Chapter 1618 Congratulations
Chang Zhong didn't answer maliciously, "We'll know when the time comes."
Yuwen also smiled, "I'll take a nap."
Mingrui, "......"
That’s right, this is his fifth sister!
Yuwen said that she was indeed abiding by the rules, but she was different from her mother. Her mother was an orphan, and she had heard all kinds of rumors while taking care of the Su family. Therefore, she was bold and not afraid of gossip. Her mother could boldly pursue her father, but she could not. She was a girl from the Zhou family and could not damage her reputation, as this concerned all the girls in the Zhou family.
Yu Wen closed her eyes but kept thinking. Today she was going to check and see if Gu Sheng was being targeted by several parties. Would Gu Sheng obey or find a way to solve the problem?
The carriage soon arrived at the Jiang family, followed by the Jiang family's carriage. When the carriage arrived, the results had not been announced yet, but there were already many people waiting in front.
Changzhong and his companions were not in a hurry to go down, and asked the servant to go ahead.
There was a servant's voice outside the carriage, and then there was a knock on the door. Changzhong and Mingrui looked at each other, and the servant said, "Sir, Master Zhuo wants to see you."
Chang Zhong glanced at his niece. There were many people here, and Zhuo Guyu had a good reputation. He didn't think the Zhou family was arrogant. He signaled Ming Rui to open the carriage door, "Mr. Zhuo, you don't want to check the list? Are you confident about your performance?"
Zhuo Guyu knew Zhou Changzhong's servant, so he came here. He was very surprised to see An He. "I just arrived and saw the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion coming to take a look. I will go to the front to wait for the list."
Changzhong, "Then I won't delay you from looking at the list. Please go in."
Zhuo Guyu was very upset. The master of Zhou Houfu had no good impression of him. Seeing what Zhou Changzhong asked, he pursed his lips and said, "County Master Anhe, are you here to see the list as well?"
Yu Wen opened her eyes and looked Zhuo Gu Yu in the eye. "I don't like trouble. I don't want to be surrounded by endless troubles in the future. Please go, sir."
Zhuo Guyu found that the carriage door was closed. He turned around and looked at the list. His face seemed calm, but he was not calm inside. He had never fantasized about his future wife because he knew that marriage was not something he could decide. It didn't matter what kind of wife she was as long as she could help the Duke's Mansion.
He met County Mayor Anhe several times, this unknown girl from Friday, and she surprised him every time. She was too insightful. He clearly realized that he needed a wife like this, a wife who could fight with him.
As for the refusal of County Lord Anhe, he did not take it to heart because Anhe was still young.
Inside the carriage, Mingrui spoke up, "Which young man does Yuwen like? If he has a good family, it's fine, but if he is from a poor family."
Yuwen, "I understand."
Changzhong smiled. His niece understood, so she didn't do anything, otherwise Gu Sheng would have died long ago.
The results were announced, but Yuwen did not get off the carriage. Changzhong left his servant behind with Mingrui, and Mingrui went to look for Shangguan Liu, his rare friend.
Jiang Du and Mu Fan lacked confidence as the candidates this year were too talented. They did not wait in front of the list but looked from the back.
Shangguan Liu was much more confident. He looked directly from the front and said, "Eighth place."
Mingrui, "Congratulations."
Shangguan Liu felt relieved. "You don't know that when Zhuo Guyu became famous, my old man kept an eye on me and made sure I studied hard, fearing that I would bring shame to the Shangguan family."
Mingrui stared at the top of the list, "He's still a little behind."
Shangguan Liu looked smug, "I thought he had a sure win, but in the end Gu Sheng took first place."
Mingrui, "The South has taken the lead again."
"Yes, anyway, I have brought honor to the Shangguan Mansion. It depends on my luck in the palace examination."
Mingrui saw Wen Liugongzi again, "Wen Liu Tenth."
Shangguan Liu whispered, "I admire him. He can even rank tenth."
Mingrui was also impressed, a bastard, who turned around and saw Wen Liu. Wen Liu looked over. It was the first time he saw Wen Liu smile so happily. Wen Liu nodded and left.
Shangguan Liu gestured to look at the other side. Mingrui turned around and saw Zhuo Guyu staring at the list with a tense face. When someone congratulated him, his smile was very stiff.
He saw Huiyuan who was surrounded again, then narrowed his eyes, his heart skipped a beat, this guy was really good-looking.
On the other side, Jiang Du and Mu Fan found their names. Jiang Du was ranked over 240 and Mu Fan was ranked over 180. They felt relieved to be on the list.
Chang Zhong continued to look at the list. Several familiar families in the capital were not ranked high. He saw Mr. Du ranked over 100th.
Jiang Du, "Uncle, who else are you looking for?"
Changzhong narrowed his eyes and saw Ji Deming who was ranked around 80th. This guy actually did quite well in the exam. Wow.
The people who had gathered around gradually dispersed. Changzhong walked to the front of the list and saw Gu Sheng's name at a glance, followed by Zhuo Guyu. He glanced around and saw several housekeepers surrounding Gu Sheng.
Mingrui came over, "Uncle."
Changzhong tilted his head, "Where's Shangguan?"
"He has gone back. I am waiting for my uncle here."
Changzhong coughed and said, "I found out."
Mingrui looked at Gu Sheng, "He is the top scorer. When he passes the imperial examination, more officials will pay attention to him."
He stood and watched for a while. Several housekeepers invited Gu Sheng to the teahouse. What they were discussing in the teahouse was, of course, marriage.
Jiang Du, "......"
What is this talking about?
Chang Zhong turned around and was startled, "Why are you here?"
Yuwen walked over slowly and said, "Come closer to watch the show."
Mingrui, "......"
As expected, the sister with the strongest personality was not in a hurry at all, but was watching the show enthusiastically. Then she felt something was wrong. Yuyi was engaged several times, and she wanted to beat someone up. But when it was Yuwen's turn, how could she sympathize with her future brother-in-law?
Gu Sheng's forehead was covered with sweat. "Don't say anything more, my brother has not married yet, so I will not consider marriage."
A manager looked at Gu Yan and said with a smile, "Isn't it a good story for brothers to marry together?"
Gu Sheng sighed, "I'm really sorry, Gu won't get engaged before I'm 20. Thank you for your kindness."
Several stewards smiled and left, not caring too much. After all, there was still the palace examination, so it would be better if they could invite him to the teahouse now, but if they didn't invite him, it would also express their intention.
Gu Yan, "You don't have to consider me, you have a good Yue family."
Gu Sheng frowned, "Brother, I understand, but I haven't considered getting married."
This is the truth, and he doesn't want to have a Yue family that controls everything for him. He knows that he has to give back many times what he gets.
Gu Yan patted his brother's shoulder, turned around and said, "Mr. Zhou."
Gu Sheng saw that not only Master Zhou was there, but also Master Zhou's nephew. What surprised him most was that Lord Anhe was also there.
Gu Sheng stepped forward and said, "I would like to thank you again for your help, which enabled me to win the first place in the exam."
Changzhong, "You got this by your own ability. Congratulations, Mr. Gu."
Mingrui and his friends also congratulated him. Changzhong introduced Mingrui as "Mingrui, the eldest son of my second brother."
Gu Sheng, "Nice to meet you."
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that Mr. Zhou’s nephew is looking at him.
Yuwen also said, "Congratulations."
Gu Sheng had no delusions in his mind, and his eyes were clear and open. "Thank you, County Lord."
