Faced with Xu Hao's request, Yan Gui looked at the students around him who were in high spirits, then looked at the slightly unrecognizable Ma Yu, who was depressed and from Jiangbei.

In today's scientific research, the standard for obtaining scholars is six in the south and four in the north. In addition to students from northern China protesting for years and even sitting in the Meridian Gate, Zhu Gaochi, who is based in Peking, must also value northerners. The monopoly of southern literati on the officialdom is indeed a major disadvantage. A scandal of collusion between officials will break out in a few years, and many knowledgeable officials are also very supportive of this.

In history, Yongle moved the capital inadvertently improved this problem because many southern gentry became northerners, which is now unpredictable. It can be expected that the gap between the north and the south will continue, which is also very common. The villages across the river still look down on each other.

So far, there has been no top scholar in the north, and it is even rarer in the third grade. This is also one of the basis for the Southern Scholars to mock the Northern Scholars.

If the child in front of him can remain diligent, with his previous level, he will have a chance to reach the top scorer in the future. Yan Gui, who is over 70 years old, does not have a narrow regional thinking, and even looks forward to the talented people from the north standing out in the future.

Yan Gui said kindly: "Winter is about to begin soon, and autumn is gone, um! You write a poem about the four rhymes of sycamore trees and leaves falling, limiting autumn, staying, traveling, and sorrow."

On the other hand, Song State didn't bother with the beauty princess. In order to save face, he immediately picked up his pen and prepared to fight again, and smiled and said, "I'll compete with this friend again."

Suddenly he was stunned. The sequel was clearly a change to the poem. The brush was stagnant in the air. Just as he was about to ask clearly, Ma Yu, who was holding his breath, had finished it, and Mu Qingshuang had already come out right.

At the same time, Xu Hao, a beautiful woman with bright eyes and zirconia teeth, and a young boy, all made very difficult questions, which aroused everyone's applause.

All things are peaceful in summer. The heart of Wuwu feels autumn alone.

I still dared not fly, and it was difficult to stay if I didn't go down.

The jade stairs are suddenly reduced, and the golden energy travels.

Just as in the midst of decline, one person is sad first.

Yan Gui praised loudly: "When doing well, not only is it very agile, but it has the legacy of "three hundred" in conception. This child is a prodigy, and I am willing to give him a disadvantage."

"Mr. Yan, you are polite." Xu Hao smiled, naturally knowing what was going on, but Ma Yu's song is really talented, and with his age, it is rare!

Xia Zhong and Song were a little dejected. With their talents, it was impossible to do it in a short time. If they continue to be entangled, they will most likely bring shame on themselves, and their knowledge will not be fake.

On the other side, the first sentence: swallows come and go, and the geese are happy to meet the Spring and Autumn on the way; the second sentence of Mu Qingshuang is correct: rabbits fly away, and blacks fly overseas are happy to review the Yuedan. The right work is neat and impeccable.

Before the Song Dynasty could come back to its senses, Xu Hao had already taken his men away and left a beautiful conversation at the Imperial College of Fengtai Mountain.

I thought that the Song Kingdom was over thirty and had not yet gotten married. I was thinking about composeing a song with the talented woman of Hongwen. But the beauty didn't even look at him, and she was hit hard for a moment.

In fact, if you want to use real talent and real learning, Mu Qingshuang and Ma Yu are not his opponents at all, but this is how they write poetry and essays. Talent is often more useful than hard learning, and the Song Dynasty lacks a little talent.

I returned to my residence in a daze. A temple located in the city, sitting in an empty room and sighing frequently. I missed the opportunity. I probably missed it forever. How could I have an intersection with the princess of a dignified country?

He is from Shanxi and has a good personal relationship with Hu Guang, the minister of the cabinet who is also from Shanxi. He was also shocked by Hu Shuxuan when he saw him. He deliberately joined the Yuhua Poetry Society. Unfortunately, Xie Jin's family is good, and even if he is not good, he will not have any chance.

The Song Dynasty was very ordinary. In the past few years, I have been trying to be a son-in-law of the wealthy family, because for all students, the imperial examinations are really difficult to ascend to heaven.

At this time, matchmaker Sun came across the street and said, "I found a stunning woman from Liuxiang and was well-written. If Mr. Song is willing to pay 300 taels of money, he will write it to you in person."

