The couple in the last days traveled to ancient times, farming and storing grain and meat in the war

Xiao Yan and the others had no choice but to let Xiao Ming go with them.

The two horses in the family were harnessed to the carriage and driven by the servants Xiao Jia and Jiang Yi respectively.

He also took Xu Ji and Xie Jing with him to the town.

The provincial examination was held in the provincial capital, and the results were naturally posted at the entrance of the examination hall in the provincial capital. Xiao Yan, Jiang Ningning and the others naturally left for the provincial capital by carriage before dawn.

In fact, you don't have to go to the provincial capital. If you really pass the exam, the provincial capital will send someone to notify the county, and the county will send someone to announce the good news to the town, the academy, and the candidate's home.

But that's no use in the end. I'll post it and see it in time.

Xiao Yan wasn't in a rush to see the results, mainly because Xu Ji and Xie Jing had asked him out two days ago, saying they wanted to go to the capital to see the results today. They said they wanted to see it for themselves, regardless of whether they passed the exam or not.

By the way, let’s take a look at who passed the imperial examination this year.

He was thinking that today was just a matter of grades, and Mr. Ji also said in advance that he would give him another day off today, so he didn't have to go to study military strategy today. So he didn't refuse and agreed to go together.

It just so happens that today is the day when Honghu Academy is closed, so Tao Cheng is also free.

Tao Cheng returned to his home in the county from the town academy last night. Knowing that Xiao Yan and the others were going to the provincial capital to check the results today, he told Xiao Yan and the others that he would also go to join in the fun.

So early this morning, Tao Cheng was waiting in the county.

After meeting up with Xiao Yan, Jiang Ningning and others, together with Tao Cheng's carriage, the three carriages drove towards the provincial capital.

Although Xiao Fuhua and others did not go together, they were waiting at home.

I can’t even take care of the soy product workshop business.

The last time Xiao Yan passed the exam, the clan rushed it out. This time, they were afraid that Xiao Yan would pass again, so they rushed it out again. So they secretly prepared firecrackers, big firecrackers and other things.

Xiao Yan and the others didn't know that the clan had prepared something.

Even the village chief did not go to the fields today and waited at home early in the morning.

The village chief also secretly prepared a long bamboo pole and a big firecracker at home.

There was also the village head, who had also postponed today's affairs and had secretly prepared firecrackers at home. Once he received the news that Xiao Yan had passed the imperial examination, he would immediately bring firecrackers to Xiao Yan's house to congratulate him.

In addition to secretly preparing firecrackers and other things, Xiao Fuhua also carried the key to the ancestral hall with him. Once Xiao Yanzhen passed the exam, he would immediately open the door of the ancestral hall.

Because everyone was paying attention to this matter, and other people in the village also knew that the results of the provincial examination would be out today, many people were upset and had no mood to go to the fields, so they planned to stay at home in the morning.

Even those working in the fields pricked up their ears, listening carefully to hear what was happening around them, wanting to know whether Xiao Yan had passed the exam or not.

Jiang Ningning and her friends arrived at the entrance of the examination hall at 6:15 AM, where many students and their families were already gathered.

The results have not been posted yet. They will be posted at noon.

As soon as the hour of Chen arrived, the door of the examination hall was immediately opened, and the officials came out with papers and other things to post them.

Tao Cheng asked his highly skilled servant, Zhang San, to protect him and quickly squeezed to the front. When he looked up, he saw Xiao Yan's name prominently listed at the top, "Jie Yuan".

"Ruoqing, are you crazy? You're number one again!" Tao Cheng shouted immediately.

Tao Cheng was also confused. Is this the difference between people? He didn't even pass the exam to become a scholar, while others passed the exam to become a juren, and even ranked first.

Doesn’t this also mean that it is very likely that you will pass the imperial examination and become a Gongshi or even a Jinshi?

Xiao Fushan, Tian, Sun, Jiang Shengcai, Xu Ji, and Xie Jing had not squeezed in yet. Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan did not squeeze at all and were standing at the back. Suddenly they heard Tao Cheng's words. Before anyone could react, Xiao Ming, who had squeezed to the middle, immediately turned around.

He was illiterate to begin with, and he squeezed in just to pave the way for Xu Ji and others who could read.

Now that everyone knows his cousin's grades, he naturally doesn't want to squeeze in. It's more important to go back and report the news first.

"I won! I won! And I'm the first place again!" Xiao Ming was so happy that he didn't know where he got the strength from. He squeezed it out and said happily to Xiao Fushan and the others.

"Ah, we really won?!" Xiao Fushan and the other three were overjoyed. Not only did they win, but they even won first place.

Jiang Ningning was also quite surprised.

Xiao Yan himself was also surprised.

Although he and his wife both thought he could pass the exam, but he was ranked first, what kind of concept was this...

Others were already shouting, "The winner is Xiao Yan, Xiao Ruoqing, from Dengping County, and Xiao Yan, Xiao Ruoqing, from Honghu Academy!"

"Dengping County? How many years has it been since Dengping County produced a juren? Not only did it produce one this year, but he also became the top juren?!" Everyone was stunned.

"Which academy is Honghu Academy? Why have I never heard of it?" someone else asked.

"I seem to have heard that the top scholar in Dengping County in the first half of this year was Xiao Yan, Xiao Ruoqing!"

"Yes, I think I heard that this person is the top scorer in Dengping County this year!"

"He actually got first place in the exam again? How old is he?"

"Seventeen, anyway, not yet eighteen."

"He's already the top scholar before he's even 18? He's won first place twice in a row?" Everyone was stunned. "In the history of Yuzhou, there has never been such a young top scholar!"

Upon learning that Xiao Yan had passed the imperial examination and even won the top spot, Xu Ji and Xie Jing were naturally very happy for Xiao Yan.

They knew that there was a huge gap between them and Xiao Yan, so they had long felt that if anyone among the three of them really passed the imperial examination, it would definitely be Xiao Yan.

But to be honest, they didn't expect Xiao Yan to be the first again.

After all, the competition was within the county before, but now it is within the entire Yuzhou state.

While they were happy for their friend, they were also naturally very surprised.

At this time, Tao Cheng shouted from the front again: "Xie Jing, Xie Jing, you also made it, 19th place!"

"Ah, Xie Jing, you won too!" Xu Ji happily grabbed Xie Jing and said.

Xie Jing was also extremely happy. He didn't expect that he could win.

However, Yuzhou only selected twenty Juren in this year's provincial examination, which means that among so many candidates this year, only twenty people passed the examination and became Juren.

It is much more difficult than the previous exam for scholar.

This is also the reason why the status of Juren is so high.

After Tao Cheng called out Xie Jing's ranking, he quickly looked down and saw that Xu Ji's name was not in the twentieth place. Without thinking too much, he subconsciously shouted again: "Xu Ji, Xu Ji, I didn't see your name. You didn't pass the exam, you didn't pass!"

Xu Ji was already very satisfied with himself for passing the examination to become a scholar this year. He did not expect to pass the examination to become a juren at all. He was just taking part. Therefore, he was not disappointed that he did not pass the examination to become a juren.

But Tao Cheng was shouting so loudly without any emotional intelligence, Xu Ji's face immediately turned red, and he quickly squeezed in and covered Tao Cheng's mouth.

"Shut up!" Xu Ji said with a red face.

Zhang San was speechless. His son was a brilliant mind when it came to helping with the family business, but his emotional intelligence was truly low.

Fortunately, he is well-educated and has learned a lot of etiquette in the academy, so even if his son has low emotional intelligence, it is sometimes difficult to tell.
