Li Baolu got up before dawn. Today was the day when the results were released, and she was going to check the results.

Dressing lightly, she turned around and met Gu Jingyun with bright eyes on the opposite bed. She was startled, and then realized that Gu Jingyun hadn't slept well either.

Li Baolu pursed her lips and smiled, she thought he was confident that he could get the first place, so it turned out that he was not uneasy.

Gu Jingyun saw that Li Baolu was already dressed, so he sat up lazily and leaned against the pillow, and said: "Eat first before going, the list will be announced at Chenshi, if you go too early, you will be waiting."

"I'll buy two buns on the street and take them with me. You can sleep a little longer." Li Baolu washed up quickly, took the money and went out.

She felt that it was early enough for her to come out. Who knew that there were already many people waiting in front of the ceremony room, occupying all the positions in front of the announcement wall.

Li Baolu squeezed to the front flexibly relying on her figure, and then waited for the announcement of the list.

As the hour approached, there was already a sea of ​​people in front of the ceremony room. Not only the candidates and their families were waiting to release the results, but the inns that received candidates also sent staff to look at the results. Send the list after singing the list, so that you can get some rewards.

Li Baolu stood in the first row, looking at the door of the ceremony room with piercing eyes, feeling like she was waiting for the results of the college entrance examination in her previous life.

At the hour of Chen, the door of the ceremony room slowly opened, and the magistrate and two assistant examiners walked over with a red list. This is the top list, which is the top three in the hospital examination, and they will sing from the third.

The list was posted after the magistrate was called. Li Baolu stared at the magistrate closely, the voices around her gradually moved away, and Li Baolu could only hear the magistrate's voice. Hearing the five characters "Qiongzhou Gu Jingyun", he let go of his heart.

After the magistrate called the names, he handed over the red list to the yamen servants on the side, and asked them to post the list. Another red list was sent to the ceremony room. This is the second one, ranging from the fourth to the fiftieth.

However, Li Baolu no longer paid attention to them, but squeezed to the front to look at the red list that had just been posted, looked at the first place again and again, and confirmed that the name was Gu Jingyun's native place, then excitedly waved her fist and squeezed out of the crowd.

And the yamen servant has already received the red list and rode a fast horse to the inn where the top three stayed to announce the good news.

Li Baolu squeezed out from the side, took a short cut with luck, and rushed back to the inn before the yamen servant.

There is no way, the yamen servant wants to go around the city to announce the good news, but she is walking wherever.

Li Baolu rushed up to the third floor, so that the examinees who stayed in the inn and tried to stop her from asking for news had no time to stop them.

Everyone just felt that as soon as they raised their hands, the man blew up to the third floor like a gust of wind.

Li Baolu was still complaining in her heart, why would she stay in the inn if she had nothing to do to look at the list, so she didn't dare to do light work, she had to run, for fear of frightening these scholars.

Li Baolu rushed into the room and shouted excitedly to the people in the room: "Jing Yun, the list is out, you have the top spot!"

Everyone in the room was stunned, Gu Jingyun smiled after a while, Zhao Ning also quickly reacted, got up and congratulated Gu Jingyun, and several other people also reacted, busy congratulating Gu Jingyun, but they were a little absent-minded when they spoke again, Obviously also thinking about grades.

Only then did Li Baolu realize that there were quite a few people in the room. She lowered her head and smiled shyly at everyone, then picked up the teapot in the corner to make tea for everyone, and said with a smile, "Please forgive me for not taking good care of you. I will announce the good news later." The yamen servant is here, I will prepare some rewards first."

Zhao Ning hurriedly got up and said: "Sisters and sisters go, we will also go down to the lobby to wait for news, so we won't bother you."

Gu Jingyun sent people out of the room, and after closing the door, he asked with bright eyes: "Did you see the list?"

Li Baolu nodded again and again, "I've double-checked that the name, date of birth and place of origin are all correct."

The corner of Gu Jingyun's mouth was raised high. He was very confident in his talent, but the exam was never just about talent. Before the results were settled, everything was possible.

Li Baolu took out five taels of silver and rushed to find the shopkeeper, and exchanged all the copper coins with him as a reward.

The shopkeeper didn't expect that the case turned out to be in their inn, and he walked around happily, seeing Li Baolu brought the silver, he patted his chest and said, "Madam, don't worry, the price of silver to copper plate is now one or two to one thousand one to one thousand two." Wait, how about I exchange it for you at one thousand and two?"

"Then I would like to thank the shopkeeper."

Li Baolu just got the copper coin when there was a gong beating outside, and she heard the sound of announcing the good news from a distance, she knew it was the yamen servant who announced the good news, so she hurriedly took the copper coin and went out to offer a reward.

She gave two slings of copper coins to the yamen servants, one sling to the clerk for them to share, and the remaining two slings to be distributed to the beggars and common people waiting outside.

This was what she inquired with the shopkeeper early in the morning. This reward is not the best, but it is definitely not bad.

