Ye Qingyi's ability in embroidery is much better than Gu Jiu imagined.

When Gu Jiu came back, Ye Qingyi would already be able to embroider a lot of cumbersome patterns.

Considering the next children's exam, Gu Jiu bought a lot of things in advance in case of emergency.

"Xiao Jing, don't be nervous when you take the exam tomorrow, you are still young, you just know how to take the test this year, and it will be the same for the test next year."

Gu Jiu helped Gu Jing pack up his things and instructed.

"Hmm." Gu Jing nodded, but what he thought in his heart was that he would have to pass this exam.

The test site was not far from the location of the inn, and the two of them went over after eating early.

"Gu Jiu, you really brought him here. This exam is not for nothing, it has to be paid, you don't think he can really pass the exam, right? ”

Gu Zhiqi walked over and said sarcastically.

The candidates on the side also looked over when they heard the movement, but they were not as excited as Gu Zhiqi.

It is normal for them to come to take the children's exam at the age of six or seven in Cloud City, so they asked themselves who didn't start taking the exam at the age of six or seven. What if it passes?

"Gu Zheqi, don't forget, you started taking the exam when you were five years old. After so many years of taking the exam, you don't look at how much money you have spent! ”

Gu Jiu rolled his eyes, too lazy to talk to Gu Zhen again, and continued to tell Gu Jing.

Gu Zhiqi also closed his mouth rarely, and after a while, Gu Jiu looked up and saw a woman in pink clothes and a maid talking to Gu Zhiqi in a whisper.

Looking at Gu Zhiqi's radiant appearance, I thought that this was the young lady of the Shi family.

The person is good, but his vision is a little worse, and he actually fell in love with Gu Zhiqi!

As time passed, there were more and more people at the gate.

"Xiao Jiu!"

Gu Jiu heard the movement and turned around, just in time to see the village chief coming here with his son.

There were other people from Gujia Village behind him who were rushing here with their children.

"Xiao Jing also wants to take the test?"

"yes, let him go in and try it out and see what the exam looks like."

Gu Jiu and the others were chatting in the open, while Wang Dahu was observing in the dark.

He has been following Gu Jiu for the past few days, seeing that she has been in contact with those people, but there is no abnormality at all for so many days, except for scholars, it is some ordinary people.

Is she sure which of these people will definitely make the list?

Or is there any scholar among these people who is tied to the daughter of which family?

Or maybe she lied that day!

Wang Dahu's face was gloomy, if this girl is really powerless, then wait for the end!

After a while, Wang Guan walked over slowly.

"Brother Wang looks good! I think it's a must-win for this exam! ”

Hearing the flattery of the people on the side, Wang Guan shook his fan and smiled: "It's not worth mentioning." ”

A moment later, when the time came, the door opened, and Gu Jing waved his hand to say goodbye to Ye Qingyi and Gu Jiu.

"Mother, you wait here, I'll go to the store first."

"Okay, you can go quickly."

After saying goodbye to the village chief, Gu Jiu left everyone's sight but did not go to the "Jiuyang Bookstore", but went to the custom shop he went to when he first came to the city.

"Shopkeeper, I don't know if you still remember me."

Gu Jiu entered the door and smiled at the shopkeeper.

Seeing Gu Jiu, the shopkeeper immediately revealed the big gold tooth.

"What, there's a good cocoon again?"

"It's not." Gu Jiu shook his head and said the purpose of this trip.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, looked at Gu Jiu and was silent for a moment and asked, "Do you know what kind of business we are doing here?" It's a meticulous job, and it's not bad in the slightest. ”

Gu Jiu nodded.

"I know that the people in the village don't have much to do every day, and this alone must be very careful. And it doesn't matter if they deal with it, I'll definitely check it and bring it over when they're done. ”

The shopkeeper looked at Gu Jiu and didn't speak, he was going to customize here, and there was no shortage of business at any time of the year, so the process of soaking cocooning and silk was needed at any time.

"I can let you give it a try, I'll give you a hundred cocoons first, one cocoon can pull out a thousand meters of silk, aside from the quality, it can also have seventy or eighty one thousand meters. If you do, then we can work together for a long time in the future. ”

"As for the cost? Draw a cocoon with three copper plates. ”

"No problem."

The shopkeeper nodded: "Then you can come with me to the treasury to get it." ”

After getting the things, Gu Jiu kept buying some wooden board materials.

"What is this for?" Suzuo asked puzzled, looking at the wood disc.

"Make a wire drawer. You see. Saying that, Gu Jiu opened the bag given by the shopkeeper and showed Ling Yang the cocoon inside.

"I found that when people were cocooning, the silk was fixed to a detachable object and then slowly peeled off, which was too slow. I want to make a rotatable disc so that I can turn the handle to pull the wire. ”

Ling Yang nodded as if he didn't understand: "You want to help others draw silk?" ”

"It's not." Gu Jiu shook his head.

"A job for the people in the village."

When I took the difference of a copper plate from each cocoon, alas, it was really not that I was greedy for money, but no, she really couldn't complete the task of the system.

Gold, how many copper plates do you have to earn a tael of gold!

Gu Jiu's hands-on ability is very strong, and combined with the memories of his previous life, he quickly created a simple version of the wire drawing machine.

"So it works?"

"Not yet, this cocoon has to be boiled in hot water first."

Cook for 5 minutes and then rinse with water, after which you can start to shredd.

The first one went smoothly, and Gu Jiu was in a particularly happy mood when he looked at Xinsi.

The children's exam only needs to be tested for one day, and after Gu Jiu showed the silk to the shopkeeper and confirmed that it was okay, Gu Jing left the examination room just after the exam.

