For some people, half a month passes in the blink of an eye, but for the candidates, it feels like a year.
In order to wait for the announcement of the results, some students who are not from Lin'an are exhausted both physically and mentally, and worry about accommodation, food and drink every day.
The night before the results were announced, everyone was anxiously waiting and unable to sleep all night. Those who had connections tried to find out information from various sources just to get peace of mind.
On the day of the announcement of the results, before daybreak, the wall where the results were posted was already filled with scholars waiting to see the results. The whole street was noisy and the atmosphere was quite spectacular.
At this time, Yan Xi was still sleeping soundly, so the responsibility of looking at the list naturally fell on Ming Zhu.
As time passed, more and more people gathered to watch.
When the officials came forward and began to post the yellow notices one by one, the scholars and common people at the scene were nervous and excited. They rushed to watch and were shoulder to shoulder.
Some scholars who saw that they failed the exam turned pale and looked worried.
"Oh... I failed the exam again..."
Those who made the list were ecstatic and some even cried with joy on the spot.
"I won! I won! Hahahaha..."
Mingzhu, who was in the crowd, couldn't help but get nervous when faced with such a scene. He tried his best to push through the crowd and squeeze in.
The names and rankings on the yellow list were densely packed. Mingzhu looked at them one by one, not daring to miss any. After searching for a long time, he finally found Yan Xi's name on the first one.
Seeing the name that was very close to the top, Mingzhu covered his mouth with his hands, surprised and happy, "I got it, I got it, my young master got it, third place in the first class!!"
Mingzhu laughed heartily, even happier than if he had won. He ran back to He's house without stopping, cheering loudly all the way.
Yan Xi was sleeping in a daze when he suddenly heard the sound of a candle. He was so startled that his feet fell off the ground and he jumped up, rubbing his eyes in confusion.
"Young Master passed, third place in the first class!!"
Upon hearing this good news, everyone in the He Mansion was in an uproar, filled with joyful laughter.
Mingzhu ran to Yanxi's yard and suddenly opened the door, "Master! Hurry up, you passed the exam! Third place in the first class!"
Yan Xi yawned and was stunned for a moment when she heard the ranking. She immediately jumped out of bed excitedly and leaped in front of him. "Really? Third place in the first class?!"
"It's absolutely true, I saw it clearly!" Mingzhu's face was frozen with smile, and he couldn't suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.
Hearing this, Yan Xi's eyes almost filled with tears, with tears welling up in her eyes.
"System, I've made it! I got third place! I've never done so well in an exam in my life!"
A complete counterattack by a poor student.
System 5555 was also very happy. "Congratulations! Now it's time for the Palace Examination. If you perform exceptionally well this time, you might just be the top scorer. I'm counting on you."
Not only Yan Xi was happy that he was admitted to high school, but He Wei and others were also very happy. When people who usually interacted with the He family heard the news, they came to congratulate them.
Yan Xi was praised to the skies by them, almost to the point of praising him to the sky.
He Wei couldn't stop smiling, and the more he looked at his son, the more satisfied he became.
He was so happy that all the maids and servants in the mansion were rewarded.
That evening, a big banquet was held to celebrate.
Afterwards, He Wei took him to the study and gave him some earnest instructions.
Finally, he said with a smile, "Xi'er, now that you're in high school, shouldn't you also put your marriage on the agenda? If you keep using this as an excuse, your father and mother will be unhappy."
Yan Xi moved his lips, wanting to say something but stopped himself and simply remained silent.
He didn't know what to say or how to say it.
He Wei noticed his hesitation and said with a smile, "Just say whatever you want to say boldly. Why hide it in front of your father?"
"Father, I...I want to be with the person I love." Yan Xi said, tightening his hands hidden in his wide sleeves.
He Wei was slightly stunned and chuckled, "Oh? Xi'er, tell me who you like. I can go with your mother to propose marriage."
"There's no rush." Yan Xi raised her eyes and looked at him closely, "Before that, I want my father to promise me something."
He Wei saw this and had a bad feeling in his heart. His smile instantly faded. "What's the matter?"
"Can you and mother wait for me for a few more years, because... the person I like is still young, I want him to grow up a little, and then bring him to meet you two elders." Yan Xi's palms were sweating, and he didn't know whether He Wei could believe this excuse.
He knew very well that these words were all false.
Rather than letting Lou Jinchuan grow up, it is better to say that he will become stronger, strong enough to allow the day when Lou Jinchuan can stand in front of everyone openly.
"Too young?" He Wei frowned, a little amused. "Xi'er, a girl can get married at the age of 14. You said this age is still young. Can I understand that your sweetheart is not yet that age?"
Yan Xi pursed her lips and said nothing.
Seeing this, He Wei's expression suddenly became serious. "Xi'er, if the girl's parents knew that you were thinking about her before their daughter even grew up, wouldn't they tear you apart? As a father, I have to say this to you, but your behavior is rather beastly."
The beast Yan Xi: "..." I endure it, I admit it.
