Chapter 58, Hit the Hit

"My little sister of Gu Cheng, how could she go to fight the autumn wind!"

"At that time, I was thinking, if I was strong, who would dare to bully her like this, who would dare to push her..." Gu Cheng said, looking at Chu Huaixi, "The road to officialdom is not easy, what we see is peace, but How dirty you are behind the scenes, you don’t know, I don’t know, you may be plotted by someone at any time, so you have to use a calm skin to disguise yourself, so that people can’t see through what you’re thinking, and you’ll be suspicious. Suspicion makes you afraid, and you dare not attack you easily!"

"Subchain..."

"Don't think too much, Huanxi said it, you can go to high school, calm down and prepare for the exam!" After Gu Cheng finished speaking, he turned and walked outside.

He is only fourteen, but he is already a gentleman.

With his own strength of character, he speaks sonorously and acts resolutely.

Chu Huaixi looked at it and couldn't help sighing.

In fact, Gu Huanxi is most convinced that her brother will pass the exam!
On the day of the exam, it started to rain in the imperial capital. Gu Cheng held an umbrella in one hand, and walked among the crowd with a basket and a bundle in the other.

Many people were accompanied by their parents and waited on by servants. He was alone in a thick Tsing Yi, and walked slowly forward. After going through multiple checks, Gu Cheng got his title.

Carrying things and walking slowly, when they got to the position, there was a smell.

The candidates next to him have already complained that it is a stinky number, that is, they are in the clean room.

Gu Cheng didn't even frown, and started to organize his things.

Take out everything you need again.

Stove, charcoal fire, thick clothes, soaked rice, pickled vegetables, and bacon.

Three days is just the first round.

"quiet!"

After a loud shout, the examiner distributed the examination papers.

When the exam papers came out, Gu Cheng read the exam questions first, then sat down to make a draft, and then added and subtracted, without rushing to write it down.

Instead, prepare to eat.

A person is in a fixed small room, unable to speak or not allowed to speak, eating, drinking, and lying in it, and there is still a stinking number on the side, and those patrolling people will go there for convenience.

Gu Cheng sat on the side, sipping porridge with a calm expression.

People passing by couldn't help but look at him more.

People who lived in this room before taking the exam all looked disgusted, and even yelled, complaining about their bad luck.

No one who has been assigned this number has ever passed the exam over the years.

There has never been a person as calm as Gu Cheng.

After going back, I couldn't help but search for it.

"What are you looking for?" Wei Shuran asked in a deep voice.

"I'm looking for the examinee sitting in the stinking toilet, let's see who he is!"

Wei Shuran helped his beard. He was already old, but he was in good spirits.

"Any questions?"

"He is very calm there, and he is still eating peacefully. I want to see his name and see how this sub-article is written!"

"..." Wei Shuran thought for a moment, "If you find it, show me!"

"Yes, Mr. Xiang!"

Soon Gu Cheng's name and the essays on the talent examination appeared on the table in front of Wei Shuran. Wei Shuran picked it up and looked at it. At first, he was a little careless, but after reading a few words, he looked at it squarely.

"Master Xiang..."

"Second son has a ditch in his belly, send someone to investigate his origin!"

"Yes!"

Wei Shuran thought for a while and said, "When his article is finished, show it to me first!"

"Yes!"

After eating, Gu Cheng fell asleep.

On a September night, it wasn't very cold, but it wasn't warm either. Gu Cheng nestled in the bed, thinking of his parents and relatives far away in his hometown, closing his eyes and sinking into dreams.

dawn the next day
Gu Cheng got up, washed and washed in the small place, cooked some porridge and ate, washed his hands, and sat down at the desk to write earnestly.

It was almost done in one go, and during this period, he didn't even know anyone walked past him.

"Ok!"

People passing by nodded slightly while supporting their beards.

That's what a learned person should do.

After finishing writing the article, Gu Cheng felt hungry. Looking at the sky, it was already evening.

Slowly put away the rolls, got up to cook the noodles.

Put some bacon and pickles, and eat in small bites.

The neighbor next door was very smelly, so Gu Cheng thought about what Gu Huanxi had said, "My brother is the smartest brother in the world, he will definitely be the number one in high school, and he will become a high official in the future!"

What is this smell!
After eating and resting, on the third day, Gu Cheng got up early, checked the article, and after seeing that there was no mistake, he began to pack his things. When he heard the sound of the gong, Gu Cheng left the small room.

