After the cannon fodder fell into my arms

ten,

Xie Changyue's eyes widened: "I saw it, really?"

Wang Xu was shocked: "You stand here and can see the words on the round table on the opposite wall clearly. What kind of eyes are you?"

Gu Siyuan: "Human eyes."

Wang Xu didn't bother with him: "In that case, my seat number is Lu Shiqi, so you can help me take a look."

Without moving his eyes, Gu Siyuan said directly, "I see."

Wang Xu rolled his eyes, angry at his friend's nonsense: "You didn't even look down."

Gu Siyuan said lightly: "Because they are close to me, they were scanned together before."

Wang Xu: "Then tell me, how many names am I in?"

At this moment, the two servants who were reading the list below rushed up: "Master, Master, you are No.2..."

The corner of Wang Xu's mouth twitched. He wanted to laugh but forced himself to hold back. He covered it with a folding fan, coughed lightly, and said, "It's okay, so-so."

The other students waiting on this floor looked sideways, are they looking for a fight?

Wang Xu asked the boy again, "Where's Brother Gu?"

The servant took a look at him, and then said softly: "Uncle Gu is the chief of the case."

"Damn." Wang Xu cursed.

Although I had some guesses when I learned that I was No.2, but I was still unwilling for no reason.

He looked at Gu Siyuan's cold and calm face, and asked doubtfully, "Did you really see your ranking just now, and saw that I was right next to you?"

Gu Siyuan took a sip of tea, and his tone was as cold as ever: "Why did you lie to you about this kind of thing!"

"Damn." Wang Xu swears for the second time, "Are you a human being? After taking the county case test, it looks like ice has grown on your face. Even if you change it, it won't change."

Gu Siyuan: "It was expected, if not, it would be surprising."

Having said that, Wang Xu was completely speechless.

But Xie Changyue and Gu Er couple who were beside them recovered from the shock.

Xie Changyue threw herself on her husband suddenly: "Husband, you are the chief of the case, I knew that you are the most powerful."

Gu Siyuan quickly stretched out his arms to hug him.

Standing at the window, he dares to pounce like this, if he slips directly down later, he will...

Gu Er and Mu Xia almost trembled all over, clasped their hands tightly, and couldn't help sighing: "Yang'er, it's so good, it's so good!"

Gu Siyuan nodded to the two: "Dad and father have worked hard these years."

The two shook their heads quickly.

Wang Xu reminded from the side: "Brother Gu, you'd better go home at this time, the county chief has documents to prove it, and the county magistrate will send yamen servants to deliver the good news."

Gu Er hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, go home and go home, thank you young master."

Wang Xu shook his head.

Gu Siyuan hugged him with a fist: "See you at the Academy."

"See you at the academy." Wang Xu also clasped his fists, and reminded: "There is no need to be in a hurry on the way. The usual yamen servants will not come to the door until noon."

"it is good."

Since he said that there is no need to be in a hurry, Gu Siyuan went to Anping Academy first, which happened to be on Shushi Street, and he had to pay homage to his teacher.

Those students who participated in the county examination were on vacation, but the rest of the academy still attended classes normally.

Gu Siyuan went directly to see Mr. Chen. Although Mr. Chen had some expectations and guesses about his trial chief in Zhongxian County, he was still overjoyed to hear it with his own ears.

Rarely praised him a few words, and later encouraged him not to get carried away from now on, and after a few days, he will continue to return to the academy to attend classes.

Gu Siyuan should be one by one.

After that, Gu Siyuan hurried back to Huangyang Village with his family.

Although he knew that there was time, when Gu Er was driving the ox cart, it was obviously faster than usual.

The four of them went out to the county town to read the list in the morning, then went to the academy, and rushed back from the county town. When they arrived outside the Gu family courtyard, it was not too late.

"Hey, I'm back. Wouldn't it be a shame to win the first case for this mobilizer?" Li Xiangtao sat at the door and sneered.

