Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 127

Compared with the boring study and life of Luxi Academy, the life of the Gu family in Huating County is much more fulfilling and rich, but I don’t know if it’s because of a different study environment, so I’m not used to it. Anyway, since returning, Gu Yunji has always felt quiet. Don't worry, the efficiency of test preparation is not as good as before.

Every morning and evening, I have to go to the main hall to say hello and listen to my father and mother's teachings; then my biological mother, Aunt Zhao, can't stop talking, and when I see Gu Yunji, let him study and strive for success, there is almost nothing else to say.

Also, the second child, Gu Yunlin, who was negotiating a marriage during this period, made a lot of demands, either because he thought the girl was from a bad family background, or because she didn't look good enough, so she made endless fuss about picking and choosing, which made Gu Yunji's ears hurt.

Occasionally, Gu Yunji wanted to relax and went to chat with Cheng Yan, but the other party didn't know what he was busy with, and he couldn't make an appointment, so he had no choice but to rest his mind and continue to stay at home.

Therefore, although he is not as busy as when he was studying in Luxi Academy, Gu Yunji feels physically and mentally exhausted, and his mental state is not as good as before.

On this day, Gu Yunji was sitting in the study reviewing his books when he heard the door being gently pushed open. Gu Kaizhen walked in, and he quickly got up to greet him: "Father."

Gu Kaizhen waved his hand to signal that there is no need to be too polite, pushed him back to the chair and sat down, looked around the table with the books, and asked, "How is it, how are you preparing? Are you sure about the rural exam?"

Gu Yunji pondered and said: "It's okay, it's not a big problem."

Gu Kaizhen raised his eyebrows, and there was a bit of surprise in his tone: "Really? You must know that the township test is no better than the county test. The difference in difficulty between the two is not generally large. How many people passed the scholar exam at a young age, but spent too much time on the township test?" lifetime."

Gu Yunji smiled softly, and said confidently: "Father, my two and a half years in Luxi Academy were not in vain. As a student whom His Majesty once praised personally, and a disciple of Xu Chengyu, the former chief assistant of the cabinet, if I would If you fail the provincial examination, do you still have the face to meet people?"

In my impression, Gu Yunji has always been a calm, cautious and sensible child. He has never heard such sharp words from him. Gu Kaizhen was shocked, but suddenly felt that this little son had grown up too much in the past two years, and he didn't know him as well as he imagined. .

Gu Yunji was not surprised by Gu Kaizhen's reaction at all. Relationships take time to develop. He has been studying abroad for the past two years, and he has little communication with Gu Kaizhen, let alone getting to know each other well.

To be honest, in terms of words and deeds and caring and love, Xu Chengyu is more worthy of the role of Gu Yunji's father.

Surprise flashed across Gu Kaizhen's eyes, and his expression quickly returned to calm: "It's good to have confidence, but you can't relax. I see that you seem to be a little absent-minded these days. Why, it's because of a sudden change of environment, so don't worry about it. Are you too comfortable?"

Speaking of this, Gu Yunji felt helpless in his heart, and pinched the center of his brows with a headache: "It's a little uncomfortable. After all, I have stayed in Luxi Academy for so long, and it's okay to have a holiday in the middle. Now I will go home and prepare for the exam. It didn't change in a while."

Glancing at Gu Yunji's dark eyes, Gu Kaizhen narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued, "I was just about to tell you that besides you this year, your uncle's son Gu Ming'an will also take part in the provincial examination. It just so happened that your grandfather hired a great scholar recently. Before the exam, I can stay and teach at the Gujia School in Fucheng, so I want you to go there too, and prepare for the exam while going to school, and take the rural exam directly in August."

"The left and right homes are not a good place to study. Going to school with others in Fucheng School should be more efficient than preparing for the exam alone. What do you think?"

Gu Yunji was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Of course it would be the best. Anyway, you have to go to the prefectural city to take the exam, so you can go directly to the school now, so you won't have to go back and forth when the township exam comes."

Although he is not very familiar with the Gu family in Fucheng, compared with a home full of disturbances and miscellaneous things, it is still easier for him to study in a relatively quiet environment, not to mention that the school life of going to and from class on time every day can help him to a certain extent. Compared with the life of Luxi Academy, at least in terms of the atmosphere of studying, the two are similar.

Gu Kaizhen nodded: "Well, everything is ready in Fucheng, and you can go there in two days. The main reason I came today is to tell you this. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Father! Wait." Gu Yunji suddenly remembered something, and called Gu Kaizhen who was about to turn around and leave, "If you are going to Fucheng School to study, can you...call Shang Chengyan together?"

Catching the doubt in Gu Kaizhen's eyes, Gu Yunji hurriedly continued: "We were inseparable when we were in the academy, and we often went to and from class together, and we were roommates in the same dormitory. I would adapt faster if he was with me. It’s just one more person, shouldn’t be a big problem, right?”

As a student he sponsored all the year round, Gu Kaizhen naturally had an impression of Cheng Yan.A child from a poor family who was born in a poor family, such an opportunity as the great Confucianism himself taught, is probably difficult for him to get in his life. Now that his son has asked for it, it is nothing to help him.

What's more, Cheng Yan's grades have always been good, and he can be regarded as a potential target worthy of investment. Thinking of this, Gu Kaizhen readily agreed: "Yes, but I want to tell your grandfather, and you can go there together after he replies."

Hearing what he said, Gu Yunji was slightly relieved.

The reason why he wanted to call Cheng Yan together was not only because of the consideration of "good brothers are blessed to share", but more importantly, because of the disparity in family background, Cheng Yan had both self-esteem and low self-esteem when getting along with him, and his mind was very sensitive.If he went to Fucheng to go to school without saying a word, it might make the other party think too much.

Gu Yunji didn't want to use this incident to remind the difference of background between the two, and he didn't want to create an illusion of "abandoning him" to Cheng Yan, so it was the best choice to go with Cheng Yan.

Soon, Gu Kaizhen received a reply from Fucheng. Gu Zhengde naturally had no objection to Gu Yunji's personal matters, saying that everything had been arranged and they could just come to school.

So a few days later, Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan went to Gu's house in Fucheng together.

When they arrived, everyone in the Gu Mansion was busy with their own affairs, and they didn't come to greet them with much enthusiasm. After Gu Kaili exchanged a few casual greetings, he asked them to take them to the guest room prepared in advance to settle down. go to school.

Gu Yunji didn't like to socialize with a lot of unfamiliar relatives, and Gu Fu's lukewarm attitude was just right, which made him feel very comfortable.

Just as he put down his luggage and was about to take a good rest, he heard a loud voice from outside Cheng Yan's room next door:

"Where did you come from, boy? Look at your poor appearance, could it be a thief who sneaked in!"
