Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 294 Erlang, I’m afraid

And the Juren is one level higher than the scholar. If you win the Juren, you will basically have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life.

There were actually very few real students among the onlookers. Many were just ordinary people who came to watch the excitement. When they heard that Li An had won the prize, they all expressed their congratulations.

After Li An thanked him, he took his parents away.

……

The restaurants and teahouses near Gongyuan were basically full on this day. All students with some status were waiting in the nearby restaurants and teahouses, and sent their attendants to look at the results.

Brothers Sheng Changbai and Sanlan were in a private room on the second floor of a restaurant called Yunlailou.

Yunlai Tower means that guests come like clouds. It is not very far from Gongyuan. Part of the private rooms on the second floor is opened, and you can just see Gongyuan.

Ru Lan stood by the window, looking at the crowds of people at the gate of Gongyuan, and stamped her feet: "It's been so long, why is there no news."

Sheng Changbai put down the tea cup and said, "Fifth sister, today's announcement will be unveiled. There are many people, so just wait patiently."

Sheng Changbai's book boy and Sheng Changfeng's book boy ran in with happy faces.

"Great, I knew brother Yuanruo would definitely pass the exam." Mo Lan said happily.

At this moment, there was a cry from outside, and the door of the box was pushed open suddenly.

The two of them were breathing heavily and looked excited.

If Sheng Changbai fails and Sheng Changfeng wins, then Lin Xige will be able to overtake Wei Ruixuan.

Among the five brothers and sisters, only Sheng Changbai is truly calm.

"Both the second and third young masters have been hit, as well as Mr. Li and Mr. Wen!" Sheng Changbai's book boy said.

Sheng Changbai shook his head, picked up the tea and continued to drink. He knew his sister's temperament well, and it was useless to tell her.

A bright smile appeared on Minglan's face, happy for both Sheng Changbai and Li An.

"Young Master Qi also won!" Sheng Changfeng's book boy said.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Minglan sitting not far from her, and she silently added Li An in her heart.

"Tell me clearly, who is the winner!" Mo Lan said anxiously.

"Second brother, how can I not be anxious about such a big matter? My mother is still at home waiting for news." Ru Lan said.

"Ok?"

"That's great. My second brother has won the exam. Mom will be very happy to know that!" Ru Lan said happily.

"Young master... passed the exam!"

Sheng Changfeng looked ecstatic, and even Sheng Changbai, who was steady and unsmiling, had a smile on his face.

Although Sheng Changfeng tried his best to look indifferent, whenever there was any movement outside the box, he immediately and calmly paid attention.

"Master, Master!"

"Where's brother Yuan Ruo?" Mo Lan looked at Sheng Changfeng's book boy and asked.

Mo Lan was similar, with a smile on her face, but in her heart she was praying for Sheng Changfeng to win the exam, and at the same time, she was also praying for Sheng Changbai to fail.

Sheng Changfeng, who was immersed in joy, looked at his sister in confusion after hearing this.

What's going on? You just heard that I won. You don't seem that happy, right?

Mo Lan was somewhat unhappy because Sheng Changbai and Li An passed the exam.

However, the news that Qi Heng won the election completely dissipated Na Si's unhappiness, and he could not pay attention to Sheng Changfeng's face.

Sheng Changbai asked the book boy about his ranking, and was not disappointed when he learned that his ranking was in the middle. He said, "Let's go. My parents are still waiting for news at home. Let's go back and announce the good news."

……

When the list was unveiled here in Bianjing, all parties in the world also unveiled the list on the same day.

Hongzhou is the administrative seat of Jiangnan West Road. At this time, outside the Hongzhou Gongyuan, there are also seas of people and it is very lively.

There were two people who stood out among the crowd. One of them was in his twenties, dressed as a scholar, and the other was in his late teens, dressed as a boy.

The reason why the two of them are very conspicuous is because they are very strong. The man dressed as a scholar does not have the weak temperament of a scholar at all, and is very different.

