Dozens of days after the release of the results of the township examination, Xu's house in the capital.

Xu Chengyu was lying back on the grand teacher's chair, holding the pastry in one hand and the letter in the other, and sipping tea from time to time, the whole person was very comfortable.

"...Huang Ruihua, No. 20 in Hangzhou Prefecture Examination Seven; Zhao Ziyi, No. 40 in Yangzhou Prefecture Examination; Ma Quan, No. 9 in Huai'an Prefecture Examination..." Looking at the good news of the provincial examination from students from all over the country, Xu Chengyu was in full bloom, smiling so much that his eyes narrowed.

Xu Shuhua pricked up his ears to pay attention, but after listening for a long time, he didn't hear the name he was worried about, so he pretended to be careless and asked, "Where are the others, Dad? There should be more than these students in the academy this year, right?"

"There are so many! Let me count, one, two, three..." Xu Chengyu put together the letters he had received in the past few days and counted them one by one, "I have received fifteen letters alone, plus According to the good news sent to other academies on the Internet, and those who are on the road at the moment, roughly speaking, our academy has recruited nearly thirty candidates this year."

Xu Chengyu let out a breath and was in a good mood: "In the last Enke Township Examination, the Academy only won [-] candidates. In the past three years, the number has doubled. The results are really gratifying!"

Seeing Xu Chengyu's relaxed appearance, Xu Shuhua guessed that Gu Yunji must have passed the exam, but he had never heard of him with his own ears, so he felt uneasy after all.Also worried about the reservedness of the daughter in the boudoir, it is not easy to ask by name, she can't advance or retreat for a while, the expression on her face is hesitant to speak, and her eyebrows are all tangled together.

After hesitating for a long time, Xu Shuhua still couldn't hold back the urgency in his heart, he turned a corner and asked: "Those students who used to be among the best in the academy... Mr. Cheng Yan and Cheng Yan, how did they do in the exam?"

"Oh, Cheng Yan, he was also hit, and Gu Yunji and the others were also hit." Xu Chengyu found a few letters from the pile of letters and handed them to Xu Shuhua, "Here, you can read for yourself."

Xu Shuhua was overjoyed immediately, and was about to reach out to take the letter, but was cut off by a wide palm that came across from mid-air.

Xu Shuhua showed dissatisfaction, and glared at the person who came: "Brother!"

Xu Shujing raised his eyebrows nonchalantly, and raised the letter even more offensively after hearing this, so that Xu Shuhua couldn't reach it: "Shuhua, don't worry, let my brother take a look first, or tell me what you want to know Whoever has news, I can read it to you directly."

Seeing the ridicule in Xu Shujing's eyes, Xu Shuhua's pretty face flushed, a little annoyance floated in his eyes, and he turned his head to ignore him sullenly.

Xu Shujing looked amused, unfolded the letter on his own, and deliberately raised his voice: "Let me see, Gu Yunji... Songjiang Fu Township Examination No. 2, hey, this is really amazing!"

Xu Shuhua's eyes lit up for a moment, but when he heard his tone suddenly change, he pretended to glance a few times: "Oh, no, I read it wrong, No.2 is Cheng Yan, not Gu Yunji."

Feeling ups and downs, Xu Shuhua sensed Xu Shujing's intention to tease him, Xu Shuhua turned his head instantly, his beautiful eyes were full of anger: "Brother, what are you doing!"

"I didn't do anything." Xu Shujing spread his hands with an innocent expression on his face, "It's just a wrong vision for a while, isn't that allowed?"

"You..." Xu Shuhua choked with anger, and there was nothing he could do about it.

"Okay, okay, Shujing, why are you teasing your sister?"

Xu Chengyu came out to smooth things over with a smile, took the letter and put it in Xu Shuhua's hands, jokingly said: "Yun Ji won, and he won the first place in the Songjiang Prefecture Examination. He and Cheng Yan, one Jie Yuan and one Ya Yuan, both won, and are about to go to Beijing to apply Will try, you will see him soon. How is it? Satisfied?"

"Jie Yuan? Really?"

Xu Shuhua's face was filled with joy, his eyes were bright, and he immediately yelled excitedly. Then, realizing that he had lost his bearing, he quickly covered his lips with his hand in embarrassment, coughed a few times as if to cover up, and the tips of his ears were covered with powder:
"The selection of scholars in the imperial examination has always been one of thousands of people, which is extremely difficult. Even if Mr. Gu and Mr. Cheng have special talents, it is not easy to stand out. It is rare to be on the list, let alone get With such an excellent result, everyone is happy now, so there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.”

The imperial examination is difficult, and no one can guarantee that she will pass it smoothly. She has never had any unreasonable idea that Gu Yunji must take the first place. As long as he can pass the exam, even if he is at the bottom, she is already very satisfied.

Of course, the current result surprised her even more.

The autumn wind suddenly picked up, and the fallen leaves fluttered down one after another. Xu Shuhua looked at the bleak autumn scenery outside the window, but his mood was as bright as a spring day - she would be able to meet Gu Yunji again in a short time.

The coolness of the late autumn morning struck people, Gu Yunji couldn't help shivering, reached out to brush off the fallen leaves on his shoulders, lifted the curtain and entered the house, the warm heat spread over the surface, instantly dispelling the cold air on his body.

Only halfway through packing the luggage, his son started making a fuss. Gu Yunxiao had no choice but to put down what he was doing and coax his son patiently in a gentle voice.

The child was weak, and to prevent Gu Zhaoqin from catching a cold and getting sick, the doors and windows were tightly sealed so that no wind could come in.There was even charcoal placed in the corner, and there was a faint heat wave, which made the whole room feel like a stove. Gu Yunxiao hugged his son for a short time, and the tip of his nose was dripping with sweat.

Seeing that Gu Yunxiao was sweating from exhaustion, Gu Yunji walked over and stretched out his hand to Gu Zhaoqin: "Let your father rest for a while, and third uncle come and hug him, okay?"

Gu Zhaoqin is now one and a half years old, and he can't speak clearly, but his temper is surprisingly stubborn. Hearing this, he shook his head stubbornly, and the chubby hand was holding Gu Yunxiao's skirt tightly, with tears in his eyes: "No, you have to Daddy! Daddy, don’t leave, don’t take the exam! You’ll get sick, so stay and stay at home with Qin’er!”

Gu Yunxiao sighed helplessly. Facing his wronged and clingy son, he couldn't get angry at all. He couldn't even bear to say a serious word, so he could only pat his head lovingly.

The rural examination has ended, and the general examination will be held in March next year. It is a long way from Songjiang Prefecture to the capital. If you want to adapt to the environment as soon as possible and concentrate on preparing for the exam, you have to start early.Therefore, not long after the Gu family returned to Huating County, they began to prepare the luggage for Gu Yunxiao and Gu Yunji to go to Beijing for the exam.

Gu Yunxiao was seriously ill when he came back from the last exam, and now he is going to take the exam again. The family members are a little scared, and they are nagging him every day.Children are sensitive, adults talk a lot, so Gu Zhaoqin will remember it, and subconsciously think that Gu Yunxiao will get sick as long as he leaves home for the exam, so when he sees him packing his luggage, he sticks to him and refuses to let him go .

It happened that Gu Zhaoqin was young, and Gu Yunxiao couldn't reason with him, so he could only comfort him in a nice voice, and repeatedly promised that he would not get sick, so Gu Zhaoqin was willing to let go a little.

As the days went by, the two brothers were getting closer, maybe they felt something, Gu Zhaoqin was very stalking today, no matter how Gu Yunxiao coaxed him, he refused to let go, making people helpless.
