"I heard that this ink is very valuable. Isn't it a bit of a waste to give it to me?"

Gu Yulang looked at Xie Tingzhou somewhat embarrassedly.

The truth is that he has already received too many favors from Xie Tingzhou, and it would be inappropriate for him to take such a valuable thing from him again!

"Brother, we are one family and we should keep our differences. I wish you a successful start!"

Xie Yiyao looked at the happy family and swore secretly in her heart that she would never allow what happened in her dream to happen in reality. Even if their family was cannon fodder, whoever followed them would kill the cannon fodder.

Who made the rule that those so-called sons of destiny can climb up unscrupulously by stepping on the corpses of others!

She, Xie Yiyao, refused to agree!

At this moment, Xie Yiyao suddenly had an idea. She had always been unwilling to have anything to do with Feng Junyi, but she and Feng Junyi were already in the same boat.

In the original book, Feng Junyi also died early. As long as Feng Junyi, the first cannon fodder to die, did not die, these little cannon fodders would not die either!

She wants to help Feng Junyi secure his position as crown prince, and she also wants to watch Feng Junyi rule the world!

She wanted to see whether Heaven would allow Feng Junyi, a man who cared about the people of the world, to be the king, or Feng Junqi and the heroine, who didn't care about the lives of the people and were bent on conquering all directions, causing constant wars in the world and displaced people, to be the kings!

If Heaven's will really insists on allowing those who disregard human life to be kings, then Heaven's will not be far from destruction.

If the way of heaven is destroyed, then by then no matter if they are cannon fodder or the sons of luck, they will all die!

Anyway, the worst that can happen is that I will die. Why not fight against the will of heaven?

....

"Ha ha!"

A scholar kept blowing on his hands and muttering in his heart, why is the weather so cold this year!

It’s a pity that they can only wear long robes and not padded jackets when entering the venue. He was really frozen to death and his hands were stiff!

Being locked up in a small cell, he could only watch the officers walking back and forth outside through the small window.

It was obvious that they were feeling a little uncomfortable from the cold. They would rub their hands together in anticipation from time to time. Some officers could not help but stamp their feet, but they would stop immediately because all noise was prohibited in the examination room.

Fortunately, his hands were already frozen, so the candidate moved the paper aside and decided to stand up and walk around to warm himself up!

Gu Yulang's condition at this moment was not as uneasy as the other candidate. He had already circulated his internal energy and did not feel cold at this moment.

Today is the second day of the imperial examination. He had already written three drafts of contemporary essays yesterday and two more today. Gu Yulang looked out the window and calculated the time and it should be afternoon already.

Gu Yulang turned his attention to the next question, "The question is: 'What should I do when I am short of food and clothing in the cold winter?'"

Gu Yulang looked at the question again in disbelief!

This is the last question of the examination, and also the one with the most important score!

But he can answer this question!

No! It was a topic that his niece accidentally discussed with him a few days ago. At that time, he proposed a lot of solutions, and his niece also gave him some other ways to improve it, which made him suddenly enlightened!

This question actually appeared in the examination room for the joint examination. It was simply giving him free points!

Gu Yulang took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, then picked up the pen and wrote on the draft paper at an extremely fast speed, devoting his whole body and soul to answering the questions!

After Gu Yulang finished the draft of the last question, he put down his pen and breathed a long sigh of relief.

At this point, his body and mind just felt extremely relaxed!

He was so absorbed in what he was writing that he didn't notice that the light was getting dim and it was almost time to turn on the lights.

Gu Yulang decided to call it a day and have a good rest.

Tomorrow is the last day, and he has plenty of time to copy the draft he has written in the past two days!

.........

Lin Zhixue was tossing and turning anxiously and couldn't sleep. Today was the day of the imperial examination and Gu Yulang had already entered the examination room. Would he win the first prize in one fell swoop like he did back then?

impossible!

Lin Zhixue stood up suddenly, his pale face looked like a ghost under the moonlight!

He is a rare genius who can win the championship as a farmer's son!

What kind of person is Gu Yulang? When we went to school together, he couldn’t recite as fast as me, couldn’t write as good poems as me, and couldn’t learn as many characters as me!

Even Gu Xiucai expressed regretfully that Gu Yulang's talent was far inferior to his own!

With Gu Yulang's talent, he would definitely not be on the list!

Humph! So what if he ends up like that!

Thinking of this, Lin Zhixue seemed to feel better. His heaving body slowly calmed down and he looked at the roof with empty eyes.

For some reason, he kept thinking about the past recently, thinking about the days when Gu Yingxue and he were in love. After thinking about it, it seemed that those days were the most comfortable time in his life.

At that time, his father-in-law valued him and his wife was gentle and virtuous. He had not yet experienced the intrigues in officialdom and did not know the darkness of human nature.

At that time, he just thought that if he studied well, he would be invincible...

He was the most confident at that time in his life. He felt that he could do anything and he just wanted to become famous after trying it!

Those were such great days!

But later, he came to the capital, and the capital was so prosperous!

He gradually lost himself in the prosperity of the capital...

Gu Yulang had no idea that Lin Zhixue stayed awake all night because of him.

He slept comfortably, and the next day he felt refreshed and finished copying the drafts he had written two days ago neatly. His highly tense nerves finally relaxed.

Then he gently blew on the paper in his hand. Thanks to the four treasures of the study sent by Xie Tingzhou, there was not a single smudge on his paper.

Gu Yulang checked the paper carefully again, and only rang the bell after he was sure there were no mistakes.

As the sun set, Lin Zhixue hid in a corner of the crowd, trembling, watching the candidates coming out one after another, trying to find Gu Yulang.

For some reason, he always wanted to take a look at Gu Yulang's expression after he came out of the examination room. He felt that Gu Yulang must have come out with a sad face!

But he wanted to come over and see Gu Yulang’s dejected expression with his own eyes!

Suddenly, Lin Zhixue saw Gu Yingxue, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked extremely wealthy. She was being carefully supported by Xie Tingzhou and was anxiously looking at the exit for the candidates.

Xie Tingzhou seemed very nervous about her and protected her from time to time to prevent her from being bumped by others.

Behind Xie Tingzhou and Gu Yingxue were Xie Yiyao and Xie Yichen.

Lin Zhixue looked a little dazed as he watched the happy family. He looked at his shabby robe. This half-new robe was the best clothes he could wear, but compared with Xie Tingzhou, he looked extremely shabby!

Lin Zhixue only felt colder. He tightened his collar and looked at Gu Yingxue who was being carefully protected by Xie Tingzhou.
