After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

Gu Shisan was also very embarrassed. He had not yet made up his mind whether to join Gu Nanxi, but now he ran into her again.

"Congratulations to the two gentlemen and the young lady for passing the examination."

Gu Shisan bowed and felt his body, but found that he didn't have anything suitable as a gift. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.

"Thirteenth brother, there's no need to be so polite, we are all family. Please take a seat." Gu Nanxi thought, this was the adopted son of the original owner's father, and he couldn't really treat him as a subordinate.

Gu Shiba, who was standing behind Gu Shisan, breathed a sigh of relief and sat down carelessly: "Brother Shisan, I said that the young lady didn't treat us as outsiders, but you are always concerned about this and that."

Gu Shi glared at Gu Shiba in anger and sat down as well.

Both sides were racking their brains to find topics to talk about.

The last time we met, we talked about the story of Gu Zhanshen at the border and the Gu family army. We can't bring up the past again this time.

Finally, Gu Shisan asked cautiously, "Some time ago, Dalang and Erlang came to us and told us something, saying that they had your permission..."

Gu Nanxi raised an eyebrow: "What's the matter?"

Gu Shisan's heart skipped a beat and he glanced around. The room was full of servants and maids.

It’s not a good idea to talk about such an important matter in public, right?

Gu Shisan couldn't remember those flowery words, so he could only summarize them himself: "The general meaning is that time flies, so let's seize the time."

Gu Shisan also added: "Dalang Erlang said that you allow them to decide for themselves."

Gu Nanxi smiled, as kind as the Madonna: "Da Lang and Er Lang have grown up and are old enough to make decisions for themselves."

Gu Shisan's heart was like an earthquake, but his face showed no sign of fluctuation: "So that thing is true?"

Gu Nanxi glanced at him helplessly.

Su Xuanming and Su Yunting had already informed me that they were planning to hold a grand birthday party for me.

Now that Gu Shisan asked so casually, Gu Nanxi was really embarrassed to answer.

It’s the first time I celebrate my birthday and so many people care about me. In my previous life, I always celebrated my birthday alone.

Gu Nanxi nodded slightly at Gu Shisan.

Gu Shisan was shocked. He then stood up, saluted Gu Nanxi, said a few words, and turned away.

"Miss, I understand. Don't worry, we will definitely get things done properly!"

Looking at the fearless backs of Gu Shisan and the others, Gu Nanxi was speechless for a moment.

It's just a birthday, there's no need to be so serious...

In Baichuan Academy, Su Xuanming, Su Yunting, Song Zhizhou and others found a spacious and quiet place and gathered together.

Su Xuanming: "Yun Ting and I have contacted Gu Shisan, and he agreed to help us keep an eye on Yongchang Hou and look for evidence of his rebellion."

This was the first time that Chen Yixuan was on the brink of life and death. Even his breathing became rapid: "What should we do if we find evidence?"

Oh my God, this is a rebellion, not anything else. Would the Marquis of Yongchang kill people to silence them?

Su Yunting sneered: "Either get rid of the evidence or get rid of the culprit. We can't let him implicate our entire mansion alone."

Once the Marquis' Mansion falls, Baichuan Academy will also fall, and at that time all the students of Baichuan Academy will be affected!

"Brother, you must be prepared to take over the entire marquisate!" Su Yunyuanting looked at Su Xuanming. His own ambition was to conquer mountains, seas, lakes and rivers, and he absolutely could not be bound by a marquisate.

Su Xuanming nodded to show that he understood.

It was almost time for class, so Su Xuanming and others had to stop talking and go to the classroom.

But when I arrived at the classroom, I found that there were more than ten students missing in the originally full classroom.

"Where did they go?"

"They said their family was here to take their two-day leave."

After passing the provincial examination, the Baichuan Academy Imperial Examination Cramming Class no longer conducted closed-door training, but resumed normal school hours.

Su Xuanming thought that his classmates missed their families, so he took leave to stay at home and spend time with their families. He did not take the matter to heart. However, he did not know that many people were secretly trying to steal his girl.

In Gengjia Village, villagers who came to watch the fun gathered at the door of Aunt Geng's house, watching the village head lead a middle-aged man with a goatee into the house, seemingly saying something.

The village head came out and waved to the villagers: "Go away, go away, there is nothing exciting to see!"

After saying this, the headman walked back into the house and closed the door, blocking the villagers’ sight.

Inside the house, Aunt Geng had a stern face and was poking the sole of her shoe with an embroidery needle, as if the sole was someone's face.

Old man Geng also started smoking his pipe, and the choking smoke instantly filled the entire room.

The middle-aged man with a goatee was still chattering non-stop: "This academy exam is different from the provincial exam. The academy exam has two more subjects, one is mathematics, and the other is essays."

"Mathematics is easy to understand, as it requires talent. As for essays, it requires a process of accumulation."

The essays in the academy examination are actually modern official document writing. If one can make it to the palace examination, one may also be asked to draft an imperial edict.

The old man with a goatee stroked his beard, his expression full of determination: "Although Lord Cui is the leader in the literary world, he has not worked in the court for more than ten years. He is completely ignorant of the current court policies. He is completely different from us in the Imperial Academy, who pay attention to the court every year and accumulate official documents for students to read."

The Geng family kid, who had been keeping his head down and keeping silent, couldn't help but feel a little startled when he heard this.

The library of the academy contained many rare books, but indeed few government documents.

"Are you guys from Taixue only here to see me?"

This time, there was no need for the goatee to answer. The village head said, "Of course you are not the only one! You should be aware of this, kid. You come from a farming family, so your starting point is low. It's not easy to get such a good opportunity, you must seize it!"

"The Su family's Dalang, Erlang and his brothers have different backgrounds from you. They have a solid foundation! They don't care about the resources of the Imperial College, but you should care! This is a major event that concerns the entire family!"

The village head looked at Aunt Geng and Old Man Geng again and said, "You two should also pay more attention and not let your child act on impulse."

Aunt Geng forced a smile and said, "We know about Lei Zhen, but this is a serious matter, so we need to think about it carefully."

"Make a decision early and enter the Imperial College early. Maybe you can pass the exam and become a scholar!"

After the Geng family saw off the village head and the middle-aged man with a goatee, the whole family fell into silence.

Old man Geng was tapping his pipe, his expression unclear in the smoke, and his voice seemed to come from far away: "Silang, what do you think?"

The Geng family boy's eyes sparkled like stars in the dark room: "There was a question in the provincial examination, which asked about the virtue of nature. In the examination room, I answered it correctly. As a gentleman, one must be consistent in what one says and what one does."
