Chapter 1457: On the list

There is a reason why Jiang Hao wanted to do this scene today. Before, this house was a famous haunted house. When Jiang Hao and the others moved in, even if nothing happened to them, others would be more afraid, which would be detrimental to their future lives.

Doing this ritual can completely eliminate people's fear of this place.

Another reason is to give Zhiqiu a fame. With fame, it is not only because it makes a lot of money, but also more convenient to deal with many problems. For example, if there is a ghost causing trouble, an unknown ritual stands up and points out that others may not believe it, but if it is a famous master, others will believe it.

Finally, it is for the safety of the house, which shows that the owner of this house knows a master of wisdom, and no one dares to come and provoke him at will in the future. For example, if you sell the house, the Ma family, who is resentful, will prepare for the future.

It's a three-killing victory.

The people finally dispersed. Zhiqiu Yiye walked into the yard with a look of lust. Jiang Hao looked at the guy and said, "Don't forget, you can summon Thunder now. If you can't use it, you will be embarrassed. Try to practice."

When Zhiqiu Yiye heard this, the proud expression on his face disappeared instantly, and he felt even more stressed, "I know, I will practice hard."

Jiang Hao was funny in his heart. This was one of the benefits. He could urge Zhiqiu Yiye to practice.

In the movie, Zhiqiu Yiye Ancient Path helps to eliminate the national master, but in the end his soul leaves his body and cannot return, and his soul is scattered, which is a pity.

This time, Jiang Hao didn't want him to die, so he always forced him to practice, so that he could better deal with more troublesome things in the future.

In the future, they all live here, and there are several independent yards left after leaving the backyard, so Zhiqiu Yiye will choose one by himself.

He looked at the old turtle next to him and said, "Do you know the situation in Jinhua Mansion?"

"I understand, the old servant often goes around the city without any trouble, occasionally eat some delicious food, and drink some wine when he is hungry, haha." The old turtle said with a smile.

"There are too few people in this mansion now, and you need a disciple, a chef, a groom, and a maid. You can do whatever you want," Jiang Hao ordered.

After saying that, he waved his hand and a box of silver was added to the ground: "These silver will be given to you, and you will be responsible for the expenses in the house in the future."

"The old servant will do it." The old turtle bowed.

"I'll ask me for it after spending the money."

The old turtle smiled, "Young Master doesn't have to worry about money. In fact, there are a lot of money falling from the wreck of ships outside at the bottom of the Wujiang River. The old servant can also catch some clam beads for money. When I wanted to drink, I would ask the turtle boys and grandchildren to find some. When I have time, I will ask them to go and get more."

Jiang Haoxin said that this time he not only accepted a servant, but also helped to make money, but he made a lot of money.

Jiang Hao nodded, "You can go as you arrange it."

The old turtle held up the box of silver with one hand and went to the backyard. The box of silver was 300 kilograms. Although the old turtle was not strong in fighting, it was really not small.

He looked at Zhu Guang again and ordered: "You go to the courtyard and bring Mr. Zhuge. From now on, we will live here."

"Yes, young master."

Everyone else left, only lychee left. Lichee looked at Jiang Hao, "Young Master, what are I doing?"

"You go and choose a place to sleep at night." Jiang Hao said.

"Okay." Lizhi ran away briskly.

Not long after, Zhu Guang took Zhuge Wolong over. The old man looked at the situation of the house and nodded with satisfaction, "This house is already very luxurious. It is also by the Wu River, with water and gas, which is just suitable for health preservation."

"Then you can write a book here with peace of mind." Jiang Hao said with a smile.

In the evening, the old turtle brought a group of people back, with a total of more than a dozen people, including a gatekeeper, servant, and maid. The old turtle picked a handsome old man Zhuge who served the same job. The rest were all served. That night, dinner was held at the new house, and everyone drank to celebrate moving into the new house.

In the following days, Jiang Hao did not rush to Hangzhou, and kept discussing his new Neo-Confucianism with the old man Zhuge in the villa. The old man absorbed a lot of new ideas and ideas from Jiang Hao, which benefited a lot.

These days, Zhiqiu Yiye has become busy, and people often ask him to do rituals. Master Zhiqiu's name has gradually become famous in Jinhua Mansion.

There was still one month before the examination in the hospital, and Jiang Hao knew that he could not delay any further. He said goodbye to old man Zhuge that day, took Zhu Guang and lychee, and booked a passenger boat, and headed to Hangzhou along the river.

Their ship first came to Lanxi, and yes, they came back, because Jinhua had to pass through Lanxi, which was the intersection of the three rivers. Here, their ship entered Lanjiang from Wujiang and went down the road.

It was already Mayday, and the scenery on both sides of the shore was very beautiful. The distant mountains and close-up scenes were as vast as in a painting.

This waterway is very developed and is constantly sailing along the river. From time to time, you can see ships passing by, and countless people parked on the shore.

Jiang Hao remembered a poem by Li Qingzhao, "Water reaches three thousand miles of the south country, and the air weighs on the fourteen prefectures of Jiangcheng", which refers to the scene of this waterway.

After a few days of sailing, we arrived at the Fuchun River, which converged with Qiandao Lake, and continued to move forward from Fuchun River. After a few more days, Jiang Hao and his friends finally arrived at the provincial capital Hangzhou.

Looking for inns near Gongyuan, I found that many of them were already full. I asked the boss if there was still a place. The boss said that there was still a single courtyard, so what else would you say? Jiang Hao was rich but not afraid of the expensive ones, so he asked for a small courtyard.

Speaking of which, there are many poor scholars, and there are not many scholars who can rent a small courtyard with a silver price of two taels a day. After settled down, Jiang Hao called Zhu Guang.

