"Murder to silence the witness?" Gu Nanxi never expected that the talents in the academy would be so all-encompassing!

Li Daniu was stunned, his eyes widened, and he felt ashamed: "I really was too soft-hearted. I just wanted to steal a test paper."

So this is the difference between me and General Gu’s daughter?

Suddenly, everyone fell silent.

After a long while, Chen Yixuan raised his hand tremblingly, his tone trembling, but he could not hide a trace of excitement: "I can go to Wu Shanchang's house! I often go to his house to give gifts, I know what his family is like with my eyes closed!"

Jiang Guanghai's eyes flickered, and he said lightly: "I can go to my father's study at night to see who is in charge of the assessment."

As for the censors, they are licensed gossipers who are better informed than any other officials.

Old man Cui was torn between his conscience and his desires. This was not something a gentleman should do, but there were things that should be done and things that should not be done. Perhaps, it was more important to rectify the Imperial College and clear up the government order for the Great Zhou Dynasty?

"Ahem, I can go visit the chief academic officer of the Imperial College." Old man Cui was too embarrassed to make his words more clearly.

When the young men saw this, their thoughts ran wild like wild horses and they came up with many dirty tricks.

"We can use the beauty trap! Principal Wu's little daughter has feelings for you, so why not..."

Su Xuanming shook his head frantically: "Don't drag innocent people into this."

"Okay. My father is not giving up and still wants me to enter Songshan Academy. Recently, he has been trying to get help from Principal Wu. I can pretend to regret it and go with him!"

Jiang Guanghai: "My father's work and rest schedule is very regular. You have to find a way to hold my father back and buy me some time."

"Don't worry! Leave it to the brothers!"

Everyone spoke one after another, and finally all looked at Gu Nanxi.

Gu Nanxi hesitated and said, "Then I will go and ask His Majesty if he can set a date for the examination and who will be the examiner?"

Su Yunting's eyes showed distress: "Mother, you have worked hard. Yunyan, please ask the kitchen to make a bowl of angelica and black chicken soup later."

Ok?

Gu Nanxi felt sorry for her taste buds and added, "Put less angelica, it's bitter."

Su Yunyan immediately left Old Man Cui behind and hurried to the kitchenette.

After a while, Su Yunting saw Gu Nanxi leaning against the veranda and said hesitantly, "Mother, why don't you go to the palace?"

"Ah? I have already sent a servant to deliver the letter to the palace, so I don't have to make this trip again."

Su Yunting realized that his mother had already been to the palace once last night and received a lot of rewards. Even if she was a donkey pulling a millstone, it was time for her to take a rest.

Before lunch, the servant brought the emperor's reply: "Your Majesty allows Madam to spend New Year's Day in peace. The time of the examination has not been determined, and the examiner has not been determined."

Once these words were spoken, it was like a needle popping a balloon.

"Let's go, let's go. See you next year!"

The young men walked home leisurely, making an appointment to go out and play together on the streets after celebrating New Year's Eve.

Old man Cui ran outside the small kitchen to wait for Su Yunyan. They had not yet finished discussing Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, so let’s continue!

Li Daniu didn't dare to run around in front of Gu Nanxi, and fled back to his own courtyard.

Xiao Hei, who had just woken up at this time, thought that everyone had finished class. He rubbed his eyes and thought that his master should have taken action.

As time passed, the Yongchang Marquis Mansion welcomed New Year's Eve in a festive atmosphere.

That night, there was still no male host in the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, but there were Old Man Cui, Li Daniu and Xiao Hei.

Several people sat together around the fire all night long.

The midnight snack fruit was not bought from outside, but was made by Old Man Cui and Su Yunyan themselves.

Therefore, Old Man Cui ate the food with extra relish.

As usual, His Majesty awarded gold and silver banners, and the regulations were the same as in previous years, nothing special.

The old lady was disappointed by this. When it was just dawn, she returned to the yard with the help of Aunt Duan.

"Xuanming, Yunting, go make a fire, and remember to put up the door gods." Gu Nanxi reminded.

This year has been a year of misfortunes. Either Su Xuanming has had an affair, or he has attracted villains. He needs to build more fires and hope that everything will go well in the coming year.

Su Xuanming saw that his second brother Su Yunting was drowsy and couldn't bear to wake him up, so he went alone: ​​"Mother, my second brother is not in good health, let him rest for a while, I will go by myself."

Su Xuanming picked up the bamboo pole that was making a rustling sound and started beating the person who was sparking sporadically.

It is said to be a fire, but in fact it is a pile of ashes.

The bamboo pole fell heavily, and the gray impurities flew into the air as if they had wings.

Under the mechanized movements, Su Xuanming's thoughts drifted away.

Yizu's disappointed eyes and his rebuke of a failed student reappeared in his mind again and again.

Su Xuanming's eyelids drooped. He had studied hard all night, but the words in the book were like naughty goblins and just refused to enter his mind.

My second brother can remember something after reading it once, but I can’t memorize it even after reading it ten times.

How can I set a good example for my younger brothers and sisters?

"Da Lang! Da Lang! The fire is ready!" the servant reminded in a low voice.

Su Xuanming finally came back to his senses, staring at the door for a moment, and said softly, "You go back and rest, don't worry about me."

When there was no one around, he took out a ghost mask from his waist, slipped out of the mansion through the back door, and when he was far away from the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, he sang loudly: "Selling dementia, selling dementia! Is there anyone who wants to buy dementia?"

A seven-foot-tall man was hawking idiot goods on the street, attracting everyone's pointing and talking.

"I've only seen children selling idiots, but I've never seen a young man this big hawking his wares on the street."

"Look at his figure, he is so handsome and charming. Is there something wrong with his brain?"

"Hey, little idiot, if you take off your mask, I will buy your dementia." A busybody wanted to lift Su Xuanming's mask, but was dodged.

Su Xuanming ignored him and continued to sell his products sincerely.

According to the custom of the Zhou Dynasty, on New Year's Eve, children would sell their stupidity, meaning to send away their stupidity and stupidity.

Generally, adults will gladly accept and buy a gift, hoping that their children will be smart and understand more about the world in the future.

However, these are done by children aged four or five. If they are over six years old, they would be embarrassed to go out on the streets to sell.

Su Xuanming ran through the streets and alleys, praying in his heart, "Please come and buy my dementia."

However, the crowds were shoulder to shoulder, the neighbors were laughing and teasing each other, and the looks they cast at Su Xuanming were curious and playful, but no one was willing to buy his stupidity.

Su Xuanming's footsteps became heavier and heavier, and his eyes were full of disappointment.

Gu Nanxi, who had been following behind him, sighed slightly and called out to Su Xuanming, "The gentleman in front, please stop. I want to buy your dementia."

Su Xuanming paused and didn't dare to turn around.

Gu Nanxi walked around to his front, counted out six copper coins, put them in Su Xuanming's hand, lowered her head, and her eyes were full of tenderness.

"I wish that all your wishes come true. As for my son... I only hope that he will be ignorant and rude, and will become an official without any disaster or trouble."

Su Xuanming tightly grasped the copper coin in his hand, his throat choked with sobs, and he could only silently wish in his heart: "Let us wish together outside the willows and in front of the flowers, that your youthful appearance will always remain as you age."
