Xu Zhaoming had been extremely embarrassed for a long time. When he heard this, he felt as if he had received amnesty. He stood up quickly and said, "Brother Gu, you are serious. Come with me and I will lead the way."

He left with Gu Jinan, Gu Dexing, Qi Kangming, and Brother Cheng.

Gu Qingliang and Gu Qingtian did not pass the exam. After Mrs. Gu was beheaded, they accompanied their grandmother, Qi Kang and his wife, Qi Pan, and Qi Kangle back first, but they are not here now.

When Mr. Xu saw Xu Zhaoming speaking so politely, he frowned and wanted to say a few words, but it was obvious that they were already far away, so he had to give up.

Xu Zhaoming did not go through the front door, but took Gu Jinan and the others through the back door of the shop.

As soon as he walked out of the back door, Xu Zhaoming felt relaxed and said to Gu Jinan: "Brother An, don't mind, my grandfather is..."

I have taken a liking to you and want to recruit you as my grandson-in-law.

He said a little guiltily: "It's my fault. If I could have rejected Grandpa, what happened today wouldn't have happened."

Xu Zhaoming always felt that it was very unethical to rely on friendship to lure people into the shop and let their own mothers look at their sisters.

Gu Jinan smiled and said: "You don't have to feel guilty. After all, your family helped us a lot today, otherwise we would still be trapped on the street."

Then he said: "As for other things, don't worry, as long as my father is here, nothing will happen."

your dad?

Xu Zhaoming thought of Gu Dashan's reputation as a bad guy, and wondered whether Gu Dashan could withstand his grandfather's offensive?

Gu Jinan knew Xu Zhaoming's worries, but didn't say much. He smiled and said, "Let's go. I'll be the last to come back. I have to go see Magistrate Zheng quickly, otherwise it won't be good."

As the head of the case in the government, he should be the first to come back to see Magistrate Zheng, but because of matters involving the old Gu family, he had been delayed for a long time and became the last one to come back. If you don't go see Magistrate Zheng quickly, you will really look down on Magistrate Zheng.

Magistrate Zheng has also been waiting for Gu Jinan. Magistrate Zheng is the happiest when he can be admitted as the chief criminal officer of the government. If he takes the lead in the court case again, it will be Xiao Sanyuan, and the entire JAC will be ranked high.

"Is Gu Jinan here?" Magistrate Zheng asked Master Zheng, who had the same surname as him.

Seeing Magistrate Zheng's impatient look, Master Zheng smiled and said, "It should be here soon. Gu Jinan is very measured in his work and will not keep you waiting for a long time. It was Village Chief He who made such a fuss that he was stopped."

Otherwise, he would have come a long time ago, but the government officials said that the mule cart from the Luo Family Escort Bureau was heading straight for the county government office.

Speaking of Village Chief He, County Magistrate Zheng gritted his teeth: "This old man is too incompetent to do things. He also beat gongs and drums and blocked everyone."

Master Zheng said: "He, the first chief case officer in Tianfu County, feels that their village is in smoke. It is human nature to want to make a good name for the village."

After hearing this, Magistrate Zheng said nothing.

While the two were talking, Luo Wu knocked on the door and came in: "Sir, Master Zheng, Gu Jinan is here."

Luo Wu asked for leave to pick up someone. Magistrate Zheng knew about his relationship with the Gu family, so he was not embarrassed and quickly gave him leave. Now he is very pleased to see him running to work while still on leave: " Please come in."

Master Zheng smiled. He was so anxious before, but when this man came, he picked up the food instead.

"Yes." Luo Wu responded and quickly brought Gu Jinan and the others in.

The two brothers He Jinsheng and He Yinsheng also came, and they became familiar with Magistrate Zheng.

Gu Jinan and the others knelt down as soon as they saw Magistrate Zheng: "Students Gu Jinan, Qi Kangming, and Gu Dexing from Tianfu County, please pay homage to the magistrate. Fortunately, we have fulfilled our orders and passed the Tongsheng examination."

