Approaching noon, Wang Cecai and Gu Anran finished speaking.

He promised again and again that he would definitely handle the matter of buying the land properly, so that Gu Anran could prepare for the exam with peace of mind, and he didn't have to worry about these trivial matters, and Gu Wan gave him an extra hundred taels of silver from the account and asked him to dredge it in the yamen.

Since you want to take root in Yazhou, it is very important to have a good relationship with Yamen Soap, the so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, the king of Hades is easy to see the little ghosts, Gu Wan still wants to open a shop in Yazhou in the future to do business, and there are many opportunities to deal with the Yamen officials.

The two brothers and sisters kept sending the Wang family out of the gate, watching them leave, and then returned.

Gu Anran drank a little wine, Gu Wan's secret fruit wine was mellow and delicious, and he was full of stamina, although he didn't drink much, he was also a little drunk.

Seeing his red face, Gu Wan shook her head, didn't let Wang Da stretch out her hand, personally held a basin of hot water, wiped his eldest brother's face with a hot towel, and brought him a cup of sobering tea, feeding him to drink.

After drinking a cup of warm tea with a little bitterness, Gu Anran exhaled, refreshed, and said with a smile: "Wan Niang's sobering tea is really good, after drinking a cup, your body will be refreshed immediately." ”

Of course, the secret recipe of the palace of the previous dynasty, ten points can only buy one or two halves, or a special price, the corners of Gu Wan's mouth twitched, and she was willing to give up on her eldest brother, and if she changed to someone else, she didn't want to drink it.

When he came to his senses, Gu Anran sat down in front of the desk specially built for him in the study and began to read.

The enrollment test of Jixian Hall is scheduled for the eighth day of September, and there is still half a year to go, although Gu Anran thinks that his knowledge is good, but in the face of Gu Yiqing's personal assessment, he is still nervous.

Gu Wan also followed into the study, and when she saw the mess scattered on the table and the books on the ground, she felt dizzy, and couldn't cry or laugh: "Big brother, don't you cherish books the most, why are you so messy?" ”

Fortunately, the furniture and bookshelves in the study were polished without any edges and corners, so that the pages were not scratched, Gu Wan picked up the books on the ground and looked at them, what "Analects", "Mencius", "Shangshu", "Book of Rites", ...... They are all rare good books that students ask for, put the books on the shelves one by one in order, arrange them neatly, and when they turned their heads, they saw Gu Anran staring at a copy of the Tao Te Ching with a sad face.

"Big brother, don't be too impatient, Master Gu's assessment is just an introductory assessment, and it is impossible to ask you to be a master of scripture."

Gu Wan sighed, she also knew that her eldest brother was under a lot of pressure, and now the Gu family only had two brothers and sisters, although the eldest brother didn't say it on weekdays, he kept in mind what his father said before he died, and he was dedicated to studying and making progress, so that he could fight for a breath in front of the Gu clan who had been orphaned and widowed to them and despised them in every way.

Gu Anran raised his head, saw that his sister's eyes were slightly worried, rubbed his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Big brother is fine, just a little emotional, when I didn't read much before, I felt that I had learned quite well, but as I read more, I always felt insufficient." ”

Gu Wan suddenly said, this is a good thing, the so-called learning is endless, if the eldest brother does not have this sense of urgency, she will have to worry.

Gu Anran rubbed Gu Wan's hair, and the expression on his face gradually softened: "What's more, I am much luckier than others, I have a very smart little sister, our family's collection of books makes you so neat and organized, and it is much easier to read than others." ”

This is not a lie, Gu Anran didn't expect that his young sister was so ingenious, and the collection of books at home made her classify and put them neatly, and she also took half a year to list a big catalog, the original books, and its various annotations, which were listed together in a simple and clear way.

However, there are too many books, a volume of the original, the annotations of the descendants, it is as vast as a sea of smoke, which is quite contradictory, each has its own reason, he is a primary school student who has only read books for a few years, and wants to understand all of this, it is simply impossible, fortunately, he has been immersed in the sea of books, read through the scriptures, and has laid a very solid foundation, otherwise, in the face of so many books, I am afraid that I will not be able to start.

"Hey, we have too many books in our house, and I don't know when we will be able to finish reading them......"

Hearing the words of the eldest brother, Gu Wan glanced at the bookshelves lined up with books on the four walls, and was speechless, she really didn't expect that their family's collection of books was already so much, in addition to the books left by her mother, in the three years of filial piety, Gu Wan added countless books to her home, it is estimated that many families who have escaped the disaster of the war may not have so many books at home.

Blinking, Gu Wan lowered her head and sharpened ink for her eldest brother with a smile, "Big brother, reading is a lifelong thing, how many great Confucian Hao is poor in the scriptures, and I don't dare to say that I have read all the scriptures thoroughly, what are you anxious about, if it is not difficult to read by yourself, you don't need to go to the Jixian Pavilion to worship the famous teacher!" ”

Gu Anran nodded and sat down quietly.

Although she comforted her eldest brother in her words, Gu Wan still attached great importance to this assessment in her heart, after all, she had the experience of her previous life, and I heard that the first batch of students recruited by Jixian Pavilion was definitely one in a million, and a number of already famous talents were brushed down, and there were very few who could really enter Gu Shi's eyes, but each of them was regarded as a disciple of Gu Shi, and in the future, Qing Dynasty was newly established, and this group of people was the minister of the humerus.

"It would be nice if I could get Gu's anthology, as well as the volumes and topics he corrected and the topics he had corrected when he was teaching at Lanshan College before." Gu Wan sighed, although she was confident in her eldest brother's talent, there were too many people competing, if she was not prepared, if the boat capsized in the gutter, it would be a big blow to the eldest brother.

But now is not the 21st century, there is an omnipotent network, there are all kinds of exam strategies, and there are famous teachers from all walks of life to comment on the exam questions, as long as you are willing to work hard to ensure that someone chews it up and feeds it to you, now, I am afraid that only Gu Yiqing's disciples can get the anthology of his annotations and figure out what kind of questions he may have.

Gu Wan had read a lot of books in her previous life, and as the wife of the Hou Mansion, she also had a wide range of people, but she couldn't bear to see the exam questions of the Jixian Pavilion, and she didn't care about these at the time, and she never thought of paying attention.

“…… Otherwise, send a letter to the seventh son of the Mu family. ”

Gu Wan frowned and pondered, Yazhou is the territory of the Mu family, Gu Yiqing founded the Jixian Pavilion in Yazhou, and it is obvious that he is cultivating talents for the Mu family, the seventh son, should be able to speak to some extent, besides, even if he can't get the 'internal reference materials', there should always be general reference materials.
