Chapter 452: Loving Mothers Often Spoil Their Children

Liu Quanzhou's questions are always tricky, and this time is no exception. The questions may seem basic, but they contain hidden secrets, and you will fall into the trap if you are not careful.

As the grading process progressed, everyone's attention was gradually attracted to the test papers of Lin Song, Lin Bo and Gu Sinian.

I saw that the handwriting on the test paper was vigorous and powerful, with a sense of agility in the flowing strokes, and every stroke showed a solid foundation.

Everyone couldn't help but marvel at the fact that he could write such beautiful characters at such a young age.

General Gu also widened his eyes and blurted out:

"Oh, how come these children's handwriting is so beautiful!

Compared to what other children in our family write, it is completely different. It is pleasing to the eye and I am sure the content of the article is not bad either."

Liu Quanzhou leaned over the desk, and the red pen in his hand gently moved across the test paper, sometimes pausing, sometimes making comments.

When he saw the test papers of Lin Song, Lin Bo and Gu Sinian, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a relieved smile.

He raised his head and nodded to the person beside him, with a certainty in his tone:

"Yes, these children have achieved remarkable results and have mastered the knowledge required for the Tongsheng exam very well, and are qualified to take the exam.

Given time, you will surely shine brightly on the road to the imperial examinations."

When he saw Gu Siyong's answer sheet, Liu Quanzhou couldn't help but sigh heavily, his face full of disappointment:

"Is Gu Siyong's knowledge really like this? Even when it comes to the most basic knowledge, he gets too many answers wrong.

Look at this handwriting again, it's all crooked and twisted, it's so messy, if you were to take the Tongsheng exam with this answer sheet, you would definitely not pass, it's way off."

General Gu suddenly stood up, strode to the table, grabbed Gu Siyong's student examination paper, and trembled with anger:

"Gu Siyong! Give me an explanation! You usually boast to me about how hardworking you are and how solid your knowledge is, but how come when it comes to the real test, your answers turn out like this?

Are you really focusing on your studies? If you can't explain it today, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

Gu Siyong was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs went weak, and he fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, lowering his head, not daring to breathe.

The second lady quickly defended:

"Dad, Siyong studies until midnight every day. Isn't he under too much pressure?

Please forgive him this time! Besides, haven't he filled in all the test papers?"

General Gu shook his sleeves and said:

"A loving mother often spoils her child. Just look at what other people's papers look like.

You don't need to go to the Tongsheng exam this time. Going would only bring shame to the Gu family."

Gu Siyong glared at Gu Sinian and said, "It's all your fault. You're already trying to show off as soon as you get back. Just wait and see."

After saying that, he ran away. General Gu said angrily: "This child is really spoiled. Let's ignore him and eat first."

Lin Wanwan enjoyed the meal to her heart's content, her belly was round and her face was full of satisfaction.

After the dinner, Mrs. Bai and Mr. Bai stood up and politely said goodbye.

General Gu warmly invited them to stay, saying, "You can stay here for a few more days so that the children can get closer to you."

Master Bai smiled and waved his hand, responding:

"Thank you for your kindness, General. It's not necessary. We have already bought a house in Bianjing. After all, we will live here for a long time. Our children will take the imperial examinations in the future, so it would be more convenient to have a stable place to live.

It's the old house of Liu Quanzhou's family. You can come over for tea when you're free."

General Gu nodded and replied, "That's not far. I will definitely come and bother you someday."

Gu Sinian followed Lin Wanwan closely. Seeing this, Zhao Qiaoniang gently advised, "Sinian, go back to your room first. You have to stay at the Gu family for the time being!"

Gu Sinian lowered his head, bit his lips tightly, and said nothing, his feet seemed to be rooted to the ground.

Madam Gu hurried forward, took Gu Sinian's hand, and said earnestly, "Sinian, you have to stay in the Gu family and stay here from now on."

Gu Sinian suddenly raised his head, looked at Lin Wanwan with a firm gaze, and said loudly: "No, I want to accompany Wanwan."

Madam Gu hurriedly comforted:

"You can still go see Wanwan in the future. They are also in Bianjing. We can find them soon if we want.

Tomorrow morning, you can go to Wanwan's house."

Lin Wanwan looked at Gu Sinian, her heart filled with reluctance. She asked the maid to fetch a set of brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone, and handed them to Gu Sinian, saying softly, "Brother Sinian, this is a gift I prepared for you. Stay well here, and come back to see me tomorrow!"

Gu Sinian's eyes instantly turned red and his nose felt a little sore. He hurriedly took out all the valuable things on his body, which were just given to him by his family, including warm jade pendants and gold locks.

He stuffed it all into Lin Wanwan's hands, his voice choked with sobs:

“I don’t need any of these things, so I’ll give them all to you.

If I make any money here in the future, I will give it to you for safekeeping."

Seeing Gu Sinian stuffing all the things given by his family to Lin Wanwan, Liu Quanzhou coughed and said:

"Ridiculous, how could you give all the things given by your family to Wanwan?

Take it back quickly, Wanwan doesn’t need you for this.”

When Gu Sinian heard this, he was displeased and glared at Liu Quanzhou fiercely.

Liu Quanzhou felt somewhat helpless after being looked at by this person, and said softly, "Don't spend all your time embroidering here, or you'll be laughed at."

Gu Sinian didn't care at all. He just snorted coldly and watched the figures of Lin Wanwan and others slowly walk away...

After everyone left, Madam Gu gently took Gu Sinian's hand, with a loving and gentle smile on her face, and said:

"Si Nian, mother has prepared a very good place for you to live.

It's just a few steps away from us, and it will be your own little world from now on!"

As she spoke, she took Gu Sinian and walked towards that place.

After a while, a magnificent house with a separate entrance and courtyard appeared before our eyes.

The main house is tall and spacious, with flying eaves and brackets, and is magnificent. When you walk into the house, you will find a wide space and the floor is paved with blue bricks.

Facing you is a set of rosewood tables and chairs with delicate texture and elegant shape.

Famous paintings and calligraphy are hung on the wall, showing elegance in the brushwork.

In the depths of the room, there is a luxurious and elegant bed with exquisite carvings.

The bed is hung with Shu brocade curtains, soft and flowing, and the bedding is all high-quality silk, soft and comfortable.

There is an exquisite screen next to the bed, painted with landscapes and rural scenery, adding a touch of privacy and elegance.

On one side of the room, there is a row of carved bookshelves filled with classics, history, poetry, and songs, exuding a faint scent of books.

There is a desk by the window, on which are placed the four treasures of the study, including Duan inkstones, Hu brushes, and rice paper, as well as a uniquely shaped glass lamp.

Walking out of the main house, there are two side rooms on the east and west sides of the courtyard, which are the study and guest room respectively.

The study is quiet and peaceful, filled with precious ancient books and cultural relics.

The guest rooms are simply and comfortably furnished, ready to accommodate visiting guests at any time.
