Chapter 313: Examination Results
"Yes, yes, let's go back to the house first. Sui Yu was also very worried. She cried every day, which made me restless. I even told her that if I couldn't find you, we wouldn't get married. Thank God, I found you..."
Yin Zhengnan kept muttering to himself, which made everyone laugh and the atmosphere gradually became better.
The conversation between the brothers also fell into Zhao Jingyu's ears. Prince Rui nodded with satisfaction. He felt that he liked Su Jin. Besides liking Su Jin as a person, he also liked the atmosphere of their family.
This atmosphere is very similar to that of myself and my brother when we were children. We always cared about each other and worked hard and made progress silently.
Now Gu Zixuan is already a first-rank general, and his contribution in saving the emperor has not yet been calculated. It is unknown how the emperor plans to reward Gu Zixuan.
You won’t let him inherit the Yong’an Marquis Mansion, right?
The group quickly returned to the capital.
When Su Jin saw Gu Zilu, she couldn't help but hug her son and cry bitterly.
The child was not injured, and the minor scratches from walking in the mountains have now healed almost completely. Apart from being a little thinner, he is in very good spirits. Mr. Zhuzhi's condition is more serious. Although he was blocked by a tree when he fell from the cliff, he still injured his internal organs and had fractures in his calf and arm. Fortunately, Gu Zilu fixed the fractures in time, and he will have to continue recuperating in the future.
Not long after, Mr. Zhuzhi woke up slowly. Looking at the familiar roof, the old man suddenly felt as if he was in another world.
He was actually rescued.
Looking at the side, the little maid was dozing off. Mr. Zhuzhi remembered that the injured part was in great pain. The little maid woke up with a cry. Seeing that he was awake, she shouted happily: "Master, you are awake!"
"Wait, let me ask first, did Brother Lu go to take the exam?"
Mr. Zhuzhi still remembers Lu Ge'er's exam. It was a palace exam, not an ordinary exam. Moreover, he had finally won five first places, only the last one was missing. How could he delay?
If his injury delayed Lu Ge'er from passing the imperial examination, he would definitely feel guilty to death.
Mr. Zhuzhi knew that he was able to survive thanks to Gu Zilu who had always been guarding him. Otherwise, not to mention getting injured, he would most likely have starved to death in that cave. It was because Gu Zilu went out to dig up some wild vegetables every day that they were able to survive.
Fortunately, it is spring now. If it were winter, I would really starve to death in the mountains.
The little maid's smile disappeared when she heard this, which made Mr. Zhuzhi feel a little uneasy.
"Why, you couldn't make it?!"
Damn it, it’s all because of me. Why on earth did he take Brother Lu to go for an outing in the mountains?
If I had stayed at home, this wouldn't have happened, and the palace examination wouldn't have been delayed!!
Damn it, damn it!
Mr. Zhuzhi couldn't help but blame himself severely, and the little maid said, "It's not Mr. Zhu's fault, it's Mr. Gu from Yong'an Marquis's Mansion who is gone."
Gu Changqing is gone, and Gu Zilu, as his son, has to observe mourning and cannot take part in the imperial examinations for three years.
After hearing this, Mr. Zhuzhi felt terrible.
He always thought that Gu Zilu would be able to take part in the palace examination and would definitely get the top six, because with Gu Zilu's talent, he would be absolutely invincible and would definitely get the first place. And now you've made such a mess of him?
Although it was disrespectful to the deceased, he still couldn't help but say: "Why choose this time..."
Why choose this time to die? It's really disgusting.
The little maid said: "There is nothing we can do about it. The Huns went straight to the courtyard of the nobles in the back this time. Many people died. Even the eldest princess barely escaped death. If it weren't for our Dexuan brother suddenly coming back with the troops, I'm afraid the emperor would have..."
The little maidservant suddenly shut her mouth, but Mr. Zhuzhi could already imagine the danger at that time. It seemed that it was the greatest blessing that the court was safe.
"It must have been the idea of the Han Chinese who defected to the Xiongnu."
Mr. Zhuzhi also knew something about these things, but the little maid didn't understand them, so she turned around and went out to call for help.
Mr. Zhuzhi woke up, and everyone rushed over
Su Jin, Gu Zixuan, Gu Sui Yu, Gu Zilu, as well as the maids and old women, all squeezed in. Those who couldn't squeeze in waited outside. Everyone had a happy look on their faces.
Mr. Zhuzhi didn't care about that. He grabbed Gu Zilu's hand with red eyes. He was obviously the one who was hurt, but now he advised Gu Zilu: "Good things take time, Brother Lu, don't be discouraged."
No one spoke after hearing this.
Speaking of this, it is indeed quite disgusting. It happened just when Gu Zilu finished the imperial examination. It was obvious that the palace examination would be held more than a month after the imperial examination. Now, he could not take part in it and had to wait for three years.
It's really miserable.
Gu Zilu said: "Sir, the dead are the most important, there is nothing we can do about this."
The ancients had too many things to pay attention to, such as observing mourning, wearing mourning clothes, and paying tribute to the dead. These were all things to pay attention to. No one could be blamed, not to mention that Gu Changqing was the biological father of several people. Now, all they could do was wait, and wait until they were done with mourning, and then take part in the palace examination three years later.
Although it was offensive, Su Jin thought it was okay. Gu Zilu's current physical condition was not good. He came back today and had the palace examination the next day, which was really tiring for him. It was just right that he couldn't take part so he could have a good rest.
Therefore, Su Jin directly drove Gu Zilu, who was preparing to study all night, into the house to give him a bath, a good meal, and let him have a good rest.
Gu Zilu also turned a disaster into a blessing and finally had a good sleep.
There was no inconvenience of the cold in the cave. After I came back, the quilt was warm, the food was full, the body was clean, the hair was dried, and scented. Compared with the inhuman life in the cave, it was so comfortable at home.
On the day of the palace examination, many people ran to the gate of the palace to watch the excitement, but in the end, no one saw Gu Zilu.
Although they were confused, everyone understood that since Gu Changqing was gone, Gu Zilu would definitely not be able to take part in the palace examination.
The candidates had different moods. Some were glad that Gu Zilu could not come, so they could still have a chance at the top spot. Some were very depressed. People like Luan Wu were all very regretful.
When Song Zhen'er learned about this, she sent someone to deliver a letter to Gu Zilu to comfort him, but Gu Zilu took a look at the letter and threw it into the box.
Three years is fine. It won’t affect my chance of passing the imperial examination. After all, if I don’t take the exam, there will be no ranking, right?
When Mr. Zhuzhi woke up, the results were about to be announced.
"Mr. Zhuzhi woke up at the perfect time."
Su Jin smiled and said, "The results will be announced tomorrow, sir, so it's a good opportunity for us to go and see them together."
The fractured part has been bandaged, and he has been taking medicines in the past few days. He is now much better. According to what Imperial Physician Zhang said, the rest is just rest.
Mr. Zhuzhi was completely speechless.
Gu Zilu didn't even take the exam. Who should he go to see when the results are announced?
Look at the air?
