Reborn and married to a stupid scholar, she has a prosperous husband and multiple children

Gu Xinghua knew that her mother was worried about her and didn't want to spend her money, but she also wanted to show her filial piety like her second sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law.

"Mom, I didn't spend money recklessly. It wasn't easy for you to give birth to me and raise me. I used to live in poverty and couldn't show filial piety even if I wanted to. Now that I have money, how can I not show filial piety to you?"

"I also bought Dad a set of silk clothes. Dad and Mom have worked hard all their lives and have never worn anything nice. This is what you deserve."

"You have accepted the gold bracelets from my second sister-in-law and my younger sister-in-law, so you must accept my hairpin as well."

Lin Shuangshuang and Wang knew that Gu Xinghua had really made money recently and was not just pretending to be rich, so they advised Yang to accept the money and not let their daughter's filial piety go to waste.

Yang accepted the hairpin with great emotion, feeling indescribably satisfied. The only flaw was...

Forget it, don’t think about it, just pretend that there is no such unfilial son.

For the sake of a woman, he abandoned his wife and children, and even his own parents.

After Yang accepted the hairpin, Gu Xinghua said, "Brother is still in the kitchen making fire. I'll go call him over."

"Go."

Gu Xinghua was also a thoughtful person. When she gave the hairpin to Yang, she specifically included Gu Jinzhong in the list.

I'm just afraid that it would be awkward and embarrassing with my elder brother around.

She knew that her eldest brother was the most filial. In the past, all the dirty and tiring work at home was done by her eldest brother. He was always hardworking and never complained.

But the eldest brother was unlucky. After he broke his leg, Mrs. Liu was confused and he had to live a hard life raising three children alone.

If she gave her mother a gold hairpin in front of her eldest brother, but her eldest brother couldn't afford to give her anything else, he would definitely blame himself and feel embarrassed.

But in fact, when Gu Xinghua came in with the gift box and deliberately sent him away, he knew in his heart that his sister was protecting his pitiful self-esteem.

Otherwise, his sister would never let him go to the kitchen to light the fire when he had difficulty walking.

Gu Jinzhong pinched his numb right leg hard, secretly hating himself for being useless.

He really couldn't afford to give his mother gold jewelry, or any other valuable items to show his filial piety to his parents.

All he could do was pretend he knew nothing so as not to embarrass everyone.

After all, everyone is trying to protect him and avoid embarrassing him, so he can't be ungrateful.

The ice and snow melted, all things revived, the New Year passed in a blink of an eye, and the hillsides were already covered with green buds.

Li Bingwen sent someone to deliver a letter. Based on the list provided by the five bandits and the locations of those people's destinations, he dispatched soldiers to guard the small roads in each village and catch all the bandits who were preparing to return after wintering.

After capturing more than a hundred main forces of Black Wind Village, Li Bingwen and the troops of the provincial government jointly encircled and wiped out the entire Black Wind Village.

Now the villagers of Hegou Village were finally relieved and no longer worried about the bandits’ revenge.

As everyone started the spring ploughing, the eight scholars in the top scholar training class also welcomed the imperial examination they had been preparing for for a long time.

Lin Shuangshuang went to ask Zhao Mu, wanting to know the situation of the eight of them and how high their chances of making the list were.

Zhao Mu said modestly: "At least half of them can be on the list."

Lin Shuangshuang nodded: "Okay, a 50% chance of making the list is already very high."

Having lived two lives in ancient times, she clearly knows that the ancient imperial examinations were no easier than the modern college entrance examinations.

There are millions of candidates taking the college entrance examination every year. Although there are not that many candidates for the imperial examination, the number of candidates who make the list is still one in a thousand.

For four of the eight of them to make the list is something that other academies would never dare to think about.

"Do Cheng Xi and Zhao Changsheng have a chance to pass the imperial examination?"

Zhao Mu nodded: "These two people have good qualifications. If nothing unexpected happens, they can both make the list."

Lin Shuang's eyes lit up. Those were two scholars and two juren. Wow, it seemed like Qinghe Academy was going to be a hit soon.

In the blink of an eye, it was the eve of the exam, and all the villagers of Hegou Village gathered at the entrance of the village to see the six people off.

Because Cheng Xi and Zhao Changsheng were already scholars, they did not need to take part in the college entrance examination.

So the two of them would stay in the village to continue their studies, and then wait until autumn to take part in the provincial examination.

Those who pass the college examination this time are also eligible to take part in this year's provincial examination. Those who fail can only wait another three years.

Song Youwei and the other six people were deeply moved when they looked at these villagers who were not their relatives. They were not their relatives but were better than family members.

The six people knew in their hearts that this scientific expedition was not only for themselves and their families, but also for the villagers who gave them great help.

The greatest reward they can give to these villagers is to get good grades and be recognized by everyone.

After three days of examinations, the six returned to the village in high spirits, as if they were full of confidence in their test results.

I don’t know if it’s because the questions the teacher usually gives are too difficult, or if the questions given by the examiner this time were not up to standard, but they actually thought the questions were quite simple.

Half of them were within the test scope guessed by the teacher, and they were questions for them to apply what they had learned to other situations and practice repeatedly.

Zhao Mu knew that they had done well in the exam when he saw how excited and energetic they were.

But he still asked everyone to write down their answers. Only after he read their answers could he have a clear idea of ​​the answer.

Although they were already very tired after three days of consecutive exams, the six people had no complaints about Zhao Mu's requests and hurriedly wrote down the answers.

They wanted Zhao Mu's affirmation more than anyone else, and wanted to predict in advance whether they could make the list.

It only took the three of them half a day to write down all their answers.

After all, these were questions that I had written once before, so I didn’t have to review them again or write a draft and then copy it, so it was very quick to write.

Zhao Mu read the answer sheets of the six people one by one, and was only a little dissatisfied with the answer sheet of the beggar scholar.

He was not sure whether one of the other five would be the top scorer, but he was sure that these five would be on the list without any unexpected events, even if he was the last one.

Song Youwei looked at Zhao Mu staring at his answer sheet and frowning, and he became more and more nervous.

"Teacher, am I going to fail?"

"It's my fault for not trying hard enough. I am destined to disappoint Madam Lin and the villagers."

Zhao Mu patted his shoulder comfortingly: "It's okay, keep working hard, there will be another chance in three years."

"Besides, your foundation is weak to begin with, and it's already very good that you can write such an answer."

"Besides, there's no guarantee that I'll fail the exam. Let's wait for the news."

A month passed in a flash. Amid the tension and anticipation of all the villagers in Hegou Village, not only were the paper mill and printing factory built, but the results of the college entrance examination also came out.

On this day, some villagers were waiting at the village entrance early in the morning, and soon they saw the official who came to announce the results.

I saw a line of officials, with gongs clearing the way and dressed in red and green, looking very impressive.

"Here it comes, the announcement of the results is here."

"Yes, yes, our village has a scholar too."

"Hurry up, lead the way for the officer."

The villagers were so excited and happy that those who didn't know would have thought they had passed the exam.
