Chapter 31 The Dark Horse
When she woke up the next day, Gu Man found that she still woke up from her bed.

Gu Man only felt that she was going to die of anger.

Later, every one or two days, Cheng Mo always came to Gu Man's room before falling asleep, but Cheng Mo never asked Gu Man to sleep with him again.It was still him sleeping on the bed, Gu Man sleeping on the couch, and when Gu Man woke up, she woke up on the bed again.

Later, the resentment of the women in the courtyard towards Ji Moyan gradually shifted to Gu Man.

Looking at Gu Man's listless look, he felt even more angry.

But how did they know how painful Gu Man is every day!
Of course, Ji Moyan knew about it!

Finally, the Qiuwei exam is coming.A few days before the Qiuwei exam, Cheng Mo was busy day and night, and in the end he didn't even have time to go home, so he lived outside the Hou's mansion in order to work.

Finally, Gu Man can sleep soundly!
On this day, Gu Man was leisurely lying on the rocking chair basking in the sun, but suddenly heard Qing'er chatting with some cleaning maids.

So he called Qing'er over and asked.

Qing'er said: "Ma'am, it was Xiaocui who said that the imperial examination is about to begin, and there are many candidates from all over the country who came here to catch the exam. Now, it's very lively outside!"

"Really?" Gu Man thought in her heart.

While talking, Ji Moyan walked in and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about? So lively?"

Gu Man immediately stood up and greeted her, "Yan'er, I heard that there are a lot of students coming to rush for the exam outside, it's very lively, why don't we join in the fun too!"

"Is this okay?" Ji Moyan was a little moved and hesitant.

"What's wrong, I'll be bored to death in this Marquis Mansion all day long, let's change into men's clothes and go secretly, no one will know us!"

Ji Moyan grew up outside without restraint, since she came to the Marquis Mansion, she had to restrain her behavior.Now that he was hooked by Gu Man, his heart was ready to move. It didn't matter how Gu Man tried to persuade him, but he agreed.

It was too late to say it, and then soon, Gu Man and Ji Moyan changed their clothes.

After leaving the Hou Mansion, the two felt a freedom they had never had before.

As the imperial examinations are approaching, there are more and more people setting up stalls on the street, among which the people who sell the examination papers of previous years and fortune-telling stalls are the most.

There are always many people who hope to hear some nice words from a fortune teller so that they can increase their confidence.

There are even crowds of people on the street, which is more lively than the people hoarding new year's goods during the Chinese New Year.

There are also many women on the street, and they all look at the faces of those scholars who are rushing to take the exam, as if they are picking a son-in-law.

Gu Man dragged Ji Moyan into the busiest crowd.

As they walked, the two of them came to a restaurant, which was named "Jidi Building" very cleverly.

It means "the champion and the first"!
Many people will come to live in this restaurant in order to win a good fortune.

This restaurant has a total of seven floors, the first floor is where ordinary people eat, and the second floor is where the owner of the restaurant set up a gamble to prevent the candidate who will win the first prize and win the Jinshi examination.

This gamble can be regarded as a tradition of this restaurant.

The third and fourth floors are where the students eat, and the remaining three floors are where they live.

Gu Man brought Ji Moyan into the restaurant, and saw a man dressed like a junior walking over.

The man looked to be in his 20s, with a flattering smile on his face. Seeing Gu Man and Ji Moyan's extraordinary clothes, he came up to him and asked with a smile, "The two young masters look strange, don't they also come to place a bet?"

"Bet? What bet?" Gu Man and Ji Moyan were puzzled at the same time.

Seeing this, the waiter in the shop became interested, guessing that the two of them must be from other places, and said: "This is a traditional activity of our "Jidilou", the two young masters are from other places, right?"

Gu Man nodded, but she wasn't lying!

Ji Moyan herself is not from the capital, and she, Gu Man, is the one who can't be outsider.

The waiter in the store smiled even more earnestly, "No wonder the two young masters don't know, the gambling game opened in the "Jidi Building" has been a tradition for several years, and there are no local people in the capital who don't know, why don't you introduce it to the two of you? If you find it interesting, the two young masters can also place a bet for entertainment!"

Gu Man thought it was quite interesting, and the book did not mention the "Jidilou" gambling game, so she nodded.

On the side, Ji Moyan whispered with some scruples: "Sister, it's better to say goodbye, don't be contaminated with gambling!"

Gu Man patted Ji Moyan lightly, "Let's listen to it first, and then talk about it if it's really interesting!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at the waiter in the shop, "Brother, please tell me!"

The shop waiter smiled and led Gu Man and Ji Moyan to the second floor, "Young masters, please follow me, let's talk as we walk."

Gu Man nodded, and led Ji Moyan upstairs.

The clerk led the way in front of the store, and turned around and said, "This second floor is specially opened by our shopkeeper, so that ordinary people in the capital can participate in betting! Look here!"

Go up to the second floor and turn left, and you will see a wall covered with wooden signs with the names of the candidates who came to participate in the scientific examination.

The waiter said: "The ones hanging on this wall are all candidates who are most likely to pass the Jinshi exam in this year's scientific examination!" Then the waiter took off a sign near him and turned it over, " You see, behind each nameplate there are odds!"

Gu Man took it and looked at it. The name on the wooden sign was Zhang Wenxing.

Hmm... I have no impression!

Odds: 24 for one!

Gu Man has an impression of the top three in this scientific examination, it was mentioned in the book.

Gu Man looked up at the many famous brands on the wall, and suddenly asked: "Is there a brand of Liu Changqing?"

The shop waiter suddenly excitedly said: "You also know Mr. Liu Changqing Liu?"

Gu Man nodded.

The shop clerk said with a smile: "That's right, it's not surprising that Mr. Liu is well-known for his talent!"

As he said that, the waiter took down Liu Changqing's nameplate from the highest place on the wall, the first place in the first row, and handed it to Gu Man with both hands.

Gu Man took it and turned it over.

Odds: [-] to [-].

Or say ten gambling and nine rapes!The odds of being the easiest to pass the exam are smaller.

Seeing this, the waiter hurriedly said: "Everyone knows the reputation of Liu's great talent. This year, he must win the top spot, so Mr. Liu's odds are less. However, there will be dark horses in Beijing every year! You can't say for sure. It's not certain that the candidate who was not favored won the first place!"

Gu Man nodded, indeed!This year, there will be a dark horse that stuns everyone's jaws!Others don't know, but she knows, and she is the only one who knows!
Gu Man laughed, isn't this God chasing and sending money?
Gu Man felt the benefits of time travel for the first time!
