Others felt a little regretful when they saw that Gu Chengyu was not number one. At the same time, they were also thinking that it seemed that Gu Chengyu was not invincible. There were so many talented people in the world. Gu Chengyu was no longer so unattainable in their hearts.
"What about me?" Gu Wanhua didn't have time to lament Gu Chengyu's ranking. He just wanted to know whether he had passed or not.
"Young Master Hua passed, and was ranked 438th." Ming Mo wiped his sweat and reported everyone's rankings. There were too many seat numbers on the list, and he finally found everyone's seat numbers.
, the seat number written in my hand was almost wet with sweat. There were too many people, but I’m glad that everyone passed!
"Ah? Did I really pass? The ranking is quite high! That's great!" Gu Wanhua almost shouted happily.
The others knew they had passed, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Among the others, Ye Zhiqiu ranked highest, but that was also thirty-eight!
But at this moment, the crowd suddenly became chaotic. There seemed to be a circle in the middle, and people outside the circle spread out.
Some candidates shouted inside, "Everyone, please give way! He fainted!"
Gu Chengyu and the others didn't pay attention at first. They were wailing and cheering when they looked at the results. The candidates had become accustomed to it, and now they didn't know what happened!
He Shunian was very curious and hurried forward to inquire!
"Senior brother, what happened inside?" He Shunian pulled over an examinee who ran out of the crowd and asked.
"You don't know! There is an examinee in his fifties or sixties. He is older. He was standing next to me just now. It seems that there is no seat number for him in this case. He searched for it many times and couldn't find it.
He even asked me to help him find his seat number! Alas! Didn’t he fail the exam again? The general passed by, and I don’t know if there are any candidates who came with him, so I’d better send him to the hospital!”
The examinee sighed and shook his head. However, Gu Chengyu could tell from his tone that he had passed. The examinee who fainted might have been caused by qi congestion and blood stagnation after being angry. It was common for him to faint from anger!
Gu Chengyu squeezed through the crowd and saw that the examinee was still lying on the ground. He was already unconscious, but no one came to help him! He thought he didn't know him.
"Everyone, please stop surrounding him and relax! Senior Brother Sun! Go and call the guards over and take him to the hospital!"
"Hey! I'll call!" Sun Xian immediately went out to find the Yamen servant.
Gu Chengyu stepped forward and pinched the examinee. After pinching for a while, he saw that the examinee slowly woke up. He was a little confused at the moment and hadn't remembered what happened just now.
"Are you okay?" When Gu Chengyu saw the person waking up, he asked the examinee next to him to carry him to the side and lie down under the tree!
When the guards arrived, Gu Chengyu and the others were already on their way back to the inn.
Everyone is a little silent. They know that the scientific examination is difficult. Now is the government examination. There will be so many exams in the future. Maybe one of them will be rejected! They are afraid that like this examinee, he has children and grandchildren, and still has to take the exam.
Go to the examination room.
"What happened? It's all over. You should be happy. Go back and read hard and prepare for the next show!" Seeing that everyone was not in high spirits, Gu Chengyu encouraged him.
"Uncle! Do you think we will still take the exam at this age? I always pass by a narrow margin, I'm afraid."
Gu Wanhua felt a little confused at the moment. If he failed the exam this time, he would have to start over again. It would have to be three years later. The exam will be taken every three years. How many three years can he have? Even if he is lucky enough to win the Jinshi in the future, can he still do it?
Are you an official? Are you very old?
"If you don't try hard, how will you know that you can't pass? If it doesn't work once, then try again. You are still young, what are you afraid of? Say something depressing. Even if you don't get a good grade in the exam, just go out and do it like your father.
Is it better to be a shopkeeper or accountant than digging in the fields? Don’t think too much, just try your best to take the exam!"
Gu Chengyu knew that Gu Wanhua had never had confidence in him, but didn't he pass every exam?
"Yes! Wanhua! Don't worry unfounded, try your best to take the exam!" Sun Xian patted Gu Wanhua on the shoulder and consoled him.
Ye Zhiqiu and He Shunian also hurriedly stepped forward to comfort them. In fact, they were somewhat confused, but if they thought about it carefully, they were not necessarily in the age of knowing their fate, right?
When Gu Chengyu and the others returned to the inn, they saw shopkeeper Niu standing in front of the counter with a glowing face.
"Ouch! You guys are here to see the rankings, right? But you've all passed?"
"Thanks to the shopkeeper, everything has passed!" He Shunian replied with a smile.
"Look at the shopkeeper's radiant face, but is there any happy event?" Gu Chengyu guessed that shopkeeper Niu had gained some benefits in the government office!
"Speaking of which, I have to thank a few young masters for this. The gang of thieves caught today are not simple! It turns out that they are a group of bandits. They have been running around in Fengding Prefecture before, and they came to our Jingyuan Prefecture just now.
Yes, I was caught by Mr. Gu as soon as I started doing this. These are only six of them, and there are still others who didn’t come to Fengding Mansion. Anyway, the magistrate said that they have made a great contribution this time!"
Shopkeeper Niu explained to everyone, during which he glanced at Gu Chengyu, and then smiled unnaturally.
Gu Chengyu smiled and didn't care about this. When he caught these people, he had already said that he didn't want to get involved in this matter. The most important thing was that he thought it was better to keep a distance from Magistrate Chiang!
"Really? We all slept to death in the morning and we didn't know about this!" Sun Xian and others later heard Ming Mo say it, but they couldn't imagine the scene at that time!
Shopkeeper Niu reminded everyone a few more words, just take good care of your own property.
"Mr. Gu, do you have some free time now? I wonder if I can take a step to talk!" Shopkeeper Niu smiled a little sheepishly, always feeling that Gu Chengyu's eyes looked at him with deep meaning.
Gu Chengyu asked others to go up first, and shopkeeper Niu invited Gu Chengyu to sit down at a square table.
"Mr. Gu also knows that although I sent the person there, when he enters the government office, the prefect will inevitably ask how he caught the thief, so I have no choice but to tell the truth. I am not the one who pretends to take credit. It's just that I am now
I have a heartfelt request."
Shopkeeper Niu picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea for Gu Chengyu, handed it to Gu Chengyu, and looked at Gu Chengyu flatteringly.
"If you have something to do, shopkeeper Niu, feel free to tell me. If I can help you, of course I'm willing to lend a helping hand!" Gu Chengyu picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. This was just ordinary big-leaf green tea. It seems that shopkeeper Niu's inn doesn't earn much money.
many.
"That's right! I want to ask the young master to include me when he receives the merit. Of course, I don't want a cent of the reward. I just want to gain fame. The young master also sees it. All the people who come to stay in my inn are
Common people, few nobles are interested in my little inn, and I don’t earn much on weekdays. I just want to get some fame, maybe it can make my inn business better!" Shopkeeper Niu also wants everyone to know that he
The shopkeeper is very responsible and you are guaranteed to stay at his inn!
"Oh! I am also in a hurry and seek medical treatment. I don't know if it will be of any use. Everyone knows that there was a thief in my inn. The business was a bit slow at first. It is still passable on weekdays, but I came to check out this morning.
There are only a few of them!”
Gu Chengyu looked at the thin tall man in front of him. Shopkeeper Niu was in his forties. He was friendly and good at doing business. He was a bit underwhelmed by his talents!
"Shopkeeper Niu! Did you buy or rent this inn?" Gu Chengyu, however, was not in a hurry to answer Shopkeeper Niu's question.
