The golden-yellow, transparent and slightly blue wine, accompanied by the unique aroma formed by the infusion of medicinal materials, and the aromatic and mellow taste linger on the tip of everyone's nose.

After Gu Lingze filled the jug, he poured a cup for everyone.

The old lady looked at the wine in the glass and said: "The color of this wine is so crystal clear. It is pleasing to the eyes."

Still thanking the old man for raising the glass, after everyone respected the old man and the old lady, they toasted and drank together.

As soon as the wine was tasted, Xie Xiru tasted a mellow and slightly sweet ice-cold taste, and then felt soft and slightly bitter, mild and pure in his mouth.

After swallowing, there is still a faint fragrance of bamboo leaves in the mouth, and the aftertaste is endless.

After drinking a glass, Xie Xiru opened his eyes after thinking about it, and found that the table was completely lively.

Wine is something that everyone loves it, from the emperor's relatives, civil servants and generals, down to the common people, traffickers and pawns.

Although Xie Xiru and Xie Luocheng are not as fond of drinking as the three of the Gu family, they also like to have a drink or two on weekdays.

Today's wine, Xie Xiru dared to guarantee his official career, even the emperor had never drunk it.

"Brother-in-law, drink less this time, you will have more chances in the future." After speaking, Xie Luocheng's hand on the flagon became more and more forceful.

"Gu Feirui, I remember my mother taught you to respect your elder brother since childhood."

"I'm your younger brother, why do you never let me go! Last time Dad withheld grandfather's jar of wine, you also got a share, don't think I don't know!"

"..."

The scene instantly became quiet.

Xie Xiru narrowed his eyes, "Gu Feirui, repeat to me what you just said."

Gu Tianhua cleared his throat at this moment, "Father-in-law, my son-in-law suddenly remembered that the right servant of the Ministry of War had something to discuss, so he took a step ahead."

"..."

In the end, this incident ended with the Gu family, father and son, copying the filial piety scriptures in the study until late at night.

Time flies like water, and in the blink of an eye, it will be the day when Xu Mingyan will take part in the examination.

In modern times, Gu Lingze would have wondered if Gu Feirui had installed a monitor in their house, why would this person come to report as soon as he cooked food.

The beef soup that has just been boiled is ready to be cooled and then frozen with saltpeter.

After smelling the smell, Gu Feirui went into the kitchen, picked up the noodles on the side, broke off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Bah, bah, what is this?"

Gu Lingze couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Who told you to eat like this?"

Turning around, he ordered a bowl of beef noodle soup for him on the stove, and Gu Feirui finished it deliciously after picking it up.

Gu Lingze watched him eating, and said, "Why don't you call me brother in the future, and I'll make delicious food for you every day."

As soon as Gu Feirui heard it, he shook his head and said: "No, no, this is the bottom line of principle, and you must not back down."

Gu Lingze smiled. It was just a joke anyway, so he didn't take it to heart.

"Why did this noodle look like that before it was put into the pot?"

"This is dried noodles." Then he explained to him the production process and easy-to-storage properties of dried noodles.

Gu Feirui suddenly became serious, "Can I take some of this back and show them to Dad?"

Gu Lingze tilted his head and said, "Of course."

Gu Feirui took the noodles and left in a hurry.

On the day of the examination, before the fourth watch, the three of them got up.

After a busy day, have breakfast.

Gu Lingze checked the luggage carefully again. The carriage was also prepared in advance. After loading everything into the carriage, the three of them went straight to the Gongyuan.

There is no difference between the Gongyuan in the capital and the Gongyuan in Fucheng.

It's just that the scene is bigger, so Xu Mingyan is no stranger to it.

Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo helped Xu Mingyan carry his luggage, trying to save his strength.

When it was time to go in, the two handed over everything to Xu Mingyan.

Then he didn't say much, just patted his shoulder lightly.

Xu Mingyan nodded at them, then turned and walked in.

The process of the general examination and the rural examination is generally the same.roll call, body search, semicolon shed.

It's just that this time I have explained the existence of saltpeter again.

"This is the medicinal material prepared by the family because they are afraid of the heat of the students. If you feel unwell, you can use it to soak in water to drink."

The soldier in charge of the inspection nodded, and the matter was over.

The exam is still three consecutive exams, one for three days.

On the day when it was over, Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo came to wait in front of the Gongyuan early.

This time Xu Mingyan was unlucky and was assigned a leaky house.

Fortunately, Gu Lingze made preparations in advance and brought him a raincloth, otherwise the test paper would be dirty and he wouldn't even be able to finish the test.

After receiving the person, the three hurried home, and Xu Mingyan fell asleep after eating.

After waking up the next day and taking a shower, the three of them sat in the hall talking after breakfast.

Gu Lingze asked him how the exam was going this time.

"The topic is not bad, but..." Xu Mingyan frowned hesitantly when he said this.

"What? Did something happen in the Gongyuan?"

"During the exam, I always felt that there was something wrong with the patrolling soldier."

"Tell me." Zhao Chengmo said seriously.

"He always looks at me furtively. I didn't pay much attention to it before, but one time I was about to go out of the dormitory to get water, and when I looked up, I found that he was looking at me again."

"So I became more vigilant and hid the test paper under the vermicelli when I went out, but when I came back, I saw him standing at the door of my dormitory."

All three of them pondered in deep voices. If it was a big event, that person didn't do anything in the end. If it was a trivial matter, there were a lot of weirdness in it.

Strange things need to be solved with unusual methods, so Gu Lingze decided to divination.

Celestial masters in the present and ancient times are all familiar with the Book of Changes, all know Fengshui, and all know how to wish you.

The content of the five arts can be mastered in one way.

Among them, the five arts refer to the five veins of metaphysics... The fortune telling of mountain doctors.

The way of divination focuses on inferring the good or bad of an event, which is divided into Yi.Liuren, Qimen Dunjia and Taiyi number four categories.

Divination, auspicious selection, and surveys all come from these four categories.

Gu Lingze looked up at the sky. It was about Si time, so he rehearsed it using the method of year, month, day and time. At this time, the time was facing the Tianwen Palace.

Out of Xu Mingyan's innate horoscope, Gu Lingze used Guiguzi's finger pinching divination technique, and kept pinching in the palm of his hand.It looks like the legendary pinch fingers.

Years, months and ugliness are not in conflict, Jia and Yi wood are used for use, Zimao is punished, and Chen Xu is in conflict.

This hexagram is very complicated and contradictory. In order not to increase Xu Mingyan's psychological burden, Gu Lingze said a few words that were neither serious nor serious.

Xu Mingyan was a little worried at first, but after hearing what he said, he felt relieved.
