, Lu Zhou showed Jiang Hao the dim sum he had specially bought, "I bought dim sum, and we will eat it together when you finish practicing." ”

"Good! Do you want to learn archery, let's learn together! When Jiang Hao heard the milk cake, he was curious, and when he saw the dim sum, he immediately wanted to taste it, but it was still during class time, and he could endure it for a while.

"Can I learn?" Lu Zhou asked.

The two children looked at Captain Sun together.

Sun Duwei: "......"

He thought about it for a while, but he didn't expect that there was a little son in the house who was about the same age as the emperor and grandson, and dared to call the emperor and grandson "Ah Hao".

are all looking at it so expectantly, can this still be refused?

Captain Sun nodded and asked Jiang Hao to practice first, while he tried Lu Zhou's strength and then taught him how to draw a bow.

I don't want this kid to look at Si Swenwen, his hands and feet are very energetic, and he thinks that he usually doesn't exercise less, so he is ready to teach with confidence.

He first let Lu Zhou warm his hands and feet, and then taught him how to draw the bow and how to aim, and when Lu Zhou found some feeling, he taught him how to feel the direction of the wind.

Lu Zhou listened carefully, pursed his lips and put on his bow, aimed for a long time, released the arrow, and hit the bull's-eye.

Jiang Hao on the side was stunned.

Lu Zhou himself was stunned.

Sun Duwei didn't know if he was lucky, or if he had learned, so let him try again.

After a few arrows failed to hit the bull's-eye, but none of them missed the target, Sun Duwei couldn't help nodding, this kid has a bit of talent.

With a playmate, Jiang Hao's competitive spirit also rose, and the two practiced until noon, and they didn't need the help of others after the arrow was shot, so they ran to the target and pulled it off, and then continued to practice.

Sun Duwei controlled the rhythm and didn't let them get too tired once, but the morning passed, and when they ate at noon, their arms were so sore that they couldn't hold chopsticks steadily.

Jiang Hao tasted the dim sum brought by Lu Zhou and commented: "It's not as delicious as your brother's cooking." ”

Lu Zhou: "My brother and I went to see the academy in the morning, and we didn't go home to get the twist flowers. ”

Jiang Hao also knew that Lu Zhou was looking for the academy, and asked, "How is it, have you found it?" Where are you going to read? ”

Lu Zhou's eyes darkened, and he shook his head and said, "They want to be born or show talents." ”

Jiang Hao was stunned.

Lu Zhou smiled again: "But I can take the exam in the fall, Brother Jun Qi said that he went home to teach me, and my brother also said that I should stay in the capital to take the exam." Ah Mao, do you take the test? Let's take the test together. ”

Jiang Hao was embarrassed: "I...... My family can't participate in the imperial examination. ”

Lu Zhou: "Are you a businessman?" ”

Jiang Hao: "......"

It's harder for him.

He told Lu Zhou his uncle's address, which was to imply to him, look, I am related to Taishi He, do you want to guess who I am.

But his friend was so stunned that he didn't even know how to look for the main entrance around Hefu!
