No wonder Gu Wenyu asked such a question. One of the two uncles had been in the upper room and the other in the east wing. Not long after, they happened to arrive together.
He even regretted that he shouldn't have transferred to Jingshan Academy to study before, and now he couldn't fit in with their uncle.
As a cousin who is about the same age as Rokuro, he has this opportunity, even though Rokuro is often away from the county school, and there is Oe at the county school.
Unlike Uncle Changping, Dajiang had no hope for the provincial examination. He was still willing to accept his father's inheritance and become a teacher in the village school. Dajiang was determined to pass the examination.
Even if Dajiang is not ready to take the provincial examination next August, if he wants to settle down, Dajiang will definitely rush for the next provincial examination.
What's more, since he has never been pushed to seventh place in the county school monthly exam, Ojiang himself is still very strong, and having more exchanges and discussions with him is also an improvement.
Gu Wenxuan didn't know what Gu Wenyu was thinking at this time, otherwise he would have to say that Gu Wenyu was overthinking.
More exchanges and discussions?
Dajiang was extremely busy.
On weekdays, there are not only homework assignments from teachers in the county school, but also homework from the teacher, as well as those compiled by him, and occasionally there are exam questions sent by Uncle Cheng.
This child was able to withstand pressure and had the tenacity to study hard, so he dived into school.
The schedule is full. I am either reading books, answering questions, or looking for answers from my master. I even use the daily recess and meal time, so how can I have any free time.
After meal.
Several people met in the study room in the front yard for a quarter of an hour and went out to the county school together.
After Gu Wenyu and Zhou Changping father and son left to go back to the cross-yard, Dajiang also went back to the east wing to get the test basket, and Gu Wenxuan didn't waste any time.
Although there will be guests arriving this afternoon, the instructions that should be given were given last night, and Gu Dahua's ability to do things is still acceptable.
What's more, there is Jiaxing to help, so there is no need to worry about the manor. The manpower on both sides will make arrangements to welcome the guests, but here in Dajiang?
After a moment's hesitation, Gu Wenxuan decided not to point it out.
Even if Dajiang could catch up after leaving the examination room this evening and was lucky enough to meet the little girl in advance, it would still be too hasty.
Taking advantage of the fact that Da Jiang was not at home, Gu Wenxuan reminded Zhi Ming to remember to pay attention to who else was accompanying him today besides Dr. Lin and his wife.
It was really hard to predict this matter. Before yesterday, only the medical woman Dr. Lin, Po Chen Wenpo and the daughter of the Qi family had arrived. But by noon yesterday, the news was different.
Not only these three have arrived, but Dr. Lin's husband and daughter are also accompanying the team. God knows if there are any other young masters from Qi Mansion who rushed to meet at the inn last night.
After all, the eldest brother-in-law and the second brother-in-law are going to return to Zhoujia Village to worship their ancestors after taking their exams at the Imperial College and the Academy. But it is hard to say for the third brother-in-law.
This casual person just happened to use the excuse that he was alone in Zhoujia Village, so he might have come back first with a young man of similar age from Qi Mansion.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t pay attention. The wife needs to know that even her third brother, who is the same age and different months, is here, and he still hides it. Is it okay, or is it a white lie?
Did they come together? The answer soon became known. On the way to the front yard with Da Jiang, Gu Wenxuan saw Gu Dahua coming to him in a hurry.
"Young Master, Dali has sent more than 100 horses to report back to the third young master of the (Zhou Mansion) and the third young master of the Qi Mansion. They arrived at the inn before dark yesterday.
After the two sides met, according to the distance estimated by Dali, they would arrive before the city gate closed today, and I was still in the front yard at this moment. ”
really! Just as he expected!
"The third young master has something to say first. Let Dali not let you know that he is coming. He is not planning to stay in the city and wants to meet the master and his wife as soon as possible."
Ojiang couldn't help shaking his head in laughter, "How anxious is the third brother to see the third sister? It might as well go back to the village directly. If you want to stay in the city, you won't be able to return to the village until tomorrow at least."
"Let him do whatever he wants." Gu Wenxuan said it all. Even when he responded to Da Jiang, he reminded Gu Dahua, "Just wait until you meet the person and listen to their arrangements."
Gu Dahua hurriedly answered yes. Seeing that he was about to reach the outer courtyard, he hurriedly reported that the old cow that had unfortunately died in Dahuai Village had been taken care of.
Moreover, I had already sent him to Yuyuan (manor) before dawn this morning. I happened to meet the eldest young master, and he also brought word that the second young mistress had known that guests were coming.
"...The master also asked you to relax and just take the exam last year. He and his wife are at home. Apart from these two things, other things have been arranged according to your instructions."
Gu Wenxuan nodded to show his understanding, and after Gu Youyu had rested and went back to the manor to see the master, he and Zhou Yujiang went to the study room in the outer courtyard first.
As long as his father sees Gu Youyu, there is no need to convey anything. His parents will understand exactly who is coming and what arrangements need to be adjusted.
This was all a trivial matter, not to mention whether his wife would be restless and Chang Qing and his wife would help, but Dajiang didn't know the deeper meaning.
Take a look.
Isn’t this the same thing? Why don’t everyone get to this point sooner or later?
"You two should hurry up."
"No rush." Dajiang put away his messy thoughts and joked about Gu Wenyu, "Which dear friend repeatedly mentioned last night that it was only less than a hundred steps away?"
"I suddenly remembered that it's better to rush in sooner than later." Gu Wenyu also joked, "Why, I changed my mind after one night, no?"
Zhou Changping saw that the two of them were talking nonsense, but they didn't stop. He turned around and patted his son Li Ge'er on the shoulder, asking him to stay.
Even if you don't want to go home first, it's better to stay here and read. Except for the candidates taking the annual exam at the county school today, his brother Li will definitely not be able to enter.
Especially when you are out in the cold, it is better to wait here for him to come back from the first test of the day after finishing the exam in the evening. If you don't want to read, you might as well take the book boy for a walk on the street.
"It's okay, it's very close."
This child, it’s not because of the proximity, “You don’t want to go out on the street to buy some souvenirs for your grandparents, your grandparents, and your mother, and waste them worrying about you day and night.”
Brother Li: "...".
This father was always jealous of him yesterday. He said he would go home first and stay with him for a night before going home. But now he is not happy to have him follow.
The Gu family's residence is indeed not far from the county school. It only takes a tea time to walk normally. There is no need to travel by carriage. Zhou Yuli can leave and set off.
Because the current academic administrator has also sent subordinate clerks to various prefectures and counties to supervise the exams, the exam start time is not like the scientific exam, and they have to wait outside the exam booth before dawn.
The gate of the county school is still the same as in the past. No one is staying here and making noise. Even if someone comes by carriage occasionally, they get off diagonally opposite from a distance.
On the way to the county school, the group also met classmates Sanwu who also didn't like riding in horse-drawn carriages.
As Gu Wenxuan, the popular one who has dominated the county school rankings for several months, soon he was surrounded by his classmates. (End of chapter)
