Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

While stepping on the heavy snow, there were "squeaking" sounds under my feet from time to time, and white air came out when I opened my mouth when I spoke.

Gu Wenxuan regretted not persuading Zhou Banxia to go home early. It was still snowing that day. If he went back at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the road would be even worse.

Except for a few children in twos and threes, whose cheeks were red from the cold and had two big tubes of snot hanging from their noses, who were not afraid of the cold and had a snowball fight outdoors, no one really went out to suffer from the cold.

Not to mention.

Soon we arrived at the village school.

Unsurprisingly, Gu Wenxuan found that even in the elementary school class there were not many students idle, and most of them had already polished their ink and started working hard.

In fact, polishing the ink before class can effectively save time.

He did the same thing, so he started sharpening his ink after coming in.

Sharpen the ink.

Dip in ink.

Pick up the pen and put down the ink.

Calligraphy is not like endorsement.

Gu Wenxuan knew very well that he had no talent in calligraphy, so he simply chose Guange style, which was used in scientific examinations, and practiced calligraphy while organizing his notes.

Unfortunately, as I was writing something interesting, the bell rang and class officially started.

As expected, the two classes in the afternoon were mainly about teaching craftsmanship. Compared with the classes in the morning, there were too many things he didn't understand, which kept Gu Wenxuan busy.

As Zhou Xiucai said, just ask if you don't understand. There are sixteen people in the class, and his question alone can take up all the afternoon class time.

In desperation, he had no choice but to concentrate on listening to the lecture, taking quick notes, and then used the fifteen-minute break to recall anything he had missed.

As a result, the words were written like ghost drawings. Even he himself was ashamed to look at them twice. But the writing was slow and he was really worried that he would not catch up with the progress.

After all, time is tight and the tasks are heavy, and the county examination in February and March of next year is imminent.

As long as you can't read to death, you can only read to death. What's there to be afraid of?

He has no fame and even his wife is away from home, so her status is a bit inferior.

Even if he wants someone to call his wife a scholarly lady as soon as possible, he has to fight hard.

If you win the competition, you will gain the reputation of being a scholar, and your status will be very different.

As for the promotion of people to Jinshi, don't think about it now. Being able to pass the county examination, government examination, and hospital examination is God's blessing.

Fortunately, in the second half of the second class, Master taught the nine chapters of arithmetic. Finally, he is good at not only Chinese but also mathematics.

Unlike historical arithmetic, which accounted for a very small proportion of Jinshi subjects, in this dynasty, from the county examination to the Spring Festival, there were arithmetic questions in every exam, which is really worthy of celebration.

Gu Wenxuan finally regained his former top student's confidence. He didn't mind being surrounded by classmates after class and went home to brag. He explained to everyone in a good mood.

Well, why is there suddenly no sound?

As they were talking, no one asked any questions, and everything became quiet.

Gu Wenxuan couldn't help but raise his head curiously - oh, master, why is Zhou Xiucai back again?

In a trance, it seemed like I was back during the college entrance examination review period when I was stared at by the old Gao. It was also the same creepy look that made him want to be tied to the chair and unable to walk.

Alas, he is still too good.

The wind is still cold and the weather is gloomy.

After sending Zhou Xiucai into Zhou's house, Gu Wenxuan turned around and slapped his forehead with a smile.

Seeing that it was getting dark and there was not much time to waste before Youzheng, he hurried home quickly.

"That means that in addition to the daytime, you also have to go to his study to teach alone at night?" Gu Erlang deliberately arrived home early and waited at the door when he heard the good news.

"He just told me not to make any mistakes tonight. I wonder if the same will happen tomorrow night." Gu Wenxuan reached out and waved the snowflakes off Gu Erlang's shoulders.

His eldest brother has been waiting at the gate for I don’t know how long! “But I will try my best to catch up as soon as possible and not fall behind.”

"It turns out that I was right, you are the one who should study the most.

To give my brother a chance, I will have a good talk with him, Gu Dalang, on the day you are selected as a scholar. "

"Okay." Gu Wenxuan lowered one shoulder nervously, "Brother, do you want to give me a pat and encourage me? Reading is really killing me. It's so tiring."

Gu Erlang slapped him on the shoulder and put his arm around his neck with a smile, "Do you think Zhou Xiucai's life was comfortable?

When you become Gu Xiucai, you will be the only living scholar in our old Gu family, aren't you happy?

Be obedient and get through it. No matter how tired you are, you will still be more tired than working in the fields.

Okay, let's go in first. Our parents have been waiting at home for a long time. If I hadn't stopped you, I would have gone to the school to pick you up. "

Gu Wenxuan laughed, "How old am I?"

"Didn't you say that you are an old son and you are still young?"

Gu Erlang glanced at him teasingly, "I went to my grandpa's place during lunch break. Did he say anything?"

"you guess."

"I thought about it and didn't say anything. Otherwise, if my father asked my siblings, they wouldn't say that my grandpa is very happy and glad that there is another scholar in the family."

Gu Wenxuan shook his head and smiled, "It's hard to talk much at Yue's house during the afternoon.

My grandma was okay, she told me not to think about anything and just concentrate on studying, saying that reading more would not go wrong. "

Hearing this, Gu Erlang slowed down and asked, "Where is our master?"

"He didn't say anything. As my grandma was talking, he looked up at me and closed his eyes to rest. I didn't stay long and left after I finished speaking."

The smile on Gu Erlang's face became brighter and brighter, "That's fine.

What does it mean to separate the family? I originally informed him out of filial piety, but I didn't wait for him to make the decision.

Now even our father doesn't want to talk to him anymore. He wants you and his eldest grandson to get along well, which is even more scary.

But don’t say this to your father in front of your mother. Your younger siblings are very good at talking, so learn more. Dad is out, dad, mom, my brother is back. "

"I think so too." Gu Wenxuan said jokingly, "Brother, you are not kind, you took my words away. Dad, Mom, I'm back."

"How's it going?"

"Very good." Suddenly surrounded by his parents, Gu Wenxuan was no longer in a hurry to go back to his room to put away his schoolbag, "Zhou Xiucai also asked me to ask Mo Youzheng to attend a lecture at his house tonight."

"Several people?"

"Just me."

"Where's Ojiang?"

"He is different from me. He has been studying under Zhou Xiucai's nose. Unlike me, Zhou Xiucai probably wanted to see what I didn't understand so that he could make up for me."

Gu Erzhu stopped Mr. Liu and said, "Let the children go back to their rooms and put away their things first, and we will talk while eating. Your wife and your sister-in-law are both in the kitchen, so let them listen too."

No wonder his wife was nowhere to be seen, he just said, he got home at least half an hour late and it was already dark, how could he not be worried about his delay in returning home.

An oil lamp was lit in the small hall of the west wing.

A big change.

It turned out that the small hall was very simple.

At this time, there was a familiar landscape painting hanging on the wall opposite. There was an additional desk below, and there were two Taishi chairs on each side.

On the surface of the table there is a red tray with a teapot, tea cups and a storage tray. Did his wife show off her dowry?

Looking at the extra bookshelf on the side against the wall, Gu Wenxuan quickly picked up the oil lamp and entered the study room - sure enough, there was an extra set of bookcases, and there were even two more Kang tables on the heated Kang.

His parents have money to spend?
