Chapter 2 The road ahead is long
After dinner, Gu Yunji came out of the main courtyard and went to the courtyard of his biological mother, Aunt Zhao. He had a bath today and no school.
As soon as he entered the yard, he was surrounded by people.
"Brother!" A pretty little girl hugged Gu Yunji and looked at him with a smile. This is her younger sister Gu Yunqiao, who is ten years old this year. She is also the daughter of Aunt Zhao. Different from her original body, as
The youngest child in the family is quite favored and has a very out-of-touch temperament.
Seeing his sister's lively smile, Gu Yunji felt better and touched her head lovingly.
"Okay, how old are you? There are differences between men and women. What's it like to pester your brother like this?" Aunt Zhao was very happy when she saw her children harmonious and happy. But she was worried about the strict rules and still taught her a lesson with a straight face.
Gu Xue, a new era young woman from the 21st century, is very dissatisfied with feudal concepts such as "men and women have different seats at the age of seven".
In her previous life, her family had a strong preference for sons over daughters. As the first child in the family, she survived by luck. Later, she had two younger sisters. One was sold and the other was strangled to death by her father.
Perhaps it was her own fault that her mother never got pregnant again. Her father later adopted a cousin from his uncle's house, and the pain was as painful as his eyeballs. Gu Xue was admitted to college, but the whole family did not allow her to study, just because of studying
They think the girl is not worth the money. In the eyes of her family, her non-biological cousin is much more important than her biological daughter.
Fortunately, she had a student loan and a little money from her high school teacher for transportation. She took her admission letter and secretly ran away from home to report to school. Unfortunately, before her beautiful life had even begun, she was hit by a car and died.
As luck would have it, Gu Xue, who was persecuted by the clan concept in her previous life, has now become Gu Yunji, who has to rely on the clan. In the ancient feudal dynasty, it was difficult to break away from the clan. What's more, for Gu Yunji, who is now a man,
Clan power is not only a scourge, but also a help.
Before he could say a few words to his sister, Gu Yunqiao was urged by Aunt Zhao to pay her respects to Mrs. Wang.
Aunt Zhao was born into a poor family and was later hired as a concubine in the Gu Mansion. Although she gave birth to a pair of children, she was still cautious and cautious in doing things, for fear of upsetting the master and his wife.
Now that her son is in front of her, she has nothing else to say. She just nags him over and over to ask him to strive for success, study hard, and not to make his father angry.
Gu Yunji listened patiently and obediently for a while, then excused himself and went back to his room to warm up the book, got up and left.
Walking out of Aunt Zhao's yard, Gu Yunji breathed a long sigh of relief. Today, the world is governed by benevolence and filial piety. If you want to take the imperial examination and have a good official reputation, you must be filial to your parents. Whether you are your aunt or your concubine, even if you are acting, you must act respectful in front of them.
appearance.
After returning to his room, Gu Yunji walked to the desk and looked through the homework he had done.
In the homework book, the original person had written down almost every sentence in Confucius' class, even the modal particles. As he went to the back, the handwriting became more and more scrawled, which showed that the master was upset because he had no time to write.
Seeing this, Gu Yunji couldn't help but laugh. Yes, the college examination is held once a year. It took me seven years from the time I was admitted to school at the age of six to the time I was admitted as a child student at the age of thirteen. It can be said that he has a dull temper, and is even dull.
.
The college examination and the county examination are held in September every year, while the township examination and the joint examination are held every three years. It turns out that the next township examination should be held in August of the third year of Jingfeng, and the joint examination should be held in March of the following year. Because of Kaien
In the subject, both examinations are scheduled to be held this year, with the provincial examination in March and the general examination in September.
However, the rural examination and the joint examination are still too far away from Gu Yunji now. The most important thing is to strive to pass this year's county examination and become a scholar as soon as possible.
The county examination is still five months away, so there should be enough time. Gu Yunji, who also changed his destiny through reading in his previous life, is very confident about this.