Xie Changyue looked up at her, and suddenly smiled strangely: "No wonder, it seems that I have to thank my aunt for her kind words before going out in the morning."

Gu Er and Mu Xia also smiled lightly.

Seeing them like this, Li Xiangtao was stunned: "You... what do you mean?"

Xie Changyue said sincerely: "Isn't this thanking my aunt for her prayers? Husband really won the county trial case."

"Haha..." Li Xiangtao was shocked at first, and then burst into laughter: "Only by him, he can win the first case, and he won't make a manuscript when he lies."

My own Zhen'er was praised by his master for his intelligence since he was a child, and he only got third place in the county examination. How could Gu Yang, who can't beat a dull fart and has never heard a word praised by his master, get the first place in the case?

The head of the county examination case heard that he could directly obtain the fame of Tongsheng without taking the government examination. If it was true, wouldn't Gu Yang be the same as Zhener?

How can this be?

Hehe, it's too fake...

Xie Changyue glanced at her lazily: "Laugh, laugh, anyway, the documents at the top of the desk will be delivered soon, Auntie remembers to start the fire early at noon, eat two more bowls of rice, don't lose your appetite then."

Seeing that he was still so sure, Li Xiangtao couldn't help but change his expression.

Could it be...really...

Gu's yard, near the entrance of the village.

At noon, Gu Siyuan and the others had just had lunch when they heard the sound of "da da" horseshoes and "dong dong" gongs from the village road.

Afterwards, a loud question was heard: "Is this Huangyang Village?"

Someone said yes.

He heard the voice shout again: "Master Gu of Huangyang Village is overjoyed, a certain one was ordered by the county magistrate to come to announce the good news, dare to ask Master Gu Yang's family, where does he live?"

Gu Siyuan led his family to welcome him out, but Mr. Gu's footsteps were even faster than him. When they went out, he had already brought the two yamen servants who announced the good news to the house.

As soon as he saw Gu Siyuan, the old man pointed at him and said, "This is Gu Yang, the little old man's grandson!"

The two yamen servants with red cloth strips tied on their bodies and holding gongs and paperwork immediately shouted: "Congratulations to Master Gu High School's current Wuqing County Examination Case Leader!"

Gu Siyuan cupped his hands: "You two have worked hard."

After finishing speaking, he handed over two things wrapped in red paper.

The two yamen servants squeezed, smiling brightly, and handed over the document with both hands: "Master Gu, please take it away."

After that, he left directly on horseback.

After the yamen servant left, the neighbors on the left and right dared to come out to watch, and at the same time, there were endless congratulatory words in their mouths.

After Gu Siyuan thanked each of them, he walked back to the yard.

It was Li Xiangtao's probing and unbelievable expression that caught his eye, he just pretended not to see it.

Mr. Gu said fawningly: "Yang'er did so well in the exam, shall we have a meal together tonight to celebrate?"

Gu Siyuan shook his head: "It's just the county exam, let's celebrate after the hospital exam."

Old man Gu's expression was suffocated.

Gu Siyuan didn't bother, and went straight back to his home.

However, he didn't mean to be angry with the old man on purpose, but to tell the truth. It's already the beginning of March, and the government exam will start in mid-April. However, the registration has to be one month in advance.

In other words, he will go to Tongzhou City in a few days.

Xie Changyue obviously thought of this too: "Husband, when are you going to Tongzhou?"

Gu Siyuan said: "Tomorrow, I will go back to the academy for class, and then I will go on my way with my classmates who are the county exam guarantors."

Xie Changyue nodded and felt relieved.

The next day, Gu Siyuan went to Anping Academy as usual.

This time, there were a total of more than ten people who participated in the county examination in the academy, and five people passed the main field, which is quite a high proportion.

There are just five people, and they can guarantee each other when they take the government examination, so they don't have to go outside to find other students.

Among these people, Gu Siyuan and Wang Xu happened to be the first or second place in the county test, which was quite eye-catching.

Presumably, in the coming year, or even without waiting for the next year, there will be a big jump in the number of college applicants.

