In the next few days, Lin Ting began to plan the clothing-making matters, and Shen Qingzhou's time was divided into two parts. During the day, he would go to the Tea Language Building to check the information collected by Wan Weiran.

Review the contents of the book in the evening and wait for the results to be announced.

After waiting for a long time, the results were finally announced. The place where the results were posted in the capital was crowded with people, all nervously crowding to see them.

If you fail the examination this time, you will have to wait another three years, and not everyone can afford to wait that long.

Shen Qingzhou took Lin Ting's hand and squeezed to the front of the crowd. Shen Qingzhou was so nervous that his palms were sweating.

I was afraid that I would fail the exam, so I looked back from the last place.

Lin Ting saw his name as soon as he looked up, but when he turned to look at Shen Qingzhou, he saw him looking anxiously for something.

She held back and let Shen Qingzhou see for himself. He studied hard every day, getting prickly heat in the summer and sores in the winter, and he never slacked off for a single day. This result was what he deserved.

After looking through more than half of the lists, Shen Qingzhou still didn't see his name. He felt a little flustered. It wasn't on the C list, nor on the B list...

When I read to the end of the list, I finally saw his name among the top scorers. The breath that had been weighing on my heart finally turned into a smile and was released.

"My lady, I won!"

After heaving a sigh of relief, Shen Qingzhou said this very calmly.

"Yes! You got it, you are the champion, Shen Qingzhou, you got it."

Lin Ting is going to celebrate at home tonight with some relatives and friends. Shen Qingzhou has passed the imperial examination and is a disciple of the emperor. As long as he passes the imperial examination and becomes a Jinshi in the palace examination next month, he will be able to become an official.

The imperial examination was very difficult. Among thousands of candidates, only a hundred or so passed the examination and became tribute scholars. The competition was so fierce.

"Don't block the front, come and see if we've got it!"

Lin Ting was behind them, and he didn't know who shouted this. Lin Ting pulled Shen Qingzhou away quickly.

After he finished reading it, he asked others to take a look as well. At the same time, Sun Chengwang also stood where the notice was posted and looked for his name three times, but he didn't see it.

"Impossible! I wrote so well, how could I not win?"

Especially when he saw that the champion was Shen Qingzhou, he was so angry that he clenched his fists and dug his nails into his flesh, and he couldn't even feel the pain.

Some were happy, some were crying, and some came from far away, but if they failed the exam, they had to pack up and go back, waiting for the next exam three years later.

Bailu and Xiaoman followed Lin Ting and the others. When they saw Shen Qingzhou passed the exam, they were really happy for Lin Ting.

"Madam, the results are out today, and the master has won the first place. The mansion will definitely be very lively tonight. Is there anything we need to prepare?"

Even if Lin Ting didn't invite anyone tonight, someone would definitely come to congratulate her, so she might as well call everyone she knew over.

"Let's go home first. When we get home, let Butler Zhou prepare it."

Today, those who passed the exam in Beijing set off a lot of fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate. Lin Ting couldn't be left out, so she asked Butler Zhou to buy some as well.

"Butler Zhou, we want to have a light and cheerful banquet tonight. In addition to the dishes on the banquet, please go buy a lamb. We will make a roasted whole lamb tonight.

We also bought some meat and grillable vegetables, so everyone can grill and eat as they please."

There are some business partners here tonight, and Lin Ting chose to add barbecue to the dishes in order to promote their Wushan peppers.

"Yes! I'll have someone go shopping for the things you arranged. By the way, Madam, is the guest list ready yet?"

Lin Ting turned his head and looked in the direction of the study: "I'll ask someone to deliver it later. Let's buy the things we need first."

"Yes!"

The house in Rongguang Lane was busy with lights and decorations. Neighbors passing by looked inside, knowing that someone in the family had passed the imperial examination.

Lin Ting returned to the study and looked at each invitation written by Shen Qingzhou himself.

"Shen Qingzhou, have you finished writing everything? Have you also written Han Yian's copy?"

General Han’s mansion has very strict maids and housekeepers. They take orders from General Han and generally do not let Han Yian leave the mansion.

Every time she went out, she was escaping, but today was different. Today, Lin Ting and the others wrote invitations, and the Han Mansion would let her out for this kind of banquet in the capital.

"Miss Han's is finished, as is Lord Yu's. I've also written Lord Cui's. I just don't know if Lord Cui has time to come over."

Lin Ting put the invitations away and sent them to the servant later.

"Send it over first. You're the main character today. Are you planning to meet the guests dressed like this?"

Shen Qingzhou stood up and looked at his clothes today. He was wearing a simple robe, which was indeed inappropriate for meeting guests.

"Then I'll go change into something else. Thank you for your hard work today."

Shen Qingzhou kissed Lin Ting on the forehead and turned to go to the main house to change clothes.

Lin Ting felt warm in his heart, but he still wiped his forehead with pretended disgust, checked the invitation in his hand again, and then handed it to Bai Lu.

The first people to arrive in the evening were Lin Lin and Qu Yuanxun's family, and even Mrs. Qu came along.

"Lin Ting, Qingzhou, congratulations!"

Lin Ting and Shen Qingzhou were busy in the yard, while the housekeeper Zhou was helping to greet the guests.

"Mrs. Qu, please come and sit down. It will be a lively occasion if you come here today."

Mrs. Qu was in good health, and Lin Lin was about to give birth, so she felt at ease having her stay by Lin Lin's side.

"You guys are making such a fuss here today, so of course an old lady like me has to come."

Lin Ting also walked to Lin Lin's side and helped her to sit down. In about half a month, she might give birth at any time.

Lin Ting heard that in order to bless Lin Lin with a safe delivery, her brother-in-law went to the temple to ask for a Buddha statue and recited scriptures every day, just praying for Lin Lin's safety.

"Lin Ting, go and greet the guests. We are a family, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Okay, then sister, brother-in-law, and Madam Qu, I'm going to go see the other guests first."

After Lin heard this, Mrs. Shang and other partners also came over to greet Lin Lin.

"Mrs. Qu, long time no see. You're going to give birth soon, right? Judging from your pregnancy, this baby will definitely be a big fat boy."

Lin Lin gently stroked her belly and said, "We'll know after the baby is born."

Mrs. Qu felt very happy to be praised like this. She liked both her grandson and granddaughter.

More and more people came. Han Yian came in rudely from the gate, holding up the hem of her skirt, with a lot of jewelry and hairpins on her body and head.

It was originally a formal outfit, but on Han Yian, it was like a walking pendant.

"Lin Ting, come and save me. It's really uncomfortable to be dressed like this."

Han Yian came out like this, and she would have to go back like this later, otherwise she would not be able to shut up the maids in the mansion.

She was finally invited to a formal banquet, but her family insisted that she dress like this before they would let her go out.

"Yian, you today..."

Lin Ting thought her appearance was very funny, not ugly, but it didn't match her temperament.
