It was getting late, the court dispersed, and the officials dispersed one after another.

The students surrounded Zheng Ziming in twos and threes, and laughter came out from time to time. Gu Mingzhou walked not far away, but no one dared to talk to him.

Wu Jiaxing murmured dissatisfiedly: "Those who don't know think he's the number one pick. He's just a candidate. How can he compare to you?"

He then sighed again: "Brother Gu Xian, you are too bold. You have offended so many adults, what will you do in the future? Look, everyone is avoiding you like a god of plague."

Gu Mingzhou smiled calmly, as if he wasn't worried.

Wu Jiaxing really convinced him, the first thing he did when he won the first prize was to poke a huge hole, how will he mess around in the officialdom in the future?

"I'm about to go to Hangzhou for a job. I can't help you. You must not be so reckless in the future." Wu Jiaxing looked worried.

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal," Gu Mingzhou patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, just go."

This is not a big deal, so what is a big deal, beheading? !Wu Jiaxing was almost suffocated.

When they got home, Bai Yuxin happened to have just returned, and the two of them bumped into each other at the door, and they were both taken aback.

Gu Mingzhou let out a long sigh of relief, and took his hand naturally: "Why did you come back, what did you do?"

Dongbai hesitated to speak behind Gu Mingzhou, and was glared back by Bai Yuxin, so he could only bear it angrily.

"Business matters," Bai Yuxin looked back, and frowned slightly, "How is today?"

Gu Mingzhou didn't know anything about the eye contact between them, and was about to speak, when suddenly he heard the sound of gongs and drums outside.

The voice gradually approached, and an eunuch entered the door, and said with a smile: "Zhuangyuan Lang, the emperor's grace, you have rewarded a lot of things, why don't you listen to the reward?"

There was a lot of kneeling in the courtyard, Bai Yuxin was stunned at first, but Gu Mingzhou pulled his sleeves, and then he came back to his senses, and knelt down to listen to the imperial edict.

Number One Scholar Number One Scholar... Bai Yuxin couldn't believe his ears, Gu Mingzhou really passed the exam?

Gu Mingzhou spoke auspicious words to the eunuch for a while, and then a group of people gathered at the door to watch the excitement from the alleys on all sides, vying to witness the demeanor of the champion. Gu Mingzhou was calm and calm from the beginning to the end, not proud or cramped .

Bai Yuxin lowered his eyelashes, and suddenly saw a piece of dirt on his boots, subconsciously flinched.

It was dirty when the Ministry of Punishment visited Yang Meng.

He hadn't paid attention to it before, but now he suddenly felt that this dirty mark was so eye-catching, and the strong sense of existence made him at a loss, even standing beside Gu Mingzhou felt that he was humiliated.

"Daughter-in-law, am I good?" The crowd dispersed, and Gu Mingzhou leaned in front of him, smiling admiringly, his moist black eyes staring straight at him, like a big cheerful dog.

"Excellent." Bai Yuxin suppressed all redundant thoughts and smiled.

At the same time, the news spread to Jingyun Town in Huizhou.

The old Gu's family finished a business and went back to their hometown for rectification. They were drying ham at home when they suddenly saw someone coming towards them from outside. When they took a closer look, it was the head of the Gu family.

The patriarch is in charge of many matters of the entire Gu family, and he is too busy. Why would he come to them when he has nothing to do?

9.7.9.9

The fifth child, Gu Yutang, hurried back to the house and called Mr. Gu.

Mr. Gu came out in a daze, and saw the patriarch running over in three steps and two steps. He didn't pay attention when he entered the door, tripped on the threshold, and almost fell into the mud.

"Oh, patriarch, you should be more careful!" Gu Yutang supported him with sharp eyes and quick hands, "What's the rush?"

"No. [-], No. [-] Scholar..." The patriarch grabbed Gu Yutang's sleeve without taking a breath, "Mingzhou has won the No. [-] Scholar!!!"

The fourth brother Gu Yongde's hands trembled, and he missed one of them, the huge ham fell down, knocked over the bowl full of seasonings, and splashed the boss Gu Chengwen all over, but he was dumbfounded and didn't respond.

The patriarch swallowed his saliva, breathed more evenly, and said with a big smile, "It's really the Wenqu star who came down to earth, how many three-yuan and first-ranked talents can there be in the world? It just happened to come from our Jingyun Gu family, the ancestors have spirits in the sky , bless us!"

Three yuan and the first!

Mr. Gu almost slipped and fell to the ground. He stood against the wall for a while before recovering from the explosive news: "Patriarch, you can't make fun of us. This...is this true?"

"Can there be fakes? When Jieyuan and Huiyuan were in Mingzhou, you were all doing business outside and couldn't find anyone. When you came back, you heard such good news. Are you happy?" The patriarch praised, " Or do you teach children, why is it so hard for someone else to have a tribute?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Mr. Gu's face.

Everyone in the old Gu family knew that the treatment Gu Mingzhou received at home was really not good, let's just talk about going out to study, and he didn't ask the family for a penny.Everyone thinks that there is no such person in the family, and one point of burden is one point. As for studying... so what if you are admitted to the scholar, isn't it the second Gu Juncai?

Who would have thought that if Gu Mingzhou didn't say anything, as soon as there was news, he would be the champion of the three yuan and the first place!

Gu Yongde, the fourth child, was the most worried. He drove Bai Yuxin out with his own hands. Now that Gu Mingzhou has gained power, if we meet again in the future, can we let him go?

At this time, the patriarch also suddenly remembered something, the joy on his face faded a little, he approached Mr. Gu and whispered: "Brother Qi in your family..."

Driven away by them on the road to trade.

The embarrassment on Mr. Gu's face became even worse: "What happened to him?"

"If you ask me, you are so confused! How can anyone find a Qi brother for their descendants?" The patriarch scolded, "Whether Mingzhou does not pass the exam, the family should be passed on to the next generation, and now he has become the champion. This brother Qi is a stumbling block in his official career!"

Mr. Gu thought about it, didn't he?The top three in the scientific examination are all hot young talents in the capital, and there are countless who have abandoned their wives and children, and married others—with the support of a powerful father-in-law, is it just around the corner?

The current Gu Mingzhou is not only married, but also a brother-in-law. Which girl is willing to marry?

When the patriarch left, all members of the Gu family gathered together to discuss.

"It's better to ask Yutang to go to Beijing and talk to Mingzhou." Gu Chengwen said.

Gu Yongde hurriedly said: "No, if that Bai Yuxin is stubborn and stubborn, and refuses to leave, Mingzhou can't bear to reconcile, isn't it in vain? In my opinion, it's better to write a letter first and talk about it in private."

Only Gu Yutang had black lines all over his face.

He saw with his own eyes how Gu Mingzhou used Bai Yuxin's tricks, if he didn't like it, would he put so much thought into it?It's useless for them to discuss so much here!

"Hey, Dad, why don't you forget it..."

Mr. Gu frowned, squinted and looked in the direction of the capital, and took a puff of dry cigarette.

"No, we must reconcile."
