Gu Jinan is not a blind person, on the contrary, he knows a little about this Xu family, and knows that this is an arrogant person, who has studied hard in Honghu Academy for many years, and this time he is running for Xiao Sanyuan, wanting to make a name for himself in one fell swoop.

Because of the madness of the previous dynasty, many literati in Dachu wanted to become famous in one fell swoop. As long as you have fame, it will be easier to do scientific research or enter the office in the future.

Xu Zhaoming is two years older than Gu Jin'an, and he looks so good that he can climb the word handsome, but after he saw Gu Jin'an, his heart sank...... The rumors are true, this Gu Jinan really has the beauty of Zhilan Yushu.

Gu Jinan saw Xu Zhaoming looking at him, smiled slightly, and saluted him: "Brother Xu." ”

Xu Zhaoming was stunned: "You know me?" ”

Gu Jin'an: "We are from the same county, and we are candidates in the same subject, how can we not know each other?" ”

If you want to say that you don't know, that's pretending, and he generally "doesn't pretend".

asked Xu Zhaoming with a smile: "Brother Xu is looking for me?" ”

Xu Zhaoming wanted to give Gu Jinan a dismissal, but he didn't expect to be robbed by Gu Jinan, and his face was a little bad, but he still explained his intentions: "On the twenty-eighth list, a certain person has already chartered the Futai Building on the main street, and invited you to the same department and wait for the singing list together." If Brother Gu doesn't dislike it, then join us, how about it? ”

Gu Jinan said with a smile: "On the day of the release, I will definitely go to Futai Building." ”

Xu Zhaoming saw that Gu Jinan agreed, nodded nodding nodding confidently, and took the steps that he thought were elegant, and got into his own mule cart, but he didn't pay attention to Gu Dexing and them at all.

Gu Dashan was a little worried that Xu Zhaoming would harm Gu Jin'an: "Brother An, on the day of the release, you will stay in the private room left for us by Hu Dong's house, don't go to dinner with Young Master Xu, he doesn't like you very much." ”

Qi Panzi also said: "Yes, Brother An, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, this Xu family is a family that has been rooted in Tianfu County for more than a hundred years, and it is deep-rooted and big, so it is not easy to mess with." ”

Brother Cheng admired his eldest brother the most, and he couldn't listen to Qi Panzi asking his eldest brother to avoid Xu Zhaoming, and said: "Uncle don't worry, the eldest brother is the most powerful, and he won't be afraid of the young master of the Xu family, right, big brother?" ”

Gu Jinan smiled and nodded: "Well, Brother Cheng is right, this appointment, the eldest brother has to go, but he can't be underestimated." There are hundreds of people in the world, and there will always be some people who are dissatisfied with your excellence and have malicious intentions towards you, it is useless to dodge, we have to face it head-on. ”

Gu Jinan is a very competent brother and will often teach Brother Cheng the truth.

Cheng Ge'er nodded when he heard it: "Well, Cheng Ge'er remembered." ”

Gu Jinan smiled and said to Gu Dashan: "Dad, let's go back." ”

"Eh, let's go home." Gu Dashan responded, took Gu Jin'an's brothers, Qi Kangming and his son into his mule cart, and let Zezi drive to his home.

Gu Dafu and the others took another mule cart home.

Now that the days are better, there are a lot of mule carts in the workshop, and you can sit casually.

……

At home, the women of several families had already prepared meals, and as soon as they brought them back, they all gathered around to ask questions.

Chen's voice was the loudest, and he said to Gu Dexing: "Brother Xing, how did you do in the exam?" Can you win, can you win? ”

Gu Dagui said dissatisfiedly: "I haven't released the list yet, how do Brother Xing know if you can win?" ”

Chen: "You are a fierce fart, I don't care about Brother Xing, I want to know, so I ask." ”

The third grandmother scolded: "Shut up for me, stand at the door and ask at the top of your throat, ask what, hurry into the house to eat." The county government searched very much, and gave two small cakes a day, and they couldn't eat enough, Brother An'er and they must be hungry. ”

As soon as the third grandmother spoke, the Chen family didn't dare to shout anymore, so they hurriedly got out of the way and let Gu Dexing and them into the house.

