Chosen Son

Chapter 27 Laziness

When Gu Fan walked into Yang Zheng's room, he had already fallen asleep on the table. It looked like he fell asleep while reading a book. The pen was still in his hand, and there was a large area of ​​ink on the table.

Although the selection system of this dynasty is not as perfect as modern times, it can still be called fair. It is divided into preliminary examination, re-examination and final hall selection. Only those who have reached the age of sixteen can participate. It was reported to the higher levels and decided by the emperor, so as to save local people from fishing in troubled waters and relying on connections to become officials.

The first test will be in March of the next year, which is the time when spring blossoms, and after the most difficult winter, it is time to see the truth.

Gu Fan’s college entrance examination at that time was considered to be a single-plank bridge, but he was talented and intelligent. He had a good foundation in mathematics, physics and chemistry since he was a child. , watching Yang Zheng study from morning to night every day, gloating and feeling a little distressed, from time to time, he would come to stare at him and go out to relax, so as not to make people foolish in the exam.

His footsteps were light, Yang Zheng was probably really tired, the slight movement didn't disturb him, he fell into a deep sleep, and didn't wake up until evening.

"Are you awake?" Gu Fan closed the book and stood up.

Yang Zheng rubbed his eyes in a daze: "Mr. is here."

"How are you feeling recently?" Gu Fan pushed the health-preserving soup from the kitchen Shun when he came here, as if borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.

Yang Zheng's eyes were black and blue, and he was in a trance. He looked like he was not awake at all. After hearing this, he reacted for a few seconds before answering: "Not bad, review all the previous ones. Check it out, it should be fine."

"Who asked you this..." Gu Fan rubbed between his brows helplessly, "I said how is your mental state?"

Yang Zheng's face was completely wrinkled: "It's not very good, but it's not too important."

Before he finished speaking, the book in Gu Fan's hand hit him on the head, not lightly but not hard.

"I have to correct your notion, little friend Yang Zheng. No matter what, your body is the most important thing. Don't look back and try to break down after the exam. Then you might as well stay at home. It's not like your father can't afford you."

Yang Zheng was sobered up a lot by his beating, and he covered his forehead a little aggrieved: "Sir, don't keep beating me on the head, or I will become stupid."

Gu Fan: "..."

"If you become stupid, I'll buy you walnuts."

"Do you have the money to buy it?" Yang Zheng looked at him seriously.

Gu Fan swallowed back the sentence that had spilled out of his throat, feeling that his chest was hurting with anger.

However, after such a fuss, Yang Zheng's tense nerves finally relaxed a little bit, and Gu Fan's goal was achieved. In order to prevent the little bastard from uttering any rebellious words to anger him again, he wisely decided not to stay here anymore. To humiliate himself, he had just walked to the door when he heard Yang Zheng calling him.

"Sir, you don't need to persuade me." The child—in fact, he can no longer be called a child. The boy's voice was a little hoarse when he just woke up, but he said every word very seriously, "My mother has always expected me to become a talent." , even if it is... to ensure that I have a bright and worry-free life, and I cannot live up to her expectations."

"And sir, sir has been with me in Yang Mansion for eight years and taught me carefully. If I don't work hard, I'm sorry for you."

For a moment, Gu Fan almost thought that Yang Zheng would soon know about the upcoming parting.

"Understood." He said in the most gentle tone he could achieve, "We all know, but we still pay attention to our body and don't work too hard."

The young man laughed, his eyes were bright, as if he was hiding a newborn sunrise: "I know."

After Gu Fan learned the truth from the doctor, he relayed everything to Yang Zheng. He didn't say another word, and left after he finished speaking, leaving the rest of the time for Yang Zheng to digest.

The child was locked up in his own room for three days, and he wandered around outside the door silently for three days, feeling that he was exactly the same mentality as his troubled mother in the previous life.

Three days later, Yang Zheng came out, his eye circles were red and bloodshot, the first thing he did was to wash himself from head to toe, and then he plunged into the study.

Gu Fan never asked him whether he came out or not, but Yang Zheng never asked about the eldest lady again, but when she was abandoned and went home, she said lightly that she deserved it, as calmly as if it wasn't what he wanted to eat earlier. The object whose flesh drinks its blood.

Time can always dilute everything, Gu Fan thought.

Anyway, there is still an outlet to vent, turning grief into strength and studying hard, it can be regarded as a positive development.

Yang Mansion is not far from the place where the exam is taking place, but it will take two or three days to rush to the exam room. The night before leaving, Yang Zheng knocked on Gu Fan's door and called Gu Fan who was sleeping soundly. stand up.

