Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 175 was hit
The tea stall owner was right. About half an hour later, a commotion arose, and a group of people escorted several constables dressed in official robes, holding notices, as they approached.

"I'm coming!"

"Get out of my way!"

"Get out of the way, don't delay us."

"I wonder if they won this time?"

"Who is the chief investigator this time?"

Normally composed scholars, they were not as calm as usual, and each of them had a hint of impatience on their faces.

They all craned their necks, as if they had X-ray vision and could see the words inside.

The constables knew that the students were in a hurry, so they didn't waste any time and posted the notice directly.

"I won! I won! I won!"

"Brother Li from Qixian County has won!"

"I saw it! I saw that Brother Zhou from Wending County won!"

"And me? Has anyone seen my name?"

A group of people rushed forward, all standing on tiptoe to look inside.

Regardless of whether it was their own name or not, as long as they won the lottery, they would shout out the name as soon as they saw it.

Xu Qingmeng and the others sitting at the tea stall also looked over there. Zhou Yuanjia, who couldn't sit still, quickly got up and went over there when he heard people calling his name.

Gu Yunyi and Fang Ziheng didn't seem to be in a hurry, perhaps because they were both very confident in themselves, and they leisurely drank their tea.

"Aren't you curious?" Xu Qingmeng asked, raising an eyebrow.

"There's no use in being curious. If you win, you win; if you lose, you lose. It's the same whether you look sooner or later," Gu Yunyi said calmly.

“Brother Gu is right.”

Xu Qingmeng laughed, "If that's the case, then why come here? With so many people, we could have just waited at home."

"Exactly, I don't know who it is, lying in bed so early in the morning, tossing and turning, disturbing everyone's sleep," Hui Niang said, looking at Fang Ziheng who was sitting there calmly drinking tea.

"Ahem, I'll go take a look."

Fang Ziheng choked, but forced himself to remain calm and got up to walk towards the crowded people.

"Well, Brother Fang, I'll go with you."

Xu Qingmeng and Huiniang exchanged a smile.

Before the two had taken two steps, they heard a commotion ahead.

"The same name as the one at the beginning of the case, Brother Gu Yunyi from Quan County."

"From Quan County? This is the first time I've heard of this place. I'm not very familiar with the name. Does anyone recognize it?"

"I know, I know, he's a young master, and he's very handsome."

"From Quan County? Impressive! You even achieved the top three honors in the imperial examinations! Brother Gu, has Brother Gu arrived yet?"

People from Youquan County, upon hearing that it was Gu Yunyi, immediately started making a fuss.

While a "small three-dragon" (a rare combination of three top-tier medals) isn't as rare as a "big three-dragon," it's still a very rare occurrence.

The moment those three words were uttered, the students below the notice became even more excited.

Students from other counties, besides those from Quan County, were all asking who this top scholar was, and the students from Quan County were all very proud.

It recounts all sorts of things about Gu Yunyi, big and small, down to the smallest detail, even Gu Yunyi's marriage.

However, most of these claims are subjective, and in the current situation, it's simply a matter of boasting. Before long, various rumors about this new top scholar began circulating online.

Gu Yunyi and Fang Ziheng exchanged a glance, and Gu Yunyi said, "I'll be going now."

Gu Yunyi stopped walking forward and quickly turned to walk towards Xu Qingmeng, taking her hand and leading her into the courtyard.

"Brother Gu, Brother Fang, I passed! I passed! I passed! I saw yours and Brother Fang's too, Brother Fang is sixth, and you are the... Huh? Where did everyone go?"

Zhou Yuanjia finally squeezed out from under the crowded list, only to find that the tea stall was already empty.

After Gu Yunyi led Xu Qingmeng away, he turned his head and smiled, saying, "She really is the top scholar."

"Yes, I heard it. She won the top three prizes in the imperial examination! Mother will be so happy now." Xu Qingmeng imagined He Shi's expression upon hearing this, and knew she would be so excited that she would shed tears.

"Is your wife happy?" Gu Yunyi asked.

"Of course I'm happy."

Xu Qing dreamed that after the results were announced, she could return to Quan County, which naturally made her happy.

But when she turned her head, she saw an indescribable light shining in Gu Yunyi's eyes.

Only then did they realize what Gu Yunyi meant.

"Well, let's hurry back. We'll probably have someone come to deliver the good news soon. I don't know if we've prepared enough red envelopes." Xu Qingmeng quickened her pace considerably.

Gu Yunyi watched Xu Qingmeng's retreating figure and shook his head with amusement.

"Wife, slow down, you're still pregnant!"

Not long after the two returned, Zhou Yuanjia and Fang Ziheng also came back, and they felt very regretful that Gu Yunyi and Fang Ziheng had left first.

"Brother Gu, why are you leaving so quickly? Sister-in-law, you didn't see it, but there were so many people looking for you, including students from Quan County. They all said they would come to visit you later!"

Zhou Yuanjia would never admit that he said this with a gloating tone.

Xu Qingmeng was completely bewildered after hearing this. Now she not only had to prepare red envelopes, but also some tea, snacks, and fruits.

Making them is out of the question, and there aren't any of those prepared in the yard, so we'll have to buy them.

"Then I'll go buy some snacks and fruits. If anyone comes, remember to greet them. The red envelopes are all here."

After Xu Qingmeng finished speaking, she was about to leave when she said, "Don't go. Huiniang will probably be back soon."

"Then I'll go and meet them."

As soon as Xu Qingmeng reached the street corner, she saw Jiang Mingyu and Sun Jingyi coming towards her. Perhaps they had just finished reading the list of winners, as both of them still had happy expressions on their faces. It seemed that Jiang Mingyu had also won.

"Sister-in-law, what a coincidence." Jiang Mingyu was taken aback when he saw Xu Qingmeng, but then smiled and said, "I just saw that Brother Gu has won first place in the imperial examination. Congratulations!"

Sun Jingyi looked impatient, but didn't say anything.

Xu Qingmeng didn't even glance at her, and said with a light smile, "It seems that Young Master Jiang did well on the exam as well. Congratulations to you too."

"Just lucky, just lucky." Jiang Mingyu scratched his head. Seeing that they were heading towards the street, he figured they were going to buy something. He quickly said, "Sister-in-law, are you going to buy some snacks? Then we won't keep you waiting."

Xu Qingmeng nodded and then left.

Once the person was out of sight, Sun Jingyi let out a cold snort. The joy she had felt for her new head of the household vanished instantly.

He glared at Jiang Mingyu beside him and said, "What are you doing? You're always so humble. We're both scholars, what makes you any less capable than others?"

Jiang Mingyu still cared about his new wife, so he lowered his head and explained, "How is that being humble? Besides, Brother Gu is exceptionally talented, and this time he even passed the Junior Three Scholars exam. Although we are both scholars, he was first and you, my husband, were last. It's just out of respect."

Sun Jingyi came from a humble background and had no idea about these things.
