Who will be the top scholar in this imperial examination? We don't know yet; the results won't be available until September.
However, in Gu Ren's mind, the top scholar of this imperial examination must be Gu En, and it could not be anyone else. If Gu En failed to get into the top rank, his second uncle would beat him to death. If he got into the top rank but was not named the top scholar by the emperor, the emperor would be scolded to death by the Empress Dowager.
Therefore, Gu En must be the top scholar in this imperial examination.
Gu Ren put Gu En and Zheng Qiu together in his mind, and he thought the image was quite nice!
If Zheng Qiu were his sister-in-law, hey, she definitely wouldn't be bullied by his mother. Just because of her profession, his mother would be terrified and would have to treat her well.
Oh dear, the more Gu Ren thought about it, the more suitable it seemed. In the end, he even wanted to wait for Gu En to return from his trip so he could play matchmaker for them.
...
The next day, after breakfast, Gu Ren and Dugu Mingyue went hand in hand to Gu Xin's courtyard, where Gu Xin and Gu Si were playing the zither.
"Third sister, fifth sister, why can you play such beautiful melodies on this thing, but I can't?" Dugu Mingyue let go of Gu Ren, ran over, and was very annoyed.
“You’re still young. You can wait until you’re older,” Gu Si said.
"Little Mingyue, you actually want to learn to play the piano?" Gu Xin was shocked.
This girl loves listening to Gu Ren tell stories, except when she's fighting. She even wants to learn to play the piano.
And she's only five years old.
"Renren said that a young lady must be proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting!" Dugu Mingyue glanced at Gu Ren, sighed, and said.
Gu Xin and Gu Si exchanged a glance.
Gu Ren raised his chin smugly. "Hmph, don't let the fact that this girl often bullies me fool you. She listens to me very well!"
“Mingyue, don’t listen to Renren’s nonsense! He’s proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Most people can’t do that. Even he himself can’t do it.” Gu Si pulled Gu Mingyue down to sit and said.
“That’s right, Mingyue. Renren said he wants to master it, so let him master it first! Think about it, you’ll always be better than him in one thing! That’s kung fu. Even if he’s two years older than you, his mediocre kung fu will never be as good as yours,” Gu Xin added.
"How can you compare? Xiaomingyue's beauty is natural, mine is acquired," Gu Ren said speechlessly.
"Hehe, bear with it, don't worry. Even if you can't beat others in a fight, I'll help you! No one dares to bully you. Not even your parents." Xiaomingyue clenched her fist and raised it.
"Thank you so much!" Gu Ren sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.
He was really afraid that this brat would become so dependent on him that he wouldn't be able to get rid of her later. How terrifying!
Goddess Kingdom, a matriarchal dynasty! He's from a modern, egalitarian society, and he just transmigrates to ancient times. And he even gets to be childhood sweethearts with the queen of the matriarchal kingdom?
That's terrifying.
"You're welcome! We're like family!" Dugu Mingyue waved her hand and said, "Third Sister, Fifth Sister, let me tell you, I recently learned a poem, and I even understand the meaning of one line. Do you want to hear it?"
"Great!" Gu Xin and Gu Si said in unison.
"The boy rode a bamboo horse, playing with green plums around the bed. This poem means, well, it describes the childhood sweetheart relationship between me and Renren!" Dugu Mingyue said happily.
"Hahahaha... Yes, yes, that's exactly what I mean." Gu Xin and Gu Si couldn't help but laugh. Little Mingyue was really hilarious!
Gu Ren was on the verge of tears. Damn it, who taught him all this?
They are relatives, cousins, although they are not within three generations, they are still relatives!
