Neither of them took this episode seriously, but the little hands holding each other caused waves in their hearts.
If they were an ordinary couple, they would have been like the left hand holding the right hand, without any feeling, but they are not a normal couple...
Gu Xiao only realized what he had just done after Nie Wenye left. He had never held another girl's hand before. Gu Xiao felt Nie Qianqian's little hand wrapped in it, and an indescribable strange feeling occupied his brain. .
Today's folk customs are relatively conservative, and couples do not hold hands on the street. The students at the entrance of the academy were about to disperse when they saw Nie Wenye leaving, but their attention was attracted by the hands held by the two.
"These two people were actually husband and wife."
"Otherwise? Why, Brother Liu, if we are not husband and wife, do you have other thoughts?"
"Stop teasing me."
"With a woman like this, I would also be willing to hold hands with her on the street."
Seeing that people were watching, Nie Qianqian gently moved her hand away and glanced at Gu Xiao. She saw that his expression remained calm and his expression was natural, but his ears were red. She was secretly amused. It was you who took the initiative to hold hands. I was still embarrassed. you.
The softness in his hands disappeared, and Gu Xiao felt a little lost.
"I'm going to the hospital."
"I'm going to copy the book."
The two people's voices rang out. Nie Qianqian didn't hesitate. She and Gu Xiao confirmed the direction of the medical center before heading to the medical center.
Gu Xiao did not move, still staying in place, watching Nie Qianqian leave until she was no longer visible.
He raised his hand and placed it on his heart.
The place is beating enthusiastically, like a powerful drum beat, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...
——
Master Jiang rushed to Dean Qiu's house in a hurry. Others only knew that the dean was not in the college these days, but they did not know where he had gone. Master Jiang and the dean were teachers and students, and they had a closer relationship. He knew that the dean did not go to the college because his wife was seriously ill. Repeatedly, Dean Qiu stayed at home to take care of his wife.
Logically speaking, Dean Qiu should not be disturbed at this time, but Gu Xiao's matter was important, so Master Jiang had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to see Dean Qiu.
Master Jiang knocked on the door of Dean Qiu's house. Seeing that he was a regular customer, the doorman showed him the door.
Dean Qiu lives in a house with three entrances in the western suburbs. The house is not very luxurious, but it is elegant everywhere. Before entering the hall, you need to walk through a quiet bamboo forest and cross an arch bridge over flowing water, which makes people's mood slowly follow the environment. clam down.
Although the dean of the best academy in a county has no official status, he has a high social status. In this era where imperial examinations are valued, Dean Qiu's voice and influence cannot be ignored. That is why Tang County magistrates must be courteous when meeting him. Three points.
Even if you become an official in the court, if it is not a hereditary big family, your children and grandchildren will not be able to inherit the official status, and they will still have to take the road of scientific examination. I have great respect for the dean; even more so the wealthy businessmen, scholars, farmers, industry and businessmen. , although the businessmen are rich, their social status is far behind that of the scholarly family of that generation. The more this happens, the more they hope that their nephews can obtain fame and lead the whole family across social strata, and they have no regard for the dean of the academy. It shouldn't be.
Master Jiang entered the main hall and saw Dean Qiu. Because he was resting at home, Dean Qiu was dressed in regular clothes, but he could not hide his demeanor of being in charge of the academy all year round. There was a slight sadness between his eyebrows.
"Jiang Li, why are you here?"
"Dean, I know I shouldn't bother you. We have encountered a difficult matter."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Dean Qiu really couldn't think of anything that Vice Dean Li couldn't handle, and he needed to find him.
Master Jiang described to Dean Qiu how Vice President Li asked him to supervise Gu Xiao's exam and what happened next. When Master Jiang said that Gu Xiao had answered exactly the set of test papers he had given and all the answers were satisfactory, he was filled with excitement. His face was surprised and doubtful.
That set of test papers is not a normal set of test papers. It is equivalent to a set of test question banks that he produced based on the scope of the Qiuwei exam. He is the one who set the questions, so he knows the best. Is there really anyone who can master all of them in the first test? Answer?
He hurriedly unfolded the examination papers that Jiang Li had brought and browsed them quickly.
Not long after, he stood up quickly, the hand holding the examination paper trembling slightly, and said anxiously: "Follow me to the study room, I want to mark this examination paper carefully."
Jiang Li followed Dean Qiu to the study room. Dean Qiu's steps were so fast that Jiang Li almost couldn't keep up.
In the study room, Dean Qiu was correcting the test papers in front of the desk. Jiang Li sat down on the guest chair. He came all the way to find Dean Qiu in a hurry. He hadn't had lunch yet, so he couldn't help but feel hungry at this moment. He ate a few snacks on the desk. , the attention is always on Dean Qiu.
Dean Qiu was very slow in grading this examination paper. Sometimes he frowned, sometimes he relaxed, sometimes he was thoughtful, and sometimes he smiled. Master Jiang was confused by what he looked at. What kind of expressions are these? This one Can so many emotions be seen on the exam paper? But he didn't dare to disturb him. He was a student of Dean Qiu, and now he was a master of the college, so he couldn't break the etiquette.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Dean Qiu finally finished reading the last examination paper. He let out a long sigh of relief and put down the examination paper. He didn't regain consciousness for a long time, and his palms were soaked with sweat.
Master Jiang couldn't help it anymore. He was impatient, so he stood up, approached Dean Qiu, and asked curiously: "Dean, how are you? Do you have 80 points?"
Even though Gu Xiao filled up the entire paper, Master Jiang never thought that he would get full marks.
Some of the questions in this paper are question and answer questions. If you know the answer, you can get full marks. If you don't know the answer, you can only leave it blank, like a modern fill-in-the-blank question. However, some questions are brief description questions. Each candidate’s answer will be different depending on their understanding of the topic and their depth of thinking. They are equivalent to modern political essay questions. It is difficult for reviewers to give full marks to such questions.
He watched Gu Xiao answer all the questions and write a brief summary of the questions eloquently, and then he made a bold guess that he had a score of 80.
Dean Qiu did not answer his question directly. Instead, he seemed to have recovered and murmured: "Jiang Li, you did the right thing by coming to find me today."
Master Jiang's face was full of questions, "Dean, what do you mean? How many points is it?"
Dean Qiu focused his eyes on the paper, his usually calm face flushed with excitement. He slapped the desk with his palm and said loudly: "Full marks!"
Master Jiang gasped, dumbfounded, and asked in disbelief: "Are you sure?"
This was extremely rude to say to his teacher, which showed how shocked Jiang Li was.
Dean Qiu had no intention of paying attention to these details at this time, and said firmly, "I'm sure, this child is the first perfect score in the history of the institute, and is our greatest hope for Fulin County in the exam next autumn!"
