Gu Rin's farming life

April eighteenth, the day of the imperial examination.

Before dawn, Gu Lin woke up. She wanted to get up and call Gu Xian, but she was worried that calling Gu Xian up too early would disturb him, so she tossed and turned on the bed very tangled.

His majesty the cat nestled on the other side, was awakened by Gu Lin's movement, raised his eyelids and looked at Gu Lin with contempt, curled up and fell asleep again.

Wen Yan was also woken up. He glanced at the sky and saw that it was still dark outside. He yawned and asked disgustedly, "Why don't you sleep?"

"I'm nervous." Gu Lin couldn't understand why he was so nervous, after all, it wasn't his exam, so it was useless for him to be anxious.

Although intellectually he knew that he had nothing to be nervous about, but he just couldn't control himself, he was very nervous early in the morning, and a little bit excited.

The complicated mood made him wake up early.

Wen Yan was not as nervous as he was. After all, Gu Xian had always been a very powerful existence in his heart. With such a good score in the general examination, he must have easily won the imperial examination, so he was not worried at all.

But he still relieved, "There is nothing to worry about. With the talent and learning of my eldest brother, he will definitely be named on the gold list."

Gu Lin didn't know this, but he just couldn't help worrying, and he didn't know what he was worrying about.

Seeing that he was still nervous, Wen Yan said, "If you can't sleep, just get up and cook."

Gu Lin shook his head, "No, I'm not good at cooking, what if my elder brother gets sick after eating?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he should not cook and buy something later.

But after thinking about it, I don't know if the things outside are clean. If there are problems, it will be even worse.

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, Gu Lin's entire face wrinkled.

Wen Yan was really speechless about his worries, but he could understand Gu Lin's mood, so he thought for a while and said, "Get up with me, and I'll cook."

Hearing that Wen Yan was going to get up to cook, Gu Lin's eyes lit up, and she quickly jumped out of bed, and I started dressing while standing beside the bed.

When Wen Yan started to do it, he sat on the bed and looked at him. Gu Lin was bending over to put on his trousers, his back bent into a beautiful arc, Wen Yan couldn't help but look at him carefully.

Over the past year, Gu Lin's figure has changed a lot. She used to be thin like a bamboo pole, but now she has a thin layer of muscles, which looks thicker and straighter.

Wen Yan also learned a lot during his stay in the capital, and he also learned a lot about that aspect. Although he liked Gu Lin very much, he didn't have any charming thoughts about Gu Lin, but recently, He looked at Gu Lin's body, always thinking about it.

Those messy thoughts made him blush in retrospect.

Gu Lin didn't understand the changes in Wen Yan's mentality, nor did he notice that at Wen Yan's age, it should be when he was about to grow up, and he was often naked in front of Wen Yan without knowing it.

It doesn't matter what Wen Yan thinks.

Wen Yan feels tormented every time he looks at it.

In fact, Gu Lin didn't have that kind of thought about Wen Yan, but he still thought that Wen Yan was a minor, just a child, so every time he had an idea, he felt very guilty in his heart, always Run away, hide and solve it by yourself.

So Gu Lin put on clothes in front of Wen Yan naturally, and Wen Yan blushed when he saw it.

After getting dressed, Gu Lin realized that Wen Yan's face was flushed red. He stretched out his hand and touched Wen Yan's forehead, wondering, "It's not hot, so why is your face so red?"

"It's nothing." Wen Yan was a little embarrassed, turned his head and said sullenly.

"Then hurry up and pack up, let's cook together." Feeling that the temperature on his forehead was normal, he didn't care, retracted his hand, turned and walked outside.

Wen Yan looked at his back, and didn't get up to get dressed until he had already left the room.

His Majesty the Cat knew exactly what was going on in his heart, but it wouldn't expose him, nor would it tell Gu Lin, it just read Wen Yan clearly, and then went back to sleep.

Wen Yan got dressed and walked to the kitchen, only to find that Gu Lin had washed up and was preparing breakfast ingredients. Wen Yan went to the kitchen to start preparing breakfast with Gu Lin after washing up first.

After preparing breakfast, Gu Xian also got up. After washing up, he found that Gu Lin and Wen Yan had already prepared breakfast. He was very surprised and asked with a smile, "Why are you so early?"

"Today's palace exam." Gu Lin held a stack of side dishes, as if it was a matter of course, "You have to eat and drink well to have the strength to take the exam."

Although the palace examination is very important, and Gu Xian himself values ​​it very much, he still feels that Gu Lin and the others are too nervous, but Gu Xian will not ignore other people's kindness.

So he smiled and said, "Then thank you Xiaoyan and Xiaolin."

Wen Yan didn't care much about his thanks, in his heart, they were a family, and there was no need for family members to thank him, but Gu Xian was willing to thank him, and he accepted it frankly.

Gu Lin laughed instead, and patted Gu Xian on the shoulder, then narrowed his eyes and said, "Thank you so much, come back with a champion!"

As he said that, he clenched his fists fiercely again, "To overwhelm that kid, Ah Ce."

Hearing his childish words, Gu Xian couldn't help but shook his head and smiled. I really don't understand why Gu Lin is so persistent in suppressing Ah Chi. They seem to have a good relationship.

