Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 645 I almost forgot
Gu Wenyu smiled bitterly. Before he came over, Uncle Changping was still pondering over several questions of the day, especially the last arithmetic question.

Furthermore, Liu Lang even mentioned the relevant policy essay topic last night, and we should discuss and exchange ideas with each other on weekdays. Uncle Changping is not planning to come over tonight.

"My uncle is in a good mood. He said that he couldn't get a place in the scholarship program, so he needs to go to bed early tonight and let the three of us go to bed early too. I don't want to disturb him."

These were words that Uncle Changping could say, but he certainly could not imagine whether these words implied something about Wen Yu, who was trying to compete for a place on the government stipend.

Gu Wenxuan shook his head with amusement and changed the subject. He took the two pieces of rice paper handed to him by Gu Wenyu and started to discuss the questions written by Gu Wenyu.

Dajiang was originally worried about his third brother-in-law's words that he didn't need to worry about it and that he was just an insignificant person. It was just talk, but it did affect his mood.

After a moment, he discovered that his third brother-in-law was still talking about the topic as usual, without any nonsense, frequently quoting from classics, and every word he spoke was insightful.

This shows that he really didn't take Gu Dalang's sudden appearance seriously. In fact, in the eyes of his third brother-in-law, Gu Dalang's sudden appearance was not as important as reviewing the questions and learning new things.

Not to mention, Gu Wenxuan really forgot. If Gu Dahua hadn't mentioned it, he would have really forgotten that he asked Zhiming to find out Gu Dalang's purpose that night.

On the evening of the third day, after handing in his paper and leaving the examination room, no one could stop him from returning home. Just as he was about to ask Zhiming if he had arranged two carriages, Zhiming spoke first.

Because he came out early, he had no classmates to accompany him. When the two of them took a shortcut back to the house, he heard Zhiming report that everything had been packed and then continued talking.

"...The eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son's family sent a letter to the Zhao residence yesterday morning. The Zhao residence's doorman received the letter, but he also replied that the second master was not in the city today.

He went back to the school where he was currently studying. Because the county annual examination was to be held in the next three days, Master Li did not have any classes there, so he did not stay in the school for long.

Around noon, we went to the inn again and had lunch there. After that, we waited for the inn owner and his wife to return to the city from the village.

It was almost three quarters after midnight when he left the inn. He did not go back to the grocery store, but hailed a carriage not far from the inn and came directly here.

When I got here, I sat in the teahouse in front for a while and spent ten cents to ask the waiter in the teahouse to find out when the candidates for the county school would come out the next day.

Afterwards, he came out of the teahouse and turned to the intersection where he had been waiting last night. He seemed to be afraid of being seen by someone. An old man asked him where he was and what he was doing.

According to the information he got from his wife's family and the school, he only found out around noon the day before yesterday that the government office was not only recruiting runners, but also clerks.

After he went back last night, the master and daughter of the eldest son's family were still living in the grocery store. The daughter asked him where he had been, and he just said that a classmate had invited him.

This morning, the master of the eldest house went to the shop where he worked as the accountant as usual. He also went out when the second young master of the eldest house went to the grocery store.

After we walked for a while, we rented a horse carriage, but I don’t know if it was too expensive or what, so we didn’t go back to the village, but went back to the grocery store…”

So, even if Gu Dalang came for the clerk position last night, he didn't come for his father, but he wanted to take this vacancy himself.

As the saying goes, like father, like son, equally selfish and stupid. When I made some inquiries yesterday, I would have known that the recruitment had already been concluded.

Three days before the annual exam, even the son of the Zhao family participated in the exam set by the county magistrate. There was only one vacant clerk position, so why did they ask him for help? Could it be that Gu Wenxuan could make an extra clerk position in the county government and help him? This family still likes to force people to do things.

He didn't even think that the Zhao family would know the news in advance. He has been in the county school recently, so how could he not know the news? If there was an uncle who was a student and had experience as an accountant, he would have helped him a long time ago. Why didn't even his father mention it, and it was not his turn for Gu Dalang to go to school?

What good things are you thinking about? Don't say that there is no such thing. If there is a chance, he will not put such a thorn in the county government to make trouble for himself and his wife!
Gu Wenxuan was secretly thinking about this, but his face was full of surprise. As soon as Zhiming finished speaking, he shook his head, "So that's what happened.

Leave him idle, ignore him, call back the people, and ignore him. If Dajiang comes back later and the other two haven't come back yet, you should stay and wait for them to return to the village together."

Zhiming knew this would happen. That damn kid Jiaxing ran too fast, and Uncle Hua (Gu Dahua) had something else to do, so he had to stay behind to accompany the two of them back to the village.

Zhou Changping and Gu Wenyu, who were despised by Zhiming for being late for every exam, felt so wronged. They had already agreed that whoever finished the exam would return to the village first.

After all, there were distant guests arriving, but Gu Wenxuan was so polite that he asked Zhiming to accompany Zhou Changping and Gu Wenyu back to the village on his behalf.

"Master?"

"explain."

"Are you really not going to wait for them to go back together?" Zhiming secretly glanced at Gu Wenxuan's face, "Didn't the Madam ask Jiaxing to come and report yesterday to stabilize the Third Young Master of my in-laws and the Third Young Master of the Qi Mansion?

Jiaxing also said that the young ladies from the Qi Mansion got along very well with the young mistress, and that the two young masters also had a great time, and they even went hunting in the back hills yesterday."

Gu Wenxuan kept walking and glanced at him. When they were about to reach the door, he didn't mind saying, "It's not convenient for outsiders to stay in the back mountain for too long."

Zhiming was stunned for a moment, slapped his forehead, and quickly admitted his mistake. He was careless. The butler could not have been in the back mountain all the time, and Dali Ge and the others would not stop the guests.

There are some places in the back mountain that are okay to walk around, but the Third Young Master of the Qi Mansion is not the Third Young Master of the in-laws, and it would not be nice if the Third Young Master of the Qi Mansion broke in.

Even though the head butler had asked Dali Ge to pile up snow in certain places before the guests arrived, who knows whether the third young master of the Qi family would find something strange.

"Okay, don't make this mistake next time. You and Jiaxing are my right-hand men, so you must think twice before doing anything. It will be too late when I punish you."

Gu Wenxuan gave a warning, but did not forget to coax people. After he said that, he said no more and walked straight to the courtyard where he and his wife lived.

Zhiming hurriedly followed, but he didn't dare to have any evil ideas and ask his young master to go back to the village later, in case he forgot the important matter without thinking it through.

What's wrong with his brain? If he doesn't think twice before doing anything, he will sooner or later hold the young master back. He won't even have to be punished by the young master to have the face to stay by his side and serve him.

Are you honest now?
When Gu Wenxuan saw Zhiming following him into the study and skillfully packing the books he had sorted out last night into boxes, a smile flashed in his eyes.

In fact, of the two book boys, Zhiming is easier to use than Jiaxing. After all, he was the first one to follow him, so he still needed to be disciplined from time to time.
