Chapter 313 County Examination Begins
The second day was a rare sunny day. Although the occasional breeze was cold, it was still very good compared to a rainy day.
Gu Jiayue carefully examined Gu Yuchuan's clothes. After confirming that they were thick enough, she nodded in satisfaction. "Good, this way I'm sure I won't get cold."
Gu Yuchuan wanted to move his arms helplessly, but the heavy cotton coat hindered his movements.
What I mean is, if you dress like this and then enter the examination room, will you be able to write?
But this was all his sister's intention, and he felt embarrassed to refuse.
Forget it, if it doesn’t work, I’ll just take it off after entering the examination room.
"Okay, let's go. There will be a lot of people and we will have to wait in line for a long time." Gu Yuchuan, holding the exam basket, greeted Gu Jiayue who was still busy.
Gu Jiayue stopped her nonsensical busyness. "Let's go."
Although it wasn't her first time taking a test, it was her first time taking a family member to take one, and for some reason she was really nervous.
If conditions allowed, she would have thought about wearing a cheongsam.
No, these aren't clothes from this era. Then, should I buy a sunflower from the system? Congratulations to my second brother on winning the championship?
No, no, it's only February and there are no sunflowers yet. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to carry them by myself?
Gu Jiayue was so preoccupied with thoughts that she couldn't even concentrate on walking.
Gu Yuchuan felt a little tired. Not only did he have to carry the exam basket and the quilt, but he also had to keep an eye on Gu Jiayue, who was parading around, to prevent her from bumping into the wall.
When they arrived at the test site, Gu Jiayue and the others easily found Huo Junyu.
This time, Huo Junyu not only guaranteed for Gu Yuchuan, but also for two others.
The county examination requires three or more candidates to guarantee each other in order to comply with the rules.
The five of them discussed it for a while and confirmed that there was no problem. Gu Yuchuan said, "We are going to line up now. You should go back and rest early."
Gu Jiayue nodded.
Seeing everyone carrying their belongings to leave, her occupational health kicked in again. "Let's do a final check before we line up. Everyone, check to see if you have your exam tickets. Check to see if any food is smelly or spoiled. And then check to see if there's anything you need that you forgot to bring."
I don’t know why, but after hearing her words, everyone started to explore unconsciously.
Gu Yuchuan didn't refuse. It was still early, so it was fine to go along with his sister's wishes. It would just be a little more troublesome.
"Hey, Brother Deshou, are you hot? Why is there so much sweat on your forehead?" Another candidate looked at his companion in confusion while checking his exam basket.
Chen Deshou smiled awkwardly. "I'm wearing too many clothes. It's a bit hot." He glanced at Gu Yuchuan from the side as he said this.
When he saw that his hand had already reached from his body into the examination basket, he suddenly became very nervous.
Gu Yuchuan was looking through his exam basket when he suddenly paused and took out a pancake from the basket. "This pancake was not made by my mother."
Although his mother was a good cook and made good pancakes, the color of the pancakes was not very good due to the ingredients.
But the pancake he took out not only looked very nice in color, but also smelled like meat.
When making the pancakes, grandma specifically reminded me not to put meat in them, for fear that they would go bad and become inedible.
So how did this pancake get into his exam basket?
Gu Yuchuan looked up and scanned the people around him, almost locking onto Chen Deshou the moment he saw him. "Is it you?"
Chen Deshou laughed dryly. "Brother Gu, what are you talking about?"
Gu Jiayue and Huo Junyu looked at each other.
Gu Jiayue reached out to take the pancake and tore it into pieces in front of everyone. Then, a white piece of paper fell out of it.
Everyone looked at Chen Deshou.
Chen Deshou was extremely panicked, but he forced himself to calm down. "Why are you looking at me? I didn't do anything."
Damn it, it was clearly foolproof. As long as Gu Yuchuan went to the queue with the pancakes, he would definitely be discovered, and then he would complete the task and get a large sum of money.
Damn it! It's all that woman's fault. Why did she suggest checking the exam baskets for no reason? Is she paranoid?
He had no idea that after being a class teacher for so many years, she would encounter candidates who couldn't find their admission tickets almost every year during exams. So she was used to reminding them.
Unexpectedly, this really allowed Gu Yuchuan to find out the problem.
Gu Jiayue couldn't imagine that if he was discovered by the yamen runners when entering the examination room, not only would Gu Yuchuan be in trouble, but the two candidates who had guarantied with him, Huo Junyu who acted as the guarantor, and Gu Jiayue who provided the supporting documents would all be implicated.
"Why are you doing this? If my second brother is found to be cheating, you won't benefit from it, right?" Gu Jiayue asked doubtfully.
Chen Deshou had calmed down by now. "Miss, I've already told you it wasn't me. If you have evidence, show it to me. Don't accuse someone of this wrongful act. Couldn't it be that Gu Yuchuan himself wanted to cheat?"
The truth was revealed, and he had already lost his chance to curry favor with Master Zhu before he had fulfilled his orders. Now he couldn't let them get any evidence that he had done this.
otherwise……
Fortunately, he didn't do it himself, so even if they investigate now, they won't find anything.
Thinking this way, he felt more and more relaxed. He could even taunt Gu Yuchuan. "I heard that Brother Gu was a fool before, and only regained his sanity before the New Year. How much can he read in just a few months? It's understandable that he wants to take shortcuts in this hurry. But please, Brother Gu, don't let us get into trouble."
After these words were spoken, another candidate looked at Gu Yuchuan with some resentment in his eyes.
Yes, we are all in this together. If one person cheats, they will all be punished.
"Brother Gu, please put the overall situation first!"
Gu Yuchuan didn't say anything, just stared at Chen Deshou.
Gu Jiayue wondered if Gu Yuchuan didn't know how to curse. Even when others were saying such harsh things, he could still remain calm. So, she put her hands on her hips and was about to stand up for her brother.
Gu Yuchuan pressed his shoulder. "Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. We'll talk about it after the county exam is over."
Gu Yuchuan withdrew his gaze and carefully checked his entire body again.
Finally, a small piece of paper was found in the rolled-up quilt, with words written all over it.
"Oh, that's really interesting."
"Second brother." Gu Jiayue was a little worried that this would affect Gu Yuchuan's mood for the exam.
But who was Gu Yuchuan? In his previous life, he had been the Prime Minister of three dynasties, and his methods of disciplining people were much more sophisticated than this. In his eyes, these methods were like children playing house, not worth mentioning.
"After I go in to take the exam, please help me do something." Gu Yuchuan whispered in Gu Jiayue's ear.
Gu Jiayue nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry, I'll help you. Just do your best on the exam when you get in."
Gu Yuchuan said: "I will definitely do well in the exam."
Gu Jiayue wanted to say something but was signaled to step back by the yamen runners who came to clear the area.
She quickly said, "Second brother, try your best. I believe you will pass the exam."
After all, his second brother is the male protagonist of a male-oriented rebirth revenge and political conspiracy novel. A test of this level is nothing to him, right?
But thinking about the world consciousness that the system said had gone crazy, Gu Jiayue became a little uncertain again.
Cannon fodder who can change fate has already appeared, so how long will it take for the protagonist's halo to be taken away?
Gu Jiayue suddenly had a premonition that this world might become an arena in the near future.
Seize the Luck...
Gu Jiayue thought to herself somewhat recklessly: How exciting.
