In a blink of an eye, it was the day for the results to be announced in September. The announcement of the results of the provincial examination happened to be the autumn when osmanthus flowers were in full bloom, so the provincial examination list was also called the osmanthus list.

The day before the results are announced, examiners must fill out a draft list first.

The chief examiner fills in the "red numbers" of the candidates to be admitted according to their rankings. After the draft list is completed, all officials participating in the examination gather in the inner hall to check the test papers together, verify the red numbers, and finally fill in the candidates' names and places of origin on the draft list according to their admission rankings.

After the draft list is completed, it is handed over to the clerk, who reads out the names of the candidates. After completing these procedures, the official imperial examination list can be filled in.

These cumbersome procedures are all to ensure the fairness of the imperial examinations.

On the second day, Shuntian Prefecture would hang up a list of honors in front of the government office.

On this day, the Shuntian Prefecture Office was the focus of the entire city. Most of the candidates or their families would come to see the list, so it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a sea of ​​people.

The best seats in the restaurant will be reserved by the nobles, and the casino will also announce who will be the champion of the day!

Su Xiao from the Su family is also a popular candidate in the casino. It’s not that they know Su Xiao very well, but they believe in his father’s family background, which is the best among the elite.

In the restaurant on the second floor, Nangong Li sat facing the street, with one leg slightly raised, his head supported by his hand, and a pot of Yuejianzui in the other hand.

It's just opposite the place where the results are announced.

He wanted to see how his future brother-in-law did in the exam, and looked very proud of it.

Everyone in the Su family was a little nervous, except Su Xiao, who remained calm and mature beyond his years.

Su Yuejian was originally worried that if he didn't do well in the exam, it would affect his self-confidence, but unexpectedly, he was not affected at all and everything was normal.

In fact, Su Xiao was very nervous inside. He wanted to get first place. He had always been first in the past.

The old lady had already prepared the reward money in advance. As long as he passed the exam, he would be the youngest juren since the founding of Jing State.

Mrs. Lu dressed up brightly and festively today, hoping to have a good start and also to calm her uneasy heart.

Su Yao acted as if my brother was the smartest person in this dynasty, and it seemed natural for him to pass the exam.

Even Su Yuzheng was pacing back and forth in the flower hall.

When the list is posted and the gongs and drums are struck, everyone's attention is immediately drawn to it.

"Get out of the way!"

"Let me see!"

"You stepped on me, don't you have eyes?"

"Let me see!"

"How can I not be here? Impossible, this is impossible..."

Among the people who came to see the list, there were old men in their seventies and young men in their twenties.

Some people, once they pass the imperial examination, their family life will change forever; some people, once they fail, become crazy.

There are also people who become more and more courageous after setbacks, and who are defeated over and over again, year after year. Their families can no longer afford to support such scholars who only spend money but have no income and have no hope.

There was no one as young as Su Xiao, and he didn't even look at the list because he was small and easily stepped on.

Anyway, the ranking will not be lost, so just wait at home.

At this time, Nangong Li on the second floor had already received the report from Zhao Gang. Among the top three names, Su Xiao ranked third and was the top scholar.

Nangong Li, who loves the third place, raised the corners of his mouth, as if the third place was more glorious than the first place Jieyuan and the second place Yayuan!

As expected, my brother-in-law is really amazing, he deserves the title of child prodigy!

"First place: Liu Yuanxi"

"Second place: Zhang Yuan"

"Third place: Su Xiao"

"Who is Su Xiao?"

"You haven't even heard of Su Xiao. He's the child prodigy of my Jing country!"

"Su Xiao is Princess Zhongli's younger brother!"

"I know this person. He is the twelve-year-old legitimate son of the Chief Censor!"

" Twelve years old?! You are kidding!

Liu Jieyuan is twenty-one this year, which is considered young and promising. Has this twelve-year-old boy been studying since his mother's womb?

Is there really such a god?"

"What did you say? The third place is only twelve years old?"

An old man who failed the exam grabbed the person in front of him who was talking by the front of his neck.

“Jesus Christ, twelve?

God, you treat me unfairly!!!"

The old man who failed the exam ran away in a mad manner.

"This is the youngest scholar in history!"

"That's right! I won the bet this time, and I can make a lot of money!"

Suddenly, Su Xiao, who ranked third, became the hot topic of discussion, even overshadowing Liu Jieyuan, who ranked first.

“I know him!

He was sitting next to me during the exam.

Every day I could hear food coming from his cell that made me salivate!

This person is so fucking annoying!"

"Su Xiao is our classmate at Bailu College. His delicious meals must have been made by his sister, the princess.

The food his sister cooked, once you eat it, you will never forget it!"

At this time, the Su family also received the good news.

The yamen runners who brought the good news played drums and music, and it was so lively that people on the street came to watch. Whose family was on the list?

"Look, they've entered the Su Mansion, Princess Zhongli's home!"

"There is only one scholar in their family, and he is a little boy. This is impossible!"

"Yes, it's their family. That child from the Su family passed the imperial examination!"

"I know, I know, I just looked at the list, and I got the third place!"

"Congratulations, Master Su. Congratulations, Master Su. Your son has won the third place in the imperial examination! He is the youngest candidate in this exam, and the youngest candidate in the history of this dynasty!"

The yamen runner led the messenger, rang the gong to announce the good news, and handed over a white piece of paper with Su Xiao's information on it.

Su Yuzheng took the good news and the IOU with great excitement, took out a bag of reward silver and handed it to the messenger, and invited the messenger to have a meal inside.

The person who brought the good news declined the offer, saying that he had to go to another house to report the good news.

At this time, the old lady with a rosy face came out to distribute reward money. The maids carried a large basket of money. It looked like a lot of money, but they did it just for fun and to share in the good mood. The common people watching on the street all rushed to grab the reward money.

Mrs. Lu was extremely excited. Although her son was raised by the old lady, he was a child who came out of her belly. The old lady had made great contributions, and she also made great contributions!

She doesn’t care whether he gets first place or not, her son is the most powerful scholar in the world!

If his son takes part in the imperial examination again next year, he will be able to make great progress!

In the future, the mother will surely be honored by her son!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu couldn't stop smiling.

She was generous for once, and gave each servant in the house a reward of a hundred dollars.

Su Yue saw that the servants in the house were all smiling happily after receiving the reward money. As an elder sister, she also wanted to show some appreciation, so she immediately took out some cloth from the warehouse and gave each servant in the house a portion.

The cloth was the best stuff, and the servants would keep it for future weddings, so they all cherished it very much.

Everyone in the family is happy.

In the past few days, in addition to the discussion of Su Xiao, even the Bailu Academy where he was located was also exposed.

The youngest scholar in history was the kid from their Bailu Academy.

Now Bailu Academy is completely remembered by all scholars!

There are countless people who try to find various ways and connections to get in through the back door.

"Little Brother" has become Su Xiao's business card.

Su Yuzheng has been walking with a breeze these days. Which court official would not envy him for having such a promising pair of children!

The daughter was granted the title of Princess and was personally commended by the Empress Dowager! The son was the youngest Juren in history.

As for Su Yuzheng, she is good at giving birth and raising children, and each one of them is more promising than the other!

Only the kid brother Su Xiao was a little unhappy. After Su Yuejian found out, she went to find him and asked, "Why are you unhappy?"