Immediately someone stepped forward, "Submit the test paper?"

"Yes!"

A cylinder was opened, Gu Cheng's paper was put in, and then it was sealed as his face.

"you can go now!"

Gu Cheng cupped his fists and walked slowly outside with his things.

As soon as he left the examination room, Gu Cheng stood where he was, inhaling and exhaling deeply.

I felt a little aggrieved for no reason.

Especially among these countless people, none of them was waiting for him.

A young man in brocade clothes also came out. When he saw Gu Cheng, he was taken aback, "Have you handed in the paper?"

Gu Cheng looked at him and nodded slightly.

The young master stomped his feet angrily, obviously dissatisfied that Gu Cheng handed in the paper before him, "What's your name?"

"Xiaosheng Gucheng!"

"Gu Cheng..." Young Master Jinyi pursed his lips.

A gorgeous carriage drove over quickly, and a little maid jumped out of the carriage, "Grand...Young master!"

"Ok!"

The young master stretched out his hand and pinched the little maid's face, then jumped into the carriage.

"Go and find out the origin of that Gu Cheng!"

He even left the examination room before her.

"Princess, you'd better go back to the palace, if the empress finds out, I'll blame you again!"

"Don't be afraid, the imperial grandmother and the imperial grandfather will be back, I will accompany the imperial grandmother!" Long Xingchen said, laughing.

Gu Cheng watched the carriage leave, held up his umbrella, and walked out slowly.

Back at Chu Huaixi's aunt's small courtyard, the mother-in-law boiled hot water and Gu Cheng cleaned it before sitting on the side and quietly looking out the window.

It rained non-stop.

Then I heard a voice from outside, it was Chu Huaixi who came back.

"Zilian, how did you do in the exam?"

"It feels good, how about you?"

Chu Huaixi shook his head, "I feel like I failed the exam!"

Gu Cheng patted Chu Huaixi on the shoulder.

"I've been muddled these days, I know I can't be like this, but I can't control myself, I..."

"The list has been released, let's go for a walk!"

"Where to go?"

"It's fine to go anywhere, just the two of us, without followers, with a small amount of money, and go see the outside world!"

"..." Chu Huaixi nodded in silence for a moment, "Okay!"

Gongyuan
Wei Shuran looked at Gu Cheng's paper, and the more he read it, the more satisfied he became, "This kid can be of great use!"

This is only 14 years old, if it is honed for a few years, it must be a sharp sword.

"Master Xiang..."

"Ok?"

"Long live God said, he will have to read the first 50 meters of examinee papers this time!"

Wei Shuran smiled, "This is a good thing, put this in the middle when the time comes!"

"what?"

"It's gold that always shines. Our Long Live Lord is a wise king, and he will not let the pearl be dusted. If you don't believe me, let's bet that this year's Xie Yuan will be him!" Wei Shuran said, and tapped Gu Cheng's paper lightly with his finger.

The emperor was taught by him and Xing Fei, so he knows his temperament all too well.

Have a vision and an open mind.

A wise ruler who can create a prosperous age naturally needs capable ministers.

In the re-examination three days later, Gu Cheng was assigned a bad name again, and it was the first time.

When he was in that kind of number, he stood there for a moment, then walked away calmly.

not far away

Wei Shuran reached out to stroke his beard, and asked Wei Shuyu beside him, "What do you think?"

"It's a bit calm!" Wei Shuyu said quietly, reaching out to stroke his beard.

"Should I accept you as an apprentice? This son has a lot of knowledge, and he is not someone who is trying to catch fame!"

Wei Shuyu looked at his elder brother, "Seriously?"

"nature!"

"Then let's take a look!"

Wei Shuran shook his head, "You can't look any further, you have to act first, if Xing Fei finds out, nothing will happen to you!"

Wei Shuyu was silent for a moment, "Okay, I'll visit him when the exam is over, and if he passes, I'll take him in as an apprentice again!"

Gu Cheng didn't know that at this moment, his life had already embarked on the beautiful road...

If it was bad luck the first time, and bad luck the second time, what about the third time?

Still in the same account, Gu Cheng felt that someone was punishing him or testing him.

After thinking about it, I became more calm, more cautious in my actions and words, calm and orderly.

Still the first to hand in the test paper.

