After seeing off Ning Caichen, Jiang Hao was about to take the old man Zhuge back to Jinhua, so he hired another carriage. The coachman rushed to the road. As for lychees, they never appeared in front of Zhuge Wolong.

The carriage creaked, Jiang Hao and Zhuge Wolong chatted in the carriage.

"Aren't you waiting for your servant?"

"No, he will come back by himself, and I told him to settle Brother Ning before he can come back, I'm afraid it will take a few days to delay."

"Where are we going?"

"Jinhua Mansion, I want to take this year's government examination, and the exam will start in less than a month."

Old Man Zhuge nodded, "It's March and a half months now. The April government exam is indeed about to start. What are the results of your county exam?"

"The first county case."

"Buy it with money?"

Jiang Hao rolled his eyes and said, "Do we still need to spend money? We forced the county magistrate to give it to you."

"I was admitted by my ability." Jiang Hao said.

Old man Zhuge became interested, "Then I will test you to see how talented you have and how far you can go on the road to imperial examinations."

"please!"

Old Man Zhuge was a serious top student, and he had the ability to remember everything he had. He was well-versed in the past and the present. Later, he worked in the Hanlin Academy. He didn't know how many books he read. He later served as an official for many years and even worked as an examiner for the provincial examination. He was very familiar with the path of the imperial examination.

Old Man Zhuge first gave a few test questions for the government office. After all, according to convention, as long as there is no major accident, there will always be a scholar in the head of Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao answered one by one, and the old man nodded when he heard it.

"Yes, your case is well deserved. If nothing unexpected happens, the results of the government examination institute will not be too bad. Then I will test your provincial examination questions again."

Then old man Zhuge started to give the provincial examination questions again. Jiang Hao answered the provincial examination questions very well. The old man did not stop and the exam became deeper and deeper. In the end, even the imperial examination and palace examination questions were found.

Jiang Hao was not afraid, and he answered them all in a smooth manner. Even some advanced eight-legged essays can be broken in just a few breaths. Moreover, they are rigorous and profound in terms of topics, and the content is thought-provoking, but they are not abrupt and aggressive.

After chatting for more than two hours, the old man Zhuge stopped when he was tired and looked at Jiang Hao and said, "By your talent, as long as the examiner is not blind or has received too much money from others, even if you are a Jinshi, it will be fine."

After talking about the imperial examinations, the two talked about the current officialdom again. Old Zhuge sighed, "Although I have been away from the officialdom for more than ten years and the emperor has changed, from others, I also know some things about the current court. The court is even worse than when I was in the court that day. It may be flattering, or corpse and corruption, or slandering people, and treacherous officials are in power. This court has become extremely decayed."

Jiang Hao thought of the convicted Shangshu Fu Tianchou in the movie and said, "It may be possible that there are loyal ministers in the court."

"Haha, loyal ministers, I have almost been harmed." Zhuge Wolong said with a cold snorting.

After saying this, Old Zhuge looked at Jiang Hao and said, "If you are interested in the imperial examination, you may enter the officialdom in the future. I feel that you will not be with those corrupt officials. And with your thoughts, those people will not easily fight you. I really don't know what kind of scene you will enter the officialdom. I am really looking forward to it."

"Oh, why did sir say that?" Jiang Hao said curiously.

Although Zhuge Wolong's eyes were turbid, a ray of wisdom flashed by, and he smiled and said, "Because you give me the feeling that you are both upright and cunning, with a smart head, and a ruthlessness in your bones."

Jiang Haoxin said that this old man is really accurate in judging people.

Although I don’t have a deep understanding of the intrigue officialdom, I have experienced many things, seen many big scenes, and handled more ways to do things. I can often consider problems from a higher perspective. I can’t beat big plots in the end. Of course, this requires people who use plots to have the wisdom, knowledge and power far beyond the conspirators.

