"What are you looking at, why are you frowning?"

Xiao Xu's voice sounded at the door.

Gu Wanning frowned, raised his head and smiled at Xiao Xu: "You came back just in time." I have important matters to consult with you. ”

Xiao Xu walked over and glanced down: "What is written on this piece of paper?"

Gu Guanning picked up the paper and stuffed it into Xiao Xu's hand: "Look at it yourself." ”

Xiao Xu was a little surprised, but he didn't ask much, picked up the paper raft and looked at it. After reading it, his brows furrowed, and he looked at Gu Guanning fixedly: "Why did you ask people to check Zhou Liang?"

Gu Guanning didn't answer and asked, "Can't you guess?"

Xiao Xu: "......"

Xiao Xu silently picked up the paper raft and looked at it carefully over and over again......

"Are you going to watch it overnight?" Gu Wanning laughed and glared at Xiao Xu.

Xiao Xu's mood was obviously not very good, and he snorted lightly: "It's just that we met in Pingshui, and we only saw one side." How could Gillian like this Zhou Liang?"

Gu Wanning said lightly: "I remember you said that when you first saw me, you were already attached to me. It turned out to be all coaxing me. ”

Xiao Xu argued: "How can this be the same!"

"Why is it different?" Gu Wanning glanced over: "Gillian is your daughter, and her temperament is the same as yours, so it's not unusual." ”

"You saw Gillian's appearance last night, and she didn't say a word, like she had lost her soul. If it weren't for Zhou Liang, could it still be for Brother Qian's tiger head?"

Xiao Xu was finally speechless.

Gu Wanning was silent for a moment and sighed lightly: "Actually, I'm not very satisfied with this Zhou Liang. ”

"Both parents died, and there was only one sister, who was sent under the fence. The second uncle and aunt in the family are obviously not generous people, and the cousin named Zhou Xiao is not worth mentioning. From the perspective of family background, it is far inferior to Brother Qian's tiger head. ”

"It's just that Gillian likes him, and we as parents, it's inconvenient to blindly obstruct it. I have to see how this Zhou Liang makes a final conclusion first. ”

After a while, Xiao Xu nodded: "Okay! If Zhou Liang has real talent and real learning, he will be able to go to high school in this imperial examination." After that, there was a palace test, and I met him in person. If he doesn't even pass the test, he doesn't have to say anything. ”

Gu Guanning snorted.

……

Luo Fu.

"Strange, it's already dark, why did the tiger head come over? and said that he wanted to talk to Brother Qian at night?" Yao Ruozhu was a little surprised.

Luo Ting smiled disapprenosingly: "When the children are older, they always have their own secrets, and they don't want to tell us." Let them go!"

Yao Ruozhu nodded, still thinking quietly in his heart.

Brother Qian and Tiger Head have always been good. However, now that the two have grown up, they both have a crush on Gillian and are each other's biggest rivals.

When they get together tonight, what are the two going to do?

Brother Qian and Hutou were sitting in the study at this time, each holding a thin piece of paper in their hands, and their handsome faces were very dignified.

"Judging from his family background, he is far inferior to you and me. The tiger head was the first to open his mouth.

Brother Qian nodded: "In terms of intimacy, it is far inferior to us." ”

The tiger head furrowed his brows again and muttered: "However, emotional matters, regardless of family background. ”

Brother Qian glared: "Don't be angry with others, destroy your prestige and me." ”

The tiger head pouted: "This kind of thing has nothing to do with whether it is majestic or not." Gillian's cousin is a princess, and her status is extremely noble. Even high-ranking children like you and me are not necessarily worthy of Gillian's cousin. How much your aunt and uncle love Gillian cousin, you should also know. As long as Gillian's cousin is willing, these are not a problem at all. ”

Oh, yes!

Nothing can compete with Gillian's liking!

Brother Qian was in a gloomy and depressed mood: "Then what are we going to do? Can we still quietly send someone to beat Zhou Liang?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the tiger's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea! You don't have to beat him too hard, just let him lie on the bed for a few months, and if he misses the test, it will be done." He didn't have a chance to appear in the Jinluan Palace, so he was no longer qualified to compete for the position of a colt. ”

Brother Qian: "......"

Brother Qian and Tiger Head looked at each other for a moment.

After a while, Brother Qian asked uncertainly: "Cousin Tiger Head, you shouldn't be serious, right? I can't do such things!"

Tiger Head sighed in frustration: "I can't do it either." Just said it, just out of the heart sulking. ”

They are all children of high-ranking families, and they are carefully raised in their families. is not obvious in front of Gillian, and there is pride in his heart that belongs to young people, how can he be willing to do such a self-damaging thing.

Even if you want to fight, you have to be upright and bright.

"No matter!"

Hutou Huo stood up, clenched his fists hard, and shook his fists: "In short, I will be better to Gillian Cousin in the future." If she would marry me, she would have chosen me. She refused to marry me, and she was also my cousin. For the rest of my life, I will treat her well. ”

Brother Qian also exhaled a long breath and kicked the tiger on the head lightly: "your life." I am the one who will take care of Gillian Cousin for the rest of my life, where will it be your turn. ”

The two brothers laughed and played, and the thoughts that had been in their hearts for a day and a night dissipated.

……

Gillian deliberately concealed it, and Gu Wanning pretended not to know.

The mother and daughter had a tacit understanding and did not mention the matter.

Tiger Head and Brother Qian are becoming more and more attentive to Gillian. Write a poem for her today, and tomorrow I'll paint it myself.

Gillian couldn't bear such enthusiasm, and couldn't bear to refuse directly, so she asked Ah Yi to pass the word on her behalf.

"Gillian said, let the two of you concentrate on reading. Ah Yi said solemnly: "Don't give her anything again." ”

Tiger Head and Brother Qian looked lost and gloomy.

Is Gillian rejecting them euphemistically in disguise?

Seeing the two of them looking depressed, Ah Yi's heart softened, and he whispered again: "You two are also a little restrained." What does it look like with such fanfare. Gillian is no matter how frank and upright she is, and she is also a girl's family. You are acting in such a high-profile manner, but it seems that she is not dignified and reserved enough. ”

That's just as well.

It's true that they are ill-conceived. Even those who love in their hearts do not act like this.

Brother Hutou Qian was no longer depressed and annoyed, and nodded in response.

The days of calm as water passed in a flash, and soon, in the middle of February, the trial finally began under the watchful eye of everyone.

There are three three-day examinations each. After the exam, the results will be graded and released within 10 days. A thousand lifts, only a hundred. These 100 people are eligible to enter the temple examination, and the current son himself will be the chief examiner.

The first is the top three, and the top one is the best spot. The remaining more than 40 people are second-class jinshi. The remaining fifty people are the same jinshi.

On the day of the release, the name Zhou Liang suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention.

On the list posted by Guozi outside the prison, Zhou Liang's name was ranked first!
