Chapter 906
906 Chapter 906-drunk
After the parade, it was time to attend the Qionglin banquet, which the Imperial court had specially organized for this batch of scholars.
The Emperor was very satisfied with the three of them, so even if Duke Rong wanted to use his connections to suppress Gu shouxin and the money and grain that had provoked Li Shan a few days ago, it would be useless. They would only be admitted to the Hanlin Academy.
Some of the second and third rankers would stay in the capital, while others would be sent to other places.
These were matters of the Ministry of official personnel affairs, and the Emperor usually did not ask.
As for her third uncle, with the help of the Huo family, he was ranked very low and stayed in the capital.
Third uncle had never thought that one day, he would become an official of the capital, and even enter a place like the Hanlin Academy. This was the dream of many students!
He was so happy that he got drunk at the Qionglin banquet.
The two of them then headed home in Huo Junhao’s car.
In the car, Huo Junhao looked at his drunk third uncle and thought of fourth uncle Gu’s wedding last year. He could not help but think of Xue Qianyu. “AI, I don’t know where second brother Xue went! I didn’t even meet him in the capital. My uncle said that the Emperor probably sent him to do something important.”
Gu shouxin smiled. In the first half of the year, that kid went to Qingzhou, but he didn’t even see him. Probably even Lu Zheng didn’t know where he went.
What important matter did this silly Emperor have for him to do?
Huo Junhao thought of something and his face scrunched up. “I’m so angry! I originally wanted to be second, but I didn’t expect to be third now! Second uncle, you saw that he has a lot of money and grain, right? he’s so silly, so what right do you think he has to be the second place?”
“There are many talents in Jiangnan!” Gu shouxin laughed.
Huo Junhao: ” I’ve been busy dealing with the top scorer from the other prefectures in the South of the Yangtze River. There’s a lot of money and food here. I didn’t expect it to be so sinister. You’re still hiding your strength! I’m so angry! In the future, I’ll definitely fight him for 300 rounds in the referee!”
“As long as you’re happy!”
When they were almost at the entrance of the Gu family mansion, Huo Junhao asked again, ” “By the way, second uncle, are Grandpa and Grandma Gu already on their way? I haven’t seen en ‘Zi in a long time. Hehe, I’m going to tease him a little. Even if he takes the exam next year and passes all the tests, he won’t be able to pass the Tanhua test at my age.”
Gu shouxin was a little speechless,”yes, on the way.” I think he’ll arrive at the beginning of October.”
Huo Junhao mumbled to himself for a while more before the carriage arrived home.
Gu shouxin supported his third uncle and didn’t immediately enter the house. After watching the Huo family’s carriage leave, he thought for a moment, then put his third uncle against the wall and leaned against it himself.
“Father, third uncle! Why didn’t you guys knock! If mother didn’t let me come out to take a look, how long would you have to endure the cold wind?” Gu Xin smelled alcohol the moment she ran out and asked the gatekeeper to inform Cai Xiaolian.
Gu Xin couldn’t handle two adults on her own, so she could only nag at them and wait for them to come and help her.
Third uncle was helped back to his room, but Gu shouxin didn’t let anyone help him, and kept talking about little Lian.
Cai Xiaolian rushed over. “Little Lian, I’m drunk!” Gu shouxin suddenly hugged her.
Cai Xiaolian,”Yingluo, you’re drunk, so what?” How much wine is this, enough to make you drunk?”
Gu shouxin laughed foolishly, leaning on Cai Xiaolian and walking in with difficulty.
Gu Xin wanted to help support her.
Gu shouxin pushed her and said,”you brat, go to sleep!” If you don’t go to sleep, I’ll add eight sandbags to your bags tomorrow!”
Gu Xin was speechless.
Gu Hui quietly pulled Gu Xin back to her own courtyard.
Gu Xin was still feeling depressed when Bai Yi suddenly appeared with a letter from LU Zheng.
She read the letter happily and stopped thinking about her father’s unreasonable drunk behavior.
