Quick Transmigration: My First Female Skill Takes Effect
Chapter 166 Imperial Examination Essay, First Female Candidate
As Gu Qi emerged from the examination hall, the first thing she saw was her mother and father waiting for her outside.
Walking over quickly, Gu Sanhe took the basketball hoop from Gu Qi's hands.
Li Ling didn't ask about the exam; she just held her daughter's hand.
When Gu Lan came out, the two families went together to Gu Qi's residence. The new house was built by her using one-third of the money given by the Ministry of Works.
Upon entering the house, the first person I encountered was Teacher Wenhe, followed by a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.
The first thing to do is to take his pulse.
After the doctor confirmed that Gu Qi was alright, Wen He's gentle expression changed again.
She asked the two girls to write down their answers so she could take a look.
Gu Qi and Gu Lan ate pastries while writing down their answers.
After they finished writing, it got dark, and only then did Teacher Wenhe let them go.
Gu Qi and Gu Lan went to eat, while she stayed behind to look at the questions.
First, look at her students.
Yes, the handwriting was as neat and tidy as she requested, and the words were just as concise.
It rarely uses flowery language.
This suited the new county magistrate's taste perfectly.
Looking at the answers, Wenhe's lips curled up. As expected of her, a talented woman from the capital should be able to teach genius students.
Although the saint killed her grandfather, her father, her brother, and her husband.
But I still value her.
I'm mentally drafting new plans for the students.
After the Xiucai (a successful candidate in the county-level imperial examinations), one should become a Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial-
"I knew it. Our Lan girl is a natural at studying; she has talent."
A few days later, the results of the county examination were released.
Grandma Gu Lan, Yu Shu, slapped her thigh and loudly proclaimed her keen eye for talent in the courtyard.
She glanced sideways at her son and daughter-in-law, who were not Chunniang.
They're all useless; none of them have the same good judgment as that old lady.
Gu Lan listened to her grandmother's praise, her mother and father's pride, and her aunts' compliments.
She was praised as the future of the Gu family, the lingering smoke of the Gu family.
There was also a group of sisters and brothers trying to please her.
Haha, this is so much fun!
She was fortunate enough to be born on such a good day.
Even the plum blossoms sighed, lamenting that the child had finally caught up with such good days.
She thought that after her sage bestowed a prestigious position upon the child, he would quickly forget about Gu Qi, who had staged the accident.
But she didn't expect Gu Qi to become so attached to her.
He corresponded frequently with the sage, and the sage especially enjoyed writing letters to Gu Qi.
One was a man in his thirties, and the other was a child not even ten years old. Plum Blossom couldn't understand what they could say.
Today, when the sage asked if Gu Qi was going to take the imperial examination, Mei Hua answered yes.
The sage laughed heartily, his eyes revealing a pride and arrogance that the plum blossoms could see.
He truly deserves to be called her student.
So the sage thought that Gu Qi's title of princess was not prestigious enough. It was the Zhou Dynasty now, and it was time to change it.
So he gave Mei Hua an order to send someone to announce the decree after Gu Qi became a scholar.
This is a reward from a sage to his student for his meritorious service in supporting the emperor.
As for why she only remembered it now, Luo Sheng said she was really too busy.
Gu Qi declined the Gu family patriarch's invitation to return to the village to offer incense, as she needed to prepare for her next exam.
—Prefectural Examination.
Those who passed the prefectural examination were considered to have passed the preliminary examination.
Gu Qi still wanted to be the top scorer in the prefectural examination.
Being first in the county examination was no longer enough for her.
Li Ling and Gu Sanhe focused on preparing food for Gu Qi, allowing her to concentrate all her attention on the exam.
Wenhe focused intently on preparing his answers for the students.
Gu Qi hugged the three of them for a second, moved, before turning her gaze back to the book.
Day after day, half a month later, Gu Lan came to beg for money.
She watched as another candle was replaced in front of her friend, and then checked the time.
— Fifth quarter of Hai hour.
He stole another glance at Gu Qi, who still looked energetic.
Using the excuse of needing to relieve herself, Gu Lan quietly asked Chunhua, Gu Qi's confidante, how long she had been reading.
A hint of admiration rose in Chunhua's eyes, and she answered with pride and self-assurance, "Midnight."
Her master is just that hardworking and ambitious.
Gu Lan was surprised. She knew Gu Qi was intelligent, but she didn't expect her to be so hardworking.
If the first-place winner works this hard, what reason does she, as the tenth-place winner, have not to follow suit?
Gu Lan, clenching her fist to cheer herself up, returned to the study, glanced at Gu Qi, and took a deep breath.
Gu Lan picked up the book and continued reading.
I followed Gu Qi until 11 o'clock, then put down my textbooks and went to sleep. I got up again at 6 o'clock in the morning.
First, I exercise for an hour, then I start memorizing at seven o'clock, and then I eat breakfast at eight o'clock.
After breakfast, Teacher Wenhe gave them a test.
Then I wrote two more poems.
After lunch, I received the test paper and listened to the explanation of the test paper and the appreciation of poetry.
Then I studied on my own, reviewing the subjects I was weak in.
Gu Lan was suddenly transported back to the time when she first transmigrated to her senior year of high school, but she still insisted on seeing Gu Qi, who was younger than her and had a noble title.
She couldn't find a reason not to persist.
Gu Qi's mental strength is truly amazing.
He's energetic all day long and I've never seen him tired.
In response, Gu Qi said that she is in good health.
April has arrived.
Gu Qi, along with her mother and father, and Gu Lan, along with her mother and father, headed to the prefectural city.
—Yuzhou.
It was exam time, and Yuzhou City was even more bustling than usual.
Among them, there were more girls participating in the prefectural examination than Gu Qi had seen in the county examination.
When they met him, they would always nod, their eyes filled with gratitude for the current sage.
Where there are many scholars, there are also many debates, and not everyone is willing to see women taking the imperial examinations.
The number of scholars was fixed and limited, and with more than half the people vying for the position, some were naturally dissatisfied.
They inevitably say some ridiculous or laughable things.
For example, right now:
"It is improper for women to come to take the imperial examinations, but the sage understands and cherishes them."
"Why can't they understand even a little bit about the saints?"
A man dressed in a green robe and wearing a red square scarf stood on the second floor of the teahouse, pointing and gesturing at several women dressed as scholars on the first floor.
A woman, agitated by her words, slammed her hand on the table: "How can we not be considerate of a saint?"
They clearly regarded the saint as a god.
I pray daily, hoping that the saint will be healthy, safe and live a long life.
The man in the green robe glanced at them sideways and said disdainfully, "To be considerate of the sage, one should not make things difficult for him."
"Do you know that the Sage has clashed with many important ministers in the court for your sake?"
"If you truly understand the Sage, you should step aside voluntarily, so as not to put the Sage and the officials of the court in a difficult position."
His eloquent and flattering words did indeed shake the resolve of many kind-hearted people.
Gu Qi's family was also drinking tea on the first floor, but they were in a corner.
"What a shameless scoundrel who twists right and wrong."
Gu Qi wore a red, narrow-sleeved, round-necked dress embroidered with gold thread patterns such as endless knots, vases, and goldfish.
A goldfish-shaped pouch and a sachet hung from the waistband.
Even though she was standing in the corner, she drew everyone's attention in the teahouse.
The sunlight outside rushed over, casting golden rays upon her.
He was like a celestial child.
However, her face held a mocking expression as she looked in the direction of the man in the green robe who had just spoken.