Long Xingchen came second three times in a row, and hated Gu Cheng to the core, so he decided to arrest and beat Gu Cheng.

After three games, Gu Cheng lost a lot of weight, but his eyes became more and more energetic.

It makes people feel convincing when they look at it.

In a short period of time, Gu Cheng experienced sharpening, like a sharp sword, began to show its light.

Breathtaking.

After Chu Huaixi passed the exam, he fell ill again.

Gu Cheng knew that he had a heart disease, because he witnessed the assassination of the second prince, witnessed that killing, he already understood in his heart, the battle for the crown prince, and even more knowing who his father had taken refuge in, his heart was terrified.

He has his own ideas, but he dare not disobey his father.

Gu Cheng sympathized with him, and also wanted to give him a hand. As far as Datong was concerned, the crown prince was the real, legitimate successor.

Late at night

A figure jumped into the room through the window.

Gu Cheng quietly reached out and took out the dagger under the pillow.

He can do some kung fu, but not very much.

When the black shadow hit him, he took two moves, and then he had to be beaten.

Gu Cheng hugged his head tightly, curled up, and protected his head and abdomen.

"Humph!"

Soi Ying was tired and stood aside and hummed coldly.

Gu Cheng raised his eyes suddenly.

Looking at the black shadow calmly, he knew who it was, the young master who came out after him in the examination room.

It turned out to be jealous that he came out earlier.

"What are you looking at, be careful that I gouged out your eyes!" The voice was full of anger.

There is also a little bit of squeamishness.

Gu Chengcheng said firmly, "I don't know where I offended you!"

"I just don't like you, let me tell you, I'll beat you up next time!" Long Xingchen finished speaking, jumped out of the window and ran away.

Gu Cheng got up slowly, reached out and rubbed the place where he was beaten.

It hurts a bit, but not as bad as expected.

A boy with so little strength?
If it is pastoral...

Thinking of Tian Yuan, Gu Cheng was a little worried, whether Tian Yuan would deceive Huanxi while he was away.

Royal Palace
Imperial study room

Today's Long Live Lord Jiankang Emperor is reading this student's article.

Here are the articles of the top fifty students.

Emperor Jiankang looked over slowly one by one, and put the good ones aside.

It's just so far, and I haven't seen it practical.

There are some flashy articles, written with colorful flowers, but less fireworks, seeking truth from facts.

He reached out and rubbed his temples.

Emperor Jiankang stood up slowly, and the eunuch who was serving by his side immediately stepped forward, "Long live, the imperial concubine sent someone to bring ginseng soup!"

"..."

Emperor Jiankang said nothing.

The eunuch said again, "The Empress has never...!"

Emperor Jiankang took a deep breath, "I reward you!"

He is tired, very tired.

Tired because the person you like doesn't understand his heart, always thinks he likes it, and does some disappointing things.

He is very envious of the love of his father and mother, and he also envies the second, third, and fourth brothers, and even the two younger sisters, who live a better life than him.

He is the Ninth Five-Year Master, but he lacks doing whatever he wants.

The common people in this world are all waiting for him to make the decision, so what does his personal feelings matter...

"Make a cup of tea!"

"Yes!"

After drinking a cup of strong tea, he continued to read the paper.

Kaiyuan County——Gucheng!
Emperor Jiankang opened it casually, looked at it casually, and after a few sentences, Emperor Jiankang sat up straight, and after going carefully, the smile in the corners of his eyes gradually deepened.

"Okay, this one is called..." He looked at the sealed bucket outside the test paper again.

"Kaiyuan County, Gu Cheng, check it out, how is this student's character?"

"Yes!"

After Jiankang Emperor read it carefully, he still felt that he was not satisfied, so he read it again and wrote it down with a red pen.

I didn't bother to look at the rest, "Let the Prime Minister choose the best!"

"Yes!"

With Xie Yuan, the top [-] are here, the next [-] have already been selected, and after [-], [-] will be selected.

A total of [-] people can enter the Chunwei three years later.

It is not easy to become a talented scholar.

Not to mention raising people to Gongsheng.

But after passing the Gongsheng examination, you can become an official, and the minimum is the county magistrate.

There are so many talents in the whole vastness, how many people have failed this time, not to mention the top [-], even the [-]th, and the position at the bottom has also made countless people envy and hate.

After all, everyone knows that these 700 people have the opportunity to enter Guangming Academy. Once they enter, the next exam is basically a sure thing.

