Quick Transmigration: My First Female Skill Takes Effect
Chapter 176 The First Woman in the Imperial Examination
Gu Lan.
After the college entrance exam, before she even had a chance to run wild, she followed the trend of novels and actually time-traveled.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Gu Lanya.
She was then fed a bowl of bitter medicine while an old woman next to her was cursing at her.
Following her biological instinct to not die, Gu Lan drank the bitter medicine, and her body slowly recovered.
She has loving parents, two older brothers and a younger brother, and even a biased grandmother (who always gives her the best food but doesn't give her any).
There's also a childhood sweetheart who's good at studying and grows up to be handsome.
Gu Lan once felt that she had transmigrated into the body of a novel's female protagonist, and was preparing to grow up a bit more before starting her legendary rise to wealth.
Earning money to support her childhood sweetheart and younger brother's education is her main focus besides making money. As for her older brothers, they are really not good at studying. After spending a year in a private school, they don't want to go back.
This is also a point that she later found difficult to look at herself with.
Despite her young age, she was eager to become a nanny, which made Gu Lan think that she had been framed.
Her desire to help her childhood friend with his studies was quickly dispelled by a gust of wind, and she patted her dizzy head.
Feeling that the other party might cast a spell, he hurriedly ran home.
Later, her childhood sweetheart Xu Qingfeng actually wanted to propose marriage to her, but Gu Lan, having come to her senses, naturally refused.
She is still a baby.
Fortunately, her parents were supportive, saying that the child was still young and they would talk about it later.
Later, she will see a child named Gu Qi born, who can talk and walk.
They also had to attend a private school.
They even asked her if she was going or not.
By this time, Gu Lan had already achieved some success with her pastry recipe and had saved up some money at home. On a whim, she agreed.
After Gu Qi left, Gu Lan reflected on herself and realized that she had fallen into a stereotype, thinking that private schools were for boys and that girls shouldn't go.
She probably can't go; doesn't she, a person from later generations, know that?
So, in the evening, during dinner, she announced to everyone that she was going to the private school.
To Gu Lan's surprise, some people disagreed, feeling that it would be more cost-effective for her to go than for her brother to go.
Surprisingly, this reason was understood and agreed upon by most people. Without saying a word, Gu Lan placed all the meat plates she had earned in front of her.
"You're all too old; eating meat won't make you grow taller. I'd rather eat it."
"Besides, I earned the money from this meat, and I won't give meat to those who oppose me in the future."
Then she looked at her mother and father, asking them to give their opinions, and then her grandparents, adults and children were called out one by one.
She ultimately won by a narrow margin, with her uncle believing that the child should not vote. Her nanny and mother stood up for her, and Gu Lan saved her place in the private school.
For those who didn't vote for her, Gu Lan made sure to divide the family's meals into two portions starting the next day.
The best portion was given to those who voted for her, while the other, more ordinary portion was given to everyone, regardless of whether they were elders, siblings, or relatives.
Furthermore, when cooking meat at home, as long as it's paid for by her, anyone who opposes her shouldn't even think about eating her meat. No matter what others say, Gu Lan resolutely refuses to break this principle.
Anyone who dares to eat it, Gu Lan will tell everyone, and let everyone know about their shameless behavior.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the Gu family turned cold, but Gu Lan felt that this was a necessary step when the new rules were implemented.
Let's talk about economics, not about men and women.
Later, Gu Lan's life was sweeter than honey. She felt like she had traveled to the best era in the worst of ancient times.
The Empress, hahaha.
Gu Lan was eligible to take the imperial examination and passed, becoming a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the lowest level of the imperial examinations). She had now become the head of the Gu family, and her grandfather naturally stepped back.
Then, she offered to send her lackey sister to a private school and showed her her own notes, hoping that she could pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, thus taking control of her own life.
At this moment, Stone Brother, who had been dissatisfied with her for many years, suddenly became her most caring brother.
His performance wasn't as good as the older generation's, but that didn't matter; Gu Lan didn't care.
She would be someone he could never reach but had to please.
