Gan Qi thinks well, anyway, there are tens of thousands of people who participate in the exam every year, and I think that the county lord of Changle will only wait for the exam to be released at this time.

At that time, Gan Qi was not on the list, and the matter probably passed like this.

But Sister Zhao herself pondered the wrong taste at home, and after thinking about it, she always felt that something was wrong. Passing by the study, I saw my husband Wu Chengwu leaning against the window and reading hard.

Sister Zhao stopped, thought about it, and said to Wu Chengwu, who was preparing for the exam in the window: "Husband, you study hard at home alone, every year, and I am afraid that it will be another year of empty labor behind closed doors." ”

I saw that at this time, Wu Chengwu hurriedly got up and made a big salute to his wife, and asked with a smile, "I don't know what Mrs. said?" Please also ask Madame to be straightforward. ”

"Recently, there has been a talented man named Gan Qi in Bianliang, do you know?"

Wu Chengwu nodded: "Well, I just heard it last night, and the song "Magnolia" is very well filled. ”

Sister Zhao took out a copy of "Qiu Lan Fu" from her arms, walked into the study, put the Fu on the bookcase, and said, "Look at it, this is Gan Qi's article." ”

Wu Chengwu picked it up and looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, thinking that this eldest sister Zhao was going to compare herself with others again, which was going to be difficult.

Sister Zhao asked, "How?" ”

"Good endowment, good writing, absolutely good." Wu Chengwu was boasting, but he knew in his heart that he was going to be unlucky.

Unexpectedly, Sister Zhao suddenly smiled and said, "Husband, if you prepare for the exam with this person, and ask for advice if you don't understand something, will you have a higher chance of passing the exam this time?" ”

Wu Chengwu heard that his wife was not using this comparison to make trouble, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "This is nature, this is nature, I'm afraid that he is unwilling to prepare for the exam with me, so disturbing and inconvenient." ”

Sister Zhao nodded again and again when she heard this: "Well, Gan Qi is a good person to deal with, but he is a little slippery, I will arrange the matter, you will go to his house every day to prepare for the exam, and also keep an eye on him, and teach him to prepare for the exam seriously, and not slack off." ”

This is the purpose, the county lord of Changle is preparing to let his husband stare at Gan Qi to prepare for the exam, afraid that Gan Qi, a slippery head, will not work hard to study, miss a good opportunity, and finally end up with a name for Sun Shan.

If you want to say that Sister Zhao is really a warm-hearted person, she can do anything. Not to mention worrying about his sister's marriage, he also worried about Gan Qi's exam preparation.

The advantages of a housewife, she gathered.

Wu Chengwu could only nod and replied, "Madame's arrangement." ”

In this family, Wu Chengwu seems to have no status at all. This is not to mention the usual etiquette, even when he goes to bed, Wu Chengwu has to be polite and courteous to ask for instructions, if Changle is unhappy, Wu Chengwu has to go to the side room to keep the empty room alone.

How can Gan Qi live such a life?

Gan Qi of course has to try to get rid of this tragedy, and on this day Gan Qi lived in fear, for fear that if he was not careful, the happy life of the lower half of his body would be ruined.

Back at home, Wu Qiao'er waited back and forth, Gan Qi looked at Wu Qiao'er for some reason, and suddenly felt very kind.

I also heard Wu Qiao'er ask casually: "Where are the good officials today?" When I go home and change my clothes, I don't see anyone. ”

"Alas...... I encountered a lot of trouble today, and I almost held a grudge for life. Fortunately, I was witty and resolved it in time. I have to hide from reading this book, and I can't go outside to show my face. Ganchi replied.

Wu Qiao'er asked: "What are you talking about?" Scholars naturally want to go out more often, make friends, and accumulate fame. If you have a reputation, you will be valued by those bachelors and gentlemen. ”

Gan Qi waved his hand again and again: "You don't understand, you don't understand, it's not a good thing to have a big reputation." ”

"Good official nonsense, where did the crooked reasoning come from, don't you regret not wanting to study? That's why you're looking for such an excuse to prevaricate with me? Wu Qiao'er was cleaning up the angry pink that Gan Qi was wearing today, and looked at Gan Qi with a look of resentment.

"I'll go to the study, read at night, hang my head on the beam, and cone the thorn strand." Gan Qi didn't comfort Wu Qiao'er, but he was really ready to read a book seriously and make up for the foundation.

Needless to say, Wu Qiao'er has no shortage of tea and snacks, and the lamp oil is also added spoonful by spoonful, trying to make this oil lamp as bright as possible.