If Gu Lin knew what Gu Xian was thinking, she would definitely roll her eyes. How do you know that I have a good relationship with Ah Ce?

Of course he doesn't know now, so he pushed the breakfast in front of Gu Xian, "Brother, eat well!"

Gu Xian smiled and nodded, then bowed his head and ate properly.

After eating, Gu Lin and Wen Yan sent Gu Xian to the gate of the palace, and after seeing him enter the palace gate, he and Wen Yan went to the restaurant box that had been reserved earlier.

This private box was reserved a long time ago. The third floor is facing the street, with a wide view. You can see farther when you lean out, and you can see the whole street at a glance.

Gu Lin booked this box early in order to watch the top three in the imperial examination straddle the street.

It was still early, and Gu Lin and Wen Yan were sitting in the box drinking tea and eating snacks. To pass the time, he also brought two story books, one for each of them, and read them with great interest.

Gu Lin was so nervous, but Gu Xian, the person involved, was not nervous, his mood and expression were very calm.

The sky in April is not as good as in March. The sky in March is bright and mild, with a slight chill, but the sky in April is already slightly hot. Although it is a little hot, it is cooler than the heat in May and June. How many.

So Gu Xian only wore a blue Confucian shirt today, looking gentle, elegant and handsome.

Today, Ah Ce seems to have a heart-to-heart connection with Gu Xian, and he is also wearing a blue Confucian shirt. His face is more tender, and he doesn't look more handsome than Gu Xian, but he has a different taste.

Among a group of students whose average age is at least 60 years old, and the oldest is even more than [-] years old, the two seem to stand out from the crowd.

The officials who rolled the rolls and handed out the rolls could not help but look at the two of them. They were no strangers to Ah Ce, and they were not surprised that he appeared here. After all, Ah Ce was also a well-known young talent in Beijing.

But Gu Xian took them a little by surprise, after all Gu Xian looked really young.

In fact, Gu Xian is already in his 20s, but his figure is thin and his face looks small, so it is amazing to appear in the palace examination.

The subject of the palace examination was given by the emperor, but during the palace examination, he didn't have to show up. Of course, if he wanted to come and see, he would come to inspect it.

Gu Xian didn't care whether the emperor appeared or not, he was very calm now, whether the emperor appeared or not, it couldn't affect his mood.

When he got the topic, Gu Xian read the topic carefully before he started to think.

Regarding today's son, Ah Ce talked a lot with Gu Xian after the test, so Gu Xian also had a certain understanding of what today's son likes, knowing that he likes to be pragmatic, so the article had better be meaningful.

Gu Xian thought about it for about a quarter of an hour, then picked up a pen and began to break through the topic.

I don't want to, the emperor suddenly appeared at the palace examination site. He still attaches great importance to this palace examination, so he will appear at the palace examination site today.

He read the articles written by several students for a while, then went to Ah Ce to read them for a while, and then walked up to Gu Xian.

Seeing Gu Xian, Emperor Wei Yang was very surprised. Isn't this the beautiful little scholar from the Lantern Festival Poetry Contest?Sure enough, he is a talented person.

I took a closer look at Gu Xian's article. Although Gu Xian's article has not been completed, it looks very good. It can be seen that the content is still very detailed.

Wei Yang couldn't help but nodded, and secretly praised in his heart, he had read so many students' articles, this little scholar's article was the best, and this little scholar seemed to be the youngest among the students this time .

He knew Ah Ce, and knew that although he looked young, he was already 24. This little scholar looked 23 or [-] at most, so he should be the youngest of course.

Wei Yang was already thinking about what ranking he would give this little scholar.

Judging from the articles he has read, this little scholar is naturally the best one, but it cannot be ruled out that there are other better articles that he has not read.

But if the little scholar's article can be ranked in the top ten, he decided to give him the top three rankings.

In fact, he is still very confident in this young scholar's article, and now he is entangled in whether he should give it to the champion or Tanhua.

Tanhualang's beauty has been obvious to all since ancient times. Most emperors would consider appearance when choosing Tanhualang, and Wei Yang is no exception.

He is also a good-looking person, and he hopes that Tan Hualang is a beautiful person.

But he will not only look at the face, but also the article. If the article of the little scholar can get No. Not good.

Several thoughts flashed through Wei Yang's mind, but he just thought about it, all the results still depend on the results of the palace examination.

After reading a few students' articles, Wei Yang went back to the apse. Chu Tong was lying on the couch reading a book. When he saw Wei Yang coming back, he didn't lift his head, but asked, "How?"

"Not bad." Wei Yang took a sip of the tea in front of him, and then smiled, "Do you still remember the beautiful little scholar at the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Competition? He is at the palace examination site."

Chu Tong thought for a while, and then remembered what happened that day at the poetry competition, and then he realized, "He is Gu Lin's brother, and his name is Gu Xian."

"Eh?" Wei Yang was very surprised, Gu Lin actually has such a beautiful brother, why Gu Lin doesn't look like his brother at all.

However, the two brothers are very talented, Gu Xian is very talented, and Gu Lin is a man of action.