Li Baolu scattered all the money, and then happily went back to find the shopkeeper to order dinner for the evening. Gu Jingyun High School, no matter what, he wanted to invite a few good friends to have a meal.

Just turning around, he was stopped by a strong middle-aged man, he glanced at Li Baolu hesitantly, and asked, "But Mr. Gu's wife?"

Li Baolu nodded with a smile, "Yes, what's the matter, uncle?"

"My lord would like to invite you to the banquet tonight." The middle-aged man looked at Li Baolu again, and then he handed the invitation to her, and said, "Please be sure to come to the evening, too."

This was very rude, Li Baolu accepted the invitation and asked with a smile, "I wonder who is your lord?"

"Young Master Gu knew after reading the invitation." The middle-aged man cupped his fists, turned and left.

Li Baolu opened the invitation and saw that the inscription at the bottom was Zhou Gonghe.

Zhou Yi, the prefect of Guangzhou, was named Gonghe. Gu Jingyun said that he had mediocre qualifications and made little achievements in political affairs. He even suffered setbacks in Guangzhou's commercial development because he saw businessmen clearly, but he valued scholars very much, and he was especially tolerant in literature. One of the reasons for taking the lead.

After all, if he met an examiner like Tan Qian, it would be really difficult for him to stand out.

Li Baolu didn't expect that his servants would come to invite Gu Jingyun before the singing list was over, and it might not be a good thing to pay attention to it.

Gu Jingyun obviously thought so too. He closed the invitation and said, "Let the shopkeeper arrange a banquet as usual in the evening. I will ask Zhao Ning to serve me, and you will go to the banquet with me."

"What can Zhou Gonghe ask you for?"

"It's nothing more than a solicitation or a warning. If it's a solicitation, I have my own words to refuse him. If it's a warning," Gu Jingyun's face sank, "What do I deserve his warning?"

Li Baolu looked at him worriedly, apparently they thought of the same point, they were afraid that Zhou Gonghe would know Gu Jingyun's origin and be in collusion with the Zhongyonghou's mansion in the capital.

"It's a disaster, we can't avoid it, we just go, the list comes out, I'm already a famous person, he doesn't dare to do anything to me, besides, don't you still have you?" Gu Jingyun smiled at her, "If What is he really going to do, you can always bring me out, right?"

Li Baolu shivered, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to!"

But she thought of the middle-aged man. At that time, his eyes probably suspected that she had kung fu?

I only hope that Zhou Gong and the people around him are learning hard skills like middle-aged men.

There was a lot of noise below the inn. Candidates who didn’t go to the rankings stayed in the lobby waiting for news. There were high school students and those who failed the rankings. Joy, joy, sorrow and sorrow were intertwined. Zhao Ning also knew from her book boy that she was ranked No. 16 in high school. , I almost jumped up with joy.

With a wave of his big hand, he rewarded the high-quality wedding seal of Wuliang, the yamen servant who came to announce the good news, and then came to Gu Jingyun excitedly. Hearing that Gu Jingyun asked him to help entertain a few friends, he waved bluntly: "Why bother, Why don't you give it to me together, and I will pay for a meal for everyone, and it will be considered as a banquet for you and me."

Zhao Ning's family is a big landlord in Huizhou, and they are not short of money at all.

Gu Jingyun thought about it and said: "Then you are the one who invited them. You just want to leave me a bowl of water and wine. I will respect you when I come back in the evening. I rely on you to take care of me these days."

As soon as Zhao Ning finished speaking, he regretted it. Even though he was not short of money, such a big package seemed like Gu Jingyun was short of money, but seeing that he didn't mind at all, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said with a smile: "This It should be, not to mention a bowl, even the whole jar can be left to you, but where are you going at night?"

Gu Jingyun \u0026 Li Baolu: "..." What they said just now was in vain, but this person didn't listen!

At this time, the magistrate, who had just returned from the ceremony room, was seeing his parents accompanying him, "How about it, did you see Gu Jingyun?"

"I didn't see Gu Jingyun, but I saw Gu Jingyun's wife."

Zhou Gonghe was stunned for a while before asking hesitantly: "If I remember correctly, Gu Jingyun is not yet fourteen years old, so he got married so early?"

Children in Guangdong get married early, but that is in the middle and lower classes. In order to pay less tax and one person’s ration, in the middle and upper classes, boys generally do not get married until the 16th or 17th, and girls have to wait until later.

Gu Jingyun is a scholar, and can live in the upper room of the inn, so it can be seen that the family has a lot of money, so how could they get married so early?

He still wants to have a good relationship with him, to be a matchmaker or something.

"It is said that he is a childhood sweetheart. His family members were worried that he would not be able to take good care of him outside so they married him early. His wife is younger than him. She is childish, but she behaves calmly. The younger one saw that she arranged the reward in an orderly manner. It can be seen that she is a good wife. And," Chang Sui said after a moment of hesitation, "I can see that she walks lightly, it seems that she has practiced martial arts."
