Gu Xiao didn't know that his test papers had set off a storm in Master Jiang's heart, so he and Nie Qianqian followed Xiao Liu to go through the admission procedures.
The admission procedures were not complicated. With a letter of recommendation from the county magistrate and Xiao Liuzi leading the way, the process was completed quickly.
The tuition fee for studying in the college is free, but there are also expenses such as equipment fees, tuition and miscellaneous fees, food expenses, etc. Nie Qianqian paid a total of two taels of silver.
Two taels of silver was not much for Nie Qianqian, and he could easily take it out, but Gu Xiao felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it.
Although this era attaches great importance to scholars, if there is a child in the family who can study, it will be a long-term plan for the family.
But he is a man and Nie Qianqian is a woman.
Influenced by the way his parents got along, he did not have the idea that women should not interfere in foreign affairs and should only embroider and flutter butterflies at home. However, women are meant to be loved. He should hold up the world, and his wife should be carefree. Careful, happy and enjoying life.
But now, Nie Qianqian is going to the county to sell fish, sell Ganoderma lucidum, and work as a medicine boy. She is busy in the sun and the weather...
Gu Xiao clenched his fists, suddenly realizing that Bai Wuyi was a scholar.
Since he had decided to take the scientific examination, he wanted to pass the examination as quickly as possible and go to the capital to take part in the examination.
As for how to go after going to the capital, he already had preliminary ideas. Time has passed and things have changed. I wonder how much his old friends in Beijing still care about him sincerely.
Nie Qianqian certainly didn't expect that the two taels of silver she paid for Gu Xiao would successfully inspire Gu Xiao's high fighting spirit, and in the future, create the scientific research myth since the founding of the Dayu Dynasty.
After finishing the affairs of the academy, Gu Xiao said: "There is no result yet on the class division. I will go to Tiande Academy to copy books in the afternoon."
Nie Qianqian actually wanted to say that he didn't have to work so hard. Since he had to go to the college to study, he might as well go to the college in the afternoon to get familiar with the environment. But looking at Gu Xiao's serious face, he changed his words to, "Okay."
As soon as the two of them left the college gate, they happened to bump into someone they didn't want to see, Nie Wenye.
It wasn't a coincidence, Nie Wenye was waiting for two people here. After listening to Liu Ziang's words, he was distracted throughout the whole class. After class, he wanted to find out more about Xiao Liu. Unexpectedly, he saw Xiao Liu taking two people to go through the admission procedures. It was obvious that Gu Xiao really wanted to come to the academy to study. .
He didn't care whether Nie Qianqian and Gu Xiao left Nie's house or built a new house. But when he found out that Gu Xiao came to the academy, he felt inexplicably panicked.
He kept telling himself that he was just a disabled person who could only read a few words, so there was nothing to panic about. But thinking about the many times when I saw Gu Xiao's left-hand calligraphy with flowing flowing water and clouds of smoke, I felt a little uneasy in my heart, and some strange combination was waiting here.
Nie Qianqian had never met Nie Wenye before coming to this world. She didn't have a good impression of the Nie family and grandson who was held in the palm of her hand, so she ignored him and prepared to leave without looking sideways.
Nie Wenye was about to cough twice and speak, but when he saw the two of them walking away from him as if they hadn't seen him, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
He has always had a high status in the family. How could he have ever been treated like this? He stopped the two of them in a cold voice, "Nie Qianqian!"
Nie Qianqian turned around and rolled her eyes, "Is something wrong?"
Nie Wenye had long heard from Mrs. Nie that Nie Qianqian had changed a lot and was no longer as submissive as before, but he never expected that she would have such an attitude towards him.
Considering that this was at the gate of the academy, he suppressed his anger, acted like an elder brother, and said in a deep voice: "I just heard at the academy that Gu Xiao was recommended by the county magistrate to come to the academy to study for free. "
Nie Qianqian tilted her head and replied lightly: "Then what?"
"Although Second Aunt has divorced from the Nie family, the blood of the Nie family still remains in you. As your brother, I should give you a few words of advice."
