Gu Dajiang didnât feel too good. He felt that he had a smell on him. Didnât Yi Junkun feel it when he stood beside him?
Yi Junkun saw his strange expression and thought that he really did not do well. He quickly comforted him. âThe county examination is held once a year. Many people are very nervous the first time they take the examination. But after all, after the first time, it wonât happen again. Uncle Gu, letâsâ¦â
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Yundong and the others hurried over.
âFather, how are you? Are you alright?â
She did not ask about the results. After all, Gu Yundong was very confident in her father.
But when she saw Gu Dajiangâs expression⦠why did he look so listless?
Before Gu Dajiang could say anything, two candidates walked past him. They covered their noses and pointed at him with smiles.
âThatâs him. The test shed is by the latrine.â
âItâs him. Thatâs too tragic. Look at him. Heâs so old. I reckon he has take the examination many times but never passed. This time, he was unlucky enough to be assigned to the toilet. Thereâs definitely no hope this year.â
âIsnât that so? Not long after noon, I looked up and realized that he had put down his brush. He must have given up on himself.â
âItâs too tragic. If it were me, I definitely wouldnât be able to take it and would vomit.â
Gu Dajiang was speechless. If you want to discuss others, shouldnât you walk further away? Why did you stand beside me and not lower your voice at all?
He glared at the two of them.
The two examinees were shocked and quickly pulled each other away. âHeâs angry from embarrassment. Letâs go, letâs go.â
Gu Yundongâs eyes flashed with disbelief. No, it couldnât be???
Although she had made preparations, she did not expect the misfortune to really land on her father.
The rest of the Gu family also felt that Gu Dajiang was too pitiful, but they should be comforting him at this time. Why did they want to laugh?
Yi Junkunâs eyes widened even more. So⦠Uncle Gu did not look well because of the bad location of the examination hall? Then how did he do?
Gu Yundong was the one who calmed down and suppressed the smile on her lips. She looked up and saw her fatherâs angry expression. After a moment of silence, she sighed and patted his shoulder. âFather, you have to thank me.â
âLetâs go home.â
At this moment, Gu Dajiang only wanted to go back and take a shower.
After bidding farewell to Qin Wenzheng and Yi Junkun, he left in a hurry.
Gu Yundong and the others looked at each other and immediately followed him into the carriage.
Almost everyone in Yongfu Village knew that the head of the Gu family, Gu Dajiang, was going to participate in the county examination. All of them were looking forward to it.
Some people hoped that he would pass, while others hoped that he would fail.
However, no matter what they were thinking, there were many people waiting at the entrance of the village.@@novelbin@@
When they saw the Gu familyâs carriage, they hurriedly ran forward and asked, âDajiang, how did you do?â
âDajiang, I heard that this county examination is very difficult. How did you do?â
âIt doesnât matter if you donât pass. Itâs held once a year. You can continue to take the exam next year. Anyway, your family can afford it.â
Gu Yundong frowned slightly. She lifted the curtain and said to the people outside, âEveryone, disperse. Itâs only the first round. How can you know the results so quickly after the exam?â
âWhen will we know the result?â someone asked. After all, it had been a long time since an Elementary Scholar appeared in Yongfu Village. They didnât even know how the county examination would be conducted.
âIn about half a month.â
What? That long?
Gu Yundong ignored everyone else and the carriage quickly returned to the Gu residence.
