Yang didn't care about him and wasn't angry. She knew his temper and knew he was doing it for the clan.

With a turn, Yang fell asleep again.

……

The next day, Xiao Yan arrived at the county in his family's carriage before dawn and helped sell wraps and grilled sausages at a big stall.

The small stall was too small and there was no room for him to stand. Besides, the small stall didn't sell wraps in the morning, only grilled sausages. Tian and Xiao Fushan could handle it alone, so he naturally helped at the big stall.

After the morning market, the big stalls were finally empty, and Xiao Yan planned to go to the entrance of the examination hall to check his results.

"I'll go with you," Jiang Ningning said. She was free anyway.

Xiao Yan naturally had no objection.

Jiang Shengcai and Sun had no objection, so Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan went to the entrance of the examination room.

However, he deliberately passed by the second most prosperous street and said something to Tian and Xiao Fushan who were working at the stall so that they wouldn't worry about him.

"Uncle, aunt, let's go and see the results." Jiang Ningning said.

"Oh, okay, okay." Tian and Xiao Fushan were thinking about this matter, wondering whether their son had gone. Now that they saw Jiang Ningning accompanying Xiao Yan, they were naturally very happy.

In the past, my son would check his grades alone, but now there is someone with him. Even if he fails the exam again, he will have someone to talk to and won’t be so sad.

But still worried about their son being upset, Tian and Xiao Fushan both said, "Xiao Yan, it really doesn't matter if you don't pass the exam."

"Yeah, I know." Xiao Yan responded.

Seeing their son's current appearance was no different from usual, and that he was really open-minded, Tian and Xiao Fushan were no longer worried: "Then go quickly, go quickly."

"Yeah." Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan both agreed, and then continued to walk towards the examination room.

When they were a little further away from the stall, Jiang Ningning chuckled softly, "Everyone thought you wouldn't pass. If you did, it would be a huge surprise. They'd be jumping for joy."

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "I hope I can really make them that happy. This way we can save ourselves some trouble."

After all, once you pass the exam to become a scholar, it means you are one step closer to power.

It also means that there is no need to change the route, and this road can still be used.

When Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan came to the examination room, many students had already gathered at the entrance.

Almost all the students who took the exam have already arrived and are waiting for the results to be posted.

Xu Ji, Xie Jing and others stood together.

Tao Cheng and his servants also stood with them.

Tao Cheng had a folding fan stuck in his waist and was gnawing on a big chicken leg in his hand.

Xu Ji, Xie Jing and the others hadn't originally intended to stand with Tao Cheng; it was Tao Cheng who came over on his own. They moved aside, and Tao Cheng also moved aside and followed.

Xu Ji, Xie Jing and others had no choice but to let Tao Cheng stand with them.

Tao Cheng said vaguely: "Where's Xiao Ruoqing? Why don't I see him? My father told me to play with him more and less with Cao Feng and the others."

Xu Ji, Xie Jing and others then realized that Tao Cheng was standing with them and was actually looking for Xiao Yan.

Cao Feng and the others were not far away. Their father knew clearly that they would not pass the exam, but he still sent them here, dreaming that they might pass.

Hearing Tao Cheng's words, Cao Feng and the others gritted their teeth.

What does that Mr. Tao mean!

Once they get angry, unpleasant words come out of their mouths.

Cao Feng and the others came over and said, "The results are almost posted, and there's still no sign of you. You must have known you wouldn't pass, so you just didn't come."

Xu Ji said, "What? Yesterday I asked him to come with me. His family said that he has been taking Mr. Ji's martial arts lessons every day since he finished his exams. If he didn't come today, he must still be taking martial arts lessons."

Xie Jing and the others met at the entrance of the academy. They came to the county with Xu Ji, so naturally they had already known all this from Xu Ji.

At this moment, Xie Jing and the others naturally joined in.

Especially Xie Jing: "Ruoqing didn't come, there must be a reason, but judging by his current temperament, it definitely wasn't because he failed the exam."

Cao Feng sneered, "He's really giving up. He's going to take martial arts classes. He's planning to take the civil service exam, yet he's taking martial arts classes. Hahahaha."

Doesn't this clearly show that you know you just can't pass the exam, so you won't work hard on the civil service exam anymore? Was I right before?

You are still protecting him, haha.

That’s right, it sounds much better to say that you didn’t try hard enough and therefore failed the exam than to say that you tried very hard but still failed.”

Xu Ji, Xie Jing and others were so angry that they didn't know what to say.

Only Tao Cheng scratched his head and said in confusion: "Then we failed the exam, is it because we worked hard or not hard enough?"

Cao Feng and others who were simply stupid: "!!!"

"Tao Dabao!!!" Cao Feng and the others all shouted.

"Puchi." Xu Ji, Xie Jing and others all laughed out loud.

Seeing their young master open his mouth again, fearing that his straightforward nature might lead to him uttering something even more irritating, Tao Cheng's highly skilled servant, Zhang San, hurriedly said, "Look, the results are in!"

After being reminded by Zhang San, everyone realized that the door of the examination room was open, and several officials came out with papers with the names of this year's new scholars, glue and other things.

At first, the officers blocked everyone's way and prevented them from getting too close to the place where the papers were posted. It was not until they were all posted that two officers were left guarding the place, one on each side, and everyone was able to squeeze forward and find their own names on the papers.

Few people dare to hope to be the first in the exam, and many people start looking from the last one in the new exam.

"Qingli, Qingli, you got the win, the last one!" The classmate standing next to Xu Ji shouted as soon as he saw Xu Ji's name.

Xu Ji was also stunned. Even though he was ranked last, he still passed the exam.

He couldn't even make it onto this list before.

"Ah, I passed the exam, I passed the exam!" Xu Jixi exclaimed.

"Ah, Duanyu, you also passed the exam! You ranked sixth! Ah, you are awesome!" Someone also found out that Xie Jing passed the exam.

Xie Jing didn't expect that he could actually get sixth place. While he was happy, tears suddenly appeared in his eyes.

It would be great if my sister could see him pass the exam.

Although Cao Feng and the others knew that they would not pass the exam, they still looked at the list. When they saw that Xu Ji passed, they rolled their eyes and continued looking forward.

When they heard that Xie Jing passed the exam, they didn't care.

They just started from the last one and went forward, looking for Xiao Yan's name.

Although there were so many people taking the exam this time, only fifty people were able to make the list and pass the examination to become scholars.

But when they saw the 20th place, they still hadn't seen Xiao Yan's name, so they were even more certain that Xiao Yan would not pass the exam this time.

I couldn't help but feel even more proud.

Even if they are stupid, even if Xiao Yan is smart, so what? He will still be the same as them and will not be able to pass the exam to become a scholar.
