After becoming the villain's eldest sister, I take charge of the whole family

Xie Linghe himself was also very happy.

"I'll take you to a restaurant in town tomorrow."

Everyone cheered:

"Oh~"

"Great."

"..."

……

A few more days passed.

night.

Xie Linghe was reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms. When he saw the scene where the Prime Minister died, he was so sad that tears filled his eyes.

At this time.

The system's voice sounded: "Congratulations to the host for unlocking the provincial examination. The reward is two thousand taels of silver."

Xie Linghe's mind suddenly buzzed, and his eyes widened: "Two thousand taels?!"

"How much is the reward for the provincial examination?"

"Yes, it's one thousand taels."

"So those two thousand taels... Ha, Xie Boyuan got first place?!"

After figuring it out, she immediately threw away the novel in her hand and jumped up happily on the bed.

"Two thousand taels, two thousand taels... la la la la ~ ~"

For example, one penny is equivalent to one dollar in modern times, and two thousand taels is two million yuan.

Even in modern times, it is a considerable sum.

now.

Two thousand taels could buy a house in the capital, and there would be enough money left to buy a few servants, allowing you to live a rich life in the capital.

This is enough to show how valuable two thousand taels is.

This excitement lasted until the morning, when Xie Zhongji and the other two had already finished their leave and returned to school.

Worth to talk about.

Xie Jijun can go to the county school to study.

However, he asked Master Liu and learned that the provincial examination would be held in three years, so there was no need to rush. He planned to go to the county school with his two brothers next year.

Back to the topic.

Because he was too excited yesterday, Xie Linghe tossed and turned until dawn before falling asleep, so he got up late.

now.

She eats alone.

Xie Lingfen was feeding her daughter, while Xie Lingai was teasing her niece. Seeing the bright smile on her face, the two looked at each other.

Xie Lingai asked curiously, "Sister, what good thing happened? Why are you smiling so happily?"

"Haha."

Xie Linghe smiled before he spoke, and directly took out two silver ingots from his pocket: "Okay, one ingot for each of you, for your pocket money."

Both of them were shocked.

This ingot of silver weighs a full five taels of silver.

Xie Lingai quickly shook her head: "Sister, it's too much."

Xie Lingfen nodded.

Xie Linghe forcefully grabbed their hands and stuffed them in, raising her chin: "I, your eldest sister, have plenty of money. You don't have to be polite to me."

"They are all little girls. Go buy some rouge and powder to dress up."

Hear the words.

The two could only accept it and couldn't help but smile.

Money is a yellow and white thing full of the smell of copper, but 99% of people love it.

Xie Lingfen and the other person were no exception.

……

at last.

The day came when the results were announced.

The number of participants in the provincial examination was smaller than that in the county examination, prefectural examination and academy examination, but the level of excitement increased rather than decreased.

Very simple.

In addition to the candidates themselves, there are many unrelated people who are paying attention, and some even set up bets on who will top the list.

at this time.

Outside the Imperial Examination Hall, the discussions were particularly loud.

"In my opinion, the top of the list must be Lin Feng from Suzhou Prefecture."

"What a big mouth! Wang Pingzhi from Baiyun Academy comes from a prominent family and has been a genius since childhood. I think he will be the champion this time."

"I read……"

"..."

There are different opinions.

Of course, the names that appeared in the discussions were all geniuses from various prefectures and cities.

Xie Linghe listened carefully for a while and then complained, "Why isn't Xie Boyuan's name mentioned? What a lack of taste."

immediately.

She pursed her lips. "I have the cheating system, and I already know Xie Boyuan is first. If only it were in Nanzhili, I could just bet on Xie Boyuan to win, wouldn't I make a fortune? What a pity~"

soon.

The gate of the Imperial Examination Hall opened.

The whole place fell silent, and everyone stretched their necks to look at the officers and soldiers.

Xie Boyuan was with his classmates, and like everyone else, he looked at the person who announced the results with both anticipation and trepidation.

The officers and soldiers set off firecrackers.

Then, the red list was posted.

People flocked to it.

Xie Boyuan and his companions also tried hard to squeeze forward, but to no avail.

"Hey, stop crowding me. I just heard you say you're not a candidate. Why are you still joining in the fun?"

"Yes."

"Everyone who is not involved please move on. Let us examinees take a look at our rankings first."

"Why?"

"How unreasonable! I got the front row with my own ability, why should I give it up to you?"

"Think beautifully!"

"Don't push it."

"..."

The scene was very chaotic.

One of Xie Boyuan's group said, "Forget it, let's let them watch first. When there are fewer people, we can watch later."

Everyone nodded.

Their expressions were all calm.

After all, he is a student of Baiyun Academy, so he is sure to become a juren.

Not cold.

A sharp explosion sounded from the crowd: "Who is Xie Boyuan?!"

then.

Several voices rang out in disbelief: "Who is Xie Boyuan?! How could he be the top scorer when he suddenly appeared out of nowhere?"

"what?!"

"The champion's name is Xie Boyuan?"

"..."

These were probably all gamblers. Most people didn't care about them. They wrote down Li Yuan Xie Boyuan's name and started looking around and asking questions.

"Do any of you know Xie Boyuan?"

"Where did this guy come from?"

"To have achieved the title of Li Yuan, he must not be an unknown person."

"..."

Relative to others.

Xie Boyuan's classmates all looked at him in disbelief.

then.

Someone exclaimed: "Bo Yuan, you have to understand Yuan. You are indeed worthy of being Mr. Wen's disciple."

"Haha, Bo Yuan, you really made our Baiyun Academy proud this time."

"That's right. The winner of the last provincial examination was a boy who returned from Northern Zhili. It made us Southern Zhili candidates feel so ashamed, especially our Baiyun Academy."

"..."

Xie Boyuan was also overjoyed.

Who wants to be second when you can be first?

He couldn't suppress the smile on his face, and said modestly: "It's all luck, it's all luck hahaha~"

Few people noticed.

A candidate nearby heard what they said and exclaimed, "Xie Boyuan is here."

"where?"

"Where is Xie Boyuan?"

"Who is?"

"..."

A swarm of people came up.

Xie Boyuan's face changed drastically when he saw this, and he said to his classmates, "I'll go back and wait for you guys."

then.

He ran away in a flash.

"What about people?"

"Where?"

"Where is Mr. Jie Yuan?"

"..."

Someone showed me the way.

Most of the candidates stopped.

However, there were also many people dressed as servants, butlers, and wealthy businessmen who chased after them.

"Thank you, Jieyuan. My master invites you."

"Is Mr. Jieyuan looking for a wife? My master is a cloth merchant in Nanzhili. He has a daughter who is only 28 years old. She is beautiful and would be a good match for you, my lord."

"..."

This is implicit.

Some were completely blunt and shouted in the street: "My dear son-in-law, stop and wait for me."

"My dear children, capture your future son-in-law and try to get him into the bridal chamber tonight."

"..."

Xie Linghe was stunned.

Xie Boyuan was so frightened that his face turned pale and he walked even faster, using all his might.

At last.

Escaped safely into the restaurant.
