Chapter 296 297. Back Door
Gu Wenheng didn't know what he had just said that caused him to have such emotion.
At this moment, he looked downstairs quietly, "It's better to jump into the siege, at least some people can keep their original intentions and start their own life.
Those who can’t get in will never be willing to stop there, and will just have to endure day after day in the days that follow.”
As we were talking, we saw more people being carried out from the crowd. These were probably the people who fainted because they couldn't accept the fact that they failed the exam.
"Master?" Gu Wenheng seemed to hear Mingfeng's shout. He looked towards where he was standing and found that Mingfeng and Senior Brother Liu's servant were calling people there.
"That's my servant. I'll go call him over first." Liu Wenping also saw it. His hands were faster than his mouth. He turned around and ran out.
Gu Wenheng was also a little excited at this time, "I'll go down and take a look too."
After everyone left, Shan Ke'an smiled and said, "I thought he could keep calm, but I didn't expect he would still be anxious."
Bai Jinglie glanced at him and said, "If this happened to you, you might have been squeezed under the list by now."
"Cousin, are you making fun of me? You know I'm not even a scholar now, so I dare not even dream about it." Thinking of the hard days during this period, Shan Ke'an covered his chest in fear. If he was forced to take the imperial examination, he probably wouldn't even be able to leave the room.
Bai Jinglie, "Looking at your potential, I can let you out today. I have promised my aunt that if you fail to pass the exam next time, I will help you find two masters."
"Ah!" Shan Ke'an's eyes opened as wide as copper bells, "Cousin, how could you do this? If I had known, I would not have come out."
The price is too high. I can imagine that with my qualifications, even if I work harder in the days ahead, I may still not pass the exam.
Bai Jinglie, "Don't worry, your cousin is optimistic about you.
Besides, my aunt is counting on you to help her pass the imperial examination."
"..." Shan Ke'an, "My life is over!!"
Lu Ping looked at him sympathetically, "..." Fortunately, his parents had given up, otherwise he would also be scared.
"Master, I got it," Mingfeng saw Gu Wenheng from afar and shouted, his voice full of excitement.
When Gu Wenheng walked up to them, he found that Liu Wenping's face was flushed and he looked excited, "I won too."
Gu Wenheng hurriedly said, "Congratulations!"
Liu Wenping, "Thank you, Junior Brother. It's a pity that we are both Jinshi candidates, but our ranking is a little behind."
Gu Wenheng was also a little curious about his own ranking at this time, so he turned around and asked Ming Feng, "Where am I ranked?"
Ming Feng said excitedly, "No. 1, the master is No. 1."
Gu Wenheng: "..." You idiot, why don't you just speak nicely? Why are you speaking so loudly?
Noticing that more and more eyes were focused here, Gu Wenheng grabbed the stunned Liu Wenping and left quickly.
Mingfeng, realizing that he had gotten into trouble, stuck out his tongue and quickly chased after him, dodging a few hands that tried to grab him.
"Wenheng, am I dreaming? I really am the first." As soon as he entered the private room, Liu Wenping asked anxiously.
The servant behind him hurriedly said, "Master Gu is really the first. I saw it too."
Mingfeng, knowing that he had gotten into trouble, nodded vigorously and never dared to speak easily again.
"Congratulations!" Congratulations immediately rang out throughout the room. Gu Wenheng did not even try to hide the joy on his face and grinned.

Jin Qianqian was restless at home and had sent several groups of people to inquire about the news.
"Madam, the master will definitely pass the exam." Qingmei saw Jin Qianqian constantly walking back and forth, "Didn't the person who just reported it say so? There are too many people looking at the list, and they won't be able to squeeze in for a while."
Jin Qianqian took another big gulp of water and said, "Yes, I'm not nervous."
Even though he kept repeating this, he didn't relax at all.
During this period, Gu Wenheng's hard work was not as easy as it seemed to outsiders.
In that space, taking advantage of the still time, it took me who knows how many times longer to thoroughly master the knowledge about the imperial examination.
When it came to the most critical moment, Jin Qianqian couldn't help but become more and more nervous.
Just then the servant came running in, shouting, "Madam, the master got the first place."
Jin Qianqian stood up immediately, "Really?"
"Really? Now everyone out there is asking about the master's name? The name and the place are all right."
"The person who checked the list hasn't come back yet?" Jin Qianqian still preferred to believe that seeing is believing.
"Madam, the master has won the first place." The person who was checking the list also ran back. His excited face made the whole mansion boil.
Jin Qianqian covered her face and smiled, but tears also fell from the corners of her eyes. Wen Heng's long efforts were finally rewarded.
"Congratulations, sir. Congratulations, madam!" Voices echoed throughout the mansion.
"Happy, very happy. Reward, housekeeper, two months' salary as a reward." Jin Qianqian said happily after she adjusted her mood.
"Thank you ma'am for the reward!!"
“…”
"Butler Fu, start disciplining the family members now and ask them to go out as little as possible before the master takes part in the palace examination." Jin Qianqian said with a serious face, thinking of the upcoming battle.
Jin Qianqian doesn't think that the days to come will be as peaceful as before. After all, the target has been set, and Gu Wenheng is probably now the focus of attention of various families and students.
"Madam, do you want to close the door and admit guests?" Butler Fu asked in a low voice.
"No, everything is normal to the outside world. From now on, the house should be tight inside and loose outside, and don't let anyone take advantage of the loopholes." As for Gu Wenheng, Jin Qianqian didn't worry about him at all. Maybe he was on his way back at this moment.

Seeing that there were people following him outside, Mingfeng slapped himself in regret again, thinking he spoke too quickly and yelled without looking carefully.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ping and Shan Ke'an looked excited, both holding their heads and staring at Gu Wenheng.
"We have finally encountered the legendary son-in-law. Looking at their persistence, they will not give up until they catch you."
Shan Ke'an's expression of watching a good show was even more obvious, and he said with a gossipy look on his face, "Just now I saw a few managers from familiar families, and those families all have daughters who are waiting to be married.
He must have just seen Wen Heng, which is why he is staring at him so intently."
"Don't talk nonsense. I already have a wife and a child." Gu Wenheng asked them, "There should be a back door here, right?"
Bai Jinglie nodded, "I'll let Ye Yi take you out, try to go out less these days."
Gu Wenheng understood that this was a kind reminder, and he bowed to him, "Thank you very much, I'll host you another day and we can get together again."
Liu Wenping had already recovered from his surprise and stood beside Gu Wenheng, ready to go back together.
"Don't forget what you promised me. I'm still waiting for your good news." Bai Jinglie reminded them again when they were about to leave.
