Song Chi didn't say anything. This kid looked naive but he seemed to be a bit wise.

He followed Gu Ronghua away.

Outside the Imperial Examination Hall, candidates came out from time to time. Some looked proud and confident, while others hung their heads and seemed to be crying but had no tears.

Duan Yunzhou looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he got on a carriage parked on the side of the road.

"Master Ming, don't worry, Song Chi will never pass the college entrance examination."

It turned out that the person sitting in the carriage was Song Ming. The matter in Ji County was quite serious. As the person involved, Song Ming was not in a position to return to Beijing and had to stay out of the spotlight.

He received another task, which was to raise money and food for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Jiangzhou, and thus it has been delayed until now.

His father's request was to capture Gu Rongshan directly, thereby directly obtaining the Gu family's wealth and cutting off Prince Qing's idea of ​​winning over the Gu family.

The two of them were raising money and food like crazy, and the Gu family, as the richest family in Jiangzhou, naturally became the fat meat.

Many problems can be solved as long as Gu Rongshan is captured.

Song Ming felt that his father was a bit too mean. Why did he always like to use women? Before, he asked him to take down Liang Qingwu, and later in order to win over An Guogong, he asked him to pursue Luo Yurou.

Now he is asked to capture Gu Rongshan.

It's really despicable. Can't you use some righteous means?

Song Ming despised him in his heart.

The key point is that he doesn't have the ability to take down Gu Rongshan now, but he can't force her too much, for fear of throwing the Gu family into the hands of Prince Qing, which is extremely uncomfortable.

The Gu family is now very close to Song Chi. As long as Song Chi is dealt with, it will surely serve as a warning to the Gu family.

As soon as the college entrance examination was over, he rushed here without stopping.

The imperial examination in Songchi is of great importance.

His Royal Highness Prince Qing has already said that if Song Chi can pass the provincial examination and come to Beijing, he will be given an important position. Thus, Song Chi has a strong backer, and it will be difficult to touch him.

Song Ming also knew what his father was thinking. If Song Chi could pass the provincial examination and enter Beijing despite numerous obstacles, it would be enough to prove his talent and ability. He would surely take Song Chi back home directly without any reservations.

Therefore, he could not let Song Chi pass these two exams no matter what.

If he can't even pass the college entrance examination, no one will value him anymore, and Liang Qingwu will not be interested in this waste after a long time.

Duan Yunzhou continued, "Ma Xuezheng tried every possible means, but he didn't even finish the exam. There's no way he could pass the entrance exam."

"Haven't you finished the test?" Song Ming looked happy.

"Yes, you don't know how ingenious Ma Xuezheng's method is. It's really one thing after another, leaving Song Chi with no solution."

Duan Yunzhou started talking.

After listening to it, Song Ming exclaimed: "Old ginger is still the wisest. This way, Song Chi's talent is limited."

"That's it."

Duan Yunzhou smiled and said, "I have a bet with Song Chi that he will kowtow to me ten times at the entrance to the Imperial Examination Hall on the day the results are announced. You should definitely come and watch the fun."

"If there's such a commotion, I'll definitely come."

Song Ming patted Duan Yunzhou on the shoulder and said, "You are the one that father singled out for praise. Under your management, Qingke Pavilion is also doing well. After you pass the provincial examination and take part in the metropolitan examination next year, you will definitely have a bright future."

"I would also like to thank Master Ming for his support." Duan Yunzhou bowed humbly.

......

Yiyuan is a private manor of the Gu family in Jiangzhou City. It usually does not receive outside guests and is only inhabited by the Gu family. It is quiet, elegant and has a pleasant environment.

Gu Rongshan put on light makeup today and wore a light pink dress. Unlike her usual strong woman look, this time she had a more delicate and pretty girl vibe.

She felt that a talented scholar like Song Chi would not like women to show off and engage in business.

"Brother, we're here."

Gu Ronghua brought Song Chi in. The main hall was luxuriously decorated with a pearwood round table in the middle, on which fine wine and delicious food were already placed.

Gu Rongshan is really sincere.

"Song Kuishou, you are finally here." Gu Rongshan stood up and spoke softly on purpose, acting like a little girl. She was still not used to it, as she was usually so decisive.

Song Chi was slightly startled. He frowned slightly at Gu Rongshan's outfit, but quickly covered it up and said with a smile, "Weren't you preparing for the college entrance examination? I rushed here as soon as the exam was over."

"Yeah?"

Gu Rongshan said calmly, "I heard that you, Song Kuishou, went to Fanlou several times. Could it be that you were also preparing for the college entrance examination?"

"Yes, yes, that's the feeling." Song Chi said subconsciously.

"Um?"

Gu Rongshan was a little slow to react.

Song Chi said, "Miss Gu is always decisive and swift in running the Gu family, and most people don't take her seriously. But now she's acting like a little woman. I'm uncomfortable watching her, and you're not comfortable pretending, either. Why don't you just be yourself?"

"Just like the tone you used just now, confident yet a little disdainful, well... that's you."

Song Chi's explanation left Gu Rongshan stunned. After a while, she smiled faintly and said, "So Song Kuishou likes this."

This woman is kind of smart.

Just ask men, which one doesn’t like office ladies?

My cousin is still in the process of transitioning to an office lady, while Gu Rongshan is already a mature office lady president with a significantly different temperament.

"Ronghua, take Song Kuishou to a seat first. My sister has something to do and will be here later."

"Um."

Gu Ronghua scratched his head. He didn't quite understand what the two were saying.

She went to change her clothes.

Song Chi thought to himself, this woman is really capable and has a very good eye for men. She is worthy of being the woman who can take charge of such a big Gu family.

Such a woman is extremely arrogant, but willing to cater to one's own preferences. She must be asking for something.

Song Chi was thinking about sitting down when Gu Ronghua had already filled the glass with wine. "Brother, come and have a few drinks with my sister later. There are plenty of rooms in Yiyuan. After drinking too much... hehe."

"Are you my biological brother?" Song Chi asked, "How could you be so deceiving to your sister?"

"This isn't a trap. It's about giving my sister a good home. Although she's a girl, she does things that men do. She has many suitors, but she can't be with anyone, and she won't even get married."

"Are you worried that the Gu family's assets will be taken away by others?"

"yes."

Gu Ronghua lowered his head and said dejectedly, "It's all my fault that I'm so useless and can't support such a large family business. My sister didn't look for a husband for the sake of the Gu family's assets."

"Then why do you think I can?"

Gu Ronghua said, "You don't covet my Gu family's property."

Song Chi asked curiously, "Why am I not greedy?"

"You don't even look down on the Gu family's assets. You have greater ambitions than this."

"you......"

It seemed like Song Chi was meeting Gu Ronghua for the first time. This kid really has some skills.

He was right. Song Chi really looked down on the Gu family. But he was going to be the emperor, so how could he look down on such a small family business?

"So, my sister would be a good match if she follows you. She's been really worried about the family lately, so you have to help her."

Outsiders say that Gu Ronghua is the stupid son of a landlord, but I think they are the real stupid ones.

"Song Kuishou, sorry for the long wait."

At this time, Gu Rongshan walked out and Song Chi was stunned.
