The ancients had a saying that women chase men with a layer of yarn, but Gu Juan knew that the layer of yarn was not so easy to pierce. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gu Juan smiled and said to Li Xiuxiu: "Sister Axiu, I'll send you back, it's dark and the road is slippery." ”

Seeing that Gu Juan said this, Li Xiuxiu naturally had no choice but to take the bowl and leave.

After bringing Gu Juan back, Gu Zhi didn't have the heart to teach Gu Juan a lesson, so he had to wash up and go to bed early.

Early the next morning, Gu Juan got up and was about to follow the Wang family to Shaxi Town, but was stopped by Gu Zhi who had just gotten up. ”

After Gu Juan listened, he suddenly felt helpless.

"What's the matter, didn't Daddy say it before?"

Gu Zhi sighed and said: "This time is different from the past, Ah Xuan Ke knows that Mr. Sizhi has already obtained an important position in the imperial capital, and you already have a marriage contract at this time, which is naturally different from the past." ”

Gu Juan sighed and said, "Daddy, I don't like Wang Yuanmei. ”

Gu Zhi was angry for a while, and then said helplessly: "How can you talk like this as a woman? In ancient times, marriage was the order of parents, and the words of the matchmaker, if everything is up to your temperament, is this worth it?"

"It's me who marries, and it's not you who marry. ”

"You!"

Gu Zhi was so angry that he couldn't speak, but he was reluctant to beat Gu Juan, so he had to sigh, and then said: "In the future, Ah Juan will definitely understand that this is good for you as a father." ”

Gu Juan looked at Gu Zhi's departing figure, and her heart was extremely depressed, but at this time she suddenly remembered that she went to find Ah He and asked Ah He to bring back the oil paper umbrella, but at this time, Ah He and the Wang family had already left.

Gu Juan sighed, just thinking about asking them to get the umbrella back tomorrow.

Gu Xuan, who had nothing to do, sat on the stone bench, looked at the clear and transparent sky, and said, "You only gave a painting, what do you mean?"

But where is the person she has in mind at this time?

Time flies, dozens of days have passed in a blink of an eye, and Gu Weijun is about to take the county exam.

Gu Zhi got up early in the morning to prepare the exam basket for Gu Weijun, and asked for leave from the private school in the village, so he went to the county government with Gu Juan and Gu Weijun.

Taicang has a beautiful style of study, and almost every household has children studying, so at this time of year, there are crowds of people outside the county office, and this day is no exception. Gu Juan watched Gu Weijun holding the exam basket and squeezed towards the crowd.

Suddenly a little worried that his brother's thin body would not be able to bear it.

Gu Zhi, who was standing aside at this time, said: "Ah Juan knows that his father was like this back then, and when he entered this examination room, he thought that he would be able to be proud of this life in this field, but he never thought that it would be the last time he was proud of his father.

At this time, Gu Zhi's face was yearning, melancholy, and loneliness.

"If Daddy wants to take the exam, he can naturally prepare, after all, many things in this world are uncertain, and maybe Daddy will pass the exam again. ”

Gu Zhi smiled and said to Gu Juan: "My father has already said that I am not going to take the exam, and I can't pass the exam a few times, which means that my father is not that piece of material, so why should I embarrass myself?"

Gu Juan sighed, and sighed in his heart, why wasn't this person embarrassing himself at this time?

At first, the candidate's family members were still standing outside the door, anxiously waiting, but as the sun rose, most of them ran to the shade of the trees next to the river to take a cooler.

Gu Juan listened helplessly for a while, among the people who took the Xiucai exam, there were fifty or sixty-year-old uncles, and eleven or twelve-year-old children, it can be said that there is no limit to children, it can be seen that in the place where the literary style is at its peak, it is not easy to be admitted to Xiucai.

Gu Juan circled around the county government more than a dozen times, and ate something, and time passed quite quickly.

I only heard a gong, the county exam was over, Gu Juan and Gu Zhi were waiting anxiously outside the door, only to see that as soon as the county government gate opened, the candidates rushed out.

Gu Juan's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly saw Gu Weijun, who was full of tiredness in the crowd, but his eyes were shining, judging from Gu Juan's many years of exam experience, this one must have done well.

Gu Zhi took a step forward and said with some excitement: "How?"

"Not bad. ”

Gu Zhi knew that his son was a humble person, and if he said so, he would definitely not be far behind, so he was naturally happy, and even said that he wanted to go to the restaurant for a meal.

Gu Juan was naturally very happy, there were many people outside the county government, some candidates cried in public, and some laughed loudly, but it definitely did not affect God's mood of rain.

Sure enough, Taicang has a rainy summer afternoon, which is a good saying of the ancients.

But Gu Juan and Gu Zhi, the two idiots, didn't bring umbrellas, which was embarrassing, Gu Juan was still wearing a dress of yarn, if it was wet, it would be a little indecent, Gu Weijun hurriedly grabbed Gu Juan's shoulders and walked to a place to shelter from the rain, but here and now, where is there a place for them to shelter from the rain, it is overcrowded, and there is no place for even the ships coming and going.

"What should I do?"

Gu Juan couldn't help but say, at this moment. Gu Juan felt a shadow above his head.

Gu Juan looked up and saw Wang Yuanmei holding a somewhat worn oil-paper umbrella, standing in front of Gu Juan.

This oil-paper umbrella looked very familiar, and Gu Juan couldn't help but ask, "Why is this umbrella in your hand?"

"It was raining that day, and the little brother in the store lent it to me. ”

"I always thought it was lost. Gu Juan took the umbrella, Wang Yuanmei was immediately drenched by the heavy rain, at this time Wang Yuanmei's face was pale, and she looked very bad, Gu Juan couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?"

Wang Yuanmei smiled and said, "I blew a cool breeze last night, maybe I was infected with the wind cold." ”

Gu Juan raised the umbrella and covered Wang Yuanmei.

Wang Yuanmei smiled and said, "Let's go, there is my carriage over there, go up and avoid it first." ”

Wang Yuanmei stretched out her hand and held Gu Juan's hand that was holding the umbrella.

At this time, the rain was pouring down, and both of them were handsome men and beautiful women, and they were so close in this heavy rain, which was naturally extremely eye-catching.

Wang Kai, who was just standing not far away and was about to walk over, was stunned.

He felt like something was broken in his heart.

Gu Juan let go of his hand a little awkwardly, as if he was sensitive, turned his head, and was pleasantly surprised to see Wang Kai standing not far away.

She ran over with her skirt, regardless of whether the heavy rain would stain her skirt, Gu Juan had only one thought at this time, she finally saw this person, and he finally came back.

Gu Juan ran to Wang Kai and said, "You're finally back, Prince Wang." ”

"Uncle is sick and went back. ”

"I see, tell me, what does that umbrella mean?"

Gu Juan looked at Wang Kai expectantly, this was probably the most daring thing she had ever done in her life.

"It's not interesting. ”
