A blessed wife leads her husband to wealth and prosperity!

Lin He'er felt that scientific expeditions were truly a torturous experience, not only for the examinees but also for their families.

After three days of anxious worry following Wen Yuning, the county examination was finally over.

Wen Yuning ultimately pulled through through sheer willpower.

However, in the following days, this person stayed in bed for several days. Fortunately, the teachers at the county school were experienced and did not resume classes immediately after the exam.

Students who participated in the imperial examinations were given a week-long holiday.

In recent days, Lin He'er has been having Li Mama try all sorts of ways to nourish this person's body. Now that the exam is over, she can finally eat and drink freely without having to eat too bland food.

However, I don't dare to overdo it with supplements. I've heard from customers in the shop these past few days that many students have completely let loose after finishing their exams and have been indulging in all sorts of food and drink, which has resulted in the clinic's business improving quite a bit recently.

After resting at home for three days, Wen Yuning couldn't sleep today. The reason was simple: today was the day the county government released the results of the imperial examinations. Since it was her first time taking the exams, she was feeling quite anxious.

After all, you have to compete with many people for a limited number of spots, and your fate will be revealed today. Any normal person would be nervous.

Besides the student himself, everyone else in the family was also looking forward to the results being released today.

Lin He'er sent Meng Xing to check the list early in the morning. Although she had never experienced checking the list in ancient times, she knew from what Li Shi had said that the county government office would be packed with people on the day the results of the imperial examinations were announced.

Meng Xing has been gone for quite a while, why hasn't he returned yet? Lin He'er looked out anxiously from the shop in front.

Madam, the results haven't been released yet. If you're really in a hurry, how about I accompany you to take a look?

Seeing that the lady was in the shop, Li's mind was already on the notice board, so she had no choice but to take her out.

Wasn't that place too crowded to get into? Lin He'er still really wanted to go.

If we don't push our way to the front, we can wait outside and still get the news as soon as possible.

Every time the results are announced, the people in front of the list will loudly read out the names of those on the list, and perhaps we can hear the son-in-law's name too!

Really? Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!

Upon hearing what Li said, Lin He'er hurriedly walked out of the shop.

The two walked quickly to the county government office, but as expected, they could not go any further.

Standing here now, we're still quite a distance from where the list is posted.

Let's just wait here; the list hasn't been posted yet.

The two moved away from the crowd and found a quiet spot to stand.

After waiting a while, the county government gate finally opened, and several people came out, each holding a list.

Several constables followed behind him, presumably to maintain order on the battlefield.

Those waiting saw the constables begin posting the red notices, and everyone tried to push forward, hoping to be the first to see someone's name on the list.

Everyone step back and stop moving forward. The constables kept driving away the crowd that wanted to push forward, clearing a circle around the front of the list.

It's posted! It's posted! Quick, check if my name is on it! Some students even squeezed in early to see the list.

This year's first place winner is Wang Qing, a true scholar!

Someone read it out loud: "Number one on the list."

Who is Wang Qing? I've never heard of him.

Brother, you're not from the county town, are you? Wang Qing is the most famous student in the county school.

His poems and essays had been praised by the instructors. It was no surprise that he came in first place.

The person who provided the answer seemed to be a student from the county school. No wonder they knew so much about this person.

Lin He'er didn't care who Wang Qing was; she just wanted to know if any of her family members' names were on the list.

I stood on tiptoe and tried to look ahead, but all I could see were a sea of ​​black heads; I couldn't see anything at all.

I wonder if Meng Xing has reached the list yet.

At this moment, Meng Xing had already squeezed his way to the top of the honor roll.

Starting from the first name and looking down, Meng Xing saw the name Wen Yuning when he reached the fourth name.

He shouted excitedly, "My benefactor! My benefactor's name is on the list, fourth place! My benefactor is amazing!"

Fearing he might have misread the name, Meng Xing double-checked it before turning around and starting to squeeze back.

Just as she was about to come out, she suddenly heard someone calling her. She looked towards the source of the sound and saw Madam and Granny Li waving at her.

Madam, please wait here, I'm coming over.

Upon arriving, before he could even catch his breath, Meng Xing shouted, "I won! I won! My benefactor is fourth place!"

When Lin He'er heard that Wen Yuning had come in fourth place, her eyes welled up with tears. She hadn't expected him to be so amazing.

With so many exams, he still ranked so high.

Let's go back and quickly tell Brother Wen the good news.

The group hurried back, and when they arrived at the shop, Lin He'er saw Wen Yuning standing in front of the door looking in their direction.

It seems this person isn't as calm as they appear!

When the people got closer, Wen Yuning asked with a slightly tense expression, "How is it?"

Fourth place, well done, Brother Wen.

Upon hearing her ranking, Wen Yuning secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she passed; she hadn't expected her ranking to be so high.

Seeing that the person had relaxed, Lin He'er couldn't help but want to laugh.

Let's not stand there anymore, let's go back into the yard.

After returning to the backyard several times, Lin Niangzi came to the door shortly afterward.

Son-in-law, have you seen the list? Did you pass the exam?

"Mother, I passed! Your son-in-law came in fourth place!" Lin He'er proudly told her mother.

"Good, good, I didn't expect Sanlang to be so good at studying." Madam Lin was genuinely happy for her son-in-law.

After all, only when the son-in-law is successful can the daughter live a good life.

We're going to celebrate today! Come over for dinner later. Mom's cooking herself, so let's have a proper celebration.

Alright, I'll have Granny Li pick up Dong'er later. Let Dong'er come home for lunch today so we can all have some fun together.

After finishing her conversation with her daughter, Madam Lin hurried back to the Lin family home. She and Madam Zhang went out to buy a lot of vegetables, ready to show off their culinary skills.

At lunchtime, the family enjoyed a lively meal together. Lin He'er and Wen Yuning escorted Lin Dong back to Master Yu's place, and then the two of them returned to the shop together.

Brother Wen, the county exam is over, so the prefectural exam must be coming up soon.

Well, now that the county exam is over, the prefectural exam is just over a month away.

This period was mainly to facilitate students from distant places to travel to the prefectural city.

Would county schools also organize students to take the exam together when they went to the prefectural or county-level examination centers?

It's unclear at the moment; we estimate that the reputation has spread to the county school, and the teacher will inform us.

Wen Yuning was completely clueless about participating in the prefectural examination; all the information she knew came from what her teacher had told her.

If the county school organizes us to participate in the prefectural examination, He'er, you can stay at home.

Wen Yuning planned to go to the prefectural city to take the exam alone, since going outside the city was not as convenient as going to the county town.

It's too early to talk about this now. Let's wait until you get the news after you return to the county school.

Lin He'er did not immediately agree to the man's suggestion. She was already quite worried about this exam, and she was not comfortable with Wen Yuning going to the prefectural exam alone. Although he had classmates with him, it was still not reassuring to have a close friend by his side.

Let's make a decision about this later.