In the evening, the carriage entered Jinhua City and soon came to the yard where Jiang Hao rented it. When he heard the sound, Zhiqiu Yiye ran out immediately. Seeing Jiang Hao bringing back an old man, he was a little surprised. Jiang Hao only introduced to him that this was Mr. Zhuge, a teacher he invited to teach him the imperial examination.

As for Zhiqiu Yiye, Jiang Hao did not hide it from Zhuge Wolong and told him that he was a monk from Kunlun Mountain and knew some magic. Zhuge Wolong was very surprised and looked at Jiang Hao and said, "I didn't expect you to have a lot of things to do."

"Isn't it too good to suppress my body?" Jiang Hao said with a smile.

This sentence is almost Jiang Hao's motto now.

Zhuge Wolong was arranged to stay in the guest room. During the meal, Zhuge Wolong saw lychee and praised the girl for being so beautiful, so he didn't care too much. The young man was romantic and it was very normal to have one or two beautiful maids around him.

Zhu Guang came back two days later and told Jiang Hao that Ning Caichen had settled down. He was very grateful to him. Jiang Hao felt that he had let go of a big thing. No matter what, the brother of this world would not have to go through many hardships.

After Zhuge Wolong settled down, he asked for pen, ink, paper and inkstone from Jiang Hao. From then on, he lived in simplicity and spent most of his time writing books in the room. Sometimes he didn't walk two steps in the yard a day, and sometimes he sat under the tree to drink tea for a day, and talked to Jiang Hao about the past and the present.

Through communication, Jiang Hao found that this old man was really knowledgeable and deserved to be called Dr. Tongtian.

Seeing that the prefecture test was about to happen, Jiang Hao specially sent Zhu Guang to investigate the prefecture in order to avoid the situation like the county test. If the prefecture was like the county magistrate Wang and had already marked the price in advance according to the rankings, then some methods would have to be used.

However, Zhu Guang came back to report and said that although the prefect was greedy for money, he only looked for profit from merchants. Many shops in Jinhuafu City were his property, and he did not plan to sell the imperial examinations.

Jiang Hao has no objection to the way of making money by the prefect, and it is much better than making money directly.

Since that's the case, the rest depends on your ability.

During this period, Jiang Hao bought a lot of books from the bookstore. No matter what, reading more is better than reading less. Wisdom is as broad as the sea of ​​knowledge. The more you learn, the more your wisdom is, the more fulfilling your wisdom is. In fact, this is also a kind of tempering to the soul and mind.

It is said that scholars have righteous spirit. If scholars do not practice qi, where does the qi come from? It is a kind of aura that uses knowledge to increase wisdom to temper the soul and thus cultivate.

In a blink of an eye, the mansion test came.

That day, Jiang Hao got up early. It was still dark outside. Lizhi helped him dress and clean up. When he walked out of the room, he found that everyone else had also gotten up and everyone was with him for breakfast.

Old man Zhuge drank porridge and said, "You don't have to be nervous. With your talent, it's easy to try a small mansion."

"I'm not nervous." Jiang Hao said with a smile.

"Hahaha, that's right." Old man Zhuge said with a smile.

Zhiqiu Yiye curled his lips, "According to me, isn't it good to concentrate on practicing with Brother Jiang's cultivation? Isn't it great to become a land god in the future, and to kill demons and eliminate demons and travel around the world?"

Old man Zhuge glared at Zhiqiu Yiye with anger, "What do you, a Taoist priest, know? The imperial examination is the right way."

"So what if you pass the exam? Enter the officialdom, then be framed like you, and finally thrown into prison. At that time, you will not escape by relying on the Taoist Dharma." Zhiqiu Yiye said.

"You~ You can't teach me!" Old man Zhuge's beard was trembling with anger.

These days, Old Zhuge and Zhiqiu Yiye have been getting along well. They often chatted and gradually became friends. However, they were both quarrels and they would start to quarrel because of a word. But they would make up in two days and chatted together again. Jiang Hao was no longer surprised.

Zhu Guang drove Jiang Hao to the examination room in a carriage. When he arrived at the examination room, thousands of candidates had gathered. It was a customary thing to line up to come to the venue for inspection. This time, without the care of the yamen runners, Jiang Hao's food box was turned into a mess.

