Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was time to release the results. Early in the morning, many students gathered in front of the bulletin board, waiting for people from the court to come and post the results.
Just when many students were looking forward to it, they saw the official responsible for posting the list walking slowly towards here. He was accompanied by several soldiers responsible for protecting his safety. He looked quite majestic. .
"Everyone give in, everyone give in!"
Before the official responsible for posting the list approached, everyone heard such a sound, and in desperation, they quickly moved out of the way.
After the official responsible for posting the list approached the bulletin board and looked around, he took the list from his subordinate and posted it on the bulletin board.
After doing this, the official walked away as leisurely as when he came.
The moment the officials left, the students quickly gathered around to see if their names were on the list. If their names were not on the list, it meant that all the hard work they had put in over the past three years had been lost. , everything was in vain, and I could only wait for the next exam with peace of mind.
Soon, someone saw his name on the list.
"Oh, I got it! I got it!"
The student felt relieved after carefully looking at the rankings on the list several times.
Immediately, he ran away like crazy.
The remaining students looked at the man's retreating figure with even more envy in their eyes. At the same time, regardless of the crowd, they squeezed in extra hard.
"Ouch, stop crowding!"
"Who stepped on my foot!"
…
Capital City, Yan Mansion.
After half a month of grading, Yan Shifan finally came out of the small dark room and returned to Yan's Mansion in a sedan.
Just as he was about to visit Yan Song, he saw three young men dressed like scholars walking out of Yan Song's study. Their expressions were unusually respectful. Seeing Yan Shifan return, he quickly bowed to him and saluted.
"I've been waiting for Mr. Xiao Ge!"
When Yan Shifan saw this, his face was full of doubts and he asked immediately.
"You are?"
After hearing Yan Shifan's words, the three of them looked at each other, and the man in the middle stood up and responded.
"Mr. Xiao Ge, I'm here to visit Mr. Yan Ge!"
"Before this, Mr. Yan Ge used to grade papers for me. Now..."
After this person narrated the whole story clearly, Yan Shifan realized that Yan Song had actually graded papers for these candidates in these days!
At present, the three people in front of him are already on the list and are about to prepare for the upcoming palace examination.
"Well, I understand, and I hope you can achieve good results in the next palace examination!"
Yan Shifan looked away from the three of them and spoke words of encouragement.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiaoge!"
After hearing this, the three people's faces were filled with gratitude, and they quickly bowed to Yan Shifan.
"Well, I have something to do next, so I'll leave first."
"Excuse me, Mr. Xiaoge!"
Upon seeing this, the three people quickly saluted and watched Yan Shifan leave.
Immediately, Yan Shifan stepped up the steps and knocked on the study door.
"Come in!"
A slightly tired voice came from the room.
When Yan Shifan saw this, he pushed the door straight in without much hesitation.
In the study room, Yan Song was rubbing his temples with his hands, looking extremely tired. The books on the desk were casually put aside.
"Father, are you okay?"
Upon seeing this, Yan Shifan quickly stepped forward and came to Yan Song's side, his face full of worry.
Yan Song raised his head, glanced at Yan Shifan, shook his head and said slowly.
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired lately."
Seeing that Yan Song was still struggling to get up, Yan Shifan quickly took the lead and helped Yan Song up, his tone full of concern.
"Father, you'd better rest a little longer!"
Unexpectedly, Yan Song just shook his head, looked at the unfinished official business on the desk, and continued.
“That’s all it takes, it’ll be done soon!”
When Yan Shifan saw this, he immediately made a decisive move.
"Father, let your son handle the rest of these affairs. You go back to your room and rest for a while!"
What was different from the past was that Yan Shifan's tone was full of irrefutable meaning. Upon seeing this, Yan Song no longer held on, and immediately nodded and began to give specific instructions.
After Yan Song finished his instructions, Yan Shifan called the servant and asked him to help Yan Song to the room to rest. Soon, Yan Shifan was seen sitting next to the desk and began to deal with the remaining affairs.
After a while, the servant came to report.
"Mr. Xiao Ge, Mr. Yan Ge has gone to bed!"
"Well, I understand, go down."
After listening to the servant's report, Yan Shifan felt relieved and then continued to deal with the affairs left by Yan Song.
It must be said that Yan Shifan was very efficient, and he quickly handled the remaining matters.
Yan Shifan put down the brush in his hand and checked it several times from beginning to end. After seeing that there were no mistakes, he felt relieved and said silently to himself.
"Phew, it's finally done!"
At this moment, the housekeeper pushed open the door and turned his attention to Yan Shifan, who was sitting behind the desk, and reported respectfully.
"Mr. Xiao Ge, someone is coming from the palace. I want you to come over now!"
"I also asked you to bring the flag that you designed earlier."
After Yan Shifan learned the news from the housekeeper, he immediately looked stern and gave the order.
"Well, I know, I'll be there right away!"
"Besides, there seems to be something wrong with my father's condition. Let him pay more attention to rest. Do you understand?"
Before Yan Shifan left the house, he turned around again and warned.
"Yes, Mr. Xiaoge!"
After the housekeeper responded respectfully, he watched Yan Shifan leave.
Yan Shifan did not dare to delay at all. After leaving the gate of Yan's Mansion, he took a sedan and marched towards the Forbidden City.
…
Forbidden City, Hall of Nourishing Heart.
At this moment, Jiajing was sitting leisurely on the dragon chair, holding an unknown book in his hand. Lu Fang, as usual, was respectfully waiting beside Jiajing, like a statue.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Yan Ge has been very busy these days!"
At this moment, Lu Fang on the side spoke in time.
"Recently, he has been busy reviewing articles for those candidates, and I have also specially lightened some of his burdens."
Jiajing glanced at Lu Fang, put the book in his hand aside, and said slowly.
At this moment, an eunuch entered the Yangxin Hall, knelt on the ground with a thud, and reported respectfully.
"Your Majesty, Yan Shifan has arrived and is waiting outside the palace!"
After listening to the eunuch's report, Jiajing waved his hand quite casually and gave the order.
"Let him come in without any notification."
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
After the eunuch responded, he left the Yangxin Hall.
After a while, Yan Shifan was seen stepping into the Yangxin Hall.
"I bow to your majesty, long live my emperor!"
As soon as he entered the Yangxin Hall, he knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully to Jiajing, who was sitting on the dragon chair.
"Well, get up!"
Jiajing waved his hand and signaled Yan Shifan to get up from the ground. Then Jiajing looked away and gave the order.
"Come here, give me a seat!"
As soon as Jiajing finished speaking, a eunuch immediately came forward and prepared a seat for Yan Shifan.
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"
