The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 162 Cousin's heart, An Qi hits it (7)
Well, send who?How should I put it...

However, after Gu Shaolin and An Qi were selected as scholars, the parents of both parties had to stare at them and ask: should they continue to study at the county school or go to Jiangyang Prefecture to study next?Will you take the next provincial examination?Or wait for the next one?
An Ran had told his elder brother before that when he went to Jiangyang, he would find an opportunity to collect the previous rural examination questions, but he was not allowed to peek.An Qi kept his sister's words in mind, suppressed curiosity in his heart, and insisted on not opening it to read, while Gu Shaolin followed An Ran's words even more, and refused to read if he was not allowed to read.

When the preparations were over, An Qi and his cousin selected the test questions from the previous session to do. It was regarded as a mock test, and the time was reduced from three days for each regular test to one day for each test.The reason is that the atmosphere of the examination room is different from now, and there is nothing in the examination room, but now they have very good logistics services.

It's just that the final review is done by three people. In the classics and history part, two people can know whether it is correct or not as soon as they read the book, and in the policy and theory part, three people discuss it together.An Qi and Gu Shaolin listened to An Ran's analysis, and their horizons were broadened a lot, and they also realized their own shortcomings, and unconsciously surrendered to her.

In fact, An Ran only knew the general idea, but in her previous life she lived in a society where consultation was highly developed. Although she was not proficient in astronomy, geography, history, economics and politics, she knew a little bit about everything.And just talking about these superficial things can make An Qi and Gu Shaolin, who are not very broad-minded, submissive.

Therefore, after the mock exam, both of them calmed down and knew the direction of their future efforts.Confucianism and history still need to be continuously reviewed, and practice needs to be studied and discussed in many ways.I won't take part in the next class, so let's wait for another class!Anyway, they are still young, don't worry, it's better to accumulate more.

With An Ran's suggestion, when Gu Shaolin went back to talk about it, Gu Shengwen issued new orders to his shopkeepers in various places: to collect local anecdotes, government measures, and even the government's verdicts.

As for the county school, they all felt that there was no need to go.The things taught by the county school are not very helpful to scholars. Before that, Qian Rui stayed in the county school, mainly discussing with several masters.In fact, the prefectural school is not much better than the county school, and the masters hired there are all scholars, at most, they have more experience in taking the exam, but how much better are the scholars who have failed the exam for so many years?If you can go to the Imperial College in the capital, it will be more or less the same.It is said that the doctors of Guozijian are all famous Confucians in the world.

In April, An Ran received 500 taels of silver personally delivered by Master Qin.Only then did An Ran know that Master Qin finally sent his set of pictures of the Four Gentlemen in Flowers to consignment.It is said that these four paintings were sold for a total of 500 taels of silver.The calligraphy and painting merchants who consigned put in so much effort, so they naturally had to charge an intermediary fee, so they only gave Master Qin 500 taels.

An Ran directly gave the 500 taels to Mr. Qin, firstly, he bought it from himself for 300 taels before, and secondly, thanks to others for taking the trouble to frame it, right?More importantly, she needs Master Qin to keep her secret.

In fact, the painting and calligraphy merchant was willing to give the big head to Master Qin because he wanted to get the real Yunmeng's painting from him again.Because of these few paintings, his Calligraphy and Painting Studio became famous, and the business is much better now than before.

With this money, An Ran felt more at ease.With so much money, if there is no big expenditure, their family will not be able to use it up for a lifetime.Originally, if she had money, it would be fine to send her elder brother to the Imperial College in the capital, but thinking about the Lu family and the third prince, she was still a little worried. After all, the capital was unfamiliar, and anything could happen.

An Ran believed in her brother, even if he didn't go to the Imperial College, he would still be able to pass the exam!An Ran planned that after her elder brother won the imperial examination, he would go to the Imperial College to study for two years and then take the examination.

But Gu Shaolin really hasn't been to Zhou's room since the incident of divorcing his wife.On weekdays, he treated her like air, and never said a word to her except for words like "Get out of the way!" and "Get out!"

It was said that the long-term vegetarian diet could not be tolerated by a man who had a meat diet, but Gu Shaolin really endured it.

Didn't he get injured in the past few months?Naturally, I lived in the study and took a good rest.After recovering from the injury, I have to prepare for the exam again. How can I be distracted?Therefore, he still lives in the study.But when he came back from the exam and still refused to go back to his room to sleep, not only Zhou was anxious, but even Yang was also anxious.

Could it be that not only the chest and abdomen of the son were injured, but also something went wrong down there?
Gu Shengwen, the father, had no choice but to ask his son quietly.

Gu Shaolin actually still has some resentment towards his father, but it is his father after all, so what if he is unhappy?Hearing his father ask such intimate words, 17-year-old Gu Shaolin's face turned red all of a sudden, and even he himself felt his face burning hot.

"I swore that I would never touch her with a single finger in my life, or I would die a terrible death!"

"What? You child, how can you make such an oath casually? What should I do?" Gu Shengwen was in a hurry.

"Didn't you be mad at her at the time? Who told her to turn black and white so that I was beaten and injured? I just want her to be a widow for the rest of her life!"

"Nonsense!" Gu Shengwen scolded, "Then what do you do? What about the succession of our Gu family's heirs?"

Gu Shaolin said nonchalantly: "Without her, wouldn't there be other women? Dad, what are you worried about? My son is only seventeen this year! In the future, my son can take a concubine, divorce his wife and remarry. What am I afraid of?"

In terms of family values, Gu Shengwen's thoughts are relatively conservative.In his opinion, even if there is something wrong with a married wife, she is still a woman who grows old with him and needs to be respected.It's also for this reason that after the Gu family became prosperous, it's not that no one gave him beautiful maidservants, concubines, concubines, singers, etc., but he didn't want any of them.He didn't expect his son to be so young, but still have such "fancy thoughts".

It wasn't until now that Gu Shengwen discovered that his son had a stubbornness in his bones, and he actually planned to divorce his wife.

"After all, you are a married couple, and she is your first woman. Do you really have no affection for her at all?"
