Chapter 836 County Examination

Seeing her relaxed smile, Gu Jinan asked, "Did things go smoothly?"

Gu Jinli nodded and told the tragic story of the old Gu family.

When Gu Jinan heard that Mrs. Gu and Gu Youwen were paralyzed, and that Gu Chengxian and Gu Youlu had their reputations ruined, he felt relaxed: "The most difficult one in the old Gu family is Mrs. Gu, the most promising ones are Gu Youwen and his son, and the most clever ones are Gu Youlu, now that they are dead, the old Gu family has nothing to fear."

Especially Gu Youwen, if he hadn't been paralyzed, things would have been bad when he went to Fucheng to take the imperial examination.

The Fu Xue Jiao Yu will look at the candidates' papers. If they see his name, can Gu Youwen let him pass?

Gu Jinli also thought of this and was the first to attack Gu Youwen.

Gu Jinan told them about family affairs: "Originally, I wanted to teach Brother Luo Wu a lesson, but I was afraid that the old Gu family would take advantage of my eldest sister. After you went to Fucheng, the family relaxed. Now. The marriage between the eldest sister and Brother Luo Wu has been decided and she has received the appointment letter from the Yamen."

Gu Jinli was confused: "I'll just go out and my eldest sister will belong to someone else's family?"

Gu Jinan smiled and said: "This will happen sooner or later, and I just got the letter of engagement first. The other etiquette will be completed later, so I won't wrong my eldest sister."

It has to be said that Gu Jinan's move was very foresighted, and because the Zhan family still refused to give up, his move could save him from a future disaster.

Looking at Gu Jinli again, he suddenly realized that Xiaoyu was no worse in appearance than the eldest sister, and was even more agile. It was very likely that the people in the old Gu family would make articles about her marriage.

However, Gu Jinan thought of Gu Jinli's fierceness and looked at Qin Sanlang next to her.

Well, this one is not only fierce, but also an evil spirit. He will never let the old Gu family touch Xiaoyu. After all, he has been watching Xiaoyu for several years and is waiting to marry him when he grows up. How can he let other people make decisions.

Seeing Gu Jinan looking at her and then at Qin Sanlang, Gu Jinli looked like he was singing a big show and had rotated many parts, so he couldn't help but ask: "Brother, what do you think we are doing?"

Gu Jinan smiled but did not answer, and said: "Pack it up, let's go home. The whole family will have dinner together tonight to practice it for us."

The scientific examination is a big event, and several families take it very seriously. They prepare things and send them to the examination days in advance.

"Yeah." Gu Jinli responded. After going to Zhuangzi to get two hams, he picked up Mr. Qin, who was blacksmithing in Zhuangzi, and the group returned home.

You An, Er Qing and others did not follow them back to the village, but stayed in Zhuangzi.

Gu Jinan saw them and didn't ask any questions. He knew that they were Qin Sanlang's people and they would not harm Xiaoyu.

…

After Gu Jinli returned home, she was not lectured by the third grandma because Gu Jinan helped her cover it up very well and asked Zezi to send news to her family every two days. He said that he had gone to Zhuangzi to see Xiaoyu and that she was doing well in Zhuangzi. He reassured them that she was just too busy and would not be able to come back until February 14th.

The third grandma was still very distressed after hearing this. Cui made chicken soup several times and asked Zezi to give it to Gu Jinli.

"Mom, I brought two hams back. Our family will eat ham tonight." She took out the ham and gave it to Cui.

Ms. Cui knew that ham was expensive, so she was reluctant to eat so much: "One piece is enough. Leave the remaining one for us to eat after the ranking is released."

Mrs. Chen had already come to Gu's house to help prepare dinner. She drooled at the ham after hearing this, and urged Ms. Cui: "Sister-in-law Dashan, Xiaoyu wants to boost the morale of Brother An and the others. We have to eat more arrogantly tonight." , we can’t let An Ge’er and the others lose their momentum.”

Third Grandma: "You are really good at talking. If you are greedy, you will be greedy. What you say will weaken the momentum of Brother An and the others. There is an exam tomorrow. If you say this, you are looking for a beating, right?"

As he spoke, he raised the red candle in his hand and went to hit Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen hurriedly ran away: "I'm going to get the pig's head to worship my ancestors."

