Chapter 126: It's just copied

Tian Daniu shook the muscles in his arms, showing off his strength in a very arrogant manner.

Gu Ziyun's heart also started beating fast; he was really scared.

You don't know until you compare. Once you compare, you will find that the two people are at two extremes.

The young man in front of him was rough and strong, half a head taller than him, but his body was like a mountain, casting a shadow. Gu Ziyun was, after all, a young man with delicate skin and tender flesh. Even the six arts of a gentleman could not teach him to have such a body of tendons.

I'm so scared.

Gu Ziyun was timid, but he was the master after all, and he couldn't be frightened by a servant. So in the end, he could only muster up his courage and stammered angrily: "I, I am the second young master of the mansion, are you, are you blind?"

Second Young Master?

Tian Daniu scratched his head. Brother Lu seemed to have told him about the masters in the mansion. It seemed that there was a second young master, but he had never seen him. Who knew if it was the one in front of him?

Tian Daniu is still being stubborn.

"elder brother!"

Tian Erniu hurried over, grabbed Tian Daniu, and saluted hastily: "Brother Yun, calm down, we just got here and don't know the rules..."

Wow, finally someone sensible comes out.

Gu Ziyun straightened his back, and his timidity was thrown aside. He stared coldly at Tian Daniu and said through gritted teeth: "He is your brother? I think your brother deserves a beating..."

Before he could finish the rest of his words, Gu Zilu had already pushed the door open and walked out, saying unhappily, "What's the matter?"

"Old Five!"

Seeing Gu Zilu, Gu Ziyun threw all the big cows and two girls out of his mind. He rushed forward, grabbed Gu Zilu's sleeve, gritted his teeth and dragged him to the study: "I have something to ask you."

Seeing this, Tian Daniu wanted to step forward again. This guy called Yun Ge'er looked difficult to get along with. Lu Ge'er didn't have much strength, so he should not be bullied.

At this time, Gu Zilu gave Tian Daniu a peaceful look. Seeing this, Tian Daniu stepped back slightly and stood guard outside the study door.

Xiao Tao served the tea and walked out, standing at the door staring at Tian Daniu.

On the day Lu Ge'er came back, he also brought Tian Daniu's family with him. Xiao Tao took a private look at them one by one and felt that the family were all honest people, so she didn't say much. Moreover, Su Mama from the eldest lady's courtyard also came to see them in person. Su Mama didn't say anything, so it seemed that they must be a trustworthy family.

As for Tian Erniu, Xiao Tao initially thought that Lu Ge'er had taken a fancy to this girl, but after a few days passed and Lu Ge'er hadn't given any extra instructions, Xiao Tao began to think that he didn't like her, and might just be bringing people here to do work.

From then on, Xiaotao no longer paid much attention to it.

But today, Tian Daniu really impressed her.

Although he looks silly, he and Lu Ge'er have a very good understanding. Just now, one of them was as steady as a rock in the study, while the other one was outside deliberately confronting Gu Ziyun. It was satisfying to watch him.

Moreover, it was obvious that Tian Daniu really wanted to protect Lu Ge'er just now. It was not bad to have such a brave and loyal person guarding Lu Ge'er.

So Xiao Tao smiled at Tian Daniu, and Tian Daniu's face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

Wait, why is Xiaotao smiling at him, huh huh huh???

In the study.

As soon as the door was closed, Gu Ziyun's bad temper was revealed. He sat down on the chair angrily and said angrily: "Old Five, you are not deliberately playing a trick on me, are you? Ranked last? This is too bad a test!"

He is totally unworthy of his status as a talented man!

Gu Ziyun was angry, but Gu Zilu seemed not to hear him. He sat down calmly, picked up the teacup leisurely, blew it, lowered his head to take a sip, and then said calmly: "Second brother, I have said it before, no one knows the test questions. Even if I can write a hundred or ten thousand articles, I dare not guarantee that there will be one article that is exactly the topic."

This had indeed been said a long time ago, so Gu Ziyun immediately lost his temper. He had taken it for granted at the beginning. After all, he had always been praised too highly by others. Over time, he became arrogant and completely forgot what kind of person he really was.

Seeing that Gu Ziyun had regained his composure after just a few words, Gu Zilu continued to speak calmly, "And second brother was able to make the list thanks to my articles, wasn't it?"

"You!" Gu Ziyun's temper, which had just calmed down, suddenly flared up again: "What do you mean by thanks to your article? I wrote it myself!"

Gu Zilu smiled but said nothing. "You wrote it yourself? You put together some of his articles and put them together to make it look like you wrote it yourself?"

Haha, this explanation is quite novel. But, it’s useless. It’s just copied.

After the list of successful candidates in the imperial examination is posted, the essays of these successful candidates will also be taken out for people to see. However, the essay that everyone will pursue will definitely be the one that ranks first. Although the essay that ranks last will not be pursued by anyone, it does not mean that no one will read it.

Gu Zilu held the teacup, picked up the lid and gently scraped the wall of the cup, his drooping eyelids hiding his inner thoughts.

"Brother, don't you want to know why the emperor is holding an additional examination at this time? I think I may know the reason."

Gu Ziyun, who was originally angry, suddenly laughed.

All the tempers disappeared, replaced by an attentive, sunny face.

"Good brother, you are really my good brother, come on, tell the second brother!"

Looking at the eagerness on Gu Ziyun's face, Gu Zilu sneered inwardly, but said calmly, "Are you still angry with me, second brother?"

"Oh, no way. If it weren't for you, I might not even pass the imperial examination. Come on, tell me, what exactly is the emperor's intention?"

Angry? What's the point of being angry? If I can win the first place in the palace examination, what does everything now matter?

Gu Ziyun is now very excited. If he can catch the emperor's eye in the palace examination and become the destined great talent, wouldn't he be able to rise to prominence immediately?

"Brother Lu, speak quickly!"

Gu Zilu looked at the enthusiasm on Gu Ziyun's face with indifference. This feeling was really disgusting. When it was needed, he would smile like a flower, but when it was not needed, he would not even look at it.

But there's no future anyway, right?

Cheating in the palace examination is the most serious crime and will be punished most severely.

Second brother’s life is over.

Gu Zilu said calmly: "I heard that the emperor is troubled by a problem recently."

This kid actually knew?

Gu Ziyun was surprised and happy.

What surprised him was that Gu Zilu was smarter than he thought. What made him happy was that the last place in the provincial examination would soon become the first place in the palace examination. Haha, he was going to become the number one scholar and rise to the top!

The happier Gu Ziyun was, the more anxious he became. He even grabbed Gu Zilu's sleeve and asked anxiously, "What is it?"

The young man gently put down the teacup, leaned forward slightly, and his long hair draped over his shoulders slid down from his thin shoulders, spreading out in strands.

"In the Northwest War, is it war or peace?"
