After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

Chapter 298 Palace Exam
Lin An and Wu Dinghou were people Liu Lu could not afford to offend.

Let alone one of the two of them is the chief assistant of the dynasty, just say that Marquis Wu Ding, who has fought for His Majesty for many years and made great contributions to protecting the country, is no match for Marquis Dingxi, who only owes his title to the shadow of his ancestors. of.

And such people, Dingxihou can't afford to offend, not to mention that Liu Lu is just a nephew of Dingxihou, not even the eldest son.

Liu Lu thought that one day he would be inferior to Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng who he despised in terms of status, and he couldn't swallow this bad breath more and more in his heart.

But to Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng, Liu Lu was nothing at all.

There are better things in their current life. For example, the business of Su Xiaomu's Xiyue Pavilion is getting better and better, and Gu Jingcheng's exam results have also come down. It is really a gold medal, and he will be the first in the exam.

Su Xiaomu was very happy when she heard the news, although she trusted Gu Jingcheng immensely in her heart, knowing that it would be easy for him to take the first exam.

But in the process of waiting, I still can't help worrying about him. I got all the answers on that day after more than ten years of hard study. Few people have peace of mind and are not moved by it, right?

Of course, Gu Jingcheng couldn't hide the excitement in his heart. His eyes were full of excitement, and he even directly raised his hand to hold Su Xiaomu's arm, looking back and forth on her face with sincere eyes: "I've been hit."

"Yes, you won."

The first place in the government examination, the first place in the general examination, if he can get the first place in the palace examination, then Gu Jingcheng's future is simply limitless.

Both of them were happy about this matter, Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng specially invited Zhou Lin, and Su Xiaomu planned to cook for him himself.

In this way, this happy event can be regarded as shared with all their relatives and friends in the capital.

As for the family, Gu Jingcheng wanted to write a letter to go there together after the results of the palace examination came out, so as not to make them worry about him a few times.

While Su Xiaomu was busy in the kitchen, Gu Jingcheng and Zhou Lin were discussing other things.

Su Xiaomu was tired all day and cooked the meal. When she put the last dish of sweet and sour fish on the table, Zhou Lin suddenly violently pushed open the study door, without even looking at Su Xiaomu, and left with an ugly face.

"Don't you have to eat before leaving?"

Su Xiaomu looked at Gu Jingcheng and Zhou Lin who didn't close the courtyard door for her, and frowned: "He is like this, is it because you two said something in the room that made him unhappy?"

"No, how could I say that I made him unhappy on the big day? Maybe it's because of some other things." Gu Jingcheng shook his head, and his expression was not very good at the moment, "He is not lucky to eat your meal, then the two of us Just eat it by myself, with so many delicious foods, I am truly blessed."

"I cook what you like, and they're all still warm. I'm afraid they'll be cold, so I've been keeping them hot in a pan. But are you sure there's nothing between you two? Did you lie to me?"

Su Xiaomu didn't quite believe Gu Jingcheng's words, and her doubtful eyes circled his face again and again.
"Gu Jingcheng, you and Zhou Lin are such good friends. Before you had an accident in the capital, he would have sacrificed his life for you. Now is your day of great joy. I don't believe he would upset you at such a happy event."

"It's really nothing, it's just that he has to deal with some things at home recently, and it's already a sneak in to congratulate me today."

Gu Jingcheng and Su Xiaomu explained patiently: "However, I don't know what happened to his family. He doesn't want to talk about it, and I don't want to ask too much."

"Is that really the case?" Su Xiaomu didn't believe it.
"I always feel that the atmosphere between the two of you is a bit strange. When you came out of the room just now, you looked ugly. I told Zhou Lin in advance to let him come to eat at home. If it's nothing serious, he wouldn't just be in such a hurry It’s time to leave, and the Zhou family’s business should not have settled in the capital yet, right?”

Su Xiaomu instinctively felt that Gu Jingcheng was lying to her, but he couldn't figure out why he was lying to her.

"This is his business. If he doesn't want to talk about it, it's not easy for me to press him?" Gu Jingcheng said again, "Let's not talk about it, let's eat first. You have worked so hard for so many dishes. If it's cold, wouldn't it be a waste of your mind."

"Then eat it. After your palace test is over, you should go to Zhou Lin to ask about his family's situation. You two are such good friends. Don't forget each other even if you are rich. If there is anything in his family that needs help, we can't help it." Stand by and watch."

Su Xiaomu had doubts in his heart, but he was also reluctant to waste the meal he cooked, so he temporarily suppressed his doubts, and the two of them cooked in silence.

In the early morning of the second day, Gu Jingcheng got up to pack up the items needed for the imperial examination. Su Xiaomu spent a lot of money to buy him a suit of clothing when he was taking the examination in the Gongyuan, and he definitely would not let him show his timidity in front of the students this time.

Although Gu Jingcheng has an exceptionally handsome face, people rely on clothes and horses. After he is so grandly dressed, he is so handsome that people can't take their eyes off him, wishing to keep their eyes on him.

"It's really good. This indigo robe is unbearable for most people, but you are different. This silver-trimmed dress is extravagant."

Su Xiaomu looked Gu Jingcheng back and forth, and raised his two arms to have a closer look.

Really good really good.

Gu Jingcheng also liked the robe he was wearing. He stood on the spot and turned around, nodding his head in satisfaction: "Of course I believe in your vision, will you wait for me at the door today?"

Gu Jingcheng stared at Su Xiaomu expectantly, perhaps because his eyes were too sincere, Su Xiaomu couldn't say a word of rejection when he looked at him.

"Yes, after the palace examination, I will accompany you to wait for the result."

Su Xiaomu took Gu Jingcheng's luggage from Gu Jingcheng's hand, and walked out with him.

But for some reason, Su Xiaomu always felt a little uneasy.

Her heart was pounding in her chest, and a feeling of panic swept over her body, adding a bit of depression.

But it made her wonder where this depression came from.

"You don't need to be too nervous during the imperial examination today, just act with a normal heart. In short, you are so outstanding in the exam, it's all because of yourself, and His Majesty will not make things difficult for you."

Su Xiaomu originally wanted to tell Gu Jingcheng to be careful.

But I also felt that I shouldn't put pressure on him at this time, so I suppressed this idea.

"Yes, I know it in my heart, you don't have to worry too much about me, just wait for my good news here."

Gu Jingcheng reached out and touched Su Xiaomu's head with a smile: "Wait for me."

"it is good."

Su Xiaomu still felt flustered in her heart, but she didn't dare to pass on such negative emotions to Gu Jingcheng, so she had to suppress it silently.
