Chapter 719

   When the servants left, Butler Lin had two baskets of copper coins carried to the doorman.

   It is certain that the eldest son is in the middle. The key is only to see the ranking, so he had people prepare money and red envelopes early.

   The servants of the Duke's Mansion soon arrived at the place where the list was posted. A few people stood in front of the shed of Zhangbang, waiting with their heads raised. At this time, it was still dark, and many of the young servants who were waiting to see the list were holding lanterns.

   There is a fence in front of the shed of Zhang Bang. When the ranking is posted, officers and soldiers will maintain order. This is to prevent crowds from crowding into the ranking.

  Du Ruo and a few servants of Jiang Youzhi huddled in the crowd, looking in the direction of Gongyuan not far away.

   The sky is getting brighter and more and more people are on the street.

   The sound of drums was gradually heard in the distance. The people around seemed to be pinching their necks and looked into the distance. Many people were shouting excitedly, "Come here!"

  The crowd squeezed to both sides, leaving a road in the middle.

   Soon I saw a group of officers approaching.

   In front were suona players and drummers, followed by two police officers in the back carrying something like a pavilion made of yellow silk.

   In the middle of the pavilion, there is a red list about to be posted.

  The officers opened the fence and carefully took out the red banner from the yellow silk pavilion.

  One of the officers painted the paste on the wall, and the other two opened the red list and pasted it carefully.

  In an instant, countless people crowded in front of the fence, and a few servants from the Guogong's mansion stood at the front, holding hands so that they were not overwhelmed by those people.

   At this time, it was bright.

  Du Ruo's eyes fell on the top of the list, he felt that the name of his little father-in-law should be in this place.

   didn't disappoint him, the first position on the red list was written with the words Jiang Youzhi.

  Du Ruo exclaimed excitedly, "I've won, my little father-in-law won the first name Jie Yuan!"

   A few servants squeezed out together again. The horses they rode were still far away, so they had to hurry back to report.

   It was easy to squeeze out from the most densely crowded places. On the streets and in the alleys, there were still a steady stream of people rushing here.

  Although only 70 candidates were selected in total, there are thousands of scholars who can be referred to. They and their families and relatives also come to watch the list, and the nearby streets are full of water.

  Du Ruo and the others squeezed out and ran to the place where the horse was tied, leaving a servant here to watch the horse.

   The little servant asked, "Has the Shizi been hit?"

  Du Ruofei got on the horse, "Our lord is the first name Jie Yuan!" After saying that, a whip hit the horse's buttocks, and the horse galloped away.

   Butler Lin is waiting for news here at the concierge.

   Seeing several horses rushing towards him from a distance, Steward Lin stretched his neck, and before Du Ruo got off his horse, he shouted, "Master Shizi won the first name Jie Yuan!"

   Butler Lin was overjoyed, turned around and ran in, his left foot almost stumbled over his right foot, he staggered, he quickly stabilized his body and ran in.

   This kind of good news, of course, must be reported to the grandfather and his wife in person.

  Du Ruo came in and got off the horse, and ran to Jiang Youzhi's yard.

   Jiang Youzhi and Gu Yunjiao just got up, Gu Yunjiao was combing her hair in front of the mirror, and Jiang Youzhi was practicing swordsmanship in the yard.

  Du Ruo entered the door and saluted first, and then said loudly: "Congratulations, Shizi, you won the first name Jie Yuan in this township examination."

  The sword in Jiang Youzhi's hand didn't stop, he just said, "Got it."

   He knows his own level well, it is normal to be in Jieyuan, if not, it is abnormal.

  In the room, Gu Yunjiao heard Du Ruo's shout, but she ran out excitedly, "Have you won? The first name is Jie Yuan?"
