Gu Wenjing waited until He Zhengming and others came out and returned to their residence with them.

After a break, the six people gathered together in the night to discuss the provincial examination that they had just passed. In fact, it was just like the students who answered the answers together after the modern examination.

However, in this ancient imperial examination, most of the test questions did not have fixed answers, and the six people hoped that they would win, so when they communicated, the husband said that the mother had reason and the mother said that the mother was right, and Gu Wenjing was too lazy to argue with them.

It was noon the next day.

Gu Wenjing went to Yanyun Tower as agreed.

Yanyun Tower is the largest restaurant in this city. It is located on a bustling street. Everyone who comes and goes is of extraordinary status.

When Gu Wenjing walked into Yanyun Tower in an ordinary scholar's uniform, he looked at him and most of the guests were scholars who came to participate in the provincial examination like him.

He mentioned Li Cheng's name to the waiter, and the waiter immediately took him to the private room upstairs.

Pushing open the door of the box, Gu Wenjing saw that Li Cheng was waiting for him in the box in advance.

Gu Wenjing smiled and said, "Brother Li!"

Li Cheng also smiled and replied: "Brother Gu, please!"

Soon someone came to serve the dishes, and the empty table in the box was filled with delicious dishes.

However, Gu Wenjing did not show any strange colors. Even though these dishes were difficult to eat in his life, he had never eaten any delicacies in his previous lives. In his opinion, the top-notch table in Yanyunlou was still very ordinary.

Li Cheng noticed Gu Wenjing's reaction and was a little curious. The reason why he chose to contact Gu Wenjing was not only because of the misunderstanding that day, but also because he noticed the temperament that the nobles in the capital felt from Gu Wenjing.

Ordinary people may only think that Gu Wenjing is elegant and decent, but Li Cheng knew that this temperament can only be nurtured in wealth and glory. He sent someone to check Gu Wenjing's family background, but found that the Gu family was just an ordinary farming and studying. Compared with the Li family, the Gu family was poor. He was very curious, how could such a family raise someone like Gu Wenjing?

This curiosity made Li Cheng willing to contact Gu Wenjing. However, after further contact today, he felt from the bottom of his heart that Gu Wenjing is really worthy of making friends with, and is an outstanding talent with equal importance to both talent and character.

Of course, Li Cheng is not the kind of brainless person who is jealous of others' excellence. Instead, when he meets talents who are better than himself, he will take the initiative to make friends.

So when both sides were interested in making friends, Gu Wenjing and Li Chengxiang had a great chat and even regretted that they met too late.

After the meal, the two had a great chat. Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Wenjing took the initiative to say, "I really regret that I met Brother Li today. Unfortunately, it was getting late. Wenjing had to say goodbye and go back."

Li Cheng stood up and sent him: "Brother Gu, let's go slowly, we will get together again if we have time in the future."

Gu Wenjing smiled and said, "Brother Li stayed."

Li Cheng sent Gu Wenjing away from Yanyun Tower.

Gu Wenjing returned to the rental residence, still smelling alcohol on her body. Gu’s father hurriedly said, “Go and wash your face quickly. I’m worried that you are drunk and have prepared the sobering tea for you.”

Gu’s father had never taken care of others at home. Now he followed Gu Wenjing to take the provincial examination in the prefecture and took good care of him everywhere.

Although Gu Wenjing remembered the strange-smelling cup of sober tea that Luo Qingyi fed when he first came over, he didn't want to drink it, but in the end, it was not easy for Gu's father to be in vain. He walked into the house, poured the sober tea in, and then went to wash his face.

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Provincial test results date.

Gu Wenjing had originally watched the crowded scene and wanted to hire someone to help him see the list, but he didn't expect that Gu's father would go there in person without saying a word, and he couldn't even call him back.

In Gu’s words, it is: “My son is admitted to Juren, and I, the first one to be a father, always knows.”

Gu Wenjing could only watch Gu’s father squeezed into the crowd and disappeared. He wanted to squeeze in and pulled Gu’s father out, but He Zhengming grabbed him: “What are you anxious about? Let my book boy go and help my uncle!”

He Zhengming's book boy is not a real boy. After all, how can a young and weak book boy protect He Zhengming to go to the imperial examination? His book boy was a strong boy specially found by He's father. Except for being a little shy, he was actually very strong and had a strong physique. He squeezed into the crowd, and no one else could squeeze him.

Several other scholars also asked He Zhengming's book boy to help him check the list.

Gu Wenjing stood outside the crowd and waited with He Zhengming. After a while, he heard Gu's father's ecstatic voice: "I've won! I've won! My son knows Yuan!"

