When winter was about to fall, Yu Jiayan, Ming Xu and others rushed back to Jingtai Mansion from the capital.

None of the three people who went to the exam made the list, but they didn't suffer much from it - long before they set off, Gu Tongju had already told them that they had little hope for this subject, and the reason why he let several of his students go all the way to catch the exam was nothing more than to let them experience the tense atmosphere of the last two levels of the imperial examination in advance.

and Ming Xu went to the capital together, and then returned to their hometown together, as well as Gu Tongju's nephew who was taught by Gu Tongju with Ming Xu and them.

Gu Tongju's nephew's family is poor, if it weren't for Gu Tongju's treating him as his own and giving him a lot of subsidies, he would never have wasted money to go to Beijing when he was not sure of the exam.

Besides, Yu Jiayan and others, before the results came out, they had been preparing for the exam seriously, until they were sure that they were indeed on the list, and then they began to pack their bags and rush home after buying gifts for their families.

As for the bustle and bustle in the capital, several people know very well in their hearts that these have nothing to do with them for the time being.

Packing his bags, Ming Cheng took Ming Xu and them on the way home on the third day after the release of the list.

The four of them were still a little depressed at first - although their master had already given them vaccinations, they actually had a little hope in their hearts that they would be able to pass the exam.

Now that hope has been shattered, a few young people who have worked their studies are inevitably a little lost and sad.

Fortunately, there is still Mingcheng, a calm and careful elder by their side, and along the way, Mingcheng has changed his ways to explain them.

In addition, their respective family members all had the same ambition to give them the greatest understanding and tolerance, so Yu Jiayan and the others quickly returned to their previous high-spirited state.

Under Gu Tongju's teaching, they once again devoted most of their energy to reading.

It is worth mentioning that Gu Tongju's nephew Gu Chenghui also helped Zhang Luo get married after he fell off the list this time.

The matchmaker for him was his aunt, and the woman was the second daughter of his uncle's aunt.

The girl's appearance can only be regarded as delicate, but she is knowledgeable and very good at management, plus she has done a good needlework, Gu Chenghui's father and mother have personally met the woman's parents, and after someone inquired about the woman's real situation, they decided on this marriage.

When Gu Chenghui first heard about it, he was directly dumbfounded, but Gu Tong sentenced him to three months of leave and asked him to go back to his hometown to deal with this matter in person, and Gu Chenghui was relieved.

He went home with the purpose of stirring up the marriage, after all, he didn't even know whether the girl was round or flat, and he really couldn't convince himself to spend his life with the other party.

However, I don't know what his parents told him, anyway, when this guy came back, he took his new wife Qiao with him.

The marriage between Qiao's and Gu Chenghui, in the words of later generations, is a proper "flash marriage", Yu Jiayan and the Ming brothers are very curious about how Gu Chenghui was cleaned up by Qiao's, but Gu Chenghui refused to reveal the process and reasons for his change of mind.

Yu Jiayan and the brothers of the Ming family were not the people who had no sense of proportion, and asked a few words half-jokingly, but the other party talked about him left and right, and several people didn't ask again.

After Mingyue got acquainted with Qiao's family, she heard from Qiao's mouth the real reason for Gu Chenghui's change of heart.

It turned out that on the day Gu Chenghui went home, his mother happened to be accompanied by the matchmaker and went to Qiao's house to give Qiao's a small gift.

When Gu Chenghui heard the aunt next door say this, he immediately rushed to Qiao's house with a roar.

Then, the thing couldn't walk when he looked at a screen in someone's house.

The screen was embroidered by Qiao's to her father, and the ink painting on the screen was embroidered by herself according to her own paintings, and it took her half a year to embroider it by herself.

Because Gu Chenghui was the quasi-son-in-law of the Qiao family, he was directly invited by the eldest brother of the Qiao family to drink tea in Qiao's father's small study.

At that time, Brother Qiao didn't know that this product was disgusting his sister-in-law in his heart, and he didn't know that this product came to Qiao's house to prevent this marriage, so he entertained Gu Chenghui very warmly, and pretended to be inadvertent, and really praised his sister-in-law.

How did he know that when Gu Chenghui saw the screen in his father's study, there was nothing else in his eyes.

If he hadn't said "This screen was embroidered by my sister to my father, and the painting on the screen was painted by her own hands", Gu Chenghui would not even give up the slightest attention to the eldest brother of the Qiao family.

"So he compromised because of a screen?" When Yu Jiayan heard Mingyue talk about this, he laughed so much that his eyebrows flew up.

Mingyue also smiled, she bowed slightly, "He saw that the girl was talented, and then he was willing to do it." ”

"Cheap boy. As far as his recklessness is concerned, he didn't miss the good fate, and it can only be said that God really favors him by two points. ”

"Don't you allow people to come to fate?" Mingyue smiled and raised the bar with Yu Jiayan, "If you want me to say, the two of them clearly confirm what it means to meet thousands of miles away." ”

Yu Jiayan didn't refute it, but in fact, he didn't agree with Mingyue's statement in his heart.

If you want him to say that the Qiao family is willing to marry their daughter, who is good in everything, to Gu Chenghui, I am afraid that most of the reasons are on Gu Tongju, after all, although the Qiao family is said to be a generation of scholars, but only one of Miss Qiao's uncles and grandfathers is really an official, and her uncle and grandfather finally died of old age in the county.

For a family like theirs, who have been stumbling on the road to the imperial examination for generations, but the results are not so satisfactory, it is obviously a reasonable thing to want to marry Gu Tongju, who seems to have a promising future.

Otherwise, could they still take a fancy to Gu Chenghui's poor family, and his parents were both natives?

The Qiao family didn't drink too much water, and all the excess water went into their brains!

Of course, Gu Chenghui himself was selected at a young age, which is obviously one of the reasons why the Qiao family is willing to marry his daughter to him.

He himself is smart enough and hard enough, and with Gu Tongju's uncle doing everything he can to support him, his future will obviously not be bad.

Yu Jiayan thought clearly, but he would not feel the power of the Qiao family because of this.

Quantitative media, people find their daughter-in-law's family, and want to choose a better family and a better son-in-law as much as possible, isn't this also human nature.
