Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

"What do you think, brother?"

Gu Yan raised the corners of his lips slightly, his eyes full of smiles, and said slowly: "It's feasible, Qingqing, you might as well consider making a series based on this style."

Hearing this, Gu Qingzhi suddenly slapped his head as if he had suddenly been enlightened. His confidence increased instantly, and he responded excitedly:

“Okay! I’ll make a series of savory pastries based on this idea when I get back.

It’s time for our pastry shop to add some new varieties!”

After Gu Cheng and his group finished dinner at home, Gu Cheng did not say much, but only asked Gu Yan to go back to his room and rest early after dinner.

Seeing this, the others naturally did not dare to disturb them. They finished their meal and returned to their rooms.

At this moment, Gu Yan was holding the calming sachet made by Gu Qingzhi in his hand, lying quietly on the bed, feeling extremely calm and peaceful in his heart.

He couldn't help thinking: Tomorrow will be another beautiful day!

The next morning, sunlight shone through the window into the study, and Gu Yan was reading a book intently.

However, at this moment, Gu Qingzhi could not suppress her curiosity and anticipation and wanted to go out to see the results.

After all, this was the first time in her life that she had personally experienced such a major event as the Imperial Examination!

The original plan was to wait until the right time and then quietly take the maid Xiaotao to check it out.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Gu Yan came out of the study and said to her: "Qingqing, let's go!"

For a moment, Gu Qingzhi was a little dazed and asked in confusion: "Brother, where are we going?"

Gu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and replied with a smile: "Don't you want to go and see the results?"

Hearing this, Gu Qingzhi immediately stood up excitedly and responded repeatedly: "Go! Go! Go!"

She was afraid that her brother would not take her with him if she was late for a second.

However, this time, the brother and sister did not take a carriage, but walked towards the Imperial Examination Hall with Xiaotao and their follower Kaiyang.

When we arrived near the Imperial Examination Hall, although the test results had not yet been announced, many people had already gathered around.

Surprisingly, most of the people in the crowd were vendors.

Gu Qingzhi couldn't help but sigh: "These people are really good at business!"

Gu Yan looked around and his eyes finally fell on the teahouse opposite the Imperial Examination Hall.

He pulled Gu Qingzhi up without hesitation and went up to the second floor of the teahouse.

Perhaps because we arrived relatively early, there were not many customers on the second floor of the teahouse.

They quickly found a seat near the window and sat down.

This seat has an excellent view, and one can take in the surrounding scenery from a high vantage point, and it faces the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall opposite.

At that time, the red list will be posted on the wall next to the gate.

After Gu Yan ordered a pot of fragrant flower tea and a few plates of exquisite and delicious snacks, he sat down with Gu Qingzhi and chatted while enjoying the scenery outside the window.

Suddenly, Gu Qingzhi recalled a rumor she had heard before, and asked Gu Yan curiously, "Brother, I heard that the students in the imperial academy can receive a fixed amount of four strings of silver from the court as a subsidy every year. Is this true?"

Gu Yan smiled slightly and nodded gently to show his affirmation.

Seeing his sister's big watery eyes blinking with curiosity, he asked softly, "Are you interested in this, Qingqing?"

Gu Qingzhi nodded vigorously and replied, "Of course, I am very curious!"

It is so novel that the court actually gave money to students for studying!

Besides, after all, my brother is taking the imperial examination now!

You know, she would be very interested in anything that has to do with her brother.

"Hmm..." Gu Yan slowly lowered his eyes, staring quietly at Gu Qingzhi in front of him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

Well, since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well take this opportunity to explain this matter in detail to my sister.

"My dear, the academy students are a category of students in the imperial examination system of our Great Qi State.

It mainly refers to those students who were given food allowances and subsidies by the court.

In our Da Qi, if a scholar's grades are among the best and he ranks first, he will be called a student on government stipend.

Moreover, these students can also receive a stipend from the imperial court, and every month they have food to subsidize their daily living expenses."

Having said that, Gu Yan paused for a moment, then turned his head to glance at Gu Qingzhi. He saw that Gu Qingzhi was staring at him intently with a hint of smile in her eyes. At this time, his sister really looked like a serious student.

He went on to say: "Specifically speaking, the benefits that the students can enjoy include the following aspects.

First of all, you can be exempted from corvee labor.

In other words, the students on government stipend do not have to undertake certain labor tasks like other people. This not only greatly reduces their own financial pressure, but also allows them to concentrate more on their studies.

Secondly, you can enjoy free accommodation and food.

Generally speaking, most of the students on government stipends lived in Confucian schools in the provincial capital or county towns, received instruction from school officials, and took academic examinations and received training on a regular basis as required.

Not only do they have free housing, but they also receive a certain amount of food as a subsidy every month, which is the so-called "granary food". Every month, they have six dou of rice. In addition, as you just mentioned, there is a subsidy of four strings of silver per year!"

After finishing speaking, Gu Yan once again turned his gaze to his sister beside him. Seeing that she was very serious, he said a few more words.

"In addition, the students can also enjoy fish, meat, salt, vinegar and other daily necessities supplied by the court."

"Wow, I'm being treated so well!" Gu Qingzhi couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

She originally did not have any special feelings about the exemption from corvée labor mentioned earlier, but now that she knew she could still receive food from the government stipend, she was very excited.

After all, there is both silver and rice here, not to mention that you can also get the things you need for daily life. "Brother, if you can become a student of the imperial academy, that would be amazing!"

"Yeah," Gu Yan raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile to show his agreement.

"It is indeed very good. The generous treatment provided by our Great Qi not only demonstrates the court's intention to reward and support outstanding students.

It also creates a relatively superior learning and living environment for the majority of students.

At least it will allow scholars to not have to endure the hardship of life and can devote themselves to their studies, thereby further improving their knowledge level and ability quality. "
