Seeing Gu Yao frowning, Gu Xiaoshu said, "Don't worry, my lady. You will definitely pass the exam. You work so hard, and we are just at the last step. I have great confidence in you."

Her eldest wife is very educated. If she fails the exam, then no one else can pass it either.

Listening to Gu Xiaoshu's confident words, he smiled and said, "Don't tell others about this, or else people will say that your wife is too conceited. I just want to pass the exam."

"You will definitely be able to pass the exam. We traveled such a long way to study abroad, and even studied in the prefectural school for more than two years. Even Madam Zheng said that your name must be on the list."

Gu Yao also felt a little excited when she heard her words. She didn't care about how high she ranked in the exam, as long as she could be on the list.

The juren also took the Sunshan exam, but she was already very satisfied.

The next day, Zheng Shuyi came to the yard and said with a smile, "I heard from Xiaoshu that you had caught a cold. I was wondering if you were feeling better. I came here, but since you were sleeping soundly, I didn't disturb you."

Zheng Shuyi looked at Gu Yao carefully, and felt relieved when he saw that her complexion looked much better.

She had never thought that so many people would be present at the imperial examination and she felt scared.

Gu Yao was well prepared, so even though she caught a cold, at least her foundation was not damaged.

"I'm much better now. How are you, Sister Zheng?"

"I'm not afraid of the cold, and I listened to you and brought a lot of charcoal, so I'm fine. But I also slept for a long time. I hope we can all make the list this time, so we don't have to suffer a second time."

"So you are in good health, but you still need to stay at home more. The weather is not warm yet, and I plan not to go out these few days and just rest at home."

"You did the right thing. Even I feel a little weak after the test. Let's just stay at home. How about we play chess? I haven't played chess with you for a long time."

Because they had to prepare for the exam, they didn't go out to play and could only read books. Now that the exam is over, Gu Yao is in a good mood. "

Gu Xiaoshu served them both a cup of tea, then sat by the fire and watched them play chess.

"Ayao, if you pass the exam, will your family also come to Beijing?"

Zheng Shuyi thought about Gu Yao's family. It seemed like they were always following her, wherever she went. She was quite envious.

When you go to Gu Yao's home, you will know that her family is very warm, there is no intrigue, and the whole family is paying attention to Gu Yao.

Although she wanted to become a relative of Gu Yao for the sake of benefits, she later really envied the atmosphere of her family, so she introduced her cousin to Gu Yao.

Although Zheng Hongqiu and the others are cousins ​​from the side branch, the three of them have a good relationship.

"Yes, I am the only daughter in the family and the mainstay of the family, so they will follow me wherever I go. I have already made an agreement with them when I left that if I pass the exam and stay in the capital, I will buy a house and bring them over."

"It would be best if your family could be reunited. By this time next year, Hongqiu and her friends will be married to your brothers. In that case, it depends on whether they will come directly to the capital."

"We'll see when the time comes. I don't know if Hongqiu and the others can pass the exam, but with their knowledge, they should be able to pass. Regardless of whether they pass or not, we'll let them get married next year."

Gu Yao would not break off the engagement just like others did when they failed the exam. After all, both of them were decent people and they were already very good to her younger brothers.

She didn't want Gu Yun and the others to be second or third husbands, so marrying into the Zheng family was the best outcome.

Zheng Shuyi listened to her words and looked at her sincere eyes and knew that he was not mistaken about her.

Zheng Hongqiu and the others would give respect to Gu Yun and the others. After all, she was the legitimate daughter, and it was her responsibility to manage the side branches.

"Don't worry, Ayao. If Hongqiu and the others treat your brothers badly, I will definitely intervene. After all, your two brothers are members of the Zheng family after they marry into our Zheng family. We will never allow others to bully them. What's more, you are my good sister, and I will not stand seeing them being bullied."

Gu Yao picked up a cup of tea and handed it to her, smiling: "You are worthy of being my good sister. I am also very relieved that my two younger brothers will marry into the Zheng family. What's more, I am still there. Even if they marry someone else, I will still be their support."

After hearing this, Zheng Shuyi raised her eyebrows and stopped talking. She knew that Gu Guyao was very good to her family and was not the kind of man who would be forgotten once married.

When the time came for the quick announcement of the results, Zheng Shuyi went directly to Gu Yao's house and waited for the announcement with her.

Gu Xiaoshu had already gone to see the list. They originally wanted to see it in a restaurant, but Gu Yao didn't want to go.

After all, there are people coming and going in restaurants nowadays, and it would be embarrassing if you fail the exam.

For your own peace of mind, you should just wait at home. Even if you pass the exam, someone will come to announce the list, so it’s good to wait.

The Zheng family had already sent people there, so Zheng Shuyi didn't need to worry about it. She just talked to the customers to relax.

"Ayao, you think you can pass the exam, right? Actually, I'm a little bit unconfident."

"It's rare that Sister Zheng doesn't have confidence. I think you can pass the exam. After all, your knowledge is among the best in the prefectural school."

"This Spring Examination is different. There are so many people in the Spring Examination, and so many were eliminated at once. That's why I don't have confidence."

"I do believe you. Actually, I am the one who lacks confidence. After all, I only got the last place in the provincial examination. If I fail this time, I will try again in three years."

Gu Yao has never been someone who would be defeated by failure. As the saying goes, failure is the mother of success.

She is still young and her family is wealthy, so she can still support herself and continue to study for higher education.

"My two ladies, you both passed the exam. I knew you two could pass it."

Gu Xiaoshu ran into the yard incoherently. Her clothes were a little torn and her hair was messy. It was obvious that she had just had a fight with someone, and one of her shoes had fallen off.

She looked very excited and looked at them with excitement.

Zheng Shuyi stood up and said with a smile, "Okay, I knew we two could pass the exam. A-Yao is so happy."

Then he threw ten taels of silver to Gu Xiaoshu and said, "Use this money to buy food. It will bring you some good luck."

Gu Yao was also very excited after hearing this. This was the Spring Examination. It felt like getting into a 985 university in modern times.

However, it is different from the ancient times where as long as you passed the exam you could become a superior person.

"Sister Zheng, I actually passed the exam."

"We both passed the exam, and we can become officials together in the future. I said you can do it."

Zheng Shuyi hugged Gu Yao and smiled proudly. She thought that Miss Gu was pretty good and could pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi.
