Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

Mrs. He sat in Xu's house for a long time, talked a lot, and was still tireless.

However, Gu Yunxi saw that it was getting late and was worried about his three sons at home, so he quietly reminded He Feng, and He Feng reminded Mrs. He, and then he got up to say goodbye.

Madam Xu wanted to invite them to dinner, but Gu Yunxi refused with a smile: "Next time, next time."

Old Master Xu knew that Gu Yunxi still had three young sons at home, so he stopped forcing her and said to Madam He and Master He, "Sister, brother-in-law, when you have time, come back home and visit."

Mr. He and Mrs. He nodded, and exchanged a few words of greeting at the door. When they found it was too cold outside, they quickly got on the carriage and went home.

When I got home, the meal was already prepared in the kitchen.

Lu Jianchuan had just returned from duty, and he looked very happy, as if there was some good news.

But during the meal, Lu Jianchuan said nothing, and Gu Yunxi didn't ask since everyone was there.

When they returned to the room, before she could ask, Lu Jianchuan said, "Wife, do you know? I don't know how the emperor heard what Prime Minister Chen did."

Gu Yunxi was stunned: "Ah? Prime Minister Chen? What's the matter?"

Lu Jianchuan looked at his wife's silly and cute look and found it very funny. He patiently explained, "Didn't you tell me before that Prime Minister Chen's subordinates were collecting protection fees on the busy street?"

Gu Yunxi thought about it carefully and it seemed that this was really the case!

"What will the emperor say when he finds out?" Gu Yunxi asked hurriedly.

Lu Jianchuan smiled and said, "An imperial censor impeached Prime Minister Chen and mentioned this matter, and also produced witnesses and evidence."

"Prime Minister Chen was speechless and was severely reprimanded by the emperor, who ordered him to reflect on his mistakes in seclusion in his palace for a month."

Gu Yunxi sighed and asked, "What about a month later?"

"Do you think Prime Minister Chen will be able to return to the court in a month?" Lu Jianchuan sneered.

Now, Prime Minister Chen's image in the emperor's mind has plummeted. I am afraid that no matter what he does or says in the future, the emperor will be skeptical.

Only then will Prime Minister Chen slowly feel the pain and discomfort of not being trusted!

Gu Yunxi also thought of this and smiled while covering his mouth.

It's really interesting that Prime Minister Chen's wife and Chen Baozhu will have to behave themselves in the capital from now on.

If Master's wife knew this news, she would be very happy!

Gu Yunxi's guess was correct. At this time, in Minister Yuan's residence, Mrs. Yuan learned about Prime Minister Chen's affairs and her eyes were full of ridicule.

"Okay, let's see how arrogant Madam Chen will be in the future! How Chen Baozhu will continue to bully my niece! Humph!" Madam Yuan snorted coldly.

Minister Yuan looked at her lovingly and shook his head, "Okay, okay, Madam, you have said this no less than ten times tonight. It's late and we should go to bed."

Mrs. Yuan then lay down with a smile on her face and fell asleep with a smile on her face.

......

Time flies, and the day of the provincial examination has arrived again.

With his previous experience in mind, Gu Yunhong came to stay at the inn near Gongyuan a full month earlier this year.

This time, it was naturally Gu Laoer who accompanied him. Gu Laoer was so happy that he finally didn't have to work in the fields every day. However, the money they brought with them was not much, barely enough to last until the end of the provincial examination.

So, apart from staying in the inn, they also got their own food from the stalls outside.

On the day of the provincial examination, Gu Laoer, with a smile on his face, sent Gu Yunhong to the Imperial Examination Hall.

Nine days passed in a flash, and the provincial examination was over. Gu Laoer hurriedly asked Gu Yunhong: "Yunhong, do you think you have a chance this time?"

Gu Yunhong's eyes dimmed. How could he answer? He had no idea!

"Dad, could you please not ask yet? We'll know when the time comes. Let's go and pack up and go back first." Gu Yunhong said, packing up in silence.

Gu Laoer said, this brat, can't he even ask a few questions?

Forget it, the results will be out soon anyway, and we will know then. The father and son packed their bags, took a horse-drawn carriage back to Yang County, then took a bullock cart back to Jihu Town, and then returned to Dongpo Village.

When he got home, Gu Yunhong locked himself in the room and ignored everyone.

Wu just wanted to ask him about the exam, but couldn't find anyone.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Wu decided to give up. However, Wu Xiong from the town asked his wife, Mrs. Yao, to ask several times, but every time, Gu Yunhong found an excuse to go back into the house and refused to answer.

Yao's eyes flashed, and she went back to town without asking any more questions.

On the day when the results of the provincial examination were announced, the people sent by Yao were already waiting at the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall.

It was not until the results were announced that the man looked over and over again to make sure that he did not see Gu Yunhong's name, and then he hurried back to Jihu Town to report to the Yao family.

Yao sneered and said, "It seems that we won't have to subsidize them anymore in the future."

At the same time, at the old Gu family, the second son of the Gu family came back with a sad face. When Mrs. Wu saw him, the smile on her face froze.

"Second brother, Yunhong...didn't win again?" Mrs. Wu asked with difficulty.

Gu Laoer nodded slowly, said nothing more, went to the utility room, picked up his hoe, and went to work in the fields as if he had resigned himself to his fate.

Mrs. Wu took several deep breaths, went to the kitchen, and drank a bowl of cold water. Only then did she feel better.

By the time of dinner, Mr. Gu also knew that Gu Yunhong had failed the exam again. He was displeased and said, "The family doesn't have any extra money to pay for Yunhong's education. Second brother, you know this, right?"

Gu Laoer nodded slowly. He knew that this trip to the provincial capital to take part in the provincial examination had emptied the family's last bit of savings.

Old Master Gu said in a cold voice: "It's good that you know. Starting from tomorrow, Yun Hong will go out and find something to do. Yun Zhi will come back and work in the fields with your father."

After all, Gu Yunhong had the title of scholar, so he could find a decent job, such as an accountant or a teacher.

But Gu Yunzhi was not good at studying and had no achievements. If he did not study, he would have to come back and work in the fields with his father.

Wu opened her mouth and said, "Dad, I'll go find my eldest brother tomorrow and ask him..."

Old Master Gu glanced at Mrs. Wu and said nothing.

Mrs. Wu assumed that Mr. Gu agreed, and she returned to her parents' home the next morning.

Little did she know that Yao had already discussed with Wu Xiong and would no longer provide Yunhong with financial support for his studies.

Wu Xiong looked embarrassed: "Sister, you know that it's very difficult to do business at home now. Alas, I really can't do anything."

Because of the incident between Gu Yunyan and Li Decai, the Wu family's business plummeted. Wu Xiong also had some resentment towards the Wu family. After all, the relationship between brother and sister was not strong enough.

Mrs. Wu came out from her parents' home with a dejected look on her face.

Gu Yunhong looked at her mother and knew what was going on. She went to the academy to pack her things, returned home, and went out to look for a job the next day.
