Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 451 Vacation

After each autumn rain, the weather becomes colder. After a few autumn rains, autumn clothes have to be replaced with winter ones. Gu Wenxuan, who has been at the top of the monthly list for two consecutive months, has finally achieved his goal.

What does it matter if he gets a leave of absence? From now on, as long as he stays in the top three in the monthly exams, he can study at home and everything will please him.

Once again, he received a certain amount of rice, meat and silver per month from the government office as a scholar, and took the five taels of silver as a reward for the county school's monthly exam, and returned home.

In order to encourage students to "study hard and make progress every day", the county school, like private colleges, also has a reward system, such as monthly exam rewards, ten-day exam rewards, and annual exam rewards.

These are equivalent to scholarships in later generations, among which the annual examination rewards are the most generous. In Dajiang's words, his third brother-in-law can become rich by studying.

But he was far behind. In the county school's monthly exam, only the top three would receive rewards, while the top five would receive rewards in the ten-day exam. There were more rewards in the annual exam, including the top ten.

To his regret, he failed to rank among the top three in the two monthly exams. He ranked among the top six in August's exam, and the September's exam was even more frustrating, ranking among the top four!
Zhou Banxia put on the twisted silver bracelet that Dajiang bought with the silver that the scholars had to save every month, and listened to Dajiang's vow to get the reward for the October exam. She was very happy, but she still couldn't bear to work too hard and hurt her health. After all, getting into the top four was already beyond her expectations.

Not everyone is a genius with an extraordinary memory like Gu Wenxuan. He should concentrate on studying hard and not slack off at all.

Zhou Banxia was not at all surprised that Gu Wenxuan could continue to top the county school list.

The reason why the academic genius is the academic genius is probably because his memory, understanding and comprehension abilities are superior to those of ordinary people, not to mention that he has more learning resources than ordinary students.

Dajiang is not unskilled. The fact that he ranked 20th in the college entrance examination when he was a minor proves that his academic aptitude is beyond the reach of ordinary students.

It's just that he met a genius like Gu Wenxuan who was gifted with natural talents. He was the reason for his success and failure, and his light was overshadowed by him. But it is undeniable that Dajiang is also a talented academic master.

Zhou Banxia took great pains to coax her diligent, studious and enterprising elder brother, to show that in the eyes of her, the third sister, her elder brother was already a genius.

After Dajiang blushed shyly and said that he would continue to study hard and live up to his third sister's expectations, he said goodbye and went home. Zhou Banxia also had the opportunity to be alone with Gu Wenxuan as he had expected.

While Zhou Banxia and Dajiang were having a heart-to-heart talk, Gu Wenxuan also showed off to his mother. He had to make his mother proud of him, right?

He was not bragging. No matter how many things he gave to his mother as a filial piety, in her eyes, they were not as good as a hairpin bought by her, the eldest son, with his monthly exam reward.

Even though this silver hairpin was very light and had no gemstones, his mother was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling and put it on carefully on the spot.

"Did mom go to see Auntie Ma?" Seeing Gu Wenxuan return to his room, Zhou Banxia covered her mouth and laughed, "Auntie Ma must be very depressed. Dajiang also prepared a hairpin for my mom."

Given his mother-in-law's personality, she would definitely go find Aunt Ma tomorrow to have a good chat about how Dajiang saved the monthly quota of rice, meat and silver for the students in the government stipend and what gifts he prepared for each of his family members.

Gu Wenxuan smiled knowingly, "Dajiang is making rapid progress, and Wenyu really can't catch up with him now. In this month's exam, Dajiang ranked fourth, and Wenyu ranked fifteenth.

Logically speaking, getting 15th place is not bad. After all, many of the questions were very tricky this time, and Cheng Qian and the other three only got the top five. "

Top five and still "just" that? Zhou Banxia laughed dumbly, "So, Gu Wenyu is going to Jingshan Academy to study these two days?" Gu Wenxuan's eyes flashed, "Almost. A few days ago when he came back and the results of this monthly exam were not announced yet, he asked me to write a letter to my uncle.

I have also written that, unless there are special circumstances, he will go to Jingshan Academy with Li Ge'er in five days, and Senior Brother Zheng will help me entertain them then.

Before that, a letter from Senior Brother Zheng just arrived. He knew that I would not take Dajiang to Jingshan Academy, but he mentioned when we would go to the teacher. "

Zhou Banxia's heart moved, "He wants to go to Zhoujia Village to meet up with you, listen to how your uncle teaches you, and exchange knowledge with you?"

Gu Wenxuan did not deny that the other party had this intention. After all, Xiao Zheng's knowledge was actually very good, but who would dislike too many connections?

Even though her husband had retired and was hiding in Zhoujia Village, even the "little darling" of the Zhang family mentioned in a letter to him that her husband might be reinstated.

Let’s not talk about whether he will be reinstated or not, but the emperor’s favor is probably something that cannot be hidden from all the ministers in the court. Last month, the granary in Zhending Prefecture was thoroughly investigated and a number of people were forced to step down.

Although on the surface it was not his master who was in charge, and it could even be said that it was not Uncle Qi who was acting on orders, but who would be stupid enough to get into the officialdom? This is Zhending Prefecture.

The important place in Gyeonggi Province!

If he was not the current confidant, how could the head of the grain department be brought down so peacefully without the inspector spending a year or two to check the accounts?

His husband is now a piece of fat meat, and not everyone can touch or see him. If he can't bite off the fat meat, it's okay to get some oil on it. Xiao Zheng still wants to cling to his thigh.

Unlike Gu Wenxuan, who still had a lot of correspondence with the candidates he had met before, and Gu Wenxuan didn't want to disturb Zhou Banxia, ​​who was recuperating at home, with outside matters.

Therefore, Zhou Banxia really didn't know that her uncle had now become the current emperor's number one lackey, a tacit understanding among officials in the province, but a mystery that could not be explained.

This also meant that her uncle could not continue to stay in Zhoujia Village for a long time, both for official and private reasons. He would either be reinstated and return to the capital, or be secretly transferred to some place by the current emperor.

According to Gu Wenxuan's speculation, it is very likely that his husband will "willfully" return to Yangzhou Prefecture, using the excuse that the weather in the north is too cold and not suitable for recuperation.

Even if he did not return to Yangzhou Prefecture, he was secretly ordered to return to some "old place" in Jiangnan to recuperate. It's a pity that these speculations are not suitable to be told to his wife at the moment.

The timing of the child's arrival was so coincidental that Mr. Lian only hinted in his private reply to him that the child was the most important thing.

In other words, before his beloved niece gave birth to the child, he should stop talking nonsense to his beloved niece about everything.

The gentleman knew that his beloved niece was extremely intelligent, otherwise he would not have intentionally let Gu Dali lead a team to retrieve the dowry stored in his beloved niece's mansion in the capital.

His wife was deceived and thought that her uncle had made up his mind that even if her aunt went to the capital to take care of the pregnant eldest daughter-in-law, her uncle would not be able to return to the capital in the short term of two or three years.

If you don't go back to Beijing, he is afraid that his uncle is not in the capital. Not to mention the Kong Mansion, even the Gao Mansion cannot be the biggest supporter of his precious niece, so you can stay in Qingyang County with peace of mind.