But there is only one champion, and in Guangming Academy, in order to have a good teacher, they also fight for their heads, and there are countless stumbling blocks secretly.

Moreover, the selection of 700 people from tens of thousands of people is not only based on ability, but also the right time, place and people, which shows the cruelty.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when the rankings were released, Gu Cheng woke up early to wash and clean up, and then went to call Chu Huaixi.

Chu Huaixi has been very bad these days, and his illness has come and gone. Now he is a little better, but he is very thin. If it weren't for Gu Cheng's tireless enlightenment and talking with him, he might not be able to survive.

During this period, his aunt Xu Chu came to visit, and seeing Chu Huaixi's heart ached, she hesitated to speak several times, but in the end she didn't say anything, but she was very polite to Gu Cheng.

"Subchain..."

Gu Cheng himself was also nervous, and reached out to pat Chu Huaixi on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's eat something first, and then go to the list!"

"In case I miss..." Chu Huaixi lowered his eyes.

"What's the matter, you're still young, you just come back in three years, why bother pushing yourself like this!" Gu Cheng said, pulling Chu Huaixi out the door.

The two were walking, because there were too many people going to the place where the list was released.

If you rely on a horse-drawn carriage, you can't drive at all, so it's not as convenient as walking.

Each of these past cases was full of hope, and some came back after seeing the results.

Those who won were full of joy and walked with wind, those who failed were full of frustration and downcast, and there were those who were determined and vowed to take the exam again in three years.

"..."

Gu Cheng stood where he was, watching quietly.

Chu Huaixi was full of confusion, he really couldn't find his way.

"Zilian, I don't want to see it anymore!"

"why?"

"I……"

Chu Huaixi hesitated to speak.

Gu Cheng looked at his pale face, "Let Jixiang take you back, I'll go and see alone!"

"Zilian, you will definitely win. I have always believed that you will win!" Chu Huaixi said, somewhat incoherently.

Gu Cheng watched and asked the servant Jixiang to send him back.

He walked forward slowly by himself.

"Who is this from Gucheng, Kaiyuan County?"

"I don't know, do you know him?"

"I don't know him, I haven't seen him in several poetry meetings!"

There were people talking about Gu Cheng on the road.

Gu Cheng stood where he was, and thought about it silently, is this Gu Cheng him?
Walk forward slowly.

Arrived at the place where the list is released.

"Ah, I found it, I've hit it, I've hit it!" A student came out with tears all over his face.

Pulling the person next to him, "I'm hit, I'm hit!"

Waiting for him to pull Gu Cheng and said happily, "I've won!"

Gu Cheng cupped his fists slightly, "Congratulations!"

"Thank you, thank you, my name is An Huaizhi, I don't know how to call you brother?"

"Gu Cheng!"

An Huaizhi paused.

Gu Cheng, I feel very familiar, but where have I seen it before?

"what……"

When An Huaizhi remembered, he couldn't find Gu Cheng.

A person was so happy in the same place, he actually talked to Gu Cheng in the vast crowd.

What a surprise.

Gu Cheng came to the front of the list, and started to read slowly from the end.

With [-] names, it is actually very easy to find your own name, and Gu Cheng never thought that he could win the prize.

There is no name in the last five hundred.

Gu Cheng looked at the top [-] again, and when he saw his name was in the first place, he blinked and couldn't believe it.

He stretched out his hand and pinched himself, the pain was so clear that Gu Cheng realized that he had been hit.

No.1, Jieyuan.

Hahaha!

Gu Cheng laughed twice in his heart.

But calmly turned around and walked outside.

He won, No.1, Jie Yuan.

are you happy?
Definitely happy.

He was going crazy with joy. He had to write a letter to go home to let his family know that he had won the prize and that he was a Juren.

It's the master of Juren.

From then on, the family's land no longer needs to be taxed.

He was finally doing something for the family.

Eye sockets were slightly red, Gu Cheng raised his hand and wiped his face, suppressing himself from crying.

"..."

Long Xingchen sat on the second floor, watching Gu Cheng who was walking past in the crowd.

Gu Cheng's paper in his hand was rubbed out.

She didn't expect that this guy was really talented.

The articles written are a bit profound, at least she can't write such articles.

Get up and walk downstairs.

"My lord, where are you going?"

Long Xingchen smiled, "Go get to know our Gu Jieyuan!"
