Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

It's no wonder that Gu Wenyu asked this question. The uncle and aunt were previously in the upper room and the east wing respectively. Not long after, they just arrived together.

He somewhat regretted that he should not have transferred to Jingshan Academy to study halfway through. Now he could no longer fit in with his uncle and her husband.

Originally, as a cousin of Liu Lang who was of similar age, he had this opportunity, even though Liu Lang was often not in the county school, there was still Da Jiang in the county school.

Dajiang was not like Uncle Changping who had no hope of passing the provincial examination and was content to follow in his father's footsteps and become a teacher in the village school. Dajiang was determined to pass the examination.

There will be a provincial examination in August next year. Even if Dajiang is not prepared to take the test and wants to calm down, he will definitely take the next provincial examination.

What's more, Dajiang is very strong himself, as he has never been squeezed to seventh place in the county school monthly exam. It is also a kind of progress to communicate and discuss with him more.

Gu Wenxuan didn't know what Gu Wenyu was thinking at the moment, otherwise he would have told Gu Wenyu that he was overthinking.

Want more communication and discussion?

Dajiang is so busy that he is dying.

On weekdays, there are not only homework assigned by the teachers in the county school, but also those from the teacher, those compiled by him, and occasionally test questions brought by Uncle Cheng.

Only this child has the ability to withstand pressure and the tenacity to study hard, so he immersed himself in his studies.

My schedule is packed with time. I am either reading, doing exercises, or seeking help from a teacher. Even the daily breaks and meal times are used up. How can I have any free time?

After meal.

The few of them agreed to meet in the study in the front yard a quarter of an hour later and then go out to the county school together.

After Gu Wenyu and Zhou Changping, father and son, left and returned to the cross-courtyard, Dajiang also returned to the east wing to get the exam basket, and Gu Wenxuan did not waste any time.

Although there will be guests arriving this afternoon, the instructions had already been given last night, and Gu Dahua's ability to handle affairs is still acceptable.

What's more, with Jiaxing's help, there's no need to worry about the manor. Both sides will make arrangements to receive the guests. But what about Dajiang?

After a moment of hesitation, Gu Wenxuan decided not to point it out.

Even if Dajiang could catch up after leaving the examination hall this evening and had the chance to meet the girl in advance, it would still be too hasty.

Taking advantage of the fact that Dajiang was not at home, Gu Wenxuan reminded Zhiming to remember to pay attention to whether there were any other young masters accompanying them today besides Doctor Lin and his wife.

This matter is really hard to predict. Before yesterday, only the female doctor Dr. Lin, midwife Chen and the daughter of the Qi family had arrived. But the news received yesterday afternoon was different.

Not only these three arrived, but Doctor Lin's husband and daughter were also in the entourage. God knows if there were any other young masters from the Qi family who managed to meet up at the post station last night.

After all, my eldest and second brothers-in-law will return to Zhoujia Village to worship their ancestors after the holidays after they finish their exams at the Imperial College and the Academy, but it is hard to say about my third brother-in-law.

This person was being casual, and just because he was alone in Zhoujia Village, he might have run back with some young man of similar age from the Qi Mansion.

He couldn't help but pay attention. Even his wife knew that her third brother, who was the same age but different birth month as her, had come, but he still hid it. How could this be allowed? Was it even a white lie?

Whether they came together or not, the answer was soon known. On the way to the front yard with Dajiang, Gu Wenxuan saw Gu Dahua coming to him in a hurry.

"Master, Dali has already sent Yu to come back with a report that the third young master of the Zhou Mansion and the third young master of the Qi Mansion arrived at the post station before dark yesterday.

After the two sides meet up, according to Dali's estimation of the distance, they will arrive before the city gate closes today, and Yu is still in the front yard at this moment."

Sure enough! Just as he expected!
"The Third Young Master has also told Dali not to let you know that he is coming. He does not plan to stay in the city and wants to meet the master and his wife as soon as possible."

Da Jiang couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Third brother, how anxious is he to see third sister? It would be better if he could go back to the village directly. If he wants to stay in the city, he can only go back to the village tomorrow at least."

"Let him do whatever he wants." Gu Wenxuan said. Even if he responded to Dajiang, he was reminding Gu Dahua, "Wait until we meet them and follow their arrangements."

Gu Dahua hurriedly responded yes, and as they were almost at the outer courtyard, he quickly reported that the old cow that had unfortunately died in Dahuai Village had been dealt with.

Moreover, he had been sent to Yuyuan (manor) before dawn this morning, and happened to meet the eldest young master, who also brought a message saying that the second young mistress was aware of the arrival of guests.

"...The master also told you to relax and just focus on the exam last year. He and his wife are at home. Apart from these two matters, the other matters have been arranged according to your instructions."

Gu Wenxuan nodded to show that he understood, and after saying that Gu Youyu should go back to the manor to see the master after he had rested, he and Zhou Yujiang went to the study in the outer courtyard first.

As long as his father sees Gu Youyu, he naturally doesn't need to convey anything. His parents will know who is coming and what arrangements and adjustments need to be made.

These are all trivial matters, not to mention whether his wife will be restless, and Changqing and his wife are helping out. But Dajiang still doesn't know the deeper meaning of it.

Take a look.

Isn't it the same again? Why didn't everyone come to this point earlier or later?

"Hurry up, both of you."

"No hurry." Dajiang put away his messy thoughts and teased Gu Wenyu, "Who was the one who kept mentioning the distance of less than a hundred steps last night?"

"I suddenly remembered that it's never too late to hurry up." Gu Wenyu also said with a smile, "Why, you changed your mind after one night, so what's wrong?"

Seeing that the two of them were still talking nonsense but did not stop, Zhou Changping turned around and patted his son Li Ge'er on the shoulder, asking him to stay.

Even if he didn't want to go home first, it was okay for him to stay here and study. Except for the candidates taking the annual examination, his son Li Ge'er would definitely not be able to enter the county school today.

It would be better to wait here for him to finish the first exam of the day in the evening and come back, especially if he is outside in the cold. If he doesn't want to read, he can take his servant for a walk on the street.

"It's okay, it's very close."

This child, it's not about whether he is close or not, "You don't want to go to the street to buy some gifts for your grandparents and mother, and waste their days and nights worrying about you."

Li Ge’er: “…”

This father was still very fond of him yesterday. He said he wanted to go home first and wanted him to stay with him for a night to chat before going home. But now he doesn't want him to follow him.

The Gu family's residence was indeed not far from the county school. It would only take a cup of tea to walk there, so there was no need to take a carriage. They could just leave Zhou Yuli there and set off.

Because the current academician has also sent his subordinate clerks to various prefectures and county schools to supervise the examinations, the start time of the examinations is not like that of imperial examinations, and one has to wait outside the examination room before dawn.

The gate of the county school was still the same as before, with no one lingering or making any noise. Even if someone came by carriage, they would get off at a distance diagonally opposite.

On the way to the county school, the group met three or five classmates who also disliked riding in a carriage.

Gu Wenxuan, who has dominated the county school rankings for several months, is the popular one. Soon, he is surrounded by his classmates. (End of this chapter)
