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

Chapter 2
After eating, Gu Yunji came out of the main courtyard and went to the courtyard of his biological mother, Aunt Zhao.Take a rest today and don't have to go to school.

As soon as he entered the yard, he was thrown into his arms.

"Brother!" A little girl carved in pink and jade hugged Gu Yunji and looked at him with a smile.This is the younger sister Gu Yunqiao, ten years old this year, also born of Aunt Zhao, different from her original body, as the youngest child in the family, she is more favored and has a very detached temper.

Seeing his younger sister's lively smiling face, Gu Yunji felt better, and patted her head lovingly.

"Okay, how old are you, men and women are different, what does it look like to pester your brother so much." Aunt Zhao was also very happy to see her children in harmony and joy.But he was scruples about the strict rules, so he taught with a straight face.

Gu Xue, a new-age young woman from the 21st century, is very disapproving of feudal concepts such as "men and women sit at different seats at seven years old".

In her previous life, patriarchy in her family was particularly severe. As the first child in the family, she survived by luck.Later, she had two younger sisters one after another, one was sold, and the other was strangled to death by her father.

Maybe it was self-inflicted, and the mother never got pregnant after that.Later, my father adopted a cousin from his uncle's house, and the pain was like eyeballs.Gu Xue was admitted to university, but the whole family disagreed with her going to school, just because it cost money to study, and they thought girls were not worth it.In the eyes of the family, a non-biological cousin is much more important than her biological daughter.

Fortunately, with a student loan and a little car fare subsidized by the high school teacher, Gu Xue took the admission notice and secretly ran out of the house to report to the school.It's a pity that she was hit by a car and died before her beautiful life had fully begun.

As luck would have it, Gu Xue, who was persecuted by the clan concept in her previous life, has now become Gu Yunji who has to rely on the clan. In ancient feudal dynasties, it was difficult to break away from the clan.What's more, for Gu Yunji, who is now a man, the power of the clan is not only a scourge, but a help.

Before she could say a few words to her sister, Gu Yunqiao was urged by Aunt Zhao to greet Mrs. Wang.

Aunt Zhao was born in a poor family, and was hired as a concubine in the Gu family.Although she has a pair of children, she is still cautious and cautious in doing things, for fear of offending the master and wife.

Now that her son is in front of her, she has nothing else to say.It was just nagging him over and over to make him strive for success, study hard, not to make his father angry and so on.

Gu Yunji listened patiently and obediently for a while, then excused himself to go back to the room to study, got up and left.

Walking out of Aunt Zhao's courtyard, Gu Yunji breathed a sigh of relief.Today, the world is governed by benevolence and filial piety. If you want to take the imperial examination and have a good official reputation, you have to be filial to your parents.Whether it's a aunt or a concubine, even if it's acting, you have to act submissive in front of them.

Back in his room, Gu Yunji walked to the desk and looked through the homework that Yuan himself had done.

In the homework book, Yuanshen memorized almost every sentence in Master's class, even including modal particles.The handwriting became more and more scribbled as it went to the back, showing that the owner was upset because he didn't have time to write.

Seeing this, Gu Yunji couldn't help laughing.That's right, the college examination is held once a year, and it took the original body seven years from being enlightened at the age of six to being admitted as a child student at the age of 13.It can be said that it is dull, even dull.

The hospital and county examinations are held every September, while the township and general examinations are held every three years.Counting it, the next rural examination should be in August of the third year of Jingfeng, and the general examination will be held in March of the following year.Because of the addition of Enke, both exams were mentioned to be held this year, which became the rural exam in March and the general exam in September.

However, the township examination and general examination are still too far away from the current Gu Yunji. The most important thing is to strive to pass this year's county examination and become a scholar as soon as possible.

The county examination is still five months away, and there should be time. Gu Yunji, who also changed his destiny through reading in his previous life, is very confident about it.

In fact, for a scholarly family like the Gu family, the county examination is not difficult. The content of the examination is all Confucian classics, and the scope does not cover the "Four Books". Experienced elders explain the essentials of answering the questions, and there will be no problems.