Gu Fan got up in a daze and opened the door for him, only to see the boy's eyes brighten, looking at him with radiance: "Sir, I can't sleep."

Gu Fan: "..."

"Then you came to me because you expect me to tell you stories to lull you to sleep?"

It's impossible to put him to sleep, not even in this lifetime.But it's not a problem for the two of them to just stand at the door and look at each other. Although Gu Fan was full of reluctance, he finally let Yang Zheng in.

When he was sitting at the table, he yawned again: "Let's talk, it's the last night, if you have any worries, hurry up and talk to your husband. If you go back to the examination room, you won't have this chance."

Only he himself understood the true meaning of his words. Yang Zheng didn't think much about it, but took the words literally, and scratched his head shyly: "I... a little nervous."

Gu Fan seemed to have heard some very funny joke: "Why are you nervous? You have read everything you need to read, and you have memorized everything you need to memorize. Unless someone beats you until you lose your memory today, as long as you perform normally, you won't lose your memory." Something went wrong."

Yang Zheng was taken aback by his aggressive and natural tone, and almost felt that his nervousness was nothing more than a fuss, and he couldn't move forward or retreat for a while.

Seeing that he was successfully bewitched by him, Gu Fan intensified his questioning: "Which area are you nervous about, let me hear it?"

"Ah?" Yang Zheng was a little dazed, "I don't know, I just feel nervous...worried that I won't do well in the exam."

Gu Fan sighed: "Young master, sometimes you can't think too much about the consequences when doing things, because worrying about the results can directly affect your final grades. This is the most worthwhile approach."

"I know..." Yang Zheng was a little distressed, "But I just can't control myself, I keep thinking wildly."

"I haven't finished yet." Gu Fan supported his head and said seriously, "If you can't control yourself and must think about the result, then just think about the worst result."

"Come on, let me analyze it for you. The worst result is that you made a mistake and didn't perform well, leading to failure. Failure is nothing more than starting all over again. You have been studying for so many years. After losing, don't you have the courage to start working hard again?"

"I have it." Yang Zheng seemed to realize something, and suddenly he almost had the illusion that a big stone fell from his heart.

"Actually, reading is a very boring thing." After brainwashing, Gu Fan suddenly changed his perspective.

Although Yang Zheng didn't understand how he changed the subject abruptly, he still nodded subconsciously, feeling the same way: "I think so too."

"So I suggest you, before going to bed, focus on the knowledge of the subjects you think are the most boring in the center of your brain, and you will be able to fall asleep within the time of a cup of tea."

Yang Zheng: "..."

Seeing that he hesitated, Gu Fan added another sentence: "The personal test is valid."

"Then I'll go back and try?" Yang Zheng stood up in a daze.

"Wait." Gu Fan followed him and stood up, still worried that his wave of psychological hypnosis would not work, the child went back and continued to think, rummaged through the box for a long time, and took out the tranquilizing incense that he had pressed at the bottom of the box, "Here, I asked the doctor to prescribe it the other day."

I don't know if Anshen Xiang is really useful or Gu Fan's nonsense has played a metaphysical function, after returning, Yang Zheng didn't do anything wrong, and slept extremely peacefully.

When I woke up, it was already daylight.After saying goodbye to everyone, he got on the carriage for the exam smoothly.

After sending Yang Zheng away, Gu Fan became completely empty, playing with cats and dogs all day long in the yard, making maidservants and servants detour when they saw him, for fear that he would catch him by accident, and be molested two more times. I can't refute it back - how to say that sentence, I'm afraid that the hooligans are educated.

The hooligan has been doing evil for many days, and he felt that he was about to mold into a mushroom, and urgently needed to be punished. Until one day, he felt his whole body lighten up suddenly, and then he floated up. After being terrified, he realized that his soul had left his body. Think it's time.

The system in his brain was reading the notes as usual, and he suddenly remembered that this was the day when Yang Zheng finished his last subject.

"I thought I would be let go on the day when the results were released." He was a little regretful and relieved, "But at this moment...it seems that the little guy did well in the exam."

System: Mr. Gu's tutoring is good.

This is what it means by default that the last task is to let Yang Zheng pass the exam. Gu Fan shook his goosebumps because of his name, and murmured: "It's really tiring to take care of children. Can the next world Give me a slightly more relaxed and joyful character set for me to play, I think I can go directly to the teacher qualification test when I return to the original world..."

The system didn't say yes or no, if it could take human form, Gu Fan would see a mysterious smile on its face.

With a flash of white light, this transparent soul disappeared into the air.

Everything became silent again, as if nothing had happened.