The Four Books and Five Classics are naturally the foundation, Gan Qi can really understand eight or nine without leaving ten, but he also frowns from time to time, and some of the content is really not something that can be understood with annotations, especially books such as "Spring and Autumn", which talk more about history and are extremely concise, no one can explain it seriously, so you can only read it and swallow it.

The conciseness of the Spring and Autumn Period is difficult to understand, and even derived a word called "Spring and Autumn Brushwork", which means a brushstroke. Therefore, there are many "biographies" in the Spring and Autumn Period, such as "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period", "Ram Spring and Autumn Period", and "Guliang Spring and Autumn Period", all of which are explained and added.

Gan Qi was reading with a lot of time, and he couldn't help but think of the Su family brothers, and it seemed that he had to find someone to read with, and asked a few questions from time to time.

After a night without saying anything, they got up early, Gan Qi and Zhou Tong began to practice their fists and feet, and now they have also added guns and sticks.

Zhou Dong taught extremely seriously, and Gan Qi also studied extremely seriously.

It's just that before the gun has been played, I heard someone shouting at the door: "Ganqi, Ganqi open the door, I know you are at home." ”

When Gan Qi heard this voice, he was a little familiar, and he was still thinking about who it was, and he didn't want Zhou Dong to be quick, so he opened the courtyard door a few steps forward.

The person who walked in at the door was Zhao Zonghan, with more than a dozen small servants behind him, and a middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt.

"Why are you here again? Didn't you already say it before the head? I'll talk about that when I'm in high school. "Gan Qi doesn't want to see this, it's all written on his face.

Zhao Zonghan was not angry when he heard this, and smiled on his face: "Gan Qi, my brother-in-law is here, why don't you come and see it soon?" ”

"Brother-in-law? Which brother-in-law? ”

"My eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law." Zhao Zonghan had already raised his hand to the side.

Wu Chengwu stepped forward a few steps forward and bowed: "In Wu Chengwu, I have seen Mr. Gan." ”

Perhaps this was the first time that someone had addressed Gan Qi as "sir", and Gan Qi stood on the spot, bowing first, not knowing what to say.

Zhao Zonghan had already spoken: "My eldest sister asked my brother-in-law to come to you and accompany you to prepare for the exam." Although my eldest brother-in-law has repeatedly failed the test, he is experienced and can help you review the key points. Don't underestimate my brother-in-law, the sage's classics, he knows everything, and he memorizes them like a stream. ”

Everything, backwards like a stream? How can this still fail time and time again? Gan Qi thought.

Wu Chengwu heard the praise, and hurriedly said humbly: "The son of the world is too famous, and he is an elm head below, and every time he makes a decision, he can't succeed, so I'm really ashamed." ”

The so-called "policy theory" is a major focus of the imperial examination, which literally means policy discussion and policy for governing the country. In addition, it is also necessary to test the "Ink Meaning of the Scriptures", which is probably fill-in-the-blank questions, silent writing questions, and noun explanations, which belong to Ganqi's so-called foundation.

Gan Qi understood this time, it was the Changle County Lord who sent a person to monitor and study to the door. It was not an ordinary person who sent it, but the husband of the county lord of Changle.

If it were an ordinary person, Gan Qi would raise his hand and rush out, this one really couldn't catch up.

Gan Qi gritted his teeth and said: "You old Zhao family people are really ruthless!" ”

Zhao Zonghan seemed to be a little gloating, and said: "Gan Qi, you are honest, take the Jinshi exam well, I can't escape from the palm of my eldest sister's hand, and you don't want to escape." ”

Trouble, really trouble. Gan Qi looked at Wu Chengwu, who was looking at his nose, nose, mouth, and mouth, and stepped forward to salute. After looking at it carefully, he suddenly felt a little relieved, but fortunately, Wu Chengwu looked dull and wooden, not like a person who was not easy to deal with.

Gan Qi raised his hand and waved: "Go back, your brother-in-law and I are ready to study." ”

Zhao Zonghan didn't stay long, and replied: "Well, read it well, you must be in it." If you can point out my brother-in-law and let my brother-in-law win it, then my eldest sister will definitely thank you a thousand times. ”

"Let's go, let's go." Gan Qi didn't send it, but urged it.

Zhao Zonghan, who had already turned his head, turned around and said, "I'll come back in a few days, see how your sumo ring makes money." ”

Zhou Tong on the side held a bladeless spear and asked, "Big brother, are you still practicing?" ”

"You practice more yourself, and don't teach others to defeat it in a few days." Gan Qi gave a word, so he had to raise his hand to Wu Chengwu to ask.

The two of them entered the study together.
