Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

Qiongzhou Prefecture's educational undertakings are not developing well. The former magistrate still tried his best to keep up with the officials and grabbed two juren to teach them. When Tan Qian took office, he not only reduced the expenditure on education, but also taught the two juren. I got angry and finally hired two talented people.

The academic officials were also appointed by the imperial court, but the Qiongzhou mansion was too remote. In the past, they could only be assigned to the lowest-ranking candidates, or to be taught by talented scholars. The situation clearly improved when he took office as the county magistrate, but Tan Qian let everything go. Back to the original point, even worse than before.

   As a result, the number of scholars in Qiongzhou Prefecture has been greatly reduced. There are only seven scholars in the county, six of which were accumulated before, and only one was admitted two years ago.

   That is to say, no one in Qiongzhou has passed the hospital examination for two years.

   In this educational environment, scholars in Qiongzhou Prefecture could only form a group in private. Everyone who wanted to study for the imperial examinations had heard of them even if they had never met, and even if they had never heard of their own names, they would definitely know their teachers. .

Because there are only seven scholars in Qiongzhou Mansion, but the four invited ministers have never seen or heard of Gu Jingyun. After asking his teacher again, they learned that he enrolled with his uncle, and his uncle's name Haven't heard of it either.

   The four of them couldn't help looking at each other, some of them were unwilling to marry Gu Jingyun.

   also blamed them for their bad luck. They said that the partners who had partnered with each other had something to do, or they themselves delayed, and then they settled down. It was easy to find four who had not partnered with each other to guarantee each other, but there was still one less. .

   But they don't know Gu Jingyun, and they don't know the character of the other party, so how dare they easily marry each other?

Gu Jingyun is a good person, just glanced at them to know their concerns, and said: "The most important thing in the county exam is the four books and the five scriptures, a few seniors should have done the questions, why don't you give me one question each, if I have all the How about pairing?"

   The four of them looked at each other. The county exam was not deep, mainly tacitly filling in the blanks and analyzing it, but the scope was very wide. The four books, the five classics, the poems, the fu, the rituals, the sons, and the collections, who knows where the questions come from?

   Therefore, the county exam is easy to take, but difficult to take, depending on the breadth and depth of reading, as well as memory.

  If this person can answer all the questions they randomly asked, then he has real ability, and people with real ability will naturally not cheat, so what are they afraid of?

   The four of them were refreshed, and they turned around and took out books from their book bags to look for topics.

  Gu Jingyun couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. Shouldn't these books be recited by heart?

   Li Baolu glanced at Gu Jingyun, thinking that everyone is as evil as you?

   Sure enough, this is a normal person, and she is still a scholar among normal people. After all, she has memorized all the books that the teenagers brought out.

Gu Jingyun was going to be the champion. Qin Xinfang said two years ago that he had nothing to teach, and only let Gu Jingyun read the book and explain the meaning by himself. Naturally, the problems of the four teenagers were less difficult for him. He didn't seem to have to think about it. When he came out, he could solve the answer, and the four teenagers were stunned.

   One person couldn't help but ask: "Gu Xuedi's uncle is also in Qiongzhou? I wonder if they still accept students?"

  The other three were refreshed and looked at him with bright eyes.

   Gu Jingyun said with a smile: "My uncle is weak and does not accept apprentices, but if you have any questions, you can come to visit."

   "I wonder where Gu Xuedi's uncle lives?"

  Gu Jingyun raised his chin slightly and said, "Sin Village is a village, you will know as soon as you enter the area of ​​Sin Village, my uncle's surname is Qin."

   The four of them paused for a while before asking, "Why did Mr. Qin live in Sin Village?"

  Gu Jingyun said indifferently: "I was trapped and exiled to a village, so naturally I live in a village."

   All four were silent, that was the sinners, they were scholars, how could they communicate with the sinners?

   But his uncle is very powerful, Gu Jingyun has such knowledge at such a young age, if they can also ask for a lesson or two...

   Gu Jingyun no matter what they were thinking, he took out the mutual bond document and nodded, "A few senior brothers willing to bond with Gu?"

   A few people looked at each other. Although the other party had an uncle who was a sinner, if they missed him, they might not be able to find a scholar who had a relationship with each other, and the registration period would close the day after tomorrow.

   A few people gritted their teeth, took the paper to mark their names, and pressed their handprints. Five copies, one for each hand.

  Li Baolu breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that several people would not want to marry each other because of Qin Xinfang's identity.

  Gu Jingyun collected the documents, bowed to the four of them and said goodbye.

  Li Baolu hurriedly followed behind him, "Why did you mention uncle?"

  If Gu Jingyun didn't want to reveal Qin Xinfang's identity, he must have a way to hide it, not to mention those four young teenagers?

   "Our uncle will inevitably be lonely when we leave. Find him some children to play with," Gu Jingyun climbed into the donkey cart he hired earlier, and said, "Let's go, let's go to that woman and ask for a security document."

