Chapter 278: Preparing for the Academy Exam

Who said it was this morning, it was already noon when the morning came, Zhou Banxia replied without blinking, no.

"I've got all the slips."

"No way, I'll put it-"

Gu Wenxuan couldn't help laughing.

"Don't laugh or anything before you finish your sentence." Zhou Banxia smacked him angrily, "Let go of me, Xiaohe is coming." ”

"No, it won't."

The little thing is clever.

Just came back from outside, he would never take the initiative to run to his two houses, at this time, he was either endorsing and practicing big characters, or he was chatting with Dajiang about what he saw and heard in the Lin Mansion.

Very smart kids.

Knowing that his third sister loves his two brothers, every time he receives a meeting gift, he doesn't tidy up and keep it himself, and it is safer to hand it over to his third sister than to hand it over to his father.

But if the study is delayed, his third sister will not get used to him, and the amount of homework that should be completed every day will never be left until the next day, for fear that his third sister will be annoyed and punish him.

"How much does it cost now?"

"Yours, it's still three to one."

Gu Wenxuan heard it, he dared to love just arrived the day before yesterday, and he took Xiaohe to go shopping yesterday to collect news.

He nodded clearly, "The hospital test is different from the government test, Xiucai is to enter the class of 'scholars', and it is unlikely that there is any collusion in the dark box operation, and there is no need to protect the plate." ”

"It's very likely, and there's no way to protect the disk, this time, including you, the two heads of the four mansions and eight mansions, each with extraordinary backgrounds, is not small."

As he spoke, Zhou Banxia folded his fingers and gave Gu Wenxuan the information of the other six government heads, as for the remaining two government heads, it was okay not to mention them.

The head of this year's house of Baocheng Mansion is Gu Wenxuan, and the head of last year's house case is a student from Jingshan Academy.

This senior brother is not only rich, but also a child of an official family, and the six who also have the lowest family background are also scholars, and each of them is quite famous in the local area.

Gu Wenxuan was speechless for a while after hearing this, he really can't go anywhere! "So I'm the poorest, the lowest?"

"The lowest status is not counted, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, after all, you are the only student of your uncle, otherwise the odds would not be as low as one to three so early."

As he spoke, Zhou Banxia slapped him up, "Among the eight people, there are five people who have won two cases like you, and only three of the six of you are one to three."

This odds means that the casino is optimistic that any of the three of you can win three yuan, otherwise it will be either a loss of six or a loss of five like the other five people. ”

Gu Wenxuanmo.

"Isn't it stressful?"

"No, it won't. Before I came, I heard Mr. and Uncle Lin mention that the competition in the annual college examination is fierce, and I know that whether Senior Brother Zheng and I can win the list depends first of all.

But listening to you say this, I seem to have the advantage again, after all, I am the only one in the peasant family, and if I don't let me win a small three yuan, the court will not want the people's hearts. ”

!

Zhou Banxia couldn't help laughing, "Didn't you say that the three yuan in the middle and small ones is not good, it is enough to make a profit, and you have to fight hard?" ”

"Who are you betting on first?"

"You answer me first."

Gu Wenxuan pondered for a moment, "The truth is, after reading the answer sheets of the other seven government examinations, as long as the examiner is not deliberately making things difficult, I am seventy percent sure."

The lie is that the foundation is too thin, it was a fluke before, and I didn't dare to expect extravagance, so I closed the door and thanked the guests, concentrated on reading the book, and looked forward to the first ranking, and lived up to the cold window for ten years. ”

Seventy percent sure?

Not bad.

"I'll take you alone."

"How much did you bet?"

"A hundred taels of silver."

Gu Wenxuan immediately gasped, and covered Zhou Banxia's heart with one hand, "It's stressed, you man and I are under so much pressure, listen quickly, my heartbeat is so fast, uh, I made a mistake." ”

Zhou Banxia laughed.

A stupid daughter-in-law, "I haven't explained honestly, I'm tickling." ”

"Don't!" Zhou Banxia's laughter stopped abruptly in fright, and he grabbed his hand tightly, "Ten silver tickets with a denomination of one hundred taels of silver, let Dahua and Jiaxing take three people to take them to the custody respectively." ”

"It's pretty much the same, the two of them are okay. This time, don't bring your aunt (Xiaobai's) to bet, and no one's chances of winning will be low. ”

"Understand, just play once and make money, and it's not beautiful to make trouble again regardless of whether you win or lose. No, I've already told them not to talk too much. ”

Gu Wenxuan believed this.

Although his daughter-in-law sometimes hides from him to make some small moves, in terms of external human affairs, his daughter-in-law is more expert than him, and her personality has not collapsed so far.

"Okay, I'm going to review, try to make you triple your earnings, and buy you flowers to wear. Bastard thing, why is there only one to three, or to open a gambling house in the province. ”

"People don't call it a gambling house."

"Changle Fang?"

"That's right, big brother, you even know this." Zhou Banxia got off the ground, pulled his robe, and pushed him to the study, "That's it, I won't hide it from you." ”

"It's too late to confess that you were caught by me, right? Play and play, don't be too concerned, when I go to see Mr. Wang tomorrow, I really can't take care of you. ”

After visiting the shopkeeper of the king the next day, Gu Wenxuan was just as he said, and for a while, he really didn't care about what he did in the middle of the summer.

Except for three days and a trip to the Lin Mansion with the articles made by Dajiang Belt, no matter what post invitation is sent, he will not leave the inner courtyard for half a step, and there is no permanent study room day and night.

When the weather became hotter day by day, he stripped off his robe, put on his clothes and pants directly, made a large teapot of tea, and seriously nested in the study to review.

Like him, Oe also doubles his hard work day and night.

Taking advantage of the period before the start of the college examination, the articles and strategies presented by each family were written silently from beginning to end, lest they miss anything.

Seeing this, Zhou Banxia deliberately tried to minimize the number of times he went out, and handed over the procurement and purchase matters to Gu Dahua, deliberately slowing down the pace of his life.

Every day, they either quietly arrange nutritious meals that meet their tastes, or stay under their noses to hide from the heat, so that they can study and prepare for exams with peace of mind.

In the middle of summer, it came suddenly, and the day of the hospital examination soon came.

Before the middle of the day, I took the carriage to the stop place divided by the Zhending Tribute Courtyard, and it was not yet at the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, and the surrounding crowd was already in an endless stream at this time.

Mo Daojun was early, and there were even earlier.

It is said that there are tens of thousands of candidates who came to Zhending Mansion to take the college examination this year, and some of the candidates also brought small servants or family members.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a sea of people, and there are so many people that you can't hear if you don't speak loudly.

If I hadn't been here yesterday, I would have known where the waiting area for candidates in Baocheng Mansion was, and I would have to open my voice to inquire if I wanted to consult.

Fortunately, the soldiers with long swords at their waists maintained order, and there was a passage that could accommodate two people from the place where the carriage stopped to the waiting area for candidates from each prefecture divided in front of the Gongyuan.
