Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 278 Preparing for the Academy Examination
Who said it was this morning? It was already noon by the time Chen passed.

Zhou Banxia replied without blinking, no.

"I've already found the receipt."

"Impossible, I'll let you go—"

Gu Wenxuan couldn't help laughing.

"You haven't finished speaking yet, so don't laugh or anything."

Zhou Banxia feigned anger and punched him, "Let me go quickly, Xiaohe is coming."

"will not."

The little thing is very clever.

I would never take the initiative to run into his couple's house just after I came back from outside.

At this time, he was either memorizing books and practicing Chinese calligraphy, or chatting with Dajiang about what he saw and heard in the Lin Mansion.

Very smart kid.

Knowing that his third sister loves his two brothers, she would not keep them all by herself after receiving the greeting gifts at home. It would be safer to leave them all to his third sister than to his parents.

But his studies are going to be delayed, and his third sister will not tolerate him. She will never leave the amount of homework that he should complete every day until the next day, for fear that his third sister will annoy him and punish him.

"How much does it cost now?"

"Yours is still three for one."

Gu Wenxuan heard it. Ganqing had just arrived the day before yesterday and took Xiaohe shopping yesterday to collect information.

He nodded in understanding, "The academy examination is different from the government examination. Scholars are entering the 'scholar' class. There is little possibility of collusion in secret operations, and there is no need to protect the market."

"The possibility is high, and there is no way to protect the market. This time, including you, the eight heads of the four houses in the two terms all have extraordinary backgrounds and have considerable backgrounds."

With that said, Zhou Banxia picked up his fingers and gave Gu Wenxuan information about the other six heads of government cases. As for the remaining two heads of cases, it was okay not to mention them.

This year's chief executive of Baocheng Mansion is Gu Wenxuan, and last year's chief executive was a student from Jingshan Academy. They came together this time and stayed in his own annex.

This senior brother is not only rich, he is also a son of a government official. The six lowest family backgrounds are also from scholarly families, and each of them is quite talented in the local area.

Gu Wenxuan was speechless for a moment after hearing this. It is true that Pin Daddy is indispensable everywhere!

"Does this mean that I am the poorest and the one with the lowest status?"

"The lowest status doesn't count. A person's name or a tree's shadow. After all, you are my uncle's only student. Otherwise, the odds wouldn't be as low as three to one so early."

As he said that, Zhou Banxia slapped him in the face, "Among the eight people, there are five people who have two convictions like you, and only three of the six of you are paying three for one.

This odds means that the casino is optimistic that one of the three of you can win three yuan or less. Otherwise, like the other five people, you would have either lost six to one or five to one. "

Gu Wenxuan was silent.

"Isn't it stressful?"

"No. Before I came here, I heard my husband and Senior Uncle Lin mention that the competition in the college examinations every year is very fierce. I knew that whether Senior Brother Zheng and I could get the top spot depends on God's will.

But hearing what you say, it seems like I have an advantage again.

After all, I am the only one from the farm, and if I am not allowed to win a small three yuan, the court will lose the support of the people. "

Bullshit!

Zhou Banxia couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Didn't I say that three yuan for small and medium-sized schools is not good, just making a junior student is enough, why do you still have to fight for it?"

"Tell me who you're taking prisoner first?"

"you answer me first."

Gu Wenxuan pondered for a moment, "The truth is, after looking at the other seven government examination answer sheets, as long as the examiner is not deliberately making things difficult, I am 70% sure.

The lie is that the foundation is too weak. It was a fluke before and I didn't dare to hope. Therefore, I closed the door to thank the guests and concentrated on studying my books, hoping to get a first-class ranking and live up to my ten years in the cold window. "

70% sure?

Not bad.

"I'll keep you alone."

"How much was deposited?"

"One hundred taels of silver."

Gu Wenxuan immediately took a breath and covered Zhou Banxia's heart with one hand, "I'm stressed. You man, I'm so stressed. Listen, my heart is beating so fast. Uh, I touched the wrong thing."

Zhou Banxia fell down laughing.

A stupid wife, "I haven't told you the truth yet, I'm scratching my itch."

"Don't!" Zhou Banxia was so frightened that his laughter stopped abruptly, and she held his hand tightly, "I asked Dahua and Jiaxing to take three people to hold the ten banknotes with a denomination of one hundred taels."

“That’s pretty much it, the two of them are pretty capable of doing things.

Don't bring your aunt (Xiao Bai's) to bet this time. No one's chances of winning will be low. "

"Understood, it's enough to play once and make a profit. It won't be nice if you don't care whether you win or lose.

No, I have already told them not to talk too much. "

Gu Wenxuan believed this.

Although his wife sometimes does some tricks without telling him, she is more expert than him in dealing with people and the world, and her personality has not collapsed so far.

"Okay, I'm going to review, try to make you triple your income, and buy you flowers.

You bastard thing, why is it that you only pay three for one, and you still open a gambling shop in the province? "

"It's not called a gambling house."

"Changlefang?"

"That's right, big brother, you even know this." Zhou Banxia went down to the ground, pulled up his robe, and pushed him to the study room, "Just this time, I won't hide it from you."

"It's too late to confess and I caught you if you concealed it, right?
Let's just have fun, don't take it too seriously. When I go to see Mr. Wang tomorrow, I really won't care about you anymore. "

After visiting shopkeeper Wang and his father the next day, Gu Wenxuan was just as he said, and for a while he really didn't care what last week Banxia had done without telling him.

Except for visiting the Lin Mansion with Dajiang every three days with articles written by him, no matter what invitations were sent, he would not leave the inner courtyard for half a step, and he would stay in the study room day and night.

When the weather got hotter day by day, I peeled off my robe, put on my trousers, made a large vat of tea, and studied seriously in the study room.

Like him, Dajiang also studied hard during the day and night.

Taking advantage of the time before the academy examination started, I wrote down all the essays and essays presented by each school from beginning to end, lest I miss anything.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Banxia deliberately reduced the number of outings as much as possible, left all purchasing and purchasing matters to Gu Dahua, and deliberately set the pace of his life very slowly.

Every day, he either quietly arranges nutritious meals that suit their taste, or stays in front of their eyes and openly avoids the heat, so that they can rest assured to review and prepare for exams.

The midsummer season has arrived, and time quickly came to the day of the college examination.

Before Yin Shizhong, we took a carriage to the parking place divided by Zhending Gongyuan. Before we even reached the gate of Gongyuan, there was already an endless stream of people around.

Mo Daojun left early, and there were people earlier.

It is said that there are tens of thousands of candidates coming to Zhending Mansion to take the college examination this year, and some of the candidates are accompanied by servants or family members.

It's not an exaggeration to say that it was a huge crowd. There were so many people that even if you didn't speak loudly, you wouldn't be heard.

If I hadn't been here yesterday, I would have known where the waiting area for candidates in Baocheng Prefecture was. If I wanted to inquire, I would have to ask at a loud voice.

Fortunately, there were government soldiers with long swords on their waists to maintain order. There was a passage from where the carriage stopped to the waiting area for candidates from each prefecture in front of the Gongyuan that could accommodate two people.