Therefore, Qi Juren also specially invited them to the study room, and when he learned that Gu Siyuan, as the head of the county examination case, was going to take the government examination, his expression was uncertain, and he said: If the two are still ranked high in the government examination, When he came back, he taught the two of them himself.

Gu Siyuan naturally thanked him, and it is natural for Juren to teach the children, even if they pass the exam and then enter the government school, the one who will teach will still be Juren.

A few days later, a group of people took a carriage to Tongzhou. It was already noon when they arrived. After finding an inn for a short rest, they went to the government office to register.

Afterwards, he hurried back in a carriage again, and when Gu Siyuan arrived home, it was already dark.

Xie Changyue was alone, sitting on a chair by the door and waiting for him.

Gu Siyuan walked over, hugged him in his arms and walked into the house: "The weather is still cold, why do you stay outside, didn't you say that it might be late when you come back?"

Xie Changyue pouted: "Then I just want to wait for you."

Mu Xia gestured at the side: "Changyue hasn't had dinner yet."

Gu Siyuan patted his butt lightly: "Don't do this next time."

It was rare for Xie Changyue to bury her head in her husband's shoulder in embarrassment, hmph, really, for being such an adult, she still spanks...

Bringing out the warm food in the pot, Gu Siyuan and Xie Changyue finished the meal one bite at a time.

After washing and lying on the kang, Xie Changyue grabbed his sleeve and asked, "Husband, when will the government exam start?"

Gu Siyuan: "April [-]th."

Xie Changyue broke her slender and shiny fingers, and began to settle accounts: "The exam is on April [-]th, so at least April [-]th is going to Tongzhou. There are three government exams. The first two exams are for one day each, and the third exam is for two days. , and then I will continue to stay in Tongzhou, waiting for the ranking of the government test, so... I will be away from home for more than ten days..."

The more calculations, the more frustrated Xie Changyue became.

This time I went to Tongzhou, I was not familiar with the place, so my husband was not at ease to take him there.

Gu Siyuan pinched his cheek, and said softly: "So reluctant to part with me?"

"En." Xie Changyue nodded fiercely: "You came back late today, I miss you very much."

His feelings have always been straightforward, warm and unreserved.

Gu Siyuan's heart shrank slightly, he stretched out his hand to hold him in his arms, and lightly touched his forehead: "Be good."

Xie Changyue also raised her head and kissed his chin and Adam's apple bit by bit.

In the end, all the sadness of parting is still attributed to the dripping love and sweat.

Gu Siyuan started his academy life again.

There are three government exams, the first two are scripture postings and essays, and the last two-day exam is policy theory.

Gu Siyuan was already very familiar with posting scriptures and essays, so during the month before the exam, he went to the academy every day to focus on strategies.

The same is true for Wang Xu.

The progress of both of them was very impressive. In the end, it was difficult for Mr. Chen to pick out the mistakes. He said bluntly that after the test at the two people's house, he might be able to go directly to the examination institute.

The two looked at each other, this was their plan.

After Qi Juren heard about this, he simply started to guide the two of them ahead of schedule.

At this time, Xie Changyue had other things to divert his attention temporarily.

In late March, corn can begin planting for the first season of the year.

The family was separated this year, and their second family was allocated five acres of dry land and one acres of paddy fields.

Gu Er was very optimistic about the yield of corn, so he generously allocated three acres of land for Xie Changyue's experiments, the remaining two acres of dry land were planted with wheat as usual, and one mu of paddy field was used for raising seedlings, waiting for transplanting in May.

The branches and leaves on the tree finally sprouted, and in the overnight spring breeze, they slowly changed from light green to dark green.

It's April in the blink of an eye, and the temperature has warmed up.

The fragrance of Sophora japonica can be smelled everywhere in Huangyang Village. Children hang from the trees like swinging on a swing. They grab a large piece of white Sophora japonica and stuff it directly into their mouths. The sweet juice flows from the corners of their mouths to their collars.

April tenth.

