Disguised as a man: Watch me create a new dynasty

At this time, the families of other students around saw the grand display of the Yan family and couldn't help whispering to each other.

"Who is this family? With such a big scene, could it be that some important figure is taking an exam here?" a middle-aged man in plain clothes asked in a low voice.

"You don't know? This is a member of the Yan family. In recent years, the Yan family has been thriving in Jiuyou Prefecture. I heard that Yan Nansheng is very talented at a young age and has managed the family in perfect order." An old man next to him who knew a thing or two answered.

"I see. Judging from his attitude, he must be determined to win this provincial examination!" The middle-aged man nodded slightly, with envy in his eyes.

"Who knows? But judging from the temperament of this family, they must be confident about it." The old man stroked his beard, thoughtfully.

Old Master Xu shifted his gaze to the tightly closed gate of the Imperial Examination Hall. The person who was about to walk out of there was the future of the Yan family, the hope of the Yan family, and the person the Yan family was eagerly waiting for, the patriarch of the Yan family, Yan Nansheng.

For some reason, Mr. Xu suddenly felt proud. That person is also a descendant of the Xu family!

At this time, in an alley not far from the Imperial Examination Hall, Xie Yanli was dressed in a low-key manner, wearing a dark robe and a conical hat, standing quietly in the shadows.

His eyes were fixed on the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall, and his expression was slightly nervous.

The Xie family cannot openly come to welcome Yan Nansheng at this time, as they need to avoid suspicion.

But Xie Yanli couldn't control himself and wanted to see Yan Nansheng's condition with his own eyes.

Although he knew that with Yan Nansheng's physical condition, the nine-day and seven-night provincial examination would not be a problem for her, he was still worried because he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

"I don't know how she did in the exam. Is she able to cope these days?" Xie Yanli thought to himself, frowning slightly.

Thinking of his injuries that had not yet healed, Xie Yanli became even more worried.

"I must not let her find out that I'm here, otherwise she will worry again." Xie Yanli prayed silently in his heart, pacing back and forth unconsciously.

As time passed, the atmosphere at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall became increasingly tense, with everyone waiting for the tightly closed door to slowly open...

With a creaky sound, the heavy and ancient gate of the Imperial Examination Hall slowly opened.

The first to come out were the solemn and majestic officials. They marched in unison and quickly divided into two lines, spreading out on both sides of the gate. They were like two rows of upright green pines, majestic and solemn.

The moment the door opened, the crowd, which had been bustling and talking, suddenly became quiet.

Everyone seemed to be under a spell of immobilization. They held their breath, widened their eyes, and focused their gazes on the direction of the exit.

As the first student appeared, the crowd suddenly exploded.

"He's coming out! He's coming out! Look, whose scholar is coming out!" A middle-aged man in coarse clothes shouted at the top of his voice, his voice full of anticipation and anxiety.

"That's right. This child looks so thin. I wonder how much he has suffered in there!"

A gray-haired old man next to him shook his head and sighed, his eyes full of pity.

Some of the family members who were waiting at the door for the students to come out stood on tiptoe, stretched their necks, their eyes filled with concern and anxiety.

Some clenched their hands, their lips trembling slightly, and prayed silently in their hearts; others paced back and forth, their faces full of anxiety and uneasiness.

The students were all in low spirits, some were even extremely slovenly, far from the high spirits they had when they entered the Tribute Hall.

Some have messy hair, like a bird's nest.

Some of the clothes were ragged, covered with stains and wrinkles.

Some of them had bloodshot eyes and dark circles, as if they hadn't slept for several nights.

Their steps were unsteady, as if a gust of wind could blow them down.

"Son, you're finally out!" A lady in luxurious clothes, seeing her son's appearance, burst into tears instantly and rushed forward to hug him tightly.

"Look at you, you've become so thin!"

"Dad, I... I'm so tired..." A thin student said in a hoarse voice, threw himself into his father's arms, his body shaking constantly.

Yan Nansheng waited until the main force had left the gate before she slowly came out.

Her image and mental state are very different from those of the students who came out before her.

Her hair was neat, her face was clean, her eyes were clear and bright, and her steps were light and powerful, as if the few days in the tribute hall had not brought her too much fatigue.

This attracted everyone's attention. The students who were in the room closest to her looked at Yan Nansheng with complicated expressions.

Some of them had envy in their eyes, some were puzzled, and some even showed a hint of jealousy.

"Whose scholar is this? Why is he so different from others?"

"Is there any secret?"

But when faced with his family's curious questions about Yan Nansheng, he just waved his hand and signaled them to go home and talk later.

Everyone in the Yan family was very excited to see Yan Nansheng come out. Mo Qing came to her side immediately, took the backpack and food box, and followed her carefully.

Only then did Yan Nansheng walk over to his family.

Mrs. Zhang immediately took Yan Nansheng's hand, looked at him from left to right, and nodded, "My baby is still in good health. Look, he is still so energetic."

"How's it going? Are you tired? Let's go home! Grandma will make you your favorite fried chicken and French fries with ketchup!"

"Yes, yes, yes, go home first, go home first."

"It must be very stressful after so many days."

At this time, the parents around saw how haggard their children looked and they burst into tears with heartache.

He rushed forward and hugged the child tightly, repeating: "My son, you have suffered!"

Some parents asked about the test results anxiously, their eyes full of expectation and worry.

Some parents, seeing that their children were so tired, silently handed them water bottles and dry food so that their children could replenish their energy first.

When several young people from the Yan family's side branch saw Yan Nansheng coming out, they were very excited and wanted to squeeze to the front to talk to Yan Nansheng.

Their eyes were full of admiration, and they thought to themselves, "If they could be half as smart as Sheng'er, we would be satisfied."

They originally wanted to squeeze to the front and say a few words to her, but when they saw Yan Nansheng's slightly tired expression, they hesitated again.

I had to keep it to myself for now and wait until she had rested enough before visiting her home.

Everyone suppressed their excitement and quickly welcomed Yan Nansheng into the carriage.

The moment Yan Nansheng stepped onto the carriage and lifted the curtain, he glanced at the alley opposite, paused for a moment, and then stepped into the carriage.

Xie Yanli in the alley sighed deeply.

It’s over! Found!

However, seeing that Yan Nansheng was fine and did not look depressed, he felt relieved as he thought that he must have done well in the exam.

It turned and disappeared deep into the alley, leaving only the long and narrow alley, which seemed exceptionally quiet in the breeze.
