Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Pampering My Little Husband

"Meng Xueming from Wushan Village, Mingxi County, ranked sixty-eighth in the prefectural examination!"

Meng Xueming thanked the yamen runners with delight and stuffed two red envelopes into their hands.

She finally felt relieved and was quite satisfied with her ranking.

"Congratulations, Lady Meng!"

"congratulations!"

Zhuang Xinyan and Han Zixuan were genuinely happy for each other!

Ji Xiao said excitedly, "You two seem to have pretty high rankings!"

They've already reached the thirties, and we still haven't heard their names!

Su Yaoguang walked down the stairs from the second floor with a calm expression.

It quickly attracted the attention of others, and Han Zixuan and the others also turned to look.

Su Yaoguang gave him a disdainful look, and then he stopped at the table next to the group.

The people who were originally at the table quickly fled under the hostile gazes of the group.

"Hehe, Miss Su, come quickly, sit down. The timing is just right!"

You Fang thoughtfully wiped the stool clean for Su Yaoguang before letting her sit down!

"Arriving early is a waste of time!"

The atmosphere at Xiangyun Inn is very eerie now.

Each person was tense yet expectant, patiently waiting through the agonizing wait.

"Mingxi County, Zhuang Xinyan ranked sixth in the prefectural examination."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xinyan was initially delighted, then looked at Han Zixuan before nodding resignedly.

After thanking the constables, they gave the two men red envelopes, saying, "Thank you both for your hard work!"

"Lady Zhuang is so capable, ranking sixth in the prefectural examination is truly impressive!"

Meng Xueming offered his heartfelt congratulations.

"Where, where."

"I didn't expect you to be so capable! You really have some skills!" Ji Xiao didn't want to admit it, but he was genuinely impressed!

Then he looked expectantly towards the door, where two more constables came in.

"Su Yaoguang from Sujia Village, Rongguang County, ranked fourth in the Zhongfu Examination!"

Su Yaoguang froze upon hearing the name. Fourth place? How could it only be fourth place!

He frowned deeply, clearly dissatisfied with his ranking.

The bailiffs looked on with delight at the beautifully dressed female ruler.

He thought to himself that the reward for a lady dressed so richly must be substantial!

But after waiting for a long time, Su Yaoguang showed no sign of joy.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on your fourth place in the Central Examination!"

The bailiff smiled obsequiously, but didn't even get a glance from Su Yaoguang.

The constable looked puzzled. Could it be that this person hadn't even prepared any money for the celebration?

The people following behind Su Yaoguang exchanged glances.

One of them quickly took five taels of silver from his purse and stuffed it into the hands of the yamen runner.

Only then did the two constables smile.

Turning his head, he took out another red silk scroll. "Han Zixuan from Qingshan Village, Mingxi County, ranked third in the Central Examination! May I ask which one is Lady Han?"

The group looked at Han Zixuan with surprise.

Han Zixuan raised an eyebrow. Third place, not bad. She quickly stood up and said, "I am Han Zixuan!"

"Hehe, congratulations, Ms. Han!"

"Thank you both for your hard work, ladies. This is just a small token of our appreciation. Please have some tea with me!"

The two men handed the red envelope to the constable, thanked him, and left.

Ji Xiao smiled and congratulated her, "Haha, Sister Zixuan, you're amazing! You got third place in the prefectural examination!"

Zhuang Xinyan and Meng Xueming also offered their congratulations, saying, "We just don't know who will win first place!"

Su Yaoguang frowned, her gaze towards Han Zixuan filled with murderous intent, as if it were a tangible presence. It was her again.

He then slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and went back to his room.

After learning the results of the prefectural examination, everyone began to intensify their preparations for the upcoming provincial examination.

There were more than a thousand students in the prefectural examination, and more than two hundred students in the provincial examination.

Not knowing how many more people would be selected after the provincial examination, everyone arrived at the entrance of the examination hall early that day.

It was much quieter than before.

They lined up according to their rankings to enter the examination hall, which allowed Han Zixuan to see the top two candidates.

The woman at the head of the household was a woman in her thirties, standing tall and confident.

The second place went to an elderly woman with gray hair, who looked to be around fifty years old!

Han Zixuan finally understood what the ancient book meant by "Thirty years old is old for a scholar who has passed the imperial examination, fifty years old is young for a scholar who has passed the imperial examination."

This shows how difficult the path to the imperial examination was. Just as she was lost in thought, someone bumped into her back!

Han Zixuan frowned and looked over, but Su Yaoguang turned her head away with a cold expression.

However, Han Zixuan still caught a glimpse of her fleeting panic!

He glanced down at the exam basket he was carrying, as if he had thought of something.

He immediately checked his exam basket and suddenly found a note under his inkstone.

Upon picking it up, he saw that it was covered with dense writing, and his expression changed.

He glanced at the constables who had already begun their inspection, his gaze turning icy as he looked at Su Yaoguang.

Su Yaoguang's eyes widened when she saw the note in Han Zixuan's hand, and then she curled her lips into a smile.

He shouted loudly, "Madam, I saw someone smuggling contraband!"

Han Zixuan narrowed her eyes and immediately put the item in her hand into her spatial storage.

Her shout quickly attracted the attention of others, including the constables.

After letting the two people in, I turned and went to the two people in front of me!

"Who dares to bring prohibited items?"

Su Yaoguang quickly pointed at Han Zixuan, "I just saw her secretly hiding something! It looks like a note."

The constable's expression immediately turned cold. "Come out here. We'll begin the inspection now."

Han Zixuan was taken aside by the yamen runners and thoroughly examined.

Her basket was a mess, and the food was inedible.

The constables found nothing unusual, and Su Yaoguang was shocked.

"How is that possible? I clearly saw it!"

Han Zixuan tidied her things and came to Su Yaoguang's side.

"Madam, this is slander. What should we do?"

Su Yaoguang's face was gloomy. She had been staring at Han Zixuan the whole time!

How could the things be missing! "Hmph, I must have been mistaken!"

"It's a misunderstanding. I was just worried that this lady might have ulterior motives."

The constable glanced at the long queue behind him and scolded Su Yaoguang.

"Don't talk nonsense about the truth. Look carefully next time before you speak."

Then they went back to the front to check the students, and Han Zixuan was thoroughly checked.

He then went straight into the examination hall, looked at Su Yaoguang, and scoffed, "These little tricks are nothing, but now is not the time!"

I must perform steadily before the exam begins in the cramped cell.

I tidied up my things and started preparing my brushes and ink in advance.

When the bell rang, the yamen runners began distributing the exam papers.

The provincial examination consisted of three sessions, each lasting three days. The provincial examination was generally held in three sessions.

The first exam focused on the understanding and interpretation of Confucian classics, such as the Analects, Mencius, and the Book of Poetry. The provincial examination primarily tested knowledge of Confucian classics, writing skills, and insights into current affairs.

The second part of the exam covers discussion, judgment, imperial edict, proclamation, and memorial. "Discussion" involves expounding viewpoints, "judgment" involves case analysis, and "imperial edict, proclamation, and memorial" involves official document writing.

The third exam, which tests knowledge of classics, history, and current affairs, mainly requires candidates to propose insights and solutions to practical political, economic, and cultural issues of the time, drawing on their knowledge of classics and history.
