Chapter 989

The sixth day of the seventh lunar month is the day when the martial arts exam begins, which lasts for seven days.

Examination of swordsmanship, guns, martial arts, archery, horsemanship and basic knowledge respectively. The first two exams take two days each, and the last two exams take one day each.

It is expected that 66 Wu Jinshi will be selected, and they will also be ranked first, second and third.

The martial arts exam, which had been suspended since the late emperor's later years, has been re-opened, which has long attracted the attention of countless people, especially those who have no luck with studying and feel that they have a lot of strength. They all feel that this is a great opportunity to stand out!

Because this martial arts examination is not like the imperial examination, you must first pass the examination for talents, and then go to the juren and jinshi. Instead, they go through a simple screening in the provincial capital city - routine background, physical examination and inspection. For a simple martial arts exam, those who pass will go directly to Beijing to participate.

Or participate in the screening directly in Beijing.

Therefore, from before the Longevity Festival to the present, the number of people in this capital has only increased but not decreased!

All the inns were overcrowded, and the restaurants and bars were full.

There were not enough patrol officers from the Shuntian Mansion and the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion, and the local yamen could not be recruited, so they had to recruit staff from the other yamen from the six departments.

In the evening, the curfew is very strict.

You must know that the martial arts exam is about to start, and there are many more people in the world and hot-blooded men in this capital!

In case of any major disaster, it is not a good luck, the emperor will definitely be unhappy.

The emperor was unhappy, and no one below would have a better life.

By the end of June, no one in the capital would not discuss the matter.

Even Fangzhou could open his mouth to say a few words about the matter.

Both Lian Ze and Li Yunhan participated, but Lian Fangzhou didn't worry about them. Li Fu had taught for so long, and if he couldn't even earn a place, he would be learning for nothing.

Anyway, there is no competition for the first place, there is no pressure.

But, just thinking about it, this is a huge excitement!

Entering the bedroom that night, Lian Fangzhou took the initiative to hug her husband's waist and put it in his arms, softly smiling and calling out, "Husband!"

Li Fu's eyes suddenly lit up, it is a fool not to take advantage of it!

Immediately without hesitation, he held her back with even more force, lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek, and said with a smile, "Huh? Is there something?"

"No..." Lian Fangzhou felt a little guilty, and said in his heart: Can we not be so direct? I'm too embarrassed to say it!

Li Fu didn't have any doubts at all, he smiled, and walked to the bed with her: "If there is nothing else, let's settle it early!"

Lian Fangzhou wailed in his heart.

Forget it, let's coax him and talk about it!

After a lot of lingering, Li Fu was very satisfied, and contentedly took the person into his arms, and said with a smile: "Is it really okay?"

"Huh?" Lian Fangzhou was a little dumbfounded and didn't react for a while.

When he woke up, he felt a burst of joy in his heart, smiled a little to please, and juju: "There are still three days before the martial arts!"

"Don't worry," Li Fu felt that he had made a lot of money. The little lady was extra soft and cooperative tonight, so it was for this! Then he smiled generously and said, "Although I won't be selfish, I will take good care of Aze, and I won't let people bully him!"

Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "Well, it's natural, you are his brother-in-law!"

"It's good to know!" Li Fu kneaded her soft waist irregularly in his hands, and said with a smile: "Aze and Yunhan are both very good, you just wait for the good news!"

I didn't mean that!

Lian Fangzhou wailed in his heart, and simply turned his face to face him, and said, "Ajian, I also want to watch the fun!"

Li Fu was startled and said, "What?"

Lian Fangzhou begged: "You are the general and the Marquis of Weining. It shouldn't be difficult to use some connections to arrange for someone to enter the arena to watch! Ah Jian, please answer me! This kind of liveliness is rare on weekdays! And , I want to see with my own eyes how A Ze and Yun Han performed in the exam room!"

Only then did Li Fu make sure that he had heard it right before, and he couldn't help laughing and laughing, and said, "Naughty, is this a place you can go to, if anyone knows, the emperor will read the previous book in front of me, but I can't tell the difference in a single sentence. !"

Lian Fangzhou was immediately displeased and resentful.

Li Fu had never refuted her meaning, and he felt a little soft-hearted when he saw this, so he sighed lowly, hugged her and kissed her on her cheeks, nose, eyebrows, lips softly, and said softly: "Okay. Madam, don't be annoyed that I was in a hurry just now! It's really not possible to go. If I could, why wouldn't I take you there!"

Lian Fangzhou sighed in his heart: Women really can't be spoiled! She is a living example. Although the tone of Li Fu's words was not wrong, she was really upset.

Hearing him turn around and say this again, I felt a little better in my heart.

But he couldn't help but still begged: "Good husband, you should answer me! When everyone is staring at the field, no one will pay attention to me! Otherwise, I will pretend to be your personal soldier, and you will lead Luo Go to a few confidants who know me, and they will help cover up one or two things, okay! If you tell me to take a look, I will really be overjoyed!"

That kind of intense scene, just thinking about it makes people's blood boil, she really wants to see it!

Li Fu was finally entangled by her, so he had to agree. He added: "You first mix with a personal soldier and let me have a look. If there is no flaw, I will show you a show! If anyone sees the clue, I will tell you to go and you must not hesitate."

Lian Fangzhou was immediately overjoyed, thinking that if I went in, I wouldn't let people see the clues, and besides, who would come to see me if I didn't watch the excitement! He nodded in response.

Lian Fangzhou was excited, how could he fall asleep in a while? Then he pestered Li Fu to ask East and West.

When it comes to the professions he is proficient in, Li Fu is of course very authoritative.

Lian Fangzhou suddenly smiled and said: "By the way, what do you test for knowledge? Is it the military strategy?"

Li Fu laughed and sighed: "How can it be so profound! It's just a test of thousands of characters and a hundred family names! Naturally, there is also a paper in the history of the art of war and strategy, and there are several questions. You can do the best, but you can't. important!"

"..." Lian Fangzhou was quite stunned. Are the requirements for culture classes so low!

Thousands of characters, hundreds of family names, you really only need to know a few words! People who take the exam for scholars still need to read the Analects of Confucius and Mencius!

This is not even a talent.

Lian Fangzhou couldn't help but silently said in his heart, "No wonder those censors, academicians, Hanlins, etc. don't deal with you. People who have read countless books desperately, and an official from the same dynasty who started their business with a hundred family names, feel in my heart. Strange to balance!

Seeing Lian Fangzhou's expression, Li Fu laughed even more, and said, "What kind of expression do you have, and you are not a scholar, so what do you need such a good knowledge for? Military generals are not obtained through examinations, but through experience! All you need is good martial arts skills. , know a few words, and when you enter the barracks, you will naturally be taught at the peak, and sooner or later you will be able to understand the art of war."

Lian Fangzhou blurted out, "Are you—well, a scholar?"
