Gu Chengyu looked around at the shops on both sides, but didn't find who it was, so he could only throw the embroidered shoes in his hand in front of a shop. There was no way, the girl's shoes couldn't be taken randomly, if they were carried in the arms, then
She has to marry someone else. I don’t know who lost her mind for a moment and threw the embroidered shoes over. I will have to find them when the time comes.
"Xiaobao!" Gu Wan finally saw Gu Chengyu. Her Xiaobao really won the top prize.
Gu Wan looked at the handsome young man on the horse and cried with joy. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief in her hand. She was four years older than Xiaobao, but it was Xiaobao who always accommodated her.
Now that Xiaobao is older and has even passed the first prize, how happy would his parents be if they knew about it? No! Not only his parents, but also the Gu family would be overjoyed.
cigarette.
When Gu Chengyu heard the name Xiaobao, he knew that it was the second sister and the others who were here. Only the second sister in the capital would call him that.
He looked up, and sure enough, weren't his second sister and his wife, Ming Mo, and the others standing at the window? Gu Chengyu smiled at his second sister and waved, irritating those women again.
A wolf howled.
"Chengyu has really passed the first prize, let me tell you! Chengyu is a top scholar, so he will definitely be in the top three."
Sun Xian has always been convinced by this brother-in-law. How many people with such natural talents can there be in the world? Gu Chengyu is not only talented, but also works hard and can be admitted to the top of the exam. Talent accounts for most of it, and the rest is naturally relying on
own efforts.
When the guard of honor was approaching, Princess Rongjia felt that there was no one else in the world, because she could only see that person in her eyes.
The young man is wearing a red No. 1 Scholar uniform, and his posture is upright. He can only be described as having a cold jade appearance, condensed autumn water, and a very beautiful posture.
"Ah! So this is Gu Zhuangyuan?" Yao Mengdie held the handkerchief and looked at Gu Chengyu, who was wearing a big red flower below. Her face was as red as the morning glow under the veil.
Regardless of men and women, they always like to see beautiful colors. Gu Chengyu's face is like a crown jewel, which always makes the girl's family shy. However, it is just admiration! To say that they have been secretly in love since then is a bit exaggerated. The woman in the deep house compound
, which one is simple?
In the future, marriage will be based on the family status of the husband's family, and it has little to do with appearance. Of course, if the appearance is pleasing to the eye, it will be more perfect. Gu Chengyu is from a grassroots background. Even if he wins the top prize, he will have to start from the sixth grade.
.
And the children of those aristocratic families all have the quota of Enyin. From the perspective of the sixth rank in the capital, they can only be regarded as small officials. If it comes to potential, Gu Chengyu does have it, but who can wait for so long?
Besides, the officialdom is changing rapidly, and capable in-laws are very important.
Princess Rongjia murmured to herself: "He is as talented as Zijian and as handsome as Pan An."
Yao Mengxian glanced at Princess Rongjia, and she didn't expect that the princess, who usually had a higher level of eyesight, would have such comments about Gu Chengyu. It seemed that Gu Chengyu's appearance had a big impact on Princess Rongjia.
Gu Chengyu suddenly heard someone calling his full name. He glanced up and saw that it was Zhu Pang.
At this time, Zhu Pang was standing at the window looking down. He waved and shouted to Gu Chengyu: "Chengyu! Chengyu! Here."
In order to attract Gu Chengyu's attention, he suddenly took off his jade pendant and threw it towards Gu Chengyu. Gu Chengyu happened to look over and saw an unknown object flying towards him, so he reflexively hid aside.
Zhu Pang's throw was accurate and the jade pendant fell on the horse. Gu Chengyu glared at Zhu Pang and had no choice but to put his jade pendant in his arms and prepare to return it to him later.
Who knew that this move would break the hearts of everyone.
"Ah! Does Yulang like men?" A fourteen-year-old girl was heartbroken.
"Didn't you say that you played a song with the oiran from Tianxiang Pavilion before? The song was very nice. You probably don't like men, right?"
Yao Mengxian and the others happened to be opposite Zhu Pang and watched Zhu Pang throw the jade pendant away with their own eyes.
"Did Zhu Pang and Gu Chengyu know each other a long time ago?" Princess Rongjia's face darkened. This Zhu Pang was a dandy, and everyone in Beijing knew him. From the look of him, he seemed to be an old acquaintance with Gu Chengyu.
"These two were in the Imperial College together and are classmates and good friends." Yao Mengxian heard this and stepped forward to explain.
She knew that Princess Rongjia was asking about her, because Gu Chengyu was her maternal ancestor's disciple. She always knew something about Gu Chengyu's situation. If she didn't reply, Princess Rongjia would inevitably think that she was contemptuous of the royal majesty.
In any case, Gu Chengyu didn't expect that because of his casual action, the news that he liked the man would spread like wildfire and spread throughout the cities.
Because of the enthusiasm of the people, Gu Chengyu had to end the horse parade early and was sent back to his home.
Tomorrow is the Enrong Banquet. Gu Chengyu only ate a piece of cake to fill his stomach this morning, and he was already hungry now.
"Xiaobao! I didn't expect that you really became the number one scholar. If your parents find out, they will be very happy." Gu Wan and the others have already arrived at the mansion. When Jiang Cai and the others came in, the people living nearby were already waiting at the door of the mansion.
I congratulated you before, now everyone knows that there is a champion living in this house.
Gu Wan knew that her mother had been looking forward to this day for a long time. When the family life was hard, her mother wanted Xiaobao to go. Later, when the family life became better, her mother finally got her wish. And now that her younger brother won the top prize, her mother
My wish to become Mrs. Gaoming is about to come true.
"Ming Mo, you asked someone to bring the wedding money and scatter it outside the door of the house, making the neighbors feel happy." Gu Chengyu won the first prize, and it is customary to scatter wedding money. Such a huge happy event should be celebrated by everyone.
Happiness is.
"Hey! Don't worry, sir, the wedding money has been prepared as you ordered, and there's a whole basket of it!" The wedding money is copper plates exchanged for silver, and such a basket costs hundreds of taels of silver!
There was joy everywhere in the house, and even the servants, Gu Chengyu, gave them rewards.
"Xiaobao! I heard that after becoming the number one scholar, you can be directly appointed as an official. Will your mother get a royal title?" Gu Wan was very concerned about this. Her mother had been looking forward to this day for several years.
Sun Xian smiled and said, "How can you think so? Although Chengyu is the number one scholar and can be directly assigned to the Hanlin Academy for compilation, but that is an official position from the sixth rank. Since the previous dynasty, only officials of the sixth rank and above can invite family members.
.However, it must be someone who has achieved some political achievements, and it is not a decree, but an imperial edict."
In fact, one thing Sun Xian didn't mention was that Gu Wan's mother, the Lu family, was a stepmother. If Chengyu asked for the title, he would have to first pursue the title of his first wife, Da He, and then apply for the title for the Lu family.
Gu Chengyu pinched the corner of the No. 1 Scholar's uniform and paused. In fact, he had thought of this a long time ago. However, he was only from the sixth rank now. He might have to stay in the Hanlin Academy for another three years before he could be promoted to a higher rank.
It will be three years later, so there is no need to worry about this now.
