Chapter 303 He Can't Fly Away
Soon, it was September 15th, the day when the results of the provincial examination were announced.
On that day, almost all the candidates crowded into the city to see the results.
No one in the Ye family took it seriously and just did what they were supposed to do.
Ye Caiping had just finished talking about distributors with a few merchants and returned to the main hall, where she saw Mrs. Du and Ye Daquan chatting with Old Lady Ye.
Shanzi suddenly walked in: "Madam Ye, Master Qian is here."
"Master Qian? Please come in."
Ye Caiping was puzzled. Why would Master Qian come here when he was fine? Ye Xuan did not take part in the provincial examination again.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw Master Qian running in with a red face, like a madman: "Hahahaha! Hahahaha——"
The corner of Ye Caiping's mouth twitched: "Master Qian?"
Old Lady Ye, Ye Daquan and others were also frightened by Master Qian's crazy look. What happened?
Ye Daquan was so frightened that he quickly stood in front of Ye Caiping and the others: "Master Qian...are you crazy? Do you want to see a doctor?"
"No, no, no! You are the crazy one! I won! I won! Hahaha!" Master Qian was crazy, like a happy madman.
Ye Caiping asked in surprise, "Master Qian, did you participate in this provincial examination? And did you pass it?"
No wonder he looks like a crazy Fan Jin who passed the imperial examination!
"Yes! Hahaha!" Master Qian finally stopped laughing. "I never thought that at the age of sixty, I would be lucky enough to pass the imperial examination!"
"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to Madam Ye."
Ye Caiping pointed at herself: "Me?"
"Yes! I gave up the imperial examination a long time ago. Didn't I meet you and Mr. Shen on the street last time? We drank tea together, and I listened to his lecture for half a day, and suddenly I had an epiphany! I figured out a lot of things. I thought to myself, why not give it one last try. I went back and studied hard,"
"I never thought... I did it! I won! I got the 98th place! Even though I'm the third from the bottom, I'm satisfied. Hahahaha——" He danced with joy again.
Old Mrs. Ye glanced at Ye Caiping and said, Wow! Go to the streets with Mr. Shen!
Ye Caiping coughed dryly and said, "Congratulations, Master Qian."
Master Qian bowed to Ye Caiping and said, "I should thank you, Madam Ye. After I learned that I passed the imperial examination, I came here to express my gratitude to you immediately."
After saying this, his old face froze.
He wanted to express his gratitude, but he actually forgot to bring a gift.
"Hahaha, I forgot to buy a gift for the cousin. I'll make it up later."
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Okay."
Old Lady Ye said, "Master Qian, please take a seat."
After Master Qian sat down, Ye Caiping asked, "Will Master Qian take part in the Spring Examination next year?"
Master Qian's excitement had subsided. He took the tea from Guixiang and shook his head:
"I won't take part in it. Passing the imperial examination is a gift from God. My life is worth it. And my old bones can't stand it."
Ye Caiping smiled and nodded.
As she was talking, Mrs. Zhao suddenly ran in: "Cai Ping Cai Ping, I'm telling you, ha ha ha!"
Ye Caiping's mouth twitched slightly, and she said something crazy again: "You say."
"I went to the city to check the list today. I asked someone to look for Li Zhiyuan's name, but it wasn't there! He didn't make it! And his son of a bitch didn't make it either! It was so funny! Last time, Li Jiaojiao came over to show off, saying that she would definitely make it this time. She also said that she would win the title of Jieyuan."
Ye Caiping was not surprised at all.
Mrs. Du, Old Lady Ye and others were delighted.
Mrs. Du said: "It's what he deserves. I said, God still has eyes!"
Ye Daquan: "I've said it before, it's impossible for someone who passed the exam to become a scholar at the age of 33 to pass the imperial examination, let alone become the top scholar, bah!"
"No more talking. I have important things to do." After saying this, Mrs. Zhao ran away.
Mrs. Du and Ye Daquan looked at each other in surprise.
She used to eat half a plate of preserved fruits when she came here. What happened that made her not even eat her favorite preserved fruits and run away like she was in trouble?
Master Qian sat at Ye Caiping's house for a while and then left.
Ye Caiping sent him out.