Fortunately, Gu Yunji graduated from a major in Chinese language and literature in his previous life, so there is no problem with writing calligraphy. In addition, the original body is only a 14-year-old boy, and his handwriting is not much better. To show off.

Gu Yunji's memory is very good. He has memorized the Four Books to a half-baked degree since time travelling, but he has never passed the county test, and he doesn't know what the topics are.

Seeing him staring at the book with frowning frowns, the young servant Xudong asked tentatively, "The third young master encountered something he didn't understand while reading? Why don't you ask the eldest young master?"

Hearing this, Gu Yunji's eyes lit up, how could he forget this.

There are only three people in the family who have passed the county test, one is Gu Yunxiao, the other is Gu Yunlin, and his father Gu Kaizhen.

Needless to say, Gu Yunlin, his own homework is so-so, and his experience may not provide much reference value for Gu Yunji.The last time Gu Kaizhen participated in the imperial examination was more than ten years ago. Gu Yunji can't guarantee how good his level is.What's more, as the head of the family, Gu Yunji felt somewhat apprehensive seeing him.

The eldest brother Gu Yunxiao has a gentle temper and is of the same age as him, so he is easy to talk to.What's more, he has always been very serious about his studies, his experience should be able to help Gu Yunji.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunji got up to look for Gu Yunxiao.

The results of the provincial examination have not yet been released, Gu Yunxiao did not go out to play, but stayed in the study to study.Seeing Gu Yunji coming, he was a little surprised.

Gu Yunji used to stay in his room all day like a bored gourd, and he shrank a bit every time he spoke to him, but now he actually came to him on his own initiative, it seems that it is really different from before.

After the salute, Gu Yunji didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "Brother, I'm preparing for the county exam in September. Although I'm already familiar with the Four Books, I haven't seen the questions before, and I don't know the examiner's preference, so I'm not sure. I don’t know if big brother has any relevant reference books that you can lend me for reference?”

Hearing this, Gu Yunxiao showed a relieved smile.While rummaging through a few books on the bookshelf beside him, he said to Gu Yunji:

"My dear brother, talk about whether to borrow or not. If you need these books, just take them back."

As he said that, he introduced the books in his hand to Gu Yunji one by one: "This is a collection of exam questions in recent years, and this one is a collection of excellent model essays. There is also this set of four books, which contain my own annotations and experiences. Maybe it will work for you."

Gu Yunji took the book and flipped through it briefly.The collection of exam questions and sample essays collected real questions and articles from the county exam, which can be called a contemporary five-year college entrance examination and three-year simulation, which he can use now.

The fourth book is a bit old, and the edges of the pages are a little curled, it can be seen that the original owner must have read it many times.As Gu Yunxiao said, there are a lot of annotations he made in the book, and these annotations are obviously much more profound than the dull notes that Yuan himself made in his homework.

Seeing that Gu Yunji was reading it seriously, Gu Yunxiao added: "I bought both the test question set and the sample essay set a few years ago, and they are a bit outdated now. If you have time, go to the bookstore and buy the new mock test set. .”

Gu Yunji nodded yes, then hugged the book cherished in his arms, thanked Gu Yunxiao earnestly, and got up to leave.

Back in the room, Gu Yunji couldn't wait to start reading the book given by Gu Yunxiao seriously, the more he read, the more fascinated he became.Except for eating, he hardly ever went out.

Before I knew it, the day passed by like this.

　Explanation about the imperial examination system:

　　The imperial examination system of each dynasty is slightly different, so this book is empty, and some plots mainly refer to the Ming Dynasty.Considering the rhythm and logic of writing, the imperial examination system is set by myself after integrating the imperial examination systems of various dynasties. It has no reference value for the real world, so you don't have to worry about it.The specific imperial examination stages in this book are:
　　College Examination (Those who pass are called Tongsheng)

　　County Examination (Those who pass are called scholars)
　　Township Examination (Those who pass are called Juren)

　　Examination (Those who pass are called Gongshi)

　　The Palace Examination (re-ranking the admitted Gongshi) welcomes your suggestions!