He paused and continued: "Although you are lucky and have been kind to the county magistrate, you should not repay the kindness by asking the county magistrate to recommend Gu Xiao to study in the academy. You are illiterate, so you don't understand. You don't know how much you know." A big character is just a piece of material for studying. If you let Gu Xiao come to the academy to study, it will just be a waste of resources and money. By then, he will have no achievements in academics. It will bring shame to you, sir, and it will also bring disgrace to our Nie family."
After saying that, he glanced at Gu Xiao meaningfully, only to see that he was calm and composed, not paying any attention to what he said.
A look of anger appeared in Nie Wenye's eyes. What he hated most was Gu Xiao's appearance.
Nie Qianqian laughed angrily, widened her eyes, and looked at Nie Wenye as if she were a fool.
This is the star of tomorrow that the Nie family holds in their hands. Does the star of tomorrow have this brain? I'm afraid I wasn't kicked by a donkey.
After holding it in for a long time, Nie Qianqian turned her head to look at Gu Xiao and asked seriously, "Isn't this person a fool?"
Gu Xiao was quite cooperative. He glanced at Nie Wenye and replied seriously, "His talents are indeed limited."
Nie Wenye saw Nie Qianqian stunned in place after listening to what he said, thinking that she had taken in what he said. Unexpectedly, the two of them were humiliating him like a double act. He had never been so angry before, and his face turned pale with anger, " Nie Qianqian! What are you talking about!"
Nie Qianqian ignored him and shook her head at Gu Xiao, "Not only does this person have a weak brain, but his ears also don't work well."
Nie Wenye said angrily: "You!!! No wonder grandma said she would kick you out of the house. You are simply unreasonable."
Nie Qianqian didn't like hearing these words anymore. She looked at Nie Wenye with cold eyes and said coldly: "Who are you to make irresponsible remarks in front of us? Since we have left the Nie family, we have nothing to do with you anymore. You don't You are not qualified to judge in front of me! In addition, my mother and Nie Erzhuang were divorced by the county magistrate, not the grandmother you said was kicked out of the house. You know the truth, but you dare to confuse right and wrong like this. You are not a scholar. Believe me or not. Now I’ll take you to the Yamen and say what you just said again!”
She, Nie Qianqian, is not a soft persimmon. When will the old Nie family understand that she is a hedgehog, and anyone who wants to take advantage of her will have to be stabbed hard by her.
Nie Wenye panicked. He was so angry that he couldn't speak any more. He couldn't repeat these words again in front of the county magistrate.
Nie Qianqian continued to fire: "It's not up to you to judge whether you are good enough to study. What's wrong with the teachers from your own college? Do you think your level is very high, and you can speak on behalf of the teachers?"
At this time, students were leaving school one after another. Seeing the movement here, they started to come over.
"Isn't this Nie Wenye?"
"Who is this little lady? She has beautiful face, but she has such a bad temper."
Gu Xiao didn't want Nie Qianqian to be pointed at, so he took the initiative to hold Nie Qianqian's hand and pulled her behind him, "Qianqian, you don't need to be on the same level as him."
Nie Qianqian was originally full of anger, but the moment Gu Xiao caught her hand off guard, her anger disappeared, and she could only feel the clear and soft touch on her hand.
Gu Xiao fouled! Why did he suddenly hold up his little hand?
Although Nie Qianqian was in her 30s in her previous life, she didn't have much experience in relationships. Being held by her cheap husband like this made the deer in her heart jump uncontrollably.
Gu Xiao stared at Nie Wenye with his deep black eyes, and said in a low voice without any fluctuation, "Brother Wenye, there is no need to show off your words here. A gentleman is slow in words but quick in deeds. Let's just see the truth in our studies."
Gu Xiao's one word was as devastating to Nie Wenye as all Nie Qianqian's words.
Nie Wenye was ashamed and embarrassed, but more importantly, he was angry at Gu Xiao, who looked like a superior gentleman and had a winning chance.
Why is he disabled?
There were still people watching around. Nie Wenye suppressed his anger and forced out a sneer, "I'm waiting to see what you have to say."
He walked away with anger in his heart.
Gu Xiao came to the academy to study as he pleased. He wanted Gu Xiao to fully understand the differences between people and let him know how much he weighed.
