Gu Jingcheng was happy for a while at first, but only for a moment.

He knows that he will not stop at Jieyuan.

"But this is already very powerful. Although I know you will be more powerful, it does not affect my respect for you at this moment."

Su Xiaomu also ordered a bottle of wine. For such a happy event, wouldn't it be too boring if I didn't drink some wine?

She poured him a glass herself: "Tomorrow, after the county magistrate gives you a congratulatory banquet, the fate between the two of us will be over... Today's last banquet should be regarded as a farewell banquet."

"Farewell banquet?" He said these two words lightly, "Has the fate ended?"

"The fate in front of me has ended, but I wonder if we can still see each other again after Mr. Gu becomes Mr. Gu?

But by that time, Master Gu must have forgotten me."

Su Xiaomu pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and sighed, then raised her head with a joyful smile on her face: "He Lishu..."

"Let's talk about it after tomorrow."

Gu Jingcheng didn't want to talk to her about such a disappointing thing on such a happy day. He thought of that thing and instantly lost any appetite when he looked at the table full of delicious food, "Let's eat."

"Alright."

Su Xiaomu saw that his face changed slightly after hearing her say the words "He Li Shu", thinking that he was afraid of causing trouble for himself on such a good day, so he didn't ask any more questions.

The two of them ate the meal from being overjoyed to feeling sick to their stomachs.

After eating, Gu Jingcheng sent Su Xiaomu home first, and then went to the inn himself.

He was going to a banquet tomorrow and it was not convenient for him to stay overnight at Su Xiaomu's place today. He would not leave until she locked the door after she got home.

——

The banquet on the second day was extremely lively and was held in the backyard of the Yamen.

Gu Jingcheng went to the backyard at the invitation of the yamen servant. Although it was night, the whole yard was illuminated by candlelight as bright as day.

Amber wine, white jade plates, wine like springs, harp and flute, tinkling bells, full of rare delicacies, it's so lively.

The people who come and go are all high school students. When we meet in pairs, you and I exchange words and exchange poems and good poems.

Gu Jingcheng was taken directly to the county magistrate.

When they met just now, before he had time to say hello to the county magistrate, the county magistrate immediately lifted him up and praised him with all his praises before his hands clasped in his fists fell down.

"No need to be too polite, no need to be too polite..."

"I have long heard that Mr. Gu is knowledgeable and writes excellent articles, but I have never had the opportunity to meet you.

Now it's better. Mr. Gu is both talented and learned, and he is a high school student. He is really formidable to future generations. It's amazing, it's amazing!"

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry. Jingcheng is just lucky enough to be appreciated by the examiners. It's really not that much of a skill. Your Majesty, you are responsible for all things and you work hard for the people of the city every day. You are a role model for our generation, and we should learn to respect you."

Gu Jingcheng's words really weren't meant to flatter the county magistrate.

Although he had only been in Fucheng for a few days, he had not seen much of the world.

According to what his teacher said, based on his experience of the people coming and going in the inn, he probably knew that the county magistrate was a good official who really served the country and the people.

Moreover, he is also the kind of good official who is not pedantic. He knows how to serve the people well and knows how to have a good relationship with superiors and subordinates.

Therefore, he has only been here for three years and has already been recognized by the people of Fucheng.

And his performance evaluation has been excellent for two consecutive years. If nothing unexpected happens, he should receive a promotion this year.

"Hahahahahaha! Mr. Gu is a smart man, a smart man! Everyone should learn more from him! We not only need to write good articles, but also do things well as a person!"

The county magistrate patted Gu Jingcheng's shoulder with great satisfaction and toasted him with several glasses of wine.

Surrounding them were many young talents who had taken the provincial examination.

Everyone knew that Gu Jingcheng was the winner of the provincial examination, so they had planned to communicate with him more. Now that they saw that he had been appreciated by the county magistrate, everyone lined up to toast him.

In just a quarter of an hour, Gu Jingcheng became the star of the banquet.

After drinking one glass after another, he felt a little dizzy.

So he took the opportunity when the county magistrate was going to change clothes, and said goodbye to everyone, saying that he was going to the backyard to change clothes and let go of the alcohol.

He directly grabbed a boy serving wine and asked him to take him to the side room to change clothes.

Gu Jingcheng is really not a drinker. He could tolerate it for a while when people were coming and going, but now that he relaxes, his cheeks slowly turn pink.

He lay half-ly on the bed to rest, and pulled at the front of his clothes because he felt too hot.

While I was groggy, I heard the sound of someone pushing open the door and entering.

He squinted his eyes and looked outside, and saw a woman in pink clothes coming towards him.

The visitor was Lin Yin. She was dressed up today and even wore a new dress.

At this time, she tiptoed towards the bed. When she was almost there, she suddenly stopped and looked at Gu Jingcheng lying on the bed, with a look of deep affection on her face.

The person she likes has his head tilted, his cheeks are flushed, and his long black hair is tied up with a silver crown, with a white jade hairpin in the middle.

His eyes were closed tightly, and his thin lips had unusually sharp edges.

At this time, he seemed to be in a dream, and he didn't know what a beautiful dream he had, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

The veins on his neck were also more obvious than usual, and every time he breathed in and out, Lin Yin felt itchy in his heart.

She pursed her lips, resisting the feeling of rising blood.

He jumped straight towards the bed, pulled open his clothes with both hands, and opened his mouth to bite his neck.

Gu Jingcheng was already about to fall asleep drunk, so he didn't take the noise seriously. He just thought it was the boy who just came to bring him a change of clothes.

But he never expected that as soon as he closed his eyes, he smelled a fragrant powdery smell, which made his head hurt more and more.

"you!"

He opened his eyes impatiently, and what he saw was a scene that made his eyes split open.

"You are shameless!"

He never expected that he would be treated lightly by someone, and that such a person who already disgusted him so much would be lying on top of him!

Using all his strength, Gu Jingcheng pushed Lin Yin to the ground, then tightened his clothes and ran out.

His wing was close to the back door, and he accidentally glanced at it when he came in just now.

So at this moment, I ran straight to the back door and rushed out.

The drunkenness just now had dissipated long ago, and when he was blown away by a gust of wind, his face was filled with embarrassment.

Just when he was about to go back to the inn to wash off all the dirt on his body, the person he thought about day and night appeared in front of him.

"Hey, didn't you go to the banquet today? Why are you here at this time?"

Su Xiaomu had just returned from wandering around after dinner, and felt that the panicked person in front of him looked very familiar.

She turned her head curiously and took a look, and it was really not her eyes that were wrong.

"I met some..."

The moment Gu Jingcheng saw Su Xiaomu, he felt that his whole body had lost all strength and he fell straight down.
Chapter completed!
