"Really? Second Young Master Gu really said that he would enter the palace and ask to marry the princess when he is named on the gold medal list?"
"Second Young Master Gu even drew the pattern himself and gave it to the princess as a hairpin?"
"So the princess just went in to try on hairpins, right?"
After Xichun finished speaking, the three of them were surprised.
"Then let's go in quickly. I also want to see what this hairpin looks like." Lian Qiu said excitedly.
"Yes, yes, let's go." The next second the four of them entered the palace.
In the dormitory, Lin Sui sat in front of the dressing table, facing the mirror, holding a hairpin and gesturing on his head, with a smile on his face.
"Princess, this hairpin is so beautiful." Nian Xia said with a smile.
"Princess, where did you buy this hairpin? It's so beautiful. Next time I leave the palace, I will go to that shop." Lian Qiu teased.
"You can't buy this hairpin. It was painted by Mr. Gu himself." Xichun joked.
"Hehehehehe" the four of them laughed.
"Okay, how dare you make fun of this princess." Lin Sui blushed, turned around and pretended to be angry.
"Princess and slaves are wrong, don't be angry." The four said with a smile.
"Princess, your hairpin fits that green dress." Fodong said as he took the dress over.
"Really, let me give it a try." Lin Sui stood up, and the other three quickly stepped forward.
After changing it, Lin Sui took a closer look in the mirror and found that it really fit.
"Princess, you are so beautiful. This hairpin is particularly suitable for you. This second young master Gu is really discerning."
"Yes, princess, why don't you wear this the next time you see Mr. Gu again?"
"If you put on the hairpin again, you will definitely be able to charm the second young master Gu."
The four of them praised.
Lin Sui looked at herself in the mirror, touched the hairpin again, and said in a good mood, "Everyone is rewarded!"
"Thank you, princess~" the four of them bowed and said happily.
There is constant laughter and laughter here.
On the other side, in the imperial study room, Eleven had just finished telling the emperor what happened today.
"Okay, you did a good job this time, and you will be rewarded." The emperor said slowly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Eleven stepped away.
The emperor closed his eyes and tapped his fingers slowly on the table.
If Gu Er can be named on the gold medal list, my pearl can be betrothed to him. However, I have to choose the wedding date carefully. It is best to choose a later one...
Gu Mansion.
Gu Jing told his father and his mother what happened today. After hearing this, his mother quickly gave instructions.
"Then you have to study hard. Now that I've said it, if you don't make the list, your father won't be able to help you."
"Don't worry, mother, I know what I'm doing," Gu Jing said confidently.
"Well, you just have to count. I'll be waiting for good news for you in a month." Gu's father said assuredly.
For the next month, Gu Jing stayed in the study all day long, studying, and Gu's mother made different soups for him every day.
In the palace, Lin Sui was counting his days on his fingers every day, looking forward to the imperial examination coming soon.
One month later, the imperial examination came as scheduled.
In the Gu Mansion, the servants, under Gu's mother's instructions, systematically saluted Gu Jing as she prepared to enter the examination room.
"Jing'er, take the exam well and don't be nervous." Gu's mother said worriedly.
"Don't worry, he ended up when he was twelve, and now he is eighteen." Father Gu said helplessly from the side.
"Tsk, what do you know? This situation is about whether I can have a daughter-in-law!" Gu's mother glared at Gu's father, then turned to Gu Jing to express her greetings.
"Mom, don't worry, I'm leaving first."
"Hey, okay, okay, go quickly before it's too late." Gu's mother nodded.
Gu Jing walked out the door, and Yuan Le followed behind with his luggage.
After Gu Jing went out, Gu's mother turned around and left.
"Yunniang, where are you going?" Father Gu asked.
"I'm going to the ancestral hall to ask our ancestors to bless us, Jing'er, to be named on the gold medal list." Gu's mother left a few words and left.
In the palace, Lin Sui rarely went to the Queen's Buddhist Hall. During the three days of the examination, she went to the Buddhist Hall to pray every day.
Three days later, Gu Jing came out of the examination room.
Yuan Le and Yuan Kang had been waiting outside the door early.
As soon as he saw Gu Jing, Yuan Le waved quickly.
"Master, Master! Here!"
After Gu Jing saw it, she walked towards them.
"Master, the master and his wife have been waiting for you at the mansion for a long time. Let's go back quickly."
"Yeah." Three days of exams made Gu Jing a little tired.
Back at Gu Mansion, Gu's mother hurriedly greeted her.
"Come on, come on, go back to your room and rest first. Mom has asked someone to prepare water. You should take a nap after washing up. You must not have slept long in the examination room."
"I know, mother, please stop being busy and just let the servants go." Gu Jing raised her hand to hold down Gu's mother who was about to go back with him.
"That's okay, Yuan Kang takes good care of the young master." Gu's mother asked.
"Yes, ma'am." Yuanyasu responded.
Gu Jing returned to the yard, took a pleasant bath, and then went to bed.
After a deep sleep, Gu Jing woke up and it was already dark.
It was already past dinner time in the Gu Mansion, but Gu's mother had already ordered the kitchen to wait, and as soon as Gu Jing woke up, she brought dinner.
After passing the exam, Gu's mother still went to the ancestral hall every day until the results were announced.
On the day when the results were released, Yuan Le went out early in the morning without Gu Jing's instructions. I grabbed a front seat and waited for the announcement.
Lin Sui walked around the palace, waiting for news of the announcement.
An hour later, the person who released the list came.
The crowd suddenly became lively.
"Quickly show me, is our young master on the list?"
"Mr. sir! Look, sir, your name is on the list!"
"I passed the exam! I passed the exam! Hahahaha!"
"Why is my name not there! Alas, this is the third time I have been dismissed. I failed the exam and have no choice but to go home and farm."
"Our young master has passed the exam! Our young master is in third place! Hahahaha!" A boy squeezed out of the crowd excitedly.
"What? Who? Which young master came third in the exam!"
"He seems to be a servant of the Gu family."
"That must be Yuan Le, the young man next to Princess Gu Er."
"So, the second young master of the Gu family ranked third in the exam?"
"By the way, Master Gu is not married yet, right? I wonder if my daughter will have a chance."
"The first place is Mr. Xu from Duke Xu's Mansion, but who is the second place? I have never heard of him?"
"That is Jieyuan Lufa from Jiangzhou. He is very famous in Jiangzhou and is also a talented man."
There was a lot of discussion before the results were released.
Yuan Le shouted loudly as soon as he returned to Gu Mansion.
"Master, madam, young master, young master is the third one!"
"What, my son got third place in the exam!" Gu's mother said in surprise.
"Okay, okay! My son has won the title of Jinggui! There will be rewards, and there will be rewards in the whole government!" Gu's father said happily.
"Thank you, madam, congratulations to the second young master!" The servants congratulated one after another.
Gu Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he learned about his ranking. Although the original master was talented, he had only studied for a month and was still a little worried about the scientific examination. Now that he had a good ranking, Gu Jing was confident that he would be able to take the palace examination a month later. Get the flower.
