Wait a minute, tomorrow is the day when the results will be released.

If Achuan really wins the election this time, then it will be necessary to buy a house in Fucheng!

If Achuan wants to take part in the examination, he will probably have to prepare well. If he has been living in Xijiang Village, he will have a lot of inconveniences.

Father Lu narrowed his eyes and suppressed his thoughts secretly.

Lu Jianchuan didn't know about this. After the provincial examination, he went to the dean of the academy and came back. He didn't read the book and stayed with Gu Yunxi all day long.

He even couldn't remember what day it was.

Father Lu and He Feng remembered clearly that early that morning, He Feng didn't even wait for the buns to be sold out before dragging Father Lu home in a hurry.

Lu Qingqing and Gu Yunle didn't go out either. They had told Granny Dong the day before that today was the day when the results would be released.

Granny Dong has been in good health recently, and she has Doctor Qin and the maid he brought with her, so the Lu family doesn't need to worry too much.

In the courtyard of the Lu family, He Feng walked around and said to Dad Lu: "Dad, why do I feel so nervous? Do you think Achuan can win the lottery?"

Father Lu was unsure, but looking at his son's calm expression, he felt that it was okay for some reason.

"Feng'er, don't worry too much, I believe in Achuan's strength."

"If you can't pass the exam this time, then you can take the exam again next time. Our family is not what it used to be. Let alone take part again, we can support it even a few times.

Father Lu grabbed Hefeng's hand and gave her reassurance, so that she was not so uneasy.

Different from the uneasiness of the Lu family, the old Gu family, Mrs. Gu was already standing in front of her house, smiling from ear to ear under the praise of the villagers.

She even bought a lot of candies and gave them to the children in the village.

Then, he looked towards the village entrance with a smile, waiting for someone to come and announce the good news.

The same goes for Mrs. Wu. This morning, she specially wore a new dress, dressed up, and stood with Mrs. Gu.

Gu Yunyan also rummaged through the cabinets and found her most beautiful piece of clothing. With a proud look on her face, she listened to the praises of her brother from the villagers.

Even Mr. Gu came out with a rare smile on his face.

However, the Gu family kept waiting and waiting until the sun was over their heads, but they did not wait for the official who announced the good news.

Mrs. Gu was a little impatient: "What's going on? Could it be that the person who announced the good news didn't know our family and got lost?"

Mr. Gu was equally puzzled. He thought for a while and said, "Second daughter-in-law, why don't you go to the town to find me and see if the results have been released?"

Wu nodded. She was also anxious. At this time, she listened to her father-in-law's instructions and walked towards the town.

As a result, before she reached the gate of the town, she saw a government official coming towards her from a distance.

"Oh!" Mrs. Wu's face was filled with joy, and she thought that the young official was here to bring good news to the old Gu family.

She quickly turned around and ran towards the village, wanting to notify her mother-in-law and father-in-law in advance.

When she arrived at the village, Mrs. Wu, with a smile on her face, shouted to her father-in-law and mother-in-law: "Dad, mother, the official who announced the good news is here."

Sure enough, Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu were overjoyed when they heard this and quickly arranged their clothes again.

Everyone in the village also heard Wu's words, and their faces showed envy. The old Gu family is really going to be prosperous this time.

This is the first time in the entire Dongpo Village that there is a candidate for the exam!

The village chief of Dongpo Village also came. At this time, the village chief was also very excited. The Gu family was of the same clan as them.

It would be a great joy for the clan to have a master who can raise people!

"Uncle, congratulations!" The village chief said to Mr. Gu with a respectful attitude.

Mr. Gu was very impressed by the village chief's attitude. He smiled and nodded: "Yunhong has made a difference. He will never forget the villagers in the future."

The village chief was very satisfied and looked towards the entrance of the village with a smile.

However, waiting and waiting, one stick of incense, two sticks of incense, time passed little by little, but there was no trace of the little official who announced the good news that Wu said.

Wu was slightly anxious and stretched her neck to look, but still saw nothing.

Mrs. Gu became impatient and asked, "Second daughter-in-law, what's going on? Didn't you say you saw the official who announced the good news coming?"

Wu didn't know what was going on, so she simply ran towards the town again. However, this time she met the official who announced the good news and was walking back to the town.

Behind the official, there was a large group of people following him, including people from the town watching the fun, and also those little beggars, who presumably came to ask for money.

Wu took a deep breath and walked towards the clerk: "Master, have you just gone to announce the good news? Why haven't we waited for you at home for so long?"

"Did you go the wrong way or go to the wrong place?"

Until now, Wu still firmly believed that Gu Yunhong would definitely win the prize!

She even suspected that the clerk had gone to the wrong place.

However, the clerk looked at her suspiciously and asked: "Wrong place? We just finished announcing the good news, there is no way we are in the wrong place!"

Wu's heart sank: "Master, which house are you going to?"

Before the clerk could answer, the little beggar behind him rushed to say: "The Lu family, the Lu family of Xijiang Village!"

"The Lu family?" Wu's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

The Lu family, could it be the Lu family she knew? Could it be Lu Jianchuan who won the exam?

Mrs. Wu looked mournful and asked, "Master, is it Lu Jianchuan who won the exam?"

The clerk smiled and nodded.

Wu's voice trembled and she continued to ask: "Well, what about my son? My son's name is Gu Yunhong. He also participated in this provincial examination. Is his name on the list?"

When the clerk heard this, he thought about it seriously and found that he didn't seem to think of this person, so he shook his head.

"Madam, if your son is on the list and is in a nearby village, I should be the one to announce the good news."

"But I didn't receive the notification. I think I didn't win this time."

The clerk knew that those who could participate in the provincial examination must have the reputation of being a scholar, so he answered Wu's series of questions with a little more patience.

After finishing speaking, he even comforted Mrs. Wu: "Madam, the provincial examination is always very difficult. If you fail this time, you can continue to take the test next time. There is still hope."

After saying that, the clerk stopped staying and walked towards the town.

Mrs. Wu still stood there in a daze, unable to believe that her son did not win the exam, but Lu Jianchuan did.

She stood there for a long time, and finally the village chief sent someone to look for her and called her several times before she came back to her senses.

"Yun Hongniang, why are you standing here alone? The village chief asked me to come look for you? What's going on? Where is the clerk who announced the good news?"

The villagers thought that the village chief and Mr. Gu were still waiting, and they didn't know what was going on with Mrs. Wu, so they were standing alone on the roadside in a daze.

Wu's chest was tight and she felt very uncomfortable. Now it was completely over. She had made a mistake! All the joy is in vain!

What should she explain to the village chief when she returns home? How to face Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu?
