knew?
What does know mean?
Then what?
How to deal with it?
Fan Congwen felt a little uneasy for a moment and wanted to ask what to say about this, but Gu Chen stopped him with his eyes.
Gu Chen: "I'm afraid your Majesty still means that, wait until after the imperial examination. It won't be long anyway, let's just bear with it."
"Don't worry!"
Fan Congwen is a descendant of Fan Zhongyan. Historically, he should have been demoted to Zhuang Lang.
As a result, he went to Zhuanglang in this life, and he was doing well in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Moreover, it has been mixed into the fourth grade, which shows that it is due to the butterfly effect.
"As long as His Majesty knows in his heart, he is not colluding with Bao Chuan."
"He is a good official who cares about the people. It is enough that he did not report the incident without knowing it."
But there is still one month left for the imperial examination, so it’s not like I can’t wait.
However, the good brother has worked under Zhang Zimao for so many years.
It’s really not easy to maintain your original intention and not be greedy or take anything.
If he had no other choice, he wouldn't have asked himself to talk about it.
This is a true friend. He is always afraid of trouble you and always considers you.
In the eighteenth year of Hongwu's reign, on the second day of February, it was still dark, and all the candidates waiting for the exam were ready and lined up at the gate of Gongyuan.
At the door, there are carriages belonging to wealthy families and donkey carts belonging to ordinary people.
The students had either brocade or burlap clothes.
No matter whether their status is noble or humble, their starting line is the same at this moment.
This is the only time when people with low status are equal to those with high status.
They need to answer papers in the small cell, and need to eat, drink, and sleep in it.
Even if the Gongyuan is on fire, you can't run away. If you run away, your results will be invalid.
Not long after Gu Chen came over, he felt the taste of it.
Anyway, he was not willing to suffer this feeling again in his life.
"Stinky, stink!"
In his backyard, Gu Chen told the children about the unforgettable test that year.
"I'm unlucky. The exam room I got is right next to the room."
"Those who couldn't hold it any longer and needed to go to the toilet all went next door to me."
"That smell... I can't bear to look back. I really can't bear to look back."
Gu Chen waved his hands repeatedly, obviously not wanting to mention it further. Fortunately, he had expected that they would only eat steamed buns and not drink much water.
Otherwise, I don't know how embarrassing it would be.
The most important thing is that there is a room with a number, so you'd better not go there.
Because once you leave the small grid, you are suspected of cheating.
The examiner has the right to directly erase your results.
"Dad, you are amazing."
Gu Shuning's eyes were filled with stars, her father was in such an environment.
I was able to try to place 27th, and finally got a good result of 19th in the second class.
It's simply incredible.
"By the way, Dad, how many names was Uncle Bao Chuan back then?"
Thinking of the past, Gu Chen couldn't help but shake his head, dumbfounded.
"Uncle Bao Chuan, you will be ranked in the 80th or 90th place, and the 49th place in the top three."
"And in the end, I don't know what kind of bad luck happened to make him fall in love with Chen Ning. He spent a few years in Yushitai and worked as a Beijing official for a few years."
"He was careless. In the first exam, he forgot to bring his ink stick, so I lent it to him. In the second exam, he left his pen behind again, so I lent it to him again."
The examination lasts for nine days, with three sessions in total, each lasting three days and two nights.
On the night after each exam, candidates can return to their residence to rest.
Change clothes, tidy bedding, and then change pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and meal candle holders.
"The third time he lost his money, and the innkeeper wouldn't let him leave unless he gave him the money. I had to borrow his room fee to get into the examination room in time."
"Otherwise, he would probably be working as an evangelist in his hometown now."
This is what it would be like to meet him, when he was still a good college student who grew up under the red flag and was willing to help others, and to meet him now.
If you can forget this little thing, why are you still an official?
"No wonder Uncle Bao Chuan is so kind to us." Gu Shuning suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Dad asked uncle to find soda, and he delivered it within two months."
"If there is anything delicious or fun in Shu, my uncle always remembers to bring some to our family. Dad is a good man, and my uncle is also a good man who knows how to repay kindness."
"It's natural that such a good person and a good person can become best friends."
Dad showed kindness, and Uncle Chen thanked him in return. The kindness and gratitude eventually turned into a firm friendship.
"Sir, the miracle doctor Xiao is here to visit."
Just as Gu Chen was about to continue talking about the fun things about cheating in exams, Tao Zi followed the instructions and came over to announce that there was a visitor at home.
Xiao Jiuxian is here?
He still wanted to find him, but he had been living in Wei Guogong's mansion to take care of Xu Da.
It's not convenient for me to go find him, but it's good for him to come over.
"Master Gu, I haven't seen you for many years, and I haven't congratulated you on your promotion."
Xiao Jiuxian's face was full of smiles, and he also brought many gifts.
"Sir, don't worry, these are all food made by my wife."
"Less than usual money."
He had long heard that Mr. Gu never accepted gifts worth more than the usual amount, so he followed this rule.
"Okay, since it's your gift, I won't open it one by one and read it."
Xiao Jiuxian is a doctor, not a businessman or an official.
Therefore, there is no need to be so strict on guarding.
"I'm just here to thank you. I made the penicillin you mentioned, and it has cured many emergencies and terminal illnesses. Duke Wei Guo relied on this for his back carbuncle..."
Talent is talent. Gu Chen worked on something for several years but still couldn't figure it out. After telling Xiao Jiuxian the principle, he succeeded after two attempts.
"Oh, yes, His Highness King Yan asked me to give it to you when I responded to the sky."
Xiao Jiuxian took out a jade pendant with a dragon pattern, and Gu Chen recognized it as the one Zhu Di often wore around his waist.
"His Royal Highness King Yan asked me to tell you that he didn't mean to get into trouble with you before. He said thank you. This jade pendant is a promise."
"If you need help with anything, just ask him."
Gu Chen was so persistent in getting penicillin because he wanted to save Zhu Biao.
Unexpectedly, by some mistake, General Xu Da was saved.
Xu Da is alive, the north is absolutely stable, and the famous generals who have been fighting for a while are like clouds.
"Give it to Wei Guogong and ask him to return it to His Highness King Yan." Gu Chen pushed the jade pendant back: "No reward for no merit. The one who contributed to this matter is you, the miracle doctor Xiao."
Flirting with the feudal king is not good for him, as long as everyone knows that.
Xiao Jiuxian also thought of this and took the jade pendant back.
Anyway, he just had a message and was not responsible for persuading people to accept gifts.
After passing the general examination, there will be the palace examination, because Gu Chen has now become a bachelor of Huagaidian.
Therefore, he is also qualified to discuss the top three personnel with the emperor and prince.
"Guang Xi, what do you think of Huang Zicheng? He will be ranked first in the test this year. Take a look at this article and add this good word..."
Biao'er was attracted by Huang Zicheng's article and praised him repeatedly.
Even Lao Zhu, who has always been picky, didn't find any reason for this.
"I think he is talented." Gu Chen first commented on the nonsense, and then expressed his true feelings: "I should be able to achieve something by editing books."
But don't be short-circuited and give him the right to participate in state affairs.