"Mother!" Seeing Ye Qingyi, Gu Jing pounced happily, eagerly sharing what he saw and heard inside.

"The questions are all very simple?" Ye Qingyi asked with a smile.

"Hmmm! I will! It's just that the writing is a little slow, and the last question ends a little sloppy, but I think the rest of the answers are good. Gu Jing patted his chest, his face full of joy.

This happy scene naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the rest of the candidates, many of them muttered quietly, and some even walked to Gu Jing and Ye Qingyi's side.

Gu Jing didn't care about them, and eagerly took Ye Qingyi's hand and walked to the inn: "Mother, let's go back quickly, I want to tell my sister in detail about what it's like inside." ”

The results of the children are generally out in three to five days.

When the day came, Gu Jiu pulled Gu Jing to see the list, and Ling Yang deliberately closed the door and accompanied the two of them.

"Aren't you confident these days? Why didn't you dare to go at this time? Looking at the person with his head covered in the quilt, Gu Jiu said with a smile.

"Well, that's different." Gu Jing's voice was a little muffled: "Sister, why don't you and Sister Ling help me go and see it." ”

I don't know what I thought, Gu Jing suddenly burst out of the quilt with a little head: "Sister, if I win, you can buy me a sugar gourd back, if I don't win, you can buy me two, okay?" ”

Gu Jiu smiled dumbly, stepped forward and pulled him out.

"Good. But you have to go by yourself, how can a manly husband not even have this bit of courage, hurry up and get dressed, your sister Ling is still waiting for you outside. ”

By the time the three of them grinded and chirped, the front of the list was already full of people.

"Sister, there are so many people, why don't we come back tomorrow?" Gu Jing asked tentatively.

"No, my sister will have something to do tomorrow."

"Then I'll see for myself."

Gu Jiu lowered his head and rubbed Gu Jing's hair vigorously: "This thing is the best, but it doesn't matter, and it's not a major event that determines life and death." What is there to dare to see? ”

"Xiao Jing, your sister is right, this is not a key and important event that cannot be repeated, there is no need to be so nervous. Let's go, Sister Ling will take you in. ”

After a while, Gu Jiu took the lead in squeezing in.

Looking at the bright red paper in front of him, Gu Jiu looked down from the first name.

There are not many people who have passed, and there are more than 20 people by sight, and I heard the lady next to me say that this is the most time in the past three years.

When he saw the seventh person, Gu Jiu saw the name of Wang Guan, paused, and continued to look down.

With the names crossed one by one, it was not false to say that there was no mood swing, Gu Jiu still hoped that Gu Jing could win the list, but she also knew that Gu Jing's study time was too short, and according to the words of other candidates, this exam was still a little difficult.

Just when Gu Jiu saw the twentieth, Gu Jing suddenly pointed to the penultimate name excitedly and shouted.

"Sister, you see it's me, I'm twenty-one!"

Gu Jiu and Ling Yang, as well as the others nearby, were immediately attracted to the past.

Gu Jiu looked at both sides carefully, and there was no mistake in one stroke at a time.

"Ah, this kid looks like he's only six or seven years old! I can be a child at such a young age, and my qualifications are quite good! What kind of book did the little brother read before the exam? ”

Gu Jing was stunned, what kind of bookstore, he only knew that his sister had opened a bookstore.

"Jiuyang Bookstore."

"Oh! Good, good, good. ”

Hearing the old man's words, Gu Jiu immediately smelled a business opportunity, and pulled Ling Yang and Gu Jing out of the crowd.

"Xiao Jiu, what's wrong?" Suzuo was puzzled.

"It's time for a big job."

After Gu Jiu asked Gu Jing for a string of sugar gourds as agreed, he immediately took Ling Yang and went to several nearby bookstores to buy books.

"Xiao Jiu, we don't specialize in selling this, why do we suddenly want so many books?"

Suzuo was puzzled as he held a dozen books.

"Sell for money."

"But these books are common."

Gu Jiu was about to explain, but suddenly saw that the old man just now was inquiring about the "Jiuyang Bookstore", and he didn't have time to explain to Ling Yang, so he quickly pulled her back to the bookstore.

Sure enough, after a while, a lot of people gathered outside the bookstore.

"Ladies and gentlemen, these are books from our store, you can flip through them as you like."

Gu Jiu and Ling Yang put away the booklet and pushed the book they had just bought.

"Take this one!"

One of them didn't look at it, and directly chose the most broken one and paid quickly. If it is rotten like this, it must be the most borrowed.

"Okay, there's a deposit here."

"No problem."

After this incident, the reputation of "Jiuyang Bookstore" gradually emerged, and more and more people wanted to see what was so special about this bookstore, and even let a child who was just seven years old be admitted to Tongsheng.

At the same time, there was a shortage of brochures in the store.

"Jiuyang Bookstore" has also become an excuse for many scholars to come to this land of smoke and willows.

"Sister, I'll go back to the village and lie down first, and I'll have worked hard for you in the store for the past few days."

Gu Jiu said while packing up his baggage.

"No problem, you go and come back quickly."

Sitting in the carriage of the village, after a whole day of bumps, Gu Jiu knocked on the door of the village chief's house on time that night.

"Xiao Jiu, why did you come back suddenly? Come on, come on, come in. ”

It was Aunt Xia who opened the door, and when she saw Gu Jiu, she happily answered her in.

"Have you eaten? I didn't eat Aunt Xia to make it for you, you don't know how lucky your aunt is today, picking such a big basket full of mushrooms! Aunt Xia said as she happily gestured to Gu Jiu.
