After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Chapter 536: Unsure

Two days later, the test results came out.

The list contained the names of one hundred and twenty people.

Qin Yan's name was the first one, and Fang Nanzhi saw it at a glance.

The second place is surnamed Liang.

Liang Tengyue.

"How could this be? Who is Qin Yan? I've never heard of him, and he actually won first place."

"He's second place. Isn't Mr. Liang a Jiangnan genius? How come he was outshined by a young man?"

"I've heard of the third-place winner, the Liu family. He's quite talented. When the casino opened its lottery, I bet on him for first place, and I picked him. Unfortunately, I'm going to lose money."

"Brother, you really have no vision. Liu Yanming is not even a provincial governor, so why did you choose him? For me, I would choose Master Liang."

"Bah! Didn't Liang only get second place? I think you're going to lose this round too."

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, don't pick on me! I still have the retest to take. What if Young Master Liang does really well in the second round?"

The two of them were almost fighting as they talked, making a lot of noise.

Everyone heard it.

A young man in his twenties, wearing a moon-white brocade robe, looked unhappy.

He glanced at Qin Yan not far away with contempt, and walked away with his chin held high.

Qin Yan looked puzzled.

"That's Liang Tengyue. He's very arrogant. He even held a banquet before the exam and announced that he would single-handedly seek advice from the students of Huainan Prefecture and Xin'an Prefecture."

"The people who went there at the time really couldn't suppress him, so he was very proud for a while."

No one knew when Liu Yanming came over. He was in a good mood and didn't seem to care about what others were saying.

"Oh."

Qin Yan nodded and looked away.

Liu Yanming looked at him with interest, surprised by his reaction.

"That's it? It's gone?"

"Aren't you going to go and make some tough talk and compete with him?"

Young people, shouldn’t you be a little impulsive and act on impulse?

Qin Yan couldn't stand the look of anticipation on his face.

"I have always spoken with strength, but Brother Liu, you remain calm despite being criticized like this. I admire you."

Liu Yanming's mouth twitched slightly, and Qin Yan became more and more sinister.

He covered his mouth and coughed lightly, adjusting his expression: "Brother Qin, I am not moved by external things. I, Liu, am also indifferent to fame and fortune. Therefore, we have similar personalities and can become good friends."

He Shuyuan had just walked over when he heard these two sentences, and turned around and went back.

What a shameless couple!

Qin Shucai also made the list, ranking tenth from the bottom.

Bai Jiayu was ranked 24th. He came over happily and asked a few people to have a meal together after the re-examination.

Qin Yan and the others agreed.

After saying goodbye to each other, they went back to recuperate.

At the inn, Qin Gaofei hesitated for a long time before saying, "Shucai, Dad was too pushy in the past, but now he's come to terms with it. Your health is more important, so why don't we just skip the second exam?"

Qin Shucai hasn't had a fever in the past few days, but he is still weak and has a poor appetite. What if he gets sick again after working hard in the examination room for a whole day?

This is his only precious son.

Qin Shucai said gently but firmly: "Dad, I know my health condition well. I want to go."

"It's just one day. I'll take some more medicine when I get out."

How could he give up? He had finally made the list.

In matters like the imperial examination, luck and talent are equally important.

Qin Gaofei wanted to persuade him again.

Qin Shucai said, "Dad, I don't want to disappoint you and grandpa. It's not easy for my family to support my studies for so many years. I have been waiting for these few days. I must prove myself."

Qin Gaofei had nothing to say.

He knew his son and knew that he was actually quite strong.

I always get sick during exams, maybe it’s because of mental stress or something.

The father and son looked at each other in silence for a long time, and finally Qin Gaofei silently helped his son pack his things.

The waiter knocked on the door and said, "Gentlemen, there is a young lady named Fang who asked me to bring her up."

He was holding a small porcelain vase in his hand.

Qin Shucai took it, opened the porcelain bottle, and poured out a few pills from it.

This is what Fang Nanzhi made specially after staying up late last night. You can’t bring the decoction into the exam room, but you can bring the small pills.

The effect of making pills is slightly worse than that of decoction, but it is better than nothing.

Qin Shucai held the porcelain bottle tightly, opened the window and looked down.

Fang Nanzhi waved at him and left.

She is busy and has a lot of homework to do, so she needs to hurry up.

Qin Shucai was somewhat moved.

The next morning, the re-examination officially began, and the candidates entered one by one with great dignity.

Among them, Liang Tengyue walked with the Eight Direction Steps, holding his head high, and looked proud like a big rooster patrolling his territory.

Fang Nanzhi was stunned: "Dad, is his cervical spine not in good condition?"

Fang Tong took a quick look and whispered, "Maybe he's not in the right place."

The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled secretly.

Qian Fengping was speechless.

The three of them had some free time today, so they went shopping.

I was originally going to rent a house for a month while I waited for the results of the college entrance examination to come out.

But Qin Yan said there was no need, the good news would be delivered to the village as soon as possible.

They returned to the village and waited for the same.

Fang Tong agreed immediately.

Of course, his most glorious time was when he was in the village. He was happy just thinking about the envious eyes of everyone.

So I'll leave the day after tomorrow.

I have a dinner party with Bai Jiayu tomorrow at noon, and I will go see Wei Ting in the afternoon.

After waiting anxiously for a whole day, the door to the examination hall was finally opened.

Qin Yan was a little tired, his brows furrowed. "This time the questions are a bit difficult."

A legal question involving how to deal with nobles killing commoners and aristocratic families occupying land according to the law?

Especially the latter, a wrong answer would offend people.

Qin Yan thought about it for a long time and finally wrote down his true thoughts.

The rest depends on the examiner's opinion.

If he met an examiner who was close to aristocratic families, he might even get his paper rejected.

Fang Tong heard this and asked hurriedly, "Did you have enough for lunch?"

Qin Yan paused and said helplessly: "I'm done. I ate the pancakes my mother made, soaked them in soy milk, and ate them with braised beef in soy sauce."

"That's good. Even if I didn't perform well, at least I took care of myself. At least one thing I did well is enough."

Fang Tong said with a smile.

In fact, he was also feeling disappointed. From what his son had said, he didn't do well in the exam, so his plan to show off when he returned to the village was ruined.

But you can't make the child sad.

"Brother, you are still young, keep up the good work." Fang Nanzhi patted his shoulder with her small hand to comfort him.

"Actually, not necessarily..." Qin Yan opened his mouth.

"Son, it's okay. The questions this time are difficult. We can study them later." Qian Fengping also comforted him.

The three of them spoke as if he had absolutely no chance.

In fact, it is not their fault. They know Qin Yan. Although he does not like to show off, he never belittles himself. If he says the questions are difficult, he probably won't know how to answer them. He is really not sure.
