Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 577: A headache
The light from the bronze floor-standing lamp illuminated the place where Zhou Banxia was sitting, and Gu Wenxuan could clearly see the self-deprecating smile on Zhou Banxia's face.

He knew that with his wife's temper, she could say that he had spent a lot of effort to persuade her mother, but her mother didn't listen and even went home to quarrel with her father?

I am extremely disappointed and my patience is running out.

Similarly, if he continued to analyze his mother-in-law, his wife would not say anything, but in her heart she wished he would stay away from her.

Putting this matter aside, Gu Wenxuan quickly changed the subject and asked Zhou Banxia to put away the large and small wooden boxes in the box first and look at them later.

This time I have used up half of the jewelry and agate I have. If I really want to open them one by one and take a closer look at each one, it will take me until midnight.

Zhou Banxia had the same idea, she reached out and touched the box, then she heard Gu Wenxuan asking her if there was anything she needed to secretly put into the box?

It’s nerve-wracking.

There was nothing in the house, and she couldn't think of anything else she needed to bring out from the villa to disguise herself.

After all, things are different now. She and her husband live in the same courtyard, and the maid will inform anyone who enters the upper room. She doesn't worry about being seen even if she eats some fruit.

Besides, they are not children, so they have to eat outside. If the fruit is like this, there is no need to take out the remaining vegetables to make a clear road.

Although there is no ice cellar here, the temperature in the cellar is not high and the occupancy time is not long, so the fresh vegetables and melons that were stockpiled before are still in stock.

In addition, there is a greenhouse made of straw mats next to the greenhouse in the backyard, so leeks, spinach, shepherd's purse and other wild vegetables can grow well, so there are still some green leafy vegetables.

The bean sprouts grown in the kitchen don’t seem to be much worse than those before winter.

If she hadn't already been eating six meals a day and it wasn't suitable to eat more in the late stages of pregnancy, she could have eaten three bowls of rice every morning and noon and had a very good appetite.

In addition to fresh fruits and vegetables, the warehouse is stocked with nutritious foods, dried goods, clothing materials, woolen materials, etc. If something like solar lights are not available, it will be difficult to use them.

is not it?
Gu Wenxuan was dumbfounded.

Zhou Banxia covered her mouth and laughed silently. Just as she was about to leave the west ear room and return to the inner room alone, she was caught by Gu Wenxuan who reacted quickly.

"Why don't you tidy up your bookcase and read a book, or go to the main courtyard to see our father and eldest brother and chat or something? I just went out and asked Mai Dong to untie my bun."

"Can I use a maid at home to untie your hair?" Gu Wenxuan asked unhappily, "It's the same if we go to the main courtyard tomorrow morning. I won't read tonight.

I have read so many books at the county school that I am almost sick of them. I have worked hard enough. I will relax after coming back. It will be in time to pick up the books again when I go back the day after tomorrow.

It's not that I'm arrogant because I'm a man. Today, in addition to poetry and songs, I dare say that classics, law, and practical policy essays are on par with mathematics.

It was not a self-assessment, nor was it an evaluation by County Master Cheng. The teacher picked out some of my recent homework and passed it to Uncle Cheng, and Uncle Cheng gave it to Uncle Master.

My great-uncle-master praised me for my deep understanding of classics and my unique insights into political theory and practical strategies. My great-uncle-master also said that he was afraid that I would become too proud, but based on my overall level, as long as I could maintain my level, I would have a good chance of winning the first prize in the provincial examination next year.

Among the top five candidates in this year's college entrance examination, except me and the fifth place, one is in the county school and the other is in the prefectural school, three are in the A class of scholars in Jingshan Academy.

Think about it, if my great-grandmaster dared to speak so frankly to the gentleman in a letter, doesn't it mean that there is already a considerable gap between me and the second and third place?

At least Senior Brother Zheng, who was highly popular before, is definitely not my opponent. The two people who were unlucky and failed in the last provincial examination are also not my opponents.

I have analyzed it specifically. The candidate for the provincial examination is a scholar from the province. If he fails to get the first place, it will be even more difficult to get the next first place.

What? I want to surpass Boss Zhao and get 'four yuan'. When the children grow up, it will be more prestigious for them to tell others that their father is not an official. "

As he spoke, Gu Wenxuan touched Zhou Banxia's belly and said, "Baby, Daddy didn't want to fight for the title of Jie Yuan at first, but for you, Daddy will fight hard. You have to be good."

Zhou Banxia's mouth twitched. "So, other people are preparing for next year's provincial examination in order to get a place on the list, and you are preparing for your rank?"

"Of course, a small three-pointer. As long as I answer the questions honestly and without mistakes in the provincial examination next August, at the very least I will be on the main list."

Silly dad!

Zhou Banxia suppressed a smile and said, "Do you know how many people participated in the provincial examination last time? Among them, how many people had their household registration transferred from Jiangnan to the provincial examination due to special reasons?
How many local students went to the south of the Yangtze River to study after taking the high school entrance examination, and in order to have some time to settle down, they went back to the province to take the provincial examination after three years?
How many students failed the college entrance examination but still passed the examination, and for this reason, they worshipped the great Confucian scholars and devoted themselves to studying, just to make a splash in the provincial examination?"

Gu Wenxuan raised his head and gave her a look of contempt, "The last provincial examination is nothing. I have already found out who my opponents will be next year.

If you don't know yourself and your enemy, how dare you dream of becoming the top scholar? Do you think that I was idle in Zhending Prefecture after taking the college entrance examination and playing around with Senior Brother Zheng and Zhang Jiaoer?

This month they mentioned in their letters so-and-so's relatives, so-and-so's children, who were in some academy in Jiangnan and would not come back at the end of the year to prepare for next year's provincial examination.

These new friends would have tipped me off. Besides, would I be afraid of these scholars who came to Jiangnan to study under the guidance of a great scholar?
Is it that the teachers are stronger than mine, or that they have more study materials than me? Not to mention that my master's great master was a famous scholar in Jiangnan, my great-uncle master was also the headmaster of Jingshan Academy.

My husband was once the first place winner of the imperial examination in Yangzhou Prefecture. If he had not deliberately concealed his incompetence when he went to Beijing, it would be unknown who would have won the imperial examination in that spring.

Even so, he still easily made it into the top five. What kind of great scholar would understand the court dynamics better than him? What kind of test questions would be asked? What kind of literary style do the examiners prefer?

Speaking of study materials, who has more complete review materials than me? Just count them, the Qian family who made Zhao Lao Da rank fifth in the palace examination, the Gao family who successfully transformed into civil servants, the Kong family who made wine in the Imperial Academy, the famous master and uncle, and the summary of the teacher.

More importantly, I learn quickly. I have read all the information and I know it by heart, if not by heart."

"..."

"That's enough. With so many resources, the right time, right place, and right people, if I still can't compete, I might as well take a break and not bother taking the exam.

I have calculated it all. I am different from Dajiang. The best thing for me is the provincial examination next August. How about I take the title of Jieyuan in one go?"
