Traveling through ancient times

"Damn it! Damn it! I must kill her! ... Luliu, go find someone to kill that bitch for me!"

Feng Meir was almost mad with anger. Before she came, her mother told her that all the members of her great aunt's family had died and she was the only old aunt left. When she died in the future, everything she left behind would be her dowry!

Mother said:

"Guai Mei'er, your grandfather is always cold to us. Although your father dotes on you, you really pissed off your grandfather this time. Your father doesn't dare to get close to you and cause trouble!"

"…Mother tried every possible means before your grandfather agreed to let your great aunt help with training. When you go to Henan Prefecture, you must please your great aunt. When she dies, mother will put everything she left behind in your name!"

I've only been here for two days, and because of that bitch, not only did my great-aunt recognize me as her granddaughter, but she also made me look bad time and time again. She's really asking for death!

There was a vicious light in Feng Meir's eyes!

Gu Dalian and his two siblings met in the space at night and discussed for a long time. They felt that Feng Qinglan should be their great-aunt, and Feng Meir was the daughter of the impostor!

Now, Feng Yuzhi, who was far away in Beijing, sneezed continuously and thought he had a cold. His wife Huang Lexuan beside him said gently:

"My dear husband, what's wrong with you? You may have caught a cold. Let Xuan'er put on more clothes for you!"

Feng Yuzhi didn't feel cold and waved his hand to refuse!

At the beginning, Feng Yuzhi was not very talented, but he fell in love with Han Muyan, the second daughter of Duke Han of the Han Dynasty, a talented woman in the capital!

However, his father, who had just been promoted to Prime Minister, firmly refused to agree and made the decision directly, sending a matchmaker to the home of Huang Jijiu, a minor official of the sixth rank, to propose marriage to his beloved daughter Huang Lexuan!

Thinking of this, Feng Yuzhi felt resentful. His mother and father had lived in separate houses for so many years, and they had quarreled countless times over his marriage, but they were all suppressed by his father!

Huang Lexuan is actually quite good-looking, and Feng Yuzhi accepted his wife's gentleness and thoughtfulness in his heart!

However, the mother was extremely dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law who was born in a poor family, especially after she gave birth to two daughters in succession. She was even more picky and wanted to find a woman from a wealthy family as a concubine for her son!

Unexpectedly, my father set down a family rule that starting from Feng Yuzhi's generation, the Feng family is prohibited from taking concubines. Otherwise, their names will be removed from the Feng family tree!

It was unbelievable. Wasn't it normal for the country of Da Rong to marry a wife and take a concubine? There were many wealthy families who had three or four wives, but why did the Feng family only marry the daughter of a minor official and not allow concubines? It was so depressing!

As for Gu Dalian, with the help of Aunt Avi, she found a craftsman and started the decoration work!

Gu Wenzhi and his classmates review their lessons every day!

In a blink of an eye, it’s the day of the provincial examination!

The prefectural examination was held in the prefecture that governed the county and was presided over by the prefect. The registration and guarantee of the prefectural examination were similar to those of the county examination, but one more student had to be guaranteed. After passing the prefectural examination, one could take the academy examination.

Principal Hu and Instructor Chen brought the students who were taking the exam. The family members of the candidates who were able to do so gave their children various instructions, which were nothing more than to pay more attention and drink less water so as not to affect the exam!

Gu Dalian prepared a lunch box for her second brother, Li Shaohua, Liu Shengzhi, Pu Qing, and Hu Shaojie. This exam would take a whole day, and if they didn't eat well, they might not have the energy to deal with the exam!

Li Shaohua was feeling anxious. He put his hands together before entering the venue and prayed, "Don't get a bad number!"

Gu Dalian was a little confused. After all the candidates entered the examination room, she grabbed Teacher Chen to help her solve her doubts!

Teacher Chen did not shirk his responsibility and began to speak:

"The dung bucket for candidates to relieve themselves was at the end of the Imperial Examination Hall. The room closest to the bucket was called the "stinky room". It was filled with a foul odor and was infested with mosquitoes and flies. Unless one had extraordinary concentration, one would not be able to concentrate on the exam."

"Oh, so everyone is just afraid of drawing a bad number which will affect their performance!" Gu Dalian was really enlightened!

There was still a lot of things to do in about a day, so Gu Dalian no longer waited outside the examination room and went to the decoration shop again!

When Gu Wenzhi and others entered the examination room, their situations were different!

This is the first step for many children of common people to make the leap to success. Since ancient times, most of the people who took imperial examinations were nobles, and common people had very little money or resources!

Therefore, some families use all their family resources to support a scholar, and some even use the entire clan's resources in the hope that someone in the family will have a career in officialdom to change their poor fate!

Gu Wenzhi had bad luck today and was drawn a shitty number. When he heard number 110, he frowned, looked at the seat number list calmly, found his own room and walked in.

The shed is three feet wide and four feet deep, the back wall is eight feet high, and the front eaves are about six feet high. This is his battlefield today!

The weather wasn't too hot, but there was a toilet next door and the stench was still overwhelming!

I secretly sprinkled some of the odor-removing spices my sister prepared around the room, and there would be no problem!

"What's going on? Why is he candidate number 112?"

As the official of the provincial capital, Guo Jing was the chief examiner of the Imperial Examination Hall today. He remembered that Gu Wenzhi's room was No. 42, so how come it became No. 112? He quickly called the officials to come and inquire!

"...This... Sir... I don't know what's going on?!"

Seeing this man hesitate to speak, Guo Jing got angry and said, "Tell the truth!"

The officer hurriedly leaned over to Guo Jing's ear and said:

"Sir, Aunt Gu sent someone to give me some money, asking me to give the stinky hole to Gu Wenzhi! I didn't dare to touch the money, please forgive me!"

As he said this, he prepared to steal the five taels of silver back!

Guo Jing was filled with anger. He asked the officer to go aside and warned him not to make any more small moves!

I was furious: "Gu Damei, you actually put your hand into the examination room and looked at me to see if I was dead?"

On second thought, although this examination room looks clean, it is actually a battlefield. If Gu Wenzhi cannot even overcome this kind of difficulty, he will not be able to cope with the officialdom in the future, and he will let down Brother Lin's expectations of him!

Let's see what he does this time!

Gu Damei, who was in the backyard of the mansion, was eating snacks with a smug look on her face, muttering to herself as she ate:

"Gu Wenzhi, I think you can't write any good articles in your stinking account. Fortunately, my fourth uncle sent someone to inform me in advance, otherwise, I really wouldn't know you came to the capital city!"

Gu Damei recalled what her fourth uncle had said:

"…Fourth uncle won't harm you. My classmate has found a way to make you Mr. Guo's concubine. Even if Mr. Guo wants to save that man's face, he won't do anything to you. When you find a way to get pregnant with a boy or a girl, you will have established yourself. Then your parents will have a good life!"

In fact, Gu Damei was unwilling to do so at first. "I would rather be the wife of a commoner than a concubine of a rich family," her mother taught her!

But later, after being harassed by grandma, the mother changed her mind and just wanted her daughter to stay away from the cannibalistic old Gu family!

All the changes started with the rebellion of the brothers and sisters from the second house. If they had behaved obediently and remained the same as before, they would have been the ones to suffer!

Thinking about it, Gu Damei felt extremely angry!
