Quick Transmigration: My First Female Skill Takes Effect

Chapter 164 Imperial Examination Essay, First Female Candidate

Gu Sanhe, of course, refused to admit that he was the one who hit him.

He stood ramrod straight. In the three years he had been the shopkeeper, he had, to say the least, turned quite pale.

In addition, his features were handsome and his words were righteous, so many people in the courtyard who were watching the commotion believed him.

Old Gu rushed over from the fields, and seeing the commotion at home, he wished he could cover his face and pretend he hadn't seen anything.

"Alright, boss, stop talking nonsense. Your brother isn't that kind of person."

If the eldest brother has a bad reputation, it will also implicate Gu Qing. That idiot eldest brother.

Old Gu said, trying to drag Gu Dajiang back into the house: "Go back inside."

Gu Dajiang, of course, refused. He broke free from Old Man Gu's hand, faced Gu Sanhe, and looked at him with resentment in his eyes.

After the family split up, he thought he had gotten the bigger share and that he had profited.

But the expenses are also high; firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea all cost money, and there are fewer people to do the work in the fields.

More importantly, the monthly allowance of four hundred copper coins was gone, and Gu Qing was a clean and studious person.

Clothes and paper are both essential.

With money going out one sum at a time, Gu Dajiang couldn't even guarantee that it would be enough for Gu Qing to participate in the imperial examinations.

All of this is because of Gu Sanhe. If it weren't for Gu Sanhe, their family would still be doing well.

Gu Dajiang doesn't need to worry about these things.

"Do you dare swear, Gu Sanhe? If you hit me, you'll suffer a terrible death."

A cold glint flashed in Gu Sanhe's eyes: "Why would I make a vow for no reason? Brother, you should think about the people you've offended in the past."

Gu Dajiang's popularity is fickle, sometimes it lasts and sometimes it doesn't.

But he thought he was popular, while his third brother dared not.

"You don't dare?"

Gu Qi: "Uncle, swear it, if you deliberately caused trouble for my father in order to get money from him, may you die a horrible death."

Her little mouth was babbling out words, and she was always right on point.

Gu Sanhe snorted coldly: "Big brother, do you dare to swear an oath?"

The two brothers were fighting like enemies, and Old Man Gu really wanted to faint on the spot so he wouldn't have to see them make a fool of themselves.

"Second brother, fourth brother, carry the eldest brother back to his place."

With a flushed face, Old Man Gu ordered Gu Ershui and Gu Sihai to take action.

Before Gu Dajiang could say anything, Gu Mai shoved a cornbread into his mouth, effectively shutting him up.

After the crowd of onlookers was carried away, Gu Mai went outside and told everyone to disperse, as there was no more excitement to watch.

Gu Dajiang was placed on the bed in his room. Gu Ershui and Gu Sihai said a few words to their father and then went back to the fields.

It was just before the busy farming season, and they still had a lot of work to do in the fields.

Watching his grandfather leave, Gu Qing poured his father a glass of water: "Dad, why did Grandpa side with Third Uncle and the others?"

It was clearly the father who was supporting the grandfather.

Gu Dajiang knew his father somewhat: "Your grandfather was afraid of losing face if he didn't side with your third uncle."

From childhood to adulthood, his father's favorite thing about his family was that everyone was harmonious and peaceful.

Neither the father nor the son had ever considered that Old Man Gu was doing it for Gu Qing's reputation.

Gu Qing nodded at his father, but then looked at the wounds on his body and asked, "Dad, can you still go out? You'll need to rest for a while, won't you?"

"Hmm." Gu Dajiang didn't want others to see what his face looked like.

"Can Grandpa, along with Mom and my sister, finish all the work in the fields by themselves?" Gu Qing was worried about the harvest.

Gu Dajiang: "..."

"I'll go to the fields in a couple of days." We can't exactly hire someone to do it; we don't have any spare money at home.

