I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 119 Do You Know the Bai Family - Bai Ruonan 28

A few days later, the door of the Imperial Examination Hall was finally opened, and the candidates came out one after another. In the crowd, Qingyue saw Gu Tingye at first sight.

He was wearing a blue robe, looked handsome, and his noble air made him particularly eye-catching.

When he walked in front of Qingyue, Qingyue looked him up and down carefully. Except for his tired face, everything else was fine.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Qingyue asked him to take a bath first, and then come out to eat something.

After all, he has been staying in the small house in the Imperial Examination Hall these days and is not allowed to come out before the time. Not to mention taking a bath, I'm afraid the food is not good either.

After Gu Tingye came out of the bath and changed into comfortable clothes, he found that meals had already been laid out on the table in his room, all of which were his favorite foods.

As he looked at them, he felt his heart filled with sorrow. He didn't know why, but sometimes he would suddenly feel that such ordinary concern did not belong to him at all, as if he had never received it since he was a child or grew up, and he would always be the one disliked by others.

But it is obvious that he did not live such a life since he was a child. On the contrary, his mother always cared about him, knew what he liked to eat, knew his preferences, and supported him no matter what he did.

His younger brother Gu Tingshuo also liked him as his elder brother, and Nanny Chang treated him as her own grandson. The servants were also very respectful to him and did not dare to slack off at all.

He has always been a child of destiny, not an unwanted poor guy.

But this bad feeling always comes up, as if telling him how hard it is to have his current life.

Suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Gu Tingye did as usual. After eating, he lay down on the bed and had a good sleep.

He started sleeping in the afternoon and woke up the next morning. Gu Tingye walked out of the room, breathing the fresh air, feeling refreshed.

He stretched his body and said to Shitou beside him: "Shitou, bring me my gun."

"Okay, sir." Shitou said, and walked to where the gun was, picked up the gun and held it in front of him, "Sir, go ahead."

After saying that, he threw the stone over.

Gu Tingye was indeed a martial artist. After the stone was thrown at him, he caught it, jumped onto the specially built martial arts training ground in the yard, and started practicing his marksmanship.

Shitou stood aside and watched, he felt that the young master was really amazing, he wielded the gun with great vigor, skill and power.

After showing off his shooting skills, Gu Tingye just stopped and heard an excited voice coming from the gate of the courtyard.

"Good! Bro, you're awesome!"

Gu Tingye turned around and saw that it was his younger brother Gu Tingshuo. He smiled at him and said, "Come up too, let's compete. I want to see if your shooting skills have improved."

Gu Tingshuo had the same intention. He took the gun handed over by Shitou and started fighting with Gu Tingye. The two of them were fighting back and forth at the beginning, but gradually Gu Tingshuo couldn't hold on and he was getting more and more exhausted.

Until the end, Gu Tingshuo fell to the ground and the gun fell out of his hand, but Gu Tingye's gun was still firmly in his hand and pointed directly at Gu Tingshuo's neck.

At this point, the winner has been decided.

Gu Tingye pulled Gu Tingshuo up, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged him: "Not bad, you have improved. You took a few more moves than last time."

"Of course there is progress. I haven't slacked off at all these days." Gu Tingshuo said as he took the handkerchief handed to him by the servant.

The two entered the house and sat on chairs to rest.

Suddenly, Gu Tingshuo asked, "By the way, brother, was the test difficult this time? How did you do?"

Gu Tingye took extra care of his gun. He would wipe it every time after playing with it. This time was no exception. He was wiping it with a handkerchief. "It's not difficult. I think I can definitely make the list this time."

As he spoke, he stopped wiping his gun, looked at Gu Tingshuo and said, "By the way, I have been away for the past few days. Have you completed the task I assigned to you?"

Hearing this, Gu Tingshuo did not respond. He lowered his head, pinching the corner of his sleeve and looking carefully, as if there was something there that was attracting him.

Gu Tingye knew him very well. From childhood to adulthood, whenever he made such a move, it was a sign of his guilty conscience.

"Come on, let's go to the study."

Gu Tingshuo didn't want to read at all: "Brother, you just finished the exam, you must be tired, I will go by myself, don't worry, I will definitely finish reading the book."

After saying that, he stood up and ran out without waiting for Gu Tingye to say anything.

Gu Tingye looked at his back as he ran away and sighed. His younger brother was good in every way except that he didn't want to read.

He had often told him before that he wanted to be a well-rounded person who was good at both literature and martial arts, and asked his brother to urge him on this. He agreed, but he did not expect that problems would arise with this matter.

Although Gu Tingshuo ran away today, he did not let Gu Tingshuo play all the time in the following days. He forced him to read books in the study for a few days. It was only when Gu Tingye had something to do that he let him out.

As soon as he came out, he came to Qingyue.

Qingyue wanted to laugh when she saw Gu Tingshuo sighing beside her.

"Mother, laugh if you want to." Gu Tingshuo said, looking at his mother's expression.

Hearing his words, Qingyue laughed, stretched out her hand and tapped his forehead, saying: "You've only been reading for a few days, and you're already not good enough."

Gu Tingshuo lay on the couch: "Alas, I really regret it a little. I really shouldn't have told my brother that I also want to be good at both literature and martial arts. Who would have known that my brother was so serious? I can't help but study now."

Qingyue shook her head and said nothing. If he really didn't want to learn, could Gu Tingye really force him to learn? It was just that the kid was lazy. To use modern terms, he had procrastination.

If he doesn't watch, he can keep delaying.

At this time, Chang Ping came in: "Madam, when I came back just now, I saw Brother Ye went out."

Qingyue just found out about this. If Gu Tingye hadn't had something to do, her youngest son would have been studying in the study room a long time ago and wouldn't be staying with her now.

After a pause, Chang Ping continued, "I also heard Shitou beside Ye Ge'er say, what girl are you going to meet? Could it be that our Ye Ge has someone in his heart now?"

Hearing her say this, Gu Tingshuo sat up, his voice filled with obvious excitement: "I know about this matter. Madam is right. My brother really has someone in his heart. Mother, guess who it is."

Qingyue didn't show any surprise on her face. She had known about this for a long time, but she didn't say anything because she saw that he was about to take the exam. "It's the fifth girl of the Sheng family, Sheng Rulan, right?"

"Mother, you actually knew about this too. When did you know about it?" Gu Tingshuo was really surprised. He remembered that his mother had never been to the Sheng family.

Could it be that his brother has already told his mother? That should be the case, and he must be right.
