Chapter 415: Preparing for the Banquet
Chu Ziyu smiled slightly, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "It's very simple, he is experiencing an inner struggle. After all, the person standing in front of him is his mortal enemy who killed his father!"
There was no disturbance in Old Man Gu's room, and the entire Gu Mansion was also peaceful.
Early in the morning, the reporter rode a fast horse and galloped towards the Gu Mansion along the bluestone paved street.
The sound of horse hooves echoed in the quiet streets, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Arriving at the gate of Gu's house, the messenger pulled the reins and jumped off his horse. He didn't even have time to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and he knocked on the door of Gu's house impatiently.
The concierge heard the knock on the door and opened it immediately. The reporter didn't bother to greet him and asked anxiously, "Excuse me, is this the residence of Master Gu Weizhi?"
The concierge nodded and said, "Excuse me, who are you?"
The reporter said excitedly, "I'm here to announce the good news. Master Gu won the sixth place in this provincial examination!"
When the doorman heard this, he immediately showed a look of surprise on his face. He quickly invited the reporter into the house and shouted loudly: "Master, Second Madam, great news! The young master won the sixth place in the provincial examination!"
Mr. Gu was drinking tea in the hall. When he heard the doorman's call, the cup in his hand almost fell to the ground. He stood up hurriedly and walked quickly to the door.
Gu Weizhi also heard the news and came out of the study, his face filled with a happy smile and his eyes sparkling with excitement.
When the reporter saw Master Gu, he immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Congratulations, Master Gu. Your son is very talented and stood out in this provincial examination, winning the sixth place!"
The main courtyard was bustling with activity. Old Man Gu was still reading the notes he had left behind. Soon, the footsteps of servants were heard outside the door. There were knocks on the door. "Second Master, the Fourth Young Master passed the imperial examination. The First Master is going to hold a big banquet. I am here to tell you the good news."
Gu Ci'an, who was in the study nearby, also heard the news and subconsciously clenched the teacup in his hand.
He recalled that in his previous life, a great man came to the banquet and almost took Xiaoyu away. If not...
He needs to make plans early.
Chang'an Town has always been a bustling place with people coming and going, and news spreads extremely quickly.
"Have you heard? The eldest branch of the Gu family is the lineage of the head of the family! The fourth young master born to the second concubine of the head of the Gu family - Gu Weizhi actually passed the imperial examination!"
"Yes, that tall horse was really majestic when it came to deliver the message."
"Oh my, this is really amazing!"
Everyone was amazed. You know, in this era, it was rare for someone to pass the imperial examination, and Gu Weizhi had achieved such success at such a young age.
The sound of the gong being struck was heard. The butler looked at the crowd that had gathered around him and said, "In order to celebrate our fourth young master's success in the imperial examination, the master has decided to set up a buffet for three days and three nights! Anyone who is willing to come and show their support can enjoy the delicious food. Fellow villagers, please come and share in the joy."
In the pond, the man and the fish have been doing neither good nor bad these past few days. The good news is that Chu Ziyu's injuries have basically healed. "Boss, the Gu family is going to hold a banquet."
"Yes, our assistant is coming soon. It's time to make someone anxious."
Chu Ziyu fiddled with his hair out of boredom.
