The apricot list was posted, triggering a craze throughout the city.
Lu Yingxue was a lively person. Every time when the list was published, she would pull Cheng Wanwan to occupy the favorable terrain in advance, but this time she looked miserable.
"Forget it, let's go." Lu Yingxue stood up, "Sidan and Xiaozheng performed well. Let's see where they got in the exam."
"It's already this hour, and I can't squeeze in even if I go." Cheng Wanwan smiled, "It's better to sit in the courtyard and drink tea. If you pass the exam, someone will naturally come to report it. If you don't pass, just keep working hard. ”
"Sister Wanwan, when will I learn to be as calm as you?" Lu Yingxue couldn't be so calm. She shook her head and said, "Si Dan and Xiao Zhan are still reading in the study. I don't know why these two boys are sitting like this. Live."
She knew in her heart that Xiaozhan was out of luck, but she still couldn't help but feel anxious and kept walking around in the yard.
Gu Bing was so dizzy by her shaking that she couldn't help but said: "If Mrs. Yu really wants to know the result, my subordinates can help me make a trip. I can go back and forth in just a cup of tea."
Lu Yingxue was about to talk when the noisy sound of gongs and drums came from far away.
The sound got closer and closer, and the little maid who was sweeping leaves at the door ran in and shouted loudly: "Madam, someone from the official school is here, and the news is coming!"
"I knew Sidan would definitely pass the exam!" Lu Yingxue pulled Cheng Wanwan's arm and said excitedly, "Stop drinking tea and go out and have a look."
Cheng Wanwan put down the tea cup, stood up and asked Mrs. Qi to prepare the silver reward, and then walked towards the door.
When I walked to the door, I saw people from the official school coming lively with gongs and drums, and finally stopped at the door of the house.
"Excuse me, is this the residence of Zhao Jingsi, a resident of Dahe Town, Ping'an County, Huzhou, Yunnan Province?"
Cheng Wanwan nodded: "It's Quanzi."
"Young men have seen Mrs. Sui." The people from the official school bowed politely, then raised their heads and beat the gongs and drums fiercely, "The wind blew, the water shook the sky, and the fish and dragons carried the colorful boats."
Then he knocked again and said loudly, "Spring is good, always Suixuan, Huiyuanluo this family."
"The son of Mrs. Noho, the leader of the Huiyuan!"
"Congratulations to Mrs. Sui, congratulations to Mr. Zhao, you won two yuan in the provincial examination, and won two yuan in the general examination. You are the envy of others!"
The people from the official school sang in harmony, raising the atmosphere to the highest point.
People watching the excitement at the door applauded and couldn't help but talk.
"My God, Mrs. Sui is so good at teaching children. She had a nephew who was Huiyuan, and three years later her own son also became Huiyuan."
"How else could I be the headmaster of a girls' school? Otherwise, how could I be so valued by the emperor and queen? Mrs. Sui is really capable."
"The palace examination will be held soon. Mrs. Sui's son will not be the number one scholar."
"Our Daewoo Dynasty hasn't produced a third-level champion in many years. I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."
"But it doesn't seem unusual if it happens to Mrs. Sui's son..."
"..."
Cheng Wanwan herself was a little surprised.
She knew that Sidan had a high probability of being on the list, and she thought that it would be good to rank in the 30s or 40s. Unexpectedly, she was ranked first.
To take the first place among so many outstanding scholars is more difficult than the college entrance examination in later generations...
When Cheng Zhao was able to take the first place in the exam, he had studied hard for more than ten years in a cold window. Si Dan had only been studying for four or five years, but he was able to crush so many outstanding talents.
All we can say is that Sidan really has a talent for reading.
After she was surprised, she said with a smile: "Thank you so much for coming to announce the good news. This is a hard-earned fee, not a sign of respect, so please accept it."
She took the money bag from Mrs. Qi and gave one to each of them.
The person from the official school weighed it a little and realized that a lot of money was put in it. He immediately smiled and if it was auspicious, he poured it out without any money.
