Chapter 2143: Catching a Son-in-Law

After Jiang Sheng and the others left, Gu Jinan told the other candidates about Jiang Sheng's reminder, then returned to the house and began to thank guests behind closed doors, not going anywhere, waiting for the day when the results would be released.

While they were freshening up, eating dinner, and sleeping soundly, the other examiners were still in a mess, and the medical clinic in the capital was crowded with people, all of whom came to invite doctors to treat the sick candidates.

But there were too many candidates and too few doctors, which made the sky dark, and some candidates did not wait for the doctors.

Emperor Jingyuan had been sending people to keep an eye on the candidates. When he learned about this, he sneered and cursed: "A bunch of losers, who are civil servants, are in such a miserable state in the capital. If they are sent to the northwest, they won't be able to calm the people and govern the world, let alone peace. You can’t even take care of yourself!”

Then he continued to order: "Keep an eye on Gu Jinan and see who has been looking for him recently. Has he secretly met anyone?"

Because of the relationship between Qin Sanlang and the Ouyang family, Emperor Jingyuan wanted to reuse Gu Jinan, but he was naturally suspicious and feared that Gu Jinan had joined other wealthy families, so he sent people to keep an eye on him.

Once he found out that Gu Jinan was working as a slave for a wealthy family, he immediately took away his fame!

"Yes." Emperor Jingyuan's people took the order and went to do it.

Emperor Jingyuan also sent a message to the officials who were reviewing the results: "Tell them to hurry up. The results will be released in five days."

Emperor Jingyuan gave an order, Yingge Lao, Ouyang Zhang and other reviewers stepped up their efforts to review the papers. Three days later, a batch of good articles were selected and presented to Emperor Jingyuan for him to determine the ranking.

Not surprisingly, Gu Jinan's test paper was among them.

Emperor Jingyuan was very satisfied that the officials who marked the papers did not violate the rules and presented him with the papers of candidates with real abilities.

Emperor Jingyuan had already seen Gu Jinan's examination strategy, but looking at it now, he still felt that it was very good. He was a man of real ability, unlike other students who only had flowers and nothing practical.

However, there are still many children in the wealthy families who have excellent policy writing, such as Zong Zhengyi, the third son of the Zongzheng family, Feng Yu of the Feng family, Song Yin of the Song family, Chu Jun of the Chu family, and Fang Dianqing of the Fang family. , the strategies they wrote are all of the best, and they have always been famous in the capital, and with time, they will become pillars.

But behind them stood the wealthy family. Emperor Jingyuan knew very well what the wealthy family were and did not dare to reuse them. Therefore, Emperor Jingyuan looked at it and gave Huiyuan to the farmer.

…

This year's examination, everything started from a quick word. Five days later, on the first day of February, the results of the examination will be released.

Since the day when the results were released, major restaurants in the capital prepared Huiyuan Pavilion and sent messages to high school candidates who had the opportunity, asking them to sit there on the day when the results were released.

Two days before the results are released, there will also be a writing party for candidates from all over the country to make friends through literature. The poems and songs they have written will also be judged and the first place will be awarded. The restaurant will give a large sum of money as a lottery to the first place.

After the restaurant merchants made such a fuss, before the list was released, the whole capital became lively.

In addition to merchants, families with daughters in the capital are also busy, asking who will win? How many places can I get? What does it look like? How is your family background?

After finding out more about it, he sent his servants to wait in front of the Gongyuan. As soon as the gold medal list was posted, and when he saw the promising candidates and went to see the list, he would immediately capture him and make him his aunt!

Therefore, on the day when the results were released, before dawn, the entire Gongyuan was packed with people.

Lu Bai was so excited that he got up before dawn and called Gu Jinan and the others, bang bang bang, "Get up quickly, the results are about to be released. If we don't go out to Gongyuan, we won't be able to squeeze in!"

Gu Jinan was so noisy by him that he could only get up and open the door, saying: "Didn't I say last night that we won't look at the results. If you pass the exam, someone from the Ministry of Etiquette will come to announce the good news."

