Gu Shouxin saw that the mother and daughter did not speak. He continued, âThe situation in Great Zhou is similar to the situation in Great Yan, where I lived before. Based on the Gu familyâs situation, I plan to take the imperial examinations to give you stability. Of course, itâs not all because of you. Most of the reason is still because of me. This is my plan. Letâs talk about you. Oh, right. Where are you from, Gu Nian?â
Gu Nian felt like she was being questioned by her brother. Her brother was their local leader. She sat up straight in an instant and said, âI used to be called Gu Nian too. Iâve been from China since 2020. However, this is an era that doesnât exist in history. My nephew made it up.â
Gu Shouxin sized Gu Nian up and frowned. He didnât understand what she meant.
Cai Xiaolian laughed in her heart. She carefully explained to Gu Shouxin, âWell, 9,000 years old. Gu Nian means...â
Gu Shouxinâs brows gradually unfurled, he said incredulously, âA world in a book? There are really all sorts of strange things in this world! I think all of you came here with me. Itâs been three days, and none of you can go back. Why donât we treat this place as a real world? Since Gu Nianzhi said that our arrival had changed Xin Xinâs fate, why donât we take this opportunity to change the fate of the four of us in the book? What do you think?â
Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nianzhi nodded without hesitation. âOf course!â
Gu Shouxin smiled. âItâs already winter,â he said. âIâve sorted out the memories in my head. Next February, I can participate in the student exam, then the provincial and provincial examinations, and the general examinations. Iâm confident that Iâll pass every time, but itâll take two years. What about all of you? What are your plans?â
Gu Nianzhi tried not to look at Gu Shouxin as if he was an idiot. âThe ancient imperial examinations arenât that easy. Can you guarantee that youâll pass every single one of them? Besides, letâs not talk about the debts your original owner left you. Even if this family didnât have any debts, they didnât have the financial strength to make you prepare for the imperial examinations in peace. Also, if you suddenly say that you want to take the imperial examinations, itâll look very strange to others. It would be even more strange if you passed!â
Gu Shouxin glanced at Gu Nian calmly. âGu Shouxin is a nobody in your nephewâs book. Other than selling the female lead and letting the female lead meet the male lead, there must not have been much introduction to him, right!? And the memories Iâve compiled were originally from school, and were even highly valued by my teacher. However, when I was 14 years old, something happened, and I was unable to recover from it. Then, I got married and had children, and became like this!â
Gu Nian asked curiously, âWhat happened?â
Gu Shouxin glanced at Cai Xiaolian, and saw that she was also curious, so he said, âWhen Gu Shouxin was 14 years old, he fell in love with his schoolmateâs younger sister, and was rejected by a girl for being a bumpkin. Then he saw the girl get engaged to a nobleman with his own eyes. The nobleman framed him and suppressed him. Just like that, he was completely depressed.â
âAh?â Gu Nian obviously did not expect such a thing to happen. âNo, even if thatâs the case, what about the money you need to pay for your studies? Where do you plan to get it from? To find your parents? I donât think theyâll give it to you.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Gu Shouxin shook his head. âIâll give your mother a sum of money in a few days to use as a writer. You donât have to worry about the money I need to pay for my studies. Youâre fourteen this year. I want to ask, do you want to get married after or before school? If Itâs before school, Iâll ask your grandmother to help you look for one.â