It turned out that Hu Guang wanted to buy a pretty maid for himself to relieve his boredom. First, he had to be good-looking and read-literate. Otherwise, it would be like chewing wax. He accidentally found matchmaker Sun, not to judge the amount of price.

It seems that it is willing to offer a high price, but in fact, the Song State does not have that much money, otherwise it would be a handful of people on the Qinhuai River.

When he heard that three hundred taels of silver was a little painful, Song Guo said ruthlessly: "I'm not worth much, I'll go with you now."

The two went to a family together, and matchmaker Sun brought out a woman, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old and was in an ordinary state of beauty.

When I saw the gift in the yard, I sat opposite the State of Song. The table was covered with pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Matchmaker Sun helped grind the ink, "Write a poem for Mr. Song to see."

The girl took the brush and said, "There is no place to write, and it's not the same for a long time. Matchmaker Sun urged: "My husband is not an outsider, don't be shy, just write."

The woman was forced to write and wrote it for a while. After writing for a while, she wrote the four words "The clouds are calm and the wind is light". Matchmaker Sun was worried that Song State was not satisfied, and said, "Write a few more words with your heart to believe that you are the real talent."

The woman had to reluctantly write the three words "Near Noon Sky" again, and she refused to write them again. Song State smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

Matchmaker Sun said: "Don't take it lightly, as there are very few women who write in person like this in Jinling."

Song Guo smiled and said, "Sure enough, indeed." He stood up and gave him fifty cents, leaving without looking back.

After that, there were many matchmakers from all walks of life. One of them was able to write poems. It was said that he wanted to pay 500 taels for the price, so he coaxed the Song Kingdom to see him, but he just remembered a few Tang poems.

On this day, Hu Guang sent someone to invite him to a party. When he arrived at Hu's mansion, he saw an old man carrying a young man in a gorgeous costume.

Hu Guang, dressed in casual clothes, introduced: "This is my senior, Mr. Fu, Mr. Xu Jiang, the son-in-law of Mr. Fu, and the sixth son of the Duke's Mansion in the UK. As the autumn examination is approaching, I want to ask Mr. Song to teach you one or two."

It turned out to be the sixth young master of the Xu family? The surprise Song Guo hurriedly gave a deep gift and agreed. Mr. Fu was very happy and left his son-in-law with politeness. In fact, the ink in Xu Jiang's belly was probably similar to that of Tang Fugui. He had already returned the things he learned over the years to the teacher. Mr. Fu's intention was nothing more than to let him walk around with famous scholars to make his reputation famous.

The rich man was scheming and thought that even if his friends dared to show off their own favor and cheated on him and sent his son-in-law to the Golden Palace, a fool might be exposed one day. It doesn't matter if he is, but he has implicated everyone.

He thought about it and simply found an opportunity to go directly to ask the emperor. Sure enough, when Zhu Gaochi heard that it was Xu Hao's younger brother who wanted to be an official. As a rich man, he had no descendants. He could recommend his son-in-law as an official. With the face of the Xu family, it was really not too easy to be an official.

The reason why he spoke was simply to seek a serious Jinshi. Zhu Gaochi resigned from Xu Hao and immediately appointed the last place in the imperial examination in advance. It was also considered that the emperor opened the back door with his own hands.

Hu Guang knew the inside story. He was the deputy examiner of this imperial examination, so please ask the Song State, who has a good personal relationship with him, and a few hints will be given to the Song State immediately.

I made an appointment to take Xu Jiang to Yuhua Poetry Club tomorrow. The State of Song came out with great emotion. Sure enough, reincarnation is more important than anything else. I thought I had been in a hard work for twenty years, and I was still a juren at the age of 36. If I failed to pass the Jinshi this time, I would be thirty-nine in three years, and I would not even have a wife, son, or daughter.

What comforted him was that Mr. Fu was generous and gave him three hundred taels of time. The next day, he simply did not take Xu Jiang to Yuhua Poetry Club. He specialized in Xiaojia Village to play the autumn wind in several counties. He was already famous, and with the golden sign Xu Jiang, he promoted himself as a talented man.

First, many of Xu Hao's subordinates rushed to invite him. Some even came to worship him in person. Gradually, the rich gentry and the scholars and the people in the forest all came to seek alliances with him.

