Chapter 125: Fighting Three Times a Day

How could the Queen Mother not guess Yin Zhengnan's intention, and the bright smile on her face never stopped.

Having seen many people around her saying one thing in front of her and another behind her back, she now likes Yin Zhengnan who is so honest.

"Oh, can you tell me about it?"

Yin Zhengnan began to count on Gu Suiyu's good points while counting on his fingers, listing all the advantages one by one.

What kind of girl is this? She is beautiful, dares to love and hate, her brother ranked 76th in the imperial examination, and her younger brother just won the first place in the county case. One thing after another, even the number of people in Gu Suiyu's family had to be told to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager also realized that Yin Zhengnan really liked Gu Suiyu. In fact, if one had to talk about status, he was not unworthy of this little nephew.

After chatting for a while, the Queen Mother felt a little tired, so Yin Zhengnan left, leaving Zhao Yingqiao inside. The Queen Mother couldn't help but say, "I want to see what Gu Suiyu looks like at the banquet."

The Enrong Banquet is a banquet given by the Emperor to the successful candidates in the palace examination, but everyone can attend, so it is a good opportunity to meet each other.

Zhao Yingqiao had no choice but to agree verbally, but she was still unhappy in her heart.

When leaving the palace, Yin Zhengnan was extremely happy.

"Mother, after the palace examination is over, I will go hunting wild geese. I will hunt them myself. Please wait for me!"

It is customary to give wild geese as a gift when proposing a marriage. Geese caught by one’s own hands are even more precious.

Her son really likes Gu Suiyu.

Zhao Yingqiao thought about it.

**

As soon as Gu Changqing got out of the court, he rushed home excitedly because the results of the imperial examination would be announced today!

He was full of expectations for Gu Ziyun. This son was so outstanding that he would definitely do well in the imperial examination.

However, another person who was equally full of expectations was Chen Huailiang. After all, Gu Ziyun was his future son-in-law, and the two of them happened to meet at the palace gate.

"Brother Gu, the results will be announced today."

As soon as the two future relatives met, they smiled at each other.

Everyone understood each other tacitly.

"Yes, I won't keep you company. I'm in a hurry to go back!"

Gu Changqing bowed and left in a hurry.

Chen Huailiang nodded. Although he was in charge of the examination, he was not the one marking the papers, so he could only wait for the results to be announced. However, there was no need to guess Gu Ziyun's results. He must have done well, right?

Soon, Gu Changqing returned home, but the news he received shocked him greatly.

"Last one?"

"How could he be the last one?"

"Is this a mistake?"

Gu Changqing asked three questions in a row, which made Lin Wanhui look unhappy.

She waited and waited in Luoxuexuan, thinking that if her son didn't get first place, he would not fall out of the top three. After all, Yun Ge'er was smart and had always had good grades. He was definitely an outstanding student. Now, if you tell her that her son got last place, she, as a mother, would not believe it.

Gu Changqing's face immediately darkened: "Where's Brother Yun?"

Lin Wanhui pursed her lips.

Gu Ziyun was in her room, but she couldn't say anything.

If it was something glorious, she would definitely pull her son out. Now, Gu Changqing's face was obviously not good, why did she ask her son to come out?

"He hasn't come back yet. He said he went out with his classmates."

"Huh, how did he do in the exam? How could he get last place?!"

Before the results were announced, Gu Changqing's heart and eyes were full of anticipation. Since he himself did not get good grades, he placed all his hopes on his son. Who would have thought that in the end, he would actually get the last place?

"Master!" Lin Wanhui said hurriedly, "Isn't there still the palace examination? Maybe he didn't perform well? Didn't you see Yun Ge'er's pale face when he came back? He must have worked too hard and didn't do well in the exam. But he will have no problem in the palace examination. Don't worry, Master!"

The ranking in the joint examination does not mean anything. The ranking in the palace examination is important. The final result depends on the emperor, the chief examiner.

Hearing this, Gu Changqing's mood calmed down a little.

After the joint examination, there is the palace examination. The ranking in the palace examination is the most important. Yes, yes, that is the most important time.

Gu Changqing said this to himself repeatedly, and then he suddenly remembered something, stood up and walked out. Lin Wanhui hurriedly chased after him: "Master, don't you want to stay and rest?"

"Humph, your son has done a good thing. I still have to go find Master Chen and reassure him. The palace examination is the most important thing..."

As they were talking, the person had already walked away. Lin Wanhui became anxious when she heard this.

Yes, yes, and as for Lord Chen, wasn’t it Lord Chen who was attracted by his son’s talent, but in the end he got the last place in the exam?

Lin Wanhui turned around and went into the inner room, grabbed Gu Ziyun's ears and dragged him out, angrily saying, "Look, how did you perform? You're ranked last?"

I really don’t know whether to be happy or sad. I’m happy that my son will definitely become a Jinshi, but I’m sad that he is actually the last one?

What about your talent? What about your fame?

Gu Ziyun also knew that it would be unpleasant to say that he was ranked last, so he quickly said, "Mom, I will go back to study now. I will work hard for the palace exam, I will work hard!"

Lin Wanhui could only shut up and drove people out while worrying: "Go quickly, take the palace exam, do well!"

"knew!"

Damn it, how could he be the last? No, he must ask his fifth brother what happened!

Gu Ziyun walked out of Luoxuexuan and then went straight into Gu Zilu's yard.

"Gu Zilu, Gu Zilu, get out here!"

Gu Zilu, who was studying hard in the study, had heard Gu Ziyun's voice a long time ago. He calculated that Gu Ziyun must have other ways to get on the list, and sure enough.

It’s just that the other party must be very cautious, so I only gave him the last place.

But I didn’t expect that Yin Zhengnan performed so well, even better than Gu Ziyun. Well, very good.

But even though he heard the voice, it didn't mean that he had to go out to greet her with a smile. Gu Zilu pretended that he heard nothing and didn't move.

In order to let him study quietly, there was no one to serve him in the study. Only Xiaotao was guarding the door. She heard the noise outside, but after all, she had served Gu Zilu for so many years, and there was no noise in the study, so she roughly knew what Lu Ge'er was thinking.

So, she stayed there and did not move.

The yard was quiet, but Tian Daniu came out stupidly, looked Gu Ziyun up and down, and saw that Gu Ziyun not only did not stop but also walked in, so he raised his hand and pushed him out, saying, "You, where did you come from, slave? Get out!"

Minion?!

His shoulder was burning with pain from being pushed, and Gu Ziyun was furious. Although he was born out of wedlock, no one in the mansion dared to call him a slave!

"What did you say!"

Gu Ziyun was like a mouse whose tail was stepped on, and he went crazy on the spot.

When Tian Daniu saw this, he was shocked. This servant was so arrogant. If he met such a servant on the farm, he would definitely beat him three times a day!

Thinking of this, he rolled up his sleeves out of habit, revealing the toned muscles he had developed from years of farming.

Gu Ziyun: ...
