Chapter 521
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of the scientific examination.

The scientific examination is divided into the college examination, the township examination, the general examination and the palace examination.

The first two are local exams, and I have already passed the exam last year, but the exam has been delayed due to various reasons.

From the beginning of the general examination, it is necessary to enter the Beijing Unified Examination, so the capital has been very lively recently. On the day of the examination, the outside of the Gongyuan was even more crowded with candidates.

Mrs. Guo went to the temple to pray for blessings but has not come back yet.

Gu Nanyan was also quite speechless about her not paying attention to the major events in her son's life.

Gu Qing and Gu Yao had to go to court early in the morning, and Gu Shen also had to go to the military camp, so as a younger sister, Gu Nanyan had to get up early and take Gu Yunze and Gu Congyuan to the Gongyuan.

What surprised her even more was that the Min family, who was always patriarchal, didn't come along.

Instead, he followed Gu Peilan to tidy up the shop.

Gu Nanyan stared at the sky speechlessly, looking at the parents of the candidates who came to cheer up at the entrance of the Gongyuan, it was the first time that she felt that the adults in the family were quite unreliable.

The two parties were fine, they strolled into the examination room with the examination box specially prepared for them by Gu Nanyan.

The examination is divided into three days. Candidates who enter the Gongyuan will be locked inside and cannot get out.

Therefore, after the figures of the two disappeared, Gu Nanyan returned to the mansion.

Three days later, the gate of the Tribute Academy opened again, and the candidates who had been tortured for many days came out listlessly.

Some were depressed, while some looked excited even though their clothes were disheveled, probably because they felt that they did well in the exam.

The two Gu Yunze brothers were at the back, they didn't look in the slightest bit of distress, they were still two handsome young men.

It is particularly conspicuous among these candidates.

Gu Yunze was relatively restrained, and when he saw that the person picking them up was Gu Nanyan, the corners of his mouth immediately curled up.

Gu Congyuan was different, shaking his loose robe, his feet quickly slapped her in front of her.

"Why is Gu Xiaopang you again, where are my mother and sister Lan?" Gu Congyuan looked disgusted, but there was a smile in his eyes.

Gu Nanyan glanced at him sideways, and stretched out her white and tender fingers to push him away.

"They don't have time, and I'm not here to pick you up...go far away, it stinks."

The examination room in the Gong Yuan didn’t even have a window, and it was very stuffy. Candidates were not allowed to go out except to go to the toilet, let alone take a bath. At most, they wiped themselves with a damp cloth.

Thanks to Gu Nanyan's sensitive five senses, although the smell on Gu Congyuan's body is not strong, it still suffocates her.

Gu Congyuan froze, twisted his skirt and smelled it.

However, after being bored in the exam room for three days, he couldn't tell the smell away, so he moved up to Gu Congyuan and sniffed for a long time.

Gu Yunze pushed him away with a dark face: "Stop making trouble, the teacher is still waiting for us."

After that, he got into the car first, and said to Gu Nanyan with a smile: "Second sister, please tell us to send us to Taifu's mansion, we won't go back in a few days."

There will be three days for the general examination, three days for marking the papers, and then the palace examination.

Taifu Bai said that the results of the two of them will be fine after passing the examination, and then they must prepare for the palace examination with all their strength.

Gu Nanyan nodded slightly, and told the coachman to go to Taifu's residence.

Then he took out two pieces of hair cakes from the food box behind him.

"I know that my second brother will definitely pass the examination, but the custom must not be broken. This was steamed by the cook in the mansion early in the morning, and it is just right for my stomach."

Fat Cake - a fortune and high rise.

Gu Yunze took it with a smile and gave it to Gu Congyuan.

Gu Congyuan was a little disgusted. He had eaten this food before. He took an exam in another place before, and when he came out, he saw that the candidates were buying this food on the side of the road, so he followed the crowd and bought a piece.

No flavor, just a little sour.

But it was prepared by Gu Nanyan himself, so as an elder brother, he must give face.

The hair cake is not too big, just two or three mouthfuls, and the two of them finish it quickly.

Taifu Bai is not in the mansion. As the chief examiner, he is also responsible for grading the papers. He has not been in the mansion for these three days.

But before he went out, he had already arranged the homework for the two students, and the Gu family brothers only needed to review step by step.

