The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

The next day, the county examination results were announced.

The county examination system of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not very strict. Whether one had qualified for the prefectural examination was actually known when the results were released, so people were not so nervous or anxious about the announcement of the results. However, precisely because of this, it was not easy to get a good ranking.

Early in the morning, Lin Qingchen and Xie Daolin ran to the courtyard to find Chu Ning'an.

"Brother Ning An, hurry up, let's go to Tianxiang Tower to check the list." Lin Qingchen's slightly erratic personality made him look a little childish. "If we go too late, there won't be a good seat. Hurry up."

"It's the same if you wait at home. Brother Qingchen, do you want to go to Tianxiang Tower to join in the fun?" Chu Ning'an revealed his little thoughts in one sentence.

"You really understand him. He is the kind of person who always goes wherever there is excitement." Xie Daolin immediately added.

Brother Ning An is really good at judging people. We've only known each other for a few days, but he already knows this guy's personality very well. Smart people are always better than others at everything.

"You sound like you two really don't want to go," he said in a huff. "A lot of students are gathered there. We're all in the same class, so it'd be nice to get to know each other."

The three of them walked out the door.

Tianxiang Tower is located on the main street, only one street away from the county government office. Officials delivering good news usually have to pass by it, so over the years, candidates taking the county examinations would gather here to wait for the results.

When the three of them arrived, Tianxiang Tower was already crowded. It was said that the Tianzihao private room on the second floor had been booked half a month ago at ten times the usual price. At this moment, the people gathered in the lobby were all poor students who rarely came close to rich young men.

After the invitation of County Magistrate Xu, Chu Ning'an became famous in Pingyang County for one of his poems. Today, as soon as he walked into Tianxiang Tower, he was recognized. "Brother Chu, are you also here to wait for the announcement of the results? There are still seats here. Come and sit together." A thin and tall student invited him.

"Thank you." Chu Ning'an clasped his fists and bowed. Just as he was about to walk over, he heard someone calling him, "Mr. Chu, Shopkeeper Qin knows that you participated in this county exam, so he specially reserved the Lanyue Pavilion for you and Mr. Meng."

This sentence was like a huge rock hitting the water, causing thousands of waves. The people in the lobby did not know the layout of Tianxiang Tower, they were just simply curious about Chu Ning'an's background. Someone actually reserved a private room for him?

But the voice was so loud that everyone in the No. 1 private room upstairs could hear it. Most of them knew about Lanyue Pavilion, and that you couldn't get in just by having money. This Chu Ning'an was no ordinary person!

"Thank you, Manager Qin. I will just wait for the results in the lobby with all the other classmates." Chu Ning'an declined politely. He didn't want to be too special, but with this incident, it was impossible for him not to leave his name among the students.

The waiter didn't say much, just bowed and left.

Chu Ning'an and the other two came to the empty seats and chatted with the students.

Soon, a noisy voice came from the street, "Master Zhang Shengyan from Lanping Town has won the tenth place in this county exam. Congratulations, Mr. Zhang."

A servant ran in excitedly and rushed up to the second floor, "Young Master passed the high school entrance exam and ranked in the top ten."

There was another commotion upstairs, with congratulations and humble thanks ringing out.

......

The lists were announced one after another, and these names were all unfamiliar to Chu Ning'an.

"Master Xie Daolin of Yunlai Town has won the sixth place in this county exam. Congratulations to Xie Tongsheng."

Finally, he heard the names of the people present, and everyone congratulated him, which made Xie Daolin less excited and a little embarrassed.

"Congratulations, Brother Daolin." Chu Ning'an said sincerely.

"You're amazing! Your results are so good." Lin Qingchen was rarely happy for him. Before he could finish his words, he heard, "Mr. Lin Qingchen from Yunlai Town has won fifth place in this county exam. Congratulations, Mr. Lin."

The sudden appearance of two students who were close to the top of the list in the hall caused even more of a sensation.

Congratulations came one after another, and occasionally there would be a few sarcastic remarks, but since the people involved were happy, no one cared.

"Didn't that Chu Ning'an steal the show at the county government office? How come he's not on the list?" A disdainful voice faintly rang out from upstairs. "Hmph, I don't know how he managed to fool the owner of Tianxiang Tower. He even reserved Lanyue Pavilion for him. He's truly clueless."

Everyone downstairs looked at each other in confusion, and then looked at Chu Ning'an at the same time.

Chu Ning'an acted as if he didn't hear it. He drank his tea by himself with no expression on his face.

There was a constant stream of chanting outside, but the names were unfamiliar, so no one got too excited.

"The first name of the case has been revealed."

"The first name of the case has been revealed."

The crowd outside was in an uproar.

Ah Xi also ran in excitedly, "Young Master passed the exam, Young Master first..." But before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the announcement outside, "Young Master Chu Ning'an from Kunyang Town won the first place in this county exam. Congratulations to Chu Anshou."
