Chapter 234 235.

"It's all your own fault. Why did you go and provoke them?" Gu Yuanhuo cursed angrily.

"I am so angry. We are all family, but how can we be inferior to those servants?

I see them hanging around there all day, doing nothing and yelling at us. I feel so angry.

This old man's wife is really, she can't tell the difference between inside and outside, isn't she just taking advantage of the fact that the old man is not at home right now? And there are some previous grudges, so she wants to make trouble for us."

Gu Yuanshui, "You think too highly of yourselves, just like what the seventh wife just said, what can you do?

We brothers only have a handful of strength in our hands, how dare we dream of the carpenter's work? We are all building a house for Lao Qi, don't we know that the foreman's work is easier and the salary is more?

But can we do that? We can't even keep accounts, and we are still Lao Qi's brothers? Did we say anything?"

Li Xiaohua and Liu Liu shrank back their necks after being scolded, "What should we do now?"

"How can we know what to do? Old Seven is not at home, and there is no one to intercede for us.

Don't waste time here, both of you. Go back first."

Gu Yuanjin was somewhat glad that his wife did not get involved with these two people this time, otherwise he would not know when the Le family would be able to raise the betrothal gift.

Butler Fu had been standing by waiting, so Li Xiaohua and Liu Liu could only grit their teeth and leave.

"It's really worrying," Gu Yuanshui and the others knew that if Gu Wenheng passed the imperial examination again this time, they, the brothers, would have to rely on this younger brother to stand up straight in the future.

Now that my wife is making such a fuss again, I hope the seventh brother’s wife won’t bear a grudge, otherwise the relationship between the brothers will be strained in the future.

As soon as Gu Wenheng arrived at the lobby of the inn, he found that it was full of people early in the morning.

"Wenheng, here," Liu Wenping, who had been relatively silent, had already dressed in new clothes and waved at him excitedly.

"Brother Liu, so early?"

Liu Wenping, "It's getting late. The list should be out in a while.

Where is your book boy? Ask him to go and check the list immediately."

Gu Wenheng thought of Hong Tianbao who was still packing his bags in the room, and smiled, "Don't worry, the entrance to the yamen should be crowded with people at this time, and it's not easy to squeeze in. I'll let him go after everyone has finished watching."

"Aren't you nervous?" Liu Wenping also felt that he was too excited and calmed down a little.

"Are you nervous or not? The results are out now. We are just waiting. What difference does it make if it's earlier or later?" Gu Wenheng had experienced many exams, big and small, and he was not nervous even when the college entrance examination results came out, let alone now.

But he didn't know that his calmness made Dean Lu admire him even more. "The younger generation is indeed formidable. We are really old, and none of our children can withstand the test."

Wang Buyi thought silently in his heart that his past self seemed to have tried to squeeze into the list himself, but he still couldn't compare.

At this time, Lu Ping rushed in and dragged Gu Wenheng to the corner, "I won, I won the first place."

Gu Wenheng, "What are you talking about?"

"You won. You won the first place." Lu Ping stroked his chest. As soon as he got the news, he didn't even ask anyone to prepare a carriage. He trotted all the way here.

Gu Wenheng, "Is the list out?"

Lu Ping patted his shoulder directly and said, "Have you forgotten what my father does? I have been pestering him since yesterday, so as soon as he got the confirmed news today, he asked someone to tell me.

My brother is really good, he will win the first prize again next time."

A look of surprise also flashed across Gu Wenheng's face. Although he was confident of passing the exam, he did not expect to get such a good ranking.

"Master Juren, I'll have to ask you to take good care of me in the future." Lu Ping smiled so hard that his mouth almost split open. "We have to celebrate this properly."

Gu Wenheng pressed his shoulder and pressed hard, "Calm down, no one knows about it at this time, don't say it out and affect Lord Lu."

Lu Ping, "Then wait a little longer. I don't know how the Bai Shizi is doing."

Gu Wenheng: "…" Who knows?

Sure enough, less than half an hour later, the officials from the yamen came to the inn with knocks and bangs. As the top scholar, Gu Wenheng once again stole the limelight.

The same three candidates who came to take the examination from Leping Academy passed the exam.

It’s just that the results of the other two are relatively backward, not as eye-catching as Gu Wenheng.

The new prefect did not hold a grand banquet like the former Xiao Yunhai. He simply encouraged everyone, said a few polite words, and then left in a hurry.

Lu Ping privately told Gu Wenheng that the prefect's mother had been bedridden due to acclimatization problems, and the entire city was waiting to see her make a fool of herself. She was wondering if the newly appointed prefect would have to go back to mourn before he could even secure his position.

Before Gu Wenheng returned, Jin Qianqian had already received the news.

Because the county government had left a backup plan for Gaoling Village, the runners who came to report the news split into two groups. Captain Li led his men to the courtyard where Jin Qianqian currently lived to report the good news, while the other runners who came to report the good news rushed to Gaoling Village with clattering drums and drums.

The entire Gu family was so happy that they went crazy. Butler Fu and a few servants kept throwing money outside the door.

Jin Qianqian sent someone to the new house to inform the Gu brothers, asking them to put down their work and go home to help.

"Madam, oh, I should call you Madam." Liu Qingmei had a smile on her face. The better the master's family was doing, the more stable they would be.

"I can be called Madam too," Jin Qianqian covered her face with joy. In this dynasty with clear class distinctions, to be called Madam, one must have a family with great achievements. A mother is honored by her son, and a husband's honor brings glory to his wife. This is no joke here.

"Madam," Qinglan also followed suit, pointing to the jewelry box on the table, "Would you like to take this complete set of headwear with you?"

Jin Qianqian shook her head and personally took out the set of jewelry that Gu Wenheng had given her for the first time from the cabinet, "Use this set!"

Even though she later bought several better and more expensive sets in Haicheng, Jin Qianqian still liked this one the best.

The Gu brothers arrived very quickly. Jin Qianqian had just finished getting dressed, and the people sent by Butler Fu to buy things had not returned yet, but they had already arrived.

"Sister-in-law, did the seventh brother really pass the imperial examination?" Gu Yuanjin still found it hard to believe. It had only been a short while since the seventh brother passed the examination for the scholar. They thought that this time he was just trying to practice.

"Uncle, our master really passed the imperial examination and got the first place." Liu Qingmei saw Jin Qianqian but smiled without saying anything, so she helped to announce the good news.

"Another first place," Gu Yuanjin grinned, "Good, good, good, our Gu family has finally turned things around."

Gu Yuanhuo and the others also felt their hearts burning with joy. Thinking of the bright prospects that Lao Qi had described to them before, their chests straightened even more.

On Monday, a new round of vote counting began. Dear bigwigs, please give me some rewards! *(ˊωˋ*)*
