Chapter 997 King Qing
After Mrs. Gu and Gu Chan were squeezed out by Gan's that time, they stopped for a few days. Although Gu Chan didn't go out again, she still wrote a letter to her mother, saying that Gu Yun refused to split the business with her and dragged her along. To make money, I didn't mention Gu Yun's original words in the letter at all, and only blindly and irresponsibly speculated that Gu Yun must have been bewitched and instigated by Bai Kou, otherwise Gu Yun would not be so unfeeling to his family.

This letter was in the hands of Mrs. Gu. After reading it, she naturally scolded Gu Yun and felt sorry for her daughter, but it was useless for her to get angry now. Gan locked the small door and cut off contact with her mother-in-law. She is not afraid of her mother-in-law telling her that she is unfilial at all, so at this moment, Mrs. Gu is even more sad when she finds that she can't find anyone who can stand by her side.

Yang Mi didn't care how Gu Chan contacted her mother. He was still taking care of the business. Although these were Gu Chan's dowry property, they were the only source of income for the family. As a manly man, he certainly didn't want to hear about it. Some people say that he is supported by his wife, but in his heart he still wants to do business well and save a sum of money to start a new business.

Hitting Gu Yun is revenge, taking care of business is eating, both ends are important matters, both are important.

Time flies, seeing the end of February and entering March, the grading of the examination papers is over, and the release date is coming as scheduled.

Bai Kou got up early in the morning and rushed to the teahouse closest to the Gongyuan. She booked a seat facing the street several days in advance, so that she could know the situation of the candidates and the list of candidates in the first place.

There is no ranking in the results of the general examination, only those who are on the list are eligible to participate in the palace examination, and the first, second and third best Jinshi are selected.

Although only those who have passed the palace examination are serious Jinshi, the common people have long regarded the candidates who are listed in the examination as prospective Jinshi, and they directly call them the master of Jinshi. After all, the palace examination is not eliminated but only ranked, so those who pass the examination You can throw a big celebration banquet to celebrate your Jinshi status. Anyway, even if you are the last one in the palace examination, you are still a top three Jinshi, and there is hope for an official.

Most of the interesting stories of catching son-in-laws under the list also happen at this time. The rich families in the capital often send a large number of servants to compete for young Jinshi at this time. When people get married, their eyes often turn to the family members of high-ranking officials.

Since the sage promised Bai Kou the unmarried second-class Jinshi to be selected first, of course she had to come early to watch the fun.

On the day when the rankings are announced, Mrs. Gu is of course still busy at the official office, and can only go home to have a good rest at night. Mrs. Gu originally wanted her son to stay at home and wait for the news, but Gu Yun knew that Bai Kou was going to watch the announcement, so why would he be slow at home? Wait a minute, followed Bai Kou's carriage to the Gongyuan early in the morning.

The teahouse is on the same street as the Gongyuan, so the special rules of the Gongyuan have to be followed on this big day when the rankings are released. Vehicles are not allowed to enter the street, so as not to block the road. Both Bai Kou and Gu Yun had to get off outside the street and walk in.

But a lot of students who came to see the list came earlier than Bai Kou, just to get a good position early and be the first to see the list posted, instead of being pushed behind the crowd and not seeing anything.

The carriages of Bai Kou and Gu Yun were already blocked before they reached the intersection, they got out of the carriages separately, and made an appointment with the coachman where to meet on the return trip, Gu Yun took Bai Kou's hand and opened the way for the guards. Next, walk through the crowded crowd into the street.

After walking along the street for a while, they arrived outside the teahouse. Bai Kou led two guards inside, and Gu Yun continued to walk towards the Gong Yuan.

The teahouse was also full of people, the upstairs and downstairs were buzzing with people, the seat reserved by Bai Kou was by the upstairs window, and only this table was left empty.

The clerk led Bai Kou and the others to their seats, Dr. Tea then came over and set out three cups of this year's new tea and four dishes of refreshments. There were already idlers guessing which family it was that the daughter came here to pick a husband, but seeing how tall the two of them were, For the sake of Martha's guards, they dare not speak loudly.

Bai Kou was drinking tea while looking at the bustle of the street. It was almost time to release the rankings. Even when there are no seats, people keep coming in. It is comfortable to stand and have a cup of tea and chat with strangers.

It was the only table with female guests. Under the threat of the eyes of the two guards, no one dared to come forward, leaving a small quiet place miraculously.

Even so, some people deliberately came to Bai Kou's side.

Suddenly there was a small commotion at the stairs on the second floor, mixed with messy salutes, some important person came, Bai Koo turned a deaf ear to it, and sat leisurely without moving.

She didn't move, but the two guards sitting opposite her quickly stood up and left the table to salute.

Seeing that they were abnormal, Bai Kou looked back.

Instead of Gu Yun, Qing Wang Gongheng is now the number one male god in the hearts of women in the capital. Standing behind Bai Kou, his guards are taking off the brocade cloak on his body.

"Huh?! Uh, good morning?"

Gong Heng was standing right behind Bai Kou, and her chair was stuck and she couldn't leave the table to salute. She leaned on the edge of the table with both hands, and her buttocks were less than an inch away from the chair, as if she wanted to stand but didn't want to.

"Okay, you sit down, I'm just here to make a table, don't kick me under the table."

Bai Kou immediately put her feet under the chair.

The waiter in the teahouse squeezed over, changed four plates of new refreshments, asked the distinguished guest what kind of tea they wanted, turned around and went down again.

The tea guests at the adjacent tables also ran away in an instant, holding their own tea bowls and squeezing to other places. Naturally, the vacant tables were occupied by the guards of Duke Ye's mansion and the soldiers of Prince Qing's mansion. Dude Serve tea and snacks quickly with Dr. Tea.

"It's so early, His Highness is also here to see the fun?"

"Yes, this year's new Jinshi, I want to take a good look." Gong Heng glanced at the street, just in time to see the door of the Gongyuan open, and the person who posted the list came out.

"Sounds like there's a plan going on."

"Hmph, are you the smart one?"

"Ah? Could it be that I was wrong? It's someone else who wants to be King of Zhennan?" Bai Kou picked up the tea bowl and put it on his mouth, humming in a voice that could only be heard by two people.

The sharp eyes on the other side stared at him instantly, and Bai Kou smiled indifferently.

"The south side is good. There are passionate beauties, white sandy beaches, a sea of ​​uniform water and sky, and delicious seafood. The only downside is that you will be turned into a black monkey by the hot sun." Bai Kou began to miss the pictures of her previous life's seaside vacation. , "However, lying on the beach with your belly open, drinking cold drinks and basking in the sun, breathing the salty sea breeze, it doesn't matter if you get tanned."

"Hmph, that's a beautiful idea." Gong Heng put away the shock just now, and rolled his eyes at Bai Kou.

"I can't help it. Since I'm not beautiful, I can only think beautiful."

"The picture you describe is beautiful, but such a good place is not within the borders of the country now."

"I know that piece of land is not within the borders of the country. Otherwise, what do you want the King of Zhennan to do? To retire? King of Zhennan, King of Zhennan, you can only be worthy of this name if you can hold it. If you can't hold it, please die early and be reborn quickly." .”

"Sharp teeth and sharp mouths!"

Gong Heng laughed and cursed, not angry at all, picked up the tea bowl and took two sips of tea, then put down the cup and threw out a sentence.

"Would you like to come with me?"