Magistrate Zheng is an official, but Gu Jinan and the others are not scholars yet, so kneeling to the magistrate is within the criminal law of Dachu.

Magistrate Zheng hurriedly came over to help them up: "Hurry up, you are already children. When you pass the exam in June, you will be a scholar. There is no need to kneel to the official."

Speaking of the June college examination, he explained: "You are coming back late, so you must seize the time to study and don't miss the June college exam."

Although Gu Jinan was very stable, Magistrate Zheng was afraid that he would hurt Zhong Yong before he passed the hospital examination.

Gu Jinan responded: "Yes, students will definitely calm down, study hard, and pass the college examination."

Magistrate Zheng nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Qi Kangming, who didn't speak much, and praised: "You did well in the exam. As long as you don't take it lightly, you will definitely pass the college exam."

This time in the prefectural examination, their Tianfu County was in the limelight. Not to mention the largest number of people who passed the exam, even the first and third place in the prefectural examination were from Tianfu County.

A few days after the results of the government examination were released, he received a commendation from the prefect and sour letters from the other seven county magistrates of He'an Prefecture.

Qi Kangming smiled and bowed to Magistrate Zheng: "Your Excellency, the County Magistrate, is very flattering. The students will definitely pass the college examination in one fell swoop and not disappoint the County Magistrate."

"Okay, you are ambitious." Magistrate Zheng was very happy. He looked at Gu Dexing, who was a little nervous next to him, patted his shoulder and said: "Gu Dexing, you also did very well in the exam. Relax, as long as you concentrate on your studies and make no mistakes. , I hope I can pass the hospital examination.”

Gu Jinan and Qi Kangming were both very talented, and it was certain that they would get good grades. But Gu Dexing surprised Magistrate Zheng. He didn't expect that he would get twelfth place in the examination.

Students from eight counties competed. With his knowledge, it was really not easy for him to get this ranking.

Gu Dexing didn't expect that Magistrate Zheng would praise him. He was so excited and nervous that he stuttered when he spoke: "County, your Majesty, the magistrate, is too complimentary."

Magistrate Zheng laughed out loud when he saw Gu Dexing was so nervous: "Don't be nervous, sit down, let's talk."

But Gu Dexing's hands and feet were stiff. This was the most promising moment in his life.

Brother Cheng smiled, took his hand and said, "Brother Dexing, please sit down quickly. Uncle Zheng is the most friendly person, so there is no need to be afraid."

Brother Cheng and Zheng Qing studied together. Magistrate Zheng liked him very much. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Brother Cheng is right. You don't have to be afraid of me. In a few years, we may become colleagues."

"Students don't dare!" Gu Dexing blurted out, his head was a little dizzy.

County Magistrate Zheng saw that he was too nervous and said nothing more. He only teased Brother Cheng and said some words to Gu Jinan and the others. Then he changed the subject and suddenly looked at Gu Jinan and reminded him: "You are the chief case officer of the government. There will definitely be many matchmakers coming to your hometown this time, so don’t worry, as long as you pass the examination as a scholar, a good match will come to your door."

The Zheng family fell in love with Gu Jinan and wanted to allocate their daughter to him.

That's right, she is a daughter from a side branch, not a noble daughter from the direct branch.

Although Gu Jinan is very promising, his background is too poor. The Zheng family is a wealthy family, and the daughters of the direct descendants are allotted to the sons of the aristocratic family or the children of high-ranking officials. The ones that can be given to Gu Jinan are only the daughters of the side branches.

But even if she is a side branch girl, it is something that others cannot ask for.

However, Gu Jinan politely declined: "Don't worry, sir, the student has sworn that he will never discuss marriage until he is admitted to the imperial examination. His parents have also agreed and will not let the student see her for the past two years."

Gu Jinan refused very cleverly, so after hearing this, Magistrate Zheng was just stunned and said: "Very ambitious."

With Gu Jin'an's ability, it is not difficult to pass the exam. There are many daughters from the Zheng family's side branches. After he passes the exam, it will not be difficult to find a side branch girl of the right age to match him.