The palace examination is different from the general examination. What is tested is not only the content of the books, but mostly related to state affairs.

It was Li Mi who wrote the test, and only he knew what the test was about, and Mrs. Bai could only get a rough idea of ​​the direction.

Therefore, in the next three days, the reading volume of the two Gu family brothers was very large, involving various aspects.

Gu Nanyan didn't want to waste their time, so he sent them off and left.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Liu came back that afternoon.

Of course, Mrs. Guo also came back together.

The three women entered the door energetically, and one of them stuffed a piece of talisman paper folded into a triangle for her.

Knowing that Gu Yunze had gone to the Tai Tuo's mansion and would not be back for a few days, he didn't care, so he stuffed two more talisman papers for her and asked her to send them to their brothers when she had time.

At the end, I added a sentence, forget it if you don’t have time.

Then Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Liu left hand in hand, discussing where to go next time while walking.

Gu Nanyan: "..."

Didn't you go to eat fast and pray for blessings? Why do you look at these two old ladies as if they have participated in a five-day tour.

And to be honest, forget about Gu Congyuan, but Gu Yunze is your grandson and eldest son.

Why can't we pay more attention to such a big matter as the imperial examination?
Do you have faith in him or do you have faith?

Gu Nanyan carried five talisman papers in her pocket with a wooden face, and at this moment she felt like a second-hand dealer selling talismans outside the temple gate.

Pray for peace of mind, but you don't have to ask for one each.

If this goes out...

Well, all the little girls wear jingle bells, but she is good, with three talismans around her neck.

Guo looked at her like that, covered her mouth and laughed.

"These three talismans are not the same thing, each has a different effect, you just have to figure it out."

A wish for a successful marriage.

A wish to have a son early.

A hope for harmony between husband and wife.

The three work in division of labor.

Guo Shi touched her head with soft eyes.

Gu Nanyan curled the corners of her lips and put the talisman paper inside her skirt, and pressed it against her chest, feeling a warm current in her heart.

……

The ranking day will be released in three days.

The servants of the general's mansion went to wait early in the morning.

It wasn't until after noon that I came back happily, and said congratulations when I entered the door.

Gu Yunze ranked first by everyone's expectations.

Although it is not the result of the imperial examination, it is also very happy.

Mrs. Gu was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear. Gu Yao, who came here to hear the news, was equally happy, and immediately rewarded the boy who came back to report the news with five taels of silver.

But I was so envious of others, I blamed my legs for lagging behind.

Fortunately, Gu Yao also tipped each of them two taels of silver.

The general's mansion was peaceful and harmonious.

However, although everyone was happy about Gu Yunze's achievements, they were not surprised.

What surprised them was Gu Congyuan.

Gu Congyuan took third place in the exam.

The top three test papers were posted together with the red list, and people who watched the list talked a lot.

The messenger boy smiled pleasantly: "The little one doesn't understand these things, but the big guys say that the third young master's answer is no worse than that of No. a great advantage.”

Pavilion style, also known as Taige style.

This kind of font is square and neat, and the written articles look rigorous and neat.

Especially when the imperial examinations are held, they are very popular with the marking officials.

It is said that the Hanlin Academy also used this font to copy books.

Gu Nanyan has seen Gu Congyuan's handwriting, and it is wild and unruly with a little escape, which is very similar to his own personality.

Although it is not ugly, it can even be regarded as self-contained.

But the imperial examination is not a calligraphy competition, relatively speaking, the pavilion style is more popular.

After all, there are many candidates, so the pavilion structure looks smoother.

Just imagine if every examinee answers the paper in cursive, and the marking officer just needs to distinguish what they wrote, and he will be bald.

Gu Yao, a martial artist, doesn't understand these things, but Gu Qing does.

He pondered for a moment and said: "The face-taking is an important part of the general examination, but it has little impact on the palace examination. I think that this kid from Congyuan may not be able to get a good rank in the examination."

 Cough cough, I forgot to mention yesterday, little cuties vote monthly, the author is saving the manuscript, and is preparing to update the monthly ticket, with [-] words as the basis, as for the number of votes...

  Feel free to do it for the first time, as long as it makes sense, it happens to be during the recent double period.

  Voting time: 10.1 - 10.10
  Come on, little cuties~
  Finally, that sentence!
  I love you~(з(c)
