time passed quickly
It was already evening when Gu Bai came out of the Academy.
He declined the invitation to eat in the Academy, mainly because the Academy scholars were too serious when eating, which made Gu Bai feel uncomfortable.
On the way back to the inn, Gu Bai admired the night sky of the prefecture while thinking in his heart
The imperial examination was imminent.
Gu Bai was still a little nervous. After all, his talent was all based on his ancestors in his previous life. If he really wanted to create something original, he would be thankful if he could even enter the circle.
The education in his previous life only allowed Gu Bai to familiarize himself with some poems.
As for the essay, Gu Bai had never read it before. He had only learned how to write an essay in the county academy.
However, writing an essay was just a matter of how to write the beginning, how to write the middle, how to write the end, and some words.
If he really wanted to write, Gu Bai believed that he would not be able to write a peerless essay.
However, just because I can't write it doesn't mean that I can't copy it from my previous life, as long as I don't feel awkward!
Gu Bai did not study the writing style of the article, but he thought of a mysterious person in his heart.
"Noble"
This was what Li Ming, the son of the prefect, had mentioned today.
Who exactly was it that kept showing goodwill to him? What was its motive?
In fact, some time ago, there were inexplicable gazes spying on him. Thinking about how many people were rejected after the annual sacrifice, no one dared to come again.
Gu Bai had some ideas.
Now that I think about it, I should have been stopped by the "noble"
However, if that was the case, then he would definitely take action after the imperial examination. He was not a passive person.
When he was reading in the Academy today, Gu Bai had read about the two paths of scholars after the imperial examination, especially the choices of modern scholars.
If he wanted to survive in this world, it was most important to understand the general interests of scholars, especially since he was a scholar.
It would be ridiculous if he made a mistake in the future because of some common sense.
If there was no third path, Gu Bai would definitely want to teach. After all, being a teacher was not wrong. The ones who were wrong were the disciples.
Being an official is not suitable for Gu Bai. It's too annoying to cheat each other.
However, whether it was teaching or being an official, if one wanted to enjoy life in peace, one had to improve their strength. Strength was the foundation.
The struggles in the royal court were all about forming cliques, opposing civil and military officials, power, economy, and all sorts of other factors.
But to put it roughly, it was actually a game of kings.
A wise ruler would reason with you, but a tyrant would flip the table with you.
Fortunately, the current empress was a reasonable person.
Gu Bai learned about this from the recent rumors.
........
Passing by a corner
However, just as he walked out, two figures happened to appear in front of him.
One was Li Ming.
One was Liu Zhengde.
Liu Zhengde came out of the House of Red Sleeves and wanted to go back to the inn to rest, but before he could enter the inn, he was pulled out by Li Ming to look for Gu Bai.
The general idea was that my second aunt has a daughter who admires Gu Bai and wants to see if she can be betrothed to Gu Bai as his wife. When Liu Zhengde heard this, he thought that this was a good thing!
Therefore, the two of them planned to go to the Academy to find him.
"Greetings, Brother Gu!"
"Greetings, Senior Brother!"
The two of them were so respectful that Gu Bai was a little surprised.
"Junior brother, brother Li, if you have something to say, just say it. You guys are too polite.”
Gu Bai smiled and spoke directly to the two of them.
When the two of them heard this, they could not help but smile. After all, Gu Bai's personality was like this. He studied hard for ten years and was a gentleman who was magnanimous.
If he really played tricks on Gu Bai, Gu Bai would probably cut ties with him immediately.
It was precisely Gu Bai's open and frank style that made people feel good about him, and also inexplicably feel a little more reverence.
Li Ming's voice continued.
"Brother Gu, you're really famous now. Everyone in the South Manor knows about you, and even the entire Great Qin knows about you.”
"Especially since rumors say that you're comparable to the Sage of Poets, Tai Bai, and that you only have one wife. Do you know how popular you are now?”
Li Ming said excitedly.
"What do you mean?"
Gu Bai was curious.
"Your wife has been conferred the title of First Rank Madam. According to the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, Brother Gu can marry another wife. Therefore, many young ladies from noble families are making a fuss about not marrying anyone but you."
Li Ming was so envious that his face turned red. Those who didn't know better would think that he wanted to get married.
Gu Bai wasn't too happy after hearing so much news.
In Great Qin, it was quite a happy thing for men to get married.
However, Gu Bai had long been influenced by the concept of monogamy in his previous life. He had even promised Qiaoqiao that he would only be with her in this life.
shook his head
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If he refused, who knew how many women would be heartbroken because of him?
My damn charm!
Seeing Gu Bai shake his head, Li Ming thought that he was influenced by his teacher. Just as he was about to say a few words of advice, Gu Bai interrupted him,
"Brother Li, I appreciate your kindness. However, I am determined to protect the world and am willing to follow the example of my ancestors to protect the human race. It is enough to have a wife."
Li Ming was stunned for a moment, and a sense of shame suddenly appeared in his heart. How could a talent comparable to a poet saint be tainted by the secular world like his father said?
Liu Zhengde saw that the two of them were embarrassed and quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Brother Li, my senior brother is deeply in love with sister-in-law. Moreover, we haven't established a career yet. How about letting sister-in-law consider this matter in the future?”
Li Ming's eyes lit up.
Yes, you have great ambitions and deep feelings, but you wouldn't reject your wife's offer to marry you, right?
In Great Qin, the inner court was run by the wife. If her husband did not spend money after he became famous, his wife would be laughed at for being immoral.
Thinking of this, Li Ming looked at Liu Zhengde with admiration and cupped his hands in thanks.
"Brother Liu is right."
"Brother Liu, Brother Gu, you will be going to the capital for the imperial examination tomorrow morning. Today, I will be the host to give you two a farewell dinner."
Gu Bai and Liu Zhengde looked at each other. Since they had already said so much, it would be unreasonable to reject them again.
The two of them nodded,"Then it would be impolite for us to refuse."
At the banquet, the three of them exchanged drinks and chatted happily until Liu Zhengde was no longer drunk.
After Li Ming returned, news of Gu Bai's lofty and far-sighted character and pure heart spread again. For a time, everyone praised the human race for having such a child!!
an uneventful night
The next day, when Gu Bai and Liu Zhengde arrived at the prefecture's Teleportation Formation Hall, the rest of the people who were heading to the capital had already arrived.
Seeing that the time has not come
Liu Zhengde, who thought he was knowledgeable, began to introduce him to Gu Bai.
"Shixiong, Shidi went to the capital with father to do business and Youxin took the teleportation array.
Look, when the hexagonal triangular formation in the center of the teleportation formation lights up, we can stand on it. Then, you only need to close your eyes and open your eyes to reach the capital.
Gu Bai nodded. The doubts in his heart were completely resolved.
It meant that when Gu Bai had just transmigrated, his predecessor had already remembered that the Great Qin Empire was twice the size of the Blue Planet. At that time, Gu Bai had wondered how they had traveled so quickly.
Now that he saw the teleportation array, he instantly understood.
a moment
A middle-aged man who looked like a scholar walked in. He took out a piece of jade and placed it in the center of the teleportation array. He said directly,
"It's time for everyone to go up!"
Gu Bai followed closely behind Liu Zhengde, feeling as if he had entered a state of emptiness.
When I open my eyes again
The scene in front of him stunned Gu Bai.
