Kuai Chuan: The villain became my plug-in

Chapter 44

On the day when the results were released, it was still dark, Zhang Xiaofeng was more nervous than Gu Nian, and waited in front of the announcement early in the morning.

Seeing Gu Nian's calm look, he asked suspiciously, "Master, aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of? Afraid of not winning the exam? Or afraid, your young master, I don't have the courage to try again?" Gu Nian smiled.

I dare not claim to be foolproof when I do anything, but because of failure, I start to slump and stagnate. It is better not to do it in the first place, at least not because of disappointment and blaming others.

Zhang Xiaofeng didn't understand, if one day he faced such a big event, he might be so worried that he could hardly eat and sleep.

Gu Nian patted Zhang Xiaofeng's head, but didn't say a word. This is what she has experienced for several lifetimes. Fear is the most useless thing. If you are afraid, will it be resolved?

Gu Nian looks forward with his head up, and the calm emotions cannot be cultivated overnight, it takes a long time to explore.

Is it hard to study medicine?Thick medical books, every word must be firmly memorized, is it bitter?bitter.

Tired of pharmacy?Failure again and again, any slight gap, you have to overthrow and start over, are you tired?tired.

Is stereotyped essay difficult?Is it difficult to re-learn a style of writing, difficult to understand, and carefully consider every word?hard.

But that's it, hard work, although the rate of return is very small, you still don't regret taking this road, the road ahead is difficult and bumpy, but you have to go forward bravely.

"Come out, come out!" Someone yelled.

There was a crowd of people in front of the list, Zhang Xiaofeng jumped up vigorously, he couldn't even see the shadow of the list.

"Shao Jijian from Jinzhou, the first class in the test, Huiyuan! It's Huiyuan!"

The crowd spontaneously made way for Huiyuan, who was at the top of the list, to stand up, and was greeted with congratulations. The atmosphere of joy did not last long, and some scholar men who failed the list cried and wailed, fell to the ground and hammered their chests, unable to accept this cruel situation. reality.

There are all kinds of things in the world. Among the noisy crowd, some people are happy and some are lonely.

Relying on his small stature, Zhang Xiaofeng left Gu Nian and squeezed into the crowd by himself.

Malnutrition when he was young caused Zhang Xiaofeng to be ten years old, but his stature was still around seven or eight years old, a bit shorter than his peers.

He rushed in and ran out after a while, shouting excitedly: "Master, No.2, you are No.2!"

The voice was too high, causing people around to look sideways. It was not until Zhang Xiaofeng stood in front of Gu Nian that everyone noticed that the handsome and handsome young man was the No.2 in this test.

"congratulations……"

"Thank you, congratulations, congratulations."

Among the congratulators, some forced smiles with endless sourness in their smiles, and some sincerely congratulated and wanted to get a piece of happiness.

Gu Nian does not refuse anyone, but his attitude is more humble. At this point, as long as there are no mistakes, half a foot has stepped into the Vanity Fair.

To be kind to others is to be kind to oneself. This sentence is not unreasonable.

When Gu Nian and Zhang Xiaofeng arrived home, the people in the court were a step ahead of them, and when they saw Gu Nian coming back, the neighbors around them congratulated with joy.

Gu Qingyue was happy, and the smile on her mouth never calmed down. The interest she paid out was comparable to half a year's expenses of their family.

Gu Nian thanked the official errand, and held a thank-you banquet on the Wangjiang Tower. After drinking for three rounds, Gu Nian turned back home after he had exhausted his etiquette.

Inside the house, Gu Qingyue, Cuihuan and Zhang Xiaofeng sat silently, facing the table full of dishes, they didn't move their chopsticks, the aftertaste of first joy hadn't slowed down yet, and there was a turbulent wave in their hearts.

Seeing Gu Nian, Gu Qingyue asked in surprise, "Why did you come back so soon?"

Gu Nian smelled of alcohol, took the tea Cuihuan had poured, rinsed his mouth, and said, "I want to be with you."

