I stayed in the prefectural city for two more days, during which I had a meal at the Li family's house, and then the exam results came out.
Lu Zheng came again the day before the results were released.
Early in the morning, Lu Zheng took Gu Xin and Gu Si to the yamen to check their results.
Gu Shouxin was full of confidence and set up a chessboard at home instead of going out. The old couple went to say goodbye to Old Man Hua, while Gu Nian and Cai Xiaolian went to Madam Li's place to discuss some matters.
So, since the two sisters were very interested in their grades, Lu Zheng took them there.
"Brother Yuanyuan, I saw it! My dad is at the top of the list! At the top of the list!" Lu Zheng led his two sisters through the crowd. Gu Xin started looking from the first name and immediately saw her father's name.
"Hey, Sister Xinxin, the second one is that prodigy Huo Junhao!" Gu Si recognized quite a few characters and saw that the name under her second uncle's name was that of the prodigy.
Lu Zheng squinted at the list. Huo Junhao, how come that bastard started the exam this year!
"Oh dear! Little sister, don't praise me like that, I'm embarrassed!" At this moment, a little boy who looked about the same age as Gu En looked at Gu Si with a grin.
Gu Si blinked, not quite understanding yet.
Lu Zheng almost reflexively shielded Gu Xin behind him. When he saw that the handsome and dashing Young Master Huo was still a twelve-year-old child, he was stunned.
This is indeed Huo Junhao. He still looks like this now that he's grown up, but for now he's still just a little kid. Hmm, very good.
Gu Xin poked her head out from behind Lu Zheng: "Big brother, you're that twelve-year-old prodigy!"
Lu Zheng silently placed his hand on Gu Xin's head and pushed her back.
“Yes, yes! I am that twelve-year-old prodigy! I just heard you say that the first place is your dad? Your dad is so young?” Huo Junhao turned to the side and looked at Lu Zheng suspiciously.
Lu Zheng: ...
“This is my brother!” Gu Xin popped her head up again to explain.
“No wonder! I usually don’t let my sister talk to strangers either.” Huo Junhao had an expression of complete understanding for Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng: You're talking nonsense! You even wanted your sister to seduce me!
“Brother Yuanyuan, Dad knows him, he’s not a stranger.” Gu Xin not only popped her head out this time, but also her body, and said, tugging at Lu Zheng’s sleeve.
“Yes, Brother Yuan, Uncle Er talked about him after the first exam.” Gu Si also helped to explain.
"Hehe, Brother Yuan, right? Don't worry, I'm a child prodigy. I won't consider marriage until I achieve fame and success. But once I pass the exam, I'll start thinking about that. Remember to protect your little sister then, Brother Yuan! Lots of girls like me." Huo Junhao said seriously, his small body behaving like an adult, which was quite amusing.
Gu Xin and Gu Si couldn't help but laugh, because in their minds, a boy who was good at studying wouldn't be so frivolous.
"I hope you fail your exam!" Lu Zheng said, then protected Gu Xin and Gu Si as they squeezed out of the crowd.
"Oh dear, what's wrong with this young man? Is he jealous of others? How can someone be so envious, cursing others to fail their exams?"
"That's right! Judging from his clothes, he's probably an uneducated person who can't read!"
"..." The students who were looking at the list spoke up for Lu Zheng on behalf of Huo Junhao.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Who told me to be so successful at such a young age! I know he's not the only one who's jealous of me, you're all jealous of me! Hahaha..." Huo Junhao waved his hand, looking completely unconcerned.
The students: "..."
Huo Junhao ignored the people around him and caught up with Lu Zheng and the others: "Brother Yuan, wait a minute, I want to see your father! He's at the top of the list, I want to learn from him. You have to be humble to improve."
Lu Zheng paused, turned around, and asked, "Who did you say you wanted to see?"
Huo Junhao: "Go see your father!"
Lu Zheng smiled: "Okay!"
Gu Xin and Gu Si exchanged a glance. Prodigy brother, you're wrong, the top spot isn't his dad!
