Chapter 246 Look at the list
The days of waiting for the results to be announced were extremely difficult for Gu Yingxue. She felt that everything she ate had no taste and she couldn't sleep well.
She counts the days on her fingers every day. Normally, she feels that time flies by like a white horse, but when the day comes for the announcement of the results, it is as slow as a turtle, so slow that it can drive her crazy!
"Is your sister back?"
Gu Yingxue had asked more than three times early in the morning. She was extremely anxious and was just waiting for her daughter to come back so that they could go and see the list together.
"Mother, my sister will be here soon."
Xie Yichen also understood his mother's excitement at finally realizing her long-cherished wish, and he was very patient with her questions that she asked over and over again.
Xie Yiyao was afraid that her mother would get impatient waiting, so she bought some soy milk and buns from the system mall early in the morning and quickly rushed to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.
"You little girl, today is your uncle's most important day, and you're still sleeping in!"
As soon as Gu Yingxue saw Xie Yiyao, she complained in an unhappy tone!
She was almost going crazy with anxiety, her own daughter was still so slow!
"Mom! It's still in time! It's still in time!"
Xie Yiyao knew she was in the wrong, so she quickly took her mother's arm and acted coquettishly.
Gu Yingxue was not really angry with her daughter, she was just complaining. After being coaxed by Xie Yiyao, she smiled happily and walked away hand in hand with her daughter!
Xie Tingzhou looked at Xie Yiyao's back with some envy. Why was it that this girl could always coax his wife, while he had to put in so much effort to coax his wife!
It's true that people have different fates. It's hard to be a human being and it's even harder to be a man!
Just as Gu Yingxue was pulling her daughter out of the house, she saw Xie Yun running over quickly, shouting excitedly:
"Madam! You got it! You got it! Your uncle got it! Your uncle got it! You are the top scorer!"
Gu Yingxue stared at Xie Yun blankly after hearing this, she felt joy sweeping over her body, and the shackles on her body instantly dissipated. She held Xie Yiyao's hand tightly, tears streaming down her face:
"Yao'er, Chen'er, your uncle passed the imperial examination! Your uncle is the top scholar!"
"Madam, if we go to the Earl's Mansion now, we can catch up with the official who is going to bring good news to my eldest brother!"
When Xie Tingzhou heard what Xie Yun said, a smile appeared on his face and he quickly reminded his wife.
It would be such a shame if my wife couldn’t make it to this most important moment in my brother-in-law’s life!
I guess she will nag for a long time!
"Yes, yes, yes! We have to hurry up. If we don't get the good news in time, your grandparents will definitely be unhappy!"
Gu Yingxue was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. Although her belly was already very big, it didn't affect her speed at all. She ran out of the yard very quickly, and the maids serving her behind her looked accustomed to it.
There is no other reason. It is just that after such a long period of training, they have completely recognized a fact.
That's because their lady is in very good health, and no matter what happens, she won't have a miscarriage!
When other people's wives get pregnant, it's like they're carrying a golden nugget, but when their wives get pregnant, it's like they're not pregnant at all.
Old Master Xie and Old Madam Xie looked at each other with amusement. They thought their granddaughter-in-law was so lucky to have a daughter who was a miracle doctor.
Otherwise, with the way she's doing, she might not be able to keep the child!
Thinking of this, Old Master Xie and Old Madam Xie looked at Xie Yiyao with gratitude again. This child is truly the lucky star of their Xie family!
Early in the morning, Gu Yubai took Gu Yu'an to the Imperial Examination Hall to check the list. In fact, government officials would go to the residences of successful scholars to announce the good news.
However, since there were quite a large number of admitted candidates, the officials who announced the good news were often too busy to handle it, especially for the candidates with higher rankings, who would have to wait for most of the day just to receive the good news.
Seeing that his father had been having trouble eating and sleeping in the past few days, Gu Yubai took Gu Yu'an to check the list at dawn so that his father could feel at ease sooner.
"Second brother, did our parents tell you about getting married? Ever since the martial arts exam, I've been fed up with matchmakers. There are three of them every day!"
Gu Yu'an said to Gu Yubai dejectedly as they walked, holding up three fingers with a look of shock on his face. He couldn't believe that his market conditions were so good!
"Don't mention it! Mother has been nagging me these past two days, saying that if I don't get married soon, I'll be a bachelor forever! She wants me to get married right away!"
Gu Yubai was about to go and see the list with some excitement, but he immediately became dispirited when asked by Gu Yu'an!
"We agreed that we would never get married. You can't be a traitor like Gu Yuze!"
Gu Yu'an looked at Gu Yubai with a serious face, as if he would fight him to the death if Gu Yubai turned out to be a traitor.
"It's impossible for me to get married. If mother forces me to do so again, I will join the army!"
Gu Yubai said with a look of dissatisfaction that he was this year's top martial arts champion and originally thought he could go to the battlefield and become a general.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Wende made him a first-class guard in front of the emperor!
This greatly disappointed him. He had worked hard for more than ten years and finally won the championship, but he could only be a guard beside the emperor!
Just thinking about it makes me feel so fucking frustrated!
He had long been planning to go to the border and shed his blood. Now his family was urging him to get married, so he really planned to ask for permission to go to the border!
"Good idea, I'll go with you!"
Gu Yubai's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was now a second-class guard, and this really made him feel uncomfortable. He wanted to go to the battlefield, not enjoy the flowers and bask in the sun in the imperial garden!
As they were talking, the two brothers had already arrived at the Imperial Examination Hall.
"Hurry, hurry! The results will be announced soon!"
A man in a thin blue shirt shouted excitedly!
When his voice was shouted out, everyone in the Imperial Examination Hall, whether they were candidates, servants or family members, became indignant. Almost all of them had red faces, with expressions of either expectation or nervousness on their faces.
A huge group of people rushed towards the Imperial Examination Hall. Even the brothers Gu Yubai and Gu Yuan were pushed and squeezed into the Imperial Examination Hall!
Gu Yubai felt uncomfortable because of the squeezing, and secretly thanked God that he didn't have breakfast this morning in order not to waste time, otherwise he would have squeezed out as much as he ate!
There was someone next to him who was rushing forward while chanting something. Upon careful listening, he was praying for blessings from all kinds of gods and ancestors!
"These unfilial descendants, their ancestors worked hard for them when they were alive, and now they can't rest in peace after death and have to bless them, just let their ancestors die of exhaustion!"
Gu Yu'an felt uncomfortable being squeezed by the huge crowd. Hearing the voices of people mumbling around him, he couldn't help but muttering softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with angry glares from the students next to him!
Suddenly, a gong sounded, and several yamen runners in bright red uniforms came over, surrounding a minor official holding a notice in his hand.
The people were outraged and quickly made way for the clerk to post the notice.
For a moment, the noisy streets became silent, and everyone was staring nervously at the clerk who posted the notice!
The notice was very large, and the clerk had to stand on a high chair and with the help of a group of yamen runners to post the big red notice on the high wall.
This is a large red list with the candidates' names, seat numbers and rankings written on it. The font is very large, so even people standing outside can see it clearly.
