Chapter 292 Ecstatic

There was no time to think about which unlucky guy had won the fourth place, the carriage slowly stopped.

Before getting off the carriage, Dajiang saw Xiaohe waiting at the side door.

"Brother, brother-in-law, my sister asked you to go to the main entrance and enter through the main entrance.

Congratulations to my brother-in-law for winning the third prize, and congratulations to my brother for ranking 20th in high school! ”

What's strange is that he and his third brother-in-law have already rushed back in a carriage. The younger brother and his third sister heard the news so soon?

Dajiang didn't understand, but it didn't mean that Gu Wenxuan didn't know that Zhou Banxia must have organized a voice relay competition, and he also had a book boy named Jiaxing who disappeared before that.

"Brother-in-law, go to the main entrance." Ojiang thought, feeling embarrassed, "I don't need it."

"Only 300 talents among tens of thousands of children were selected. You are only fourteen years old and you got the twentieth place in the first participation. Didn't you know that you are not ordinary outstanding?"

As he said that, Gu Wenxuan patted him on the shoulder, "Brother-in-law, you are a fourteen-year-old junior student, do you know what this means? Your Zhou Yujiang has an unlimited future!"

Xiaohe chuckled.

Dajiang blushed with embarrassment, "I am on the list because of your good teaching, brother-in-law.

It was you who worked hard to teach me questions, teach me how to answer them, and make a review schedule for me.

He also guided me step by step to review, and I went from the county exam to today smoothly. ”

"Okay, your brother-in-law deserves the most credit. Come on, listen to your third sister, the news team is coming soon." Gu Wenxuan picked up Xiaohe and returned to the carriage.

Dajiang hurriedly followed, "No matter how you say it, it is because of you and my third sister that I am a scholar. Do you know who among us is on the list?"

Xiaohe nodded his head hurriedly, raised his hand, and plucked off a finger, "Brother-in-law, you, brother Wenyu, and our uncle, I just guessed it right."

"Awesome." The youngest brother-in-law was much more interesting. He also knew how to report from high to low. Gu Wenxuan asked funnyly, "What else did your third sister say?"

"I didn't have time to say anything. The third sister was busy carrying the baskets containing wedding cakes and baskets containing copper coins at the front door."

Gu Wenxuan nodded. He could imagine that his wife must have been extremely excited when she heard the news.

Just as Gu Wenxuan guessed, the news team arrived very quickly.

The carriage had just arrived at the main gate and had not yet stopped, when the festive sound of gongs and drums had already reached my ears.

Zhou Banxia didn't have time to say anything more, so he quickly helped Dajiang pull up his slightly wrinkled robe.

Gu Wenxuan was so upset that he was even less qualified than his brother-in-law to get the 20th place in the exam. He was stingy and only gave him a thumbs up.

"Daughter-in-law, it's not just three thousand taels of silver, but this time I also got this house. The price has increased. Is Gao not happy? Still not happy?"

It was very hard for Zhou Banxia to hold back her laughter.

Unexpectedly, Gu Wenxuan would tease her at this juncture, making her almost laugh out loud in public.

Coughed.

"Happy, happy, excited, excited, overjoyed, and disbelieving. You are amazing. Let me be reserved for a moment."

Gu Wenxuan laughed.

"Reserved, like to do things without words."

OK, OK, be reserved and hold it in.

When the first list came out of the gate of Gongyuan and was posted on the long wall, there were about a dozen government officials in red delivering good news to the three hundred new students (scholars) on the list.

The officials in the ceremonial room will take the list and wait for the first list to be posted outside. According to the residence of the candidates recorded on the list, a dozen of them will come to announce the good news according to the distance.

This is a good job that every government official has been looking forward to for a long time. The families of all the candidates who are on the list will be given a silver reward. If you meet someone who is generous, the reward will be even more generous. But there is less porridge and more people.

Therefore, among the dozen or so government officials dressed in red, except for the general number, they had to rush to deliver documents to the government offices in each county under the jurisdiction of Zhending Prefecture to deliver the good news, while the rest were responsible for the local Zhending Prefecture.

In addition to the candidates who were born and raised in the local Zhending Prefecture, many candidates live not only in their hometowns, but a considerable number of them are still staying in the city to wait for today's results.

For example, Gu Wenxuan and others, when they registered at the ceremony room, their residence was registered as their permanent residence in Qinghe Village, and they lived temporarily in Jiying Lane. They could also go to Jiying Lane to announce the good news.

As these dozen or so government officials in red came out of the gate of the Gongyuan, some left on horseback, while others took the people's team that had been waiting for a long time to announce the good news.

The head of the case is temporarily living in Jiying Lane. According to reliable information, there are three new recruits who have not returned home yet.

Several government officials in red rushed to Jiying Lane with the news team beating gongs and drums, and actually arrived faster than Gu Wenyu and others.

The procession of announcing the good news came to the front door of Gu's house with a lot of playing. When they saw that the door was open and the master's servants were coming out, they started playing even harder.

Just like the previous door-to-door announcements in the Fucheng Prefecture Examination, the rankings in this Academy Examination are still from low to high.

Zhou Changping is not here.

"Quickly, get the money and give it to the bride!"

Zhou Banxia asked Gu Jiaxing to give the wedding money (silver reward). Even before Gu Wenyu came back, Zhou Banxia happily sent people forward to distribute the wedding money.

When the good news team announced the good news to Dajiang, and when they were singing auspicious words one after another, Zhou Banxia not only prepared to reward the silver, but also prepared two purses containing ten taels of silver notes each.

These two purses were obviously given to one of the little chief cadres, one to him, and the other to him.

This time, Zhimo, a scholar from Dajiang, came forward with a tray covered with red satin in both hands, took over the libretto from the announcing team, and presented the silver reward and purse.

"Gu Jishou came out."

Suddenly there was a voice, and the eyes of a group of people suddenly focused on Gu Wenxuan who walked out of the door.

Any cadre who can grab the good news is a perfect person. You don't need to open your wallet. You can know how much silver you got by pinching your wallet, and you can always say good things.

When it was Gu Wenxuan's turn, Zhou Banxia was more generous.

Not only did the wedding money prepared double, but there was also an additional banknote worth ten taels of silver in each of the two wallets.

Amidst the loud sound of firecrackers, Gu Jiaxing and others began to scatter copper coins and distribute wedding cakes. The noise could be heard in the entire Jiying Lane.

And the news that Gu Wenxuan became the leader of the Guiyuan trial spread quickly in Zhending Mansion.

After a while, not only the neighbors came to express their congratulations, but also the Lin family, Yun Kelai, and even the Zhao family manager came after hearing the news.

Fortunately, Zhou Banxia was already prepared in his mind - even if Gu Wenxuan and Da Jiang failed to win the case and one failed to become a junior high school student, it shouldn't be a big problem to choose the scholar among them.

Based on this idea, she had arranged enough people in advance to prepare the banquet and return gifts, so that guests would not come to congratulate her in a hurry and without any plan.

Gu Wenxuan and Da Jiang, as well as Gu Wenyu and others who rushed back, entertained the male guests who came to congratulate them, while she herself entertained the female family members in the inner courtyard.

The guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

The banquet is over and the guests are sent away.

Finally able to return to the room, Gu Wenxuan saw that Zhou Banxia had taken off the boss's jewelry at some point, changed into a dress and was rolling on the kang.

"So happy?"

"What about you?"
