09 Short-guarding

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of Xiao Liulang's exam.

Gu Jiao got up early in the morning, made noodles, steamed a basket of porcelain white flour steamed buns, and cooked a pot of wild mushroom soup.

The wild mushrooms were picked in the mountains, and the first ones had been eaten, and these were newly picked on the mountain yesterday, and there were still a lot left, and she planned to carry them to the market to sell them in a while.

In fact, she also picked the fungus, but the fresh fungus is poisonous and must be dried before it can be eaten.

After waiting for the meal, she went back to the house and took medicine.

The wounds on her wrist and the back of her head were fine, and the medicine was almost finished, but the ointment was more durable, and most of it was left.

On the other side, Xiao Liulang also got up.

Gu Jiao knew that he was studying late last night, and he didn't make any noise to him in the morning, but he was still so early.

Gu Jiao set the dishes and chopsticks and served him a small half bowl of wild mushroom soup. This is because he is worried that he will go into the examination room to find a toilet, and it will not be full.

I don't know if it's Gu Jiao's illusion, I always feel that Xiao Liulang's little eyes that he inadvertently glanced at him were a little resentful.

The exam took a whole day, and Gu Jiao filled it with steamed buns and water.

After a pause, not knowing what to think, she stuffed ten more copper plates into her baggage.

Xiao Liulang watched her move as she stuffed the copper plate, his eyes moved, and he didn't speak.

Gu Jiao handed him the packed baggage: "I have already paid for the car, and I have also called to say hello, so I will send you directly to the vicinity of the academy." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Liulang answered, took the baggage, and went out with a cane.

Gu Jiao looked at his little lame leg and resisted the idea of sending him to the entrance of the village. Presumably he wasn't happy either.

When Xiao Liulang arrived at the entrance of the village, Second Uncle Luo's ox cart had already stopped under the locust tree, and there were many people sitting there, all of whom were villagers who took their own side vegetables and eggs to sell in the town.

When the villagers saw him, they all laughed and snored at him.

Xiao Liulang is a scholar, and he looks cold on weekdays, but he doesn't have many shelves. Whoever wants to read a letter or reply to a letter will come to him. Although Gu Dashun is also a scholar, Gu Dashun is in a private school during the day, and when he goes home at night, he buries himself in hard study, and the villagers rarely bother Gu Dashun.

There was one last seat on the cart, which was supposed to be reserved for him.

Xiao Liulang was about to go up when he felt a figure flickering by, blocking in front of him.

The other party held down the ox cart with one hand, and supported another figure behind him with the other: "Shunzi, hurry up!" ”

It is the mother and son of the Zhou family in the big house of the Gu family.

The Zhou family blocked Xiao Liulang tightly, and did not give Xiao Liulang a chance to get on the ox cart at all.

On the ox cart, an eldest lady spoke: "Shunzi and his mother, it was Rokuro who came first." ”

Gu Dashun's action on the ox cart paused.

He turned his head, looked past his mother, and glanced at Xiao Liulang.

Xiao Liulang's eyebrows were cold and his expression was indifferent.

Zhou snorted indifferently: "My Shunzi has an exam!" What happened to him first? If you come first, you can delay my straight-son exam? ”

Everyone in the village knows that Gu Dashun is a promising person, he was admitted to the county school a while ago, and he is a showman, I heard that he doesn't need to kneel and salute when he sees the county master.

Although Xiao Liulang is a good young man, he is not as important as Dashun's future.

If Gu Dashun is developed, not only will he show his ancestors to the Gu family, but he will also be exposed to the entire Qingquan Village.

Everyone stopped squeaking.

"That ......," Second Uncle Luo said curtly, "Liulang, he...... I also went to the exam. ”

When Gu Jiao came to find Second Uncle Luo last night, she explained clearly to Second Uncle Luo that Xiao Liulang was going to take an exam in a college, and Xiao Liulang had inconvenient legs and feet, so he told him to send someone to him. He was also given two more copper plates for this.

