Qi Mei passed the imperial examination and was awarded the second-class jinshi degree. He had to study for three years before he could become an official. But when the news of Qi Mei's success spread back to Tongcheng, the neighbor's jaw was dislocated again! But no one paid any attention.
When returning home in glory to worship their ancestors, Qi Mei took the lead in burning incense. She stood at the first position. She was a person who was not qualified to enter the ancestral hall before, but now she took the lead in presiding over the ancestral worship ceremony. This is change.
She finally understood why Gu Can had always told her not to give up studying. Seeing those cousins outside the ancestral hall and their envious and eager eyes, Gu Can encouraged her to study for the imperial examination, not to attract attention, but to prove to the world that women are never weak, so that women all over the world can have a chance to change their fate of being at the mercy of others.
She had been complacent because of passing the imperial examination, and she felt a little lighter than usual. But she was immediately weighed down by the heavy responsibility. Fortunately, she didn't really start to get carried away, and she already knew what she had to do.
Three years later, Gu Can participated in the Spring Examination and rode a horse in a parade through the streets. The three members of the Gu family became completely famous.
A family of three, all top scorers! They were definitely worthy of being recorded in history, and indeed, they were.
After leaving the Imperial College and studying under Gu Can, Yuchuan Jiang finally passed the imperial examination and became a juren in the same year that Gu Can passed the imperial examination with the highest score. The King of Chu was so happy that he went to the palace and searched the private vaults of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor!
The King of Chu had already investigated the affairs of the Imperial College. All the officials, including the Chief Academician, the Dean of Education, and the Supervisor, were dismissed. The King of Chu also recommended Gu Liang to be the Chief Academician of the Imperial College without any hesitation.
When it comes to education, Gu Liang is a professional!
Ji Xiaoju went to work at the Ministry of Revenue, and it must be said that her professional skills were absolutely perfect for her! Apart from anything else, after taking office, she spent only one month to settle all the old accounts of the Ministry of Revenue, which was really impressive.
Anyway, their family is not afraid of offending people. There is no weak person in the family of three. No matter how angry those corrupt officials who bully people and take human lives are, or how they use conspiracies and tricks, they can't hurt the three of them at all. The final outcome is either to keep a low profile and start a new life, or to play the game of Nine Clans Elimination.
After graduating from high school, Gu Can went straight to work in the Ministry of Justice. Those people initially thought that she was young and a girl, so they used those old cases to fool her. Unexpectedly, those cases where they could not find the murderers, were all arrested within three months, and a lot of unjust, false and wrong cases were also found and retried.
Three months later, she was directly promoted to the Minister of Justice. The Shangshu thought highly of her and gave her whatever she wanted, as long as she didn't think about taking his official position!
All three members of the family are top scholars. Both their father and mother have made outstanding political achievements and are trusted ministers by the emperor. Liu Fengan is her adoptive father, and the King of Chu supports them behind the scenes.
Gu Can is capable herself, as long as she doesn't commit treason, even if she reveals it to the world, the emperor will personally make up for it for her!
It's not like no one tried to frame them for treason, but the end result was always a nine-clan elimination game, or the entire clan was exiled. The Minister of Justice wanted to retire peacefully, and now he has strict restrictions on his family. Anyone who dares to violate his integrity in his later years will be eliminated by him personally!
After spending three years in the Imperial College, Qi Mei decisively resigned and returned to her hometown to open a girls' school.
More and more women were able to enter academies and take the imperial examinations, changing their own destinies and influencing more people.
After Gu Can passed high school, Yuchuan Jiang returned to the Imperial College. However, by this time, the Imperial College's chief academic officer had been replaced by Gu Liang, and the entire atmosphere had been completely changed. Three years later, when Yuchuan Jiang took the palace examination, he also impressed his uncle, the emperor.
Their royal family really had a scholar. With a wave of his hand, he was appointed as the third place winner!
Yuchuan Jiang insisted on going to the Ministry of Justice to follow Gu Can.
"Zigui, if you really like Cancan, I will go to the palace and ask my brother the emperor to issue an edict." Zigui is Yuchuan Jiang's pen name. Gu Can's ability, character and appearance are all too outstanding. Yushan Jun and Wu He also feel that their sons are not worthy of him, but Yuchuan Jiang has liked to follow Gu Can since he was a child.
If they could really marry such a daughter-in-law, then the Chu Palace would have gotten a great bargain.
"Father, Mother, I really like Cancan. She is the bright moon in the endless night. Who doesn't like her? But my admiration and respect for her is that of a strong person. There is no petty love in her world. I just see in her what it means to have the world in mind. I don't want to own her, but I want to be someone like her who can illuminate the lives of others." Yuchuan Jiang said seriously.
"I am your son. Even if I can't inherit the title like my elder brother, I was born into a life of luxury. I can easily become a prince or a duke. But precisely because of this, we have the responsibility to do better."
"The Great Yu Dynasty does not belong to our Yu family, but to the people of the world. We are in high positions and cannot just enjoy the glory."
"Did Cancan tell you this too?"
"That's not the case. It's what I've learned and figured out by being with her. I'm not getting married, not because of Cancan. Marriage isn't just about marrying a girl, it's about taking care of her, cherishing her, and respecting her. But now I just want to do more for the people. I've been traveling all over the country without a stable time. Marrying her and then neglecting her is not what a gentleman does."
"This is the most basic responsibility of a man. Since you have made up your mind, just do it. Father and mother will always be proud of you." Yushan Jun looked at the determined Yuchuan Jiang.
Why envy Gu Liang and Liu Fengan? His son is not bad either!
Over thirty years had passed, and the Great Yu Dynasty was a peaceful and prosperous country, with the people living and working in peace and contentment. The Emperor had long since abdicated the throne to the Crown Prince, and he loved to travel among the common people with the Empress, the Prince of Chu, and Wu He.
After retiring, Liu Feng'an fell in love with fishing. He loved going fishing with Gu Liang, and occasionally the King of Chu would drag him out for a walk. Take a look at the prosperous scene of the Great Yu Dynasty today.
When encountering injustice, I like it most, so I rush to ask Gu Can to solve the problem!
Gu Can had a particularly nice nickname, Gu Qingtian. As long as she was there, there would be no wrongful convictions. Because of her presence alone, even the credibility of the government was greatly improved. You can imagine how much she did.
Liu Fengan never thought that his later years would be so happy, without illness or disaster, and he would pass away peacefully in his sleep.
The winter of 1961 was a cold, damp winter in southern China. Policies implemented without regard for the country's realities were followed by a series of natural disasters. During this horrific time, people were starving to the point of eating dirt, though some vegetation could still be found in the south. Despite frequent poisoning incidents, they were no match for the horrors of starvation.
Gu Liang's family at the end of Sanshi Village was so hungry that they finally found some mushrooms. They were not sure whether they were poisonous or not, so they cooked them and ate them. The four members of the family all started foaming at the mouth.
