Chapter 56 She Rushed Up (Please Read)
The Lu Ming Banquet was held in Jingzhao Prefecture and was a very grand banquet.

It was the time when chrysanthemums were in full bloom, and chrysanthemums were displayed everywhere in Jingzhao Prefecture, and the faint fragrance of chrysanthemums filled the air.

Although the banquet started at You time, some students went to Jingzhao Prefecture at Shen time.

Gu Yize arrived not too late and happened to meet Shen Hongxiao, the son of the Prime Minister.

The two had been classmates some time ago, but their friendship was not very deep.

"Brother Gu."

"Brother Shen."

"Brother Gu actually won the first prize, it's really amazing!"

"you flatter me."

Just like this, the two of them entered Jingzhao Prefecture together.

Liu Dang was chatting with the students nearby, but when he saw Gu Yize, he immediately lowered his head.

Thinking back to what I said yesterday, I feel so ashamed now.

I never thought that Gu Yize would win the Liyuan Prize! I don’t know what kind of luck Gu Yize had!

Liu Dang thought that he would be ridiculed by Gu Yize, but Gu Yize actually skipped him and went somewhere else.

The seats are also arranged in a certain order, and are roughly divided according to the ranking order.

The banquet had not yet begun, and the sound of conversation could be heard all around.

Gu Yize remembered the fourth place Jiang Meng mentioned and looked over there.

Many people were gathered around that seat, talking happily. The man in the middle of the seat was wearing a green robe. The fabric looked unusual from a distance, with egrets and reeds embroidered on it, and several pieces of white jade tied around his waist.

This outfit looks like that of a rich man. I guess he spent a lot of money to buy this rank.

The man was chatting and laughing with the people around him, but when he saw Gu Yize coming, he stood up and walked straight towards Gu Yize.

This person came to Gu Yize, bowed and said, "My name is Li Xiangwen. May I ask if you are Brother Gu Yize?"

Gu Yize also stood up and returned the greeting, "It is me."

"Brother Gu, I have long heard of your great name. Today I am glad to meet you and find that you are not only knowledgeable, but also handsome."

"Brother Li, you are overpraising me."

"Brother Gu, don't be modest. It's not easy for a person to win the title of Jieyuan. You and I have both passed the imperial examinations. We will take the spring and palace examinations together in the future. You and I will eventually become officials. I hope that Brother Gu will take good care of us in the future."

Gu Yize smiled politely and said, "Of course, of course."

After the banquet started, an official came forward and spoke.

It is probably to say that it is not easy for you to pass the imperial examination. You will surely be on the list of successful candidates in the next spring imperial examination.

Many people came forward to toast Gu Yize, and Gu Yize drank them all.

But Gu Yize was careful and would refuse if he could, and if not, he would drink less.

After all, if I really got drunk, wouldn’t it be easy for me to fall into Zhou Jinyue’s trap?

However, Gu Yize can drink a lot, and many people cannot compare to him.

After the banquet, Li Xiangwen was supported by someone and came to Gu Yize again. He kept saying that they should get together more often when they have time.

Gu Yize also agreed casually. Not long after leaving Jingzhao Prefecture, there was a bustling market.

Shops and stalls are brightly lit with lanterns hanging.

There were people accompanying Gu Yize, but they were all students.

After a brief greeting, Gu Yize was left alone.

Gu Yize looked at the situation around him vigilantly. Although it was dark, there were lights everywhere and there were still quite a few people.

Gu Yize remembered that Jiang Meng said there was an osmanthus cake shop near that place. Zhou Jinyue was smart enough to know which road was the only way from Jingzhao Prefecture to the General's Mansion.

Seeing the osmanthus cake shop in front of him, Gu Yize slowed down his pace and looked around carefully, searching for Zhou Jinyue.

Sure enough, behind a small stall, Gu Yize saw a woman looking in his direction.

Gu Yize looked at the woman's face and felt very familiar with her. As he thought about it, he slowed down his pace and went to take a look at the stall nearby.

Qingshan was standing not far behind Zhou Jinyue at this time, watching Zhou Jinyue's movements all the time.

After hearing Gu Jiangmeng's thoughts last night, Gu Xun began to think carefully about who Zhou Jinyue was.

After thinking for a long time and still unable to guess it, Gu Xun wanted to ask Gu Yize who this was, but after thinking about it, he gave up. After all, it was too abrupt to ask Gu Yize who Zhou Jinyue was.

Fortunately, Jiang Meng finally heard from her heart that Gu Yize once helped a little girl find her lost earrings when she was a child.

Originally, this matter was trivial and difficult to remember.

But when it came to finding the earrings, Gu Yize mobilized Gu Xun and Ye Shu to search together. It took them a full hour to find them.

Only then did Gu Xun remember who Zhou Jinyue was. After knowing who she was, Gu Xun called Qingshan and specifically instructed him to follow Zhou Jinyue and not let her succeed.

Qingshan was also very confused, not knowing why Gu Xun would order him to do these things. Qingshan waited outside Zhou's house all night with a hint of suspicion.

The next day, Qingshan saw that Zhou Jinyue had no intention of leaving the house, and thought that the general was wrong. Who knew that Zhou Jinyue would go out anyway.

Zhou Jinyue is now in the vicinity of Jingzhao Prefecture where the Luming Banquet is held. This is the only way for Gu Yize to return to the General's Mansion. Could it be that the general has foresight?
Qingshan was a secret guard after all and had undergone a lot of training. As soon as Gu Yize appeared in his sight, Qingshan discovered him.

However, Zhou Jinyue saw Gu Yize a little later than Qingshan. Seeing that Gu Yize was about to reach her side, Zhou Jinyue was extremely excited.

After all, once this matter is done today, then tomorrow, or at most a few days, the marriage certificate between Gu Yize and I will be written.

Just when Gu Yize was about to reach her side, Zhou Jinyue found that Gu Yize went to take a look at a small stall nearby. After all, there was still some distance, so Zhou Jinyue decided to wait there.

Instead of rushing forward in advance, he would rush forward when Gu Yize comes in front of him.

Gu Yize chose the side of the road farthest from Zhou Jinyue, so that he would have more time.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Zhou Jinyue, Gu Yize decided that the moment he saw Zhou Jinyue running back, he must run to the side immediately.

Sure enough, when Gu Yize was less than three feet away from Zhou Jinyue, Zhou Jinyue ran up.

Zhou Jinyue ran while trying to unbutton her collar with one hand and playing with her hair with the other.

Seeing Zhou Jinyue running over, Gu Yize pretended to be unaware and looked straight ahead, but in fact he was preparing to rush to the other side.

But what he didn’t expect was that before Gu Yize even started running, Zhou Jinyue fell down.

Gu Yize didn't even look at him, but walked straight and quickly went towards the general's mansion.

Zhou Jinyue never thought that she would fall for no reason. Maybe she ran too fast and tripped.

Zhou Jinyue had thought that she would fall heavily to the ground, but she didn't feel the pain she had imagined. Could it be that she was numb from the fall?
