Farming and reading lady

As he walked out of the examination hall, Gu Xihao saw the little figure standing on the edge of the carriage waving at him from a distance. His sister was always like this, relying on her young age to follow the master's wife and act casually. But, what could he do? He could only spoil his sister. With a smile on his face, he quickly squeezed out of the crowd. The examination basket on his body had already been taken away by the servant waiting at the entrance of the examination hall.

"Brother, you have worked hard. Come up quickly." Gu Xixian stretched out his hand to pull him. Gu Xihao jumped onto the carriage. Tong Mingyan and his wife were looking at him with a smile. He saluted quickly: "Teacher, Master's wife."

"Sit down." Tong Mingyan waved his hand for him to sit down. Seeing that he was in good condition, he asked, "How do you feel about this game?"

"I'm 90% sure." Gu Xihao didn't think there was anything to hide on this point.

Tong Mingyan nodded: "Then go back and have a good rest. As long as you can keep calm, there shouldn't be any surprises in the next two games."

Gu Xihao nodded, and hesitantly told me what happened in the examination hall: "Teacher, when the examiner started collecting the papers, a small accident happened... Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this was definitely not an accident, and that person obviously has a backer. Except for the fear in his eyes when he saw that my paper was fine, he was very proud at the beginning."

"What? There is such a thing?" Before Tong Mingyan could even open his mouth, Yin Xueruo was so angry that she slammed the table and stood up: "Which bastard would do such a thing to ruin someone's future?"

Gu Xihao and his sister were startled. Gu Xixian hesitated and said, "Could it be the one who ordered it that my grandfather mentioned?"

Tong Mingyan shook his head: "Although I am not close friends with that person, I can be sure of his character. He would never do such a thing to embarrass you youngsters."

"Who could it be?" The brother and sister are so low-key, who could they have offended?

"No matter who it is, if they do this, we cannot tolerate it. Tong Yi, drive to the Zhenguo Mansion." This bullying has come to her head. How can she suppress her temper? Tong Mingyan hurriedly comforted her: "Madam, Madam, calm down first. We haven't figured out the whole thing yet."

"What's the point of trying to figure it out? By the time you figure it out, Hao'er might have been bullied to death." Yin Xueruo couldn't stand this. Not to mention how she would explain to Xianniang if something happened to the child, she herself couldn't stand this kind of thing.

Tong Mingyan had a headache. His beloved wife had such a bad temper that he couldn't control her. He quickly winked at Gu Xixian. This little girl might be the only one who could soften her.

After receiving the teacher's eye instructions, Gu Xixian quickly pulled the teacher's wife's hand and said coquettishly: "Teacher's wife, I'm hungry. Let's go back and have a meal before talking about other things."

Gu Xihao was also a little embarrassed and acted like a spoiled child: "Master's wife, Hao'er is a little tired, can we go home first?"

Facing the two pairs of similar big eyes, Yin Xueruo's heart melted. What else could she do? She could just go home first.

On the way back, Gu Xixian was peeling melon seeds for his master's wife while saying, "Maybe Sun Qiaorong and Lu Jiaojiao are the ones who did something bad. I don't know why, but they always dislike me."

"It's not them." This guess was directly rejected by the master's wife: "They don't have the courage, nor the ability."

"Aren't there still the Grand Tutor and Lord Lu?" Gu Xixian was puzzled. She could understand that they were cowardly, but they should still have some abilities, after all, the people behind those two were also big shots.

Yin Xueruo smiled: "That's because you don't understand the situation. The Grand Master wouldn't think highly of a granddaughter whose value he hasn't seen yet. It's totally impossible for him to fight your teacher for her. As for Lord Lu... Hehe, he just shouts loudly. If he were to fight your teacher in a one-on-one duel, he wouldn't have the guts."

She is very proud of this. Her husband is not an ordinary person either. He came from a poor family in the countryside and has risen to his current position. How can his ability be compared to that of ordinary people?

After the teacher's wife finished speaking, Gu Xixian started to flatter his teacher with starry eyes, saying things like he was the best stick in the world, he was more intelligent than Zhuge Liang, he beat Zhang Liang with schemes, he was extremely talented, he could rule the world with his literary talent... Teacher's wife Tong's mouth twitched when she heard this. Although she also thought that her husband was one in a million, this was a bit too exaggerated.

Tong Mingyan scolded her for being so smooth-talking when she was just a kid, but he couldn't stop smiling and was extremely happy in his heart. It was such a great feeling to be admired by his little disciple.

Gu Xihao, who was ignored on the side, was very ashamed. If his sister wanted to coax people with her mouth, she would be tricked into taking her home as a quilt.

Gu Xixian: Brother, you’re too kind. I just took a little course in psychology.

The topic was successfully changed and everyone in the car was filled with joy.

What they didn't know was that after Gu Xihao left, the student who targeted him in the examination room was taken away without even leaving the examination hall.

In a secret room in the examination hall, a young student was kneeling on the ground, sweating all over, and his body was shaking. In front of him, all the examiners were sitting.

"Xianyang Wang Zhengdao." A middle-aged examiner beside him read out the name on the test paper and shook his head in disappointment, "You, don't live up to the name."

"Sir, I..." Wang Zhengdao's face was pale. He thought that this matter had not been successful and he might be punished by that person, but he didn't expect that he didn't even have the chance to report.

"You don't have to use carelessness as an excuse in front of everyone. Tell me, who told you to do this?" This was the examiner sitting in the middle - the serious-looking Shangshu Fu Zongtang. Regardless of the fact that her little girl and Gu Yatou were good friends, based on his friendship with Tong Mingyan, he would not allow such a person to have the opportunity to do something weird again, not to mention that God had specifically indicated that the Gu family kid should be kept safe within a reasonable range.

Wang Zhengdao was extremely frightened. He lowered his head but did not speak. If he took responsibility for this matter, perhaps he could still protect his family. If he spoke, he would not be able to bear the consequences.

The person in front of him seemed to know what he was thinking: "Haha, do you think you can keep your family safe by not speaking? You disrupted the examination room for no reason and ruined people's future maliciously. Do you think the emperor who is eager to recruit talents will allow people like you to exist? Do you think a family that raises people like you will have a good ending? Do you want to protect your family or the people behind you? You have to think clearly."

Wang Zhengdao looked up in astonishment, then lowered his head again, muttering to himself, "So I'm on a path that will lead to my death."

It was a dead end from the beginning. It was ridiculous that he was so short-sighted that he thought he had climbed a ladder to heaven, but he didn't know it was a bottomless abyss. His mind flashed with the pale and thin figures of his parents, brothers and sisters-in-law who had to support his education. He burst into tears, leaned over to the ground, and said in a hoarse voice: "Sir, I confess. My parents, brothers and sisters-in-law are all kind and innocent people. I hope you can save their lives."

He knew it was forced, but it was the only thing he could do.
