Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

There was a row of restaurants and teahouses near the ceremony room. Zhao Ning had reserved a seat early on. When they arrived, there were not many people in the inn, so they chose a good seat in the lobby.

"It seems that everyone had a good time last night, and there are not many people at this hour." Zhao Ning shook his fan and felt that he was different from others. Even though he was drunk last night, he still woke up early today.

Li Baolu ordered a lot of refreshments and waited for the announcement while eating.

Shun Xin looked out on tiptoe, really wanted to see the list in person, Li Baolu comforted him and said, "You might as well exchange some change, so I can tip someone later."

Shun Xin was very moved, and looked at Zhao Ning eagerly.

Zhao Ning was embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Sisters and sisters, the rankings haven't been released yet. I may not be able to get in. It's better not to make people laugh."

Although Zhao Ning felt pretty good about himself, he didn't think he could pass the exam the first time.

As soon as the words fell, a loud bell rang outside, and all the people in the restaurant subconsciously straightened their backs and stretched their necks to look out.

Released!

When everyone craned their necks to look at it, a young man who had stood in front of the list early on was staring at the list with piercing eyes. He jumped up after the first name was posted, read the birthplace behind it twice and pushed away. The crowd ran out.

Once outside the crowd, a person greeted him, "Brother, how are you?"

The young man kept running forward, and asked in a low voice, "Where is Gu Xianggong, who was the leader of the examination case in the Chinese Academy of Sciences last year?"

"In Fulai Restaurant, I saw them go in just now."

"Walk!"

The young man took his younger brother and rushed towards Fulai Restaurant. When he saw the signboard from a distance, he put on a happy smile and shouted, "Master Gu is overjoyed, Mr. Gu is overjoyed..."

He rushed in, glanced at Gu Jingyun in the inn, and immediately rushed over, "Congratulations to Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu is overjoyed to get to know Yuan!"

Gu Jingyun pursed his lips and smiled happily, let go of his raised heart slightly, and looked at Li Baolu with bright eyes.

Li Baolu was overjoyed. Although she had expected it, she was still very happy that she passed the exam.

She generously took out five taels of silver to reward the young man, and saw that there was a younger boy behind him, and congratulated them with joy on her face, so she touched another dime of silver to reward him.

Holding nearly two taels of reward silver, the young man grinned happily, and poured out a basketful of good words, "Madam is overjoyed, Mr. Xie Yuan will win the number one prize next year, and I will earn you a first-rank order."

The young man was also very happy. Their brothers stayed here in the dark once the third watch was over, and what they were waiting for was to announce the good news to the masters of the candidates and earn money.

The two threw away good words like they didn't want money, and then ran away happily.

The people in the restaurant also quickly realized that they came forward to congratulate Gu Jingyun with envy and hatred.

Xie Yuan, he is still a young man, Xie Yuan must make friends!

Some people thought he was young, and they were moved, but they also heard what the young man said just now. This young man Xie Yuan was married. They looked at Li Baolu disappointedly, and continued to surround Gu Jingyun enthusiastically.

It's a pity, but we still have to make friends.

It was busy here, and many young men poured into the restaurant to announce the good news, and one of them came towards their table.

Zhao Ningzheng was happy to congratulate Gu Jingyun and didn't pay attention, but Shunxin straightened his back and looked at him nervously.

Under his nervous and expectant eyes, the young man ran towards Zhao Ning, grinning and shouting loudly: "Master Zhao is overjoyed, congratulations to Mr. Zhao's 108 high school students!"

"Ah?" Zhao Ning was a little confused.

Shun Xin jumped up excitedly, grabbed her purse and shouted: "Okay, reward!"

He took out the silver in his purse and scattered it.

The person who announced the good news was overjoyed, bowed and said: "I wish Mr. Zhao will also go to high school next spring, honor his ancestors, and seal his wife and son."

Seeing Zhao Ning in a daze, Gu Jingyun patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Congratulations, Brother Zhao, for getting what he wanted."

Only then did Zhao Ning realize that he had passed the exam, and his ranking was not low.

His eyes turned red immediately, and he rushed forward to hug Gu Jingyun, but Li Baolu quickly pulled Shun Xin over to block him, and Zhao Ning hugged Shun Xin directly.

Zhao Ning: ...

He, didn't he just want to share his excitement with Gu Jingyun?

Li Baolu congratulated him with a smile, "Congratulations, Mr. Zhao!"

"Siblings are happy together."

Crying and laughing in the restaurant, many people were so excited that they lost their composure. There was an old man with a gray beard who passed out with a "boom" when he heard that he had passed the exam.

The doctor who had been waiting nearby rushed in when he heard someone calling the doctor in the restaurant. He pinched the person and gave him an injection. After saving the person, he smiled and congratulated and said: "Master Juren It’s overjoyed, and you’ll be fine after a few days of rest, I’ll give you a maintenance prescription to ensure that you will be as good as you are.”

So the doctor not only earned a sum of consultation fees, but also received a lot of tips.

Li Baolu was amazed when she saw it. The imperial examination is really a good measure to increase the national GDP and promote economic development.

Gu Jingyun and Zhao Ning broke through the siege, congratulated each other with everyone, and then went home.

