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

   "It seems that everyone was very happy 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 very drunk last night, he still got up early today.

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

   She put her toes on her toes and looked out. She wanted to see the list in person, so Li Baolu reassured him: "You might as well change some change, so that you can give a reward later."

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

  Zhao Ning snorted and whispered: "Brother and sister, it hasn't been released yet, I may not be able to make it, so don't make a joke."

  Although Zhao Ning feels pretty good about himself, he doesn't think he can pass the exam the first time.

   The voice just fell, and a big bell rang outside, all the people in the restaurant straightened their backs subconsciously, stretched their necks and looked out.

   is out!

When everyone craned their necks to look, a young man who had been standing in front of the list early stared at the list with bright eyes. He jumped up as soon as the first name was posted, and then squeezed away the place of origin after reading it twice. The crowd ran out.

   As soon as he got out of the crowd, someone 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 middle school exam last year?"

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

"Walk!"

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

   He rushed in, glanced at the inn and saw Gu Jingyun, and rushed over immediately, "He Xi, Master Gu, Master Gu is overjoyed to understand Yuan!"

   Gu Jingyun pursed his lips and smiled happily, his heart was slightly lowered, and his eyes were bright as he looked at Li Baolu.

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

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

  The young man grinned happily with nearly two taels of reward silver, and he jumped out with a bag of good words, "Madam is overjoyed, next year, Master Xie Yuan will win the first prize, and I will give you a first-class life."

  The young man was also very happy. After the third shift, their brothers waited in the dark and waited here to announce the good news to these candidates and earn money.

   The two of them threw a basket of good words as if they didn't need money, and then they ran away happily.

   The people in the restaurant also reacted quickly, and came up to congratulate Gu Jingyun with envy and hatred.

  Jie Yuan, he is still a teenager, he must make friends!

  Some people saw him young, and they were still moved, but they also heard what the young man said just now, this young man Xie Yuan was already married, they glanced at Li Baolu in disappointment, and continued to surround Gu Jingyun enthusiastically.

  Although it is a pity, we still have to make friends.

   It was lively here, and there were a lot of good news boys pouring into the restaurant, and one of them came to their table.

   Zhao Ning was happy and said to Gu Jingyun that he didn't pay attention, but Shunxin straightened his back and looked at him nervously.

   In his anxiously looking forward eyes, the young man ran towards Zhao Ning, grinned and said loudly, "Congratulations to Mr. Zhao, congratulations to Mr. Zhao for the 108th high school!"

   "Huh?" Zhao Ning was a little confused.

  Sweetly but excitedly jumped up, grabbed his purse and shouted, "Okay, reward!"

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

   The person who announced the good news was overjoyed and said with a bow: "I wish Master Zhao that he will be in high school next year, honor his ancestors and honor his ancestors, and seal his wife and son."

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

   Zhao Ning finally realized that he actually passed the exam, and his ranking was not low.

   His eyes turned red, and when he jumped up, he was about to hug Gu Jingyun. Li Baolu quickly pulled Shunxin over and blocked him, and Zhao Ning hugged Shunxin directly.

  Zhao Ning:…

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

  Li Baolu smiled and congratulated him, "Congratulations to Mr. Zhao!"

   "Brothers and sisters rejoice."

   There were many people crying and laughing in the restaurant. There were many people who were so excited that they lost their way. One old man with a gray beard fainted with a "dong" after hearing that he had passed the test.

The doctor who had been waiting early heard someone calling the doctor in the restaurant and rushed in, pinching and stabbing the person again. After saving the person, he smiled and congratulated him and said, "Master Juren. It’s overjoyed, it’ll be fine after a few days of rest, I’ll give you a prescription for maintenance, and make sure you’re strong.”

   So the doctor not only earned a medical fee, but also received a lot of rewards.

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

  Gu Jingyun and Zhao Ning broke through the siege and went home after congratulating everyone.

  Wensheng, Qiao Xu and others also received the news. They represented twenty-three people to congratulate Gu Jingyun. They planned to have a drink in the inn where they were staying at night to celebrate, and hoped that Gu Jingyun would be there.

