The results were announced on the fourth day, but Xie Xiu still didn't go to see them.

He had already learned the result from Xie Ying, and was worried that he would be surrounded after going out, so he hid at home and waited for the officials to come and report the good news.

Jiang Er knew the result in advance, and before the officials came to report the good news, he couldn't wait to rush over.

But after meeting Xie Xiu, he deliberately didn't tell him the result, but just winked at Xie Xiu, leaving Xie Xiu speechless.

Not long after, officials came running to announce the good news.

Liu Ye quickly gave the other party a big red envelope, took out the firecrackers she had prepared in advance, and lit them at the door.

The crackling sound of firecrackers made the atmosphere particularly lively.

The Princess's Mansion immediately sent people to congratulate them, and then the surrounding neighbors also sent people to congratulate them.

At the Zhu family, when Zhu Xiucai learned that Xie Xiu had won the top spot in the imperial examination, he immediately rushed to Xie's house to congratulate him.

Xie's house was once again filled with guests.

Immediately afterwards, Taiping Coal Mine once again launched special price coal.

Previously, Xie Xiu won the first place in the imperial examination, and Taiping Coal Mine launched a special price for coal for one day.

This time it will be launched in three days!

As soon as the news came out, people were very excited and rushed to buy them.

In fact, now that the weather is gradually warming up, many people no longer need to burn coal for heating.

However, since the special price of coal, many people have started to stock up.

The special price coal is five cents cheaper than the usual price, so one hundred pieces of coal can be saved by five hundred cents!

Many people don't want to miss this opportunity to take advantage.

The next day after the results were announced, Xie Xiu entered the palace early.

As the top scholar, he was appointed as a compiler in the Hanlin Academy in accordance with previous practice.

Although he was only a minor official of the sixth rank, it was the official start of his official career.

Xie Xiu didn't mind.

After leaving the palace, they were paraded through the streets on horseback.

Xie Xiu was riding on a tall horse, wearing a top scholar robe, looking extremely handsome.

Countless young ladies' eyes lit up when they saw this, but they could only put their thoughts aside when they thought of the Rouge Tiger in Xie Xiu's house.

At this time, in an elegant room by the window, a young girl was sitting by the window, sipping hot tea and looking down at the team in the distance quietly.

Looking at the crimson figure riding on the horse in the lead, she curled her red lips in satisfaction: "This Xie Xiu is quite good-looking.

I heard that his biological father had also won the first place in the imperial examination, and because of this, he caught the eye of Chen Fang, so he chose to murder his first wife, who was from a merchant family, and became the son-in-law of the Chen family.

At this point, she smiled and looked at the handsome young man sitting next to her. Leaning in his arms, she asked in a tender voice, "Liu Yu, if I asked Xie Xiu to marry me, would he choose a noble princess like Xie Yun, or would he choose that country woman from his family?"

Liu Yu carefully protected the girl in his arms, allowing her to lean in comfortably. He said sarcastically, "The princess is a royal descendant, how can she be compared to a country woman? If Xie Xiu wasn't stupid, he would choose the princess."

The girl's smile grew even brighter when she heard this: "I think so too."

After saying that, she stood up and said, "They're almost here. Let's go meet the new number one scholar and see what he will choose."

As the girl spoke, she strode out.

Liu Yu and two maids hurried to follow.

There were four guards guarding outside the elegant room. When they saw the girl come out, they all followed her.

So, when Xie Xiu came riding over with the newly crowned runner-up and third place winners, a guard from the nearby teahouse suddenly blocked their way.

Because there were so many people on the street, the three of them didn't ride fast and almost felt like they were walking.

So it was easy for the guard to stop him.

Xie Xiu was worried that the horse might kick the other person, so he quickly reined in the horse and looked at him calmly, secretly alert in his heart: "I wonder why you suddenly blocked my way?"

The guard was quite handsome. He looked up at Xie Xiu with an arrogant expression and said in a rather arrogant tone, "My master has something to ask Xie Zhuangyuan."
