: Let’s look at the list together

Author: Emei Swordsman

A few days passed quickly, and it was a day when the results were announced in a blink of an eye.

The commemorative examination is the same as the provincial examination. There are also officials from the government who come to the residence of the scholars to report the good news. However, because there are many tribute scholars admitted, the officials who report the good news are often too busy, especially the scholars with higher rankings, who are afraid they are just waiting for the good news.

I have to wait for most of the day. So in comparison, most people are more willing to go to the tribute court and see the apricot list posted on time.

As the sky was getting bright, Gu Yunji and his friends finished washing and breakfast, they were about to go to the Gongyuan to check the list.

Before leaving the door, Gu Yunji ordered Xu Dong: "I think there must be a lot of people outside the Gongyuan today. It is inconvenient for us to go there. Just stay with Guanyan and others to wait for the announcement officer. My elder brother, Cheng Yan and the others will go by themselves.

That's fine."

Xu Dong has been hoping to see Gu Yunji pass by with his own eyes, so how could he stay in the guild and wait for news. Hearing this, he hurriedly said, "San Young Master, please let me go with you. When I think about not knowing your ranking as soon as possible

, I feel like a cat is catching in my heart."

As he said that, his eyes turned and he said seriously: "Besides, when the exams were released in each session, many wealthy businessmen outside the tribute court were secretly looking at each scholar, and if they were attracted by him, they would tie him back to be their son-in-law.

Third Young Master, you look handsome. What if someone tied it back? If you have a small follower, you can help you block it so that you can take the opportunity to escape."

Gu Yunji was so amused that he reached out and knocked Xu Dong on the head: "You really want to follow me to see the list, you can make up any lies, right?"

"This is not written by Xu Dong, but it is true." Gu Yunxiao, who was standing beside him, interjected, "Every day the exam is released, in order to choose a bright future for his daughter, the rich gentry will do it.

They all went out to select the first scholars as son-in-law. This custom has a long history and is called "Catching the son-in-law under the list."

"But Xu Dong said it a little exaggeratedly. Although he was 'catching the son-in-law', he did not really forcefully tied up people. At most, he could just tie a red ribbon on his wrist. Even if there were some reckless and arrogant people, he would not care.

He directly snatched the scholars home, but that was a rare situation. Most of the selected scholars were half-hearted, and if they were really reluctant, the rich gentry would not force them."

"And in order to avoid getting into trouble, the rich gentry usually do not choose the children of aristocratic families. Third brother, you are relatively safe." Seeing Xu Dong's pitiful look, Gu Yunxiao was amused and couldn't help but help.

He said, "But since Xu Dong wants to go so much, you might as well bring him with you. Anyway, there are Guan Yan and others in the guild."

Facing Xu Dong's pair of hopeful eyes, Gu Yunji shook his head helplessly, and after all, he couldn't bear to refuse: "Okay, then you can go with us."

Xu Dong was so happy that he smiled and couldn't wait to go out immediately: "Thank you, Master Third! Let's go now!"

It was still early, but there were many people outside the Gongyuan. In addition to the scholars who were watching the list and their families, there were also vendors selling snacks and passers-by who were watching the fun. They were preparing to take the opportunity to ask for rewards from the scholars after the results were released.

The little beggar and a businessman dressed as a businessman were carefully observing the scholars. A large group of people were blocking here, and from a distance they looked full of black heads.

After Gu Yunji and his fours arrived, they just found a good position to stand at the list and saw the thin Bai Xingjia being squeezed in the crowd, so they hurriedly greeted him.

After finally breaking out of the crowd, Bai Xingjia gasped and bowed to the few people: "Mr. Gu, Mr. Cheng and Mr. Gu, I didn't expect to see you again. What a coincidence."

Seeing that Bai Xingjia's face turned pale, she looked a little more decadent than when she first arrived in the capital, Gu Yunji couldn't help but worry: "What's wrong with you? She sweated all over the head early in the morning, or was she not adapting to the local environment?"

Bai Xingjia smiled weakly: "Maybe. I haven't had a lot of good health in the past few months, and I have felt weak inside recently. Maybe I was tired of preparing for the exam some time ago, so I'll just have more rest."

Gu Yunxiao felt that his condition was somewhat similar to his three years ago, for fear that he would not hold on to it, so he reminded him: "You'd better go and find a doctor. You can't be careless about your physical affairs."

Bai Xingjia nodded gently: "Okay, thank you Master Gu for your concern."

On the steps at the intersection of Gongyuan Street, two middle-aged wealthy businessmen were observing the scholars in the crowd, seemingly struggling which one to choose later. They pouted and sighed and shook their heads, as if they were not satisfied with anyone.

Suddenly, a wealthy businessman's eyes lit up, and he pointed at Gu Yunji and others and said to his companions around him: "Hey, Brother Sun, how do you look at those who are there?"

"Where is it? Let me take a look." The rich businessman named Sun squinted his eyes and pointed in the direction. "The one on the left is short and thin, and he looks weak at first glance, which is not very good. Next to him

That one looks pretty good, but looks like she is in her twenties, right? Mostly she has married, not enough.”

Sun Fushang looked over one by one, and when his eyes moved to the two on the right, he showed a satisfied look on his face: "...The two on the far right are pretty good, with good looks and heroic spirit, and they are both eighteen or nineteen years old.

You can pay attention to the appearance of it."

Another rich businessman's eyes became brighter and brighter as he heard it, and he rubbed his hands excitedly: "I think they are good, especially the one on the left, who is so majestic. I will definitely be on the list later. I will choose him today.

, Brother Sun, don’t snatch me!”

Sun Fushang seemed very calm and did not rush to hear this: "Brother Fan, don't be busy choosing first, you can take a look. There is so much knowledge about catching a son-in-law on this list. You should not only choose a good-looking unmarried person.

As for the scholar, it is best to have a relatively ordinary family background, so that such a person will be attracted by your wealth."

"The one you chose is the only one among them who has a servant, and his clothes are not cheap. Maybe he is the son of the royal family. If you tie him up, I'm afraid he will not only not want to go with you.

, His family will still cause trouble for you in the end!”

Fan Fushang was so scared that his neck shrank, and he immediately gave up: "Then forget it, I can't afford to offend such a noble man."

As he said that, his eyes fell on Cheng Yan beside Gu Yunji, and his mind suddenly became lively: "That was not possible just now, this one next to him is OK, right? He didn't bring a servant, and his clothes were not as good as others' clothes. It shouldn't be

Children of aristocratic families.”

Sun Fushang looked at him with a funny look and joked: "You have a bad look. Your impression of these people depends on me. The crowd will be chaotic later. Can you recognize which one you chose?

?”

"Aren't you watching for me? What am I worried about?" Fan Fushang didn't care, staring at Cheng Yan tightly, and his face couldn't help but feel excited, "Today, as long as he is on the list, please don't care if he is on the list, please don't care if he is on the list today.
