Although Gu Ren has also made a lot of money through workshops and car dealerships, he is still very excited about the harvest this time. Gu Zhao reminded him that Gu Ren understands the worries of the third uncle, and promises that he will only be in the third uncle's exam. Bet on it once, and won't bet on it at other times.

He was upset before, why those people in Jiangtai City didn't think highly of his third uncle and Song Ze, but now it proved that those people were wrong, and they had a better vision.

The day after the announcement of the rankings was the Luming Banquet, hosted by the chief examiner, Mr. Sun.

Ordinarily, the three of Gu Zhao and Lu Ming Banquet should shine brightly, and Song Ze in the book world was accepted as a disciple by the chief examiner, making a good teacher-student story, but this time the chief examiner's attitude towards them was a little flat, of course In the eyes of others, the three of them were still the focus of the whole banquet, but Gu Zhao still felt something unusual in it.

At the Lu Ming Banquet, Gu Zhao also contributed a poem. In fact, it was all out of his usual practice. His poems can only be said to be above the passing line. It is impossible to stand out, so he also Don't really care what other people think.

As for whether he will doubt his grades, the test papers of the top ten candidates were posted in front of the Yamen yesterday afternoon. After reading the test papers, who would dare to question Gu Zhao? He won No.5 by virtue of his own ability , maybe his poems are not outstanding, but his arithmetic and strategy theory are quite good.

Not only Gu Zhao felt this way, Ye Xiuming and Song Ze also felt this way.

"The chief examiner, Mr. Sun, came from the Ministry of Rites. I think Mr. Sun has a good relationship with that Ding Shangshu. I didn't give Mr. Ding face in Jiangnan, but I didn't give Ding Shang a letter. As Ding Shangshu's subordinate, naturally It will be a little colder for us."

Ye Xiuming sighed and shook his head: "It's really troublesome."

Gu Zhao said with a smile: "Even in troubled times, you have to face the difficulties. When will you leave for the capital?"

Song Ze and Ye Xiuming looked at each other and smiled. Neither of them wanted to give up the next year's examination. They have come to this point. How can they stop fighting? The space is far inferior to Jinshi, and they are not too old. Even if they fail the next year's test, they can wait three years to fight again.

"Then let's make an appointment to set off together. When we return to the capital, Brother Song and I will have to take care of you, Gu Zhao." Ye Xiuming laughed. Although his father was also an official in the capital, compared with Gu Zhao's backstage , That's a big difference.

"No problem, that guy Gu Mu has already urged me to go to Beijing, and his Viscount Mansion has already been repaired."

Gu Zhao and Song Ze set off to return to Qingling Mansion after attending the Luming Banquet. If they don’t leave, I don’t know how many people will visit him. No. 5 in high school, there is still a big difference between the Viscount Xiucai and the Viscount Juren, especially at his age. It can be said that as long as nothing happens, he will be a Jinshi.

For his bright future, many wealthy businessmen and gentry and even some officials want to leave a name with Gu Zhao, and there are quite a few people who come to give gifts to Song Ze. The little Sanyuan and the identity of Xie Yuan in the township examination are overwhelming. The two talents, Qin and Chen, who were optimistic about him caused his market to rise rapidly, and Song Ze couldn't bear the disturbance, so he hurriedly packed up his money and ran away with Gu Zhao.

They were still on the way, and the news of the high school rankings in the rural examination spread to Qingling Mansion first, and the yamen guards beat gongs and drums to announce the good news. The alley was full of firecrackers all day long, and children screamed and laughed everywhere. run.

Song's mother and Gu's family were very happy, and Li Shi also asked people to buy a lot of firecrackers and set them off at the door, and also sprinkled a lot of wedding money, causing some adults to grab them with the children. There were constant congratulations, and many people Said that the Li family is a blessed one, but the son who didn't recognize him was not only a viscount, but also passed the Juren examination.

I believe that when this news spreads back to Shuiyun Village in Qinghe County, it will be quite lively again. For Shuiyun Village, there are two candidates, one of whom is Xie Yuan, who has long been famous in Shuiyun Village. , this time the reputation will go up to a higher level.

In Beijing, Gu Mu also immediately got the list of all Jiangtai City's rural examinations. Seeing that Gu Zhao's name was ranked fifth, he cheered excitedly, more forgetful than himself when he was promoted from baron to viscount.

Yan Xiangxi was puzzled and said: "As for what, isn't it just that he was admitted to Juren?"

Gu Mu despised her: "What do you know? My brother is coming to the capital this time, and he will develop in the capital in the future. I haven't seen my brother for a long time. Besides, you think the rural exam is so easy? Didn't read this Going back to the Beijing city and country exams, how many failed candidates are crying, my brother passed the exam, that's my brother!"

"Yes, it's your brother and not someone else's brother, look at you."

Although Yan Xiangxi said so, she was quite surprised that Gu Zhaoneng passed the exam in one go. Of course she knew that it was not easy to get on the list in the rural examination. Not all of the famous talents in the capital are on the list. This test will show whether the usual talent names are worthwhile.

