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

Chapter 34 Chapter 34
Gu Tongsheng, Pei Yanhua, and An Chuxia bought them a pair of pine smoke ink as gifts.

The teacher's wife, Gu's An Chuxia, had nothing to buy, so she bought a piece of cloth and asked her to make clothes by herself.

I also bought two bolts of fine cotton cloth, waiting to go back to give it to Grandma An's house, and I couldn't let my third cousin Bai follow.

As for those fellow clans who sent over a dozen or twenty coins, An Chuxia decided to bring a piece of pastry to each family when they went back, as a token of appreciation.

Seeing that An Chuxia bought so many things, Gu Fangmiao wanted to buy them for her, but An Chuxia stopped her.

She bought something to thank her teacher, so she and Gu Fangmiao didn't need it.

In the end, An Chuxia suggested that Gu Fangmiao could also bring some gifts to her family, and her teacher Pei Yanhua, just to express their feelings.

After all, the Gu family only opened one private school, and the teacher Gu Tong's salary was very low. Even if the family had some savings, it was probably reserved for Gu Fangmiao's imperial examinations.

She is different. For more than a year, the family has been in the town, a tavern, and a restaurant. The amount of stewed chicken, stewed duck, stewed goose, and stewed meat each year has a total net income of 200 taels of silver.

And my elder brother sells stewed pork at the wharf. Their family's current savings are still considerable.

She can still afford to buy these gifts.

The two happily bought a bunch of things, hired a carriage and took them to the door of the inn. After moving back to the room, Gu Tongsheng called them into the room and gave them a harsh lecture.

Only then did the two little girls calm down, and they didn't dare to go wandering in Fucheng anymore.

Three days passed quickly. An Chuxia had received a modern education and acted rationally, but the laziness in her bones was also real.

Every time as long as someone helps to read the list, she is absolutely unwilling to squeeze to read the list.

It was the same this time. The third cousin had no problem reading the list because he had read the book for two years. Before dawn, he couldn't help but ran to the place where the list was posted and waited. He almost spent the night there.

Even Gu Tongsheng couldn't hold back this time, and he wandered around to watch the list just after dawn.

When An Chuxia came back from washing, she saw a girl who was bigger than herself sleeping on the bed, she couldn't help but shook her head amusedly.

It's also very good, with a simple mind, such a person is the easiest to get happiness.

Not long after, An Shouyu brought back Gu Tongsheng whose clothes had been pulled crookedly, both of them also had happy expressions on their faces.

An Chuxia doesn't need to ask, she and Gu Fangmiao should both be on the list.

If one of them wasn't on the list, neither of them would have made such a face.

Gu Tongsheng looked at himself, this monstrous student, and wondered where she was so calm, but saw him and An Shouyu coming in.

She can still eat the wontons in her bowl with a calm face, without asking about the results of the government test.

In contrast, his granddaughter is inferior.

His face and eyes are full of inquiries, although this is what a normal person should show, but after all, his heart is too shallow and not calm enough.

"Xiao Xia, you are the pride of our An family!" An Shouyu said with a smile on his lips, but the corners of his eyes were a little wet.

Gu Tongsheng also pouted his beard proudly, as if he was afraid that the people eating in the lobby would not hear him, he said happily, "Stinky girl, you came back with another test.

I'm always pressing down on your junior sister, teacher, I'm almost unhappy. "

If it weren't for seeing his mouth that was about to grin to the ears, everyone would really believe what he said.

The other teachers who were eating in the lobby all turned their heads tacitly.

Such blatant showing off is really too much.

An Chuxia finished the last bite of wonton, stood up and helped her teacher to sit down, then turned to ask Xiao Er to bring over two more bowls of wonton.

If the teacher stood there with his head held high, showing off like a proud peacock, she was afraid that the teachers sitting at the other tables couldn't help but beat him with bowls.

"The third cousin also sat down, and the wontons will be served in a while. Eat a bowl of wontons to warm up your body."

I really admire his spirit, he ran out in the middle of the night, and now he is still standing here in good spirits.

"Grandfather, you are too much, how can you forget me, whether I am on the list, you haven't told me yet?!"

Gu Fangmiao waited for a long time, saw that her grandfather and sister An's cousin didn't say how she did in the exam, and said in disbelief.

Only then did Gu Tongsheng realize that he had forgotten about his granddaughter when he was happy, and glanced at An Shouyu, wondering why you didn't say anything.

An Shouyu lowered his head innocently, didn't he also forget it.

The people around finally felt a little more balanced when they heard this. They thought that Gu Tongsheng didn't mention another student's grade because Gu Fangmiao failed the exam.

But the fact is that they were disappointed after all.

Gu Tongsheng's voice was much softer this time, but joy could still be heard in his voice, "You are the same as the last county test this time, and you still ranked No.3!"

Even so, the students and teachers at several tables nearby still heard what they said.

They didn't feel like they gasped, how profound knowledge this old gentleman had to teach such two outstanding female students.

Some students have already moved their minds and decided to find out where the old gentleman teaches after returning home, and whether they can also study under his disciples.

Now that the results are known, after breakfast and seeing that the sky is still early, he should be able to hire a carriage and return to town in time.

Gu Tongsheng was unwilling to spend another night at such an expensive room rate, and insisted on going back today.

Halfway through the carriage, An Shouyu suddenly remembered that when An Chuxia asked him to read the list, he stopped by to see if there was someone named Dong Linlin.

So An Shouyu, who was sitting in front of the carriage, turned his head to An Chuxia who was in the carriage and said, "Xiao Xia, let me see if there is anyone named Dong Linlin on the list.

I seem to see that this name is at the bottom of the list, so it should also be on the list. "

An Chuxia was not surprised to hear this result. Being able to rank in the top of the county examination does not mean that she will rank high in the examination in the future.

Dong Xiucai did a good job in his daughter's basic knowledge, but due to the limitations of his own knowledge, Dong Linlin's knowledge became more and more insufficient as she passed the exam.

Why is it difficult for a poor family to produce a noble child, most of them are because of insufficient background.

If it wasn't for a coincidence that she entered the Gu family's private school and was valued by her teacher Gu Tongsheng, who asked her to read all the extremely precious books in that room.

No matter how hard she tried today, she would not get such a good result.

After running for a whole day, the carriage finally entered Qingshi Town in the evening.

When they arrived at Gu's house, Gu Shi was desperately unwilling to let them go home in the dark, and insisted on An Chuxia and An Shouyu stay for one night, and then go back tomorrow.

An Chuxia's hospitality was hard to turn down, so she had to stay for one night.

She took out the presents for Gu Tongsheng and Gu Shi and gave them to them, but she was told again not to waste money next time.

When they are old, they just need to have what they eat, wear, and use, and they don't have to be so particular about it.

An Chuxia agreed wholeheartedly, but thought in her heart that as long as she had it herself, there would be no shortage of things used by her mentor and elder.
