Chapter 116 Case No. 1
Chapter 116 Case No. 1
After saying that, Gu Suiyu got up and went out. She was going to continue working on her career.
Gu Zilu looked at his brother and sister and felt that everyone was wasting their time. This matter was too difficult and they had to think about it carefully.
The boy sighed, resigned himself to his fate and sat down to continue reading.
He still needs to find some time to ask his mother about this matter.
However, before that, the county examination arrived.
The county examination is also called the county exam. The examination notice has been posted in the yamen. The servant copied the notice and came back to tell Gu Zilu. The rest of them waited until the time came and went to take the exam directly.
One could take part in the provincial examination only after passing the county examination, prefectural examination and academy examination. Therefore, the county examination was not a big exam and naturally was not taken seriously. Teachers and instructors were invigilators. On the day of the examination, Gu Zilu went straight to the examination room with examination supplies such as the four treasures of the study and food.
Su Jin asked him to take a car, but Gu Zilu chose to walk slowly. After all, it was not far and it would also help him clear his head.
After Sou Zi searched his body, Gu Zilu took the test paper and started the test.
There are five exams in total. Except for the last two which are consecutive exams, you can rest for the rest.
After taking his last exam, Gu Zilu walked out of the examination room with full confidence.
Gu Zilu didn't take this small test seriously.
Soon, the results of the county exam came out. Cao Wei, the prefect of Shunjing Prefecture, was the first to see the report card. The first place had three words written on it:
Gu Zilu.
"hiss!"
Cao Wei was shocked.
Although the county examination is not important, not everyone can get the first place. Even Gu Ziyun, the brother of Yong'an Marquis's Mansion who has always been good at learning, has never been the first in the exam. But this young Gu Zilu got the first place right from the start.
I heard that this child performed very well in the exam and was even the first one to hand in his paper. That can only mean that this child is indeed smart.
Cao Wei stared at Gu Zilu's name, intending to observe him for a while longer. Now he was only the top candidate in the county exam, and there were still the prefectural exam and the imperial exam to go. Even if he passed all three, there would still be the provincial exam, the metropolitan exam, and the palace exam in the future. This road was still long.
Soon, the servant of Yong'an Marquis Mansion returned excitedly to report.
"Congratulations, Madam. Congratulations, Madam. Brother Lu has won the first place!"
The first place in the case is the first one. Gu Zilu got the first place in the county examination!
Everyone in the room was very happy. No matter how big or small the test was, the first thing was that it was amazing.
Su Jin smiled and praised the servant who brought the report, then turned around and asked someone to send some ice to Gu Zilu's room so that he could study more attentively.
"Six Yuan Jidi."
Su Jin recalled the young man kneeling on the ground and speaking to her with great confidence.
[My son will study hard from now on, and will definitely win the sixth place in the imperial examination, and personally strive for a first-class imperial edict for his mother.]
"Madam, our Brother Lu is really amazing!"
"Yes, yes, now he is the first in the county, tomorrow he will be the first in the prefecture, and then he will be the first in the provincial examination, the first in the imperial examination, and the first in the imperial examination!"
Yuchuan became more and more excited as she spoke, as if Gu Zilu had already passed the imperial examination and was extremely happy.
Jin Chuan was also chattering away, and they were all happy for Lu Ge'er.
"That's great. I hope Brother Lu works hard and takes part in the provincial examination next April. The academy examination will be held in August next year..."
The two maids counted the time on their fingers and found that if Lu Ge'er wanted to get the top six places in the imperial examination, it would take at least three years.
"Oh, it's so long."
"Not long. Our Brother Lu is young. He is only thirteen now. He will be sixteen by then. He will be the same age as Brother Xuan and Brother Yun!"
Yuchuan thought about it carefully and became happy again: "Yeah, that's right, not long!"
As a result, both of them forgot that there were more examinations this year, so you have to wait until next year when Gu Zixuan will be 17 years old.
The two maids were happier than she was about to win the case, and they had smiles on their faces the whole day.
Su Jin originally wanted to invite Mr. Zhuzhi to dinner in the evening, but was declined.
Mr. Zhuzhi smiled and said, "Teaching and educating people is my pleasure. I am satisfied when I see talented young people excel and reach the top after my training. The rest is nothing but clouds."
I can only say that Mr. Zhuzhi is truly a pure person.
Everyone has a purpose for doing things, and his purpose is simply to teach and educate people.
People like this can be great sometimes.
"Mr. Dayi."
Su Jin praised him repeatedly and gave Mr. Zhuzhi a portion of the brown sugar jelly that An Xiaoniang had just made as a dessert after the meal.
As for those who do more, one point can be consumed by three children.
I have been eating delicious food in Liutingge in recent days.
This is thanks to the two kilograms of white jelly that the heroine Ning Ruolan brought, and An Xiaoniang also strictly followed Su Jin's instructions, trying her best to use her intelligence and talents to the maximum, and made a lot of delicious food with white jelly in one go.
Make the jelly with tea, pour brown sugar juice, red bean paste, and add milk, and it will be a delicious dessert.
Sour plum water is made into a jelly together with dried spring plums, and then added with honey when eating. It tastes sour and sweet, and is really sour and refreshing.
An Xiaoniang even made fermented rice wine jelly. I can only say that people’s divergent thinking is really amazing.
Therefore, the after-meal desserts in Liuting Pavilion have been very rich these days, and everyone enjoys them very much.
As for the fact that Gu Zilu ranked first in the county exam, Gu Changqing did not react at all.
Being the first in a county is nothing.
The Great Zhou has such a vast territory, and each state has countless counties under its jurisdiction. Therefore, the difference between a county's top scorer and the country's only top scholar is huge.
So Gu Changqing had no reaction after hearing this. In addition, Lin Wanhui had been pestering him recently, so after hearing this, Gu Changqing was taken to Luoxuexuan by Lin Wanhui's people. The servant who reported the news didn't even get a reward, let alone a smile.
The servant snorted, "The lady at least gave the reward money, but here is nothing for the master. Isn't the first place in the county the first place in the case?"
The servant couldn't understand Gu Changqing's thoughts. After all, for a lowly person like him, being the first in the case was already a great honor.
"Master, Brother Lu got first place in the exam."
Lin Wanhui massaged Gu Changqing's shoulders while asking tentatively.
Gu Changqing didn't even raise his eyelids, and said lightly: "It doesn't matter. Yun Ge'er's exam is more important. The emperor has added an autumn exam this year. There must be a reason. If we can figure it out, maybe we can get a good result in the palace exam..."
These words were also discussed privately by the court officials.
Those old ministers who have served two generations of emperors are all experienced. The emperor is used to saying polite words, and what they have to do is to see the essence through the surface and see the emperor's true intentions.
However, no one can figure out the real intention. Could it be that the question this time is about filial piety? ?
After all, the person the emperor dreamed of was his ancestor Emperor Gao...
Gu Changqing frowned and thought carefully.
After hearing this, Lin Wanhui finally felt relieved.
A mere first place in a county exam is of no use. My sister must be very sad now. She brought a great teacher from her hometown in Hexi to teach her son, and his son finally got the first place. However, the master didn't take it seriously at all.
Lin Wanhui raised the corners of her mouth, it was such a pity that her sister’s good intentions were wasted.
