Chapter 59： Waiting for the results to be released

Chapter 59 Waiting for the release of the list

Mr. Chen also remembered this person. In the first exam, he didn’t have to read other people’s papers, but he had to look at the top paper. At this time, he couldn’t help but sigh: “I felt that this person was very talented in the first exam. Looking at the second game now, he is really an incredible talent.”

Gu Mingda's talent was recognized by others and they all nodded after hearing this.

Mr. Chen then said: "This person has great talent. If there is no better one in the later papers, I would like to put him at the top of the list for this exam. What do you think?"

The chief examiner has already spoken, and the other deputy examiners will not speak out and be this evil person. Besides, Gu Mingda's answer sheet is indeed well written, and this case is worthy of its name.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when the results were released, and the yard of Mrs. Qian's house was empty early in the morning.

No matter how busy the housewife is, on this day, she will accompany her husband to look at the results outside the Yamen.

The five members of the Gu family, together with Liu Xiaoru, saw a sea of ​​people gathering under the yamen before they arrived at the yamen gate.

"Dad, are you taking the exam with so many people?" Niu Niu suddenly asked.

Gu Mingda was stunned when he heard this, and explained: "There were two thousand candidates in the first examination, six hundred candidates in the second examination, and three hundred candidates in the final examination."

Niu Niu's eyes widened and she said, "Daddy is so awesome. He beat the 1,400 people in front of him. No, daddy came first in the first game, which means he won 2,000 people!"

Gu Mingda was a little surprised and praised: "Niuniu, just because you came first in the first exam, it doesn't mean you can also be first in the second exam. It can't be calculated like that."

When Niu Niu heard this, she was about to say that she had already discussed with the white-bearded old man about the first place, but then she thought about it, and her father didn't like her making random wishes, so she didn't mention it and just said: "Anyway, my father's first game is First place, in Niu Niu’s heart, dad is the most powerful.”

Gu Mingda nodded her beautiful little nose and said, "Niuniu's arithmetic is so good. Daddy borrowed Niuniu's good words and hoped to be on the list today."

Niu Niu was a little proud, but she still said: "This kind of arithmetic can only be done by children, so it means nothing."

Gu Zhao, who was on the side, his eyes widened when he heard this, and asked: "When did dad win 1,400 people, and when did he win 2,000 people? What arithmetic? What is the calculation?"

Everyone couldn't help but feel a little amused when they saw that Gu Zhao not only couldn't calculate, but also couldn't understand the questions.

Gu Yan has always been a careful and considerate elder brother, so he took Gu Zhao and explained to him in detail.

Gu Yan explained it three times before Gu Zhao finally understood. He didn't have any jealousy towards his sister's intelligence. He just touched the back of his head and said naively: "My sister is also very powerful."

The more anxious the candidates wait, the slower and slower the results are released.

"What's going on with the people in the yamen today? Why haven't they released the results even at this time? Have they all overslept?" Someone couldn't help complaining.

Coincidentally, as soon as this man finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion ahead.

"The list is released, the list is released!"

Hearing this sound, everyone around them squeezed forward.

Several children from the Gu family also wanted to squeeze in, but they were pulled back by Gu Mingda and Zhang Yunniang.

"There are many people, be careful of being trampled." Liu Xiaoru warned loudly. At the first moment of the crowd's commotion, she focused her eyes on Niuniu and Zhang Yunniang.

Liu Xiaoru immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zhang Yunniang holding Niu Niu and hiding behind her.

It seems easier to retreat than to push forward.

The whole family looked at the crowds of people on the street who were still pushing forward, and looked at the humming heads, and even felt like they were surviving a disaster.

"Niuniu, how are you? No injuries, right?" Zhang Yunniang looked at Niuniu up and down.

When she was just squeezing out, she seemed to hear Niu Niu shouting.

Niu Niu shook her head and said, "Mom, I don't know who pulled my hair just now."

Zhang Yunniang looked at the top of Niu Niu's head again. The amount of hair seemed to have not changed, but two red ropes were missing from her head.

Because Gu Mingda bought six red headbands, Zhang Yunniang didn't mind the hard work these days, and tied six little knots on her head every day. Liu Xiaoru also remembered Niu Niu’s hairstyle and cursed on the spot: “Who is so petty that he would even **** a child’s red headband and not be afraid of tripping over stones while walking!”

Zhang Yunniang was originally very angry, but seeing Liu Xiaoru become so angry, she quickly comforted her and said, "I lost two and there are four more. As long as the child is not seriously injured, it is a trivial matter."

Zhang Yunniang took out a small comb from her arms and combed Niu Niu's hair again.

Niu Niu clung to her arms obediently, looking very well-behaved as she remained motionless.

"Wow-"

Gu Zhao suddenly started crying.

Everyone looked at him with worried expressions.

"My purse was touched, it was the one my mother made for me!" Gu Zhao cried.

Gu Mingda sighed and said: "Every time the rankings are released, there are always some unscrupulous people who fish in troubled waters. I didn't expect that this time they are particularly unscrupulous and even steal from children."

Seeing Gu Zhao being so sad, Zhang Yuniang's heart softened and she comforted her younger son and said, "I lost this one. I'll make another one for you later when I have time."

Gu Zhao was still crying hard and said: "I lost everything else in my purse, but my favorite General Jin! He hasn't been with me for a few days, but he was touched like this! Woohoo!"

Zhang Yuniang suddenly felt that the emotion in her heart had faded away like a tide, and she felt choked up.

Liu Xiaoru was confused and asked: "Sister, what is General Jin?"

Zhang Yunniang said angrily: "The cricket he raised makes people's heads hurt every day!"

Gu Zhao was unconvinced when he heard this and said: "General Jin is the best cricket. He is obedient. Mother, please don't say that to him!"

Zhang Yunniang was too lazy to pay attention to him, and turned her head to concentrate on combing her daughter's hair.

The thieves who were mixed in the crowd took advantage of the chaos of the announcement to touch many people's pockets and struggled to squeeze out of the crowd with many things in their arms.

"Two red ropes, just in time to go back and coax the little girl." The thief thought so, took two steps forward, and suddenly fell to the ground uncontrollably. His head hit the ground, leaving a big cut.

The thief got up from the ground and immediately yelled: "Unlucky you, why is there a stumbling block hidden in the grass!"

If Gu Mingda were here, he would probably find the stone hidden in the grass very familiar.

The thief reached out and felt blood on his forehead. He didn't dare to stay here and hurried towards the corner.

"Seven...eight, nine purses! Make a fortune!"

The thief counted his achievements and poured the contents of his purse out one after another.

But the more he fell, the uglier his face became.

"What the hell, just such a small amount of money?"

Several of them had only a few coins in their purses, so they were extremely poor.

"This is the last purse. It's full. There must be a lot of good things in it!"

The thief opened the last purse with excitement.

The next second, more than a dozen crickets jumped out of the purse. He was so close that one of them jumped directly into his mouth.

The thief cursed again: "Bah, bah, bah! What normal person would do such immoral things without carrying money in his pocket?"

First update.
