Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

Soon.

Following the ringing of a bell.

The gate opened wide and the students inside filed out. The ones at the front looked very energetic, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they had performed well. Some of them looked dejected, and when they finished answering the questions, they knew that their chances of getting into high school were slim.

Groups of students came out and waited for a long time, but they didn't see Yun Jing and the other one.

"Xiao Jing isn't the type to get impatient. She should be packing her things now." Ning Shan couldn't help but reassure her, "Just wait a little longer. She should be out soon. There's no need to rush."

Yun Zhenzhen thought so too, so she could only suppress her excitement and continue to wait at the door.

Yun Zhenzhen saw a group of people at a glance, and a handsome young man walked out surrounded by them. The person being surrounded was Wang Ye.

He has been in there for so many days, but his temperament has not diminished. He doesn't look embarrassed at all and is still full of energy. You can tell at a glance that he has performed well.

A group of people gathered around, full of flattery.

"Brother Wang, you are undoubtedly the top of this exam. Who else dares to compete with you?"

"Your family is very wealthy, and you have a relative who is a county magistrate. You will definitely be able to take first place in one fell swoop."

"That's right. When you graduate from high school, Brother Wang, you must not forget us, your classmates from the academy. When you become an official in the future, you must remember to promote us."

Wang Ye smiled broadly, then spoke modestly, "There are so many talented people in Yuzhou, many of whom are better than me. How could I possibly have the ability to compete for first place? There's no need to be so modest. Everyone has a chance."

Although he said so, the smile on his face was full of determination.

From the moment he saw the test paper, he knew what the test was about. He asked the types of questions in it, all of which he had encountered before, and he had no trouble writing them.

Even if he was not the top scorer in this exam, he was at least among the top five scholars. He had studied hard for more than ten years just for this title.

While people on this side were busy flattering, on the other side, Wang Ze and Yun Jing walked out at the back.

"Tsk tsk, the test results haven't even come out yet, and you're already so bragging." Wang Ye looked at him speechlessly, "How embarrassing it will be for you if the results aren't good."

Yun Jing reached out and tugged at his sleeve. "The results will be out in a few days, so there's no need to argue today. Let's go back first."

Seeing the two children walking towards her with a relaxed expression, Yun Zhenzhen did not ask too many details. She would see the result tomorrow anyway, and it would be clear. Asking more now would be redundant.

After returning to the inn, Yun Zhenzhen ordered the finest wine and food to reward the two children, and even made an exception by allowing them to taste the wine. After being cooped up in there for so many days, eating dry vegetable pancakes every day was indeed a hardship. Although she had specially made dried meat, eating it dry was not as satisfying as eating fresh vegetables.

The other students in the inn had also returned, and they all wanted to have a big meal after the exam, so the prices of food and wine instantly went up. A simple table of dishes cost nearly five taels of silver.

But she didn't mind spending so much money. She walked to the counter, took out her purse and prepared to pay. The shopkeeper said with a smile, "Madam, Mr. Wang has just paid for your table of food and has deposited fifty taels of silver for you. He said that all your expenses at the inn will be deducted from this amount."

Yun Zhenzhen felt somewhat helpless. After all, one should not accept rewards without merit. It was too obvious that Mr. Wang wanted to curry favor with her. She did not want to have too much interaction with such a person.

Although he was a sixth-rank Anren, he had no obvious power. All the things that Mr. Wang did were actually in vain.

However, he has shown his goodwill to him again and again. If he keeps refusing, it will make him seem unreasonable. Not only will he not be able to be friends, but he will also easily make an enemy.

She could only accept his kindness for the time being. After the children finished their meal, they went back upstairs to rest. They were so tired from the past few days that they fell asleep as soon as they lay down on the bed.

Early the next morning, there was a commotion outside, and the students in the inn walked out one after another. Today was the day when the results of the college examination would be posted.

Students taking part in the college entrance examination gathered from all directions, and hundreds of people blocked the road, making it almost impossible to move forward.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Everyone, please be quiet and don't make any noise."

The yamen runners came out, beating gongs and drums, clearing a large open space in front of them, and then posted the large notice in their hands on the notice board.

After the yamen runners left, the crowd rushed over and frantically searched for their names on it.

"I... I finally passed. I passed. Oh my god, I finally passed..."

"I...I actually ranked second to last. This means I can still take the next exam. As long as I go back and study hard, I will definitely be able to get into high school."

"That's not right! Can you help me find my name? Did they write it wrong? I've already taken the exam three times. If I fail this time, I won't be able to go home with shame..."

"God is so unfair! Why didn't I pass the exam? This is my eighth attempt..."

"It's okay... This is my first time taking the exam. Even though I didn't pass this year, I'll definitely get in next time. Wait until I make a comeback..."

"..."

In front of the notice board, all kinds of life are played out: those who pass the exam are laughing heartily, while those who fail the exam are crying.

Since Yun Zhenzhen hasn't seen any name yet, she is not worried about Jing Ge'er being on the list. As for Aze, she is not sure, but seeing that this boy looks so heartless, there shouldn't be any big problem.

Wang Ze really didn't take this matter too seriously. If he failed the exam, he could just try again next time. He was still young anyway... Even if he failed the exam, he could still live a rich life.

But if he didn't make the list, but Wang Ye did, that would be too embarrassing...

When he thought of this, Wang Ze was actually a little nervous. It was okay to fail the exam, but he couldn't lose face.

"I've explained the first exam questions to you in detail before." Yun Jing looked at him and said calmly, "As long as you have something in your mind, it shouldn't be a big problem. Don't overthink it."

Wang Ze was delighted: "Oh, that's right, I've obviously learned all of this before, and I answered the questions fluently in the exam room. There must be no problem, and I will definitely not fail."

"If I do better than you in the exam, you will be embarrassed." The king laughed and joked beside him.

Yun Jing looked at his carefree appearance and shook his head helplessly...
