The Farmer s Eldest Daughter Has a Spatial Pocket

Chapter 956: Ten Thin Clothes
Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yundong was still a little excited about the imperial examination.

Not only her, but everyone in the Gu family was on high alert, especially Gu Dafeng.

As Gu Dajiang’s sister, she knew best about his helplessness when he wanted to study as a kid.

She accompanied him through the experience of being chosen by the old Elementary Scholar and recognized by the old patriarch. Later on, the old patriarch and the old Elementary Scholar passed away one after another. Originally, he was just close to taking the Preparation Scholar exam, but his rights were directly stripped. In the end, he put down his books and worked in the fields all day.

Gu Dafeng had accompanied him all this way.

At that time, he saw his younger brother, who was clearly talented, good at studying, and motivated, but because of Madam Zhao’s suppression, Old Gu’s inaction, and the patriarch’s personal grudge, he cut off his chance to study. This made Gu Dafeng hate the Gu family very much.

She wanted to protect Gu Dajiang, but it was too difficult. She was still young at that time. Dealing with the three mountains above her was no different from courting death.

Therefore, now that Gu Dajiang could participate in the imperial examination, the joy in Gu Dafeng’s heart could not be described with words.

She had even cried behind someone’s back.

Gu Yundong knew that there was no need to worry about endorsement and recognition. With Qin Wenzheng’s help, what she needed to think about now was how to let her father perform normally in the examination hall and strive to pass in one go.

The county exam was in February. There were five subjects, and each one was only for a day. It was still bearable. After all, he did not have to stay in a narrow examination shed and endure the consequences of his back aching and legs weakening.

However, the weather in February was still very cold, so it was still very important to keep warm.

It was just that she had heard that when entering the examination hall, hats were not allowed to be double-layered. The leather jacket had to be stripped of its skin, and the felt clothes were removed from the inside. The clothes and robes were all single-layered, the socks were made of single-layered felt, and the shoes were made of thin soles.

Just thinking about these rules made Gu Yundong feel cold.

She touched her chin and went to look for Gu Dafeng. She said, “Eldest Aunt, I think we have to prepare at least ten pieces of single clothes for Father. Otherwise, he’ll shiver from the cold.”

Gu Yundong’s embroidery skills were still not good. After all, this was Gu Dajiang’s clothes. It was not good for her to ask Shen Sitian to make it, so she simply looked for Eldest Aunt.

Gu Dajiang happened to walk over. When he heard that, he looked at himself. Single clothes… ten pieces?

“Well, Yundong, the weather is already getting warmer next month, so there’s no need for so many,” he said. “If I put all ten clothes on, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to straighten my hand. How can I write?”

Gu Yundong waved her hand. “It’s okay. Make the clothes inside smaller and the clothes outside bigger.”

“But that’s still uncomfortable…”

Gu Yundong turned around and said solemnly, “Father, it’s better than catching a cold. At least wear it when you go in. If it does affect your performance while you’re holding the brush, then take it off.”

His daughter was so concerned about him. It was as if he would hurt her heart if he rejected her again.

Gu Dajiang nodded. “Alright.”

Gu Yundong was satisfied. He thought for a while and suddenly slapped his forehead. “I almost forgot.”

“Forgot what?” Gu Dafeng asked.

“Father, each of you has a test tent, right? Moreover, you have to draw lots to determine the location of the test tent?”

Gu Dajiang had already asked around. “That’s indeed the case. What’s wrong?”

“I’m worried that you won’t get a good spot.” Gu Yundong frowned. “Father, what if you get a spot next to the toilet?”

“Well…” What could he do? Acknowledge his bad luck?
