Ever since she became Gu Yao's servant, her status in the family has risen sharply. Her mother now tries to please her every day, hoping that she can become more and more successful.

They all knew that Gu Yao was the most promising person in Gujia Village. Her mother even wanted her to give the money to her family. How could that be possible?

This money was given to her specifically by the eldest lady in the hope that she could save it and marry and have children.

She had already vowed to stay by the mistress' side and serve as her servant for the rest of her life, and even wanted to be her housekeeper if the mistress continued to visit her.

Now she is considered a relatively promising person in Gujia Village.

Gu Xiaoshu has made Gu Yao very satisfied since she came to the capital city. She is indeed very attentive. Even the meals that Gu Yao eats are prepared by Gu Xiaoshu herself in the kitchen.

Gu Xiaoshu had heard her mother talk about the scientific expedition before, so she was worried that Gu Yao might not eat well and that would affect the scientific expedition.

Wang Yang and the others said that her book boy was very good. If they didn't know that Gu Xiaoshu was from her clan, they would probably want to buy him.

And on the night before the imperial examination, Master Li called them over again and gave them psychological counseling.

I hope they won't be too nervous and just treat it as normal. Because they all have basic skills, Master Li is still confident about the exam.

But it is better to be safe than sorry. If something goes wrong and I fail the exam, it is just luck.

The next day, the weather was nice and Gu Yao felt relieved.

After all, it is August now, and they are afraid that there will be a sudden rainstorm and they will suffer in the examination room.

The questions in the academy examination were indeed more difficult than those in the provincial examination, but Gu Yao was not afraid. After all, Master Li had given them lectures before, and she herself was also very calm.

She didn't want to farm in the countryside all her life, so in order to avoid the hardship of farming, she could only climb up. Even if she passed the imperial examination, she could live a carefree life.

The college entrance examination would take many days, so Gu Yao spent all this time in the examination room.

August was still a bit hot, so Gu Yao felt that she smelled very bad during these few days. On the last day, it rained heavily. Fortunately, she brought a piece of cloth, which she hung on the ceiling to provide some coverage.

Others can't mess with me. Many people's test papers got wet, and if they were in this state on the last day, there was no hope for them.

Seeing this, Gu Yao was really glad that she was well prepared, otherwise she would have no hope of passing the college entrance examination this time.

After the papers were collected, Gu Yao almost collapsed on the ground. She felt so uncomfortable that she had to take a good shower and rest for a while after leaving the examination room.

She fainted as soon as she left the examination room. Fortunately, Gu Xiaoshu was there and carried her back.

Seeing Gu Yao like this, Gu Xiaoshu was very scared and hurried to find a doctor. However, it was very difficult to find a doctor in the examination room now.

Fortunately, Gu Xiaoshu was quick-witted and spent a lot of money to invite an old doctor over.

After the doctor felt Gu Yao's pulse, he said, "Your wife is exhausted and has a cold, probably because of the rain. I'll prescribe some medicine for her. Please take good care of her. If she doesn't have a fever, that's fine. If she does, give her some more medicine."

Gu Xiaoshu was very scared, especially when he saw Gu Yao fainted, he was worried that Gu Yao would not be able to get up this time.

She used to think that people with knowledge were glamorous and beautiful, but she never expected that reading books could actually cost her life.

While she was waiting outside the examination room, she saw many candidates being dragged out and losing their lives. She was afraid that one of the candidates who was dragged out was Gu's mother.

Master Li was very worried when she saw that her students had caught a cold after coming out, and she stared at them closely. Fortunately, none of them had a fever, so she was lucky.

After waking up, Gu Yao felt that she almost lost half her life this time, so she rested in bed for a few days.

She even asked the doctor to prescribe some health-enhancing medicine for her. She took one pill every day, and finally her strength slowly recovered.

"Xiaoshu, thank you for this time. If it weren't for you, I would have caught a cold, and it would have gotten worse."

Gu Xiaoshu said embarrassedly: "Madam, don't say that. As a book boy, I should do this. Besides, I am your sister. Don't worry, I will be more experienced when I go to the provincial examination next time."

Gu Yao sighed: "I don't know if I can pass this time, I hope I can. I don't want to go through this experience a second time. I'm really scared of taking the exam."

"Madam, you will definitely pass the exam. You are such a good student, so you must be a scholar."

Gu Xiaoshu shuwled deeply when he thought about what had happened in the past few days. Yes, the exams were so daunting. Fortunately, she didn't study, otherwise she wouldn't be able to hold on. Who knew that studying could cost one's life?

Gu Yao and the others suffered so much this time that none of the five of them wanted to go out, and most of them stayed at home to recuperate.

If they pass the exam, they will definitely want to continue taking it, so a good health is very important.

Fortunately, Master Li understood them, so he would arrange for a doctor to come and see them every day.

After a week, their bodies were completely recovered, and Gu Yao took Gu Xiaoshu for a walk around the city.

Gu Xiaoshu was so shocked by the prosperity of the capital city that he didn't know how to walk. Fortunately, he saw a lot by following Gu Yao.

He even used his own money to buy a lot of things, planning to give them to Gu's mother and others when he returned.

"Xiao Shu, let me buy my mother's things. You should save your money. I will find you a husband when you are old enough."

Gu Xiaoshu said immediately after hearing this: "Madam, please let me buy it. I have a good life in the Gu family because of you. It is my intention to buy it for my aunt and the others."

Gu Xiaoshu was an ungrateful person, so he naturally knew who she relied on to live her current life, so he was very grateful to Gu's mother and others.

Anyway, she said she has a lot of money now, and she didn't spend much. She saved it all, so she could still afford to buy some things for Gu's mother and others.

Seeing her stubborn look, Gu Yao had no choice but to agree, but she thought about giving her a big red envelope during the Chinese New Year.

Gu Xiaoshu was really attentive. Not only did he take good care of her, he also rushed to do the work when he was at home, and even helped a lot with the family fields.

Even Gu's father and mother said that she was a good person and they would find her a husband when she was old enough, so that she would have a real family in the future.

The results would be announced in two days, and Master Li was very excited, walking around in the yard.

If they weren't afraid of being bumped into when Master Li was looking at the list, she would probably have gone to the front to look directly.

Fortunately, Gu Xiaoshu and Qian Xiumin's servant went to check the list together.

Although they were nervous, they were at least calm. Zeng Fan smiled bitterly, "Master, I know I won't be on the list. I was a little upset when it rained before, so I wrote a mess. I may disappoint you this time."
