Traveling through ancient times

Three days later, the results were announced!

Xu Xiuhe and Xuan Ming relied on their agility to squeeze to the front row!

Gu Dalian bought a history book specifically to check this era, but nothing matched. Maybe she had traveled to another world!

When the results were announced, List B was posted first. The two of them looked through it carefully and found nothing!

He waited patiently for the yamen runner to post the A list, and when he checked it against Gu Wenzhi's seat number, he couldn't help but shout out in joy:

"Master, the first place in the case, the first place in the case..."

Time seemed to stand still. The other people present followed the two people's gaze and focused on Gu Wenzhi, with a look of surprise on their faces.

Just now everyone was discussing who was the winner of this case. Gu Wenzhi was delighted, with the corners of his mouth raised, unable to suppress his joy!

At this moment, several of my classmates shouted:

“It’s on the list!”

So, several people from Shannan County congratulated each other, making the people around them even more envious!

At this time, Liu Shengzhi also squeezed out from the crowd with a smile on his face, and he seemed to be in a very good mood!

Gu Wenzhi looked in and said:

"It seems that Brother Liu is also on the list?"

Liu Shengzhi nodded in agreement!

More than a dozen people came from Shannan County this time, and twelve of them were on the list, which made them famous overnight!

Amid the envious, jealous and hateful gazes of the crowd, the few of them sped away in a carriage!

Everything has been settled here. The college entrance examination will not start until August. Everyone has bought what they needed during the three days of rest. There is no need to waste any more time and we agreed to return home the next day!

Gu Wenzhi was worried about his elder sister being alone in the city, so he decided to stay and help, and return to the academy after everything was settled. Naturally, Gu Lun stayed as well!

The days in April rise early, the sun is bright and the sky is cloudless!

Gu Dalian still had to wait for her own people to arrive and see off Hu Shiwei and his group. The three siblings planned to visit Guo Jing again before the employees arrived, even though he had put them in the shit line!

Guo Jing did not expect that the Gu brothers and sisters would come to visit again. Ever since he heard what Aunt Gu said, although he admired Gu Wenzhi's literary talent very much, he was skeptical about his character!

This time, adhering to the principles of fairness and justice, as well as Lin Shiyu's face, he temporarily put aside his prejudice against Gu Wenzhi and gave him the first place in the case!

The three siblings were received in the reception room of the government office. Facing the three of them, Guo Jing's expression was unusually distant!

"Gu Wenzhi, congratulations on becoming a Tongsheng. I hope you will keep up the good work and strive to win the top three prizes in August!"

Gu Wenzhi hurriedly stood up and saluted:

"Thank you for your cultivation. Wen Zhiding will study hard and strive to live up to your high expectations!"

"Although you are a brilliant writer, you must first cultivate your mind before you can cultivate yourself, and you must first correct yourself before you can correct others. You must not take a detour!"

Gu Wenzhi nodded in agreement, but he couldn't help feeling confused. He didn't understand why the prefect said so!

Gu Dalian thought about the last time she met Gu Damei, and understood a little bit of the reason. She smiled and said:

"Sir, listen to what you said. There are some things I don't understand, and I want to ask you for your advice!"

"you say!"

"I want to tell you a story first..."

"…There was a family where a couple had four sons and one daughter. He treated the eldest, third, fourth, and daughter like treasures, but he treated the second son harshly and harshly since he was a child!…"

Guo Jing was now interested and sat up to listen. Gu Dalian continued:

"Until one day, the second son got married and was chased by the old couple to a leaky woodshed! Their whole family lived in a mud house. Although it was not good, it was warm and bright! Only the second wife was treated like an animal every day. All the work for the whole family was done by her family, but they were beaten and scolded every day. They ate the least and did the most work..."

At this point, Gu Dalian couldn't help but shed tears. Her porcelain-like face was filled with sadness, and tears hung on her long eyelashes!

Gu Lun already knew that his elder sister was telling his own family story. He was heartbroken. He slid down from the chair and walked to his elder sister. He reached out and held her hand, saying distressedly:

"Sister, don't be sad!"

Gu Dalian rubbed Gu Lun's face, smiled slightly, and continued:

"In the year of the great disaster, the woman from the second house just suggested that we should prepare to flee the famine in advance, but the old woman hit her on the head with a fire stick, a big hole was poked, and she died on the spot..."

Gu Dalian's tears were streaming down her face, and Gu Lun couldn't wipe them away even with his handkerchief!

Gu Wenzhi's eyes were filled with tears, he bit his lips tightly, clenched his fists, and his body was shaking slightly!

Guo Jing looked at this situation, what else could he not understand? This girl was just talking about her own family affairs! He did not interrupt and continued to listen!

"…The second son barely pieced his wife together with some thin boards and put her inside. He and his children dug a grave and buried her. No one from the family showed up!…"

"…After the second brother died, he was not even allowed to enter the ancestral grave. He was buried next to his mother's grave, leaving four brothers and sisters alone. In order to find a way out for his brothers and sisters, the eldest brother left at night to join the army!"

"The remaining three people followed that large family to escape the famine. They only had two meals in three days, which was just enough for them to survive. They barely avoided starvation!"

Guo Jing frowned until he heard Gu Dalian say, "Boss, if you fail to poison, it will hurt yourself." Then he thought of what Gu Damei said about poisoning!

When he heard Gu Dalian say that the eldest aunt was going to poison the brothers and sisters to death, and that she had ignored the dozens of workers who were helping, he became furious and could not help but say:

"What a snake-hearted person!"

Gu Dalian sneered and said, "Sir, you probably have guessed it. The story I told you is actually about our family. If we hadn't been married, we brothers and sisters would have become a handful of yellow earth in the mountains!"

Guo Jing looked at the little face that used to be full of smiles but was now covered with tears, all of which were true feelings. He thought for a moment and said:

"Is there anyone named Damei among these rooms?"

Gu Dalian looked up. Her face, which had been wiped by Gu Lun, was still wet, and her eyes were red.

"Gu Damei is the eldest daughter of the first wife. She is two years older than me and is fifteen this year. She used to be the one who bullied my two sisters. However, since this year, I have not seen her in Cuiyu Village anymore!"

Guo Jing is only thirty-two years old this year. It is not for nothing that he has climbed to the position of a prefect. He can tell which is real and which is fake!

In her heart, she disliked Gu Damei, and she admired the fact that the Gu brothers and sisters could achieve what they have today despite the adversity. She smiled broadly:

"If you need anything in the future, just come to me!"

He was also a man of swift and decisive actions. He immediately called the servant over and gave orders, asking people to remember the young Gu family members. This really brought honor to the Gu brothers and sisters!

"Sir, I plan to open my business in a few days, and I would like to shamelessly ask you for a copy of my calligraphy!"

Guo Jing thought to himself, this girl is really... ahem... thick!

So he asked someone to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and happily wrote according to what Gu Dalian said: Lianrui Jewelry Building! Lianrui Clothing Store! Lianrui Curtain World!

The woman who was in tears just now is now in the sunshine, as if the sky has cleared up after the rain, which is very interesting to watch!
