The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children

Gu Dashu's shout successfully attracted everyone's attention.

It is not clear whether others envy Gu Dashu, but it is true that he feels comfortable all over.

It took several generations for his family to produce a scholar, who became a world-famous top scholar at the first attempt, and he was the top scholar among the top six. The green smoke coming out of his ancestral grave was thicker than his thigh. Gu Dashu wanted to tell the world that Gu Jingzhe and he were from the same family.

He felt that even if the ants on the roadside didn't know that the Gu family had produced a top scholar, it was because he had not promoted it enough.

"Did my third brother really become the top scholar? Did you read the name clearly?"

Gu Dahan was pushed by the crowd. Seeing the imperial edict getting farther and farther away from him, he gave up looking at it and rushed to Gu Dashu to confirm it again.

Gu Dashu put his hands on his hips and said, "He's the top scholar, that's for sure. How could I have misread Gu Jingzhe's name?"

There was excitement and excitement in his tone.

Gu Dahan grinned, and his eyes turned red as he laughed.

If Dad knew in the underworld that my third brother had won the top spot in the imperial examination, he would be so happy. I should burn paper for him so that he can be happy with the living.

Thinking of this, Gu Dahan said it out.

When Gu Dashu heard Gu Dahan mention his father, his expression darkened. He said, "What does this have to do with Dad? Back then, when Mom wanted my third brother to study for the imperial examination, Dad was against it. He always ridiculed Mom for daydreaming, saying it was useless and that our Gu family wasn't cut out for academics. If Mom hadn't insisted on tightening her belt to allow my third brother to study, we wouldn't have had a single literate person in our family, let alone a top scholar."

Gu Dashu thought he had to remind Gu Jingzhe that it was all thanks to his mother that he was able to study and be selected as the top scholar. He should thank his mother first, instead of going to his father's grave to pay tribute.

After hearing what Gu Dashu said, Gu Dahan scratched his head embarrassedly.

Seeing his elder brother was a little embarrassed, Gu Dashu put aside the past and said, "Third brother won the top prize, which is a great joy for our Gu family."

Gu Dahan said, "Yes, yes, what you said is right, second brother."

Gu Dashu called the servant and asked him to go home quickly to tell Tong Huaqiong that Gu Jingzhe had won the top spot in the imperial examination.

They will go back later.

The two brothers were talking when they heard the sound of horse hooves.

Then the crowd cheered.

"The top scholar is here."

"That's the number one scholar. How come he looks better than the third place scholar?"

Gu Dashu and Gu Dahan looked over at the crowd.

Their third brother, the newly crowned top scholar, was wearing a red robe and a red flower on his head, and was riding a tall horse as he walked towards them.

He looked as high-spirited as on his wedding day.

Gu Dahan pointed at Gu Jingzhe and said to Gu Dashu, "Second brother, we have to follow. I heard there's a competition to find a husband based on the imperial examination results. Third brother is the top scorer and he's so handsome. What if some rich girl takes his fancy and takes him away? Third brother is already married."

Gu Dashu's eyes glared, and he said, "Big brother is right. We can't let our third brother be captured."

Gu Dashu thought that his eldest brother didn't know yet that his third brother was so charming that he ran to the Imperial College to block her after being noticed by Princess Mingyue. The matter was even brought to the attention of the emperor.

What if another Miss Mingyue or Princess Mingyue comes along and falls in love with my third brother? Wouldn’t that be the end of the world?

I must tell everyone the news that my third brother is married.

"Wow, he's so handsome. I've seen so many top scholars in Shengjing, and this one is the most handsome. I wonder which young lady will choose him as her son-in-law."

At this time, an old man in the crowd stroked his beard and pointed at Gu Jingzhe in admiration.

Everyone agreed with Gu Jingzhe's appearance.

Gu Dashu roared to the crowd, "Gu Zhuangyuan is already married and about to have a child. No other young lady has a chance."

An older woman in the crowd started to speak, "Young man, stop talking nonsense. Gu Zhuangyuan looks so young, how could he be married already? Could it be that you're spreading the news on purpose to prevent others from seizing Gu Zhuangyuan as a son-in-law and making a good deal for your daughter?"

The person next to him nodded in agreement and rolled his eyes at Gu Dashu.

They have seen this kind of routine many times.

Gu Dashu stamped his feet and said, "I'm really not lying to you. My name is Gu Dashu, and Gu Zhuangyuan is my third brother Gu Jingzhe. Jufulai is owned by my family. If you don't believe me, go and find out if my third brother is married. My third brother's wife is not someone else, but the biological sister of the top scholar, Lu Zhaoyang, Lord Lu."

Everyone looked Gu Dashu up and down, and those who knew the inside story said that Gu Dashu was not lying and Gu Jingzhe was indeed married.

"What a pity. Gu Zhuangyuan is going to be a father at such a young age." Some people felt heartbroken.

"Why get married so early? Your status will increase after you become the top scholar, so the person you marry will naturally be better than before you became the top scholar. I don't know if Gu the top scholar regrets it or not. Anyway, if I were the top scholar, I would definitely regret it." A middle-aged man who looked like a scholar was waving a fan, and it was obvious that he was a failed scholar who was feeling jealous.

Gu Dahan was unhappy when he heard this and said, "My third brother is not that kind of person."

"You regret it? Don't you even consider whether you deserve to be the top scholar? You're so shameless. At your age, you probably don't even know where the exam hall door is, yet you're acting crazy here. Top scholar Gu's wife is the daughter of the wealthy Lu family. She has the looks and character you'd never marry in ten reincarnations. She doesn't need you to tell her whether she regrets it or not. Instead of wasting your time, you might as well go home and read some more books so you can get into the next Spring Examination."

Gu Dashu and Gu Dahan heard a familiar voice and turned around to see that it was their old acquaintance Aunt Tang pointing at the down-and-out scholar and retorting.

Aunt Tang's words were very vicious, and she made the other person blush and hide in the crowd in shame.

"Seeing that the parade is heading towards your house, let's follow it." Aunt Tang pointed at Gu Jingzhe who was wearing red clothes and said.

So everyone followed the parade towards their homes.

Gu Jingzhe was surrounded by people. He saw Gu Dashu and Gu Dahan under the imperial edict, but he was squeezed so tightly that he had no chance to say a word to them. He could only smile at them across the crowd.

Tong Huaqiong and others have already received the news that Gu Jingzhe has won the top spot in the imperial examination.

Lu Zhaozhao burst into tears with excitement on the spot.

Tong Huaqiong's mind buzzed with excitement. The old emperor was very loyal. This time he was not affected by Gu Jingzhe's appearance and really chose him as the top scholar.

Gu Taohua arrived home early and, together with Gu Baishuang, directed the servants to prepare firecrackers and copper coins.

The whole family stood at the door, waiting for Gu Jingzhe to return home from the parade.

As soon as he left the house, neighbors, shop assistants, and friends he had made since coming to Shengjing all came to congratulate him after hearing the news.

Tong Huaqiong accepted the congratulations with a beaming face.

Soon, Gu Jingzhe appeared on horseback.

With a red silk draped over his bright red Jinshi robe and a red flower pinned on his hair, Gu Jingzhe looked even more handsome and elegant.

It's hard to take your eyes off him.

When everyone saw Gu Jingzhe appear, they cheered.

Tong Huaqiong didn't know how Tong Dajiao felt when she was the mother of a third place winner in her previous life, but her identity as the mother of a first place winner made her hands and feet tremble with excitement.

This is no less than the grand occasion in modern times when a student from a poor mountain village wins the top spot in the science subject of the college entrance examination.