It's a major scientific research event. Tonight we have to pay homage to our ancestors and pray to heaven and earth for blessings.

Gu Dewang was playing with several younger children, and when he saw this, he made a face at his mother's back.

Gu Defa saw it, glanced at him, and seemed to mutter something childish, then picked up a plate of crispy meat and distributed it to Gu Qingxi, Jin Niu, and Gui Niu.

Brother Cheng rushed over and hugged Gu Jinli: "Second sister, you are back. I miss you so much."

Qin Sanlang picked him up, put him aside, and reasoned with him: "Brother Cheng is old and can no longer hold your second sister like this, do you understand?"

Brother Cheng listened to Qin Sanlang very much. Although he wanted to continue hugging the second sister's thigh, he still stood obediently: "Yes, Brother Cheng knows he was wrong."

Qin Sanlang nodded with satisfaction and took out a small feather arrow for him like a magic trick: "I will make you a bow. I will bring it back to you next time and play with it first."

"Wow, Brother Sanlang made me a bow and arrow!" Brother Cheng's eyes lit up and he was so happy.

Gu Jinli looked at the lively scene at home and was very satisfied. This was called living a good life. If anyone dared to destroy her family's life, she would raise his ashes!

When it gets dark, the food is ready.

Gu Jinli served Qin Sanlang's sliced ​​ham. There were three plates of ham slices on each of the three tables. There were some left, which she wrapped in oil paper and gave to Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen was trembling with fright and asked Gu Jinli: "Xiao, Xiaoyu, my aunt just went to Yanfu Building to eat meat and vegetables twice recently, and went to the braised food shop to eat braised food three times. She has never done any other bad things. You Let Auntie go."

The corner of Gu Jinli's mouth twitched. I finally treated you well, but you are still so scared: "Aren't you greedy for ham? I'll give you some leftover. If you want it, don't throw it away."

"I want it." Mrs. Chen hurriedly grabbed the oil paper bag, held it in her arms, and asked cautiously: "Are you really going to settle a score with Auntie?"

Gu Jinli was too lazy to pay attention to her and sat down to cook.

The families finished their meal lively, and after talking to Gu Jinan, Gu Dexing, Qi Kangming, Gu Qingliang, and Gu Qingtian, they went home without staying any longer.

Qin Sanlang did not stay at home for the night, but rushed to the military station. Tomorrow's county examination is a major event for the whole county. The Division of Military Affairs will send troops to the examination room to maintain order.

Gu Jinli took the remaining crispy meat at home and asked him to take it with him.

…

It was still dark the next day, so several families got up, packed up, and went together to deliver the exam to Gu Jinan and the others.

He Jinsheng was already a child and did not need to take the county examination anymore, but he got up early and went to the county town with several families to give the examination to Gu Jinan and others.

They left the village in a mighty manner, and there were villagers who came to see them off along the way.

He Dayuan held up a torch and shouted to them: "Brother An, Brother Ming, take the exam well. Don't worry, when we passed by the Tu Tu Temple on the market a few days ago, we stopped by to pay homage to you. Grandpa Tu Tu will definitely I will bless you.”

Gu Jinan and the others raised the car curtain and smiled at the villagers: "Thank you, Uncle Dayuan. Don't worry, we will take the exam well."

Just like that, we left the village all the way. When we arrived at the intersection of Shangjia Village, we met up with Shang Xiucai and ran towards the county town together.

Mr. Ouyang didn't come to give the exam to Gu Jinan and the others. He thought it was just a county exam and there was no need to mobilize too much.

When we arrived at the county seat, the sky became brighter. But outside the gate of the examination room, there was already a bustle of people. There were people everywhere, including candidates, family members taking the exam, and ordinary people watching the excitement.

Gu Jinan was wearing new clothes and was in great spirits, like a green pine bathing in the scorching sun, vigorous and full of life.

Seeing Gu Jinan like this, Shang Xiucai felt a sense of accomplishment and nodded: "Not bad, he looks very energetic. I will definitely be nominated in one fell swoop."

Gu Jinan bowed his head to Shang Xiucai and said sincerely: "My disciple, I would like to thank you for your guidance over the past four years. I will definitely live up to my teacher's kindness by going here."
