The Queen of Qing Dynasty is beautiful and kind

Chapter 253
When Gu Qingxu woke up, it was already dark.

Gu Qinghuan was sitting by the desk on one side, flipping through the books that Gu Qingxu used to read.

Most of the Four Books and Five Classics are also Confucian classics.But the books that Gu Qingxu read covered a wide range of topics, and there were also some unpopular anecdotes.

Gu Qinghuan picked out some that he liked to watch, and after a while, he heard Gu Qingxu on the side seem to wake up.

"Brother is awake?"

Gu Qinghuan put down the book in his hand, but he didn't go to the bed, so he said, "I never thought you'd drink just one glass. Fortunately, you didn't drink too much, or I'd have a headache."

"."

Gu Qingxu who was on the bed woke up in a daze.

He seemed to remember something...

When he saw Ama when he returned home, he was completely shocked.But fortunately, Ama didn't seem to be angry, and said a lot to him.

He can't remember clearly.

All I knew was that I was really confused at the time, and fell asleep not long after.

Could it be that he fell asleep in Ama's arms?
Obediently... won't you?If this is the case, then he is really ashamed...

"elder brother?"

When Gu Qinghuan realized that Gu Qingxu hadn't paid attention to him for a long time, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? Are you... still sleepy?"

"Not sleepy anymore."

Gu Qingxu thought for a while, and decided not to ask about embarrassing matters, and then asked: "What time is it?"

"It's almost midnight."

Gu Qinghuan said: "Originally, I planned that brother, if you fell asleep directly until midnight, I would leave you alone and go back and rest on my own."

"You didn't eat dinner, I asked the kitchen to save food. Are you hungry? I asked Ah Shuang to cook a bowl of noodles for you? Or do you want to eat something else? There are chaotic glutinous rice balls."

"Just eat the noodles."

Gu Qingxu said: "Sister, you are so kind."

is really good...

"Brother was joking."

Gu Qinghuan said: "My brother said today that he wants to be the pillar of the family. I will rely on you in the future, so naturally I want to take good care of this pillar."

"Haha..." Gu Qingxu didn't know how to respond to Gu Qinghuan's words, but could only smile foolishly.

...

This time, shortly after the Spring Festival, a piece of news came out of the court.

Said to be…

Originally, the No. [-] scholar Zhang Ying was fancying this time was actually Gu Qingxu's.It's just helpless, Gu Qingxu's article is really well written, and it is somewhat similar to one of Zhang Ying's students.

Zhang Ying is in charge of the scientific examination and has the power to determine the ranking of candidates.Looking at the person whose style of writing is similar to his own apprentice, he thought it was his own apprentice, and in order to avoid suspicion, he did not give the champion.

Who knew...but it was an oolong.In the end, the real No. [-] scholar really became Zhang Ying's disciple.

It's just a coincidence.But the matter has come to this point, Zhang Bang has already been announced, everything has naturally come to a conclusion and will not be changed.

It was also because of this that Gu Qingxu's talent and reputation seemed to be more highlighted.

Gu Mansion.

At the dinner table, Gu Zheng was the first to mention this matter by himself.

With a serious face, he looked at his son who was neither arrogant nor discouraged, and said: "This matter is a rumor after all, and it should not be taken seriously. Since you are the second place in the list, you should take this fact seriously, you know?"

Don't... Something went wrong.

"Son won't."

Gu Qingxu said casually: "Is it possible that you don't know how much your son weighs? You are lucky to be ranked second in the list, so naturally you don't dare to expect the champion."

"That's fine."

After hearing this, Gu Zheng felt a little relieved.

"only…"

Gu Qinghuan looked at the two father and son who were talking, but couldn't help but interjected: "My daughter heard that the number one scholar is always paraded in the streets, right? I want to go and see."

The number one scholar paraded through the streets.

Sitting on a tall horse with big red flowers, parading in the streets of the capital.

The beating of gongs and drums in such a beautiful way, just by imagining it, I feel very mighty.

"Go." Gu Zheng didn't have much restraint on his daughter in this regard.After thinking about it, he said, "But it's best to watch it from the second floor of the teahouse."

"There are too many people watching below, it's not good if they are crowded out."

"My daughter will."

The spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, seeing Chang'an flowers in one day.

On the day when the number one scholar paraded through the streets, when Gu Qinghuan went out early in the morning, the street that the number one scholar would pass by was already almost deserted.

Fortunately, Gu Qinghuan had agreed with Fu Chaxue in advance that she wanted a private room on the second floor of her tea shop, so that she could watch the bustle of the champion parade.

otherwise…

This is afraid that it is extremely difficult to book a seat.

When it was still early, Gu Qinghuan was eating tea and snacks on the second floor of the tea shop.

Ah Shuang and Yaqi sat on one side, and they were also very interested and looked out of the window from time to time.It's a pity that you can only hear the sound in the distance, but you can't see anything.

"This boat leaf cake is really delicious."

After eating a piece of dim sum, Yaqi asked, "Qing Huan, where did you buy it?"

"It's at the Liji dim sum shop in the east of the city."

Gu Qinghuan then explained: "The snacks there are all delicious. Especially the Chuanye crisps, which I have loved since I was a child. There are also almond crisps, walnut crisps, pea yellow and so on."

"Everything is delicious, you can go there to buy it when you have time. It's just... It's a bit far away from the Fourth Prince's house. I used to want to buy it when I was out of the house, but I didn't go because it was too far away because I was afraid it would be too late. "

"East of the city..."

Yaqi thought about living in the Si Age Mansion in the west of the city, but it seemed quite far away.

"Yeah, are you coming?"

After Ah Shuang heard the voice from a distance, she immediately pulled Gu Qinghuan and Yaqi.

In the distance, the sound of gongs and drums was really much closer.

"It really is."

When Gu Qinghuan heard this, he immediately put down the peanuts he was holding.He moved to the window and looked at the crowd in the distance.

The crowd of Zhuangyuanlang really came in this direction.

Some were holding signs, and some were holding flowers.As for the number one scholar, it seems that he is really riding on a tall horse with big red flowers.

Looking at it from such a distance, it is enough to see that the momentum of the crowd is huge.

"It's really lively."

At this time, it was a little far away, and Yaqi couldn't see clearly, so she asked, "Qing Huan, what does the number one scholar look like? Is it good-looking? I heard that the Tanhua this time is pretty good, is it so?"

PS: Regarding the fact that Gu Qingxu was originally the No. [-] pick, but became No. [-] because of the examiner's avoidance of suspicion, it also happened in history. (It can be regarded as a reference.)
The protagonist in history is Su Shi.The first person who didn't get No.1 because he did too well in the exam, please refer to Baidu for details~ I won't talk about it here.
