Luo Hong took Li Yao, Wei Songbai and Lin Keyu out to see the list.

Lin Weizhong and Liu's father took the servant to open the shop. They prepared a lot of braised meat for today. The braised meat had been simmered in the pot all night yesterday. When the flavor was at its most rich, they put it all into wooden barrels and loaded them onto the back of the carriage.

It is mid-June now and the weather has become hot, so the braised meat can be sold directly in the shop.

If it is winter, a large pot will be set up in the shop, and charcoal fire will be lit to keep it warm to prevent excessive lard from freezing into a lump.

Today, the braised meat shop also prepared a lot of multi-grain steamed buns. Liu Caixia planned to make a kind of roujiamo, adding some chopped pork head in the middle of the multi-grain steamed bun and adding some chopped green onions for seasoning.

Today, there are a lot of people on the street, so it will definitely sell out. You can eat one and be half full, and still have room for other delicacies.

When Luo Hong and his companions reached the government office, they saw many people standing outside. There were two notice boards outside the government office. The list was quite long and two notice boards were not enough to post it, so the extra part was posted on the gray-white wall on the side of the government office.

People left one after another, some shouting happily: "I won, I won!"

Some people could not help but feel heartbroken and hang their heads: "Oh, why didn't I pass again... I tried my best and finished all the questions on the test paper? Why didn't I pass again..."

Luo Hong followed the crowd and moved to the front of the list.

Several people took the time to look at the list from the beginning.

That is to say, you need to check the list yourself for this exam, but you won’t need to do so for the subsequent academy exams. At that time, all candidates will leave their addresses and wait for the day of the announcement of the results. If your name is on the list, a special official will come to your door to announce the good news.

All one has to do is wait where they live.

Reading from front to back, the first name you see is Luo Hong's.

Luo Hong did quite well in the exam, ranking around 30th on the first page of the list.

"Uncle Luo, Uncle Luo,"

The other three saw it.

Lin Keyu even pulled Luo Hong's sleeve and shouted: "Grandpa Luo, you are so awesome!"

He looked even more excited than if he himself had made the list.

"I see! I see! Keep a low profile!"

Luo Hong was quite satisfied with his ranking. He had estimated that if he could rank around 30th in a prefecture, he would have a chance of passing the subsequent prefectural examinations.

“Keep looking forward.”

Several people's hearts were in their throats, they were so excited that they looked up one name at a time. Li Yao and Wei Songbai supported each other, their arms were pinched red with such strength, but they didn't feel anything.

"Ah! Uncle Luo!"

Wei Songbai screamed. Yes, everyone saw his name, around the 80th place.

When the first list was about to end, I finally found his name.

Although Li Yao was happy for him, he felt a little disappointed when he thought of himself and said, "Songbai, congratulations!"

"Thank you, Li Yao. You are more knowledgeable than me. You will definitely win this time. Even if the examiner has a preference, you should be able to pass. We will see later."

What else could Li Yao do? He could only keep looking and finally saw his name on the fifth list. Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief. He calculated that his name was probably around 300th. Fortunately, the enrollment was expanded this year. If not, he might not have gotten this ranking.

It seems that he needs to be more restrained in his writing and still cater to the current situation and the examiners' preferences.

"Brother Yao also made the list! Don't be discouraged. The fact that you made the list proves that you have no problem with your academics. It may just be that your essay did not receive the favor of the examiner."

Luo Hong comforted Li Yao and looked at Lin Keyu beside him.

The few people were relatively silent. They had just seen Chen Ziqi's name at the top of the list, but the others hadn't seen it.

Now there is also Lin Keyu, so we should continue reading.

The number of students enrolled has doubled this year, and everyone is hoping by chance that they will all be admitted.

A cheer from the front brought everyone back to their senses. It seemed that it was another candidate who saw his name and cheered out of joy.

that's nice!

"Grandpa Luo, let's move on. It's okay. I'm prepared. In fact, I may have made a typo in one of the dictation sections."

Luo Hong sighed, "You are such a heartless kid. Since you knew you made a mistake, why didn't you tell us?"

"I'm just afraid that you'll worry that I'm unhappy. It's okay. I can accept it. Besides, you all say I'm still young. I will work hard."

"Alright, alright, it's ok to just watch the fun! And help Wan Zhang and the others as well."

Luo Hong had no way to deal with him, so he patted Lin Keyu's head. If he made a typo, even if the enrollment was expanded, it would be very risky. He knew the process of marking the exam papers, and they would definitely pick out the people with standard answers first, and then combine the scores of the later exam papers to admit the students from high to low. Only when the number of people in the front was not enough, would several examiners make a comprehensive selection from the remaining people.

(I made them all up!)

Although the subsequent lists are similar to the previous ones, they always feel much longer until the end of the list.

Luo Hong sighed and said, "Wan Zhang was lucky to be the last one to pass the exam. It seems that the Shi brothers and Wu Daqiang also failed."

"Grandpa Luo, I've already told you it's okay. I'll take the exam again next year. If I can't pass next year, I'll take the year after next. If I can't pass the year after next, I'll take the year after next. I don't believe that I will fail the exam when I'm thirty!"

"Good boy, you have great ambitions. I will make a new study plan for you when we get back. In addition to finding you a better academy in the capital, I will also make a new study plan for you. You are still young. If you pass the entrance exam in three years, you may be able to go to high school."

"Yes, yes, yes. There are still three years after three years. Don't put so much pressure on me. Hahaha!"

Lin Keyu was only a little weak in classical Chinese, but he was definitely good at math, physics and chemistry. As long as he was willing to learn, there was nothing he couldn't learn.

"Come on, let's go back and tell Grandpa Wang and the others the good news. Three out of four people won the lottery, which makes us a very impressive family."

"Hahaha!"

Some are happy and some are sad.

It doesn’t matter if someone is not on the list.

The group walked happily towards the braised meat shop.

Some people squeeze in, some people squeeze out.

Some are happy, some are sad.

The crowds were huge.

And in order.

Although today is not the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month, it is the annual day for the release of exam results, and the street vendors can smell the business opportunity and spontaneously come out to set up stalls.

There is everything you need to eat, drink, play and use.

Lin Keyu also bought a lot of snacks with his pocket money.

When we arrived at the braised meat shop, everyone was half full.

Luo Hong also ate several kinds of snacks fed by Lin Keyu.

Not to mention, the snacks made by people at that time also have a unique flavor.

Although there are not many condiments, there is a simplicity and fragrance of the ingredients.