When Song State was successful, he became very energetic and believed that it was Sima Xiangru alive; Xu Jiang was also proud. He also compared himself to his talented man, and the two of them became close friends. After a round, each of them earned at least hundreds of taels of silver.

On September 15, the court opened the autumn examination, and the two of them then brought bamboo baskets and other things to the examination room for three days.

Xu Jiang and Xu Hu were all taking exams, which made the Xu family very nervous, especially the old lady and the third master and his wife, feudal superstitious activities such as burning incense and praying, which made them one after another, and were full of passion, and Xu Hao could do nothing.

He was very worried that Xu Hu and Xu Jiang would be decided by the government, so it is very likely that he would not be selected in the end, otherwise the two Xu family members would be able to make a name for themselves at the same time, which would easily lead to material discussions.

In view of this, he personally told Zhu Gaochi that he would change Xu Jiang to Enmeng as an official, and avoid the embarrassment of being exposed in the future. Now it depends on Xu Hu's performance on the spot.

In the study, the second sister Xu Cuitao sat aside angrily. The eldest sister Xu Qinglian shook her head from time to time. Xu Hao asked carefully: "Second sister, what happened? Could it be that the second brother-in-law had an affair?"

"What are you talking nonsense?" Xu Cuitao glanced blankly and sighed: "It's his brother."

Xu Hao smiled and said, "Li Fang! It's normal for him to be a woman, but it's strange to quit sex."

Xu Cuitao smiled bitterly and said, "What do you know? There are rumors that my sister-in-law's bones and blood are from Hu Dan, and the son born to Hu Dan's wife Hongmei is his. Many servants are convinced, but the eldest brother is kept in the dark."

Xu Hao was surprised and asked, "Tell me to my aunt?"

"No." Xu Cuitao smiled bitterly, "How dare I talk nonsense about this kind of thing? If my mother-in-law knows this, she will not be angry to death."

Xu Hao frowned and said, "But is there any evidence?"

Xu Cuitao sneered: "Hongmei gave birth to a son only five months after marrying the servant. Is there any need for evidence?"

At this time, Xu Qinglian also said, "I didn't believe it before, it was too horrible. I looked at the two children after the mansion. Even though they were still young, Sister Li's child had beautiful facial features and extremely handsomeness, while Hongmei's child had thick eyebrows and big eyes."

Xu Hao understood as soon as he heard this, Li Fang was not very good-looking, and there were not many handsome men in the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty. Most of them came from the countryside of Fengyang. How could they look good? Of course, they didn’t say that they were thick and heroic, but they never had to do with the beautiful man with fine skin and tender flesh.

Anyway, Li Fang looks very average, so the book boy Hu Dan wants to be charming in the future, and he has seen Gou and Hongmei, and he is a beauty.

After thinking about it, Xu Hao said, "It may not be possible that the child will follow his mother."

"It doesn't matter who you want, can you still expose it?" Xu Cuitao looked disgusted, "It's not just this. Last year he bought a concubine. It is said that he has excellent skills on the pillow mat and is extremely beloved. He doesn't want to buy it back in less than seven months, and he actually gave birth to a daughter. He really insulted the ancestors of the Li family. I really want to drive him out of the Li family and be clear about the source."

"What a buyer." Xu Hao said secretly, "Seven months are not impossible."

Xu Cuitao said angrily: "Third brother, who are you talking to? Let me tell you the truth. That concubine has a nickname called Hou-Tingxiang. She likes to mix seaweed and black fungus with many spices every day, fill it into the back door, and rinse the intestines with a water gun. That stage is fragrant and very popular with shameless men. Li Fang bought her to provide her with fun in the back door.

Once he got drunk and accidentally said that I had always been driving by land and never came to the water gate. Why did I have a daughter? But I used words to cover up my words and said that it was a failure. There were more women who gave birth to children in seven months and could not raise them for eight months."

Xu Hao secretly admired Li Fang's mind. He stood and spoke without ache. "What can I do now? Even if it is not the Li family's blood, they are two innocent lives. Anyway, you and your brother-in-law have already set up their own business, and it is not good for anyone to spread it."

Xu Cuitao sighed and said, "That's not it! He has been so bad for eight lifetimes when he has become a relative. Third brother, can you?"
