After the big fool gets married

Wu Xuan nodded slightly towards the others, and went downstairs.

He gave Xiao Er a tael of silver, and asked Xiao Er to send a new set of bedding to the room, and send two pots of hot water.

Xiao Er happily picked it up, "Okay, I'll deliver it to you right away!" Inns generally don't make any money during the county examination, so Wu Xuan's reward was purely a surprise.

The room was replaced with a new bedding, Wu Xuan wiped Doudou's body with a handkerchief, and put on two layers of underwear.

Then he sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Doudou's side face in a trance.

He was wrong, he was really wrong.

Wu Xuan finally realized that he was imprisoned by modern thinking.

His thinking mode is still the thinking mode of modern society, but this is not modern society, this is the Great Lane Country.

Just like what happened to Wu Cuifen last time.Modern society cultivates a good boy who helps others, respects the old, loves the young, sees righteousness, and is brave. He always cares about his feelings and cannot bear to hurt others.But he didn't realize that this was no longer the original world, and Dalan Kingdom didn't have enough laws to protect them.He can only protect himself and Doudou by being strong on his own.

Similarly, there is this county test.

In modern times, exams are not dangerous.In line with the idea that there is no harm in taking one more certificate, he used an almost coercive method and strongly urged Doudou to take the county test.But they didn't consider at all that in this era, the imperial examinations are likely to die, and the death rate is not low!

Wu Xuan's finger touched Doudou's cheek.

He always felt that he was doing it for the good of Doudou, and that Doudou would have a better living environment with fame.This made him ignore Doudou's personal wishes and force Doudou to endorse the exam.After all, Doudou likes him very much and is never willing to disobey him, isn't she?

He used Doudou's trust and obedience to him, trying to arrange and even control Doudou's life.

He completely imposed his will on Doudou.

This is really too much.

Wu Xuan's fingertips slid twice on Doudou's cheeks.The skin under the fingertips is soft and warm, just like Doudou treats him, pampering him with a good temper, always obediently listening to him.

In the future, he will also learn to listen to Doudou.

From now on, whatever Doudou wants to do, just do it.

As for the others, he is there.He and Doudou are legal couples who have received a marriage certificate and combined household registration.They are one, bound together for life.As long as he doesn't die, he can protect Doudou forever.

Wu Xuan kept watch until midnight before Doudou faintly woke up.

Wu Xuan said softly: "There is porridge warming on the small stove, would you like some?" The small stove was used for heating the room, and he asked Xiaoer for a casserole to cook porridge for Doudou.

"Brother Xuan." Doudou blinked, still a little confused.

Wu Xuan helped him to half sit up and let him sit on the head of the bed.

Feeling the touch of the wooden bed under her body, Doudou looked around the room again, and finally came to her senses.This is the inn. He and Brother Xuan took the first round of the county exam today.

Doudou lowered her head and whispered, "Brother Xuan, those questions—" I didn't finish answering.

"Those questions are not important, as long as you are fine." Wu Xuan stepped forward, wrapping his arms gently around his body, "Doudo, I was wrong, I will never force you to take the exam again."

"Huh?" The surprise came so suddenly that Doudou didn't react for a while.

"Doudou, you can do whatever you want in the future, the imperial examination is my business, I should do it myself." Wu Xuan gently patted his back.

"But this time it was raining, and I thought the rain would stop. And I know all the questions." Doudou explained in a low voice.If there is no accident next year, he will take the exam again and should be able to pass.

Wu Xuan asked him: "Then do you want to take the exam again next year?"

Doudou shook his head honestly: "I don't want to." Even if he could pass the exam, he didn't want to.He doesn't like reading, and he doesn't want to be an official.

"Then I won't take the exam!" Wu Xuan made a final decision.

"Really?" Doudou couldn't believe it.Didn't Brother Xuan keep telling him that at least one scholar should be admitted?Why does it seem like a different person all of a sudden.

Wu Xuan nodded, "Leave the imperial examinations to me. Anyway, we have obtained the certificates, and we are all honored."

"Brother Xuan, what is the certificate?" Doudou asked.Brother Xuan started to say some weird words again.

"It means family." Wu Xuan stood up, "I'll get you porridge."

Doudou held the bowl and sipped the porridge, "Brother Xuan, why does this porridge have a hint of sweetness. The taste is familiar, I seem to have drank it somewhere."

Wu Xuan pulled out the remaining half bottle of restoration agent from under the table, and said, "I boiled it with restoration agent."

After the first round of the county examination, the group case will be issued on the third day.The group case only writes the seat number but not the name.Those on the list indicate that they have passed the first test and can continue to participate in the second test.And those who are not on the list can pack up and go home.

Of the five of Wu Xuan and the others, only Wu Xuan and Wu Wentao passed, while Doudou, Wu Wenxiang and Wu Kun did not.

Wu Kun was only 12 years old, still a child, he smiled and didn't take it seriously, and pestered Wang Xiucai to go to the street to buy candied haws.Doudou also relaxed, as long as Brother Xuan didn't mind, he actually didn't have any pursuit of the imperial examination.

