Chapter 609: Should I Remind Gu Yundong?
Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Dajiang wasn’t nervous. “It’s indeed almost noon. Please give me the third question.”
The mountain elder was stunned. Did she not understand what he said just now?
That shouldn’t be the case. Gu Dajiang was such a smart person.
It was only when he saw Gu Yundong stand up and carry the 20 paintings back that he was slightly stunned and came to a realization.
That’s right, Gu Dajiang still had his sharp-tongued daughter.
Gu Dajiang could pass the third test in peace while his daughter took the paintings away and get help.
“Alright, then I’ll talk about the third one.” Mountain Elder Qi said, “The third one isn’t difficult. You have to go to a lecture hall that’s in the middle of a lesson. After you’re done listening, write an essay for me.”
The third was the true test of Gu Dajiang’s knowledge.
It was really not difficult in a way. Most people who had read books knew how to write an article. Moreover, this article did not have any restrictions. You could cut in from any angle and do whatever you wanted.
However, it was difficult in another way. After all, the person reviewing the article was Mountain Elder Qi. As the mountain elder of an academy and an official for many years, it was said that he had participated in the Imperial Examination in the past. To Mountain Elder Qi, who had read too many good essays, an essay that was too mediocre and not eye-catching would disappoint him.
Furthermore, although Gu Dajiang had read many books and had written some articles in private, no one helped him review them. There was no interaction. It was a weakness.
Gu Dajiang felt that this was the true test for him.
The mountain elder looked at him and frowned slightly. He asked, “Why? Is there a problem?”
“No.” He shook his head and said, “It’s just that my wife and daughter ate breakfast early. When I finish writing the essay after class, it would be past noon. I don’t want them to wait with me on an empty stomach.”
Mountain Elder Qi nodded, but he thought to himself that Gu Dajiang was probably finding an excuse for his daughter to leave the academy with the paintings, right?
However, he did not want to do as Gu Dajiang wished. “It doesn’t matter. The academy has a canteen. I’ll get someone to bring you some food. The weather is hot now. It’s inconvenient for them go out in the afternoon. You don’t want them to be tired, right?”
“In that case, thank you, Mountain Elder.” Gu Dajiang bowed deeply. “Then I’ll go to the lecture hall.”
The mountain elder was stunned. He agreed just like that? Shouldn’t he persevere a little?
He suddenly felt like he was punching cotton. He clearly had a bad idea in his heart, but the other party did not seem to take the blow as he had imagined. It was simply… too bad.
Gu Dajiang turned around and left. When Qi Ting saw this, he thought for a moment and quickly approached a student beside him. “Bring him to the enlightenment lecture hall.”
Hehe, the difficulty had increased. He wanted to see how Gu Dajiang would pass.
The Tianhai Academy was also divided into several parts. The enlightenment lecture hall was filled with young children, so the content of the teachers’ lectures was naturally not deep. Gu Dajiang could obtain very little knowledge. Let’s see how good an article he can write this time.
The student nodded and quickly followed.
Mountain Elder Qi saw it but did not stop him. In the face of a challenge, he would always encounter all kinds of accidents. It was also a good opportunity for Mountain Elder Qi to see how he could adapt to the situation.
So he tacitly agreed.
What he cared about now was something else—it had been so long. Why didn’t the Gu family’s girl say that she was leaving?!
Should he remind her that time was tight??