Gu's father looked at the first name on the list and was so excited that he was so angry that he shouted. However, no one around laughed at him, but instead looked at him with envious and jealous eyes.

This time, Gu's father wanted to squeeze out, but he didn't need the help of Shutong. The crowd around him took the initiative to make way.

When Gu’s father squeezed in, his hair was a little loose and his clothes were wrinkled, but he didn’t care about his inappropriate image at all. He excitedly grabbed Gu Wenjing’s hand: “Wenjing! You know Yuan in the middle!”

Gu Wenjing felt that there was nothing surprising about knowing Yuanzhen in his mind. The knowledge he learned in every world and the ability of the original owner would be transformed into skills and kept in his soul by the system, and would never be forgotten. So even though it has been many, many years since he participated in the imperial examination before, his imperial examination skills are still there, as long as nothing unexpected happens, he is still very likely to get Jie Yuan.

But Gu Wenjing is calm, which does not mean that everyone around him can be so calm. He could feel that even He Zhengming cast envious eyes at him, not to mention Zhang Xiucai and others, which was so jealous that his eyes were almost red.

They were not even sure of being the first to pass the Juren, but Gu Wenjing was the first to pass the Juren. What does this mean? It means that his next exam is almost certain to be nominated on the list! After that, only the ranking of the palace exam is not the best. In other words, Gu Wenjing will win the Jinshi without any accidents and will become an official in the future. He is not from the same class as them!

No matter how jealousy was eaten in Zhang Xiucai and others, they were smiling and congratulating Gu Wenjing: "Congratulations to Brother Gu for winning the first place, and the Jinshi is in sight!"

Gu Wenjing also smiled and replied, "Happy together!"

When the other candidates next to them heard the movements from them, they learned that Gu Wenjing was the first name Jie Yuan. Seeing that he was so young, they took the initiative to come forward to make friends: "Gu Jie Yuan is so young and talented, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future!"

It’s not that there are people who say strange things in their hearts, but these people are still very rational. It’s okay to say a few words in their hearts. Why bother to say it out loud and let a young Jie Yuan hold a grudge! Maybe he will still be fighting for the imperial examination in the future and he will become an official. Even if he is lucky enough to pass the Jinshi exam, he will become his boss by then.

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Gu Wenjing and others waited outside the crowd for a long time before He Zhengming's book boy squeezed out again, with no joy on his face. He looked at He Zhengming's face nervously and whispered: "Young Master, I didn't see your names on the list."

As a scholar, he naturally knew a few words. He would recognize the names of his young master and other scholars, but he read the list several times and looked for them one by one. Except for Gu Wenjing, who ranked first, he did not see a familiar name.

He Zhengming sighed slightly, not surprising. He was already unsure after the exam. He didn't pass the exam, but in fact he could guess the feeling when he was taking the exam. When he took the exam, he only felt that this question was not good and that question was very difficult. He didn't know how to start writing. He barely wrote the complete answer sheet. As for whether he could win, he was also lucky.

However, the level is not enough, the test scores are reflected.

He Zhengming can still accept reality. He is still young and will do it again three years later. But Zhang Xiucai and the older scholars cannot accept it: "I don't believe it! Why did I miss it? It must be that he didn't read the list seriously, I want to go and see it myself!"

Zhang Xiucai and others didn't care about their decency and rushed into the crowd.

He Zhengming shook his head slightly and looked at Gu Wenjing: "Brother Gu, you passed the Jieyuan exam, we should celebrate it!"

Zhang Xiucai and others probably don’t have the mood to participate, and judging by their appearance, they will not accept the truth if they don’t look at the list ten or twenty times.

Of course, Gu Wenjing would not let He Zhengming celebrate his victory after failing the exam. It was too unkind. He found a reason: "The prices here are too expensive. I don't know how much silver you can spend on a celebration. It's better to go back to Qingyang County. Anyway, you have to hold a banquet when you go back. You must come to attend."

He Zhengming smiled slightly and nodded: "Okay, I will definitely participate." At that time, he should have come out of the loss of failing the exam.

When they came, all the six scholars were full of expectations for the provincial examination. When they returned, only Gu Wenjing and Gu’s father were happy. Perhaps there was another He Zhengming who was sincerely happy for his friends.

Before leaving home, Gu Wenjing wrote a letter to Li Cheng.

After almost all the people watching the list were dispersed, Gu Wenjing went to see the list. He saw that Li Cheng was also on the list and passed the exam. Even An Jingcheng, who had helped him, was on the list. However, An Jingming, who had framed An Jingcheng, failed the exam.