  Compared with signing documents, Gu Jingyun handed in the gift and took out the five taels of thank-you money that he had prepared earlier.

Gu Jingyun took the things and went to the county ceremony room to sign up. Zhang Yiyan had already arranged for him. The clerk in the ceremony room glanced at Gu Jingyun and signed up for him. He also instructed: "The county office will announce the seats and exam time in five days. , remember to come and see."

  Gu Jingyun got his "admission ticket" and left happily.

  Li Baolu was kicking stones at the gate of the county government in a bored manner, and when she saw Gu Jingyun come out, she jumped up to meet him, "How is it, is it done?"

  Gu Jingyun nodded with a smile, "The next thing is to wait for the exam. Just ask Zhang Yiyan to follow me tomorrow. You go to the port to find a boat, and we will leave as soon as you get the results."

  Li Baolu nodded happily, she also wanted to see the world outside Qiongzhou.

  Gu Jingyun is expected to leave for three years. Before leaving, he has to make arrangements for Qiongzhou.

Zhang Yiyan is a crime after all, life and death are in the hands of others, and many things are inconvenient to do, but his mother, aunt and uncle, and all the relatives he cares about stay here. Feel free to leave?

   So he has to make some arrangements, which Li Baolu does not need to know.

  Li Baolu didn't know what Gu Jingyun was going to do, but since he didn't want her to get involved, she would do what she could.

   Early the next morning, she went to Qiongzhou Pier to look for a boat.

   Qiongzhou Prefecture is an isolated island, separated from the mainland by a strait. This strait is like a moat, and if you want to go there, you can only take a boat. In addition to fishermen's boats and boats specially opened by boatmen, only merchant ships can carry people.

   After seeing the boats transported by the fishermen and boatmen, Li Baolu thought about Gu Jingyun's small body, and resolutely went to find a merchant boat. It would be better if they could go directly to Guangzhou, lest they have to turn to land.

   The car is also very bumpy!

  The merchant ships are big and small, and Li Baolu is looking for medium and above to ask.

   Seeing that Li Baolu was young, the steward was a little careless, and asked, "This ship is going to Guangzhou Prefecture, but we have a lot of cargo on board, and the people on board have to disembark halfway."

  Li Baolu asked humbly, "Where do you mean halfway?"

   "Guang Haiwei, we are going to supply food and water here on the way, you have to sit on the boat, one tael of silver per person."

   This is much more expensive than the 300 wen that Zhang Yiyan said. Moreover, Guanghaiwei is not close to Guangzhou Prefecture. Li Baolu calculated the time and felt that it would be dangerous to arrive at Guangzhou Prefecture for the prefectural examination before April, so they discussed: "Can you send me all the way to Guangzhou Prefecture? , we are only two people, and our weight is not much, it will not delay your shipment, we can give you more salary for the boat."

   The steward twitched the corners of his mouth, is he afraid that the two of them will not deliver goods, idiot, he is afraid that this is because it is not good to explain to the master, okay?

   Cargo ships don’t carry people, and the income from boarding people is divided among the people on the ship. The master may not know it, but it is not the same as being open and acting in front of the master.

   The steward glanced at Li Baolu with the look of an idiot, then waved: "If you want to go directly to Guangzhou, then you should go to the transportation boat."

"The draught of the transportation boat is too shallow and it is easy to be bumpy. My little Langjun can't sit on it..." This boat is currently the largest and most luxurious, and it is more secure in terms of safety, so Li Baolu was reluctant to give up, and she continued to ask: "How about you? Double our salary?"

That is one person and two taels. In terms of living standards in Qiongzhou, this is almost the cost of a family of five for a year. If you have this money, you can hire a special boat. The steward asked her curiously, "You guys. Why are you going to Guangzhou?"

"My little Langjun is going to participate in the government test in April. He is not in good health. I am afraid that he will get seasick, and your boat is the largest, most luxurious, and safest in Qiongzhou." At the end, he smiled and said: "So please let the manager be accommodating and send us directly to Guangzhou."

   The steward raised his chest proudly, pondered for a moment, and said, "If it's for the sake of the government, you can try it. Our master loves scholars the most. Wait, I'll go and find our big shopkeeper."

  The class of Dachu is strict, businessmen cannot take imperial examinations, but they cannot avoid dealing with officials in business, so businessmen love to support scholars.

   And the Bora is even more so. When Manager He heard that there was a scholar who wanted to take their boat to Guangzhou to take the prefectural examination, he left his work and stewardship without thinking.

   Seeing the little girl standing by the shore, Shopkeeper He couldn't help being startled. Who is so hearty to ask a little maid to discuss such a big issue?

   Having seen the world in the end, Shopkeeper He greeted him with a start, looked at Li Baolu with a smile and asked, "Little lady, is that your master going to Guangzhou to take the exam?"

  Li Baolu nodded again and again, looked at Shopkeeper He with bright eyes and asked, "I wonder if you can take your boat to Guangzhou directly?"
