Farming and reading lady
Chapter 42: A safe and secure autumn exam
Not to mention that the four of them had a very enjoyable meal, Mother Wang, who had returned home earlier, had already arranged everything, so they could take a rest when they got home.
Princess Xianyun showed up for no apparent reason and then disappeared. She returned to the princess's mansion in her own carriage and had a tantrum. Those bitches actually ignored her threats and dared to show up in the capital. Well, very good, then she would let them know which people they could never afford to offend.
After having a great temper tantrum in the room, Princess Xianyun came to the small Buddhist temple in the side courtyard of the princess's mansion. On the temple hung a portrait of a noble lady in gorgeous clothes. The woman in the painting had her brows tightly furrowed, and her pair of almond-shaped eyes, which should have been very beautiful, instead had a creepy light in them, making her look deep and gloomy, and even the noble aura brought by the gorgeous clothes seemed to be faintly defeated.
Princess Xianyun lit a stick of incense and put it in the incense burner in front of the portrait, but she did not kneel down. Instead, she stared at the portrait with a grim smile: "Mother, those little mice are coming. Xianyun will definitely treat them well for you. Don't worry, they are just gutter stuff. I don't believe they can cause any trouble."
As he spoke, he let out a terrifying laugh, which echoed in the dark little Buddhist temple, making it even more terrifying.
Gu Xihao's autumn exam came quietly. It was still Tong's wife and Gu Xixian who sent him there. This time, there were more people. Students from all over the country came in droves. The housing prices in the capital more than doubled. Gu Xixian stood in the carriage and looked forward. He only saw a black crowd of heads. Even the door of the examination hall was blocked somewhere. He sighed in his heart that the imperial examinations of the ancients were much more difficult than the college entrance examinations in his previous life.
"Master's wife, sister, I'm going in. Don't stay here. It's too messy." Gu Xihao bowed to Master's wife and gave a few instructions to Tong Yi who was driving the coach.
"Hao'er, just take care of yourself. Master's wife will keep an eye on Xian'er." Master's wife Tong was helpless. Hao'er was just too mature at such a young age.
"That's right, brother, go quickly. I will definitely listen to what Master's wife says." Gu Xixian pushed him with her little hand. Her brother was becoming more and more nagging.
Taking the box of books necessary for the exam handed to him by the servant next to him, Gu Xihao shook his head and squeezed into the crowd. The two women in this family were both trouble-making people, and he was really worried about them.
While the autumn examination was being held amid the students' hard work and the public's attention, a new work by Xianqing Jushi, titled "Wild Fun", was exhibited in the gallery on East Street, attracting the attention of a new round of literati and scholars in Beijing. The masters of the painting world also participated in the evaluation, and they all agreed that if one did not experience it deeply, it would be impossible to paint such an essence. Where does the inspiration for creation come from? Of course, it comes from life. The reason why they can't reach new heights is that they have lived in idleness for too long and have lost the taste of fireworks in the world. Xianqing Jushi asked them to do a deep self-reflection.
Finally, this painting was bought by East Street Gallery at a high price.
Gu Xixian, who had a lot of money coming in, smiled so hard that her teeth almost fell out. She never thought that after traveling through time, she would have the potential to become a rich woman.
Gu Xihao, who was taking the exam, was not so lucky. When he took the room number card and sat down, he saw the eye-catching "Toilet" sign next to him. Fortunately, his sister had prepared everything, including cotton balls and a big mask.
After entering the room, the cramped space made him feel very depressed. It was normal for a tall person to be restricted. Fortunately, he had not grown up yet, so he still had some room to turn around in such a space. There were still so many candidates waiting to be checked outside, and it was still too early to leave for the exam. After putting away his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, he closed his eyes and took a nap.
By the time the test questions were handed out, he had rested enough. After analyzing the questions carefully, he put down the test paper. He first pinched a small cotton ball and stuffed it into his nose, then took out a large single-layer pure white mask and put it on, and then he carefully ground the ink and picked up the pen. He had done similar questions countless times at home, but even though he was confident, he did not rush for success. Instead, he wrote every stroke with extreme caution. Even though he was still writing on manuscript paper, he was not careless at all. The exams at this time were different from those in the previous life. If you made a mistake in writing a word, you could still correct it, but if you made a mistake in writing a word, you would lose a lot of impression points. Since it was the first day and his bad name was not so real, he took the time to crack the second question after finishing the first question. In this way, near dusk, he had roughly typed all the drafts.
By the second day, the smell nearby had gradually become stronger. Even though he had made all the necessary preparations, he still felt a little uncomfortable from the smell. His mind was a little confused, but fortunately all he had to do that day was copying, so he just had to be careful and keep his hands steady.
On the third day, he deeply felt the sense of luck that he was not suffocated to death. After carefully checking the test paper, he carefully covered it with a square piece of kraft paper. His sister had said that there are always unexpected events. Although it is almost impossible for the examination room of the autumn examination to leak, he still did it just in case. Fortunately, he did it, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
The emergency occurred when the examiner came down to collect the papers. The door curtain of his room was lifted, and a large cup of water was poured in from outside. The water was poured skillfully, not on him who was standing at the door, but directly on the test papers on his desk.
Then there was a series of trembling apologies: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, brother, my foot slipped just now, and my hand also slipped."
Gu Xihao squinted his eyes and looked over. He saw a tall young man holding a bowl dripping with water in his hand. He looked at him with panic in his eyes, but also with a little pride of success. "This happened suddenly. Can you forgive me, brother?"
"If you can just say sorry and force others to forgive you for ruining my future, then what is the meaning of this autumn exam?" The veins on his fists were bulging, but Gu Xihao spoke slowly: "I guess this brother comes from a wealthy family and doesn't value the hard work of students like me."
"Hey, little brother, I didn't do it on purpose. I just accidentally splashed water on you. Why are you making such a fuss?" It seems that he has a strong backer. Even in this situation, he is still so arrogant.
"What you mean by careless and what you mean by not intentional is that you opened the curtain of my room and poured water directly on my test paper. This brother is really good at it." He is low-key, but not afraid of trouble.
"So what do you want?" the young man raised his chin provocatively.
"It's nothing, I just hope you won't get into trouble again." He rang the bell for the exam room, waited for the examiner to come over, and took the brown paper off the table under his supervision, then picked up his own exam paper and carefully put it into the exam paper bag that was issued, sealed it, and handed it to the examiner. After watching him walk to the invigilator and hand in his paper, he slowly packed up his things and walked out of the exam room, ignoring the surprise and insolence on the young man's face, and left him.
