Wang Cuizhen couldn't stop laughing. "I don't expect him to get the first place in the exam. After all, he is so young. If he really gets the first place at the age of six, wouldn't he be a child prodigy? It's the blessing of our ancestors that he can pass the county exam this time."

Wang Cuizhen said as she clasped her hands and prayed to the sky.

At noon, she only asked the cook to make some simple meals.

Because they were worried about Gu Baiyuan, no one had much appetite.

After a simple meal, Gu Shangqing rented a carriage and took everyone to the outside of the examination room early.

When they came in the morning, there were many people outside.

Now there are not so many.

Gu Shangqing found a place to park the carriage, and everyone rested in the carriage first.

After a while, other families came in carriages one after another.

"Fortunately, we came early, otherwise we would not know where to park the carriage even if we came in a carriage." Wang Cuizhen said thankfully.

After waiting for a while, the gate of the examination room opened.

Everyone in the Gu family got off the carriage quickly.

After waiting for a long time, I saw Gu Baiyuan carrying a big briefcase and walking out quickly.

However, his calves are short, so although he walks fast, he is still very slow.

From a distance, through the gate of the examination room, I saw Gu Baiyuan carrying a briefcase and walking out quickly, swaying from side to side.

Wang Cuizhen was afraid that he would lose his balance, so she hurriedly shouted: "Baiyuan, walk slowly, don't be in a hurry!"

But it was a bit far away, and there was a lot of noise at this time, so Gu Baiyuan didn't hear it.

Finally, I saw Gu Baiyuan step out of the gate and walk towards this side.

"Grandpa, grandma, daddy, mom, second uncle, second aunt, third uncle, third aunt. Sister, Bai Jin! Why are you all here!" Gu Baiyuan said happily.

"We sent you off together in the morning, so of course we have to come together to pick you up now." Gu Shangqing said with a smile.

"Get in the car first, it's close to home, and you will be home soon. Have a good rest after you go back." Gu Shangqing said.

Everyone got on the carriage again.

Li Mumu also brought a small box of snacks.

Because it was close to home and the journey was short, Li Mumu didn't bring a lot, only six.

Seeing Gu Baiyuan eating alone, Gu Baijin and Gu Xiuxiu would definitely be greedy.

So the six snacks, two for each child, were just right to eat together in the car.

Li Mumu asked them to take the snacks and poured water for the three of them, "Drink some water to moisten your stomach before eating."

"How is it? Are you hungry?" Wang Cuizhen asked Gu Baiyuan.

Gu Baiyuan shook his head while eating snacks, "I'm not hungry. Third Aunt prepared three big meat patties for me, and I still have one left."

"Third Aunt, that meat pie is really delicious, fragrant! It tastes good even when it's cold." Gu Baiyuan said, "The place where we take the exam is a series of open small compartments, which is convenient for examiners to supervise the exam. Lunch is also in there. When I took it out to eat, the candidates opposite and next to me were envious!"

"Your third aunt said that when the weather warms up, she will prepare instant noodles for you. You can eat it by soaking it in hot water. It's almost the same as freshly cooked noodles. Then you can eat hot noodles, which makes people even more greedy." Wang Cuizhen said with a smile.

"How did you feel about the exam today?" Gu Shangyong asked.

"I have answered all the questions. They are all questions that the teacher has tested on a daily basis." Gu Baiyuan said, "I think there should be no problem with my answers today."

"Just perform normally." Gu Shangyong hurriedly comforted, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You are still young." () ()

Gu Baiyuan nodded, "It would be great if I can pass the exam. If I can't, I can take it again next year."

Seeing that Gu Baiyuan was in a good mood, everyone didn't say anything else.

In the evening, Li Mumu prepared a table of food as usual.

Gu Baiyuan was tired in the examination room today.

Unlike studying at home, in the examination room, you have to stay in that small compartment and can't move for a whole day, which is very tiring.

After three days of exams, it was finally over.

Gu Baiyuan was very young and was very tired after returning home. He was already not energetic when he had dinner that night. He

went to bed early after dinner and didn't get up until noon the next day.

No one at home woke him up, because they all knew he was very tired.

"It's also thanks to his daily exercise that he has become stronger. Otherwise, he might get seriously ill after coming back." Master Guan said.

"When the spring exam comes, he will be locked in that small compartment of the Imperial Examination Hall for three whole days. He won't be able to rest well and will face huge pressure. Many people will get seriously ill after coming out." Master Guan said.

Wang Cuizhen really saw with her own eyes how tired Gu Baiyuan was after the exam.

"Yes, I heard that many candidates got sick after coming back this time." Wang Cuizhen said, "The doctors in the clinic have been very busy these days."

"From this point of view, Baiyuan still needs to continue to exercise. He can't be allowed to slack off because he is tired." Gu Shangyong said, "Exercise well and strengthen your body, which is also good for yourself."

Everyone nodded.

Not only Gu Baiyuan.

Even Gu Baijin, the same requirement.

Even if Gu Xiuxiu didn't need to take the exam, Li Mumu insisted that Gu Xiuxiu follow her to exercise.

Not just to let Gu Xiuxiu have some self-protection ability.

Li Mumu knew that women in ancient times had a hard time, and Gu Xiuxiu would not be able to bear the huge pressure not to get married in the future.

Once married, she would face the pressure of having children.

Gu Xiuxiu is still young now.

When Gu Xiuxiu is older, Li Mumu plans to find an opportunity to talk to Gu Xiuxiu, asking her not to have children so early, and to let her grow up anyway.

It is not like now, marrying and having children in her teens.

Moreover, in ancient times, especially the ladies of the family, their bodies were generally weak, so it was difficult to give birth.

It is still necessary to let Gu Xiuxiu exercise and make her body healthy and strong.

Li Mumu thought, Gu Shangqing should work harder and become a general earlier.

In the future, whether it is to let Gu Xiuxiu marry later, or even if she gets married and has children later, their family has the ability to support and back up Gu Xiuxiu, so that the other party dare not say anything.

The Gu family didn't know that Li Mumu had silently calculated so much for Gu Xiuxiu.

While waiting for the announcement of the results, General Shang brought Li Mumu another good news.

"General Li reported what you have done for the wounded soldiers to the Saint. The Saint ordered the various armies of Daxi to compile their own lists of wounded soldiers and record down those who are willing to do errands on a voluntary basis. Errand shops will be set up in various places to recruit local wounded soldiers and those who are still in the army and have not returned home."

"As for where to open the shop and how to open it, it is still up to you. As before, the court will not interfere." General Shang said, "General Li means that you can also take this opportunity to ask for some preferential treatment."

"We don't need money. The errand business in Chong'an is booming and has started to make a profit now." Li Mumu said.
