Chapter 144: Success
Su Wan pinched Gu Jingyun's face: "Today is a great day, why are you looking so miserable?"
"Sister-in-law, most of the day has passed, and the good news has not come yet. Did the eldest brother fail the exam?" Gu Baozhu's face was full of disappointment, and he said to himself: "The eldest brother used to be good at learning and doing, but he has been doing well for many years. If I don’t study, my studies will be wasted.”
Gu Jingyun deeply agreed and nodded: "Dean Lin has been in a bad mood recently. I heard that he sent someone to inquire and wanted to ask the eldest brother how his results were in the provincial examination. The person who participated in the provincial examination with his eldest brother said that he had just entered the first test of the Tribute Academy , some people accused the elder brother of cheating, but later he was cleared of his innocence. The elder brother seemed to have given up on himself and was willing to degenerate. He slept all day long and answered papers randomly. He could finish the test questions in an hour while others could finish them in half a day. "
"???"
Why doesn't she know about Gu Huai's tofu heart?
Give up on yourself, surrender to yourself.
It is difficult to apply such words to someone like Gu Huaizhi.
Su Wan rubbed the heads of the two little guys: "Okay, okay, you think too much. Why isn't your eldest brother so powerful? He killed them into scum instantly?" She said to Gu Jingyun: "Be confident, you Even if you can get first place, if your eldest brother fails, will he dare to call you 'big brother'?"
At first glance, Gu Jingyun thought there was nothing wrong with what he said. After careful consideration, his dark eyes widened: "Sister-in-law, why can't I be better than my elder brother? Isn't there a saying that a person is better than a person who is good at it?"
"Be good, he will be your role model." Su Wan coaxed.
Gu Jingyun grunted, his face fell, and he sighed: "Forget it, if the eldest brother fails, let's just fail. Anyway, I'm still taking care of him!"
Su Wan: "..."
Gu Baozhu curled her lips and said, "When will you pass the examination to be a scholar and say this again? Now it's like bragging."
Gu Jingyun: "..."
Gu Baozhu's second kill: "Your knowledge was taught by my elder brother. If my elder brother fails to pass the exam, you will be even more useless."
Gu Jingyun: "..."
Gu Baozhu made three kills: "You were able to get into Xihe Academy only with the help of your sister-in-law. My eldest brother was begged by Dean Lin to go." Who is more knowledgeable and able to distinguish between superiors and superiors, she even added a punch, "Gu Jingyun , you are proud and complacent. This is a taboo for scholars!”
"...Shut up!" Gu Jingyun said with a stern face, "If you can't speak, don't speak!"
Seeing Gu Jingyun's defeat, Gu Baozhu giggled happily, she finally got something back!
Gu Jingyun's face turned dark.
Gu Baozhu tilted her head and blinked her big eyes: "Master said I progress faster than you!"
"I am in first place, have you made it into the top 50?"
"Master said not to care too much about ranking, but to break through yourself."
"If I break through myself, will I go to heaven?" Gu Jingyun's face was numb.
Gu Baozhu looked puzzled: "Can you go up?"
Gu Jingyun: "..."
Su Wan laughed and fell on the bed holding the quilt.
Gu Huaizhi entered the room and saw this scene. Gu Jingyun and Gu Baozhu were arguing like black-eyed chickens. Su Wan's black hair was scattered in the quilt. The red quilt made her skin as white as jade.
The sun shines in from the window, filling the room with vitality.
"Have you slept enough? I made yam and hibiscus soup. You get up and eat some?" Gu Huaizhi took the clothes from the wood and put them next to the pillow.
Su Wan stretched out a hand from under the quilt: "Please give me a hand."
Gu Huaizhi looked deeply into her astonishingly bright eyes, held her hand, and pulled her up to sit up: "I'll get you hot water." Before leaving, he took the two little guys out: "Today If you don't go to the academy, you can't miss your studies. Go back home and read two chapters of the Analects, and recite them to me in the evening." He paused and then said, "There are also explanations."
Gu Jingyun and Gu Baozhu screamed in despair.
Su Wan pursed her lips and smiled. She knew what she meant at first, and she said she wanted to be nice to Gu Huaizhi, but she was too busy with business and she had to arrange everything before going to Beijing, but she didn't take action. On the contrary, Gu Huaizhi was different when he came back from Fucheng, he was considerate and considerate.
Yesterday morning, she was having breakfast and preparing to go to town. Gu Huaizhi asked her what she wanted to eat today. She casually said yam and hibiscus soup, and he actually made it today.
After putting on her clothes, Gu Huaizhi brought hot water. After Su Wan washed her face, she looked at the yellowed bronze mirror. Her skin seemed to have become more delicate, and the dark circles under her eyes had faded a lot. She touched her face, It's tender, smooth and delicate, and the effect is pretty good. I'll try it for two more days and if there are no side effects, I can push it out.
The skin care products this time are for skin rejuvenation, whitening, and hydration. Next time I have time to develop freckle removal and hand cream.
Su Wan put on skin care products, put on powder, and used a small brush she made to dip lipstick into her lips.
The lipstick comes in a small celadon-glazed porcelain bottle, which is particularly beautiful.
Su Wan packed up and walked out of the house.
Gu Huaizhi came from the kitchen and saw her stepping out. Her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows were like indigo from the distant mountains, and her lips were as red and tender as a begonia.
"Isn't the color nice? I used crabapple flowers to make lip balm, and it has a light floral scent." Su Wan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, looking particularly pretty.
Gu Huaizhi's breath was suffocated, his eyes darkened, and he whispered: "It looks good."
"Then I'll have someone make crabapple paste tomorrow." Su Wan took the yam and hibiscus soup from his hand. There were also steamed dumplings and egg cakes on the table. She took a spoonful and put it into her mouth, and the yam paste entered her mouth. The sand is smooth, the radish and shiitake mushrooms are fresh and sweet, and it feels good in the stomach. "The second brother and the third sister were worried that you would fail the exam. You asked them to endorse it, but they didn't get accurate information. I guess they won't be able to calm down."
"The test questions are very simple." Gu Huaizhi was not worried.
Su Wan liked his calmness and indifference. She had an inexplicable confidence that Gu Huaizhi would definitely pass the exam.
As for the ranking, it was hard to guess.
Her heart moved slightly. On her birthday, Gu Huaizhi gave her three wishes. She bit the porcelain white spoon and said, "If you are in the top three, I will grant you one thing."
Gu Huaizhi raised his eyebrows: "Anything?"
"Anything."
"Okay." Gu Huaizhi glanced at her: "Remember it first."
Su Wan asked curiously: "Have you thought about what you want?"
Gu Huaizhi glanced at her and said "hmm".
Su Wan was a little scared by his meaningful look. She always felt that she had dug a hole for herself.
After breakfast, Su Wan stood at the door, looking forward to the person who delivered the good news.
"Gu Dalang! Gu Huaizhi! Gu Huaizhi——" Someone rushed over excitedly, shouting: "Madam Gu, is your husband home? He passed! He passed the high school entrance exam!"
Gu Huaizhi came out of the house, "Liu Er, come in and have some tea."
"No, no, no, someone from the county will come to announce the good news soon, so you should get ready."
As soon as Liu Er finished speaking, he heard the sound of gongs, coming from far away and getting closer. Two messengers knocked on the door of the Gu family, followed by villagers with happy faces.
"Sir, this is the Gu family."
The messenger shouted: "Gu Huaizhi received the good news!"
