At this time, the distant Kyoto was bustling with activity.

The moment the palace examination was over was the busiest time in Kyoto. Many people were discussing the high school students on the list, and the most talked about ones were the top three high school students.

However, many people are also paying attention to the other candidates. You know, they have already passed the palace examination, and the next step is to see the arrangements of the court.

If the tribute students are lucky enough, they can become officials, and it is a great joy to be able to stay in Kyoto.

If I fail to stay in Beijing and am sent abroad, as long as I make political achievements, I will have the opportunity to return to Kyoto in a few years. In short, the most difficult hurdle has been passed.

Lu Yanzhou stayed quietly in the room alone, without going out to listen to other people's discussions. At this moment, he was lowering his head, with a letter in his hand that had been written to be sent to the Lin family in Qingxi Village.

At this time, he was writing another letter, which he intended to write to Lin Yunchu.

But he thought about it for a long time and didn't know how to start. He remembered that before leaving, he just said that he would definitely pass the exam and asked Lin Yunchu to wait for his good news.

I have never revealed my feelings for Lin Yunchu, and now I suddenly have to write a letter to Lin Yunchu, but I really don't know how to start.

If he told her the truth, he was afraid of scaring her, not to mention that he had never told anyone about this.

Looking out the window as it gets darker, I hurriedly write two words: I miss you!

Lu Yanzhou's face flushed slightly. He folded the letter in half and put it into the envelope. He closed the door and went out to find someone to deliver the letter to Qingxi Village.

By this time, all the people who had reported the good news from Kyoto's middle and high schools had already informed the public, but it took three full days for the people who came to report the good news to arrive in Qingxi Village, thousands of miles away.

County Magistrate Cao was the first to receive the news, and because of his relationship with the Lin family, he had already sent someone to deliver a message.

At this time, not only the Lin family, but even the head of Qingxi Village and the elders were waiting at the Lu family with excitement for the person who came to announce the good news.

The gate of the Lu family compound was crowded with people from the village who came to watch the fun, all of them talking about this happy event.

"Have you heard? The Lu family kid has really been admitted to high school. I heard someone will be here to announce the good news soon."

A man was wearing a straw hat and holding a hoe in his hand. It was obvious that he was about to go to the fields, so he came to the Lu family to watch the fun.

When talking about this, his face was full of excitement. You know, let alone going to Beijing to take the high school entrance examination, even if he failed this time, Lu Yanzhou had already passed the examination and became a juren.

He is a juren, the first one to do so in their Qingxi Village. Now, among all the people in the surrounding area, the young man from the Lu family is the most promising.

Originally, Qingxi Village was already very famous because of the Lin family. Now that Lu Yanzhou has graduated from high school, if he becomes a high-ranking official in the future, this place will be his hometown.

Qingxi Village will probably be even more lively in the future. Didn’t I see that not only people from the Lin family but also the village head and elders came to the Lu family?

Now he was waiting for the person who brought the good news to come. The man's face flushed a little, and he rubbed his hands excitedly, looking towards the village entrance from time to time.

"Of course not. I also heard what the Lin family and the head of the village said just now. I'm afraid this matter cannot be wrong."

After all, Lu Yanzhou was from Qingxi Village and grew up in their eyes. When he walked out to his fellow villagers after high school, he had a proud look on his face.

Because of the Lin family's relationship, now when they go out and meet people from other villages, everyone greets them with a smile and asks them about the latest news in the village.

Everyone wanted to work in the Lin family workshop. Even if it was just temporary work during spring plowing and autumn harvest, there were countless people who came to them on their own initiative. If they were not from Qingxi Village, they would not have been able to get a job when the Lin family recruited people.

So now the people in Qingxi Village have understood that only when the entire village unites and listens to the headman's words together, will the entire village get better and better in the future.

Therefore, the people gathered in front of the Lu family compound today all had happy looks on their faces. If Lu Yanzhou could pass the high school entrance examination, they would be truly happy for him.

The Lu family might have an official in the future, which was a big deal. However, the person who announced the good news had not arrived yet, and the people and the elders in the yard were all stretching their necks to look outside.

Seeing this, the onlookers did not dare to step forward and just waited for the person who brought the good news to come.

"Wenshan, the county magistrate really did send someone to deliver a message to you, right? Why haven't you seen anyone bringing the good news yet?"

The head of the village was getting a little anxious waiting. If there weren't so many people around, he really wanted to stand up and rush to the village entrance to wait. Now he was really getting anxious just waiting here.

He never dared to think about Lu Yanzhou passing the imperial examination. Although Lu Yanzhou had passed the imperial examination before, this time he was going to Beijing to take the exam, and there were many talented people out there.

There was no telling how many people took part in the imperial examination. Even if one failed this time, having passed the examination before would have been a great joyous event for the entire Qingxi Village.

Today, Lin Wenshan came to his house and told him that he had passed the imperial examination. He almost fainted with joy. He did not expect that when he was the head of Qingxi Village, a scholar would be born in the village.

That is only available after passing the palace examination. If you are luckier, you can even be promoted to an official position, and you will be a high-ranking official in the future.

The head of the village was very anxious. The more he didn't hear any noise outside, the more anxious he became. He couldn't help but ask Lin Wenshan who was standing beside him, fearing that this might be a misunderstanding.

"No, uncle, don't worry. Someone under the county magistrate came to tell me personally. There's no mistake."

Father Lin was also a little anxious at this time, but he recognized the yamen runner, who was a subordinate of the county magistrate. This must be correct, and he was afraid that the person who brought the good news had not arrived yet.

"I guess it's because we're quite far away, and the person who brought the good news was delayed for a while. Let's wait a little longer, maybe they'll be here soon."

While comforting the village head, Lin Wenshan kept looking outside.

He put one hand into his pocket. This was the wedding money that Lin Yunchu had asked him to prepare. He would give it to the person who announced the good news later. He was nervous and afraid of losing it.

Lin Yunchu stood by, with a slight smile on her face and the corners of her mouth raised slightly. Lu Yanzhou really graduated from high school, and she was not surprised at all.

On weekdays, when Lu Yanzhou taught Lin Chang'an his lessons, she was often by his side. Lu Yanzhou passed the examination and became a scholar, and later a juren.

This shows his knowledge, and it is only a matter of time before he goes to high school.

She didn't know why, but ever since Lu Yanzhou left Qingxi Village and went to Beijing, she always thought of him from time to time, and the way he told her to wait for his good news before he left that day.

Lin Yunchu felt an inexplicable joy in her heart. She vaguely guessed the reason, but neither of them had explained it clearly.
