"I'm away for the next few days, so you must take good care of yourself. If you feel unwell, don't endure it."

"Although it is spring now, we must not be careless at night and catch a cold."

"You crave the cool weather, but bear with it for now. Once the baby is born and you've finished your confinement period, summer will arrive. Then I'll buy you the best iced milk bowl in Shengjing."

......

Lu Zhaozhao listened to Gu Jingzhe's chatter, stretched out two fingers and pressed them on Gu Jingzhe's lips, saying, "Stop."

She had heard these thoughtful and caring words countless times.

Especially these past few days when Gu Jingzhe never stopped talking.

"You don't have to worry about me, I can take care of myself. Besides, I have my mother and sister-in-law and so many people serving me at home. The most important thing for you now is to go to the examination room. Don't think about anything else when you get there, just focus on answering the questions." Lu Zhaozhao said to Gu Jingzhe.

Gu Jingzhe's eyes turned red as he said, "We're going to be apart for a while."

Since marrying Lu Zhaozhao, Gu Jingzhe has never been separated from Lu Zhaozhao for even a day.

Lu Zhaozhao was speechless. She felt more and more that her husband had the temperament of a little spoiled brat.

We will be separated for a while, right? It’s only six days.

Moreover, he had to go home between the provincial examination and the palace examination.

She didn't even shed tears, but the grown man's eyes were red.

What is this?

However, despite all the complaints, Lu Zhaozhao's heart was filled with sweetness.

Lu Zhaozhao said softly, "The imperial examination, the palace examination, six days passed quickly."

Gu Jingzhe lowered his head and put his face on Lu Zhaozhao's belly, saying, "Little thing, be good these days and don't make your mother suffer."

Lu Zhaozhao chuckled.

Gu Jingzhe said worriedly: "Why don't you let Taohua come back and sleep with you these few days."

Lu Zhaozhao is afraid of thunder. It has been raining these days and spring thunder often sounds at night. Gu Jingzhe is afraid that the spring thunder will scare Lu Zhaozhao.

"Taohua and her brother-in-law just got married, and they are in perfect harmony. How dare you break them up?" Lu Zhaozhao said.

She has several personal maids, and it doesn't matter who accompanies her.

At this time, Gu Xiaoxue and Gu Honglian walked in. Gu Xiaoxue said, "Brother Jingzhe, don't worry. I will sleep with my sister-in-law and I will make sure to take good care of her."

Gu Jingzhe's brows relaxed, and he said to Gu Xiaoxue, "That couldn't be better."

Gu Honglian agreed, "I can make the bed right next to Zhao Zhao's. Don't worry about Zhao Zhao, just focus on your exams. I'm counting on you to come out top and help me find a good husband who'll piss off Fan Tong to death."

Gu Jingzhe: “…”

Gu Xiaoxue took Lu Zhaozhao's arm and said to Gu Jingzhe, "Brother Jingzhe, Auntie asked us to come and see if you're ready. It's time to leave. We're afraid that if we're late, traffic will delay us from entering the examination hall."

Lu Zhaozhao urged Gu Jingzhe, "Hurry up, let's go."

Gu Jingzhe had completed all the preparations for going to the examination hall. The coachman was waiting at the door, and the servant was standing by with the pens, ink, paper, and food needed for the exam.

Tong Huaqiong and the other members of the army who were sending their children to take the exam stood in the yard waiting for Gu Jingzhe and Lu Zhaozhao to say goodbye.

Gu Jingzhe and Lu Zhaozhao walked out of the house.

Seeing so many people waiting to take him to the examination room, Gu Jingzhe felt quite embarrassed.

"Mom." Gu Jingzhe came to Tong Huaqiong, his voice slightly choked with sobs.

Tong Huaqiong said, "I've seen all your hard work. Hard work pays off, and that's the most true thing about studying. I believe you'll definitely pass the college entrance exam this time."

"Don't worry. You might be able to answer questions that others might not, and you might not be able to answer questions that others might not. Just go at your own pace."

Gu Jingzhe nodded and said, "I understand."

Gu Jingzhe was a little nervous at first, but after hearing Tong Huaqiong's calm and encouraging voice, Gu Jingzhe's nervousness was soothed and his heart quickly calmed down.

The second uncle of the Gu family said, "Jingzhe, you are the most promising child in our Gu family. Relax and do well in the exam."

Originally, the second uncle of the Gu family wanted to say a few more words, but he thought that he could not read a single word and had no experience to teach Gu Jingzhe, so he gave Gu Jingzhe a warning and stopped talking.

"Jingzhe will wait for you to come out, and we will give you a celebration banquet."

The village chief of Qinghewan, who had come to attend Gu Taohua's wedding and had not returned yet, spoke with a smile.

He firmly believed that Gu Jingzhe would be able to pass the imperial examination.

"Let's go quickly. Many students have already started going to the examination hall. It's better to go early than late." Lu Zhaoyang urged.

As the top scorer of the previous session, everyone automatically made way for Lu Zhaoyang as soon as he opened his mouth.

Everyone sent Gu Jingzhe onto the carriage.

Gu Dashu, Gu Dahan, Lu Zhaoyang, Su Chengmin, Nie Xiaofeng and others personally sent him to the examination room.

"Why is my heart pounding?" said the second aunt of the Gu family as she watched Gu Jingzhe's receding figure.

The second uncle of the Gu family said, "Why are you so nervous? It's not you who's taking the test. Don't worry, Jingzhe will be safe this time."

Zhao said, "It's really tiring to have to take the exam for three consecutive days."

Tong Huaqiong continued, "That's right. They eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the examination room. Many students come out exhausted, and some even faint."

Fortunately, it was the spring examination, not the summer examination, otherwise the dry food I brought would have become sour and tasted bad, which would have been even more difficult to endure.

......

During the days when Gu Jingzhe went to take the exam, the atmosphere in the Gu family was sometimes excited and sometimes depressed.

People like Uncle Gu and the village chief Liu Tielian have never been to school and do not have enough awareness that there are always people better than you in studying. They don't even have the option of failing the exam in their minds.

Lu Zhaozhao was not so optimistic, because she had seen Lu Zhaoyang's classmates who were good at studying but failed the exam. When she heard Uncle Gu and Liu Tielian imagine Gu Jingzhe passing the exam, she couldn't help but advise them to calm down.

So everyone began to worry about what would happen if Gu Jingzhe failed the exam.

Whether you pass the exam or fail, you have already arrived at the examination room and the results can only be revealed when the results are announced.

During these three days, everyone could only rely on guessing.

Tong Huaqiong appeared very calm.

According to Tong Dajiao's memories from her previous life, Gu Jingzhe was selected as the third place.

I don’t know what this life will be like.

In his previous life, Gu Jingzhe was destined to be the top scholar, but was chosen by the emperor as the third place, purely because of his good looks.

Although the third place winner is always the one who is triumphant in later film and television dramas, Tong Huaqiong knows that when one is really in the situation, the one who attracts the most attention is the first place winner.

Who would want to be the mother of the third place winner when you can be the mother of the top scorer?

Tong Huaqiong prayed in her heart, hoping that the emperor in this life would not make a mistake and let the top scholar return to his position.

During the three days of the imperial examination, Tong Huaqiong lived a normal life.

All partners and competitors in the entire Shengjing business world knew that Gu Jingzhe had taken the exam.

Everyone is waiting to see whether he can pass the exam.

There are those who are always good at using dirty tricks in business competition. They hate Tong Huaqiong for entering Shengjing's business in a strong manner. They want to sabotage Gu Jingzhe's exam in the spring examination, but they have no way to do it and can only pray secretly that Gu Jingzhe will fail.