In fact, for a scholarly family like the Gu family, the county examination is not difficult. The examination content is all about Confucian classics and the scope does not go beyond the "Four Books". Policy theory will not be covered until the provincial examination. As long as you memorize the books by heart, you can ask your family to
If an experienced elder explains the key points of answering the questions, there will be no problems.
Fortunately, Gu Yunji graduated from the Chinese language and literature major in his previous life, so he had no problem writing with calligraphy. In addition, he was only a fourteen-year-old boy, and his handwriting wasn't much better. Otherwise, just by picking up a pen and writing, he would probably be
It's about to reveal its secrets.
Gu Yunji has a very good memory. He has memorized the four books half-way through time travel. However, he has never passed the county examination and does not know what the questions are like. Even if he has memorized the books well, he still feels a little unsure.
Seeing him staring at the book with a frown on his face, the young boy Xudong asked tentatively: "Third Young Master, you encountered something you don't understand while studying? Why don't you ask the eldest Young Master?"
Hearing this, Gu Yunji's eyes lit up. How could he have forgotten this?
There are only three people in the family who have passed the county examination, one is Gu Yunxiao, the other is Gu Yunlin, and his father Gu Kaizhen.
Needless to say, Gu Yunlin's own homework is only so-so, and his experience may not provide much reference value to Gu Yunji. The last time Gu Kaizhen took the imperial examination was more than ten years ago. Gu Yunji cannot guarantee his level. What's more, Gu Kaizhen can't guarantee his level.
As the head of the family, Gu Yunji felt a little frightened when he saw him.
The eldest brother, Gu Yunxiao, has a gentle temperament, is of the same age as him, and is easy to talk to. Besides, he has always been very serious in his studies, and his experience should be able to help Gu Yunji.
Thinking of this, Gu Yunji got up and went to find Gu Yunxiao.
The provincial examination results had not yet been released, so Gu Yunxiao did not go out to play, but stayed in the study to study. Seeing Gu Yunji coming, he was a little surprised.
Gu Yunji used to stay in his room all day long like a bored gourd. He would shrink a little every time he spoke to him. Now he actually came to him. It seemed that he was really different from before.
After the ceremony, Gu Yunji did not waste any nonsense and said straight to the point: "Brother, I am preparing for the county examination in September. Although I am already familiar with the Four Books, I have never seen the questions and I don't know the examiner's preferences, so I am a little unsure.
I wonder if my brother has any relevant reference books that he can lend me for detailed reference?"
Hearing this, Gu Yunxiao showed a happy smile. He turned out a few books on the bookshelf next to him and said to Gu Yunji:
"My dear brother, let's talk about borrowing or not. If you need these books, just take them back."
As he said that, he introduced the books in his hand to Gu Yunji one by one: "This is a collection of test questions in recent years, and this one is a collection of excellent essays. There are also this set of four books with my own annotations and experiences.
Maybe it will be useful to you."
Gu Yunji took the book and flipped through it briefly. The collection of test questions and sample essays contained real questions and articles from the county examination. It can be said to be a contemporary five-year and three-year simulation of the college entrance examination, which he can use now.
The fourth book is a bit old, and the edges of the pages are a little curled. It can be seen that the original owner must have read it many times. As Gu Yunxiao said, there are many annotations made by him in the book, compared with the dull notes made by the original owner in the homework book.
, these annotations are obviously much more profound.
Seeing that Gu Yunji was looking at it seriously, Gu Yunxiao added: "I bought the test questions collection and model essay collection a few years ago. They are a bit outdated now. If you have time, you might as well go to the bookstore and buy a copy of the latest mock test questions collection.
.”
Gu Yunji nodded in agreement, then held the book in his arms with great care, thanked Gu Yunxiao seriously and stood up to leave.
Back in the room, Gu Yunji couldn't wait to start reading the book given by Gu Yunxiao seriously. The more he read, the more fascinated he became. Except for eating, he almost never went out.
