842 You’ll know when you meet
The rain continued to fall until the middle of March.
Grandpa Gu had been worried about Gu shouxin every day for the past few days. When he had nothing to do, he would say to grandma Gu and uncle Gu, ” “It’s raining so heavily, I wonder if the examination room second brother was assigned to has a leak?”
I heard that the rain will affect the mood of the examinees. I wonder if second brother will be affected? ”
“Second has already gotten first place four times in a row. I wonder if he can get first place in the village examination and obtain the top scorer?”
“Lan lan, boss, I usually don’t give second brother any pressure, right?”
Finally, on the night of March 15th, Gu shouxin and Cai Xiaolian came back.
Grandpa Gu looked at Gu shouxin expectantly, like a child asking for candy from an adult.
Gu shouxin replied,”father, I didn’t wait for the results to come out.” There are still two days before the results are out. Don’t worry, your son will definitely bring you a high scholar back. Dad, you can buy as much land as you want. No matter how much you buy, our family doesn’t have to pay taxes.”
Grandpa Gu gave him a Pat and said, ” “I let you take the exam so that your family can be exempted from tax?”
Gu shouxin looked at Grandpa Gu with a smile.
Grandpa Gu asked again,”what about ah Zhen and little rat?” How did the two of them do?”
Gu shouxin: ” brother-in-law thinks he’s okay. As for that Huo kid, father, you know that kid. He doesn’t care about anyone else except me.
“Jun Hao is waiting for Yanyu in the prefecture,” Cai Xiaolian interjected.”He’ll come over after he sees the results.” The siblings will be going to the capital in a few days.”
“That’s right, Shangjing.” Grandpa Gu suddenly understood. Second brother, you should also think about the next arrangements. Has the date for this year’s general examination been set? is it in August or September?”
Gu shouxin said,’young Huo said that there’s news from old master Huo. The Emperor plans to hold the court examination at the end of the month on the first day of September.’ At the beginning of October, the people of the Xing Nan Kingdom came to visit, and his Majesty wanted to let the people of the Xing Nan Kingdom see our Zhou Dynasty’s top scholar parade through the streets.”
Grandfather Gu’s mouth twitched. The emperor’s exaggerated act of pretending to be an ordinary person appeared in his mind.
Speaking of which, this Emperor was his nephew, blood related. Their ye family had really picked out a unique Emperor from thousands of people!
……
That night, Gu Nian shared her thoughts with Gu shouxin and Cai Xiaolian.
Gu shouxin looked at his daughter’s first awakening of love and did not say anything to hurt her. He only said, ” “Niannian, if li Muyan does something wrong to you one day and father wants to deal with him, don’t stop father.”
“Father, if he does anything wrong to me, I won’t let him off either.” Gu Nian smiled. Father, don’t worry!”
Seeing how happy Gu Nian was, Cai Xiaolian smiled. “Have you confirmed your feelings this time? It won’t be like the time when you liked general Yan Mo?”
Gu Nian thought of Yan Mo and felt that it had happened a long time ago. Embarrassed, she said, ” “At that time, I just thought that he was quite manly, strong, and good-looking. He was the type that I liked. If he already has someone he likes, I won’t go and poach him! This was not right. Now that she thought about it, it was pure love. It was different from the feeling she had for li Muyan. The feeling of being moved is also different.”
Gu Xin blinked her eyes and asked curiously,’sister, do you understand the feeling of falling in love now? Tell me about it! I’ll be a joke if I don’t know about it when I encounter it in the future.”
Gu Nian thought about it for a moment and decided not to tell Gu Xin that she liked him like she did in the past. After a while, she finally said, ” I can’t tell you how I feel. Anyway, you’ll know when you meet her. Well, she’s a good person. She’s the right person and the one who’s willing to marry.
