Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

The sun was getting higher and higher, and with the arrival of the officials who released the list, the crowd outside the tribute courtyard suddenly became commotion.

"Back back! Everyone back up a bit! You are all stuck here, how can we post the list?"

The officials pushed back the people who were blocking the courtyard wall one by one at the top of their voices, and then used their bodies as a barrier to block the crowd, leaving enough space for the companions who posted the list.

After the apricot list was posted, before the officials had time to evacuate, they were overwhelmed by the crowd who rushed up in an instant, and their ears were full of shouts:

"Let me see! Let me see! Where is my name?"

"Oh, don't squeeze, don't squeeze, my shoes are all trampled off! At least let me bend down to pick them up!"

"I won! Hahahahaha... Hey, no, I read it wrong, this is not my name! Then where is my name!"

……

Xudong's eyes were sharp, and he saw Gu Yunji's name on the list at once, and immediately shouted happily: "Third young master! You have won! No.1 in the first place!"

What?First No.1?He is the nephew of the chief examiner Gu Yuanhui, shouldn't it be reasonable to lower his ranking to avoid suspicion?How come it ranks so high?Gu Yunji was taken aback when he heard the words, and was about to stand on tiptoe to take a closer look, but was bumped by the rampage passer-by next to him and almost fell off.

Before he could stabilize his figure, he heard Xu Dong say again: "Young Master Cheng has also won! No.3 in the first class!"

Xudong looked down the list from front to back, and soon found Gu Yunxiao's name: "There is also the young master! I won the second and seventeenth place!"

Xu Dong is not tall, but his body is extremely flexible. Sometimes he grabs passers-by's shoulders and jumps his head, and sometimes he steps on someone's bookcase to climb high and look into the distance. In just a short while, others are still struggling to stand in the crowded crowd. But he has already jumped up and down to read the rankings of Gu Yunji and the others.

After finally standing still, Gu Yunji finally had the space to look up and saw the words: No. 1 - Gu Yunji from Songjiang Mansion.

His gaze moved down slowly, and suddenly, Gu Yunji's eyes narrowed, and he saw the name written before Cheng Yan: No. 2 of the First Class——Fang Zigui from Shuntian Prefecture.

Fang Zigui actually ranks above Cheng Yan, No. 2 in the general examination?It seems that his strength should not be underestimated. Since he was able to rank among the best in the general examination, he must be not bad in the subsequent palace examination. Maybe I will really see him in the future.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunji narrowed his eyes and his heart sank a little.

Last year, the three of them set off from Songjiang Prefecture to take the exam together, and now the three of them are in Beijing together again. Is there anything more fulfilling than this in the world?Xu Dong blushed with excitement, and said excitedly: "Congratulations to the eldest young master, congratulations to the third young master, congratulations to Mr. Cheng! Congratulations to the three tribute masters!"

Although he had already received news from Gu Yuanhui, but now that he saw his name on the list with his own eyes, Gu Yunxiao had a real feeling of being ranked first, and his heart was completely settled.

He let out a breath slowly, trying to hold back the surging tears, his voice trembling: "The [-]th place in the second place... I thought that even if I got [-]% of the wins, I would be the bottom of the crane. Before and after the name, I didn't expect to have such a high ranking. In this way, I am not ashamed of my father and mother's teaching, and Xiuyun's concern day and night..."

Affected by Gu Yunxiao's emotions, Cheng Yan, who has always been quiet and introverted, had flushed eyes. He took several deep breaths before he could suppress the soreness in his throat. He felt both joy and emotion, mixed feelings for a while.

From the county examination to the township examination and then to the general examination, Cheng Yan, a poor commoner, after several years of long journey to study, is now finally in the rankings, successfully crossing the dragon gate to change his destiny.From now on, fame and fortune, red jade and purple ribbon will all be in front of his eyes.

Seeing that Gu Yunji was looking at the list without speaking, as if he was in a daze, Xudong stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes: "Third Young Master, what's wrong with you? I'm so happy, but I still can't believe it? Don't worry, the list is clearly clear. It is written on the ground, you are Huiyuan, you can't be wrong!"

Suddenly returning to his senses, he happened to bump into Xudong's shining eyes, and the dullness in Gu Yunji's heart just now quietly dissipated, and he came back with belated surprise, and said, "I'm not happy and stupid, but I never expected that I would pass the exam. Yuan. I was avoiding candidates, and it stands to reason that the ranking shouldn't be so high."

Cheng Yan smiled and said: "Whether you deserve it or not, you are already a member anyway. Since the examiners dare to rank you as the first, it means that they have their own considerations, so don't think too much about it, just like Didn't I also expect that I got No.3?"

"It's true." Gu Yunji put aside the doubts in his mind, and cupped his hands to congratulate the two of them, "Speaking of which, I haven't congratulated Cheng Yan and elder brother yet, congratulations for winning the tribute."

Gu Yunxiao and Cheng Yan smiled back and said, "Congratulations to my third brother/Yunji High School Huiyuan."

Just as the three congratulated each other, among the crowd in the distance, Fan Fushang clapped excitedly: "Looking at them, they should all hit the mark. My vision is really good!"

"What is the name of the one I chose...Cheng Yan? It seems to be Chen Yan? Is the surname Cheng or Chen?" Fan Fushang carefully distinguished with his ears up, but he still couldn't hear clearly, "Brother Sun, You have a good look, help me see how many exams that Cheng Yan got... Hey, Brother Sun?"

Fan Fushang talked for a long time, but when he turned his head, he found that Sun Fushang had long since disappeared, most likely because he was dispersed by the flow of people.He had been paying attention to Cheng Yan's actions just now, and he didn't realize that there was no one around him at all.

Looking around for no one, Fan Fushang couldn't help but feel a little worried: "I have bad eyesight, and I can't see the face of that scholar named Cheng Yan clearly. He is similar to the figure of the servant next to him. I will admit my mistake later." What should I do?"

In anxiety, Fan Fushang could only pin his hopes on the followers behind him: "Do you remember what he looks like?"

The entourage shrank his head subconsciously, and said with a sneering smile: "Back to the master, the little one was distracted before, just watching the juggler over there, and didn't pay much attention..."

"Master, don't be in a hurry!" Seeing that Fan Fushang seemed to be angry, the entourage quickly added, "Didn't you say that he only has the same figure as the one next to him? You just need to keep an eye on the two of them, and who will you see later?" If you don’t bring a servant, which one is it?”

"And even if you can't see the face clearly, you can tell it from the color of the clothes. You see, the one with the servant is wearing light blue clothes, and the one next to him—the scholar you fancy, is wearing blue clothes , it is quite easy to distinguish.”

Fan Fushang squinted his eyes, followed the direction pointed by the attendant for a while, and found that it was indeed so.So he nodded in satisfaction, and said confidently: "Okay, then I'll keep an eye on the man in blue."

"Go get the rope sack now, call two more people, and wait for the crowd to disperse later, go up and tie my uncle home for me!"