"You go and ask who is the head of the school and government exam this time, how is the person you are, and whether you are planning to sell fame and fortune. If this person cheats too seriously, we may have to think of some more ways." Jiang Hao said.

"I'll go now." Zhu Guang said and disappeared.

At this time, the gate of the yard rang, and Lizhi went to open the door. The innkeeper came in with a food box and brought the food they wanted. Four dishes and one soup was not rich or simple.

Zhu Guang didn't come back until the second evening and reported to Jiang Haohui respectfully: "Young Master, I've found out clearly."

"explain!"

"This time, the chief academic and political examiner is named Zhou Yucheng. He is a censor. He is said to be a low-key and fair person in charge of his affairs. He is a rare and honest and good official. I went to his mansion to see him in person. The home is very simple. During this period, someone visited Zhou's family, and Zhou Yucheng directly avoided guests." Zhu Guang said.

Jiang Hao nodded, thinking that although the world is full of rituals and music, people's hearts are not completely ruined. There are still wise ministers, honest ministers, and capable ministers in the officialdom. There are still monks like Yan Chixia, Zhiqiu Yiye who are desperate to eliminate demons and eliminate demons. There are still kind-hearted and kind people among the people.

This world is not helpless, it’s just a matter of how to save it.

The next day,

Jiang Hao went to the Gongyuan to register, which was considered a recognition place. After signing up, he went to the inn to meet Lanxi, Feng Fangzhou and others. Everyone had a drink together.

After that, Jiang Hao stayed in his yard to study. Time froze. On that day, Jiang Hao got up early and Zhu Guang sent him to the exam.

When the time came, the Gongyuan began to release people, but the original process was still in the process. Check, get the number, enter the venue, wait for the cloud card to ring and get the test paper, Jiang Hao began to answer seriously.

The college entrance examination was divided into two sessions, the first main examination, two eight-part essays, one policy, one poem, the second overexamination, one eight-part essay, and one poem, and wrote the "Sacred Edicts and Guangxu".

After the first exam is over, you have to wait four days to issue the exam before you pass it. You are eligible to enter the exam. After the exam, you will consider the rankings together by taking the exam.

Jiang Hao's answer was neither too fast nor too slow, his handwriting was written cleanly and beautifully, and the papers had to be fully collected. As for the content, it sometimes depends on the preferences of the examiner. Jiang Hao's examination for scholars was mainly for the convenience of going out in the future, so he was not full of flowers or unrestrained, but instead felt stable.

After he finished answering, he looked at it again and judged it himself, "Well, a scholar is stable."

He has two cases in his arms. As long as he doesn't make big mistakes, the scholar can be said to be sure to win. Without waiting for the exam time, Jiang Hao will hand in the paper directly.

After filling in the name and copying the paper, Jiang Hao stood up and left the examination room.

There are very few candidates who hand in the paper now. In order to save the workload afterwards, the deputy exam took it and read the paper directly. He first reads the words. He is very satisfied with the words written by Jiang Hao. As for the content of the eight-legged essay, he is mature and polite. Is it better or not? In order not to make any mistakes, he criticized the "middle and upper class".

The paper soon arrived in front of the examiner Zhou Yucheng. At this time, he had already approved more than a dozen copies. After Zhou Yucheng finished reading the paper, he thought that this was the best one among these papers, especially his words, he was very satisfied with the scores of the deputy exam. He was indeed a top student. According to past practice, there was absolutely no problem for this candidate to become a scholar.

But his pen stayed on top of the test paper for a long time. Thinking of the court disputes in recent days and the beatings against him, he knew that what he needed now was the word "stability". He looked at the paper again and finally approved the "upper" on the paper.

A few days later,

On the first day of the college entrance examination, there were crowds of people outside the court.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang are major provinces for imperial examinations. There are no less than three or four thousand candidates participating in the college entrance examination every year. With their family and servants, there are also people watching the fun, and even vendors selling things, making it look like a big market outside the court.

According to the annual admission ratio, the number of candidates who can be admitted by these three or four thousand candidates is no more than three hundred, less than one ten, and most people are destined to lament that this time, Jiang Hao did not come at all, but sent Zhu Guang over.

After reading it, Zhu Guang went back to report, "Young Master, your name is on the list."

Jiang Hao nodded. He had already guessed, "Since you have a name, I will go to another exam tomorrow and get the reputation of a scholar. We can travel around the world."

The provincial examination will be held once every three years, and they will be taken in the provincial capital. Therefore, the order is two years of college entrance examination and one year of provincial examination. If there is an college entrance examination this year, there will be no provincial examination. Jiang Hao calculated that there will be an college entrance examination last year. The provincial examination will have to wait until mid-August next year, and there will be more than a year left.

In a year, Jiang Hao would never be able to stay at home to study. He had already thought about traveling around to see if he could have the opportunity to enter the immortal sect and systematically learn Taoist immortal arts.

The next day.

Jiang Hao got up to participate in the exam, but the original model was still the same, but this time the number of people participating was much smaller, and less than 600 people were able to enter the exam, and these people would probably have to be replaced by half.

Think about how difficult the imperial examination is, a little scholar has to go through so many disasters, but a scholar is just the first step in the rally in the imperial examination.

The eight-part essay and a poem were tested in the exam, and the writing of "The Holy Edict Guangxun" was written in the verbal essay. Jiang Hao still pursued a stable word. The poems could not help Jiang Hao, but they wrote more spirituality. As for the writing of "The Holy Edict Guangxun", it was the simplest for Jiang Hao who never remembered it.

After finishing the test, it was still a long time. Jiang Hao read it again himself, thinking that this time he was steadily, hand it over and go home, and wait for it to be on the list.
