After the examination results were released and Cheng Jingzhou passed the exam, the whole Xie family was naturally filled with joy.
Xie Xiuwen ordered someone to deliver a letter to Gaoyang County early in the morning. Of course, the letter also mentioned that if Cheng Jingzhou won the first prize, he would have two months' leave to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors.
This also implies that Cheng Xuezheng has already made preparations.
Xie Rongzhao was the happiest and went in and out several times without knowing what she was going to do.
"Miss, please calm down. There are people coming and going in the front yard. Let's stay calm here first so that no one can gossip."
Chen Xia felt that if the young lady continued to refuse to listen, she would have to call someone to come over and arrest the young lady together.
Fortunately, Xie Rongzhao listened.
"Do you think that when the palace examination comes in March, will brother Jingzhou win the first prize again?"
"Miss, how can the slaves understand this kind of thing? If I hadn't entered the Xie Mansion, I wouldn't even know a word. How would I know this?"
Xie Rongzhao glared at her and started wandering around the yard again.
Chen Xia sighed: "We haven't even gotten married yet, but the young lady is so excited. No wonder the young masters don't like Mr. Cheng these days."
Liu Ruolan only knew that Cheng Jingzhou had been hit, but she didn't know where he was hit.
So when the boy came to report that Cheng Jingzhou had won the Huiyuan, Liu Ruolan stood up in surprise.
"Hurry up! Send the wedding money, and the wedding embassy will be coming soon, everything is ready."
"Yes, ma'am."
Cheng Jingzhou himself also prepared some money, but it was clear that he had no use for it.
Cheng Jingzhou knew that he performed well, but he was still a little surprised to win the membership.
After all, he is not an arrogant person like Yelang. He knows that there are many talented people in the capital, so how can he stand out?
What he was thinking was that his uncle also won the Fucheng Jieyuan exam back then and was ranked second in the palace examination, which was already very difficult.
If he could enter the first class, Cheng Jingzhou felt that his father and mother would jump for joy.
I never expected that I would win the first place in the examination. Now, the pressure seemed to come instantly.
If you don't get the first grade in the palace examination, you will be laughed at.
Of course, this kind of pressure only lasts for a moment.
Cheng Jingzhou has experienced a lot in these years. Whether it was Cheng Yuanyuan at home or some bumps and tumbles in his studies, he has grown a lot.
Especially that year when I accompanied Uncle Xie on the case, it seemed like a dream that he could personally participate in such a big case.
"Master Cheng, people are coming to congratulate you one after another. Please follow the younger one to the front hall quickly. The master and the eldest young master are not here, and the madam is too busy alone."
After the test, the restaurants in the capital were really lively for a while.
As the imperial examination approached, everything finally calmed down.
During the palace examination, Emperor Jingwen looked at the students below and was quite curious. He simply walked down and shuttled among the students.
Cheng Jingzhou was answering so excitedly that no one noticed that there was a bright yellow color around him.
When he realized it, he wanted to salute, but was pushed back hard by a big hand.
"You write well and answer the questions well. I also want to read your complete policy statement."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Emperor Jingwen's words were naturally enough to attract the attention of the students and officials present.
The results of the palace examination are usually released three days after the examination.
There will be a series of celebration activities such as Yijia parade.
The palace examination results were released using bright yellow silk, also known as the golden list.
Cheng Jingzhou felt uneasy and couldn't sleep well all night.
I slept well that night when I just came back from the exam, but when I thought about the results being released the next day, I couldn't sleep at all.
Xie Xiuwen took a rest today and happened to be waiting for the results with them at home.
Ping An went out early in the morning to guard the place. If he arrived late, he was afraid that he would not be able to find a good place, and it would be difficult to look at the list by then.
When Xie Rongzhao also came over, the hall was silent for a while.
Liu Ruolan wanted to say something, but was afraid that it would be inappropriate again. The main reason was that she didn't know what Cheng Jingzhou's ranking was. The pressure was obvious since he won the Huiyuan last time.
"Master, madam, I'm so happy!"
Ping An and a boy from Xie Mansion ran inside together. Ping An also grinned happily and shouted: "Congratulations, young master, the young master has won! He has won!"
Hearing this wave of shouting, Cheng Jingzhou felt no emotion at all. This shouting was not nonsense!
Under normal circumstances, as long as the Gongshi performs stably, he will win. So if you just shout that you have hit, what is the number of hits?
When the two of them ran into the front hall together, Ping An said happily: "Master, you have won the first prize!"
Liu Ruolan stood up immediately, and Xie Rongzhao on the side also looked at Cheng Jingzhou with a face of surprise. Did he win the first prize?
Xie Xiuwen looked at his boy and saw him nodding: "Sir, madam, Master Cheng has won the first prize. I saw it with my own eyes. If the boys hadn't run so fast, I guess this happy news would have arrived first."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of gongs and drums was heard over there.
So, this is really the first prize!
Cheng Jingzhou won the first prize, which is a very happy event!
Chen Jiaojiao was pregnant now, Liu Ruolan just let her rest assured to raise the baby, and then took care of the banquet herself.
Xie Xiuwen felt that Cheng Jingzhou was just his student after all, and he could also be regarded as his son-in-law, but he was not married yet, so it was not easy to make a big splash, so he decided to only invite some people he was close to, and then Cheng Jingzhou's friends.
This time, several of Cheng Jingzhou's classmates were awarded Jinshi, all of whom came from Mingshan Academy. Xie Xiuwen wanted to make his future path smoother, so he naturally wanted to help him make more connections.
Several of Cheng Jingzhou's classmates had long heard that he was Mr. Xie's son-in-law, but they didn't expect that the Xie family valued him so much and even prepared a banquet for him.
You all accepted the invitation and came here with pleasure. It is true that you also want to learn more about official knowledge from Mr. Xie.
What was unexpected was that His Highness the Fifth Prince also came.
In front of everyone, Li Huan raised his hands towards Cheng Jingzhou: "Congratulations to Senior Brother Cheng!"
After the excitement about Cheng Jingzhou's winning the top prize passed, Xie Xiuwen began to worry.
Because returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors was a great opportunity for him to return to his hometown and get married.
But Xie Xiuwen doesn’t want to marry a girl!
Isn't this embarrassing?
"Uncle, are you worried that I will be bad to my dear baby in the future?"
Xie Xiuwen shook his head. He naturally noticed the relationship between these two little ones.
Cheng Jingzhou has been protecting Guabao since he was little, and he has been exchanging letters, so there is no way he could treat Guabao badly.
He simply didn't want his daughter to get married.
Liu Ruolan was still quick-thinking: "You have two months of vacation to go back to worship your ancestors. If you want to get married, why don't you discuss it with your parents and see if they can come to the capital to arrange it in person? You have also seen the actual situation of our family. I You and your uncle can't leave, and there's no way they can go back to Gaoyang County to hold the wedding. If they can come, we won't object."
Before he finished speaking, he received a glare from Xie Xiuwen!
Who says he has no objection?
