Chapter 80: The Examination
Wen Fuzi walked on the way to the study, still recalling what had just happened. His wife stopped him, but she actually wanted him to explore Gu Chengyu's marriage.
It's just that he knows that they have missed the opportunity, Gu Chengyu took the county case first, he wanted to mention this matter, and discussed it with his wife for this reason, but his wife kept saying that he had to wait and see, and he couldn't make up his mind.
Now, Gu Chengyu has become the head of the government, and if there is no accident in the court, he should be able to become a showman. When he got here, he couldn't mention it anymore, if Gu Chengyu was not the head of the mansion, he could still mention it cheekily. But now, they're soon out of the right place.
He is just a showman, Gu Chengyu has passed the government exam, and he can be on an equal footing with him in terms of status, not to mention that Gu Chengyu is very likely to be admitted to the gift. What advantages does their family have? This may be the youngest talent in the Dayan Dynasty, and the poems he made are widely circulated, so the strategy is that he can't write like this, you can imagine how many Confucians will want to take him as an apprentice?
Gu Chengyu was ambitious, and he felt that if his daughter really married Gu Chengyu, he should not be at ease. Although Gu Chengyu attaches great importance to affection, he just wants his daughter to live a life without worrying about food and clothing, and he doesn't want his daughter to be rich and rich, because his daughter has no backing.
Wen Yiqin originally went to the main house for breakfast, but who knows, as soon as he arrived outside the main house, he heard the conversation between his father and his mother. At the beginning, when she heard that his mother wanted to tell her to that Gu Chengyu, she blushed, she was still a year older than him! But then she heard her father refuse, and said that the two of them were not compatible.
Wen Yiqin returned to her room in despair, her face was a little pale, and Gu Chengyu's tall figure appeared in her mind, and that handsome face, although he was young, he was different from those students. She didn't know what was different, but she could make people see him at a glance in the crowd.
"You did well in the exam this time, and you have always done well in this area!" Wen Fuzi looked at the proud protégé in front of him, and his heart was also full of pride.
This is his student, from the beginning of the enlightenment to now passed the government examination, in the past three years, he has also done his duty to Gu Chengyu, after this college examination, I am afraid that Gu Chengyu will go to the county school.
"The master has won the award, and the student is fortunate not to be dishonored!" Gu Chengyu bowed to Master Wen, after today, he was afraid that he would not be able to come to this private school a few times.
"You're here to go to school? So far, I have nothing to teach you, and if you pass the college exam with your knowledge, it is also a sure thing. Wen Fuzi felt that Gu Chengyu didn't need to go to school in a private school, on the contrary, it would affect Gu Chengyu's Wenshu in a private school.
"I just want to talk to the master this time, I plan to study at home recently, if not, I will come to the private school to ask the master again!" Gu Chengyu saw that Master Wen also said the same, so he naturally climbed along the pole.
August is the mid-autumn of the year, and although it is no longer a hot summer, even if it is an early autumn morning, it is still hot!
Gu Chengyu sat in the examination booth, waiting for the exam papers to be distributed. And Ye Zhiqiu and the others were scattered in this examination room, and Gu Chengyu didn't see them in his sight.
This time, the college examination was presided over by the academic administration, and the chief examiner was the superintendent of the imperial history, Lord Chen. There are two examinations in total. In the first session, there are many categories of exams, and the amount of each question is less.
As usual, he couldn't bring anything into the arena, and he didn't bring anything with him when he came in. It was still early, and it was dark, and it was not yet time for the curls.
Gu Chengyu glanced around and saw Lord Chen slowly enter the examination room and sit on the main seat in front of him.
Chen Xuewen looked at the candidates below him, but suddenly set his eyes on Gu Chengyu. Gu Chengyu's seat number this time is Tianzi No. 1, which is very close to the examiner.
Chen Xuewen glanced at Gu Chengyu deeply, and then moved his gaze away, rubbing his hands on the armrest. He remembered the handwritten letter given to him by the official book, and his heart was full of contradictions. This is a major matter of fraud, and he is extremely unwilling to do it, but the official Shangshu Yu is his teacher, and he really can't put it off.
This matter has to start more than a month ago, when the teacher gave him a handwritten letter, telling him to use no matter what method he used, so that a candidate named Gu Chengyu could not pass the college exam. He didn't know why the teacher wanted to target such a candidate, but the teacher's order, as a disciple, could only accept it even if he was reluctant.
He is really in a dilemma, the teacher wants him to ruin this candidate, so that he will not be able to turn over for the rest of his life.
Gu Chengyu became vigilant after Chen Xuewen looked at him strangely. Before the entrance examination, he had already inquired about Chen Xuewen's background clearly. Chen Xuewen is Yu's senior brother, when he was still a person, he worshiped Yu Zheng's door, isn't Yu Zheng Yu's father? Coincidentally, the examiner this time happened to be Chen Xuewen.
Because the examiner doesn't have to review the exam papers, and besides, Jingyuan Mansion is not Chen Xuewen's hometown, so there is no need to shy away from these relationships. But in Gu Chengyu's opinion, this is the laxity of the imperial court.
Gu Chengyu squinted, it seems that the Yu family hasn't learned to be obedient yet! Three months ago, shortly after he returned home, Yu took action. Because the soap formula was only available to their Gu family, Yu Shi chose to start with it, she asked people to buy soap, and then applied a layer of colorless and odorless liquid on the soap.
If someone washes his face with this soap, he will have many rashes on his face. When Gu Chengyu came to make trouble, he was exposed by him on the spot, and he also washed the man's face with another kind of soap, and promised that after three days, the rash would disappear.
In the end, Yu's naturally stole chickens and rice, and even fulfilled the reputation of the Gu family's soap.
It's just that Gu Chengyu touched the backyard of the Governor Jiang's Mansion in Fucheng that night, he used smoke to stun people, and then sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder on Yu's body. That medicinal powder is a good thing, it should make Yu Shi stop.
Gu Chengyu searched around the examination booth and didn't find anything abnormal, it may be that he was looking for something in food. One is to put a note on the food and talk about cheating. There is also a laxative in the food to make him have diarrhea, in short, there are so many.
He has space, the note can be thrown into the space, and the food can be changed secretly, anyway, the examination room is generally white-flour steamed buns and side dishes, and it's a big deal that he doesn't eat side dishes!
After waiting for a while, the exam paper was finally sent.
Gu Chengyu first carefully checked the exam papers, scratch paper, and the four treasures of the room, he didn't want to be calculated before the exam started.
After making sure that it was all right, he looked at the contents of the exam paper. The proportion of sticking scriptures and ink meanings is not heavy, and there are two questions at the end, and finally a poem.
