Chapter 839

Gu Jinan is not a person with closed eyes and ears. On the contrary, he knows a little about this Xu family son. He knows that he is arrogant. He has studied hard at Honghu Academy for many years.

Due to the madman style of the previous dynasty, many literati in Dachu wanted to become famous in one fell swoop.As long as you have a reputation, it will be easier for you to take the scientific examination or become an official in the future.

Xu Zhaoming was two years older than Gu Jin'an, and he looked handsome enough to be described as handsome, but when he saw Gu Jin'an, his heart sank... The rumors are true, this Gu Jin'an really has the beauty of Zhilan Yushu.

Seeing Xu Zhaoming sizing him up, Gu Jinan smiled and bowed to him: "Brother Xu."

Xu Zhaoming was taken aback: "You know me?"

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

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

Then he smiled and asked Xu Zhaoming: "Brother Xu, you have something to do with me?"

Xu Zhaoming originally wanted to show Gu Jinan a disgrace, but unexpectedly, Gu Jinan took the conversation away, and his face was a little bad, but he still explained why he came: "The list was released on 28, and I have reserved the Futai Building on the main street. Sing the list. If Brother Gu doesn't dislike it, he will be with us, how about it?"

Gu Jin'an smiled and said, "On the day the list is announced, I will definitely go to Futai Building."

Seeing that Gu Jinan agreed, Xu Zhaoming nodded in a dignified and self-restraining manner, and walked into his own mule cart with what he considered to be an elegant step, but he didn't pay attention to Gu Dexing and the others at all.

Gu Dashan was a little worried that Xu Zhaoming would harm Gu Jinan: "Brother An, you will stay in the private room reserved for us by Mr. Hu's family on the day the ranking is released. Don't go to have dinner with Master Xu. He doesn't seem to like you very much."

Qi Panzi also said: "That's right, Brother An, you must be on guard against others. This Xu family has been rooted in Tianfu County for more than a hundred years. It has deep roots and is not easy to mess with."

Brother Cheng admired his elder brother the most, and he couldn't hear Qi Panzi asking his elder brother to avoid Xu Zhaoming, and said, "Don't worry about uncle, elder brother is the most powerful, and you won't be afraid of young master Xu, right elder brother?"

Gu Jin'an nodded with a smile: "Well, Brother Cheng is right, this appointment, the eldest brother has to go, and you can't be underestimated. There are all kinds of people in the world, and there will always be some people who are dissatisfied with your excellence and will be malicious towards you. , It's useless to avoid, we have to face it head-on."

Gu Jin'an is a very competent elder brother, and he will often teach Brother Cheng the truth.

Brother Cheng nodded when he heard it: "Well, Brother Cheng remembered."

Gu Jinan smiled and said to Gu Dashan, "Father, let's go back."

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

Gu Dafu and the others went home in another mule cart.

Today's life is better, there are many mule carts in the workshop, and you can sit wherever you want.

……

At home, the women of several families had already prepared meals, and as soon as they picked him up, they 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 pass, can you pass?"

Gu Dagui said dissatisfiedly: "The list hasn't been announced yet, how does Brother Xing know if he can get in?"

Chen Shi: "You are so vicious, I don't care about Brother Xing, I want to know, so I ask."

The third grandma scolded: "Shut up, everyone, stand at the door and ask at the top of your voice, what are you asking, and hurry into the house to eat. The county government searched a lot, and gave two small pancakes a day, and I couldn't get enough to eat." , Brother Ang and the others must be starving."

As soon as Third Mistress opened her mouth, Mrs. Chen didn't dare to yell any more, and hurriedly stepped aside to let Gu Dexing and the others enter the house.

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

"Hey, thank you, mother." Gu Jinan took it, drank a bowl of chicken soup in a few sips, warmed up, and said, "Don't worry, my son is doing well in the exam, and he will definitely pass the county exam."

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

After hearing this, Mrs. Cui became happy: "Hey, mother knows that Brother An is the most capable."

Gu Jinli was jealous: "Mom, what about me? Am I capable?"

Cui said with a smile: "You are smart and can make money. You are the most capable girl in our family."

Gu Jinli teased her: "Mother said that the eldest sister has no skills."

Gu Jinxiu was serving dinner for the big guys, and laughed when he heard this: "Don't tease my mother, I just don't have your skills, this is something everyone knows, what is there to ask?"

Gu Jinxiu and Luo Wu already had a letter of appointment, and the big stone in her heart was relieved. Recently, she was very happy. In addition to doing embroidery work, she would also learn to manage some general affairs and accounts of the Escort from the Chu family.

In short, she feels that she is not the fairy that Zhan Er said, but an ordinary girl who wants to have children with the one she likes and live an ordinary life.

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

Several families had another meal together. In the following days, apart from being busy with the work in the workshop, they waited anxiously for the announcement of the list.

……

On February 28th, the spring was cold and warm, and it was the day when the rankings were announced. The family got up early. As soon as the hour arrived, Gu Dashan and the men took Gu Jinan and the others 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 announce the good news.If it is on the list, someone from the county government will come to announce the good news, and it will be ugly if there is no one at home.

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

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

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

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

Xu Zhaoming's servant saw Gu Jinan and the others coming down from the third floor, and was very surprised. Didn't Futai Building say that the third floor does not welcome guests?Why did the group of mud-legged people from the Gu family come down from the third floor?

The boy didn't have time to think about it. Gu Jinan and the others had already come to him and said, "You are the boy from the Xu family? Take us to find your young master."

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

Xu Zhaoming didn't get up when he saw Gu Jinan coming, he sat and bowed his hands to him, and said, "Brother Gu is here, please sit down."

Gu Jin'an nodded with a smile, and after saying "Brother Xu", he said to the other students present: "Brothers are well."

These are all candidates for this subject, and some of them know Gu Jin'an. Qu Xiucai's nephew got up and greeted him: "Brother Gu is here, come and sit with us. We have a lot of seats here, and I can seat some of you."

Qu Xiucai was one of the talents who guaranteed Gu Jinan and the others, so Young Master Qu treated Gu Jinan well.

"Hey, thank you, Brother Qu." Gu Jinan took Brother Cheng and the others to Master Qu's table.

Xu Zhaoming was a little unhappy. He felt that Master Qu and Gu Jinan had put down his face. After suppressing his anger, he pointed to the chair of the chief teacher and said, "This position is reserved for the chief of the county case. Brothers, why don't we come here?" Bet, who can take this seat?"

Gu Jin'an laughed when he heard that, this Xu Zhaoming is really interesting, he has the same temper as Mr. Qi, he wants to dress expensively, but sometimes he can't do it, so he speaks up.