Gu Wenjing wrote a letter of congratulations to Li Cheng before leaving, and then apologized in the letter. He was eager to return home and could not get together with him, so he agreed to meet in the capital for the next year's meeting.

Li Cheng naturally knew that Gu Wenjing knew Yuan. For such a promising friend, Li Cheng certainly would not mind his farewell without saying goodbye. He even replied to the letter because he was worried that Gu Wenjing had already left here before the letter was sent out and he sent the letter to Qingyang County.

After Gu Wenjing and Gu’s father arrived home, they found that the house was full of joy. As soon as they entered the door, Gu’s mother and Gu Linglong and Luo Qingyi came up to greet him.

Gu Linglong also shouted to Gu Wenjing playfully: "Brother Jie Yuan!"

This is the good news that Gu Wenjingzhong knows about Yuan at home.

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Father Gu asked curiously: "We are not back yet, how do you know this good news?"

Gu's mother smiled and said, "It was the county magistrate who sent someone to tell us the good news."

Gu’s father was shocked: “Mr. County Magistrate?”

Gu Wenjing smiled and said, "There is nothing strange about this. I am from Qingyang County. I passed the imperial examination and was also the political achievement of the county magistrate. Moreover, I am Jie Yuan. In the future, I will pass the imperial examination and be appointed as an official. I will be a colleague of the county magistrate."

The magistrate of Qingyang County just showed his good intentions and sent someone to report the good news in advance. It was really not a big deal.

After hearing Gu Wenjing's words, Gu's father felt confident. Later, he realized that his son was already so powerful that he could be a colleague with the county magistrate in the future!

Before, the county magistrate sent someone to the Gu family to report the good news, but a well-informed person came to express his congratulations. Now that Gu Wenjing is back, there are more people coming to congratulate him, and local squire and landlords are coming to give gifts one after another.

Gu Wenjing accepted these gifts, but the inexpensive gifts he chose were already a very generous gift in the Gu family.

Father Gu said worriedly: "Will there be any trouble after receiving so many gifts?"

While recording the information of the gift giver, Gu Wenjing said: "I am already a juren. These things are normal human relations. If there are any happy events in the future, we will follow this standard for returning gifts."

After he finished writing the gift list, he handed it to Luo Qingyi: "Madam, you should keep this, and you will have to worry more about the relationship between people in the future."

Luo Qingyi happily accepted this order and carefully wrote down the contents above. This was the task she handed over to her!

In fact, before Gu Wenjing came back, Luo Jinbao asked his wife to congratulate him. Mrs. Luo specifically instructed Luo Qingyi: "My son-in-law has become a juren now, and is no longer the scholar who had to rely on the Luo family to support him before. You must keep your son-in-law's heart well."

The Luo family was also worried about the kind of divorce and marriage. After all, there were no merchants who had sponsored scholars before, and some scholars turned against each other after passing the imperial examination. However, some were successfully helped by the scholar's son-in-law, so the benefits brought by this success still made many merchants without backers excited.

Although Luo Qingyi believed that her husband was not the kind of person who broke the bridges across the river, she was still a little nervous when Mrs. Luo said that.

Now that Gu Wenjing is back, his attitude is as always, and he still gives her such an important task, it means that he still trusts her, the wife.

Gu Wenjing had just sent away a wave of gift-giving people, and then welcomed the Luo family.

Before Gu Wenjing came back, Luo Jinbao learned the good news that Gu Wenjing had won the award, and he wanted to come to congratulate him in person. However, at that time, the family members of the Gu family were not easy to bring people to the house, so he had to let Mrs. Luo do it for him.

Later, when Gu Wenjing came back, Luo Jinbao found that the Gu family was crowded and the threshold was almost flattened by the gift-giving people. Among them, there were many merchants who were richer than the Luo family. The Luo family could not even have any names.

So Luo Jinbao could only choose a suitable time and bring his family to congratulate Gu Wenjing.

Luo Jinbao has many children, and there are four legitimate daughters alone. In addition to Luo Qingyi, Luo Liuyi, he also has two legitimate sons. The youngest son is still young and has not brought him, but the eldest son Luo Jintang is already learning to manage the family business with Luo Jinbao. Today he specially brought him a good relationship with Gu Wenjing, the son-in-law of the juren.

This time when he came to the Gu family, Luo Jinbao not only brought his wife and eldest son, but also brought his second daughter Luo Liuyi and his son-in-law Qi Ran.

The Qi family also wanted to use the relationship between her brother-in-law and Gu Wenjing, so they spent a lot of money to ask Luo Jinbao to make a connection.

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Gu Wenjing and Luo Qingyi went to welcome Luo Jinbao and his wife together: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, please come in quickly!"