Anyway, these are all for check-ups, so he doesn't care.

When checking his body, he did not ask Jiang Hao to take off all his clothes. He just took off his shoes, hat, loosened his hair, untied his clothes and groped up and down to see if there were any entrainments.

There are too many people in the palace to choose a place. It depends on luck. Jiang Hao has always had good luck. The exam room he was assigned to was dry and ventilated, which was the best room.

There are different county exams in the college entrance examinations, strictly speaking, there are only two games. The first one is the main exam and the second one is the additional one. If you are admitted to the first game, you don’t have to take the second exam and just wait for the final ranking.

After Jiang Hao sat down, the cloud card rang shortly after a while, and the yamen runners began to deliver the book. Jiang Hao opened it and looked at it. There were eight papers in total, four books and five classics, dictation and interpretation. The final focus was on an eight-part essay. Jiang Hao had read all the topics and was completely clear.

He was not in a hurry and answered slowly. His handwriting was neat and orderly, elegant and moderate. This was a test paper, a calligraphy article, and the last eight-legged essay ended perfectly.

At this time, I looked up and saw that it was noon. Jiang Hao took out two dishes from the space, a plate of braised spring bamboo shoots, and a pumpkin cup of Eight Treasure Rice. These are all specialties from the Babaolou of Jinhuafu, and Jiang Hao ate them with relish.

He has always been a greedy guy. He can endure hardships or even endure hunger. He will never treat himself badly when he enjoys it. These things were ordered by Jiang Hao in Babaolou. He ordered two tables of food at all, all of which were specialty dishes, and then put them in the space for later use. Now the dishes stored in his space can be placed on ten or eight tables.

When the two yamen runners turned to Jiang Hao's side, they were a little stunned when they saw the dishes Jiang Hao had eaten. They had never seen candidates eat such food in the examination room.

Jiang Hao really wants to tell them that it’s so strange that there are people who eat hot pot in the exam room, you have never seen them.

At dusk, people started handing in the papers one after another. Before Jiang Hao could wait until the end, he checked his name and filled it out. He called the yamen runners to seal the papers. Jiang Hao packed up his things and walked out of the examination room.

As soon as Jiang Hao came out, a woman in a very beautiful pink shirt jumped off from a carriage, combed her pretty maid's head, and trotted to Jiang Hao. While she was running, she could see the ups and downs.

The candidates and servants around him were all straight when they saw this scene. Some people couldn't help swallowing their saliva, thinking that they were such a beautiful maid, and they were so envious of which young man's bed warmer.

"Young master, how are you doing the exam?" Lizhi ran to Jiang Hao and asked.

Jiang Hao smiled, "Of course there is no problem, go, go home."

"Young Master, I'm here to get the food box."

Lizhi said as she took the box in Jiang Hao's hand. The others felt that this person was too hateful when they saw the scholar telling such a woman to take things.

If you don’t cherish it and give it to us, we will definitely cherish it and not let her do rough and tiring work. It is enough to just serve her well.

When he got home, the old man Zhuge asked how he answered. Jiang Hao smiled and said that he was confident. The old man nodded and stopped asking.

He has confidence in Jiang Hao, and as long as there is no major mistake, it will be fine.

Two days later, Jiang Hao went to see the release of the results. His name was on the admission list, but this time he did not get any results.

The next day, the imperial examination was added and continued the exam. Jiang Hao did not go. Two days later, the list was finally released. There were two or three thousand people standing outside the Gongyuan. When the red list opened, the first person's name was the word "Jiang Hao".

Moreover, these two words are larger than the names of the people behind, so I can see them very clearly. When Lizhi, who was following next to me, was surprised to hear Jiang Hao's name, "Young Master, you are the number one, you are the leader of this case."

The girl hugged Jiang Hao's arms and kept jumping, wrapping her arms tightly in fullness. Her fairness appeared and faintly appeared, attracting countless people to look sideways.
