After Xiao Fubao's Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital Chapter 150

Chapter 150 Meeting again

Jieyuan ranked first in the provincial examination.

The Gu family members stood outside the crowd. After hearing this, they all looked at Gu Mingda.

"My dad is number one!" Niu Niu said excitedly.

Zhang Yunniang wiped the tears from her face.

My husband has been known as a child prodigy since he was young, but he was just a child for most of the first half of his life. There were many rumors from the outside world, some said that he lived up to his reputation, some said that he hurt Zhongyong, but the husband never showed any emotion.

But Zhang Yunniang knew in her heart how could he not be touched at all.

Now that she is a high school student, Zhang Yuniang only feels that all the hardships have come to an end, and her husband no longer has to be harassed by any rumors.

Gu Mingda stood there, but he was a little dazed. He thought that he might be able to go to high school, but he never thought that he would be the first place.

After a long time, he seemed to have calmed down and said to Zhang Yunniang: "Go back. The official will go home to send you a message soon. If there is no one at home, I'm afraid they will be disappointed."

Zhang Yunniang nodded and said: "I prepared the good news purse early in the morning. Now that I have won the first place, I have to make it 20% thicker."

Just as they were about to leave, an acquaintance recognized Gu Mingda.

"Brother Gu, congratulations! Brother Gu has become a blockbuster without even saying a word. He is actually a senior high school student, which is admirable!" The acquaintance grabbed Gu Mingda.

When the people around him heard this, they all immediately gathered around him, regardless of whether they recognized him or not.

Compliments and praises were heard endlessly. A group of people praised Gu Mingda to the highest level, and gathered around to treat him to dinner and drinks.

If it were a young and shallow-minded person, he would probably be upset when seeing this situation, but Gu Mingda is no longer young.

He bowed his hands apologetically to the scholars beside him and said, "Sorry, I have something to do at home, so I'm afraid I won't be free today."

The acquaintance held him tight and said, "Brother Gu, I have been named on the gold list and won the Toad Palace. What else is more important at home now than celebrating high school? Are you saying this as an excuse? It's a great day today, so don't let it spoil the fun. !”

Gu Mingda frowned, feeling in his heart that the man in front of him was very annoying, but he also knew that if he showed a cold face now, he was afraid that if he turned around, these people would spread the word that he was arrogant.

"Dad, did you agree to go back and tell me the story of Yan Taizu? How can you break your promise!" Niu Niu suddenly said.

Gu Mingda was worried and didn't know how to excuse himself, so he immediately picked up Niuniu, looked at an acquaintance, and said, "I'm really sorry, my daughter is in a hurry, I have to go back."

But the acquaintance still held him and said, "How can you take what a child says seriously? Brother Gu, it's just a story. It doesn't matter if you wait a few more days."

Niu Niu asked in a coquettish voice from the side: "Dad, you told me the story of Wei Sheng holding the pillar before, can you tell it again?"

Gu Mingda immediately looked awakened after hearing this, and told the other scholars present with a look of shame on his face: "Wei Sheng died keeping his promise. If I break my promise to a child today, it will be in vain that I have read the books of sages for so many years, and I am not worthy." The three words "scholar".

Gu Mingda deliberately pulled the banner and said it was serious, but the group of scholars around him heard this and couldn't persuade him anymore.

It's just that after the Gu family leaves, someone will inevitably say a few harsh words.

"Gu Jieyuan looks down on us."

"He can be proud for a while, but he may not be proud for the rest of his life."

"With such an unsociable and only dedicated to studying, even if I become an official in the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it for a long time."

The Gu family didn't know what was going on behind the scenes. At this time, Zhang Yuniang said softly: "Ms. sir, you have been studying hard for months, and you should relax quickly. Even if you go to have a few drinks with them, it doesn't matter."

Gu Mingda shook his head and said, "Yunniang, do you still remember Chen Sanlang?" Zhang Yunniang nodded.

Chen Sanlang was Gu Mingda's former classmate. He was very knowledgeable. Unlike Gu Mingda's difficult road to the examination, Chen Sanlang passed both the boy student and scholar examinations in one go. He came in third in the scholar examination.

At that time, everyone in the private school, including their teachers, felt that Chen Sanlang would be able to pass the examination sooner or later.

Unexpectedly, not long after he was admitted as a scholar, Chen Sanlang seemed to have changed.

The reason was just that after the results of the college examination were announced, he was coaxed into participating in a drinking party.

"At first, I thought it was just drinking. I was young and proud, and indulged occasionally. No one thought it was a big deal."

"But those booing people took him to drink, to admire the wind and the moon, to hang out in the Qin Tower and the Chu Pavilion, and to gamble on life and death in the gambling den. He couldn't go back, and he could no longer concentrate on studying. To this day , he is still confused."

Hearing what Gu Mingda said, Zhang Yunniang was so scared that she covered her heart and said, "Did these people do this on purpose?"

Gu Mingda nodded lightly and said: "Every time outside the scientific examination room, there are always people like this. They fail the exam themselves and don't want others to pass the exam, so they will deliberately try their best to drag others into the abyss."

If they were making friends normally, they wouldn't be so persistent if others didn't go with them. This group of people didn't hide their good intentions and would naturally try their best to pull people into trouble.

Zhang Yunniang looked at Niuniu on the side and said, "We have to find a way, otherwise your father wouldn't be able to get away so easily."

Niu Niu smiled and said, "I have been looking at Daddy. Daddy frowned, obviously he doesn't like those people."

Gu Mingda touched her little head and said, "I will continue to tell you the story of Taizu Yan when I get back."

Niuniu was so happy that she almost jumped up and said, "Daddy is the best."

Not long after the Gu family returned to the house, an official came to the door with good news. The auspicious words came out as if they were asking for money. Zhang Yunniang was so happy that she added several layers of wedding money.

Gu Mingda had no intention of staying in Jiangzhou Prefecture for a long time. After attending the banquet organized by the government, he waited for a few more days until a caravan passed through Guang'an County before setting off to return home.

Gu Mingda did not deliberately avoid it when he returned home, but perhaps it was God's will that the caravan he followed this time still chose to rest in the village where Li Yuanwai was located.

However, the village was not as hospitable as before. The villagers all had wandering eyes and looked panicked. They even refused to agree to the caravan's request to stay overnight.

Even if the caravan raised the price several times.

"Hurry up and leave, our village won't let passers-by stay overnight!" The old village chief came forward to drive them away.

This is the first time the caravan leader has encountered this situation.

"It's getting late. If we miss this village, we'll probably have to sleep in the wilderness." The leader said with a sad face.

Nowadays, the weather is getting cooler day by day, and these people are very tired from traveling and traveling. If they can't have a good rest, they will easily catch the wind and cold.

Gu Mingda jumped off the carriage, walked up to the people, and said to the village chief: "Village Chief, it's me, Gu Xiucai, do you remember? We lived here last time."

When the village chief saw Gu Mingda, his eyes softened a bit, and then asked: "Gu Xiucai, you went to Jiangzhou Prefecture to take the provincial examination, have you ever been in high school?"

Before Gu Mingda could answer, the leader of the caravan on the side said first, "Village chief, Mr. Gu Xianggong's high school came first in the provincial examination, Jie Yuan!"

The village chief showed joy on his face. After pondering for a moment, he asked: "Ms. Gu, I just want to ask you, is this caravan coming with you a serious caravan?"
