Chapter 315 Exam
The fate of this world is so wonderful. Zhu Dachang's position is just across from Gu Yuchuan.
He saw Gu Yuchuan while queuing, and then he knew that the person he arranged had failed.
But by then everyone had already come in, and it was too late to do anything.
So even if you feel unwilling, you can only watch.
After everyone sat down according to their seats, he saw Gu Yuchuan sitting diagonally across from him. Just as he was thinking about how to teach him a lesson, he saw Gu Yuchuan start to answer the questions.
He didn't want to lose to Gu Yuchuan, so he quickly lowered his head and tried to think quietly.
After finally getting some clues, he found Zheng Qinghe standing next to him.
Then, he heard Zheng Qinghe sigh softly, and the disappointment in his tone almost overwhelmed him.
This sigh instantly made the idea he had finally found disappear.
Then Zheng Qinghe walked to Gu Yuchuan, looking at him and nodding.
The expression on his face changed from indifference at first, to seriousness, and then to astonishment. He did not miss any scene.
The main reason was that Gu Yuchuan seemed unable to feel Zheng Qinghe's powerful aura and continued to answer the questions calmly.
After finishing the questions, he saw that Zheng Qinghe had not left yet, and even went so far as to pick up the pancake beside him and start eating it.
Hey, brother, the county magistrate is right next to you. Not only are you not nervous, but you are actually eating pancakes?
The jealousy in his heart was like a wildfire in the spring breeze, which could not be extinguished no matter what.
He spent the whole day thinking about how to deal with Gu Yuchuan. When he came to his senses, he found that it was almost dark, but his first question was still an unfinished half-finished product.
At this moment, all the resentment disappeared. Nothing could be more important than doing the test.
But he knew that he was already at a disadvantage.
Ten years ago, he was not as good as Gu Yuchuan, and ten years later, he still could not compare to him!
Why?
How could a fool be more powerful than him!
That person had clearly told him that as long as he could make Gu Yuchuan stupid, he could change his fate and become a great writer.
But what is the reality?
The reality is that he is not even as good as a fool.
The jealousy in his heart overwhelmed his rationality. The pen in his hand almost left an afterimage on the manuscript paper, but even he was not satisfied with the content he wrote.
Snap...
He slammed the pen to the ground. The ink splashed onto his pale blue sleeves, as if mocking his incompetence.
He wanted to scream and shout, but his last bit of reason told him that he couldn't do that.
If he disrupts the examination room, he will never be able to take the imperial examination.
The entire Zhu family is counting on him to change the family, and he cannot make any mistakes.
After a long time, he took out a brush from the examination basket again and continued answering questions as if nothing had happened.
All this did not affect Gu Yuchuan. He was like a deaf-mute, unable to feel what was happening in the outside world, and continued to answer the questions wholeheartedly.
Although Zheng Qinghe stood behind Gu Yuchuan from the first day of the exam, it did not affect his performance.
As soon as the gate opened, he was the first person to walk out of the examination room.
Zhu Dachang looked at Gu Yuchuan's back, and the resentment in his eyes seemed to have solidified into substance.
Gu Yuchuan, let you be arrogant for a few days.
Fools should stay in the world of nothingness! Forever!
Gu Jiayue had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when she saw Gu Yuchuan, she quickly went to greet him. "Second brother, are you okay?"
"Not bad." Just a little hungry.
Because the biscuits were crushed and difficult to preserve, most of them were eaten by rats on the third day.
Fortunately, he also brought fried rice. Every day when he got up, he would warm a pot of water in a ceramic pot. When he was hungry, he would soak the rice in the water until it was soft and eat it.
I can eat enough, but it doesn’t taste good.
Gu Jiayue reached out to support Gu Yuchuan, whose steps were unsteady. "Let's go. Huzi has parked the carriage in the alley ahead."
Gu Yuchuan didn't hesitate either, and the brother and sister supported each other as they walked forward.
"How's the investigation going on with the matter I assigned you earlier?"
Before entering the examination room, Gu Yuchuan gave the pancake with the note hidden inside to Gu Jiayue, asking her to check and see if she could find out which shop made the pancake and then follow the clues to find the person who bought the pancake.
Gu Jiayue glanced around, making sure no one else was around, and nodded. "Actually, that pancake is quite unique, especially the meat filling. You can tell there's a secret recipe involved. I gave it to a beggar on the street, and he knew it was from Hu Ji Shaobing Shop the first time he took a bite."
"Hu Ji Shaobing Shop?"
Gu Jiayue continued, "Yes, later I made some inquiries and found out that the owner of Hu Ji Shaobing Shop has a younger sister, who is Zhu Dachang's new concubine who was taken in last month."
So, what else is there to not understand?
It must be that Zhu Dachang was holding a grudge and wanted to take revenge on Gu Yuchuan, so he came up with such a mean trick to ruin Gu Yuchuan's reputation.
Gu Jiayue was a little confused. "He's too petty. He was the one who caused trouble for us that day. But he's the one who holds a grudge against us first."
I have never seen such a petty person.
"Didn't you notice that day? They seemed to have known me before."
After Gu Yuchuan’s reminder, Gu Jiayue also reacted.
Indeed, Zhu Dachang's attitude that day was very strange.
They just passed each other and didn't have much contact, but Zhu Dachang recognized Gu Yuchuan at a glance.
Thinking about Zhu Dachang's tone and demeanor, Gu Jiayue said uncertainly, "Did you have a grudge against each other before?"
Gu Yuchuan's expression remained unchanged. "Well, ten years ago, we were classmates at the same private school for two months. I heard that before I joined, he was always the top student there."
There are so many hidden meanings in this sentence.
Ten years ago? Wasn't that the year when Gu Yuchuan became a fool?
My parents told me that my second brother only studied in a private school for two months, and then on his way home he encountered bandits, who robbed him of his belongings, beat him up, and threw him into a ditch. Because of his serious injuries and the lack of timely medical treatment, he became stupid.
However, after Lin Yi and Xiao Fuzi's examination, they confirmed that it was poisoning, and they did suspect that someone had deliberately murdered him.
But the Gu family has always been kind to others and has never made enemies. Logically, no one would have such strong hatred towards them.
Besides, it had been ten years since the incident, and the bandits had long since been wiped out by a passing general. There was no one to confront, no one to seek revenge on. That's why the matter was left unresolved.
But Gu Jiayue suddenly thought, what if it wasn't those bandits who hurt Gu Yuchuan?
Or to think more darkly, is there someone specifically directing this?
Gu Jiayue's throat went dry. "How old was he ten years ago? How could he have done such a terrible thing?"
Gu Yuchuan glanced at her, feeling somewhat reluctant, but he had to say, "You can't deny that there are inherently bad people in this world."
His sister seems smart most of the time, but she can be stupid sometimes, especially when it comes to children.
She believes that every child is a good child and can be saved regardless of their personality.
But he felt that human nature was bad, and some people were born bad. They knew how to do bad things from birth.
"Okay, don't worry about this. I'll take care of it myself." Gu Yuchuan couldn't bear to continue and had to change the subject. "By the time we get back, the land should have been cleared, right? Can we plant the mulberry and tea trees you mentioned?"
