After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 276 Huiyuan
After hearing this, Xie Xingchuan couldn't help but think that if he really stayed at home, he would never feel at ease.

I had been away from home for a few days, but my family didn't send anyone to look for me.

Old Man Gu suddenly looked straight at Xie Xingchuan.

Niuniu pulled Xie Xingchuan to her grandfather's side and said in a crisp voice, "Grandpa, this is Brother Xingchuan. He will be your grandson in the future."

Old Man Gu reached out to touch Xie Xingchuan's hair, but Xie Xingchuan was too tall.

Xie Xingchuan bent down and finally succeeded in letting the old man touch his hair.

"My dear grandson... He's my dear grandson..." Old Man Gu said vaguely.

Xie Xingchuan lived nearby, and he felt relieved when he heard this. It is always a happy thing to be accepted by others when arriving in a new place.

Father Gu suddenly said, "Two Xuans... Two good grandchildren..."

Zhang Yuniang and Gu Mingda were both stunned when they heard this.

Their second son happened to have two whorls on his head.

Zhang Yunniang almost cried, but she still tried to explain to Old Man Gu: "This is Xingchuan. He may have two swirls on his head, just like the second kid..."

When Father Gu heard this, his eyes were still cloudy, but he said: "The wine recipe... I promised the second boy... I will give him the wine recipe..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Mingda looked at Old Lady Gu in confusion.

Old Mrs. Gu wiped away her tears and said, "Back then, your father was joking with the second boy, who was only two years old. Your father asked him if he liked wine. The second boy said yes, so your father said he would give him the recipe for yellow rice wine in the future. I didn't expect that after so many years, your father still remembered it."

Seeing the Gu family talking about things they didn't understand, Xie Xingchuan felt isolated. He was also afraid that his arrival would bring up the Gu family's sad memories.

Niuniu suddenly said, "Brother Xie has two swirls just like my second brother. When Brother Xie came, Grandpa became much more sober. Brother Xie helped us a lot."

Niu Niu was not deliberately trying to help Xie Xingchuan out, but she really thought so.

The other people in the Gu family didn't notice that Old Man Gu was more sober than usual, but after Niuniu's reminder, they realized belatedly that their actions just now might have made Xie Xingchuan uncomfortable.

The topic returned to Xie Xingchuan. Mrs. Gu suddenly remembered something and said, "Now that Xingchuan has moved in, won't his newly bought house be empty? There are all new items in it. It would be a pity to leave it there. It's better to rent it out!"

Old Mrs. Gu is the person in the family who hates to see money dropped on the ground without picking it up, so it’s no wonder that she was the first one to think of renting a house.

Xie Xingchuan was unwilling to do so, because he always felt that he could not stay in the Gu family for long.

But old lady Gu was quick-witted and said, "Long-term rentals earn more, short-term rentals earn less, and if you don't rent, you don't earn anything. Money is something that never hurts, no matter how much you have. Good boy, listen to grandma, grandma won't hurt you!"

Xie Xingchuan wanted to refuse, but after hearing how Mrs. Gu acted like one of her own and was genuinely concerned about him, he found it hard to say no.

Niuniu also said, "Brother, grandma is right. It's a pity to leave it empty. We can earn some money to buy delicious food!"

Xie Xingchuan stopped refusing after hearing this. He didn't have much money on hand now. Since he was Niuniu's brother, he had to give money to buy snacks for his sister...

The Gu family was talking in the house when someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Shen Changfeng rushed in in a hurry: "Master, Master! We agreed to meet at the place where the results were announced, why didn't you go?" Gu Mingda didn't sleep well that night, and had an extremely difficult breakfast in the morning. His mind was groggy and he didn't expect to have forgotten this section. He immediately said to Shen Changfeng: "It's my fault. I was busy and forgot. I'm sorry."

When Shen Changfeng heard his master's sincere apology, he was stunned. He thought of his father, Shen Fushan, who would stick his neck out and refuse to admit his mistakes no matter how badly he made them. He still remembered that when he was a child, his father blamed all the mistakes on him.

Only then did he realize that it was normal for elders to admit their mistakes.

Shen Fushan has been ill these days and refuses to see anyone except Shen Changjun.

Shen Changfeng was too lazy to meet Shen Fushan, thinking that it would be better for the father and son not to see each other.

"It's okay, it's okay, Master. I have good news for you! Master got the top spot in the imperial examination! Master! Master, the champion!" Shen Changfeng said with a smile.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Gu family stood up excitedly.

Xie Xingchuan realized belatedly that today was the day when the results were announced. Gu Mingda was so busy taking care of himself last night that he completely forgot about such a big thing.

"Really? Changfeng, did you really see it clearly? My son really got the top spot in the high school entrance examination?" Old Mrs. Gu grabbed Shen Changfeng and asked.

Shen Changfeng nodded vigorously and said, "Grandma Gu, don't worry, I saw it clearly. I may not recognize the other difficult characters, but how could I have read the master's name wrong? It is clearly written above, Master Gu Mingda from Qingshui Village, Guang'an County!"

When Mrs. Gu heard such affirmative words, she was truly happy. The tears that had just stopped came out again: "Thank God, my son finally got into high school! I knew that my son is a capable person and will definitely get into high school!"

Zhang Yuniang also started crying.

They understand Gu Mingda's pain better than anyone else.

Gu Mingda has been known as a child prodigy since he started school. Every teacher praised him as a good student. However, he wasted more than ten years preparing to pass the imperial examination and was always ridiculed by others.

Gu Mingda himself was a little stunned. He had actually prepared himself for the exam several times, and he felt that his answers this time were not perfect, but he still won the first place in the examination.

He actually had a feeling that he had paid very little, but the gains were unexpectedly rich.

At this moment, the official who came to announce the good news arrived and shouted loudly outside the house:

"Congratulations to Mr. Gu from your noble family for winning the first place in the imperial examination!"

The officer said it three times.

The neighbors on all sides could hear it clearly, and all the neighbors in the entire alley ran out.

Gu Mingda's long-time attendant Qi Dashan took out the firecrackers he had prepared long ago and set them off.

Zhang Yunniang also had someone seal a thick silver envelope as a reward to the official. The official felt the thickness of the silver and began to praise him as if he was giving it for free.

Neighbors also ran up to say auspicious words.

"Madam Gu, you are so lucky. You have never lacked money to begin with. Now Mr. Gu has won the first place in the imperial examination. You will soon become the wife of an official."

The neighbors are all ordinary people. It is rare for an official to appear, so naturally they will praise him.

At this time, a circle of old ladies from the alley also gathered around Old Lady Gu: "From now on, we can't call you Big Sister anymore. We have to call you Old Lady Gu. Now that you have become an old lady, will you still go to Li Yaren to help in the future?"