Wu Wenxiang was the only one who cried and complained about the unfairness of the sky, saying that it was all because of the rain that affected his performance. If it didn't rain, he would definitely pass the exam.Obviously the roof of the house he was in was intact, and the rain didn't have much effect on him.

There were also other candidates in the inn who failed the first round, and they all blamed the spring rain before the Waking of Insects.

Some people were really affected, for example, a candidate who was in the same row as Doudou was still lying in the hospital.

But some people simply don't want to admit that they don't know enough.For example, the fat and thin group sitting next to Wu Xuan and the others two days ago, neither of them had passed the exam, was complaining loudly in the lobby on the first floor.

Wu Xuan and Doudou still chose the table in the corner, took the complaints of those people as the background sound, and had dinner as usual.

Doudou was full of admiration: "Brother Xuan, you are so good, you passed the No.2 exam!"

Although there is no name written in the group case, and there is no official ranking, the position of No.1 will be marked, and Wu Xuan is next to No.1.

Wu Xuan smiled, "It should be because I write well." After all, he has only studied poetry for three months, and his level is really average. Now he can only ensure that the rhythm and format are not wrong, and the aesthetic feeling is almost No.

-

The first round of the county test is the main one, the most important one, and the one with the highest elimination rate.The content of the next four exams is similar to that of the first exam. Generally, if you can pass the first exam, you can basically pass the next four exams without any accidents.

On the tenth day of March in the 14th year of Jingyuan, Yafang County of Dingshan Prefecture tried the "long case".

Wu Xuan and Doudou woke up early, planning to go to the entrance of the Gongyuan to watch the excitement.When they got downstairs, they saw Wu Wentao got up earlier than them, and he had already finished his breakfast, sitting at the dining table alone, lost in thought.

"Wen Tao, don't worry, you'll be fine." Wu Xuan went up and patted him on the shoulder.Wu Wentao ranked within the [-]th place in the first round, and a total of [-] students were enrolled in the county examination, so his position is very stable.

Wu Wentao nodded.

After Wu Xuan and Doudou ate some breakfast, the three got up and went to the Gongyuan.

The gate of the Gongyuan was crowded with people, including examinees who came to see their grades, passers-by who simply came to join in the fun, and small vendors who seized business opportunities to sell food.

The three of them waited behind the crowd for a while, and then heard the sound of the yamen servant beating the gong, accompanied by a high-pitched singing: "Release the case—"

The crowd roared and swarmed forward, Wu Xuan spread his arms to protect Doudou, preventing him from being squeezed by others.

Wu Wentao said: "You guys wait here, I'll go and have a look." After speaking, he squeezed forward with great effort, and after a while he disappeared.

Wu Xuan wrapped Doudou in his arms, and said, "Let's not be in a hurry, we'll wait for Wen Tao to come back and report the results, and someone should call his name later."

As soon as the words fell, I heard someone shouting loudly in front of me: "I saw it! No. 1 is Gu Jin! The head of the case, the head of the case is Gu Jin!"

With a sound of "嗡——", the crowd immediately started discussing, and everyone was very envious of this student named "Gu Jin".Passing the examination of the county's chief case means that as long as there are no accidents, Gu Jin's reputation as a scholar has already been obtained.It's not like people like them, who have to go all the way through the examination in the government examination institute.

Some students also asked, "Where is this Gu Jin from? Why have I never heard of his name?" In previous years, nine out of ten cases in the county were students from Zhiyuan Academy.Even if he is not, he should not be unknown among the students of Dingshan County if he can get the talent and learning of the top case.

Seeing that many people had raised similar questions, some insiders couldn't help it, and said, "Don't you know Mr. Gu Jin?"

He pointed to the three-story building not far to the east, "You all know the Wuyan Pavilion! You have all been to the library and bookstore of the Gu family!"

Someone came to his senses and asked, "Is Gu Jin from the Gu family?"

The man proudly said: "Of course. Mr. Gu is the only son of Mr. Gu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. It is said that he can write poems at the age of three and composition at the age of five. He is known as the most talented man in the capital."

"Wow—" The crowd was boiling again. For ordinary people like them who have lived in Dingshan County for most of their lives, the high officials in the capital are very far away from them.

"Then why didn't he take the exam in the capital and come to our Dingshan County?" Someone asked again.

This time, there is no need for an insider to speak, and someone else replied, "Of course it is because Mr. Gu's ancestral home is Dingshan County. Let the younger generation go back to their original place to take the exam instead of directly entering the Imperial College. This Mr. Gu must be a good and honest official!"

"What do you need to say? Just focus on the library in Wuyan Pavilion, and read books for students for free. In my mind, Mr. Gu is the best official in all ages!"

The topic gradually turned to flattering the Gu family and his son.Some people said that Gu Jin delayed taking the imperial examination until now, and she must be planning to take advantage of the smooth year of the imperial examination to pass the exam all the way, and get a title on the gold list within three years.

Some people even asserted that Gu Jin was likely to win six prizes in a row and become the first six-song champion in this dynasty.
