After the powerful minister was reborn, he married the delicate girl back home

Time passed quickly, and a few days passed in the blink of an eye. The exam that the students were looking forward to finally came.

Unlike the county examination, the prefecture examination was presided over by the prefect. However, it took several days to take a carriage from the town to the prefectural city. Gu Xingmo was seriously injured and had been in coma for several days. The doctor recommended that he stay in bed and rest, so he did not attend. This time the government examination.

This is exactly what Gu Xingmo wants. The extra year can be used to think about the future. Anyway, he is only sixteen years old this year, so he is still young. There is no need to be too anxious. Besides, he has been growing up since he was young. I have never worried about exams. Anyway, in my last life, I got the third grade in the Northern Dynasties, which is a rare event in a hundred years. I still need to have this confidence.

There were three people in a room, and the last ones to take the exam were Zhang Xu and Xiao Zijue. Gu Xingmo was not worried about them. After all, their strength was already there. Coupled with their usual hard work, they could still pass the provincial exam. More than enough.

Once the government examination is over, you will have to call 'Master' when you meet again, 'Master Zhang', 'Master Xiao'... It is a bit fun to imagine a scenario where you have to call two people 'Master'.

After laughing, Gu Xingmo couldn't help but look forward to the release of the results in a few days. This was much more fun than taking the exam by himself.

Li Rongjiao happened to come over to return the clothes, the original brocade white coat, saying that she wanted to return it to Brother Gu, but she always forgot about it every time she came back. She really didn't want to delay it any longer, so Li Rongjiao specially brought the clothes over this time.

Seeing that Gu Xingmo was in a good mood today, Li Rongjiao smiled and asked him what happy event had happened.

Gu Xingmo smiled and did not answer, but asked: "Rong Niang, do you want to become literate?"

Li Rongjiao was a little surprised. Of course she wanted to be literate, but pens, ink, paper, and inkstones were extremely expensive. Those academies did not admit female students. Even if they did, she couldn't afford to pay for them. How could she learn to read? Moreover, apart from girls from rich families, there is no literate peasant girl anywhere in the world.

Although she really wanted to learn to read, Li Rongjiao still had some concerns and could only shake her head gently to show her refusal.

Gu Xingmo knew that she was willing. Thinking back to the last life, Cui Chuanchui took the lead in scolding the little girl as a 'bumpkin' and a 'bitch'... He also thought of how much contempt the little girl had received in the capital for being illiterate. Gu Xingmo secretly made up his mind. , I must teach the little girl.

"Rong Niang, tell me, why don't you want to learn?"

Li Rongjiao slowly replied: "Because pens, ink, paper and inkstones are too expensive. Brother Gu, some people just want to be alive. How can they dare to ask for so much!"

These words were like a thorn, stuck in Gu Xingmo's heart, causing him to wake up suddenly with pain. Yes, now he is not the Gu Shoufu who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. He has no money and power. , we should no longer take everything so easy.

Gu Xingmo was silent for a long time. Li Rongjiao didn't know which of her words she had said wrong. She felt a little uneasy. She pinched the corners of her sleeves tightly and thought about whether she should say something else.

Just as she was hesitating, Gu Xingmo suddenly stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

After a while, he came back with two things in his hand, one was a long branch and the other was burnt charcoal. He shook the two things gently and said with a smile: "This is the pen."

Then, he stepped on the ground in the yard and continued: "This is paper, Rong Niang, and it's all free of charge."

"Oh, by the way, there is also me, a free master."

It was indeed good from this point of view, but Li Rongjiao still had concerns. She frowned slightly and asked worriedly: "Brother Gu, won't this affect your own study? Aunt Gu said you will take the exam next year. "

After hearing this, Gu Xingmo smiled and joked: "You said it's the exam next year, why bother? Rong Niang, do you remember what I told you? Don't do what you don't want to do, but if If you want to do something, then you must do it, because opportunities are always rare.”

After listening to Gu Xingmo's words, Li Rongjiao felt a little relieved. She struggled for a long time, and just when she was about to open her mouth to say something, there was a knock on the door.

"Then Brother Gu, I'll open the door first." After Li Rongjiao said that, she trotted to open the door.

After opening the door, Li Rongjiao looked at several unfamiliar faces, then looked at the carriage parked behind, and asked doubtfully: "Excuse me, are you..."

Before the two adults spoke, the little baby wearing a long blue brocade dress asked, "Is this Gu Xingmo's house?"

As soon as he said this, the woman in a lavender dress immediately covered his mouth and scolded him in a low voice: "Shut up, Zhu'er, this is really rude."

The little baby nodded quickly, and the woman released her hand covering his mouth and said softly to Li Rong: "Girl, do you dare to ask if this is Gu Xingmo's home? We are 'Jingyang Academy' People come here specially to see him."

Li Rongjiao looked at the woman in front of her and was stunned. She was so beautiful. Her lavender dress was embroidered with many flowers and butterflies. She also had a faint fragrance on her body. Her whole body was indescribably noble and elegant. , the most beautiful person she has ever seen in her thirteenth year.

Seeing her frozen in place, Mrs. Lu was a little confused and shouted softly: "Girl, girl..."

Li Rongjiao came back to her senses, scratched her head in embarrassment, and hurriedly opened the door to let a few people in, "This is Brother Gu's home. Brother Gu is resting in the yard, and Sister-in-law Gu is embroidering a handkerchief in the house. Please wait a moment. , I will call Aunt Gu and Uncle Gu home right away."

After saying that, she hurried over and it was useless no matter how much Mrs. Lu shouted behind her.

Several people entered the yard and saw Gu Xingmo sitting under the tree, holding a branch in his hand, as if he was writing something. Lu Yuanzhou immediately looked at his wife, and by chance Mrs. Lu also looked at him, and there was a gap between them. Looking into each other's eyes, their years of affection made them immediately understand what the other meant.

Lu Yuanzhou: I didn’t expect Gu Xingmo’s family to be in such difficulty. Madam, please leave more money later!

Mrs. Lu: Yes, but the money will be deducted from your calligraphy and painting.

Lu Yuanzhou thought of his precious calligraphy and paintings, and felt reluctant to part with them. He then gently touched Lu Qianzhu's little head and gave his wife a look.

Lu Yuanzhou: How about taking it from your son? His lucky money from last year hasn’t been used yet!

Mrs. Lu thought for a while, then looked at her son's puzzled expression, and nodded. After all, it was left to the savior, and Lu Qianzhu would definitely be willing to do so. She knew that Zhu'er had always been a good child who knew how to be grateful.

And Lu Qianzhu, who didn't know anything, would never have thought that his parents were already preparing to contribute his New Year's money.

Gu Xingmo couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw that Li Rongjiao hadn't come back after opening the door for so long. He looked up and saw that the dean and his wife were standing in the courtyard, with the 'little monkey' Lu Qianzhu beside him. He couldn't help but be a little shocked. He quickly dropped the branch in his hand, trampled the words on the ground, and stood up to greet him. He really didn't expect the dean's family to come.

Lu Qianzhu was very happy to see Gu Xingmo. He rushed over, hugged Gu Xingmo's thigh, and shouted: "Brother Gu, I miss you so much."

Brother Gu? What the hell is that? Gu Xingmo ducked away uncomfortably and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello to Lu Yuan and the other two.

Seeing that he ignored her, Lu Qianzhu stood there gloomily, kicked away the stones on the ground, and then saw the word Gu Xingmo had not wiped clean. It seemed to be "Jiao". Why was it written "Jiao"? Lu Qianzhu couldn't understand.