As soon as the words fell, several people wept imperceptibly, like little whimpering animals, floating silently in the air.

Gu Nian acted as if he didn't see it, glanced at the table with a natural expression, saw the untouched food, grabbed a pair of chopsticks, picked up a fresh and tender bamboo shoot, and said while eating: "It's delicious, let's move the chopsticks together. "

After eating lunch in silence, Gu Nian's alcohol picked up, took two sips of water, and lay down on the bed unsteadily.

After a good night's sleep, she opened her eyes, and the bright moonlight shone in. When she was about to get up, Gu Qingyue was sleeping soundly lying on the edge of her bed, her breathing was light and steady, and the faint light and shadow cast a layer of shimmer on her. .

Without moving any more, Gu Nian lay on the bed, looking at Gu Qingyue quietly.

In the few years since she came here, she has grown from a child to the present, with a young appearance, and there are traces of time on the corners of Gu Qingyue's eyes.

"Mother, thank you." Gu Nian looked at her and whispered.

Sleeping soundly, Gu Qingyue opened her eyes and smiled kindly: "Silly boy, thank you for what I said to mother, but you, who have suffered so much to come here, mother did not expect that you would do such a good job." .”

Gu Qingyue saw from the tears that Gu Nian, who was not as tall as the Eight Immortals' Table, was writing on rice paper with a brush in her hand. She was reprimanded by her master for not being strong enough to write. As a young girl, she filled her purse with stones and hung it on her wrist until until the master's request is met.

In fact, there is no need to be so eager. Two years later, it will naturally be achieved, but Gu Nian still gritted her teeth and persisted. Sometimes, she would forget that Gu Nian was supposed to be a sweet girl raised in the boudoir.

Zhou Guo 1980 April [-]th, at the third quarter of the ugly hour, Gu Qingyue accompanied Gu Nian, on the official road leading directly to Tianfu, the dew was heavy, and the robes he was wearing were dragging wetly on the ground.

"Mother, just send it here, you can go back." In front of the Forbidden City, an endless stream of carriages stopped here, waiting for the palace gate to open, and the imperial examination to face the emperor officially began.

Gu Nian and several tributes stood in the side hall, waiting for the emperor to call.

"Xuan, Gongshi enters the palace!" The eunuch called out in a drawn-out voice.

After going through layers of screening, Gu Nian stepped onto the main hall. The glazed tiles on the top of the head let out sunlight and cast it on the ground. The majestic and majestic hall is decorated with carved beams and painted walls, and a fierce and powerful black dragon coiled around the hall. On the pillar, gold powder floated darkly, making people gasp subconsciously.

Not daring to raise his head, Gu Nian followed the eunuch, knelt down on the ground, and shouted: "Gu Chuhe, a grassroots man, kowtow to the Holy One, and wish the Holy One long live, long live, long live."

The immature child's voice sounded from the top: "Get up."

Another eunuch shouted together: "Get up—"

Everyone stood up and stood on both sides of the hall.

The Son of Heaven sat on the dragon chair, looked at the dark, unfamiliar crowd below, and habitually turned his head to look to the left, where the Regent Wang An Chuzhuo was standing.

The emperor didn't seem to know what effect it would have on him, but it seemed that as long as he did this, he would have a silent sense of security.

The regent seated below seemed not to notice, staring down at the felt blanket under his feet, silent.

The little emperor had no choice but to cough lightly, hoping that he could raise his head, but the regent Wang An Chuzhuo still didn't move.

The young Tianzi was frightened, bit the corner of his lips, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and said in a trembling voice: "...let's start."

Immediately, the eunuchs sang loudly again: "The imperial examination begins——"

Gu Nian turned around and stood in front of the desk behind her. The little eunuch behind her gently placed a sealed letter on her desk.

"sit--"

Gu Nian sat down after hearing the words, rolled up his sleeves, and placed the pen and ink in the direction he used to, before slowly opening the letter.