As far as she knew, that Yu Wenshao also took part in the provincial examination, but unfortunately, he took part secretly, but left in a daze, because he was not on the list, so it can be seen how much water his talent and reputation have been rumored before. Compared with Gu Zhao This real son of the Yu family is much worse.

Gu Mu was also happy for himself, and then shared the good news with his mother and concubine. The Princess of Southwest was also happy for Gu Zhao. After Gu Zhao came to the capital, her son also had friends. Gu Mu did not go away with other contemporaries in the capital in the past two years. Closer, except for Gu Zhao, he still seems to be quite withdrawn and out of gregarious to others.

Song Cheng naturally knew that Gu Zhaoneng's coming to the capital was of course good for him, so this result was very gratifying to him. After returning home, he told Mrs. Song that Mr. Tang, who succeeded him, would be blessed. This was all ready-made and sent to him As far as the political achievements in hand, apart from Gu Zhao and Song Ze being on the list this time, Qingling Mansion also produced two candidates. These results are quite outstanding. Ye Xiuming was only a borrower at the government school, so it can't be regarded as Qingling Mansion's achievements.

Gu Zhao and Song Ze returned to Qingling Mansion and stayed for half a month. After half a month, they packed their bags and set off for the capital. Although the elders were very reluctant, they couldn't wait to send them away, because they also saw it, and stayed behind. In Qingling Mansion, there is no way to study hard and prepare for the next year's exam, because there are too many people posting posts and wanting to come to the door, there is no quiet time for coming and going, so let's go to the capital as soon as possible, there are too many nobles , multiple Gu Zhaos would not be too conspicuous.

The people in Qingling Mansion were so enthusiastic that Gu Zhao and Song Ze felt overwhelmed, so they seemed to be running away. When they left Qingling Mansion, they looked at each other and laughed, and they had to rush to Jiangtai City to meet Ye Xiuming.

Originally, Li Shi was supposed to go back to the capital with Gu Zhao. She came to Qingling Mansion because her son was here, but she never thought that she would have her own business in the past two years in Qingling Mansion. The son still can't live without her, so he can only send his son away with regret, and plans to train his successors well in the next period of time. If Gu Zhao will try to be a high school scholar, then she must return to the capital. It can be carried out without being too far away from the son.

Therefore, only Shi Mao and Shi Mao accompanied Gu Zhao all the way to Beijing. Fortunately, there was Gu Mu in the capital. The elders of the Gu family and Li Shi were not very worried. It would not be too late to go to the capital if Ze High School.

It was still autumn, the sky was high and the air was clear, so it took the three of them twice as long to arrive in the capital as usual, because the three of them stopped to admire the scenery when they encountered a beautiful place, which was also a way to let themselves go in the tense township exam. Afterwards, relax a bit. Gu Mu, who was waiting in the capital, was so anxious that he almost wanted to take someone out of the capital. Fortunately, Gu Zhao and the others finally arrived.

"elder brother!"

Gu Zhao was also a little excited when he heard the familiar and intimate calls, but before he got out of the carriage, there was a gust of wind blowing over, the curtain was lifted, and a handsome smiling face was presented in front of his eyes. who is it.

"wood!"

"elder brother!"

"wood!"

Song Ze and Ye Xiuming shook their heads speechlessly. Do you want to call so excitedly and affectionately? Calling once is not enough, you need to call twice or three times. The two jumped off the carriage, not to disturb the reunion of the brothers and tell each other about their brotherhood.

Seeing that Gu Mu had gotten into the carriage, Ye Xiuming touched the goosebumps on his arms and said, "The brotherhood between these two is really touching."

Song Ze teased, "At least I contributed, but I didn't see this guy thinking about me all the time."

Ye Xiuming laughed out loud.

Gu Mu got into the carriage and hugged Gu Zhao fiercely, with such force that Gu Zhao bumped his head into the boy's chest, making his nose hurt, and the normal saline made his eyes watery. Touching his nose, he said: "My good fellow, it seems that you haven't been lazy in the past few years. Your body alone is much stronger than before. This must be an impregnable wall."

Seeing his brother's watery eyes, Gu Mu's heart beat faster, but afraid of scaring his brother, Gu Mu deliberately puffed up his chest and said, "Of course, I am much stronger than my brother now, and I will protect my brother in the future."

Gu Zhao patted the kid's head, and said with a smile, "There are so many people who hate me and want to deal with me, can you think of something better for me?"

"I miss my brother." Gu Mu couldn't help but hugged his brother again. It's great that my brother came to the capital. This time, he will definitely be replaced to protect my brother. My brother can do whatever he wants in the future, and he doesn't need to have any scruples. Knowing that my brother will have much more things than what I have taken out now, but because of my worries, I dare not take out some things.

Gu Zhao patted Gu Mu on the back in relief, sighing unceasingly. Back then, he thought he had saved a wolf cub, but he never thought that after raising it, he would become a domesticated one. Being separated for such a long time did not change the relationship between them. Dan, this kid is still as clingy as before.
