Chapter 9: Protect shortcomings (1/2)

Chapter 9 Short Protection

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of Xiao Liulang's exam.

Gu Jiao woke up early, made noodles, steamed a bowl of porcelain white noodle buns, and cooked a pot of wild mushroom soup.

The wild mushrooms were collected on the mountain. The first time they were collected has been eaten. These were freshly collected on the mountain yesterday, and there are still a lot of them left. She plans to carry them to the market and sell them later.

In fact, she also picked the fungus, but the fresh fungus is poisonous and must be dried before it can be eaten.

While waiting for the meal, she went back to the house to take medicine.

The wounds on her wrist and back of her head are all right, and the medicine is almost finished. The ointment is relatively long-used, and there is more than half of it left.

On the other side, Xiao Liulang also got up.

Gu Jiao knew that he was studying late last night and didn't bother him in the morning. Unexpectedly, he was still so early.

Gu Jiao arranged the bowls and chopsticks and filled him with a small bowl of wild mushroom soup. This was because he was worried that he went into the examination room to find the latrine, which was not full.

I don't know if it is Gu Jiao's illusion. I always feel that the small eyes that Xiao Liulang glanced over inadvertently are a bit resentful.

The exam will take a whole day, and Gu Jiao filled steamed buns and water.

After a while, she stuffed ten copper plates into her bag again, without knowing what she thought of.

Xiao Liulang watched her cram the copper plate, his eyes moved, and he didn't speak.

Gu Jiao handed him the packed bag: ”I have paid for the car, and I have called, so I can send you directly to the academy.”

”Hmm.” Xiao Liulang replied, took the bag, and walked out the door with his crutches.

Gu Jiao looked at his lame leg and resisted the idea of ​​sending him to the village entrance. Presumably he was not happy either.

When Xiao Liulang arrived at the entrance of the village, the second uncle Luo’s bullock cart was already parked under the locust tree, and there were many people sitting in them, all of them were villagers who took their own small vegetables and eggs to sell in the town.

When the villagers saw him, they all smiled and snorted at him.

Xiao Liulang is a scholar. He looks cold on weekdays, but he doesn't have much air. Anyone who wants to read a letter or reply to a letter will come to him. Although Gu Dashun is also a scholar, Gu Dashun is in a private school during the day and goes home at night to study hard. The villagers rarely disturb Gu Dashun.

There is one last seat on the ox cart, which should be reserved for him.

Xiao Liulang was about to go up, when he felt a figure dangle by, blocking him in front of him.

The opponent holds the bullock cart with one hand, and the other figure behind him with one hand: ”Shunzi, come on!”

is the mother and son of the Zhou family of Gu’s Dafang.

The Zhou clan blocked Xiao Liulang strictly, and did not give Xiao Liulang the opportunity to get on the bullock cart at all.

In the ox cart, an aunt said: ”Shun Zi his mother, Liu Lang came first.”

Gu Dashun's movement in the bullock cart stopped.

He turned his head, looked over his mother, and glanced at Xiao Liulang.

Xiao Liulang's eyes are cold, and his expression is indifferent.

Zhou hummed indifferently: ”I have a test for Shunzi! What happened to him first? Can I delay my Shunzi test if he comes first?”

Everyone in the village knows that Gu Dashun is a promising man. He was admitted to the county school a while ago. He was a scholar. I heard that you don't need to kneel and salute when you see the county grandfather.

Although Xiao Liulang is a good guy, he is not as important as Gu Dashun's future.

If Gu Dashun has developed, it will not only give the Gu family a glorious ancestor, but also the entire Qingquan Village will be dazzled by him.

Everyone is silent.

”That...” Second Uncle Luo said wryly, ”Rokuro... also went to the exam.”

When Gu Jiao came to see Ershu Luo last night, he made it clear to Ershu Luo that Xiao Liulang was going to take an exam at a college, and Xiao Liulang had trouble with his legs and feet, and told him to send someone there. For this, he was given two more copper plates.

Second Uncle Luo was quite puzzled, and the little Gu's idiot who didn't deal with Xiao Liulang, talked and acted like a different person.

But before he had time to ask more, Gu Jiao left.

Hearing that Xiao Liulang was also taking the exam, Zhou didn’t worry at all. Can Xiao Liulang’s exam compare to her son’s?

Instead, Gu Dashun looked at Xiao Liulang in surprise: ”Are you... also going to Tianxiang Academy?”

”Hmm.” Xiao Liulang responded indifferently.
