My Entire Family’s Gone Haywire! - Chapter 20

Gu Shouxin saw that the mother and daughter did not speak. He continued, “The situation in Great Zhou is similar to the situation in Great Yan, where I lived before. Based on the Gu family’s situation, I plan to take the imperial examinations to give you stability. Of course, it’s not all because of you. Most of the reason is still because of me. This is my plan. Let’s talk about you. Oh, right. Where are you from, Gu Nian?”

Gu Nian felt like she was being questioned by her brother. Her brother was their local leader. She sat up straight in an instant and said, “I used to be called Gu Nian too. I’ve been from China since 2020. However, this is an era that doesn’t exist in history. My nephew made it up.”

Gu Shouxin sized Gu Nian up and frowned. He didn’t understand what she meant.

Cai Xiaolian laughed in her heart. She carefully explained to Gu Shouxin, “Well, 9,000 years old. Gu Nian means…”

Gu Shouxin’s brows gradually unfurled, he said incredulously, “A world in a book? There are really all sorts of strange things in this world! I think all of you came here with me. It’s been three days, and none of you can go back. Why don’t we treat this place as a real world? Since Gu Nianzhi said that our arrival had changed Xin Xin’s fate, why don’t we take this opportunity to change the fate of the four of us in the book? What do you think?”

Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nianzhi nodded without hesitation. “Of course!”

Gu Shouxin smiled. “It’s already winter,” he said. “I’ve sorted out the memories in my head. Next February, I can participate in the student exam, then the provincial and provincial examinations, and the general examinations. I’m confident that I’ll pass every time, but it’ll take two years. What about all of you? What are your plans?”

Gu Nianzhi tried not to look at Gu Shouxin as if he was an idiot. “The ancient imperial examinations aren’t that easy. Can you guarantee that you’ll pass every single one of them? Besides, let’s not talk about the debts your original owner left you. Even if this family didn’t have any debts, they didn’t have the financial strength to make you prepare for the imperial examinations in peace. Also, if you suddenly say that you want to take the imperial examinations, it’ll look very strange to others. It would be even more strange if you passed!”

Gu Shouxin glanced at Gu Nian calmly. “Gu Shouxin is a nobody in your nephew’s book. Other than selling the female lead and letting the female lead meet the male lead, there must not have been much introduction to him, right!? And the memories I’ve compiled were originally from school, and were even highly valued by my teacher. However, when I was 14 years old, something happened, and I was unable to recover from it. Then, I got married and had children, and became like this!”

Gu Nian asked curiously, “What happened?”

Gu Shouxin glanced at Cai Xiaolian, and saw that she was also curious, so he said, “When Gu Shouxin was 14 years old, he fell in love with his schoolmate’s younger sister, and was rejected by a girl for being a bumpkin. Then he saw the girl get engaged to a nobleman with his own eyes. The nobleman framed him and suppressed him. Just like that, he was completely depressed.”

“Ah?” Gu Nian obviously did not expect such a thing to happen. “No, even if that’s the case, what about the money you need to pay for your studies? Where do you plan to get it from? To find your parents? I don’t think they’ll give it to you.”

Gu Shouxin shook his head. “I’ll give your mother a sum of money in a few days to use as a writer. You don’t have to worry about the money I need to pay for my studies. You’re fourteen this year. I want to ask, do you want to get married after or before school? If It’s before school, I’ll ask your grandmother to help you look for one.”
