"The list is released! The list is released!"

The crowd over there became even more excited, and some people squeezed in desperately. Gu Zhao only had to watch from the outside, and lamented leisurely. The imperial examinations are too important for scholars in this era, because there is only one way out for scholars. , Once in the list, the status will be very different.

"Master, you're on the list!" Someone began to squeeze outside, shouting excitedly while squeezing, Gu Zhao saw that when the servant squeezed out, his hair was loose and he lost a shoe on his feet. Fortunately, he He didn't squeeze in, otherwise he wouldn't be much better.

"Second Brother Qi, Brother Qi was also in the same situation when he took the imperial examination, right?"

Second Young Master Qi nodded reassuringly: "Yes, this road is really hard. I don't have the ruthlessness and concentration of big brother, and my talent is far inferior to big brother, so I gave up early in the morning. In addition, the family also needs support.”

There were more shouting voices in the crowd, and Gu Zhao could only vaguely hear a few names, all of which were on the list, and suddenly a voice became louder: "Who is Song Ze, the head of the county trial case? This unknown boy is actually The case?"

Gu Zhao dug his ears and looked at Er Shao Qi: "Second Brother Qi, I didn't hear the truth, did you mean that the chief of the case is called Song Ze?"

"Is that the name of your classmate? Yes, the chief of the case they said is Song Ze."

"Haha, that's great, it's him," Gu Zhao patted his legs happily, "Song Ze won the case, and I knew he would be able to do it. It's a pity that Song Ze didn't come to the county together at home, but he will know sooner or later."

"Young Master, Young Master..." Someone over there squeezed out of the crowd and ran to this side, "Young Master, Mr. Gu has won. Mr. Gu Zhao is ranked fifth, and Mr. Gu is on the list."

"Me? Fifth?" Gu Zhao pointed at himself, a bit disbelieving that he actually got fifth in the exam?

"Haha, Li Wen can't be mistaken, Gu Zhao, you are No.5, that's great," Qi Ershao danced happily, and then patted Gu Zhao on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's go to the restaurant and give you a good celebration, brother Let’s go, let’s talk to the restaurant before I come out.”

Gu Zhao also became happy: "Okay, let's celebrate."

"By the way, Li Wen, send someone to report to the Gu family in Shuiyun Village to make Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu happy."

"All right, master."

On the same day, the master of the school also sent someone to guard the gate of the county government office, and after the list was released, he copied down the list of names on the list. The master saw that five people had gone to the school, and three of them won, especially Song Ze, who got the first place in the case. , laughed excitedly, and said quickly after laughing: "Hurry up, have someone notify these three families separately, I wonder if they are guarding in the county, and they need to get the good news as soon as possible."

In Shuiyun Village, the Song family, Song Ze, wrote big characters with confidence, and seemed not to care about today's release of the list, but Mother Song was walking back and forth worriedly at home, and walked past her son's window, holding back and asking : "Ze'er really doesn't need to go to the county to take a look?"

Song Ze looked up and saw Mother Song outside the window, and comforted him: "Mother, don't worry, there will be guards coming to report."

Seeing her son not in a hurry, Song's mother couldn't help thinking that sometimes Gu Zhao's temperament was a bit out of touch, but at this time she would rather Gu Zhao and her son were on the same level.

Mrs. Gu's family was also walking around in the main room, looking as if he was going to grind the ground down. The old lady couldn't help but said, "Don't go, it makes me dizzy."

The old man said: "Then I'll go out? Do you think Zhao'er will ask someone to come back and report a letter after seeing the results?"

"This...should be possible, right?" The old lady wondered, is the old son such a considerate person?In the eyes of the old lady, the old son is still a child.

"No, I'll go to the entrance of the village to have a look." The old man couldn't stay at home any longer, so he turned around and walked out after speaking, leaving the old lady to suffer alone.

At the entrance of the village, a villager was sitting idle, and only remembered when he saw the old man coming: "It seems that the county test is about to produce results today, the old man can't sit still at home, right?"

Seeing that everyone looked at him with interest, Mr. Gu was worried that his old son would not do well in the exam this time, so he didn't dare to say anything big, lest his failure would make his old son laugh at others, so he said, "I'll come out and leave." Let's go, relax your muscles."

"Haha, it's good to relax your muscles and bones."

Everyone in the village knows well that the two elders of the Gu family had this old son after they embraced their grandson, so they raised this old son in their hands. Recently, everyone's views on Gu Zhao have changed a bit, because it is said that the Gu family The family will be separated, and the root cause lies in Gu Zhao. The eldest brother Gu and the second brother are unwilling to tighten their belts for Gu Zhao to study alone, and it is said that Gu Zhao's grades are not very good. Compared with the Song family who also study in the town Song Ze is much worse.

Everyone laughed inwardly, because Mr. Gu regarded this old son as a treasure, so he was restless when the list was announced, and even ran out to wait. From their point of view, they were destined to be disappointed.

However, I heard that Song Ze from the Song family is a good student, if he can become a scholar in the future, it will be of great benefit to Shuiyun Village.

"Song Ze from the Song family hasn't seen the marriage yet. That child is born well and he's up to date."

"Hey, did you like Song Ze and wanted to see a son-in-law for your family?"

"Haha, of course we have to start as soon as possible. Don't you want to have a talented son-in-law?"

"But it's too difficult to be a scholar. The old boy from the next village hasn't been on the list after many years of exams. The family lives in poverty, which is not as good as that of ordinary people in the same village."

Everyone is talking about it. If Song Ze is an orphan and a widow, if Song Ze doesn’t pass the exam, it is indeed not a good marriage partner. No matter whose daughter marries in, it is very obvious that Song’s mother will support Song Ze to continue his studies. This is a burden. too big.

The old man listened absent-mindedly. He lived on a rock, but his eyes kept staring outside. After a while, he rubbed his eyes and asked the people next to him: "Is there a stranger coming to our village from outside?"

"Is someone visiting relatives? Oh, this is riding a big horse."

The old man quickly got up and walked a few steps quickly, then slowed down quickly, so as not to let others see that he was too anxious.

On the small road leading to the outside, one person and one horse walked closer and closer, and when they got close, someone came to rein in the horse, and then politely asked: "Uncles and aunts, where do you go to Mr. Gu Zhao's house?"

"The Gu family? Isn't Mr. Gu right here? He is Gu Zhao's biological father. What are you doing with Gu Zhao's family?"

"Yes, it's Gu Zhao's father for me," the old man's heart beat faster, he hurried out and asked eagerly, "What does the young man want from our Gu family?"

It was Li Wen himself who came to report the letter. He simply came to visit in person. Unexpectedly, he met Mr. Gu's father when he first arrived in Shuiyun Village, and said happily: "Ah, so you are Mr. Gu's father, Mr. Gu, Congratulations to you from the young one. The young one is a servant of the Second Young Master Qi in Qinghe County. As soon as the county examination list came out, the master asked the young one to come to report the good news for Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu was on the list in the county examination, yes No. 5!"

"Really?" The old man was dizzy, he didn't hear it wrong, it really is No.5.

"Yes, it is No.5. If you see it clearly, there will be no mistakes."

The people at the entrance of the village were all excited, chattering all over the place.

"Oh my god, Gu Zhao from the Gu family passed the county test and got No.5."

"I didn't expect that even Gu Zhao passed the exam, and he was still No.5. It's incredible."

Just when the old man heard this, he said angrily: "What's wrong with my child? How can it be unbelievable that my Zhao'er is on the list? My Zhao'er is obviously a filial and obedient child."

The villagers were embarrassed and apologized quickly.