  Gu Jingyun readily agreed.

  Through the few days of getting along, he also appreciates Vincent and Qiao Xu.

  Wensheng is upright and broad-minded, Qiao Xu is mellow, although poor, he is very principled. What is even more rare is that he has a firm heart, and he does not lose his mind when faced with a disaster.

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

   Wensheng was overjoyed when he heard the words, Gu Jingyun was not to mention Xie Yuan, Zhao Ning was also a master, and it was a chance 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 contacts.

   Although these 23 people failed to take the township examination this year, their knowledge is good. They have a high chance of passing the examination in 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-ninth, Ou Dunyi is two-hundred and thirty-sixth, I heard that his fame was stripped, the examiner has ordered the following rankings to move up one place, and the third hundredth Zero and one were admitted as the 300th."

   "Good luck!" Gu Jingyun praised.

   Vincent sighed, "Yeah, luck is very good, and luck is also a kind of strength."

  Education of people in the exam, even if you fail the jinshi exam, you can still find an official position. The difference between one person and one person is the difference between heaven and earth.

   So this time, the one who liked the list the most was 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 go there on purpose, and by the way, bring the things we want to send with you."

   "Then let's send more things. I'll buy some soft fabric for Niuniu, and make her a beautiful jacket when the weather is cold."

   "How much money do we have on us?"

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

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

  Li Baolu giggled, "Don't worry, let's go to the business again, didn't we just make some money last time?"

   "I'm not worried. You can go to Gufangzhai in two days to see if the painting is sold. If not, take it back. I have my own way."

  Li Baolu nodded.

  Gu Jingyun Jie Yuan in high school, Zhao Ning also in high school, the house they lived in suddenly became lively, and many people came to Hexi to make friends every day.

  Li Baolu closed her doors to thank guests after two days of coping. She would be exhausted just preparing refreshments and meals if she wanted to curry favor with them and go outside to entertain.

   Gu Jingyun also felt sorry for her, and dragged Zhao Ning out. If you want to make friends with him, you can come out.

  Li Baolu felt relieved and went to Gu Fangzhai to see the paintings she was selling.

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

  Li Baolu has been flattered a lot these past two days, and she wondered, does even Gu Fangzhai's staff know that she is Mrs. Xie Yuan?

   "Madam, your painting is sold!"

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

"I'm selling the immortals going to the sea, according to the price you set, one thousand taels!" The man said happily: "But I think the guest officer is more satisfied with your Qiongzhou sunrise map, but unfortunately your price is too high, the guest The official was a little hesitant. If Madam is willing to lower the price, maybe 5,000 taels can be sold. Even famous paintings are not worth this price, Madam is really lucky."

   "Since one has been sold, I will not sell the remaining one. Let's settle the bill."

   The guy stayed for a while, "Madam doesn't think about it anymore? The price of 100,000 taels is too high. In fact, from a small point of view, 5,000 taels is a very good price."

  Li Baolu shook her head. She originally used the Qiongzhou sunrise map to complement the immortals going out to sea.

   Seeing Li Baolu's insistence, the man could only pursed his lips unwillingly, while collecting the paintings still hanging on the wall and handing them to Li Baolu, he paid her the bill.

   He wanted to take a 100 taels rake, plus a daily storage fee of one tael for the Qiongzhou sunrise map, and finally give Li Baolu 890 taels.

Because the paintings she brought were sold at high prices, the man did not dare to offend her. Although he was unwilling, he still happily sent the people away. Before leaving, he repeatedly asked, "If Madam wants to sell paintings, just come to us, all of Guangzhou. The price of our store is the most reasonable in the city.”

  Li Baolu nodded, thought about it and asked, "Can you please tell me who the person who bought the painting is?"

   The man smiled and said, "It's not a secret. The one who bought the painting was Mr. He from the Bora number. I heard that he was going to give it to a noble person. The painting that Mrs. brought was very good, and Mr. He immediately took a fancy to it."