Cui Shi immediately brought the chicken soup to Gu Jin'an: "It's cold, drink a bowl of hot chicken soup to warm up your body first." ”

"Eh, thank you, mother." Gu Jinan took it, drank a bowl of chicken soup in a few bites, and after his body warmed up, he said, "Don't worry, my son is okay in the exam, and he will definitely be able to pass the county exam." ”

Although Cui Shi didn't ask anything, Gu Jinan knew that she was worried about herself, so she simply said directly, anyway, there are people close here, and it's okay to say it.

After hearing this, Cui's whole person became cheerful: "Eh, my mother knows that Brother An is the most capable." ”

Gu Jinli was jealous: "Mother, what about me?" Ability? ”

Cui Shi smiled: "You are smart and can make money, and you are the most capable of our girls." ”

Gu Jinli teased her: "Mother is saying that the eldest sister is incompetent." ”

Gu Jinxiu was serving dinner to the big guys, and smiled when she heard this: "Don't tease our mother, I just don't have your ability, this is something everyone knows, what is there to ask?" ”

Gu Jinxiu and Luo Wu already have a letter of appointment, and the big stone in her heart is put down, she is very happy recently, in addition to doing embroidery work, she will also follow the Chu family to learn to manage some dart bureau affairs and accounts.

In short, she felt that she was not the fairy that Zhan Er said, but an ordinary girl who wanted to have children with her favorite people and live an ordinary life.

Gu Jinli smiled, stopped teasing Cui's, and ran to help Gu Jinxiu.

The families had another meal together, and in the days that followed, in addition to being busy with the work in the workshop, they were anxiously waiting for the release of the list.

……

On February 28, the spring was cold and warm, and when it was the day of the list, several families got up early, and as soon as the hour arrived, Gu Dashan and a few men took Gu Jinan and them to the county seat.

Gu Jinli and the others didn't go, they stayed at home and waited for the people from the county government to come and report the good news. In case it is on the list, the county government will come to report the good news, and it will not look good if there is no one at home.

Brother Cheng wanted to see how his eldest brother dealt with Xu Zhaoming, so he also followed.

Today's list, the main street where the county government is located is overcrowded, but Gu Jin'an and they don't have to squeeze, they go directly to the alley to the back door of Futai Building, enter through the back door, and then go to the private room on the third floor.

Hu Dongjia valued the Gu family very much and left the entire third floor to them, so Xu Zhaoming only chartered two floors of the restaurant.

After Gu Jin'an settled Gu Dashan and them, he took Cheng Ge'er, Qi Kangming and others downstairs to find Xu Zhaoming.

Xu Zhaoming's little servant saw Gu Jin'an and them coming down from the third floor, and they were very surprised, didn't Futai Building say that the third floor was not hospitable? Why did the Gu family come down from the third floor?

The little guy didn't have time to think about it, Gu Jinan and the others had already come to the front and said, "Are you the little guy of the Xu family?" Take us to your young master. ”

The servant nodded and led them to the largest and best private room on the second floor.

Xu Zhaoming didn't get up when he saw Gu Jin'an coming, he sat down and arched his hand to him, and said, "Brother Gu is here, please take a seat." ”

Gu Jinan nodded with a smile, and after saying Brother Xu, he said to the other students present, "Brother is fine." ”

These are all candidates for this subject, some of them know Gu Jin'an, Qu Xiucai's nephew got up and greeted him: "Brother Gu is here, come and sit on our side, we have many places here, I can sit down with a few of you." ”

Qu Xiu is one of the talents who guaranteed Gu Jin'an, so Young Master Qu is good to Gu Jin'an.

"Eh, thank you Brother Qu." Gu Jinan took Brother Cheng and them to Young Master Qu's table.

Xu Zhaoming was a little unhappy, feeling that Young Master Qu had made face with Gu Jin'an, and after suppressing the anger in his heart, he pointed to the main seat of the Taishi chair and said, "This position is reserved for the head of the county case." Brothers, why don't we gamble, who can sit on this throne? ”

Gu Jinan laughed when he heard this, this Xu Zhaoming is really interesting, he has the same temper as Mr. Qi, he wants to dress pretending to be noble, and sometimes he can't hold it down, so he takes the initiative to speak.
