After eating, Gu Jiao cleaned up the house, went to the Westhouse to empty the quilt, and then went back to the room to sleep.

It's been two months since the last time she dreamed, and Gu Jiao hasn't dreamed anymore since then.

Unexpectedly, this night, she dreamed again.

It's just that what she dreamed of was not Xiao Liulang, but her "self".

She dreamed that she had become the daughter of the Gu Mansion, met Gu Jinyu in the Hot Spring Villa, and returned to the capital with Gu Jinyu.

She lived in a house with carved beams and paintings, and more than a dozen subordinates served her every day, and her unmasked family loved her.

The subordinates respectfully called her Miss Gu, but the good times did not last long.

Gu Jinyu is beautiful, demure and elegant, knowledgeable, and extraordinary.

On the other hand, she has a crippled face, vulgar manners, does not know a single big word, and speaks even more clumsily.

In the strong contrast of Gu Jinyu, she became a complete joke.

Everyone is saying that the Gu family brought back a wild girl from the countryside.

The subordinates began to laugh at her, the daughters began to alienate her, and even the family who once loved her seemed to not know how to face her.

In order to save what should have belonged to her, she did something not very good at the instigation of someone with a heart, causing everyone to be disappointed in her.

In the end, she was sent to Beizhuang outside the capital, where she was depressed and heartbroken every day, and finally died of illness in a cold winter.

After Gu Jiao woke up, she wondered why she had such a dream.

When she dreamed about things related to Xiao Liulang, she understood that those would happen, but not when it came to herself.

If nothing else, just because the "she" in the dream is not her at all.

She is not unlearned, nor is she clumsy.

She will not care what others think of her, she will not be jealous of Gu Jinyu, she will not be instigated, and she will not use those mentally retarded tricks against Gu Jinyu.

If she really wants to kill someone, she'll do it cleaner than mopping the floor.

As for being heartbroken when you don't get the love of your family, it's even more ridiculous.

So, why did she have this wild dream? Can't you pump your brain?

On the other side, Xiao Liulang and Feng Lin's carriage finally arrived at Pingcheng, the capital city, after a long journey of several days.

They didn't come early, and the inns on the edge of the examination room were full, so they retreated to the next best thing and chose the inn across the street.

Two taels of silver for a room, it is simply a sky-high asking price.

But it can't be helped, who makes the candidates wait? I can only pay for the silver obediently.

When the government examination is over, the first batch of unsuccessful candidates leave, and the price will drop by half, and when the court envoy is also over, the price will drop by half again.

Feng Lin and the coachman ate unclean things on the road, and they almost couldn't go on the road because of their stomach troubles, but fortunately, there was diarrhea medicine prepared by Gu Jiao.

Xiao Liulang is fine, but he is a little unaccustomed to falling asleep every night.

Two days later, the government examination began.

The venue of the government examination is in the Pingcheng Gongyuan, and the candidates are introduced into the venue with the examination at the end of the hour.

Different from the examination documents of the county examination, the government examination issued each candidate with an examination card referred to by a fishbone, which the government called the examination citation, with the candidate's name, examination shed, and seat number.

There are four major examination sheds in Pingcheng's Gongyuan, and most of the A-brand examination sheds are the first and ranked top in various counties, and Xiao Liulang is also among them.

The large examination booth is divided into countless small examination rooms, one for each person, the space is not large, but there is a desk, a puff mat and a narrow wooden bed.

Candidates are not allowed to bring anything in except for the examination, and the candidates' pen, ink, paper and inkstone are uniformly distributed by the Gongyuan, in addition to three meals a day and overnight quilts are also sent by special people.

If the candidate is tired, he can rest at any time, as long as he does not cheat and does not violate the discipline of the examination room, even if he sleeps in it for four days and four nights, no one will interfere.

There is no situation in the government examination, so the candidates have to obediently complete the three exams, except for the toilet can walk out of the examination room under the leadership of a special person, the rest of the time is not allowed to leave.

Once you have left, you will not be able to return to the test room under any circumstances.

The first is the Thessalonian.

The scripture of the government examination requires more than three classics, "The Book of Filial Piety" and "The Analects" are mandatory, and the remaining candidates can choose one of the two in the "Book of Songs" and "Zhou Li", and write silently according to the designated paragraph.

This seems simple, but you need to know that in addition to the "Book of Filial Piety", which is only 2,369 words, the remaining three books add up to more than 90,000 words, even if you remove the "Zhou Li", which has the largest number of words, there are still more than 50,000 words, and the amount of memorization is huge.

The number of questions in the scriptures is also very large, and it will be written in the afternoon at the earliest, and it is generally at dusk that people will hand in the papers one after another.

Xiao Liulang only wrote for half an hour before he stopped writing and went to sleep.

His test paper was covered under a blank sheet of paper and pressed against an inkstone.

The invigilators were stunned.

This is...... Done?

No, it can't be, no one can answer so fast!

Unless you memorize these scriptures backwards, you don't have to think about it to write.

This is not something that ordinary geniuses can do, who does he think he is? The former teenager's sacrificial wine - the little marquis of Zhaodu?

The invigilator felt that he probably couldn't answer, so he simply gave up and stopped writing.

It's still the head of the county trial, it's really a shame for their county!

After the exam, someone will come up to collect the papers, first paste the name, and then put it in a special box, and even the invigilator can't see the papers. And when I saw it, the name had been obscured, and I didn't know which exam paper belonged to which candidate.

Perhaps Xiao Liulang was too impressed by the invigilator in the first game, and in the next two games, the invigilator also paid special attention to him.

The second essay test the candidates' diction ability, and the restrictions on wording and writing are not large, which is the easiest of the three.

Xiao Liulang only did it for half an hour before he rolled up and went to sleep.

You...... Can you stop being so self-defeating? How easy the essay is! Can't even write this? How did you get into the first case in the county exam? Are your candidates so impressed?!

The last one is Baguwen, which lasts for two days in a row, which shows its difficulty.

Especially this time, it was Zhuang Tingshi from the capital who personally came up with the question, and Zhuang Tingshi picked two sentences from the "Analects" that were not related to each other - poor and unflattering, rich and not arrogant, sensitive to things and cautious in words, and asked the candidates to put them together to solve the problem.

In just a quarter of an hour, two candidates collapsed under too much pressure.

They were carried out, and the exam was invalidated.

The invigilator scolded the fuck, such a difficult exam question, why don't you give it to the master!

He thought that Xiao Liulang would give up and go to sleep in less than half an hour this time, but who knew that he had been sitting there without moving.

"'Poor but not arrogant, rich but not arrogant, sensitive to things and cautious in words', why does Mr. Zhuang assign such a difficult homework? Ah Heng, you do it for me! ”

The girl's bright smile flashed through her mind, vividly in her mind, as if it were yesterday.
