Today, the weather is sunny.

The college exam also started today, and Gu Xiuwen and Meng Chengzhang also participated. Before the college exam, they had already taken the county exam and the prefectural exam and became children. Now they are taking the college exam. If they perform well in this exam, they are likely to be selected as scholars. From then on he became a distinguished scholar.

Apart from them, Meng Chengxing was encouraged by Meng Jinyu and also participated in this college examination.

Meng Jinyao, the elder sister, became nervous. Of course, she was only nervous because of her second brother Meng Chengzhang. As for Meng Chengxing, whether he would be a scholar or not had nothing to do with her.

Ms. Zhang was also nervous about her younger son's exam. Last year, her eldest son won the imperial examination. Because he ranked low, there was no hope for this year's spring exam, so he did not participate in this year's spring exam. Seeing Mrs. Chen's son win the imperial examination this year, she felt envious. Yes, now her younger son is taking the college entrance examination, and she hopes that her younger son will be selected as a scholar, so that both sons will be successful and gain fame for her.

In addition, their eldest brother is the weakest among the three brothers in the Hou Mansion because the eldest brother has no future. When the mother-in-law separates the family a hundred years later, if the eldest brother cannot get her husband, he will have to rely on his two sons. Xuan Yi's two biological brothers are both If you are promising, future marriages will be much easier.

Mrs. Zhang had never been so nervous before when her eldest son took the college examination. Now that her younger son was taking part, she was extremely nervous. After all, she still had little confidence in her younger son's knowledge.

But after the tension, Mrs. Zhang later realized that she was strict with her eldest son, but seemed to neglect discipline and over-indulged her younger son, which resulted in her eldest son being self-disciplined and her younger son being lazy and only knowing how to play. Although he is now in Lingshan I have become more diligent in studying in college, but I don’t know if I can make up for my knowledge in the past year.

Mrs. Zhang sighed. Of her three children, only her eldest son had been well educated. Neither her younger son nor her daughter had been well educated. The daughter was so willful and ended up like this. The younger son entered Lingshan Academy because of his mother-in-law's suggestion and the help of his brother-in-law to help with the connections. Only then was he able to be reborn.

When she sighed, Meng Jinyao and Chen both looked at her.

Mrs. Chen asked: "Sister-in-law, why are you sighing?"

Ms. Zhang did not answer the question and directly bypassed the topic: "Nothing, the second brother and sister are looking for a good girl for Xiu Hong? Do you have any favorite candidates?"

It was better not to mention this matter. As soon as this matter was mentioned, Chen felt depressed and said helplessly: "I mentioned a few good girls to him. I thought about which one he would like more, so I went to tell the girl's parents. , arranged for him to have a look with the girl, but unexpectedly he told me not to rush, to wait a little longer. He didn't get the Jinshi before, but he said he had no intention of getting married and just wanted to study. I also followed him, and now he has won the Jinshi. What else does he want to wait for?"

Meng Jinyao asked curiously: "Second sister-in-law, could Xiu Hong be the one he's interested in?"

Mrs. Zhang also said: "Second brother and sister, maybe Xiuhong is really like what the third brother and sister said, and he has already fallen in love with someone."

Mrs. Chen said without thinking: "He usually only reads the books of sages and doesn't listen to what's going on outside the window. He doesn't see any girls he gets close to. It's impossible for him to have someone he likes. Besides, if he likes someone, he should talk to me." His father said that we, as parents, should wait for him to propose marriage, but he never mentioned it."

Meng Jinyao thought thoughtfully and said: "Second sister-in-law, don't worry. I think Xiuhong is ambitious. Maybe he hasn't been awarded an official position yet, so he has no intention of getting married for the time being. He won't get married until he gets an official position and truly embarks on an official career." idea."

Mrs. Zhang agreed: "The third younger brother and sister are right. Xiuhong always has ideas. The second younger brother and sister just wait and see."

Mrs. Chen sighed: "That's the only thing."

On the other side, Du Size had a bad time with his cousin a few days ago, so he went back and felt depressed for a few days. After some reflection, he finally decided to see what kind of person his cousin liked, Mr. Gu, and whether he was worthy of his stupidity. , entrusted to you for life.

Du Size took advantage of the time and waited outside the Yamen of Dali Temple, just to see if he could meet Gu Jingxi.

It's break time now, and officials are coming out of Dali Temple.

After a while, suddenly a young man dressed as a police officer, less than twenty years old, ran back to Dali Temple. When he arrived at the gate of Dali Temple, he shouted inside: "Master Temple Minister!"

Du Size was slightly stunned. Isn't Gu Jingxi the Minister of Dali Temple?

He looked up at the door of Dali Temple and saw two officials standing at the door. The one on the left looked ordinary. He looked to be in his fifties, not the right age. He was obviously not Gu Jingxi.

The other person, who looked upright and elegant, had a mustache and looked to be in his thirties, was scolding the policeman with a stern face, as if he was scolding the policeman for being reckless.

Seeing this, Du Size frowned. Hearing that Gu Jingxi was thirty years old, why was he so anxious?

If he stood with his cousin, they didn't look like a couple, but more like a father and daughter. What did his cousin see in Gu Jingxi?

Could it be because Uncle Meng didn't give his cousin father's love, and her cousin had lacked father's love since she was a child, so she felt the love and care from Gu Jingxi, and was so moved that she thought it was the love between a man and a woman?

Just as Du Size was thinking wildly, he saw a younger man appear behind the two officials. The man looked to be in his twenties, extremely handsome and had an extraordinary bearing. The other two officials and the policeman saluted the young man.

Du Size looked at the man and was slightly startled when he heard the two officials calling the man "Master Temple Minister". Did he just admit the wrong person? Is this Gu Jingxi now?

Soon, Du Size discovered the difference in official robes. The young man was wearing the official robe of a third-rank official, while the man in his thirties was wearing the official robe of a fifth-rank official. It was because of that sentence that he just The "Qing of Dali Temple" preconceived the idea and looked directly at the face, ignoring the rest.

After Gu Jingxi finished talking to the detective, he said goodbye to his two colleagues and went down the stairs. Suddenly he saw a young man who had not yet reached the crown walking towards him. He stopped and looked at the young man in front of him. He looked at each other, and after thinking for a moment, he guessed the other person's identity: "Are you the son of the Du family, my wife's cousin?"

Du Size's face showed surprise: "Master Gu, have you seen me?"

Gu Jingxi said calmly: "I've never seen it, I'm just guessing."

Du Size was stunned, but he had never met Gu Jingxi, and it was even less likely that Gu Jingxi had met him, so he asked, "Since Mr. Gu has never seen me, how could he guess my identity at just one glance?"

Gu Jingxi pursed his lips and smiled lightly: "Master Du, since I can be the minister of Dali Temple, I still have some eyesight. What do you want to say to me?"

Hearing this, Du Size's heart skipped a beat. He clearly hadn't said anything yet, so how could the other party know what he wanted to do?

Gu Jingxi added: "This is not the place to talk. Let's find a teahouse to sit down and talk."

Du Size said "Okay" in a dull voice, and then followed Gu Jingxi's pace. He was a little confused. How come he was led by Gu Jingxi after just a few words?
