Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Unlike Gu Erzhu's "hindsight", Thursday Shun vaguely guessed that Gu Dalang would most likely fail the first game when he had free time yesterday afternoon.

When it comes to passing, Gu Yangwen and his son will never make any move.

Instead of coming to show off, he would send the inn boy to run errands to announce the good news.

Ever since he learned that it would cost nine hundred yuan for the father and son to stay in an inn for one night without food or drink, Zhou Shun settled the bill for them.

It cost almost ten taels of silver to ask the two men to sign bail. The two of them were very dignified, so renting a carriage to get to Fucheng cost at least one to two or five taels of silver.

The two of them arrived on the second day of April, and the exams started on the ninth day of April. Staying in an inn here for eight days would cost seven or eight taels of silver, and not including food and drinks would cost twenty taels of silver.

Therefore, when Gu Yangwen asked Gu Erzhu to borrow twenty taels of silver, Zhou Shun was not surprised at all. He was still thinking that after the first game, he would need to borrow money again.

After all, the two men are not really thrifty people, and they are very arrogant. Not only on the day of the exam, but also on weekdays, they have to take a carriage in and out.

For food, there are not many people who come with them who cook together as a team, but they eat at the inn, and there is at least one meat dish in every meal.

Just spending money indiscriminately, the two of them would have spent more than ten taels of silver in the past two days. It would be enough to spend as long as they wanted, but they had already calculated that they would come to the door if they had no money.

What's more, this time the in-laws are here, there is no better way to borrow money than from his uncle. It would be weird not to take advantage of the first pass to come to the door to announce the good news, so that he can complain about borrowing money later.

No, he ran away without even leaving a word. He ran away as if he was afraid that the two of them would keep their money. Zhou Shundu was secretly lucky that he ran away.

If you don't run away, maybe twenty taels of silver will be wasted.

The two of them are shameless, and the in-laws are even more shameless, so they don't have to be gossiped about.

Facing a group of people from a town, including several people from Zhaojiacun, who were either watching the excitement or looking at them appraisingly, Zhou Shun changed the subject very deliberately.

Inside the examination room.

Gu Wenxuan still doesn't know that Zhou Banxia has resorted to some tricks in private for fear that the casino will maliciously hype up his reputation. He also has no idea that Gu Dalang was brushed off at the first level.

It wouldn't be surprising even if I knew it.

He and his wife have been each other's backers since childhood. He was able to hold shares with his skills and became rich overnight when the company went public. He could not do without his wife's advice.

His wife originally had this ability to protect him, but now she has integrated memories, dabbled in the five arts of boudoir, ritual books, and calculations, so she can still avoid being plotted against him by outsiders.

Furthermore, since Gu Dalang took the county examination several times and failed to make the list many times, it shows that his qualifications are average.

This time I passed the county examination, but my ranking was not high. Fifty people were admitted and I got 42nd place. Judging from the admission ratio of the government examination in previous years, I was originally in trouble.

It's just that the results of the county examination are overdue. Generally speaking, they will take the chance and try to pass the prefectural examination. Maybe they will get lucky and become a child.

Although Tongsheng is only equivalent to obtaining the admission ticket for the scientific examination and is not considered to be famous, most scholars have been taking the exams for a lifetime and are stuck in the Tongsheng level for life.

Being able to become a child student is actually a great success. At least you don't have to work hard in the fields with your face turned to the earth and your back to the sky. It is quite popular to work as a bookkeeper.

The nine-chapter arithmetic questions that cannot be avoided in the county and government examinations are enough to prove that Tongsheng can still settle accounts, and many businesses are willing to hire Tongsheng as accountants.

Firstly, the scholar doesn't have to think about it. Having Tongsheng as accountant is enough to show his dignity; secondly, Tongsheng is basically familiar with the laws and can serve as half of the staff.

The essays that were tested today were not only about imperial edicts, judgments, expressions, and imperial edicts, but they also focused on legal topics for fear that all readers would be legally illiterate.

Interestingly, his wife actually guessed today's ten legal questions.

Its scope covers all fields including scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, but "business" only accounts for an insignificant two of the ten legal questions.

One of the questions was "agricultural" and "business", which was very different from last year's question.

I don't know whether the prefect, whose term of office was about to expire for three years, was timid, or whether the teaching was too understanding of his boss's thoughts, so the entire test question came up with a total of three hundred taels of silver.

Similar to legal questions, Gu Wenxuan has not only read a large number of imperial edicts, judgments, lists, and imperial edicts, but he has recently been able to write them more easily under the guidance of Mr. Zhou Huanzhou.

This exam, which focused on official document writing, turned out to be even easier than the first one.

Putting down the last stroke, checking the inspection from start to finish.

Don't be too perfect. Gu Wenxuan had to suspect that he must have chosen the wrong career in his previous life.

As usual, I waited until a quarter of an hour before the end of the exam to ring the bell and hand in the paper.

When I came out and waited in the waiting area to leave the venue and go out the door, unfortunately, Ojiang was late.

This stupid kid must have been fooled by the last one between the plaintiff and the defendant, otherwise the question-solving expert he personally trained would have been able to join him on time.

Why did one person come out? Where were the five of them?

When they came out of the examination booth, Gu Wenxuan and his father immediately met the "secret code".

It's just that this question is too complicated, so I can only answer it verbally.

"Don't worry, they will come out from behind."

Not lying.

He himself came out only a quarter of an hour early. No matter how late they were, they would wait until the time was up to collect the papers.

At most, it takes a quarter of an hour to pack up and line up. If you don't come out, the government officials in the examination booth will rush the candidates out.

"not?"

Failed the exam?

Gu Wenxuan understood what his father-in-law was saying, "Absolutely impossible!"

He has no confidence in others, but this silly boy Dajiang is very lucky.

If he was fooled by the plaintiff and defendant again this time, based on his understanding of Dajiang, he would definitely insist on choosing the plaintiff to make false accusations to reason and decide the case.

Furthermore, apart from himself, among the six people, Ojiang is actually the one with the best understanding, and Ojiang has the greatest hope of passing the college examination this year.

He didn't say this, but everyone probably knew it.

It’s not that I recently received guidance from Mr. Zhou in Fucheng, but it was during the preparation for the county examination.

With the same hard study, the gap between Li Geer and Dajiang widened.

"Come out, come out."

Following this shout, the five people from Dajiang were not included in the team coming out of the front gate, but their expressions were different from the previous one.

Gu Wenxuan looked back thoughtfully, said goodbye with a smile to the test escorts from the same county who were waiting for the candidates to come out, and left first with Gu Erzhu and others.

"I originally wanted to hand in my paper, but the brother opposite me suddenly shouted loudly. I was afraid that he would go crazy and rush out, so I had to wait for a while, so I came out late."

Return to the rented yard.

Everyone goes back to their respective rooms.

There was no one else around. Dajiang, who had been calm just now, quickly comforted Zhou Shun, who was hesitant to speak, and made Gu Wenxuan happy.

"Third brother-in-law?"

"Last (question)?"

"Hehe~"

"Original."

"Hehe~"

"Aren't you afraid that I might be wrong?"

"will not."