He would say a word when he was happy, but she wouldn't even see him when he was unhappy.
From Xiucai (a successful candidate in the county-level imperial examination) to Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial-level imperial examination) to a second-class Jinshi (a successful candidate in the second-class imperial examination), Gu Lan felt that she had transitioned from a female protagonist in a farming novel to a female protagonist in an imperial examination novel.
But when she saw her friend Gu Qi, she thought that Gu Qi was the real female lead, a prime minister in his twenties, she was simply a chosen one.
However, she's not bad either; she also takes on the role of the female lead's friend.
Xu Qingfeng.
On the night he asked Gu Lan for the notes, he had a beautiful dream in which he and Gu Lan were betrothed since childhood, and in the dream he was being carefully taught by Master Gu.
In her dream, Gu Lan loved him dearly; he studied, and she ran a business to make money for him.
When he failed the exam the first time, Gu Lan comforted him and continued to stay by his side without complaint.
At thirty, she passed the high school entrance exam. Gu Lan was happy for her and stopped her business again, because an official's wife was not allowed to run a business herself.
Xu Qingfeng knew she liked doing business, but he still gave it up for his future. He vowed never to take another woman in his life and to treat them well for the rest of his life.
The couple had three sons, each more intelligent than the last, and Xu Qingfeng taught them to read.
Not only that, but to repay his wife for her help, he also devoted himself to teaching his brother-in-law, enabling his brother-in-law to pass the imperial examination at the age of thirty.
At that time, he was already the Prefectural Governor, and he also found a position as a Registrar for his brother-in-law.
His wife's family was grateful to him, and his brother-in-law treated him like a brother.
When Xu Qingfeng was forty years old, the Empress Dowager mistook him for the emperor's faction and exiled him. Gu Lan stayed with him the whole time.
Whether he rose to a high position or was demoted to the mud, Gu Lan held his hand firmly.
Three years later, when Cui Jue, the emperor's confidant, stormed the palace and the empress dowager died, Xu Qingfeng was recalled. During those three years, Gu Lan took care of him, as well as his children and grandchildren.
It was truly arduous work, and his body was damaged. After returning, Xu Qingfeng became the prestigious Minister Xu.
Gu Lan also received a high imperial title, but at the moment of receiving the imperial decree, Xu Qingfeng saw three words that puzzled him.
—The End.
Xu Qingfeng rubbed his eyes, and the writing disappeared. He thought he was seeing things, but then the three dreamlike words appeared.
Gu Lan was on the verge of death. The imperial physician said that she had suffered greatly. Xu Qingfeng remembered this.
His wife always gave all the food she ate to him and the children.
Several months later, Gu Lan died, and Xu Qingfeng vomited blood on the spot.
After that, he lost his wife. With the help of his son and his wife's family, he took a concubine to take care of him.
Rumors circulated that "Xu Qingfeng's affection was as deep as the sea."
"A first-rate gentleman, the dream man of every girl."
"Even though Madam Gu died young, her life was worthwhile."
"Yes, she's very lucky."
Another gust of wind blew, and Xu Qingfeng woke up. He still remembered everything from his dream, and it felt so real that it didn't seem like a dream.
But that can't be reality, because Gu Lan didn't go into business; instead, like him, she took the imperial examination.
He was even better than him; he was a scholar who had passed the imperial examinations.
As soon as I stepped out in the morning, I saw his stepfather and sister, both with smiles on their faces.
"What's wrong?" Is there some good news at home?
Her younger sister, Liu Guangzong, grinned and said, "Sister Lan said that after I start school, I can borrow her notes to read."
Xu Qingfeng: "..."
He subconsciously pursed his lips, but his younger sister didn't care at all and happily ran to his mother to announce the good news.
Liu Cao's past expectations of Xu Qingfeng were entirely placed on her daughter, and she also showed an unusual closeness due to their shared surname.
"Wow, you're really lucky."
Xu Qingfeng felt that he was not very lucky. With another scholar in the family, the resources he had were reduced by half.
With his fist clenched, he thought, this is Gu Lan's revenge.