Second Uncle Luo was quite puzzled, the little fool of the Gu family, who didn't deal with Xiao Liulang, seemed to be a different person when he spoke and acted.

But he didn't have time to ask more, Gu Jiao left.

Hearing that Xiao Liulang also went to the exam, Zhou didn't feel at ease at all, can Xiao Liulang's exam be compared with her son's?

However, Gu Dashun looked at Xiao Liulang in astonishment: "You...... Is it also going to Tianxiang Academy? ”

"Hmm." Xiao Liulang replied lightly.

Xiao Liulang was already a child when he first came to the village, and Gu Dashun was also a child at that time, and then Gu Dashun was admitted to Xiucai, Xiao Liulang was still a child, and Gu Dashun didn't think so highly of Xiao Liulang.

"You haven't been to a private school for half a year......" Gu Dashun shook his head.

This means obviously, Xiao Liulang couldn't pass the exam at all.

And Second Uncle Luo, who originally planned to persuade a villager to give up a seat to Xiao Liulang, silently held back his words.

Since you can't pass the exam, you don't have to toss.

Second Uncle Luo took out the money bag.

Going to the bazaar was two copper plates, three copper plates in a little place, Gu Jiao gave two more, a total of five copper plates.

Second Uncle Luo counted out the copper plates and returned them to Xiao Liulang, and Gu Dashun was pushed into the oxcart by the Zhou family.

But before he could sit still, a skinny hand suddenly reached out from behind his back, grabbed him by the back collar, and dragged him off the ox cart!

Gu Dashun is two years older than Xiao Liulang, he is nineteen years old this year, and he is a sturdy young man, but he was staggered by that sudden drag, and he almost fell to the ground.

Zhou was frightened enough and hurried to help Gu Dashun.

"Who!"

She scolded and turned back.

Then he saw the thin and small Gu Jiao with everyone.

Gu Jiao's eyes were cold, revealing an uninhibited chill.

Everyone was stunned.

"Gu Jiao, what are you crazy about!" Who else should Zhou be so bold, but it turned out to be this little fool.

"Take the copper plate back." Gu Jiao ignored Zhou at all, only looked at Second Uncle Luo, whose hands were frozen in the air, and frowned impatiently, "I decided on the ox cart last night, if you want to regret it, you can refund everyone's car money." ”

"What do you mean?" Zhou asked.

"Literally, Xiao Liulang can't get on the ox cart today, so no one is allowed to get on the ox cart." Gu Jiao said.

"Why are you?" An aunt snorted.

Gu Jiao slowly took out the sickle from behind her back: "Just because I'm a fool?" ”

When everyone saw the sword, their faces turned white.

Zhou, who wanted to rush up and pull Gu Jiao's hair, was too frightened to step forward.

Idiot...... Fools can do anything.

But the fool didn't want to see Xiao Liulang in the past, why would he have trouble getting along with the Gu family, who has always been close, for him?

Not to mention the doubts of the villagers, even Xiao Liulang's eyes flashed a trace of astonishment.

"If you want to go and invite Old Man Gu, hurry up." Gu Jiao said as she blew the sickle that had been sharpened by herself.

Zhou really wanted to go.

was stopped by Gu Dashun.

It doesn't make sense to reason with a fool, and it's not good to delay the exam.

Although, Xiao Liulang will also miss the exam, but Xiao Liulang can't pass the exam in the first place, and if he misses it, he will miss it, he is different.

In the end, it was Second Uncle Luo who came up with a way to let Zhou spend money to buy the dishes of one of the villagers, and the villagers gave up their seat to Gu Dashun.

Gu Jiao didn't care whose seat Gu Dashun bought.

However, in order to prevent another accident halfway, Gu Jiao accompanied him with a sickle on his back.

There were no more extra seats for her in the bullock cart.

She dragged her thin and small body, walked more than ten miles on foot, and sent Xiao Liulang into the examination room safely.