Wen Sheng, Qiao Xu and the others also received the news. The two came to congratulate Gu Jingyun on behalf of twenty-three people. They planned to have a wine celebration in the inn where they were staying at night, and hoped that Gu Jingyun would be there.

Gu Jingyun naturally readily agreed.

Through the past few days of getting along, he also admired Wen Sheng and Qiao Xu.

Wen Sheng is upright and broad-minded, Qiao Xu is mellow, although he is poor but extremely principled, what is even more rare is that he has a firm heart, and he has not lost his mind even in adversity.

Gu Jingyun glanced at Zhao Ning and said, "Gu and Brother Zhao must be there on time tonight."

Wen Sheng was overjoyed when he heard the words, Gu Jingyun was Xie Yuan, Zhao Ning was also a Juren, it was an opportunity for them to be able to make friends with them.

He knew that it was Gu Jingyun who was helping them connect.

And Zhao Ning also knew that Gu Jingyun was helping him expand his network.

Although these twenty-three people failed to take the provincial examination this year, they are all well-educated and have a high chance of passing the examination after three years. We will keep in touch with each other in the future.

This is how poor students with no foundation manage their connections.

Before leaving, Wen Sheng said: "Yuan Fang's ranking is eighty-nine, and Ou Dunyi's is at two hundred and thirty-six. I heard that his reputation has been stripped, and the examiner has ordered that all the latter rankings be moved up one place, and the third hundred Zero one was admitted as the three hundredth."

"Good luck!" Gu Jingyun praised.

Wen Sheng sighed, "Yes, luck is very good, and luck is also a kind of strength."

Even if you fail in the examination, you can become an official and become an official. The difference between one rank and another is the difference between heaven and earth for a person.

So the happiest candidate for this ranking is not Gu Jingyun, Jie Yuan, but the 301st candidate.

Gu Jingyun waited for Wen Sheng to leave before he took Li Baolu's little hand and said, "Although the county government will announce the good news to the uncles, we'd better hire someone to make a special trip, and take the things we want to send with us."

"Then let's send more things. I'll go buy some soft fabrics for Niu Niu, and make beautiful jackets for her when the weather is cold."

"How much money do we have?"

"Don't worry, there is still enough money, twenty-three taels."

Gu Jingyun twitched the corners of his mouth and tapped her forehead, "Naughty."

Li Baolu grinned, "Don't worry, at worst we'll go back to the business again, didn't we just make a fortune last time?"

"I'm not worried. In two days, you can go to Gufangzhai to see if the painting has been sold. If not, you can get it back. I have my own way."

Li Baolu nodded.

Gu Jingyun was in high school Xie Yuan, and Zhao Ning was also in high school. The house they lived in suddenly became bustling, and many people came to congratulate each other every day.

After dealing with it for two days, Li Baolu decided to thank the guests behind closed doors. If she wanted to please them and go out to socialize, she would be exhausted and paralyzed just by preparing refreshments and meals.

Gu Jingyun also felt sorry for her, so he dragged Zhao Ning out, if you want to make friends with him, you can, come outside.

Li Baolu felt relieved immediately, and went to Gufangzhai to see the paintings she had consigned.

As soon as she entered the door, she was welcomed into the VIP room by enthusiastic staff, and served tea and snacks.

Li Baolu has been fawned on a lot in the past two days, and she wondered in a daze, could even Gu Fangzhai's staff know that she is Mrs. Xie Yuan?

"Ma'am, your painting is sold!"

Li Baolu was pleasantly surprised, "How much did you sell?"

"What you are selling is a map of immortals going out to sea. According to your price, one thousand taels!" The waiter said happily, "But I think that guest officer is more satisfied with your Qiongzhou sunrise map. It's a pity that your asking price is too high. That guest The official hesitated a little, if Madam is willing to lower the price, maybe five thousand taels can be sold. Even famous paintings are not worth the price, Madam is really lucky."

"Since one has been sold, I won't sell the remaining one. Let's pay the bill."

The clerk was stunned, "Don't think about it, ma'am? The price of 100,000 taels is too high. In fact, from a small perspective, 5,000 taels is already a very good price."

Li Baolu shook her head. She originally used the Qiongzhou Sunrise Picture to complement the Immortal's Going to Sea Picture, so she didn't plan to sell it, otherwise she wouldn't have set such an outrageous price.

Seeing Li Baolu's insistence, the clerk could only purse his lips unwillingly, and handed over the paintings still hanging on the wall to Li Baolu, while paying her the bill.

He wanted to charge a commission of one hundred taels, plus a daily storage fee of one tael for the Qiongzhou Sunrise Map, and finally gave Li Baolu eight hundred and ninety taels.

Because the paintings she brought were sold at a high price, the clerk did not dare to offend her. Although he was unwilling, he still happily sent her away. The price in our shop is the most reasonable in the city.”

Li Baolu nodded, thought for a while and asked, "Can you tell me who bought the painting?"

The clerk laughed and said: "It's not a secret. The one who bought the painting was Mr. He from Baolai. I heard it was for a nobleman. The painting brought by Madam is very good. Mr. He took a fancy to it immediately."
