Chapter 175
The tea stall owner was right. About half an hour later, there was a commotion and a group of people came over here, surrounding a few runners in official uniforms holding notices in their hands.
“Here it comes, here it comes!”
"Get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way, don't delay."
"I wonder if I won this time?"
"Who is the first in this case?"
They are usually indifferent scholars, but at this moment they were not as calm as usual, and each of them had a bit of impatience on their face.
Everyone stretched their necks, as if they had X-ray vision and could see the words inside.
The officers knew that these students were in a hurry, so they didn't waste time and directly posted the notice.
"I got it, I got it! I got it!"
"Brother Li from Qi County won!"
"I saw it. I saw Brother Zhou from Wending County win!"
"What about me? Did anyone see my name?"
A group of people rushed forward, each standing on tiptoe to look inside.
No matter if it’s your name or not, as long as it’s one that’s won, anyone who sees your name will shout it out.
Xu Qingmeng and others sitting at the tea stall also looked over there. Zhou Yuanjia was one who couldn't sit still, and when he heard everyone calling his name, he quickly got up and went over there.
Gu Yunyi and Fang Ziheng were not in a hurry. It might also be because they were both very confident in themselves and drank tea leisurely.
"Aren't you curious?" Xu Qingmeng asked with a raised eyebrow.
"There's no point in being curious. If it's right, it's right. If it's wrong, it's wrong. It doesn't matter whether you look at it early or late." Gu Yunyi said calmly.
"Brother Gu is right."
Xu Qingmeng laughed. "If that's the case, then why come here? There are so many people here, why don't you just wait at home?"
"That's right. I don't know who it is. He's lying on the bed early in the morning, tossing and turning, disturbing people's sleep." Hui Niang said as she looked at Fang Ziheng who was sitting there calmly drinking tea.
"Ahem, I'll go take a look."
Fang Ziheng choked, forced himself to remain calm, stood up and walked towards the crowded crowd.
"Well, Brother Fang, I'll go with you."
Xu Qingmeng and Hui Niang smiled at each other.
Before the two of them had taken two steps, they heard some noise coming from the front.
"The first case has the same name as the first case, Brother Gu Yunyi from Cheng County."
"From Yan County? This is my first time here. I'm not familiar with this name. Does anyone know him?"
"I know, I know. He is a young man, very handsome."
"We are from Yan County? That's amazing, even three of the top three! Brother Gu, is Brother Gu here?"
The people from Yan County immediately started shouting when they heard that it was Gu Yunyi.
The Small Three Yuans, although not as rare as the Big Three Yuans, are also hard to come by.
As soon as these three words were spoken, the students below the list became even more excited.
Except for the students from Yan County, students from other counties were asking who this top winner was, and all the students from Yan County felt proud of it.
It tells all kinds of things about Gu Yunyi, big and small, no matter how big or small, even the matter of Gu Yunyi getting married.
However, most of these are subjective, and in the current situation, of course, we can just brag and that’s it.
Soon, all kinds of rumors about this new top-ranked case began to circulate below the list.
Gu Yunyi and Fang Ziheng looked at each other and said, "Well, I'll leave first."
Gu Yunyi didn't move forward. He turned around and walked towards Xu Qingmeng, taking her hand and walking towards the yard.
"Brother Gu, Brother Fang, I got it! I got it! I got it! I saw what happened between you and Brother Fang, too. Brother Fang is the sixth, and you are the case... Eh? Why are all the people gone?"
Zhou Yuanjia finally squeezed out from under the crowded crowd, but when he came out, the tea stall was empty.
After Gu Yunyi led Xu Qingmeng away, he turned his head with a smile on his face, "He really is the top candidate."
"Yes, I heard it. He won the top three prizes. Now mother will be very happy." Xu Qingmeng imagined how He would look after hearing this. She would definitely shed tears of excitement.
"Is the lady happy?" Gu Yunyi asked.
"Of course I am happy about that."
Xu Qing’s dream was to be able to return to Yan County after the results were announced, so of course he was happy.
But when I turned my head, I saw an indescribable light in Gu Yunyi's eyes.
Only then did he realize what Gu Yunyi meant.
"Well, let's go back quickly. I'm sure someone will come to report the good news soon. I don't know if the red envelope we prepared is enough." Xu Qingmeng quickened his pace.
Gu Yunyi looked at Xu Qingmeng's fleeing back and shook his head with amusement.
"Ma'am, slow down, you're still pregnant!"
Not long after the two of them returned, Zhou Yuanjia and Fang Ziheng also came back. They felt very sorry that Gu Yunyi and the other left first.
"Brother Gu, why did you leave so quickly? Sister-in-law, you didn't see that there were many people looking for you just now. There were also students from Cheng County who said they would come to visit you later!"
But Zhou Yuanjia would not admit that he was gloating when he said this.
After hearing this, Xu Qingmeng was overwhelmed. Not only did she have to prepare the red envelope, she also had to prepare some snacks and fruits.
Of course it is impossible to make them, and they are not prepared in the yard, so I can only buy them.
"Then I'll go buy some snacks and fruits. If anyone comes, remember to greet them. The red envelopes are all here."
Xu Qingmeng was about to go out after she finished speaking, "Don't go, Hui Niang will probably be back soon."
"Then I'll go meet some of them."
As soon as Xu Qingmeng reached the street corner, he saw Jiang Mingyu and Sun Jingyi coming towards him. Perhaps they had just finished reading the list, as both of them had happy looks on their faces. It seemed that Jiang Mingyu had also passed the exam.
"Sister-in-law, what a coincidence." Jiang Mingyu was stunned for a moment when he saw Xu Qingmeng, but then he smiled and said, "I just saw that Brother Gu actually won the first place. Congratulations, congratulations!"
Sun Jingyi looked impatient, but didn't say anything.
Xu Qingmeng didn't even look at her, she smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Jiang did well in the exam, congratulations."
"It was just luck." Jiang Mingyu scratched his head and saw that he was going to the street, thinking that he was going to buy something. He hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, if you want to buy some snacks, I won't delay us."
Xu Qingmeng nodded and then left.
As the person walked away, Sun Jingyi snorted coldly. The joy she had originally felt for becoming the head of the family disappeared in an instant.
He glared at Jiang Mingyu beside him and said, "What are you doing? You are always so humble. We are both scholars, how are you worse than others?"
Jiang Mingyu still cared about his new wife, so he lowered his head and explained, "Why are you being so humble? Besides, Brother Gu is already very talented, and this time he won the top three prizes. Although we are both scholars, he is at the top and you are at the bottom. I just admire him."
Sun Jingyi comes from a small family, so how could she understand these things?
