Chapter 45
"My son, my son." Before Sheng Changbai got off the carriage, Wang called and walked over.Xu Shi was too excited, didn't pay attention to the steps under his feet, and almost fell down.

"Mother." Sheng Changbai hurried up to support Wang.

"Son, you are really doing your mother a favor, and you are not in vain for her to give birth to you and support you." Wang was so excited.Wang herself is not favored by her husband, and she knows that her son is the only one she can rely on. Now that Sheng Changbai has been admitted to Jinshi, she is so proud that she cannot express it.

"Changbai, you have honored the lintel of the Sheng family." Sheng Hong who was standing at the door was also full of satisfaction.

"Finally lived up to my father's expectations." Sheng Changbai saluted his father.

"Quickly, quickly reward my son, hold a wedding banquet, and hold a thank-you banquet." Wang said from the side.

"It's a coincidence that we came here, is there anything we can eat for this wedding banquet today?" Yao Yi walked over with Sheng Shulan.

Yao Yi knew that the rankings would be released today, so he had already prepared gifts.Just now, he estimated that the time was almost up, so he brought Sheng Shulan over.

"You have something to eat, you have something to eat, my uncle came here really fast." Wang originally wanted to show off his good son to everyone, but Yao Yi came to the door with a gift, and she was very happy.

"Hahaha, Yuan Qian came so fast." Sheng Hong also laughed.

"Go in first, go in first." Wang greeted.

A group of people greeted and entered the gate, Changbai went to the ancestral hall to kowtow to the ancestors, Yao Yi and Shulan went to visit the old lady first.

Minglan wanted to make her grandmother happy, so she took Shulan and ran to find the old lady, and told the good news to the old lady's ear.Even if the old lady has such a heart, she can't help showing a smile.

"I met the old lady." Yao Yi and Sheng Shulan bowed.

"You husband and wife are so fast, just to eat this meal at my house?" The old lady said with a smile.

"No, there must be something delicious here today." Shulan said mischievously, making the old lady laugh out loud.

"Mother, congratulations to you." Sheng Hong walked in with Mrs. Wang.

The old lady nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:
"Your footsteps are not as fast as these juniors, I already know."

"Let me ask you, why is there such a commotion outside?"

"I'm telling them to start a firecracker battle. Isn't this Changbai High School?" Wang hurriedly said, her face beaming.

"It's a coincidence that Yuanqian is here too, let's have a lively time at home tonight." Sheng Hong also chimed in.

"It's fine for the family to be lively and lively, but this kind of noise is to make everyone in Bianjing know that the Sheng family's son has won the ball, right?" The old lady poured cold water on the couple.

The smiles of the husband and wife froze on their faces immediately.

"They're all classmates. Little Gongye Qi didn't win, and Erlang Gu didn't win either. Aren't you afraid that the two will be kept in mind if you make such a fuss?"

When Sheng Hong heard this, he became anxious, and hurriedly found someone to bring back the person sent by his family to buy.Sheng Hong has been persecuted in the backyard since he was a child, and has developed a cautious temperament.

Wang was a little unhappy, and complained that Bianjing was not as comfortable as Yangzhou.It was Minglan who came out and said a few good words, which slowed down the atmosphere.

Yao Yi looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help sighing, the old lady was transparent, Sheng Hong was cautious, Sheng Changbai was talented and not pedantic, and the Sheng family should be prosperous.

The girls of the Sheng family are also grown up, Yao Yi can't stay here forever, so he can only go to Sheng Changbai first.Of course, he came here today not just to congratulate Xi, but to discuss with Sheng Changbai about Gu Tingye.

In the provincial examination last year, no one passed except Sheng Changbai.That's all for Qi Heng, when that kid was studying, he didn't care about puppy love at all.Speaking of which, this kid is also very powerful, and the girl was only twelve or thirteen years old, and he missed it.

Gu Tingye's failure made him feel very uncomfortable. Last year's provincial examination, the current officials never heard that Gu Tingye spoke for a dissolute scholar, and angrily abolished Gu Tingye's reputation.

This dissolute scholar complained when he was writing the lyrics, and his fame was changed after the officials found out.If this happened a few years ago, it would not be a big deal, after all, the official's temper is still very good.It's just that now that the officials are getting older, he doesn't want to listen to any of these things that hinder his reputation of benevolence, so Gu Tingye has suffered.

In fact, Yao Yi knew the result, but firstly, Gu Tingye couldn't take back what he said, and secondly, Gu Tingye's destiny was still in the army, so Yao Yi didn't say anything.

"It's inconvenient for me to visit him. It might not feel good for me to go to him." Sheng Changbai shook his head when he heard Yao Yi's intention.

That's right, Gu Tingye failed the rankings, and Sheng Changbai was admitted to high school today. Even if Gu Tingye is not narrow-minded, it is certain that he will be uncomfortable.

"It's just that what will happen to him in the future, the officials have cut off his imperial examination path." Sheng Changbai worried.

"His family's general, no matter whether he is in the army or a private official, there is always a way. I am afraid that he will not be able to overcome the hurdles in his heart." Yao Yi said, Gu Tingye's study was an act of anger with his family. Now that he failed the exam, he didn't know what to do. uncomfortable.

After dinner at Sheng's house, Yao Yi sent Sheng Shulan back, and then went to a restaurant that Gu Tingye frequented. As expected, he really drank here.

At this time, Gu Tingye was leaning on the second floor and looking at a group of scholars below, who came out to celebrate after winning the Jinshi today.

"Drink alone?" Yao Yi walked over and said.

"Let's go together." Gu Tingye smiled wryly.

"I used to look down on these scholars, thinking that my ambition was higher than others, but I didn't expect that I failed the ranking, and I was just like those people." Gu Tingye said to himself.

"But it's nothing to lose the ranking. I wanted to open it before. But I just found out a while ago that it wasn't that my article was not good enough. It was because this good official failed my article. Now that he knows this, My career in imperial examinations is over."

Yao Yi gave Gu Tingye a hand and brought him to the private room on the second floor.No matter how many complaints there are, some things still cannot be said in public.

"Do you know why the officials dropped my article? It's because I complained about Mr. Wudu. Do you know why my words are known by the officials? It's because I said something to my big brother back then. He kept those two sentences in his heart and kept them hidden all the time, just waiting to harm me."

Yao Yi didn't say a word when he came here, but Gu Tingye babbled and said everything, it seems that he has held back for a long time.These words cannot be shared with outsiders, but Gu Tingye has no reservations about Yao Yi, and poured them all out.

"The things in this mansion are disgusting and filthy, I can see it all from you." Yao Yi poured a glass of wine and continued.

"Tell me, can I just learn from my uncles in this life and wait for death from now on?"

"No, it's not just studying and taking scientific exams is the right way." Yao Yi comforted.

"Besides the imperial examination, the only option is to join the army? But three generations of my family have been in the army, and they are deeply rooted. I will inevitably be taken care of when I join the army. This is something I don't want. I don't want to have anything to do with that family."

"I've met that younger brother of yours, and he's fine. Your father, your father just doesn't communicate with you." Only then did Yao Yi understand why it was difficult for an upright official to decide on family affairs.

Gu Tingye smiled mockingly and took a sip of wine.