"You really don't want to go? This is a big event in your life!" Lu Bai felt that Gu Jinan and the others were sick. How could they not go to such a big event?

He added: "Why are you afraid of catching your son-in-law? If you want to catch me, then catch him. If you don't marry him, it will be done."

Gu Jinan said: "This is just one of the reasons. The second is that after passing the general examination, you still have to prepare for the palace examination. If someone hurts your hands and feet while looking at the results, and delays the palace examination, the exam will be in vain."

Then he said: "If you want to see the list, just go with Dou Shaodong's house, we won't go."

Seeing that he couldn't make sense, Lu Bai could only say: "Okay, I'll go to Dou Shaodong's house."

Gu Jinan smiled and kindly gave him a new set of brocade robes made by himself: "If you haven't worn it yet, you can wear it to see the list. Let Zezi and Feng Lian follow you."

Lu Bai frowned when he heard this, remembering that he was being punished by Gu Jinan, he pointed at him and said, "Are you trying to trick me?"

Gu Jinan smiled: "Things that make you suffer are called pitfalls, and things that let you gain advantages are called helping you."

This made Lu Bai think: "It sounds like a big trap."

Gu Jinan: "Are you going? It's okay not to go. It's not bad to just stay in the house."

Lu Bai pulled his robe and said, "Go, why don't you go? This is a rare thing!"

Lu Bai happily changed into his robe and dressed himself up. Then he took Zezi and Feng Lian to Dou Shaodong's house and went out together in a carriage to look at the list.

As soon as we arrived at Gongyuan Street, it was so crowded that the carriage could not enter, so we had to walk and went to a restaurant called Zhaixing. The one we picked was naturally Wenquxing.

But Lu Bai did not go in. He said goodbye to Dou Shaodong's family at the door of the restaurant, and took Zezi and Feng Lian to the Gongyuan to wait for the list.

The golden list was already surrounded by people looking at it. If there were no sergeants blocking it, they would probably have crushed the golden list!

Boom, boom, boom!

When the Si hour came, the drums started to beat loudly, the main gate of Gongyuan opened wide, and a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites came out.

"The list is released, the list is released!"

Someone shouted, and after the sound spread, everyone started to move and crowded towards the golden list.

Seeing this, the leading general shouted: "Back off, everyone back off, destroy the gold list, and take everyone to death row!"

After everyone heard this, they stopped. After the people from the Etiquette Department posted the gold list, they crowded over to take a look.

Lu Bai had good eyesight, so he asked Zezi to carry him, and looked over the heads of everyone. When he saw Yao Youqian's name, he was shocked: "Second in the general examination, Yao Youqian actually got second in the general examination, he, he, he... What kind of shitty luck did you have?!"

Sawazi was also shocked. He didn't expect Yao to be rich enough to pass the examination and get second place. He quickly asked: "Where did the young master get in the examination?"

Lu Baidao: "First, Jianghuai Jieyuan, Gu Jin'an from Tianfu County, He'an Prefecture ranked first in the general examination!"

"First, the eldest young master is really number one!" Feng Lian was small and had already gone in to look at the gold list, and then came back to tell Sawazi.

"Okay, okay, congratulations, young master." Zezi was very happy, put down Lu Bai, and rushed out excitedly, rushing back to tell Gu Jinan the good news.

But as soon as they squeezed out, two groups of people rushed from the left and right. They pressed down on Lu Bai and asked, "Dare you ask me, sir, who is Jianghuai Gu Jinan or Gu Dayuan?"

Lu Bai's mind turned around and he said: "... Exactly, who are you? Let me go quickly. I finally passed the Huiyuan exam and I have to rush back to write a letter to inform my family in Dafeng Village, Tianfu County about this good news." information."

The two groups of people were overjoyed after hearing this: "Gu Huiyuan, congratulations to you. You are already our noble son-in-law. Please come with us back to your home to worship. After the worship, we will inform your hometown of the good news of your high school reunion and your marriage." people."