These two people were Gu Tingye and his follower Shi Shi. Shitou was met by Gu Tingye when he went to Bailudong Academy from Bianjing.

His brother and sister-in-law were a leader of the Cao Gang, and Gu Tingye was riding on their boat.

Chatting all the way, Shitou's brother and sister-in-law also learned about Gu Tingye's identity. They wanted to find a future for Shitou, so they asked Shitou to follow Gu Tingye.

"Shitou, have you found my name?" Gu Tingye kept looking for his name. After looking for a while and not seeing it, he asked Shitou beside him.

"Sir, I haven't... found it yet!"

Shitou was about to say not yet, when he saw the word "Gu" and said excitedly.

"where?"

"There!"

Gu Tingye looked in the direction pointed by the stone and saw only one named Gu Quan. He read the entire list but could not find his name.

"Then where is my name? I asked you to learn how to read and you didn't listen. Even if you can't remember the last two characters of my name, you should be able to distinguish between two characters and three characters, right?" Gu Tingye said angrily.

"hey-hey."

Shitou was not angry at being scolded and scratched his head in embarrassment.

Gu Tingye was too lazy to deal with this fool. He had been following him for four years, and now he couldn't even recognize his name, only the word "Gu".

After continuing to search for a while, Gu Tingye finally saw his name.

"Haha, hit, hit!" Gu Tingye said excitedly.

Gu Tingye was also under great pressure when he gave up martial arts and followed literature.

Now that he was able to win the exam, he was just one more qualified exam away from being named on the gold list. How could he not be excited?

"Congratulations, young master!" Shitou said happily.

"Let's go back!" Gu Tingye smiled.

The two of them were tall and strong, and easily squeezed out of the crowd.

After getting on the carriage waiting outside, he soon came to a house and stopped.

At the door of the house, a woman of about twenty years old, dressed as a woman, jumped up to look at the door. When she saw the carriage approaching, she quickly rushed to greet it.

When he saw Shitou getting off the carriage, he hurriedly asked: "Tou Shitou, has Erlang been hit?"

"Aunt Zhu, let the young master tell you personally." Shitou said and jumped out of the carriage.

Although Shitou didn't say anything, looking at the joy on his face, Mannia knew that Gu Tingye must have won.

But looking at Gu Tingye who came out later, she still asked: "Erlang, did you pass the exam?"

"Haha, I just said that I will definitely win this time. Where is the child?" Gu Tingye asked.

"Brother Chang is asleep. I asked Sister Rong to watch it, and the wet nurse is taking care of it. It's okay. I knew Erlang would definitely pass the exam!" Mannia looked happy, with a look of admiration, and asked Gu Tingye Very useful.

"Haha, let's go in and talk first."

Gu Tingye smiled, held Mannia in one hand and walked towards the house.

He didn't buy this house, but rented it. Bailudong Academy is in Jiangzhou, so naturally he will not settle down in Hongzhou.

This time when she came to Hongzhou to take part in the provincial examination, Mannia said she couldn't let him go, and he couldn't let go of his children either, so he took Mannia and the two children to Hongzhou.

Living in an inn was inevitably inconvenient, so I rented a house in Hongzhou.

Arriving at the main hall and sitting down, Mannia said: "Erlang, you said before that you would go back to Bianjing after winning the imperial examination. Now that you have won, is it time to go back?"

After hearing this, Gu Tingye was silent for a while and said, "It's time to go back. Anyway, I still have to go back to participate in the examination next year."

According to the plan to take care of Tingye, he originally didn't want to go back so soon.

He planned to go back after winter. After all, he now had an outhouse and two children. Once his father found out, he would definitely be angry.

However, he had been exchanging letters with Sheng Changbai and Li An. After their persuasion, he planned to return to Bianjing early and study at the Sheng family for a period of time to prepare for the exam next year.

"Erlang, I'm afraid." Mannia looked at Gu Tingye with worry in her eyes.
