On the way back, everyone started talking about the imperial examination.
Both uncle Gu and Gu Nian had encouraged Gu en to settle the matter in this year's batch and break Huo Junhao's first place as the youngest.
In the end, Gu en refused to do so. He did not want to listen to the words of those who did not take the imperial examination.
Second uncle had said that he would take it one step at a time. It would be fine if he only passed the elementary scholar exam this year. He would then pass the Imperial scholar exam in the next year.
You have to eat one mouthful at a time, you can't become fat in one mouthful.
Needless to say, Gu Nian had high hopes for Gu en.
The Gu en now was no longer the boy who only knew how to play when she first transmigrated. He could even compose poems now.
