Chapter 173: Catching a son-in-law under the list

After the trial list, everyone's faces were different, some were elated, and some were secretly sad, which can be described as a few happy and a few sad. And the first one was arrogant and generous to the beggars to give rewards, the losers sat on the ground and cried with emotional collapse, and the noisy outside the tribute courtyard was full of life.

Only 300 tributes were admitted in total, but as many as 5,000 or 6,000 people came to take the exam.

And there are very few cases like Gu Yunji and the three of them who are in the middle of the match. What's more, they look quite young, and their talents are so outstanding, maybe they can get a good ranking in the palace examination, and in the future, they will enter Hanlin and serve as Beijing officials, and their official career is simply smooth.

For a while, everyone looked at them with envy.

“…… Without my name...... I worked so hard, I worked hard early and late, how could I not be ......"

Bai Xingjia's face was pale, his hands trembled violently, and he puffed out his eyes and looked back and forth at the apricot list posted on the wall, but he didn't find his name. Suddenly, his mind thundered, his eyes rolled, and he fainted on the spot.

"Hey! Bai Xingjia! What happened to you! ”

Gu Yunji, who was standing beside him, was startled when he saw this, and quickly supported his body, but Bai Xingjia, who was completely unconscious, suddenly fell down, and he almost fell to the ground together.

Cheng Yan and the others were also taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Gu Yunji slowly put Bai Xingjia on the ground.

"Bai Xingjia, Bai Xingjia, wake up!" called several times in a row, but Bai Xingjia's eyes were still closed, and there was no sign of waking up.

Gu Yunxiao stretched out his hand to probe his snort, and after feeling the faint airflow, his solemn face eased slightly: "It should be that the long-term pressure has caused depression in the chest, plus he has not adapted to the water and soil since he arrived in Beijing, and his body has not been well maintained, so he can't bear the blow of falling off the list and faints." ”

Saying that, Gu Yunxiao sighed: "His situation is somewhat similar to me three years ago, he is immersed in the exam, dragging his body more and more empty, and once he learns that he has fallen off the list, the whole person will collapse." ”

"I can't wake up for a while, there are so many people here, I can't squeeze him out at all, it's not good to carry him to the hospital, I still have to ask a doctor to come over."

Gu Yunji frowned and looked at Xu Dong, "Xu Dong, you have fast legs, just go for you." ”

"Huh." Xu Dong reflexively agreed, and was about to turn around and leave, as if he remembered something, he paused in embarrassment, "Third young master, the little one is not familiar with the capital, and I don't know where there is a medical hall, why don't you find a passer-by to ask?" ”

Gu Yunxiao stood up when he heard this: "I know the way." There is a Zhou's medical clinic two streets away from here, the doctor is not only a skilled doctor but also gentle, I saw a doctor there three years ago, I will go with you. ”

Gu Yunji nodded: "Okay, then Cheng Yan and I are here waiting for you to come back." ”

Gu Yunxiao and Xu Dong didn't say anything more, and immediately turned around and left. And at this moment, there are many people who are as anxious as them to find a doctor, all of them are anxious and hurried, it seems that Bai Xingjia's situation is not an exception.

There were many fine stones on the ground outside the Tribute Courtyard, which was very embarrassing, so in order to make Bai Xingjia a little more comfortable, Cheng Yan supported his head with his hand to avoid landing directly on the ground.

When he met an acquaintance who fainted, the joy in Cheng Yan's heart was diluted by half, looking at Bai Xingjia's pale face, his tone was heavy: "I'm also a fellow villager, even if I win the first place in one fell swoop, but seeing him like this, I still feel uncomfortable." ”

"The imperial examination has always been like this, there are so many places to admit, and some people will naturally fall behind." Seeing that Cheng Yan's hands were working hard, Gu Yunji simply took off his coat and folded it into a cloth pillow under Bai Xingjia's head, "Let's treat it normally and do what we can is enough." ”

At this time, Bai Xingjia's eyebrows suddenly trembled, and his lips were slightly open, as if he wanted to say something, but his voice was too weak to hear clearly.

Cheng Yan noticed his actions in time, and hurriedly leaned down to listen: "What did you just say?" ”

“…… Water...... I'm going to drink...... Water ......" Bai Xingjia muttered in his mouth, his consciousness was not clear.

"Water? You want water, don't you? Cheng Yan looked up and looked around, his eyes showing sorrow, "But where can we go to find water?" ”

Gu Yunji's eyes searched around, and then fell on a row of vendors on the side of the street: "There is a stall selling wontons, he should have water." You're watching him right here, and I'll be right back. After saying this, Gu Yunji trotted towards the side of the street.

"What about people? Where have they gone? Why can't my son-in-law be found all of a sudden? However, after being pushed by the crowd a few times, Fan Fushang only shook his eyes slightly, and he couldn't find where Cheng Yan was, and he was immediately anxious and angry.

Hearing this, the entourage hurriedly stretched his neck and followed the master to find it. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he pointed to a blue-clothed young man in front of the wonton stall and said, "Master, look! Isn't he? ”

"I didn't bring a little girl, I was dressed in blue...... Yes, that's him! ”

Fan Fushang squinted his eyes and looked at the young man for a while, affirming his judgment. He rubbed his hands excitedly, and decisively ordered the entourage behind him: "Come on, give it to me!" Give me a good 'invite' to go home to my uncle! ”

——

In Xu's house, Xu Chengyu, who hadn't waited for the results of the list for a long time, couldn't sit still, beckoned someone to come and asked, "Yunji, haven't they sent someone over yet?" ”

The attendant shook his head: "Back to the master, not yet." ”

Xu Chengyu said again: "What about the Gongyuan? Any news? ”

The attendant said, "I've sent someone to see it, but I haven't come back yet." ”

Xu Chengyu was helpless, so he had to hold back the urgency in his heart when he heard the words, and sat back on the chair.

Xu Shuhua was relieved: "Daddy, don't worry, Gu Gongzi and they said before, if they win, they will definitely send someone to send the news." It's only been long since the list has been released, and I think it's inconvenient for the people of Gongyuan to look at the list, so wait, maybe people are already on the way. ”

Although Xu Shuhua was reserved and calm on his face, he had actually twisted the handkerchief in his hand a long time ago, his palms were full of sweat, and the tension in his heart was no less than that of Xu Chengyu.

"Good news, sir!" "Oh no, sir!" At this moment, two voices outside the house sounded at the same time.

Xu Chengyu and Xu Shuhua's hearts suddenly tightened, and they all stood up from their chairs.

Looking at the two little guys in front of him who were also sweating profusely and running out of breath, Xu Chengyu was entangled for a moment, and took the lead to look at the one on the left: "You say first, what good news?" ”

The little guy on the left raised his eyebrows and said happily: "Miss Old Man, Gu Gongzi and Cheng Gongzi have both hit!" Gu Gongzi is the first place in the first class, and Cheng Gongzi is the third place in the first class! ”

Xu Chengyu's face was overjoyed, and he immediately laughed: "Hahahahahaha!" Good! Good! Hit both! ”

Xu Shuhua's fingers holding the handkerchief loosened slightly, the sorrow in his eyes did not decrease, and he turned his head to look at the other little guy: "Now you say, what's wrong?" ”

The little guy had a bitter face, and his voice was anxious: "Back to Miss Master, Gu Gongzi was kidnapped by a group of strongmen on the street!" Cheng Gongzi and Gu Dagongzi are already chasing after them, master, think of a way! ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Shuhua's little face instantly turned pale.
