Lin Yu and Wu Dinghou are people that Liu Lu can't afford to offend.

Let's not say that one of the two of them is the first assistant of the dynasty, let's just say that the Marquis of Wuding, who has fought for His Majesty for many years and made great contributions to the protection of the country, is not comparable to the Marquis of Dingxi, a marquis who has a title only by relying on the shadow of his ancestors.

And such a character, Dingxi Hou can't afford to offend, not to mention that Liu Lu is just a nephew of Dingxi Hou, not even a son.

Liu Lu thought that one day he would be in terms of identity, and he couldn't compare to Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng, who he couldn't look down on, and he couldn't swallow this evil breath in his heart.

But for Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng, Liu Lu was nothing at all.

There are better things in their lives now, for example, Su Xiaomu's Xiyue Pavilion business is getting better and better, and Gu Jingcheng's exam results have also come down, and he is really the title of the gold list, and he will be the first in the exam.

Su Xiaomu was very happy when she learned the news, although she trusted Gu Jingcheng extremely in her heart, knowing that it would be easy for him to take the first exam.

But in the process of waiting, I can't help but worry about him, more than ten years of hard reading in the cold window all got the answer on that day, few people will be at peace, not moved, right?

Of course, Gu Jingcheng couldn't hide the boiling in his heart, his eyes were full of excitement, and he even directly raised his hand to grab Su Xiaomu's arm, and his real gaze patrolled back and forth on her face: "I'm hit." ”

"Yes, you've been hit."

The first in the government examination, the first in the general examination, if he can come out on top in the palace examination again, then Gu Jingcheng's future is simply unlimited.

Both of them were happy about this matter, Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng specially invited Zhou Lin, and Su Xiaomu planned to cook and invite him to dinner.

In this way, this happy event can be regarded as sharing with all their relatives and friends in the capital.

As for the family, Gu Jingcheng was thinking that after the results of the palace examination came out, he would write a letter to go over together, so that they would not worry about him a few times.

While Su Xiaomu was busy in the kitchen, Gu Jingcheng and Zhou Lin were discussing some other things.

Su Xiaomu was tired of cooking for a day, and when she brought the last dish of sweet and sour fish to the table, Zhou Lin suddenly violently pushed open the door of the study, didn't look at Su Xiaomu, and left with an ugly face.

"Didn't you have to eat before leaving?"

Su Xiaomu looked at Gu Jingcheng and looked at Zhou Lin, who didn't close the courtyard door for her, and frowned: "He's like this, did the two of you say something in the house that made him unhappy?" ”

"No, how could I say that he was unhappy on a big day, maybe because of something else." Gu Jingcheng shook his head, his face was not very good at the moment, "He is not blessed to eat your food, then the two of us will eat by ourselves, so many delicious foods, I am really blessed." ”

"It's all your favorite food, it's all still hot, I'm afraid they'll be cold, so it's always hot in a pot, but are you sure there's nothing between the two of you, didn't you lie to me?"

Su Xiaomu didn't quite believe Gu Jingcheng's words, and her suspicious gaze rolled on his face again and again.

"Gu Jingcheng, you and Zhou Lin are such good friends, if you had an accident in the capital before, he could spare his life for you, now is your big day, I don't believe he will make you unhappy in such a happy event."

"It's really nothing, it's just that he has something to deal with at home recently, and he has been busy congratulating me today."

Gu Jingcheng patiently explained to Su Xiaomu: "But I don't know what happened to his family, he doesn't want to say, and I don't want to ask too much." ”

"Is that really the case?" Su Xiaomu didn't believe it.

"I always feel that the atmosphere between the two of you is a little strange, your face was not good when you came out of the room just now, I told Zhou Lin in advance to let him come to the house for dinner, if there is no big event, he will not leave in such a hurry, and the business of the Zhou family should not have settled in the capital yet, right?"

Su Xiaomu intuitively felt that Gu Jingcheng was lying to her, but he couldn't figure out why he wanted to lie to her.

"That's his business, he doesn't want to say it, and I can't force him, right?" Gu Jingcheng said again, "Don't talk about this, let's eat first, you have worked so hard with so many dishes, if it is cold, it will not be a waste of your mind." ”

"Then eat, after your palace is finished, you have to go to Zhou Lin and ask him about the situation in his family, you two are such good friends, don't forget Gou Fugui, if his family really needs help, we can't stand idly by."

Su Xiaomu had doubts in his heart, but he was reluctant to waste the table of food he made, so he temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and the two of them worked silently.

Early in the morning of the second day, Gu Jingcheng got up to pack the items needed for the palace exam, and Su Xiaomu spent a lot of money to buy him a dress when he was taking the exam in the Gongyuan, and he definitely would not let him show his timidity in front of the students this time.

Although Gu Jingcheng has a particularly handsome face, but people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and he is dressed up so ceremoniously, he is really handsome, people can't take their eyes off it, and they can't wait to stare at him.

"It's really good, this indigo blue robe can't be suppressed by ordinary people, but you're different, this silver-rimmed dress is extravagant."

Su Xiaomu looked at Gu Jingcheng back and forth, and raised his two arms to take a closer look.

It's good, it's good.

Gu Jingcheng also liked the robe he was wearing, he stood in place and turned around, and bowed his head in satisfaction: "Of course I believe in your vision, will you be waiting for me at the door today?" ”

Gu Jingcheng stared at Su Xiaomu expectantly, Xu was his gaze was too sincere, Su Xiaomu couldn't say a word of refusal when he looked at him.

"Yes, I will always accompany you to wait for a result after the palace exam."

Su Xiaomu took his luggage from Gu Jingcheng's hands and walked out with him.

It's just that I don't know why, Su Xiaomu always feels a little uneasy in his heart.

Her heart was pounding in her chest, and a feeling of panic swept through her body, adding a bit of depression.

But she didn't know where this depression came from.

"You don't have to be too nervous when you take the palace exam today, just follow your normal heart, in short, you are so outstanding in the exam, you are all from your own real material, and Your Majesty will not embarrass you."

Su Xiaomu originally wanted to tell Gu Jingcheng to be cautious.

But he felt that he shouldn't put pressure on him at this time, so he suppressed this thought.

"Yes, I know it all in my heart, you don't have to worry too much about me, just wait for my good news here."

Gu Jingcheng stretched out his hand and touched Su Xiaomu's head with a smile: "Wait for me." ”

"Okay."

Su Xiaomu's panic in her heart was not reduced, but she didn't dare to pass on such negative emotions to Gu Jingcheng, so she had to suppress it silently.