To tell the truth, Wei Yang was very happy to discover two talents in one breath. The person Wei Yang admired most in his life was An Wang Yanrong, and Yan Rong helped him to the top, and the only requirement was that he be a wise king and create a prosperous world .

He has been working hard for so many years, and he never dares to relax for a moment, but he still feels a lot of pressure, and he always feels that the talents in his hands are not enough.

He has always been eager for talents, so he is very happy. If he was not in a good mood, he would not have had the time to think about it today.

Chu Tong naturally knew him and his thoughts, so he naturally understood his mood, and said with a smile, "The results of the imperial examination will be out soon, you should go out."

Wei Yang leaned over and kissed Chu Tong on the forehead, then smiled, "You wait here for me obediently."

Chu Tong kissed back, then lowered his head and continued reading.

When Wei Yang went out, the exam time had passed. The officials quickly sent the top ten papers to Wei Yang. Wei Yang took it over and saw Gu Xian's paper.

The ten papers were all good, and Wei Yang nodded after reading them.

After reading ten papers, Wei Yang came to the conclusion that Gu Xian not only looks good, but also writes well, and his writing is even better. He is a well-deserved first name.

After struggling in his heart for a long time, Wei Yang still decided to give up the choice of letting him be Tanhua, hand-picked him as the first champion, and comforted himself silently in his heart, the Dashao law did not stipulate that the champion cannot be better-looking than Tanhua , then Gu Xian became the No. [-] scholar, perhaps the best-looking No. [-] scholar ever.

After singing the name, Gu Xian was also very pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that he would win the first prize. Although he was very confident in himself, he never thought that he would actually win the first prize.

So when he was pleasantly surprised, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Ah Ce, and Ah Ce looked at him with a soft face, with an undisguised smile on his face. Gu Xian instinctively returned a smile, and Ah Ce's face The smile deepened.

It was only then that Gu Xian remembered that Ah Ce had won the second place. Thinking of this, the smile on his face became even brighter, and he secretly gestured to Ah Ce to express his congratulations. After making the gesture, he quickly withdrew his hand , resumed his serious appearance, after all, he was in the palace, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

Seeing his movements, Ah Che was even happier, but Gu Xian didn't turn his head anymore, he could only see his profile, so Ah Che gave up and stood obediently.

After singing the name, thank you for your kindness, the emperor bestowed red clothes and hats, golden flower soap boots, umbrella cover ceremony and so on, which were all prepared by the Ministry of Rites long ago, and the drumming guard of honor surrounded the champion, second place and Tanhua out of the palace.

Since Gu Xian was the number one scholar, the first one to go was Gu Xian's house.

The champion, the second place, and Tanhua parade across the street, such a grand occasion usually only happens once every three years, so the roadsides along the way are already crowded with people, but the doors and windows of all restaurants and tea shops are wide open, and everyone in the house sticks their heads out. Just to pay homage to the No. [-] pick, No. [-] pick, and No. [-] pick.

Gu Xian and the others rode horses through the streets. As soon as they arrived on the street, Gu Lin saw them and pulled Wen Yan excitedly, "Look, they are coming!"

Wen Yan looked in the direction he pointed, and saw Gu Xian walking in front on horseback, arranging flowers and wearing red, he looked even more fair and beautiful, very handsome, especially his pair of eyes, which were so shining that people couldn't take their eyes off .

A horse's body behind him is Ah Che, who has a tender face, looks very cute and cute, and has attracted a lot of attention.

Tanhualang, on the other hand, doesn't look young anymore, and there are signs of age on his face. He looks very peaceful and upright. Under the light of Gu Xian and Ah Ce, he looks a bit ordinary.

However, Tanhualang has a very good attitude, and his smile is very gentle and calm. It is easy to make people feel good at the first sight, so his popularity is not bad.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xian really won the first prize. Gu Lin laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. Just about to say something, he heard the person next to him praise, "The number one scholar is so handsome! And he's still young, he's really a formidable young man."

"That's not it." Another person continued, "The top scholar in the previous department is 56. Compared with the top student in this department, he is really old."

"It's very true, Zhuangyuan Lang is not vulgar."

"The second place is also good, it seems to be younger than the number one scholar, it's really a formidable young man.". . . .

The people around are chattering, most of them are words of appreciation.

The owner of the restaurant is very good at doing business. The usual box is separated by a screen and turned into two small boxes, so Gu Lin can hear the voices of the people next to him clearly.

Hearing that they all praised Gu Xian, Gu Lin was even happier, looking proud.

Wen Yan also laughed. I knew that Gu Xian was very good, but I didn't expect him to be admitted to the first prize. It was really unexpected.

It's not that Wen Yan underestimates Gu Xian, but Wen Yan knows that the world is big and there are many capable people. Although he has great confidence in Gu Xian, he will not be arrogant, so his estimate of Gu Xian's ability is relatively conservative.

Over there, Gu Lin was still complacent, "This time I have finally overwhelmed that boy, A Ce."

Gu Lin still remembered this, and said with a sigh of relief.

Wen Yan was helpless, but he didn't refute. He poked his head out and continued to watch Parade.