Gu Qing suggested, "Why don't we ask Second Uncle and the others for help? Grandpa is their father too."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll talk to your grandfather."

Gu Qing nodded, then said something else: "Father, I heard that my eldest and second eldest sisters work for Gu Lan, and the family is not well-off now."

His father injured his foot and needed money to see a doctor and get medicine.

He wants to buy a book, but that requires money.

Gu Dajiang hesitated for a moment before saying, "I told your mother, but your sisters have gone astray and are spending the money on food and hair ties."

When he found out his daughter could earn money, he had his eye on her, but he never expected that he wouldn't be able to keep an eye on her.

All the money is gone.

My daughter has gained weight, but what's the use?

Gu Qing frowned as well. How could his sister be so inconsiderate of the family?

It is only when he is good that they can be better.

"Dad, you need to teach my sister properly." Gu Qing and his son were exchanging heartfelt words, not noticing the two figures outside the window.

Gu Liuyue pulled her pale-faced sister into the house, talking nonstop.

Especially when he scolded Gu Qing, his younger brother.

They were very good to Gu Qing, even giving him a bite of the food they bought for him.

But Gu Qing didn't remember any of it.

When Shen Yun returned, Gu Dajiang tried to persuade him, while Gu Qing offered her unspoken support, and the family drama began.

On the other side, Gu Qi was counting on her fingers, wondering how many more days it would take for her to receive her gold.

Gu Sanhe and Li Ling hurriedly returned just before dinner.

Gu Mai was chopping vegetables, and Gu Qi was wiping her hands. The two of them took over the entire kitchen as soon as they returned, so Gu Qi and Gu Mai stepped back.

As for Gu Ershui, Gu Sihai, and the other three, they haven't returned yet.

"Aqi, you and your father are not allowed to hit your uncle anymore." Her expression was neither happy nor sad.

Gu Qi felt that her grandmother's heart had matured a lot.

Gu Mai put her arm around her granddaughter and said earnestly, "Child, we still need our reputation."

Once is fine, but if Gu Sanhe comes back every time and Gu Dajiang gets beaten every time, it's like trying to hide something obvious.

Outsiders may forget that Gu Dajiang hit someone, but they will remember that Gu Sanhe hit his older brother.

Gu Qi gently patted her grandmother's back: "Don't worry, Grandma, my dad won't do it again."

Gu Dajiang was no longer a threat to her; she wasn't even too upset when he was beaten.

Because she is about to receive so much more.

At the private school, she asked Master Gu many questions and learned about another value of the goldfish charm.

"grandmother."

"Um."

"Tomorrow I'm going to make a clay figure."

"Hmm, who are you pinching?"

The grandmother and grandson chatted warmly, each taking turns speaking to the other, as the gentle breeze blew by.

The next day, Gu Qi went to the private school. In her spare time, she sculpted clay figures. She was very skillful, and the clay figures she made after drying looked very lifelike.

She gave one not only to her family, but also to Gu Lan.

There is another owner waiting for her.

Half a month passed, and it was the busy farming season, so Gu Qi and the others had their private school closed for the holidays.

She was wearing a straw hat and picking up ears of wheat with her younger siblings.

My second uncle and fourth uncle's family has welcomed a new member.

In the afternoon.

The sun was at its hottest, and Gu Qi lay under a big tree with her mother and father.

They didn't go home at noon; they just lay down to rest for a while before continuing to harvest.

Just as Gu Qi was about to fall asleep with her eyes closed, the sound of running footsteps came towards her.

"Aqi".

It was the village head's voice.

Many people looked over, and Gu Qi opened her eyes as well.

"Gong, someone from the palace is looking for you." The village head's eyes shone like the sun as he looked Gu Qi up and down.

She is good-looking and intelligent, but how could she possibly have any connection with the palace?

Gu Qi, who had been somewhat dazed, suddenly widened her eyes: "Where?"
