After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

"Tch, I have a lot of money for your meal, but since you have already told Jingcheng, I will not continue to talk about you, you can stand on tiptoe and have a look, have you seen Jingcheng before?" ?”

Finally, it was time for the Gong Yuan to open the door, and the door was completely surrounded. Su Xiaomu was not particularly tall, and she couldn't see the people inside even when she stood on tiptoe.

And the people standing around kept squeezing her. If Su Xiaomu hadn't been thinking about Gu Jingcheng at the moment, he would really have scolded them.

"I'm watching, I'm watching!"

Zhou Lin was also squeezed until his face was distorted, but he still tried his best to keep his eyes wide open, not daring to blink.

After the gate of the Tribute Academy opened, the students who took the exam poured out.

After these nine days of wasting, most of them were listless and walked out with tired faces.

Zhou Lin saw that they looked like they had been drained of energy, and became more and more worried about Gu Jingcheng, so he looked forward even harder, and finally saw Gu Jingcheng in the crowd.

So he immediately grabbed Su Xiaomu's sleeve, raised his hand and called Gu Jingcheng: "Jingcheng, we are here!"

When Su Xiaomu heard that Zhou Lin saw Gu Jingcheng, he waved happily together: "We are here!"

But she is not tall, even if she waved, she barely showed half of her arms.

As for Gu Jingcheng, the nine-day exam made him exhausted.

Although he already had the chance to win the imperial examination, and he had heard people who had passed the examination say that they would have a very difficult time in the imperial examination, but he still didn't think of such a difficult method.

He staggered out step by step, originally he wanted to find a corner to stand and rest first, and then find out where Su Xiaomu would pick him up.

But he didn't expect to hear someone calling him before he walked a few steps.

When he looked up, he saw Zhou Lin's bright smiling face.

Complex buildings.

"Let me tell you that it's finally easy. Just now I was almost squeezed to death at the gate of the Gong Garden. Did you say that everyone came to pick up people together as a family? How can there be so many people that they all have heads at a glance?" ?”

Zhou Lin sat down on the chair in the private room, and started panting heavily.

Su Xiaomu poured him and Gu Jingcheng a cup of tea speechlessly. He wanted to complain about Zhou Lin first, but when he caught sight of the black eyes under Gu Jingcheng's eyes from the corner of his eye, he couldn't help feeling sorry for him.

"Why does your spirit look so bad? Didn't you sleep well in the past few days?"

"It's not very cold in the capital recently. It must be because of your luck that the cold spring hasn't started yet, but you should also cover yourself with the thick quilt I prepared for you at night."

Su Xiaomu asked with concern, how is Gu Jingcheng's health?

Gu Jingcheng was not well at first, he hadn't had enough rest in the past few days, and he was in a trance when he came out just now.

But now that he heard that Su Xiaomu was caring about him, he immediately felt refreshed and all the fatigue was gone.

He shook his head nonchalantly, and the expression on his face became much more relaxed: "I have used up all the things you prepared for me, and I didn't feel cold, but I just came out and I haven't gotten used to the outside, let's eat first, Don't you like the meat here the most?"

Gu Jingcheng personally served Su Xiaomu vegetables, telling her not to worry about herself.

"Okay, then let's eat together."

Su Xiaomu didn't believe what Gu Jingcheng said, but now he could only see a little tiredness on his face.

This week Lin was sitting on the sidelines, watching the young couple caring for each other with every word, not even a single extra look was given to him.

He clicked his tongue: "I know that your old man went to take a test. The two of you were separated for nine days. Those who didn't know thought that your little husband and wife had never met before. This kind of intimacy, should I open the door and go out? Are the private rooms reserved for the two of you?"

"I think you just can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour. If one day your father finds you a wife, I don't believe you will have a bad relationship with her."

Gu Jingcheng yelled at Zhou Lin, who was speechless and snorted again.

After the meal, Zhou Lin didn't see them off because he still had something to do, but he kindly left the carriage. After all, Su Xiaomu was in a hurry today and didn't have time to take the carriage.

After returning home, Gu Jingcheng could relax temporarily without the burden of the imperial examination.

He first went to the study to pack his things, and happened to catch a glimpse of the shop planning book on the table, so he picked it up and looked at it curiously.

Seeing what was written on it, Gu Jingcheng remembered that this shop was the same as when Su Xiaomu first came to the capital, and asked, "Is it going to reopen?"

"Ah."

Su Xiaomu nodded.

She put the things in the study, so she wasn't afraid that Gu Jingcheng would know about it.

"Things are a bit complicated. I have encountered some troubles during your exams, but fortunately, Mrs. Wu Dinghou helped me. Now she has agreed to buy shares in my shop. With such a big backer, I don't have to worry about Liu Lu. Continue to find fault with me."

Su Xiaomu brought out the fruit wine she had made some time ago, and took the first sip of the clay.

The mellow wine slid on the tip of his tongue, causing Su Xiaomu to stretch his brows happily and relax his limbs.

"I want to drink too."

Gu Jingcheng was thinking in his heart that he had made an agreement with Su Xiaomu to get drunk together, so he put down the plan in his hand and drank with her.

"What happened to you?" He frowned, and he didn't feel refreshed after drinking, "Can you tell me?"

"It's nothing inconvenient, it's just that I ran into Liu Lu again, and was unlucky to be imprisoned in Shuntian Mansion by him."

The matter was over, and Su Xiaomu took advantage of it, she didn't have any extra thoughts.

She explained everything to Gu Jingcheng about the past few days, especially that Mrs. Wu Dinghou was a good person and helped her a lot.

But Gu Jingcheng only heard about Su Xiaomu being imprisoned.

When he heard that she was locked up in that kind of place, he grabbed his heart fiercely, and felt pain instantly.

Gu Jingcheng himself was imprisoned in the past, no one knows better than him how frightening and dirty that kind of place is.

It's fine for him to be imprisoned. As a man, even if he suffers a little, it's nothing.

But Su Xiaomu is different, she shouldn't bear this.

The more Gu Jingcheng thought about it, the more he felt wronged by Su Xiaomu, and the more he felt that she had endured hardship, the more he hated himself for his incompetence.

If he could hold the power in his hands earlier and possess the power to be feared, then that person surnamed Liu would not dare to hurt Su Xiaomu like this.

Gu Jingcheng clenched his fists tightly, and the moment he drank the alcohol, his determination to go to high school and gain power became more and more determined in his heart.

"Xiaomu."

"Ok?"

"I promise, I will definitely be your backer in the future, so that none of them dare to bully her. I will also make Liu Lu pay the price for this matter."
