Chapter 199 Watching the Horse Parade
Chapter 199 Watching the Horse Parade
As expected, when the results were announced, Lin Wulang and the others sat in the hall waiting for the servants to come and take a look at the list.
Gu Yao didn't go, after all, she still had to be on duty.
She didn't have a day off when the results were announced, but luckily Xiaoshu and the others had arranged for people to check it out, and they would tell her when there was any news.
Gu Xiaoshu looked at Lin Wulang's calm expression and asked: "Madam, aren't you worried that my cousins won't pass the exam?"
Gu Xiaoshu has been with Gu Yao for many years and already has a family and a career, so she and Gu Yao are like friends and neither of them hides anything they say.
Gu Yao looked at the book and said, "What's the big deal? If you can pass the exam, then take it. If you can't, just try harder next time. Anyway, I'm not too worried. Besides, both of them are good at studying. If they can pass the exam, they will definitely be on the list."
Gu Xiaoshu admired Gu Yao very much, so he naturally thought that what she said was right.
"If he passes the exam, our eldest and third young masters will definitely be even happier."
"I hope I can pass the exam, so that I can live up to their expectations."
But she knew that Lin Wulang had not slept well since the exam, and he would be disappointed if he failed.
Sure enough, at noon, the servants finally came to report that both Lin Ye’s students had passed the exam, one ranked 30th and the other 40th.
Gu Yao looked at Lin Ye's name at the front and said with a smile: "As expected, Ah Ye's knowledge is stronger. He ranked below 30. If he can score higher in the palace examination, he will definitely be in the first place."
She also hoped that the two of them could get into the first class. It would definitely be better if they got into the first class. It would also be easier to arrange work for the Hanlin Academy.
When Gu Yao returned, Lin Wulang saw me and hurried to her side, his voice was very excited, "My dear wife, do you know that Ah Ye and Ah Meng have passed the exam, and their rankings are pretty good. Now as long as they pass the palace examination, they can become officials."
Lin Wulang felt that he had good vision as he betrothed Lin Ye to his son. He was excited to think that his son could become an official or a royal husband in the future.
Gu Yao saw that Lin Wulang's face was very rosy and even his eyes were very gentle. He looked at Gu Yao even more gently.
"Both children passed the exam, both are doing very well. The mansion will give them three more months of monthly allowance to celebrate. It seems that they are both doing very well and have made great efforts in this spring exam."
Gu Yao thought that my vision was quite good. Both juniors got good marks in the exam.
"Oh, send some things to Ah Ye. She has been working hard these past few days, and so has Ah Ning. Now they are the only two masters here, so we have to take good care of them."
Cong Meng will definitely stay in Beijing now, after all, she won a place.
And he would definitely have to work after passing the palace examination, so Gu Yao was worried that there would be some chaos over there.
Lin Wulang knew that Gu Yao cared a lot about the child, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've made all the preparations. I will definitely not let Aning fail. I've even asked Ding Miao to bring a few housekeepers to help him."
Although Cong Meng and his family are married, they are only in their teens. If there are too many things to do, they will definitely not be able to cope with it. It would be better for them to ask the Gu family for help, so that they will have some peace and quiet.
Furthermore, Gu Ning is pregnant now, and Gu Yao is worried that his body won't be able to handle it.
"Let the doctor come to visit more often. You can't let him get tired while you're pregnant."
Thinking of Gu Ning's child, Lin Wulang smiled happily: "I didn't expect him to get pregnant so soon. That's great. If it's a daughter, he will have a firm foothold in the family."
Gu Yao listened to his words but didn't say anything. After all, having a daughter is really good.
What's more, after Gu Ning married into the Gu family, he didn't behave filially in front of his parents, so he was worried that others would gossip about him.
She scoffed at these things, but these were the rules and human relations after all.
So I also try my best to take care of Cong Meng, so that the Cong family will also support Gu Ning for her sake.
Fortunately, her official position is higher than that of my cousin, and my two daughters are also gradually becoming officials.
I believe that with the efforts of the Gu family, the children of the Gu family will live a good life.
The next day after the celebration, they began to prepare for the palace examination. They still had to review and discuss their lessons more, after all, the palace examination was very important.
Although their ranking is still okay, it doesn't mean they can rest on their laurels.
In some dynasties, even if you ranked first in the exam, if you displeased the emperor in the palace examination, you would still be reduced to a Tongjinshi, or even unable to be an official again, so they were also very nervous.
It was when Gu Yao was busy in the Ministry of Industry that she heard that Lin Ye and the other two had become merchants.
Although they didn't make it into the top three, it was already very good for them.
On the day of the horse-riding parade, Lin Wulang had already booked a private room in a restaurant and brought all his children to watch the parade.
"Yue'er, look, that's Ah Ye. I didn't expect him to look so good in the imperial scholar's uniform."
Gu Yue secretly looked at her in the red dress which made her look even more beautiful.
"Third brother, I didn't expect Lin Ye to look so good in red clothes. Congratulations. I am now a Jinshi and will be an official in the future. If you marry him, you will enjoy a happy life."
Gu Xing has figured it out. He doesn't like Lin Ye anyway, and his mother will find him a good wife. There is no need for him to be jealous of others.
Gu Yue said shyly: "It's too early to get married. It's my second brother who will get married first. I will definitely give you something good when the time comes."
The children in their Gu family all have a good relationship with each other, especially the boys. After all, they study and chat together all day long, so it is quite interesting to see them joking around with each other.
Gu Yao attaches great importance to the feelings of her children, so if anyone plays tricks or engages in intrigue, she will definitely punish them.
Gu Yao had seen some of the backyard fights before. The brothers of the Key family had no feelings. This family would fall apart sooner or later.
She also made herself fair. Even if a girl made a mistake, she would still be punished, and girls in the family were never allowed to bully boys.
Although there would be arguments, they were harmless and Gu Yao would just turn a blind eye.
How can a person be without selfishness? Just like Lin Wulang this time, no matter how much he likes Gu Xing, he will stand on his son's side if he meets a good person. This is also reasonable.
After watching the horse-riding parade for a while, the Gu family was in a good mood, especially Gu Xing, who said with a smile: "I didn't expect the wife of the third place scholar to be so pretty, but the wife of the first place scholar is also good, both are handsome, I wonder if they are married yet."
Gu An smiled and said, "They must have gotten married, after all, they are already so old. But I think even if they haven't gotten married, they must have been engaged. After all, someone with such great talent and learning would have been engaged a long time ago."
"Don't worry, Third Brother. I will keep an eye out for you when the time comes. If I meet a good lady, I will definitely tell you."
Gu Xing was a little anxious and a little shy: "Fourth brother, what are you talking about? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up."
Although the Gu family ranks boys and girls separately, Gu An is still younger than Gu Xing.
