Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Gu Erzhu happened to see the word Qinghe Village, and was trying to tell Zhou Shun whose name this child was, when he heard his eldest son calling him.

what?

the first?

Top of the list?

Gu Erzhu looked stunned, walked to his eldest son's side and looked up.

what!

It really is number one!

His old son really topped the list!

"Uncle, our Dajiang is also here."

The ecstatic Gu Erlang finally remembered that he had forgotten to find Zhou Yujiang.

Fortunately, after a quick glance, I found it.

Dajiang actually ranked seventh!

Quickly continue to look at the list, all six people are on the list.

The worst they got was 21st place in the exam. Their Qinghe Village was in a big spotlight this time.

Looking at the crowd of people around who were either happy, lamenting, or crying, Gu Erlang quickly chose to take his father and uncles to retreat immediately.

At the same time, even if Gu Wenxuan couldn't hear Gu Erlang's voice, he heard someone in the crowd watching the results shouting who was the leader of this year's county examination case.

At this time of year, the last red list is posted, and all the answer sheets of the top three candidates are posted, from third to first.

Furthermore, just like him and Dajiang, there are family members who read the results, and there are also many candidates who are admiring the top three answer sheets while waiting for the results, including candidates from Zhaojiacun School.

Since the county examination required five people to sign a mutual guarantee, the one extra person among them was Zhou Xiucai and Zhao Xiucai, a classmate of Zhaojiacun School, who arranged a mutual guarantee.

Although he rarely leaves the village and has not yet participated in the county's students' literary meeting, he still knows the candidates of the Zhaojia Village School who are present.

Therefore, someone congratulated him on the spot.

The head of the case?

Some are unexpected, and some are expected.

The head of the case means that as long as you don't commit suicide, there will be no serious mistakes in the next government examinations and college examinations. The examiner will take into account the face of the county and college examination examiners, and basically you will not fail. In other words, you will almost have failed. Get the talent spot in advance.

Gu Wenxuan smiled and said a few words of humility, and bowed to everyone.

This is a time when etiquette is not perfect.

Although it has been said over the years that the first person to win the county examination must be a scholar, and no one dares to break this strong convention, he is not stupid enough to put on airs in front of everyone.

While greeting and saluting everyone, he also heard the good news that Dajiang got seventh place in the exam, so Gu Wenxuan exchanged congratulations with others and walked out together.

Gu Erlang squeezed out of the crowd and saw Gu Wenxuan and Zhou Yujiang walking quickly towards the place where the carriage stopped. He thought to himself that he was indeed his brother, so clever!

At this time, Gu Erzhu also woke up.

Head of case.

Yes.

Someone with good news will come to his house soon.

"Quick, let's go."

Word spread quickly.

Gu Dalang, who went to the city last night but didn't look at the results this morning, also heard the news that Gu Wenxuan was the leader of this year's county examination.

how is this possible.

He studied hard for many years and was only ranked on the list this year. Gu Liulang had to commit suicide the first time he was dismissed?

Gu Dalang stared closely at the returning Gu Yangwen.

Still in disbelief?

This is true.

Gu Yangwen couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. He nodded again to show that his eldest son had heard correctly. His dull and taciturn nephew had become a blockbuster.

Time and life.

He is not as good as his second brother, and ultimately even his son is not as good as his nephew.

"Let's go, it's a good thing. It's a double blessing. Let's go home early to tell your grandpa the good news. It will be a big help to you that he can get the head of the case."

Speaking of which, Gu Dalang is the most embarrassed right now.

Now that Rokuro is the head of the case, I wonder what the people in the village will think of him.

Fortunately, I am on the list this time. No matter how embarrassed and depressed I am, I still have to return to the village after all.

Whatever.

I can't lose my temper. It's time to go back to the village and visit the door to congratulate.

Gu Erzhu and his son had no time to think about what Gu Yangwen and his son were thinking at this time. The team announcing the good news arrived faster than each of them imagined.

Annunciation has become a profession.

The people who brought the good news were all young people, with good legs and feet, good eyesight, good conversational skills, and some relationship with the officials in the yamen.

These people know the people in the county and the villages and towns very well. No matter where the candidates pass the exam, they can accurately find the place.

Naturally, they who announce the good news will also divide the candidates into three, six or nine grades, such as high or low ranking, rich or poor family, whether they are generous, etc.

However, every year in the county examination, candidates with high rankings may not necessarily have rich families; conversely, candidates with wealthy families may not have high rankings.

But like today, a village has gathered the head of the case, the seventh, and the eleventh. Not including the neighboring villages, it is really rare for six people to be on the list.

In addition, some of the well-informed messengers knew that the head of the case was wealthy, so it was not just one gang but three gangs who wanted to come to Qinghe Village to bring the news.

Except for a few of the leaders of these three good news teams who were going to the homes of other well-off candidates to announce the good news, the rest simply came together in separate orders.

Here, Gu Erzhu and his party, including the father and son of the candidate from the neighboring village, went straight to Qinghe Village to study, and waited for the arrival of the patriarchs surnamed Gu and Zhou to lead them to the entrance of the village.

The procession announcing the good news entered Qinghe Village with a flurry of music, stopped in front of the gate of Gu's house, played harder, and the leader also sang auspicious words loudly.

"Quickly, take the silver and give it to Xi."

Very happy today.

Zhou Banxia stopped competing with her father-in-law and mother-in-law to give out rewards for the good news.

She just asked Uncle Cai to carry out two baskets of copper coins and give them wedding money to everyone.

In addition, everyone who works in her house today, including those in the fields and in the woods, all have twenty cash as a wedding gift.

After the good news team got the rewards, they started to go to the next house to announce the good news. She immediately took a shortcut with Zhou Daya back to her parents' home.

Stepping into the gate of her parents' house, she asked Zhou Daya to help Li, and then heard Dajiang whisper regretfully that he still didn't get into the top five, much to Zhou Banxia's amusement.

The top ten is already amazing, okay?

Besides, you are so young, you are not even fourteen years old, and you got a good seventh place in the exam for the first time.

Not wanting to say anything more, Zhou Banxia patted Dajiang's shoulder happily. Seeing that there was no third person in the east wing, he immediately took out the banknote - this is a reward for you, keep working hard.

One hundred taels? !

"Put it away quickly, don't let our father see it."

After finishing her words, Zhou Banxia saw her father coming in alone and couldn't help but smile, "Here, dad, you've worked hard too."

"Dad has it too." Zhou Shun was not polite to his daughter and took the purse from his Sanya, "Okay, dad knows that your eldest brother can't be short of money."

"That's what it means. Now and then, Dajiang will have fun in the future.

Dad, please put it away first and don't open it in a hurry. The people bringing the good news are coming soon. "

Zhou Banxia still said it was too late. Zhou Shun had already seen five banknotes in his wallet and didn't bother to look at the denominations. He was so frightened that he hurriedly stuffed the wallet into his inner pocket.

"Dad, I have it, here it is, take it out quickly -"

"Stop." Zhou Banxia laughed, stretched out his hand to straighten Dajiang's collar, and patted him, "Come out with our father, let others take a good look, our Zhou family is up!"

"it is good."
