Out of the Shi family's house, the fog had already dissipated, and the street had changed from a few people to a lively one.

"Do you think we're going to have something to eat first to celebrate this perfect success?" Bai Rong was holding a sugar gourd in her hand, she liked these sweet and greasy foods, so she ate them with relish.

"We're just stepping into the academy now, don't forget we're still at the door." Gu Ziyuan shook his head and said.

Despite what he said, he was not worried about the exam, he was confident that he could pass the exam, after all, what he had learned in the past could be of great help.

Bai Rong chuckled, and looked at the long term, the morning sun had already appeared, and it was as prosperous as the dawn.

The two of them have been familiar with this town for a long time, but for some reason they don't get tired of seeing it, there are many different shops on this long street, and the speed of change is very fast, and it is known as the golden area of this small city.

It is close to the houses of the wealthy, and there are many expensive shops, such as gold shops, some pharmacies, and cloth shops that sell high-end fabrics everywhere, which are expensive anyway.

If it was before, Gu Ziyuan disdained these things, could it be better than those in the palace? But Gu Ziyuan, who has gone through so many tribulations, already has a peaceful mind.

"You see, this is a long street called the Golden Street, you know, the things here are not as bad as those outside, I have inquired, the best shop here that sells scholar's utensils is the most inconspicuous one." Bai Rong said with a grin.

When I entered the store, the owner here was dozing off, and when he saw someone coming, he closed his eyes and said lightly: "Come by yourself, there are prices below, if you are optimistic, you can come to me directly to settle the bill." ”

"Okay."

Bai Rong and Gu Ziyuan entered the house, the things here looked very old, and the books were mottled with dust.

"Don't take the first book, the first book is dusty, and the second book is a sample." The boss said slowly, still closing his eyes and recuperating.

Bai Rong felt strange, this person knew their movements before he opened his eyes, could it be which master of the rivers and lakes?

"It's your first time here, and I've never forgotten the people who came here." The boss seemed to sense Bai Rong's thoughts, and said lazily.

"I see." Bai Rong picked up the second book, and there were still a lot of good brushes on the pen stand.

This...

Gu Ziyuan was speechless in surprise, he had seen a lot of brushes, but there were very few that could be comparable to those in the palace, but the one in front of him, although it was covered with dust, but once it was cleaned up, it must be far more than all the pens in this store.

"Are you so sure I'm going to get in?" Gu Ziyuan looked at Bai Rong, who was busy picking things, and said.

"Of course, if you don't pass the test, it's impossible."

Looking at the dazzling array of scholarly utensils, Bai Rong felt that he had picked out his eyes.

Although she used to be a student, she had never been in ancient times, especially in history class, so she didn't know how to do some things.

is always cramming, and when it comes to exams, he will be one of the best with excellent results for the first time.

When Gu Ziyuan was surprised by Bai Rong's words, after all, she believed in herself so unreservedly, a piece of soft flesh in her heart was poked, and joy rushed away like the water of a big river.

He suddenly had a different emotion for Bai Rong, but this emotion was indescribable, it hurt when he was sad, and he forgot about others when he was happy.

Gu Ziyuan looked away, took down the pen on the pen stand, and emitted a pale white outline under the light of the sun, Gu Ziyuan tried it gently, this pen is very good.

"I've never been to school, I only know that you use some rice paper when you learn calligraphy, and I don't know which rice paper is good, so you might as well choose it yourself." Bai Rong flipped for a while, and finally lost the battle.

She can understand the words here, and she still knows some things if she thinks about it carefully, but she is worried that if she shows too much, it will arouse Gu Ziyuan's suspicion.

After all, her setting is a small village girl who has never gone to school.

"Okay, I'd better do it myself." Gu Ziyuan took a few pieces of rice paper, as well as a booklet, and all the messy things were held in Bai Rong's arms.

Gu Ziyuan finally finished his election, and he almost returned with a full load.

"It seems that this pen is out of stock, if I can, I would like to buy this sample." Gu Ziyuan took the pen in his hand and said.

"If you like it, I'll give you this pen." The boss raised his head slightly and said lightly.

Gu Ziyuan is not a greedy person, the boss continued: "If you give money, this pen should go to my deceased brother, he once said that if someone takes a fancy to this pen, let him take it." I hope you don't force me to break my oath. ”

Gu Ziyuan had no choice but to put away the pen, and after settling the bill, he and Bai Rong returned home.

Granny Pan was basking in the sun in front of the door, chatting with a few people of average age, and when she saw the two of them coming back, everyone was smiling, because Bai Rong's words that day made these people find something to do.

When Granny Pan saw them coming, she asked everyone to go back to their homes, and everyone left.

"You're back, if you want something to eat, your mother-in-law will make it for you." Granny Pan said.

Bai Rong and Gu Ziyuan said that they were not hungry.

"We've already eaten outside." Bai Rong said, and returned to his room after speaking.

"Ziyuan, you come with me."

The mother-in-law's house is still tidy, just like in the palace, she is used to serving people, and she can't see messy.

"You've been with Bai Rong lately, haven't you?" Granny Pan asked with a straight face.

"Yes, I've been with Rong'er these days." Gu Ziyuan narrowed his eyes, he didn't understand why his mother-in-law suddenly talked about Bai Rong.

Bai Rong, who was lying on the bed, was suddenly a little hungry, and wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, but heard a quarrel in Granny Pan's room.

She pushed the door in, only to find that the person they were talking about seemed to be her?

With a slight pause, he leaned on the door and eavesdropped.

"Heh, I've told you many times, the white girl is just a passerby, what you have to do is to find her a good mother-in-law's house, and then never see her again in this life."

This is Granny Pan's voice, full of anger.

"If Bai Rong is willing to marry me, I don't mind her being my wife."

Gu Ziyuan's words almost made Granny Pan angry, and she said fiercely: "What is the identity of that wild girl in Bai Rong?" What is your identity, your status is very different, you are too noble, you should not be tempted by Bai Rong. ”

The sound of their conversation could hardly be heard lying on the door, and Bai Rong was very confused for a while.

She was a little surprised, a little sad.

For what Gu Ziyuan said, she never thought about it, she didn't think about the days when the two were together, she was a little red-faced.

But Granny Pan's words were undoubtedly a knife, which cut her heart, although it did not cause death, but it made people very sad.

After all, she treats her mother-in-law sincerely.
