Chapter 2133 Meeting Before Departure

Xu Zhong was a thoughtful girl, and her voice was as gentle as the wind, which made Gu Dexing feel comfortable. He hugged Xu Zhong and said, "I am lucky to marry you."

To be honest, Gu Dexing was also worried that he would not be able to pass the Jinshi examination, simply because he did not expect that he could pass the Jinshi examination so quickly.

How knowledgeable is he? He knows very well that there is no hope of passing the exam this time. He just studies with An Geer, and goes to work in the bank, yamen, and farming with An Geer. When the time is up, he will follow An Ge'er went to the scientific examination together.

How did I know that I passed the exam?

This year's imperial examination seems to attach great importance to practice and students' abilities.

He has done a lot of work and been exposed to a lot of things in the past two years. He knows the work done by people with registered residences such as scholars, peasants, industry, merchants, military, and slaves. He understands various tax matters. He probably benefited from these, so he passed the exam. .

Lu Bai was similar. The articles he wrote were no longer rhetorical and nihilistic, but became more straightforward, sharp and pragmatic. Only in this way could he be considered a scholar.

It's just that Lu Bai's family was in Yujiang County and he couldn't follow An Geer to study with Mr. Ouyang like him, so he didn't pass the exam.

However, Lu Bai said that he would accompany them to the capital to take the exam, see the world, and then take the stories he wrote about fighting against the Japanese to sell in restaurants in the capital, so that the dandies in the capital would know how difficult it is to fight against the Japanese, and ask them to donate more money!

"Brother Xing, brother Xing's daughter-in-law, what are you still doing in the car? You're home. Hurry down and see your father." Mrs. Chen shouted towards the mule carriage of the two of them.

"Hey, here we come." Gu Dexing helped Xu Zhong get out of the car. After visiting Xiao Yue'er, the two of them took their servants home to visit Gu Dafu.

Not long after they returned home, the sound of mule carts running was heard again at the intersection at the end of the village, and someone came back again.

On this day, the end of the village was very lively, and many people had returned, including girls like Qi Kangle who had married outside.

Qi Kangle and Chang Errui came back with their son, and their relationship was still as good as before. The couple often went out together, which was very enviable.

Gu Qingliang and Shang Xiudan are also married. They were born early and now have a son.

It was precisely because of having this son that Mrs. Yan became more and more open-minded. She was not sad that Gu Dalin had gone to the northwest and would not come back. She only spent her old age at home and teased her great-grandson.

"Everyone, don't be polite. Don't be polite. Eat with open stomach!" In the Gu family's house, Ms. Chen greeted several families in a loud voice. Those who didn't know thought it was her family who was treating guests to a banquet.

However, everyone in the family was used to her temper, and no one criticized her. Only her own son joked: "Mom, if you eat with open belly, how can we share the leftovers?!"

Mrs. Chen loves leftovers. In the past, she would watch every dining room among her family members and ask people to eat less, just to have more leftovers so that she could take them home and eat two more meals.

"You are an unfilial son, and you are here to bury your mother again, are you looking for trouble?!" After scolding her son, Mrs. Chen puffed up her chest and said, "I am a wife of a rich family. She is a person who has servants to take care of her. How can she still watch?" Do you want leftovers? Eat them quickly, eat more, don’t leave any leftovers, my family won’t eat any leftovers!”

She said she wouldn't eat, but after eating, she ran to the kitchen to look. When she saw there were leftovers, she took a pottery basin and filled it back. Gu Dagui was so ashamed that he was not willing to go with her.

Today is just a meal for those who came back early, and the real farewell banquet will be the next day.

Gu Jinan was afraid that there would be too many people the next day, and Brother Luo Wu had already sent back the news that Wu Dadong's family had arrived, but they were not allowed to enter the village. Brother Luo Wu and Father Luo did not come back tonight and were in the county town. Host Wu Dadong and bring Xiao Pingxi back tomorrow.

