Zhou Ying scoffed after hearing that. It was already good enough that she did not punish them, and to actually ask her to punish him? What a joke.

She gave a vision to Gu Zheng’s aunt—a vision of a ghost haunting her.

The aunt was so frightened that her hair stood on end; even Mr. Gu was trembling with fear because of her.

Only then did Zhou Ying leave. As for the rest, it was up to Gu Zheng.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time for the provincial examination. Zhou Ying specially made some instant noodles and prepared some sauce meat, eggs, and so on for Gu Chengxi and Gu Chenglin before sending them to the examination hall.

Neither of them let her down, as both of them passed it.

Unfortunately, neither of them had a strong foundation, and their results were not too good.

Even with the special tuition, Gu Chenglin only got 48th place out of 150.

Gu Chengxi, on the other hand, was much further behind at 138th.

Therefore, if Gu Chengxi wanted to become an official scholar, he would have to wait. He might not even have a chance in this life. Consequently, he entered the medical center directly in the name of Gu Chengrui’s disciple.

Zhou Ying saw Gu Chengxi’s unhappy face. She went forward and knocked on his head. “What are you thinking about? Did you get reprimanded by the Emperor?”

“That’s not it. He just wants me to continue working hard.

“It’s a pity that my teacher took such good care of me and even gave me so much special tuition. In the end, I disappointed him.”

“He said that?”

“No, but the result shows.”

“You’re just sixteen and still young. It’s already good that you can pass the imperial examination.

“Besides, don’t you know what you were like when you were young? You only studied hard for a few years, so don’t be discouraged.

“Take it slow. If you don’t want to participate in the general exams tomorrow, you can wait for the next one.

“You will only be twenty years old by then, and it will be time for you to get married after the exams are over. By then, you will be able to pass the exams one after the other. That will be a great joy in life.”

“Sister-in-law, it’s still too early to get married.” Gu Chenglin answered with a blush.

“Alright, I’m not asking you to marry now. Go back and rest for two days.

“The autumn harvest is coming soon. I’m pregnant and can’t help you much this time. You have to do your own thing.”

“Got it, sister-in-law. If you need any help, just let me know. I’ll help you with it.”

“I was waiting for you to say this. I’ll leave the task of sending fruits to the palace to you.”

“Don’t worry, and leave it to me.”

“Remember to keep a close eye on it,” Zhou Ying said after a moment of hesitation. “Don’t let someone slip in something.”

Gu Chenglin was stunned for a moment after hearing that. Only then did he remember that every time she sent something into the palace, she would personally inspect it.

“Understood.” He nodded solemnly.

On the other end, after more than two months of searching, Gu Chengrui finally found the quartz sand he needed and experimented with making glass.

He even made two special grinding tools to produce a few glass lampshades.

Looking at the sparkling and translucent lampshade in front of him, Gu Chengrui took a few pieces of glass that could be used as windows and went straight into the palace.

“What have you been doing recently? I heard that you haven’t been to the clinic for more than two months.” The Emperor looked at him in surprise.

“I went to verify my experiments, and I brought you something good.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he handed the glass bottle to him.

After the Emperor took it, he looked at the thing in his hand in surprise. “What is this? It’s so bright!”

“Glass. This can cover an oil lamp as a replacement for paper. There are also flat ones like this, with which we can replace our windows.

“Not only will light transmit better, but it will also be resistant against the wind.

“Also, as long as you are careful, it won’t be a problem for you to keep using it for more than ten years..”
