"I should be able to do well in the exam."
Although Gu Jinguo was confident, he didn't dare to speak too confidently.
"Oh, it's good to have a lucky sister. Even if she doesn't do well in the exam, she can still become an official."
A discordant voice was heard. Gu Jinguo looked over and saw the third young master of the Duke of Rong's Mansion mocking him.
The third young master of the Duke of Rong's Mansion was originally an extremely outstanding young man, but he was no match for Gu Jinguo.
When Gu Jinguo got into trouble, he no longer had any rivals and was very happy over the years.
Who knew that now he was going to become the youngest juren, and Gu Jinguo actually came back.
But Gu Jinguo has been stupid for so many years, how could he be his opponent?
He will surely crush him under his feet.
"Who the hell are you? How dare you be jealous of Gu Jinguo and Lucky Sister! You're unlucky, you don't have Lucky Sister, and you're not smart enough to be an official. I think people like you are more suitable to go to the backyard and learn house fighting from those women!"
The tyrant's tongue is definitely the most poisonous in the world.
He can express things to you in a very clear and precise way without any expression on his face, even though most people cannot express them.
Rong Qing, the third young master of the Rongguo Mansion, had a gloomy face and his chest was heaving, as if he wanted to fight to the death.
But the other party was the Emperor of Da Qi. If he angered him and caused a war between the two countries, he would be a sinner. How could he dare to refute?
"Your Majesty, I know you like Fuxing, and you love her and her family, and you treat Gu Jinguo differently. But a person's talent and knowledge are earned through their own efforts. Gu Jinguo has been stupid for many years, and even if he has recovered his brain now, he is still worse than the average scholar."
This was not just his idea; almost everyone in the capital thought the same.
Their quarrel attracted many people to watch, and after hearing this, everyone agreed.
Seeing that everyone was on his side, Rong Qing felt even more proud.
"Gu Jinguo, a man should be self-reliant. You can't rely on your sister to succeed. If you have the ability, stand up and speak for yourself. Don't let others protect you."
He believed that Gu Jinguo was no match for him now, and his words became harsh.
Gu Jinguo just looked at him indifferently, with no embarrassment or anger on his face, but his tone was indifferent.
"The results of the imperial examination will be announced in three days. Why speculate before then?"
His calmness made Rongqing feel that he was pretending.
"Gu Jinguo, you're not deliberately avoiding this question, are you? Haha, yes, you must know that you won't pass the imperial examination, so it's best to avoid talking about it."
He wanted to provoke Gu Jinguo. How could this previously praised favored child of heaven be ridiculed like this?
"Whatever you think."
Gu Jinguo didn't care at all. Today he just wanted to accompany his sister shopping.
"Gu Jinguo, I think you are a coward. You dare not admit your failure."
"How about this, how about we make a bet? If you can't make it into the top three, how about you publicly admit your incompetence?"
Gu Jinguo frowned. He never studied or took the imperial examinations to prove his ability.
His goal has always been to protect his mother and sister, and to serve his country.
"Gu Jinguo, you don't dare, do you?"
The continuous provocations almost made the tyrant pick up a knife and kill people.
"Fourth brother, do it yourself!"
If Fubao hadn't stopped him, Rongqing would have died.
"In that case, I'll accept it!"
Gu Jinguo originally didn't want to accept this boring bet, but if he didn't accept it, Rong Qing would probably never stop.
"What if I get into the top three?"
He was not a fool to allow Rong Qing to target him.
Rong Qing stopped him today and wasted his time shopping with his sister, so he should be taught a lesson.
"If you make it into the top three, I'll apologize to you right here."
Gu Jinguo frowned: "Not enough!"
"Today you blocked my way and ruined my sister's shopping experience. As a punishment, you must accompany my sister shopping and buy her what she wants."
How much can a little doll buy?
Rongqing agreed readily.
"OK!"
All he could think of was Gu Jinguo admitting his incompetence and inferiority to him.
Fubao looked at his fourth brother and smiled brightly.
"Fourth brother is smart!"
Fubao loves shopping the most, especially when he doesn’t have to pay for it himself.
I came out today and found a sucker, which feels really good.
The tyrant suddenly felt that spending money himself was not satisfying enough. It was obviously more satisfying to spend other people's money and let Fubao buy things.
"Boy, you have a good brain. No matter how well you do in the exam, as long as you want to come to Da Qi, I will make you a high official!"
Gu Jinguo thanked him, but thought that he might never go to Qi in his lifetime.
He is from Nanzhao and just wants to stay in Nanzhao and develop it well.
After returning to the Imperial Master's Mansion, Wang Yanran saw the three people smiling happily and did not feel curious.
However, in order not to worry Wang Yanran, the three did not mention the bet.
The next day, the prince came over and Fubao asked him secretly.
"Brother Crown Prince, where did my fourth brother rank in the exam?"
Although she felt that Fourth Brother would definitely be able to do it, she still wanted to get a definite answer.
The prince came over to talk about this matter.
"Your fourth brother is definitely number one!"
Yesterday he went to the officials who were grading the exam papers and found them discussing Gu Jinguo's exam paper.
This year's questions were difficult, and these officials originally wanted to make things difficult for the candidates.
In fact, except for Gu Jinguo, all the candidates were stumped.
And precisely because of this, Gu Jinguo, who answered the question in the examiner's mind, was even more eye-catching.
"Really? That's great!"
Fubao jumped up happily, but his balance was unstable and his body went limp, and he almost fell down.
Fortunately, the prince supported her and kept her steady.
"Hehehe, I'm going to tell Fourth Brother!"
Gu Jinguo remained calm when he heard that he had ranked first in the exam.
"Thank you, Prince, for informing me in advance!"
The prince was very impressed by his calmness in the face of honor and disgrace.
"Fourth Young Master, you will definitely achieve great things in the future."
Gu Jinguo smiled warmly: "I only hope that my family is well and Nanzhao is at peace!"
The prince's heart warmed, and his eyes were filled with more admiration when he looked at Gu Jinguo.
Everyone in the Imperial Master's Mansion was excited when they learned that Gu Jinguo had ranked first.
Wang Yanran was afraid that the news would get out. At this moment, the results of all the candidates had not come out yet, and it would be easy for people to misunderstand that they had taken a backdoor.
The people in the Imperial Master's Mansion were very tight-lipped, but they couldn't stand the examiners who were grading the papers getting too excited.
Soon, the dark horse Gu Jinguo was completely exposed.
The next morning, Rong Qing was cursing in front of the Imperial Master's Mansion.
"Gu Jinguo, you despicable villain, actually used the relationship of Sister Fuxing to change your score to first place."
The imperial examination is an opportunity for many scholars to make a breakthrough, and no one is allowed to cheat.
Rong Qing's anger also inspired other scholars...