After thinking about it, Gu Jinan didn't eat at home tonight. In the evening, he took a mule cart to the town. He made an excuse and said, "Old Doctor Wu is old. I will stay in the town tonight and pick him up tomorrow." Come and have a feast.”

Haha, Brother Cheng laughed when he heard this excuse, and said to Sister Xiaoyue: "Sister Yue, when you grow up, you want to be an honest girl. You can't imitate your uncle, who is obviously going to see your sweetheart, but finds someone else." Excuse, what's this called? Hypocrisy, yes, it's hypocrisy."

Gu Jinan's face darkened, and he grabbed the riding crop to hit Brother Cheng.

But Brother Cheng had experience in escaping in the past two years. He turned around, hugged Sister Xiaoyue and dodged away: "Haha, I didn't hit him again!"

Sister Xiaoyue thought her uncle was playing in circles with her, so she laughed happily, her little body was jumping up and down, she was so happy.

Seeing that his niece was so happy, Gu Jinan stopped fussing with Brother Cheng and took a mule cart to the town.

When we arrived at Ouyang's house in the town, it was getting dark.

He went to knock on the door. When the Ouyang family saw it was him, they were a little surprised: "It's Gu Dalang. It's almost dark. Why are you here? Come in quickly."

Gu Jinan was brought in by the Ouyang family and met Mr. Ouyang.

When Mr. Ouyang saw him, he was not surprised at all. He just snorted in displeasure: "You are getting bolder and bolder. It's just a matter of waiting a few more months. I can't wait. Do you still want her to go with you to take the exam?" "

Gu Jinan smiled, bowed and apologized: "Sir, I apologize, but I just thought I would have to see you again next year, so I came here to say goodbye, and I ask you to be kind to me."

This is to ask Mr. Ouyang to agree to his meeting Ouyang Ming.

Mr. Ouyang agreed in his heart, but he was also angry in his heart: "You brat, you are getting more and more pushy. If I had known this, I shouldn't have given you the Ouyang family's bodyguard!"

Giving him people from the Ouyang family made this boy understand that he would definitely marry Ming'er, and he became more and more unscrupulous.

But Mr. Ouyang himself was very satisfied with his grandson-in-law. What else could he say, he could only let him see him: "Go and call Miss Three to come and have dinner together."

"Yes." The maid immediately went to do it.

More than a quarter of an hour later, Ouyang Ming came. He even dressed up specially, which made Mr. Ouyang extremely upset. He shouted in his heart: I am not a good girl to stay in college. She is facing Gu Jinan before she is engaged. How can she do it in the future? !

"Hmph!" Mr. Ouyang snorted coldly: "What are you looking at? It's not like I haven't seen it before. Come over and eat quickly. The weather is cold. Standing and watching each other eat will make my food cold and spoil my appetite. Just wait. Just be punished."

"Yes." Gu Jinan and Ouyang Ming agreed, coming over to sit down and eat together.

It's just that when the two of them were eating, their eyes would inevitably meet and they would pick each other a dish or something. Mr. Ouyang was speechless. He put down his chopsticks with a snap and said, "I'll give you three quarters of an hour to talk by yourselves. I'm sorry." Go eat out of the pot, the food on the table is cold and tastes bad."

"Thank you, sir." Gu Jinan stood up and bowed to Mr. Ouyang, and finally promised: "Don't worry, sir, the students will abide by etiquette."

Mr. Ouyang smiled: "You can't defend yourself even if you don't want to. Can you defeat so many guards outside?"

Do you think there is no one in his Ouyang family?

After saying that, he waved his hand, left, and closed the door for them.

Gu Jinan and Ouyang Ming looked at each other and smiled. After a while, they sat down and talked about some things. They talked about trivial and interesting things about their respective families. They didn't say much about other things.

They already knew each other and appreciated each other. After more than two years, their relationship has reached the point where they don't need to make too many promises, just being with each other is enough.
