Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

The study room not only contained the books and materials that Gu Wenxuan had been reviewing recently, but also some of the study materials that Zhou Yujiang had sorted out to take back with him before going to bed last night.

The reason why I have to take a part of it back first is probably because after the annual exam is over today, the next two days will be the time for marking the papers, and it will be two days later before I go to the county school.

That is to say, you just need to wait for the results at home for the next two days, and go to the county school the day before the Little New Year, and then you will have a holiday before noon the next day, the Little New Year.

In addition to these study materials, I will also take some of my personal clothes with me, and the rest will be brought back on my last trip here before the holiday.

While Zhiming was packing the things he had sorted into boxes one by one, Gu Wenxuan was not idle either. He went back to his room to take a shower and changed into clean clothes.

After a whole day in the examination room, although the conditions were not as good as the small cell he had stayed in during previous scientific examinations, they were not much better, and he still felt that he had a strange smell on his body.

It’s a pity that hair is difficult to wash. Not only is it very slow to wring out, but it also requires a lot of effort to wash.

I had breakfast at home today, and for the rest, the county school canteen delivered two finely chopped steamed buns and a bowl of soup to each person at noon before leaving for the examination hall.

Drink porridge and eat side dishes.

Gu Wenxuan glanced at the sky outside again, wondering why Dajiang had not returned yet. After a few breaths, he vaguely heard some noise coming from outside.

Listening to it, it seems that there are more than just Dajiang, or there are footsteps of two people including Zhimo, the servant beside Dajiang, and the voice of Zhao Jiasanlang?

Strange things.

If they came to him after the annual exam to tell him that Gu Dalang had delivered a letter to his door yesterday, shouldn't it be Zhao Dalang, the eldest son of Uncle Zhao, who should tell him?

Uncle Zhao Er happened to be back in the village these two days and was not at home, but his eldest son Gu Dalang has been in the city. How could it be possible that the eldest son did not show up, but the second son came instead?
Putting down his chopsticks, Gu Wenxuan picked up the still hot towel and wiped his mouth. Then he stood up and put the towel on the table while wiping his hands.

A moment.

The answer is here.

It was Zhou Yujiang, Zhao Sanlang, and Zhao Dalang also came.

As for Zhao Erlang, he is Lord Zhao's legitimate son and also Lord Zhao's eldest son. Naturally, he has always been in the capital. This time, the only young master of the Zhao family who lived in the house diagonally opposite was Zhao Silang who did not come with him.

The second branch of the Zhao family has three sons and three daughters. It is not as many as the illegitimate sons and daughters of Lord Zhao and the Third Master Zhao, but his branch is also considered to be prosperous.

More importantly, except for the slightly cunning second son Zhao Sanlang, Zhao Dalang and Zhao Silang look very much like their father Zhao Erbo, who is honest and contented.

Although he has only met two of the four branches of the Zhao family so far, he has to say that, relatively speaking, the three sons of the second branch left the best impression.

Gu Wenxuan warmly invited the Zhao Dalang brothers to come in and sit down.

as predicted.

The two brothers really came because of Gu Dalang's submission of the invitation yesterday, and secondly, they came to ask how he and Dajiang did in the exam this time.

I have a heart.

After listening to Zhao Dalang for a long time, he finally said that he heard that the third young master of the Zhou family had arrived, and his three brothers wanted to visit him, which almost made Gu Wenxuan laugh.

You're polite. You even used the word "visit".

"What's the big deal? What's an old friend? Just look at the friendship between our two families. Let alone Dajiang's third brother coming, even if my husband came, can you not meet your elders?
There's no need to say more. I won't be so picky as to send someone to invite you to come to my humble home on a certain day and at a certain time. How about you come to my house tomorrow?

The main thing is that the New Year is coming soon, and they can't stay for long. If they have something to do tomorrow, let's schedule it for the day after tomorrow. As for the second uncle, my father and my father-in-law are here. The three of them are very close, so let's leave it to my father and my father-in-law to send someone to invite the second uncle. It just so happens that our families haven't gathered for a while."

Zhao Dalang nodded in agreement hurriedly and gave an exact time - tomorrow would be fine.

After saying that, he immediately stood up, reached out to pull Zhao Sanlang up, and was about to go back.

Zhao Sanlang: ...

After seeing off this interesting pair of brothers, Dajiang just happened to take a bath and change his clothes. "They left. They left so soon?"

"Zhao Sanlang should have something else to say, but his elder brother not only dragged him along, but also said that he knew we were in a hurry to return to the village."

Dajiang laughed and shook his head, "That's something Big Brother Zhao would do. He's very much like Second Uncle Zhao. Are the two uncles not back yet? Go check over there in the yard."

The next words he said were spoken when he suddenly turned around and instructed Zhimo, the servant beside him, to go and see whether Zhou Changping and Gu Wenyu had returned directly to the cross-courtyard area first.

After all, if they heard the doorman announce that there were guests, they would most likely ask the doorman not to send anyone to inform them who had returned.

Another thing is that everyone had agreed to return to the village after the exam today, so the two of them had to pack up their luggage, eat here, and then get on the carriage back to the village.

Dajiang guessed half right.

After he picked up Gu Wenxuan and went to the table to drink a bowl of porridge, the brothers Gu Wenyu and Zhao Dalang went out and came in one after another.

Even though Gu Wenyu knew that there were no guests at Gu Wenxuan's place, he still went to the nearby courtyard first and packed his bags.

Afterwards, he wiped his face, but still didn't see Zhou Changping come back. He knew that he would follow the old rules today and would not leave the examination room until the last minute to hand in the paper.

He simply stopped waiting and decided to go to the backyard to find Gu Wenxuan. He just happened to meet Zhimo's arrival and learned that Dajiang had returned and taken a bath.

Gu Wenyu knew that although Dajiang no longer took a medicinal bath every three to five days as before, he still took a medicinal bath every night during the exam period.

In the early days, it took about an hour to take a medicinal bath. In the past two days, it doesn’t take that long, but it still takes at least fifteen minutes.

That is to say, Dajiang has been studying for at least half an hour since he left the county. Regardless of how he did in the exam, the benefits of doing more exercises are very obvious.

Not to mention the past, but in these three days, there were quite a lot of questions every day. Although Dajiang was not as fast as Liu Lang every day, he was still much faster than the average person in solving the questions.

At least, he can't compare.

When they arrived at the place, seeing that Dajiang looked very good, Gu Wenyu knew that Dajiang not only answered questions quickly, but also must have done very well in the exam today.

"It seems that I still do less exercises than you."

Facing Gu Wenyu's sudden emotion, Dajiang was startled, then he shook his head with a smile, "It's better to go slowly. I'm in poor health and can't stand it any longer. I'll finish writing and come out as soon as possible."

"You are becoming more and more like your third brother-in-law. Your third brother-in-law said before that he was always very hungry at 3 p.m. and had to hand in his papers early.

You are so good, you even use your poor health as an excuse." Gu Wenyu glared at Da Jiang, "Why not learn from him and become thick-skinned?"

Gu Wenxuan laughed loudly and pushed Gu Wenyu with his hand, "Go eat your porridge quickly, it's getting cold." (End of this chapter)
