Chapter 174
After the exam results were announced, everyone had different expressions on their faces, some were elated, some were secretly sad, it could be said that some were happy and some were sad.Those who passed the exam generously threw money and rewards at the beggars, those who failed the exam sat on the ground crying emotionally, and there was a lot of noise outside the tribute courtyard, showing all kinds of life.

A total of 6000 gongshi were admitted in the general examination, but there were as many as [-] candidates who came to take the examination. Compared with the successful ones, being unnamed on the list is the state of most people.

And it is very rare for Gu Yunji and the others to be ranked first.What's more, they look quite young, with such outstanding talents, maybe they can get a good rank in the palace examination, and they will enter the Hanlin as a Beijing official in the future, and their official career will be magnanimous.

For a moment, everyone looked at them with envy.

"...without my name... I worked so hard, I worked hard early and late, how could I fail..."

Bai Xingjia's face was pale, his hands trembled violently, and he looked back and forth at the list of apricots posted on the wall with puffy eyes, but he couldn't find his name.Suddenly there was a bang in my head, I rolled my eyes, and passed out on the spot.

"Hey! Bai Xingjia! What's wrong with you!"

Gu Yunji, who was standing beside him, was startled when he saw this, and quickly supported his body, but Bai Xingjia, who was completely unconscious, fell down suddenly, so that he almost fell to the ground together.

Cheng Yan and the others were also taken aback, and hurried forward to help Gu Yunji slowly lay Bai Xingjia on the ground.

"Bai Xingjia, Bai Xingjia, wake up!" After calling several times in a row, Bai Xingjia still closed his eyes tightly, showing no sign of waking up.

Gu Yunxiao stretched out his hand to check his breath, and after feeling the weak air current, his solemn expression eased a little: "It should be due to the long-term excessive pressure that caused the stagnation in his chest, and he was not acclimatized since he came to Beijing. I haven't raised it well, so I couldn't bear the blow of failing the ranking and passed out."

As he said that, Gu Yunxiao sighed: "His situation is somewhat similar to me three years ago. He was so absorbed in the exam that he dragged his body down more and more. Once he found out that he had failed the exam, his whole body would collapse."

"It looks like he won't wake up for a while. There are so many people here that we can't squeeze out. It's not easy to carry him to the medical center. We still need to invite a doctor over."

Gu Yunji frowned, and looked at Xudong, "Xudong, you have fast legs and feet, so you can go."

"Hey." Xu Dong reflexively agreed, and was about to turn around and leave, as if thinking of something, he stopped in embarrassment, "Third young master, I am not familiar with the capital city, so I don't know where there is a medical center. Why don't you ask a passer-by?"

Gu Yunxiao stood up when he heard the words: "I know the way. There is Zhou's Medical Center two streets away from here. The doctors are not only skilled in medicine, but also gentle. I saw a doctor there three years ago. I will go with you go."

Gu Yunji nodded: "Okay, then Cheng Yan and I will wait for you to come back here."

Gu Yunxiao and Xudong didn't say much anymore, they turned and left immediately.But at this moment, there are quite a few people who are as anxious as they are to find a doctor, and they all walk in a hurry, it seems that Bai Xingjia's situation is not an exception.

There were many finely crushed stones on the ground outside the Gongyuan, which were extremely harsh. In order to make Bai Xingjia more comfortable, Cheng Yan supported his head with his hands to avoid landing directly on the ground.

Encountering an acquaintance failing to pass out, most of the joy in Cheng Yan's heart was diluted. Seeing Bai Xingjia's pale face, he said in a heavy tone, "Anyway, I'm from the same town. I still feel bad."

"It's always been like this in the imperial examinations. There are only so many places to be admitted. If someone gets the first place, someone will lose the first place." Seeing Cheng Yan's hand holding it hard, Gu Yunji simply took off his outer clothes, folded it into a cloth pillow and put it under Bai Xingjia's head, "Let's treat it with a normal heart , it is enough to do what you can.”

At this moment, Bai Xingjia's eyebrows and eyelashes trembled suddenly, and his lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but his voice was too weak to hear clearly.

Cheng Yan noticed his actions in time, and quickly bent down to listen: "What did you just say?"

"...water...I want to drink...water..." Bai Xingjia muttered, but his consciousness was still unclear.

"Water? Do you want water?" Cheng Yan looked up and looked around, his eyes were worried, "But where can we find water?"

Gu Yunji looked around, and then fell on a row of peddlers on the street: "There is a stall selling wontons, he should have water. You just look at him here, and I will be right back." After ordering this After the sentence, Gu Yunji trotted towards the street.

"Where are people? Where have they all gone? Why can't I find my son-in-law all of a sudden?" However, being pushed by the crowd a few times, Fan Fushang only dazzled a little, but he couldn't find where Cheng Yan was, and suddenly became anxious. And angry.

Hearing this, the attendant stretched his neck quickly and followed his master to look for it.Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he pointed to a blue-clothed boy in front of the wonton stand and said, "Master, look! Is that him?"

"No servant, blue clothes... Yes, it's him!"

Fan Fushang squinted his eyes and looked at the boy for a while, affirming his judgment.He rubbed his hands excitedly, and ordered decisively to the followers behind him: "Come on, give it to me! Please 'invite' my uncle home!"

-

In Xu's residence, Xu Chengyu, who hadn't waited for a long time to announce the results of the list, couldn't sit still. He waved for someone and asked, "Have Yun Ji and the others sent someone over yet?"

The attendant shook his head: "Go back to the master, not yet."

Xu Chengyu said again: "Where is the Gong Yuan? Any news?"

The attendant said: "I have sent someone to look at it, but I haven't come back yet."

Xu Chengyu had no choice but to suppress the urgency in his heart when he heard the words, and sat back on the chair again.

Xu Shuhua comforted: "Father, don't worry, Mr. Gu and the others have said before that if they win, they will definitely send someone to pass the news. It hasn't been long since the list is released. I think it is inconvenient for the members of the Gongyuan to read more lists. Wait a little longer and say Maybe someone is already on the way."

Although Xu Shuhua was reserved and calm on the face, in fact, he had twisted the handkerchief in his hand a long time ago, his palms were covered with sweat, and he was no less nervous than Xu Chengyu.

"Master, good news!" "It's not good, master!" At this moment, two voices sounded from outside the house at the same time.

Xu Chengyu and Xu Shuhua's hearts tightened suddenly, and they all stood up from their chairs.

Looking at the two fellows in front of him who were also sweating profusely and out of breath, Xu Chengyu struggled for a moment, and looked at the one on the left first: "Tell me first, what good news?"

The boy on the left raised his eyebrows and said beamingly: "Master Gu and Mr. Cheng have both won! Mr. Gu is No. 1, and Mr. Cheng is No. 3!"

Xu Chengyu looked happy, and immediately laughed out loud: "Hahahahahaha! Good! Good! Both hit!"

Xu Shuhua loosened his fingers holding the handkerchief slightly, but the sadness in his eyes did not diminish, and he turned to look at the other servant: "Now tell me, what happened?"

The little servant had a bitter face, and his voice was anxious: "Go back to Mrs. Gu, Mr. Gu was kidnapped by a group of strong men on the street! Mr. Cheng and Mr. Gu are already chasing him, Mr. Gu, please think of a way!" !"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Shuhua's face turned pale in an instant.