Master Qian looked at Ye Caiping and hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Well... the reason why I was able to pass the imperial examination was all thanks to Mr. Shen's teaching. I want to go and thank Mr. Shen, but I'm afraid that Mr. Shen won't see me. I wonder if Madam Ye is free to go with me to thank Mr. Shen?"
The person he was most grateful to for passing the imperial examination was Shen Zhiyan.
I originally wanted to be the first to thank Shen Zhiyan, but I was afraid that he would not see me, so I came to thank Ye Caiping first.
Ye Caiping smiled and nodded: "Okay. We will go to Shen's house after noon tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, thank you."
Mr. Qian's face was full of smiles. He could see Mr. Shen again!
......
Lee Family——
Li Zimo walked into the door with a gloomy expression.
Li Zhiyuan dragged his feet, as if he had lost his soul and was like a walking corpse.
Zhang Shui Niang and Li Pozi saw the two and rushed over immediately: "How is it? Did you win? Huh?"
Li Zhiyuan shuddered: "Can you please stop asking?"
Zhang Shuiniang and her mother-in-law's faces changed. Didn't it work?
Li Jiaojiao sat at the stone table and spat out the melon seed shells in her mouth with a "Puh".
She had said it long ago that with Li Zhiyuan's limited knowledge, it would be impossible for him to win!
Zhang Shuiniang said sullenly, "You... didn't win? Didn't you swear last time that you would win? And you said you could get into the top three!"
Since Li Jiaojiao started making money, Zhang Shuiniang has been able to stand up again. She would get angry and question Li Zhiyuan whenever she disagreed with him.
Before the exam, they had already announced that they would win the top prize.
Although he has been much more low-key recently and no longer talks about winning the first place in the imperial examination, they still tell the public that Li Zhiyuan will definitely pass the imperial examination.
Even the wife of the juren outside started screaming!
Now you tell her it’s not okay? Wouldn’t Zhang Shuiniang be so embarrassed?
Li Zhiyuan's face turned dark: "How would I know?"
Yeah, how would he know!
He answered so well! He felt that he had used up all he had learned in his life, but in the end, he was not even on the list!
Not to mention the top three, there’s not even the last place!
Is this the extent of his talent?
No, impossible!
If so, he, Li Zhiyuan, would be——
"Ah, dog shit!" Suddenly, Mrs. Zhao shouted in disgust from outside, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Mr. Li, your house is really dirty! There's a pile of dog shit outside!"
Li Zhiyuan almost vomited blood.
This damn bitch actually called him shit!
Li Zhiyuan knew why she came here, and after being hit so hard, he could no longer bear it, so he rushed into the woodshed, picked up a hoe, and was about to swing it at Zhao Po.
"Ahhhhh - help! Someone is murdering someone!" Mrs. Zhao screamed and ran out.
"You gossipy bitch, if I, Li Zhiyuan, don't beat you to death today, I'm not named Li!"
Li Zhiyuan, holding a hoe and with bloodshot eyes, ran around the village chasing Mrs. Zhao like a devil.
She ran away, he chased! She can't fly away!
No, in the end Li Zhiyuan couldn't escape!
Because he had only chased half of the village, Li Zhiyuan was stopped by the villagers: "Li Xiucai, what are you doing?"
"Li Xiucai has gone crazy!"
"Ah! Someone's been murdered——" Mrs. Zhao sat on the ground and cried.
Almost all the villagers of Lijia Village gathered around, and saw Li Zhiyuan with bloodshot eyes, holding a hoe, and being stopped by several villagers.
An old woman was sitting on the ground sobbing sadly.
At this time, Mrs. Li, Li Jiaojiao, and Zhang Shuiniang and her son all chased after them with grim faces.
They were also shocked just now. They never thought that the usually gentle Li Zhiyuan would chase people with a hoe.
"Scholar's wife, what happened?" said an old man in the crowd.
"It's her! It's all the fault of that Qinghe Village girl!" Mrs. Li started to curse first: "She always comes to our house every now and then to taunt us! We have tolerated it again and again! And today... Humph, Zhiyuan got so angry that he chased her and beat her up."
Li Zhiyuan also regained his sanity and said with a sullen face, "Humph, I really can't stand it anymore today! You from Qinghe Village, do you think that we from Lijia Village are easy to bully?"
