Chapter 147 Rural Examination

“You said, live in the present, buy the things you like, and spend money on the people you like.” Niu Niu said.

This really bothered Sun Jiaxing.

After choosing men's hairpins, Niuniu chose women's hairpins and picked a gold hairpin for Zhang Yunniang, Mrs. Gu and Liu Xiaoru. She also didn't leave out Gu Zhao and bought him a gold pendant based on his zodiac sign.

Of course, after coming out of the silver building, Niu Niu's pocket was almost empty.

Sun Jiaxing did not take her to continue shopping, but went to today's final stop: Yamen.

As soon as he arrived at the Yamen and revealed his identity, someone immediately took him inside, obviously saying hello to them in advance.

Niuniu was confused and asked: "Daddy Sun, is the person you want to meet a certain adult?"

Sun Jiaxing nodded.

The two soon met a middle-aged scribe who looked to be in his forties and had a kind face.

"Is this the little girl?" the middle-aged scribe asked Sun Jiaxing with a smile.

Sun Jiaxing nodded, handed over a thin piece of paper, and cupped his hand: "Excuse me."

The middle-aged scribe took up a pen and started writing on a piece of paper, and then called someone to bring a big seal and printed it on it.

A series of procedures were extremely tedious and took a lot of time. An ordinary child would have been impatient, but Niuniu had been waiting aside obediently. When she got bored, she would play with her fingers without making any noise.

After a long time, the middle-aged scribe finally stopped, exchanged a few words with Sun Jiaxing, and then handed a piece of paper with dry handwriting to Sun Jiaxing.

Sun Jiaxing took Niu Niu and stood up to say goodbye.

The middle-aged scribe smiled and watched the two people leave.

Niu Niu didn't know what Sun Jiaxing was doing until she returned home.

After Gu Mingda took the thin piece of paper, he stood up on the spot: "Brother Sun, what are you doing?"

Sun Jiaxing still looked like he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and replied: "As a father, I just want to give my daughter a little care."

"She has already received so much care from you, how can she get another house in Jiangzhou Prefecture?" Gu Mingda felt that Sun Jiaxing was crazy.

The second-entry house where the Gu family now lives in Jiangzhou Mansion has just been changed by Sun Jiaxing in the Yamen and transferred to Niu Niu's name.

Sun Jiaxing said: "My wife and I discussed this matter before departure. Since we recognize our daughter, we cannot just admit it in vain."

The second entrance to the house in Jiangzhou Prefecture, and it is a house close to Gongyuan and Confucius Temple. If it were to be sold, it would fetch at least eight hundred taels of silver.

Gu Mingda shook his head: "The previous gold necklace was already very valuable..."

Sun Jiaxing said: "The gold necklace is just a meeting gift, and the property you get is the real deal."

He originally wanted to give some land as a gift, but after thinking about it, Niu Niu was still young and might not be able to take care of it, so it would be more affordable to give her a house.

"Anyway, this house has been transferred. If you want to pay the rent, just give it to Niuniu directly. I won't care." After Sun Jiaxing said this, he stood up and left.

Gu Mingda and Zhang Yunniang looked at each other, sighed, and said, "Brother Sun is so generous. I don't know how to repay such a heavy favor."

Zhang Yunniang seemed much calmer than him, and asked: "Why do you always want to pay it back?"

Gu Mingda was stunned.

Zhang Yunniang said with a smile: "He sincerely regards Niu Niu as his daughter. He gave gifts not because of us, but because of Niu Niu. This is actually a favor from Niu Niu."

"How can someone as young as Niuniu afford such a heavy gift?" Gu Mingda said.

Niu Niu also nodded and said with a grimace, "The house is so expensive, Niu Niu may not even be able to afford it if I sell it."

Zhang Yunniang patted her little head and said, "He didn't give you the house just to repay the favor."

Niu Niu tilted her head when she heard this. Zhang Yuniang continued: "Baby, he hopes that you can truly become his daughter. You must be filial to Daddy Sun in the future, do you understand?"

Niu Niu nodded and said, "I know, he is also my family."

Zhang Yuniang also understood the awkwardness in Gu Mingda's heart, and said softly: "Ms. sir, it is also a good thing for us that many people love Niu Niu. We treat the Sun family as close relatives, so that we can live up to his love for Niu Niu."

Gu Mingda sighed. Sun Jiaxing was too good to Niu Niu, which aroused his fighting spirit. He had to find a way to become better, so as to maintain his position in Niu Niu's heart.

After Sun Jiaxing finished handling the real estate matter, he stayed in Jiangzhou Mansion for another two days before returning home.

Before leaving, he tried hard to bring Niu Niu back to Sun's house to live for a while. The Gu family was also happy to do so, but Niu Niu refused.

"Daddy Sun, when my father finishes the exam, I will go find you and my godmother." Niu Niu promised seriously.

Sun Jiaxing stretched out his hand: "Pull the hook, whoever doesn't go is a puppy!"

Five-year-old Niuniu thinks the retractor is very formal, but six-year-old Niuniu only thinks the retractor is a child's thing.

At this time, she looked like "I really can't do anything to you" and said: "Since pulling the hook is very important to Daddy Sun, then Niu Niu will pull the hook with Daddy Sun."

Sun Jiaxing chuckled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, dear."

After pulling the hook, Sun Jiaxing still looked back three times when he stepped onto the carriage, constantly confirming with Niu Niu: "You must go! You can't lie to me!"

Niu Niu took the trouble to nod and promise.

After Sun Jiaxing left, the whole house seemed to be quiet.

Gu Mingda's rural examination is about to take place, and the children don't need to be warned by adults, and there won't be any noise.

One morning two days later, before dawn, Gu Mingda got up.

The provincial examination is divided into three sessions and takes nine days in total.

Different from the twists and turns of the last scholar examination, this provincial examination went surprisingly smoothly.

There was neither a stumbling block that suddenly appeared nor a basin of sewage falling from the sky. The walk from the house to the Gongyuan was without any setbacks.

Even when Gu Mingda walked to the entrance of Gongyuan, he didn't have to wait outside like other candidates. The gate of Gongyuan opened when he lined up, and the inspection process was extremely smooth. As soon as he entered, he was assigned to a normal examination position.

Even so, Gu Mingda still did not dare to take it lightly, he was still extremely cautious.

If you want to say what is different about this exam.

That's the question.

The questions in this provincial examination are very biased, as if they were picked out by an old scholar who has lived for eighty or ninety years. He vented all his troubles in this provincial examination just to be ruthless. Revenge harshly on the students.

Gu Mingda carried the examination basket and walked out of the examination room with a tired look on his face, surrounded by the complaints of candidates.

Gu Mingda was suddenly tapped on the shoulder. It turned out to be Zheng Qi, who was admitted as a scholar with him in the last college examination.

"Brother Gu, I'm afraid I'm stuck this time. I didn't do well in the classic questions and policy analysis. I can only write the poems and break them down. Now is the season when the chrysanthemums are fragrant. When I write about the chrysanthemums, I feel like a **** is helping me. "Zheng Qi said with a bitter look on his face.

Gu Mingda frowned slightly and said, "The poem is inscribed with yellow flowers, but you wrote with chrysanthemums?"

Zheng Qi nodded vigorously.

Gu Mingda sighed and said: "'The fallen branches are half yellow', although the title contains the meaning of loneliness, it is not chrysanthemums, but rapeseed flowers."

Zheng Qi felt like he was struck by lightning: "What, the only question I answered well was wrong from the beginning!"
