After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Chapter 282: Provincial Examination Results

September!

Thanks to Qu Yuanxun's unremitting efforts, Lin Lin was no longer so resistant to him, and Lin Lin also understood that a child cannot be born without a father.

Apart from being afraid of childbirth, Qu Yuanxun was a good husband and certainly a good father.

"Shen Qingzhou, Lin Ting, I have good news to tell you today. The list of the provincial examination will arrive in Wenzhu County in two days."

The list was issued by the governor. Today, Qu Yuanxun has sent out a notice through the county government. When the time comes, everyone who is taking the provincial examination in Wenzhu County can go and take a look.

Shen Qingzhou waited for more than a month, and finally the results were announced. He was nervous and excited.

"Finally, we'll know the result."

"Yes, we finally know the result, but it seems that the people who came this time are not just the patrol officers."

Qu Yuanxun was not very sure about the news, but he had probably heard some rumors that the people coming this time should be from the palace.

"Is there anyone else?" Lin Ting asked.

Qu Yuanxun didn't confirm it either, and just shook his head: "There is no definite news yet. We will know in two days."

In fact, he and Madam Qu both had a feeling that if nothing unexpected happened, Qu Yuanxun would most likely be transferred back to the capital.

"Okay, then brother-in-law, please stay for dinner tonight and try the new Wushan peppers."

"Okay, then I'm welcome."

Qu Yuanxun certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity to sit down and have dinner with Lin Lin. Only if the two of them interacted more and talked more would Lin Lin trust him more.

Two days later, the list of names in the county government office was filled with students in long robes. No one argued. While waiting, the tense atmosphere made everyone surprisingly quiet.

Before the notice was posted, people from the provincial governor and the county government were guarding the area. The majestic atmosphere made people afraid to move.

"The time has come, the results of the provincial examination have been announced, get up..."

One of them shouted, and immediately four yamen runners hung up the provincial examination list, and a large scroll slowly fell down.

As the scroll unfolded, it touched the hearts of hundreds of people.

Lin Ting held Shen Qingzhou's hand as they walked through the crowd, and at the same time, they heard sounds of joy and sadness.

"I won, I won, ah... I finally won, hahaha..."

Some were also sad: "How is it possible? How could my name not be on the list? I did very well in the exam."

Some people fainted and were carried away by people from the county government.

There are always people who want to snatch the bride from the list. If you pass the provincial examination, you will be a juren, and juren can become an official.

If you can snatch her away and marry your daughter to her, she will become the future wife of an official. Many people are trying to snatch her away.

Because of this, Lin Ting and Shen Qingzhou had a very hard time squeezing into the front of the list.

Lin Ting habitually started looking from the first place, and when he looked up, he saw Shen Qingzhou's name.

"First place in the provincial examination, Shen Qingzhou, you are the top scorer, you are the top scorer!"

Shen Qingzhou's name is the highest on the entire list, so Lin Ting doesn't even need to look for it, he can see it by just looking up.

Lin Ting hugged Shen Qingzhou's arm and shook it, and seeing this, Shen Qingzhou also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was sure, he still felt relieved after seeing this.

"I saw it, my lady."

Shen Qingzhou held Lin Ting's hand on his arm. This was the most heartfelt smile he had ever had in the past month.

He was the top scorer in the imperial examination, he became a juren, and his life took another step forward.

"That's great, Shen Qingzhou. You passed the imperial examination. Your parents-in-law must be very happy. Besides, our family hasn't had any happy events in a long time. We have to celebrate today.

I would like to invite the whole village to come and congratulate you on winning the provincial examination."

“Wouldn’t that be too exaggerated?”

Although he said that, Shen Qingzhou's pair of shining black eyes were full of pride that he could win the title of Jieyuan in this provincial examination.

“Don’t be boastful, don’t be boastful. Your efforts deserve to be known by more people.”

There were several middle-aged men dressed as businessmen around Shen Qingzhou. After knowing that Shen Qingzhou was the top scorer, one by one they wanted to step forward and snatch him away.

But when I heard him call the woman next to him "wife", I realized that she was already married.

Looking down, I actually saw Hu Yuanqing's name at number 43.

"Qingzhou, look, forty-three, is that your good friend?"

Shen Qingzhou was already happy, and when he saw his friend's name, he became even happier.

"It's Hu Yuanqing, him? When did he take the exam? I didn't see him."

Bad news came from Hu Yuanqing's family, saying that his father was seriously ill and he had to postpone this year's provincial examination.

Shen Qingzhou thought that he would not take the exam, so he did not wait for him. However, he did not expect that he would take the exam in the end and ranked 43rd. He would also become a juren in the future.

Outsiders looking at the list may think that the imperial examination is nothing, but only those who actually take the exam know how difficult it is.

Just when Lin Ting and Shen Qingzhou were feeling happy, they heard a familiar voice.

"Why is my name not there? It's impossible that my name is not there. This must be a mistake, sir. This must be a mistake. My name cannot be missing."

Shen Jizu's eyes were sunken and his clothes were not as clean as before. He rushed forward and tried to touch the list with his hands, but was stopped by the yamen runners guarding in front.

This is the list of the imperial examination. If anyone tears it down, these yamen runners will be punished.

"Let me go. I, Shen Jizu, have taken the provincial examination for so many years. I have worked so hard. There is no way I could have failed. There is no way I could have failed... I... I..."

The struggling Shen Jizu seemed to have lost all his strength and means. He suddenly twitched. The people in the county government immediately carried him aside and asked the doctor to give him medicine to prevent him from biting his tongue.

The inspectors have seen this kind of situation too many times. It happens every time the results are announced. Even the doctors who are invited are experienced.

Lin Ting and Shen Qingzhou also looked through it and found that Shen Jizu's name was indeed not there.

But it's normal when you think about it. He always uses studying as an excuse to be lazy, enjoying the best resources at home, but not striving for progress. It would be strange if he passed the exam.

"Madam Lin, Shen Jieyuan, our master asked me to tell you two to go home early after reading the list."

The person who ran over to talk to Lin Ting was a young constable who often followed Qu Yuanxun. He didn't say it very clearly, but Qu Yuanxun must have his own reasons for asking them to go back.

"Okay! My husband and I will be back as soon as possible."

After looking at the list, Lin Ting decided to celebrate such a big happy event today. The two of them first went to Nanxinglou to order a chef's meal.

They bought a lot of fireworks and firecrackers, and arranged for people from the Tea House to provide porridge for three days.

After arranging all this, the two returned to Wushan Village, wanting to tell their families the news as soon as possible.
