First Lady of the Crown Prince

  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.

  Xiao Liulang was already a child when he first came to the village. At that time, Gu Dashun was also a child. Later, Gu Dashun was admitted as a scholar, and Xiao Liulang was still a child, so Gu Dashun didn’t like Xiao Liulang that much.

  "You haven't gone to a private school for half a year..." Gu Dashun shook his head.

The meaning of    is obvious, Xiao Liulang couldn't pass the test at all.

  And Uncle Luo, who had originally planned to persuade a fellow villager to give Xiao Liulang a place, silently suppressed the words back to his stomach.

  Since you can’t pass the exam, you don’t have to worry about it.

  Second Uncle Luo took out the purse.

  To the market, there were two copper plates, and three copper plates in a little place. Gu Jiao gave two more, a total of five copper plates.

  Second Uncle Luo counted the copper plates back to Xiao Liulang, Gu Dashun was pushed into the bullock cart by Zhou.

  It’s just that he hasn’t sat down yet, a thin, bare hand stretched out from behind him suddenly, grabbed his back collar, and pulled him off the bullock cart!

  Gu Dashun is two years older than Xiao Liulang. He is nineteen this year. He is a sturdy young man, but he was staggered by that, and he almost didn't fall to the ground.

   Zhou was so scared, he hurried to help Gu Dashun.

   "Who!"

  She cursed and turned back.

   Then, together with everyone, he saw the skinny and small Gu Jiao.

  Gu Jiao's eyes were cold, with an unruly chill.

  Everyone was stunned.

   "Gu Jiao, why are you crazy!" Who is Zhou's boldness, but it turned out to be this little fool.

"Take the copper plate back." Gu Jiao didn't care about Zhou at all, but looked at Uncle Luo, whose hands were frozen in the air, and frowned impatiently. "I decided on the bullock cart last night. You can regret it. , Refunded everyone's car money."

   "What do you mean?" Zhou asked.

   "Literally, Xiao Liulang can't get on the bullock cart today, so no one is allowed to get on the bullock cart." Gu Jiao said.

   "Why are you?" an aunt hummed.

  Gu Jiao slowly took out the sickle from behind: "Just because I am a fool?"

  When everyone saw that the knife face turned white.

Zhou, who wanted to rush to pull Gu Jiao's hair, was too scared to step forward.

  Fool...Fool can do everything.

  But fools didn’t want to see Xiao Liulang before, so why would they be unable to live for him and the Gu family, whom he has always been close to?

  Not to mention the doubts of the villagers, even Xiao Liulang's eyes flashed a little bit of astonishment.

   "If you want to invite Mr. Gu, please hurry up." Gu Jiao said, blowing the sickle that was polished to light by herself.

   Zhou's really wanted to go.

   was stopped by Gu Dashun.

  It’s impossible to reason with fools, and it’s not good to delay the exam.

  Although Xiao Liulang would also miss the exam, Xiao Liulang could not pass the exam, and if he missed it, he would miss it. He is different.

  Finally, Second Uncle Luo thought of a way and asked Zhou to spend money to buy the dishes of one of the villagers, and the villagers gave the seat to Gu Dashun.

  Gu Jiao doesn’t care whose seat Gu Dashun bought.

  However, in order to prevent another accident halfway, Gu Jiao carried a sickle on her back.

  The ox cart has no more seats for her.

  She dragged her thin and small body, walked for more than a dozen miles, and sent Xiao Liulang into the examination room safely.

  　Rokuro: Why is it so good to me?

  　　 Jiaojiao: You look good.

  　　Rokuro:...