"Excuse me, Mrs. Sui, where does Yu Zhan from Dahe Town, Ping'an County, live?" The person from the official school frowned, "This address is also listed on the student record, but this is Mrs. Sui's residence..."
Lu Yingxue's breath suddenly suffocated, and she immediately stepped forward: "I am Yu Zhan's mother, we are staying with Mrs. Sui temporarily!"
Her eyes were bright and she stared nervously at the people in the official school, waiting for what they would say next.
"Congratulations to Mrs. Yu!" The people from the official school rang the gong again, "Yu Zhan won the twelfth place in this examination, ranking among the best, and has a bright future..."
"Twelve..." Lu Yingxue suddenly grabbed the collar, "Oh my god, my son passed the exam..."
Before she could finish her words, she suddenly fell backwards and fainted. If Gu Bing hadn't quickly wrapped his arms around her waist, her head would have hit the threshold.
"It made a few brothers laugh."
Cheng Wanwan paid the reward instead of Lu Yingxue, distributed wedding cakes and candies to the people who gathered around to watch the excitement, and then closed the door and went in.
Lu Yingxue woke up leisurely and cried with joy: "Sister Wanwan, did you hear that? Xiaozhan passed the exam and came in twelfth place. His fingers were like that. He actually got the twelfth place in the exam. My son is so outstanding. Wow. Woo..."
"mother……"
When Yu Zhan heard the commotion in front, he and Zhao Sidan went to the front yard to see what was going on, and saw his mother crying in Mrs. Sui's arms.
"Xiao Zhan!" Lu Yingxue immediately hugged her son, "You passed the exam, you passed the exam, you are now a Gongsheng student!"
Zhao Sidan laughed: "Congratulations to Brother Yu, congratulations to Brother Yu, for finally reaching the same height as the teacher back then."
Hearing this result, Yu Zhan didn't have much surprise on his face. He said softly: "There is still one last hurdle."
The last level is the final palace examination, which is held half a month after the examination results are announced, that is, in early April.
"There's only half a month left." Zhao Sidan said, "Let's continue reading."
So these two boys had just come out and had not even had time to drink a cup of tea, so they turned around and went back to read, without any surprise at all.
But after taking a few steps, the two of them turned around at the same time and asked: "Is Brother Zheng on the list?"
"Godmother, open the door, open the door quickly!"
At this time, Shen Zhengzhong's angry voice came from outside the door.
Cheng Wanwan smiled: "Brother Zheng must be on the list, otherwise he wouldn't be so excited."
Gu Bing quickly walked over and opened the door. Shen Zheng walked in energetically and punched Zhao Sidan and Yu Zhan each: "Okay, you two, one is the number one and the other is the twelfth. You are so young at such a young age." It’s so outstanding that I feel so embarrassed!”
Lu Yingxue said hurriedly: "Okay, stop showing off and tell me your name quickly."
"Ahem!" Shen Zheng was embarrassed to say, "One hundred and three."
"That's not bad!" Lu Yingxue patted him on the shoulder, "This is a double blessing for the Shen family. Congratulations!"
Shen Zheng rubbed his head and laughed.
In a few days, he and Miss Lin will be getting married. Isn't it a double happiness?
A group of people were talking when the door was knocked again. Two other students from Dahe Academy who were participating in the examination came to report the news.
One of them is on the list, ranked 123rd, while the other one has failed and plans to return to Dahe Academy to study hard for three years before giving it a try.
"Why go back to Dahe Town?" At this time, King Qin walked in swaggeringly, "Study hard for three years and then try again, you may not be able to get on the list."
The student's face turned dark, but he was worried about the other party's identity and did not dare to say anything.
"But it will be different if you come to my Xiao Qin University Hall." King Qin said loudly, "You are a scholar, knowledgeable and insightful. I heard that you have also done some research on the Asab language. If you enter Xiao Qin University Hall, then It must be at the top of the list. Every year, my school recommends officials to Honglu Temple, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Household Affairs. If you are at the top of the list, you can choose where to work. I would not tell others about such a good thing. Just look. Since you are from Mrs. Sui's hometown, I am the first one to invite you..."