Because they were leaving for Tongzhou tomorrow, Anping Academy gave the five of them a day off to rest at home and recharge their spirits.

Xie Changyue was in the room helping Gu Siyuan organize the things he brought to Fucheng.

In fact, it has been sorted out many times since the past few days, but he is always worried, for fear of missing something, so he checked it again and again.

In the yard outside, Gu Er handed something to his son, and said casually, "Don't hurt your hand at this time."

Gu Siyuan took the knife and shook his head: "No."

After finishing speaking, he went out mysteriously.

In the evening, Xie Changyue was lying in Gu Siyuan's arms, staring blankly with her mouth puffed out, but she found her hair was cold.

He hurriedly stretched out his hand to touch it, and found a cold and slender object. He held it in front of his eyes and said, "It's a hairpin..."

The wooden hairpin is polished smooth, and the head is a simple half-moon shape.

He immediately turned his head and looked at his husband happily: "You gave it to me?"

Gu Siyuan nodded, and said softly: "Why do you want to comfort the parting? The tortoiseshell hairpin behind the ear. Although it is not tortoiseshell, I made it myself."

"Husband..." Xie Changyue's eyes turned red immediately, and pitifully hugged Gu Siyuan tightly: "Husband, I like you so much."

Gu Siyuan touched his face: "Eat well at home, sleep well, and take care of each other with dad."

"Yeah." Xie Changyue nodded.

After he finished, he grabbed Gu Siyuan's big hand and put it on his body to rub it casually, humming and chirping: "Husband, come on, I know you like to do this, and you won't be able to do it for more than ten days soon, I will definitely do it tonight." I won't cry, as long as you want."

"..." Gu Siyuan.

Don't talk nonsense, is he this kind of person?

But... a beauty wins, how dare you refuse?

Gu Siyuan turned over and blocked Xie Changyue's sometimes pitiful and cute mouth, sometimes making people laugh and cry.

Maybe it was because he had too much fun the night before, when Gu Siyuan left the next day, Xie Changyue hadn't woken up yet.

For this government examination, Gu Er accompanied him to Tongzhou, and the two walked to the academy first, where they met the other four students who took the test.

Except for Wang Xu who brought two servants, the other three only brought their family members or a book boy. A group of more than a dozen people hired three carriages and headed for Tongzhou in a mighty way.

Because they had arranged for people to book an inn in Zhoucheng in advance, so after entering the city, the goals of the few people were very clear.

After having a meal at noon and taking a short rest, I set off to see the examination room of the Gongyuan.

After returning from the Gongyuan, on April [-]th, he rested at the inn for a day.

In the early morning of April [-]th, everyone got up early and lined up in the long line of examinees outside the Tribute Academy with their test baskets.

Huangyang Village.

Mu Xia looked at Erfulang who ran out again at noon, and couldn't help but smile, he was still young and energetic, and his husband had actually been separated for more than ten days.

When the villagers came back from the field with their hoes on their shoulders, they happened to pass by the entrance of the village and murmured together: "It's already 27 today. It's been fourteen days. It's not easy for a scholar to leave home for so long."

"Yeah... Brother Changyue has been waiting every day for the past few days!"

"The young couple have a good relationship!"

Xie Changyue was not used to it at first, but now she is able to turn a blind eye to these discussions.

He squatted beside the familiar boulder, staring at the official road in front of him.

Last summer, when my husband first went to the academy, he had been waiting here for two months every day.

It's just that after autumn, my husband won't allow him to wait any longer, and will worry about him.

Thinking of this, Xie Changyue had a sweet smile on his face.

At this moment, there was a sudden "rumbling" sound of carriages and horses on the official road.

Xie Changyue's eyes lit up, and she saw that the carriage was heading towards their village.

With another neigh, the horse raised its front hooves slightly and stopped immediately, followed by a tall and familiar figure jumping out of the carriage.

Gu Siyuan looked at the little husband standing at the entrance of the village in a daze, and stretched out his hands: "Come on, give me a hug, I miss you to death."
