A poor family counterattacks, she is beautiful and sassy on the way to the imperial examination

Chapter 23 23 Ranking
An Chuxia opened her eyes when she heard footsteps, and saw that it was the county magistrate, the chief examiner, showing a friendly and polite smile to the darkened adult.

Then calmly sat up straight, picked up a brush and dipped it in ink, unfolded the paper, and continued to answer questions.

The county magistrate Guo, whose face turned black, was surprised to find that the female student, who was sleeping, had already finished half of the papers.

And the rolls were neat and clean, he stood there looking at them for a while, and answered the questions cleverly.

The silently written paragraphs are even more verbatim.

County magistrate Guo nodded, the anger from just now had long since disappeared from his face, and even a look of admiration appeared on his face.

After the county magistrate left, An Chuxia finished all the remaining papers in one go, and saw that someone was already eating during the break.

She also took out the pancakes and stewed pork that her teacher's wife had put in the test basket, chewed them slowly, and drank some water.

Then I carefully checked the finished paper several times from beginning to end, and after confirming that it was correct, I put it in the roll bag, and then sat on the chair again and continued to close my eyes and meditate.

The county magistrate has been paying attention to this side consciously or unconsciously, knowing that she is really capable, not blindly arrogant.

From seeing An Chuxia carefully check the finished paper several times, County Magistrate Guo has a better impression of her.

Not only is he good at learning, but he is also very serious in doing things. He will not be blindly confident because of his strong ability.

Those who are prudent and prudent in doing things, both men and women, will surely do something.

Many examinees in the examination room also recognized An Chuxia, the female student who handed in blank papers in the county examination every year, and saw him sleeping in the examination room again this time.

They couldn't help but shook their heads, thinking that she was so stupid that she was not suitable for reading at all.

I also think that An Chuxia's family is a little confused. They have read the book like this, and they continue to confess. Her family is not confused.

After Dong Linlin checked the papers she made, she showed a satisfied expression on her face. She was very confident in her knowledge.

Her father told her that with her knowledge, she could have passed the county examination two years earlier. The reason why she has not been allowed to take the examination is that she has to study for two more years, so that her ranking in the examination will be higher.

Dong Linlin clenched her fist for No. 1 in the county test, she was sure to win.

With the sound of the gong, the first county examination was officially completed.

Afterwards, the official Shi who came in quickly collected the papers, the door of the examination room was opened, and the candidates poured out like a tide.

An Chuxia saw the students scrambling towards the gate, she stood there without moving, while Gu Fangmiao walked over to her from the crowd.

"Why don't you leave, Sister An?!"

An Chuxia picked up the test basket and pulled her, "Wait for you!" Then she followed the crowd and walked towards the door.

"Xia Xia, Miss Gu, here!"

As soon as the two came out, An Jinchen who was standing on the boulder saw them.

He and Runsheng hurried over to take the test baskets of the two little girls, and Runsong protected them out of the crowd.

Because Runsong is working in the Yamen, the rented house is of course not far from here.

Run Song sent them to the corner of the alley and said, "Go back first, I will patrol here for a while."

"Okay! Brother Runsong, let's go back first."

"Well! Come back!"

When An Chuxia and the others walked out of the alley, they saw that Gu Tongsheng and Gu Shi were already standing at the gate, looking over here.

When Gu Shi saw them coming back, he quickly went up to meet them. Gu Tongsheng took a step forward, and then stood still pretending to be serious.

An Chuxia found that the teacher also cared about them very much, but she still had to try to maintain her face, pretending to be calm, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips to look over.

Then Gu Tongsheng gave him a hard look and muttered, "Stinky girl, if you want to see my jokes, there's no way!"

Then he flicked his sleeves and turned around and entered the yard.

"Old thing! I don't know who it is. After the two children left, they walked around the yard like a donkey. Why are you pretending to be calm and steady now!"

Gu Tongsheng didn't expect that his old background would be thrown out so quickly, pouted his beard at Gu Shi, and walked into the room with a snort.

Gu Shi looked at An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao with pity and said, "You guys wash up first, and I'll serve the hot food in the pot, and you can rest after eating."

"Thank you, Mrs. Ma!"

"Silly girl, be polite to me!"

Gu Tongsheng walked out of the house after seeing his old wife who always loved to expose his old background left.

After observing it, I saw that An Chuxia and her granddaughter looked fine, and they didn't feel anxious after the exam.

The heart was relaxed, and then asked: "How is it? Did the exam go well?"

An Chuxia said seriously, "Yes! It's all done."

Gu Fangmiao was even more heartless, and replied easily: "I'm the same as Sister An, I've finished everything."

Gu Tongsheng stared at his eyes and raised his beard, no matter how he looked at it, he felt like he wanted to curse someone.

"..." Is that what he meant by asking? !
Shouldn't the two of them talk about the process and questions of the exam seriously and carefully?

"Let the children eat first, and ask any questions later!"

Gu Shi brought two dishes and one soup to the table, and with a single sentence, he sent Gu Tongsheng back to the room.

Although the exam is not physically demanding, it is very energy-consuming.

An Chuxia felt better and didn't feel too tired, but she still listened to Gu Shi's words, and went back to the room to rest after eating.

After an afternoon and a night of reviewing.

The next morning.

The list of the first county examination was posted by the official history on a special building, more than ten feet high, with eaves on the wall.

Because there is no need for An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao to go to see the list, so the two girls are bigger than the other.

One got up early and sat by the window to read a book, while the other was still in bed.

Gu Shi nervously looked for work everywhere, and she wiped the table at home two or three times.

Gu Tongsheng was holding a book in his hand, but he kept looking at the door, which betrayed his mood at the moment.

Although he felt that his proud student and granddaughter's knowledge could pass the county examination.

But when taking the exam, apart from your own knowledge, you also need to have a certain amount of luck. No one will know the final result until the list is released.

"You just read, don't keep walking around in the yard, it makes me dizzy!" Gu Shi said with disgust.

Gu Tongsheng paused "..." Did he circle around again?

Just as the old couple were staring at each other in the yard, a sound of hurried running came in.

"On the list, on the list..."

An Jinchen, who was running away with a flushed face, pushed open the courtyard door vigorously, looking at An Chuxia who was looking through the window with reddish corners of his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, he forcibly suppressed his excitement, turned his head to Gu Tongsheng and Gu Shi and said, "Congratulations, Miss Gu is ranked No.5 in the county test list!"

Gu Shi looked happy, and asked with concern: "What about Xia Xia?!"
