Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Qinghe Village is only about twenty miles away from Qingyang County.

The carriage quickly approached the city gate, and after entering the city for inspection, it quickly arrived at the small courtyard they rented.

It's funny, it's been a month since I rented one, and this is Gu Wenxuan's first time here.

The two east rooms of the main house were reserved for Zhou Xiucai and Zhou Yuli's grandparents (Li Geer), while the west room was left to his wife and in-laws by the Liu family.

As for the east and west wing rooms on both sides, Mrs. Liu did not need to specify it. Zhou Banxia had already put the boxes and cages she had brought, including the embroidery frame she had set up, into the east wing room.

The west wing was reserved for Zhou Yujiang (Dajiang).

In this way, even if Uncle Ai Mo comes to accompany her for the exam, it doesn't matter if her parents bring Xiaohe to live in the west wing.

The room in the front yard was originally used as a guest room. Needless to say, it was prepared for the other three candidates. The conditions were no worse than the superior rooms in the county inn.

Gu Wenxuan was very satisfied with the arrangements made by Mr. Liu and Zhou Banxia.

Even if those three students come with their family members to take the exam, there is no need to worry about any inconvenience.

After drinking the ginger soup, the three of them went back to their rooms to wash themselves and change their clothes. It was considered that the time for the visit scheduled by Zhou Xiucai and Bai Juren was not far away.

Bai Juren's mansion is not far from here. It belongs to the west of the city. It is only separated by two streets and alleys. It takes less than two quarters of an hour to walk without taking shortcuts.

Accompanied by Gu Erzhu, they each brought their last copy, which was last year's county test questions and their respective answers, and arrived at Bai Juren's residence two-quarters of an hour before the scheduled time.

I don't know whether Li Geer, Bai Juren's great-grandson, was there, or Bai Juren had given instructions to the concierge in advance, and he was ushered in by the concierge as soon as he arrived at Bai Juren's mansion.

Without even reporting it in advance, he was taken directly into the large study room in the front yard by the concierge.

Bai Juren was holding a volume of books and sitting on an armchair reading.

Seeing Gu Erzhu bringing Gu Wenxuan, Zhou Yujiang, and his great-grandson Li Geer, he put down his books and smiled on his face.

"sit down."

He still had a very good impression of Gu Wenxuan and Zhou Yujiang.

Especially Gu Wenxuan, although he insisted on dropping out of school despite his brother-in-law's advice, he was able to study hard for three years after dropping out, which he admired very much.

Furthermore, I met him in the school when I went to Qinghe Village before, and I have recently reviewed and corrected Gu Wenxuan's articles many times.

Therefore, after letting the boy serve tea, Bai Juren didn't say much and took the lead in picking up one of the answers placed on the table - the answer that Gu Wenxuan brought this time.

With almost a stick of incense, Bai Juren stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction, "With your current understanding of the scriptures, the county exam is not difficult for you. You just need to do your best and there is no need to feel pressure."

After hearing this comment, Gu Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I have always been confident, I have never taken a scientific examination seriously.

Although Bai Juren's words were meant to encourage him, they still gave him a lot of confidence.

This time he took the scientific examination, which was the first and most important step he took when he picked up the book.

If it didn't work, wouldn't it become a joke? How could he, Gu Wenxuan, let others look down upon him?

Beside him, Gu Erzhu was secretly happy. He closed his mouth as hard as he could and continued to wait quietly for the next step.

I thought Bai Juren would say something "but" or "just", but unexpectedly he stopped, and then picked up a roll of paper brought by the child Dajiang. How can I say that this gentleman is very particular about how to raise people? Not only can he speak well, but he doesn't hit his children before the exam, and he also left behind a roll of paper brought by his great-grandson.

Next, Gu Erzhu didn't know if it was his imagination, but Bai Juren praised them one by one, but judging from their expressions, it seemed that his Liulang was the most powerful.

When we came out of Baifu, it was already getting late.

If I hadn't refused to stay for dinner, I would have come back in the dark before the curfew.

Therefore, when I came back, the food at home was just in time to be ready, and I was waiting for the four of them to arrive home and have dinner on the table.

After the meal, the three of them studied as usual, except that they changed their study location and moved to the big study room in the front yard together.

A few months ago, Gu Erzhu had someone order three large book desks without any carvings. Together with the existing large book desk, it was spacious enough for all seven people to sit down.

Today, Zhou Banxia placed the books they had specified to bring and added the Four Treasures of the Study Room, allowing the three of them to come in and start studying.

Gu Wenxuan did not dare to say that he had memorized the contents of the Four Books by heart, but he was already familiar with them, so he took out all the articles and notes he had written in the past to review them.

Dajiang followed the reading plan and had memorized the relevant information on the annotations given by Mrs. Qian. He continued to study the set of annotations given by Mrs. Gao.

Li Geer's progress is slower. He has been using information collected at home, but he has almost finished reading two sets of annotations.

As for those period anthologies, not everyone was as perverted as Gu Wenxuan.

In a short period of time, I memorized hundreds of contemporary anthologies. When I first started writing articles, I also borrowed many witty quotes and allusions.

At the beginning of the next day, Zhou Xiucai arrived.

Not only Zhou Shun came with him, but also three students who also took the county examination this time.

Interestingly, none of these three were accompanied by parents or brothers.

Even one of the family members from a neighboring village said they were still worried when they learned that he was living with Gu Wenxuan and the other three.

This is indeed the case. I rented the yard early, came here a few days in advance, and was accompanied by Zhou Xiucai. If I was worried and wanted to come over and take a look, it would be a day or two.

No, Zhou Xiucai sent the answers of the remaining three students to his brother-in-law Bai Juren, and when he came back, he closed the door and thanked guests.

Before the day was over, I started staring at six students studying in the big study room in the front yard in the afternoon.

Except for the seven teachers and students who stayed inside, don't bother them with any big things.

In the evening, the six students were allowed to leave the study room, but that didn't mean that the six of them could rest. They just went back to their rooms to continue studying according to their own plans.

On the second day, he made a new move. He got up early in the morning and asked Chang Sui to lead his servants to move all the desks in the study room in the front yard to the yard and put them on display.

In the front yard, next to the toilet, the cold wind was blowing, and from time to time, there was a sudden sound of either knocking dishes or ringing a bell.

In fact, it is not surprising. Since the eighth day of the first lunar month of this year, Zhou Xiucai has been practicing various adaptability of students in school during the day.

What's more, there is one of them, which means that disturbing methods such as letting elementary school children read or play around at noon cannot be implemented here.

But it was not irreplaceable, so Zhou Xiucai left the women alone and let Gu Erzhu or Zhou Shun and others move back and forth among the six people making fuss.

Similar interference methods are not only used on students taking the county exams, but also on students who are preparing to take the college exams this year. No matter how big or small, no one who takes the exam this year can escape.
