Song Yan crossed her legs and hummed a little song, truly interpreting what it means to "sing as soon as you turn over a new leaf."

Shu Changyu looked up at Song Yan's boastful look, sneered, and reached out to pinch his cheek: "Are you so happy to see me serving you?"

Song Yan slapped Shu Changyu's hand away and said with a groan: "That's natural. I used to be the one who revolved around you. Now the situation has changed. Hahaha."

He continued to hum the tuneless little song, swinging his legs even more happily.

At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door.

"Master." It was An Wu's voice.

Shu Changyu's voice suddenly turned cold: "What's the matter?"

An Wu whispered outside the door: "There is an emergency and the master needs to handle it."

Shu Changyu frowned slightly and turned to look at Song Yan: "Wait for me here first, I'll be back soon."

Song Yan's smile faded a little and she nodded: "Okay, go and come back soon."

Shu Changyu opened the door and went to the study next door.

The room suddenly became quiet and Song Yan's legs stopped shaking. He then remembered that he had slept in Shu Changyu's main room last night and did not get up for breakfast this morning.

I don’t know what Erlin will think.

It's quite embarrassing.

Forget it, as long as he is thick-skinned enough, he can just pretend nothing happened.

Shu Changyu went out again in the evening, and Song Yan and Song Zhengdu had dinner together that night.

Song Yan greeted Song Zhengdu calmly.

Song Zhengdu shouted, "Brother."

Then he asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Song Yan: “Ah?”

He didn't react to Song Zhengdu's words for a moment. After a moment's pause, he coughed twice and said, "Much better. You don't need to worry."

Song Zhengdu picked up a piece of food for Song Yan and said, "I didn't see my elder brother come out for breakfast today, so I asked someone and found out that he was not feeling well."

"Brother, you must take care of yourself." Song Zhengdu looked at Song Yan with concern.

Song Yan rubbed his nose guiltily. He was not feeling unwell, but had been fooling around with Shu Changyu all morning.

But he couldn't tell the truth.

I could only say vaguely: "Maybe I haven't had enough rest recently, so I'm a little tired, it's no problem."

Song Zhengdu was still worried: "Brother, you must rest well and stop working yourself to death. If you need anything, call me anytime."

Song Yan nodded: "Okay, I understand."

He then stayed in the county town for three days. On the fourth day, Song Yan estimated that it was time to get the results.

On this day, Song Yan and others arrived at the place where the results were announced early in the morning.

Shu Changyu happened to have something to do, so he didn't come and asked Eleven to send them outside the examination room.

At this time, the place where the results were announced was already crowded with people, bustling like a busy city.

Song Yan got off the carriage and looked at the crowd: "There are too many people here."

Song Zhengdu said, "Brother, why don't you wait in the carriage for a while? I'll go in and take a look myself."

"Let's not do that." Song Yan raised her hand to measure his height. "With your height, I'm afraid you'll be squeezed and lost in a moment."

"Brother." Song Zhengdu looked helpless.

"Hahaha." Song Yan laughed and reached out to rub Song Zhengdu's head. "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Since there are so many people here, let's wait."

"Zhengdu!" A call came from behind.

Song Zhengdu turned around when he heard the voice, and saw Zhou Teng and others running towards him with happy faces.

"Why did you come so early?" Zhou Teng asked breathlessly.

Song Zhengdu said: "My elder brother and I were also worried about the results, so we came here early."

Zhou Teng nodded: "Me too, I'm feeling very nervous, I might as well come earlier and see the result."

"Yeah," a classmate next to him interrupted, "It would be better to know the result sooner so that we can have a better idea of ​​what to expect."

Zhou Teng glanced at the crowd and said with emotion: "There are too many people here. I don't know when I can see the list."

Song Yan looked at these energetic young people and said with a smile: "Since we are here, we should make the best of it. Be patient and wait."

Song Zhengdu glanced around and asked, "Where's Brother Gu?"

Zhou Teng said: "Gu Qianfan went back home the next day after taking the exam. It seems that there was something urgent at home that he needed to go back to deal with."

"However, before he left, he told us to inform him as soon as the results came out."

Song Zhengdu just asked politely and didn't take the matter too seriously.

Song Yan remembered a plot in the original work of the imperial examination. During the half month of the county examination, the Gu family was plotted against and the family property was in jeopardy.

In Xijiang Town, the Gu family is considered a well-known merchant, making a living by running a medicinal materials business.

But just half a month ago, an elderly couple carried their dead son to the door of Gu's pharmacy, crying that the drugs sold by the Gu family were fake and that people had died after taking them.

As a result, the Gu family's reputation plummeted.

The pharmacy, which was once bustling with customers, is now deserted.

Gu Qianfan received the news after he finished his last exam, so he hurried back home.

He sought help from a noble person and found out the truth. It turned out that it was Gu family's rival who was secretly doing bad things.

They bribed the old couple and forged evidence that the Gu family was selling fake medicine, attempting to bring down the Gu family and monopolize the medicinal materials market in Xijiang Town.

In the end, the Gu family was naturally vindicated.

The old couple also got their retribution and both fell into the water and died not long after.

Ever since she found out that Shu Changyu was a man, Song Yan never took the original book seriously again. It was a scam.

So at this moment, he just recalled this plot and put it out of his mind.

A few people chatted and time passed by unknowingly.

As the sun rose higher in the sky, finally, the officials responsible for posting the results appeared, holding a long list in their hands.

There was an immediate commotion among the crowd, and everyone rushed forward, wanting to see the list first.

Song Yan and the others were also pushed forward a few steps by the crowd behind them. He tried to keep his footing, his eyes fixed on the list in the clerk's hand.

The officials stood in front of the wall. One of them took out a brush, dipped it in paste, and carefully smeared it on the wall.

Another clerk opened the list and carefully posted it on the glued wall.

The moment the list was completely posted on the wall, there was a burst of exclamations from the crowd.

No one could hold back any longer and rushed forward. Song Yan and Song Zhengdu were also pushed around by the crowd.

Song Yan tried hard to keep steady, protecting Song Zhengdu while trying to see the contents on the list clearly.

Song Zhengdu stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to look at the list.

But the crowd was too crowded and he could only see a sea of ​​heads.

Song Yan tightly held Song Zhengdu's arm and said loudly, "Zhengdu, don't be anxious. Wait until the crowd disperses a little before watching."

Song Zhengdu calmly responded, "Okay."

"Who is the first suspect in the case?" someone suddenly asked loudly.

The student standing at the front looked up and saw the three words "Song Zhengdu" ranked first.

"It's... it's Song Zhengdu!"
