After the paper was handed out, Gu Yunji glanced at the questions and found that they were all within his expectations. One of them he had done something similar before. In short, he was within his grasp. Gu Yunji was confident. After thinking for a moment, he answered the question fluently.

Question comes.

Three days later, the county examination was completed and the candidates filed out.

After walking out of the examination room, Gu Yunji exhaled a breath, stretched his muscles that had become stiff due to curling up, and was about to go home when he saw Cheng Yan walking towards him with a smile.

Gu Yunji didn't want to default on the bill, so when he saw this, he called Xu Dong and prepared to pay for it.

Cheng Yan said, "Master, wait a minute, I don't want your money."

Gu Yunji hesitated and asked, "Then what do you want?"

Cheng Yan looked warm and spoke in a calm tone: "I would like Mr. Gu to introduce me to your father-in-law, Master Gu, or even to Mr. Gu Zhengde."

Gu Yunji looked at his shabby appearance, showed a playful smile, and said: "Oh? Then why did you ask me for money? Besides, with your appearance, why should I introduce you to my father and introduce him to me?

My grandfather? Don’t you think you are overestimating your abilities?”

Cheng Yan followed his gaze and looked at himself, but he was not annoyed at all. He said very confidently: "I am confident that I am talented. I will definitely get the top three in this county test, and I am qualified to show my face in front of your father."

.The reason why I asked the young master for money is also to let you put down your guard and change your number with me smoothly, so that you and I can have a chance to talk properly."

Looking at the other party's clear and deep eyes, Gu Yunji was a little confused for a moment. Hearing this, he chuckled softly: "Your Excellency, you wanted to change your phone number with me to get into the Gu family of Songjiang. You are really well-calculated. I just didn't know you were like this.

If you are working hard and have some confidence in the imperial examination, do you overestimate yourself by acting like this?"

Cheng Yan lowered his head modestly: "Young master, please forgive me, but I am helpless. As you can see, I was born in a poor family, and it took my family about ten years old to raise money to educate me. If I don't think of something, I can just rely on my family's

How far can I go in the imperial examination with a little foundation? For the sake of my own future, I have no choice but to try my best to establish a relationship with a big family like the Gu family in Songjiang."

What a smart careerist. Gu Yunji thought this way.

Although Cheng Yan's behavior made him a little uncomfortable, he still agreed: "Your Excellency, you really don't know how high the sky is. As you said, as long as you get into the top three in this county examination, I will introduce you to me."

Father, if my father appreciates you and is willing to support you, that is his business. If not, don't bother with it. As for my grandfather... wait until you are qualified enough to meet him."

Cheng Yan still looked calm and said with a smile: "That's natural, let's settle it. When the county examination results are released in seven days, Mr. Gu will be able to know whether I am ignorant of the sky and the earth."

Seeing this, Gu Yunji said nothing and turned around to go home.

Seven days have passed in a blink of an eye, and today is the day when the county examination results will be released.

Gu Yunji couldn't sleep well all night, so he simply got up early and took Xu Dong directly to the place where the results were released to wait.

The genius was bright, but there were already many people standing here. Gu Yunji saw Jiang Kang with a worried face at a glance, and walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

"It's so early! Didn't you say that it's better to come early than to come by chance?"

Jiang Kangshi was so frightened that he staggered. He turned around and saw that it was him. He breathed a sigh of relief and stroked his chest fearfully: "Ancestor! You scared me to death! I can't sleep right now. Instead of doing this at home,

Wait, why not come here and be nervous with everyone. By the way, aren’t you here quite early?”

"I can't sleep either. I feel very nervous when I think about the results being released today. Hey, it's just the county exam, and I'm so nervous. If it's the provincial exam and the conference exam, I don't know what will happen."

"Isn't it? No wonder so many people go crazy after passing the exam. I would go crazy too." After saying that, Jiang Kangshi laughed at himself, "We are thinking too far, the county exam has not yet produced results.

Well, I’m just thinking about the Provincial Examination and the Conference Examination. It will take a while before the results are released, so just wait.”

It was not until three o'clock in the morning that the official official who released the results came belatedly.

The officials beat gongs and drums and used their bodies as barriers to keep out the onlookers, while the people inside were busy pasting lists on the walls.

"Everyone, stand back! Stand back! Don't crowd! The list is right here, you can see it morning and night!" an official shouted to maintain order.

Xudong had good eyesight and saw Gu Yunji's name on the list at a glance, and shouted excitedly: "Master! Master! You won! The head of the case! You are number one!"

When Gu Yunji heard this, he looked over and saw the words "No. 1 Huating County Gu Yunji". Seeing this, he let out a sigh of relief, relaxed his tense body, and smiled on his face. Only then did he realize that in the palm of his hand,

I was squeezed so hard that I was sweating all over.

"Hahahahahaha, I won! Nineteenth place!" At this time, Jiang Kangshi next to him also laughed loudly. When he turned around and saw that Gu Yunji was also on the list, he was so happy that he hugged him and shook him wildly, "

Yunji! We all won! Hahahaha! We are scholars!"

"Cough cough cough, Kang Shi, please let me go first, cough cough..." Jiang Kangshi was very strong and his hand was weak. Gu Yunji was choked by him until he could hardly breathe, and he finally broke free.

When others saw this, they all showed envy and jealousy.

"Impossible...how could I miss? This is impossible..." A middle-aged man dressed as a scholar had trembling hands and was sweating profusely with nervousness. He bulged his eyes and looked back and forth on the list several times but still couldn't find his own.

Name, really couldn't bear the blow, rolled his eyes, and fainted.

The people around him were so anxious that they pinched him and poured cold water on him. Seeing that it had no effect, they had to help him carry him to the doctor.

After a while, Gu Yunji came back from his joy and looked at the list carefully, only to find that Cheng Yan's name was ranked second after his own.

They were really among the top three in the county examination, and he was right.

Gu Yunji's face was expressionless, and his heart was filled with panic. He looked back and met Cheng Yan's gaze.

The other party seemed not to have expected the owner of the case, and looked at him with some surprise. Seeing that Gu Yunji was also looking at him, the surprise on Cheng Yan's face fleetingly disappeared, and he soon changed to a humble and warm expression, smiling.

Nodding slightly at him.

Gu Yunji walked towards him. Before he could speak, Cheng Yan held up his hands and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Gu for taking the high school case."

At this time, Gu Yunji knew that this person was not simple, and his tone was no longer as casual as before, and he said seriously: "As you said, you really got the top three in the exam. I underestimated you before. Then I will not break my promise.

When you are free in a few days, I will introduce you to my father."

Cheng Yan's expression never showed any big fluctuations, and he said politely: "Young master Gu, you are serious in your words. I never expected that you would be admitted to the top of the class."

Cheng Yan was born in a poor family, and his tone of voice was very polite and humble when he spoke to him, but Gu Yunji could always feel a trace of arrogance from him that he did not look down on others, as if they, the children of rich and wealthy families, were as stupid as pigs.

He was just an average person. Apart from having a good family background, he was not at all better than others, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Apart from this, he admired Cheng Yan's strategizing and calculating skills. He was only enlightened at the age of ten, and he was able to get second place in the county examination in just a few years. This is no longer a genius, but simply a genius. To be able to have such scheming at such an age

And talent, this person should not be underestimated.
