Chapter 131 Chapter 130 Calm and confident, we are serious
The private room next door seemed to be cursed as no one passed the exam. On the contrary, An Xin's side seemed to be blessed by God.
Even Han Junbo, who came here to check the list, passed the exam with the 13th place on the list, while there was no movement from their side.
Zhu Shijing was dreaming of becoming the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue one day and being able to manage the country's finances, so he studied very hard in the past few years.
The results of this examination were unexpectedly good, and he was ranked fourth on the examination list. Even An Xin did not expect that he could rank so high in the face of thousands of candidates in Daqian.
She is really a great student.
"!!!" An Xin thought arrogantly.
This result is worthy of his efforts over the past few years.
An Xin looked at Li Ziyu, who was still expressionless and drinking tea leisurely. He was able to remain calm despite having won first place in the examination.
"!!!"
She didn't even lean on An Xinqiang, which showed that she was truly impressed by her student.
Leng Xiangbai, who had been the runner-up for a thousand years, looked calm and convinced. He performed very stably again this time. Damn, he was still ranked second.
An Xin shed tears of sympathy for him.
There is a feeling that if we already have Yu, why do we need Liang?
The An Xin group, who still returned with a lot of harvest, including Han Junbo who also passed the exam, all had to hurry back.
Because the person who brings the good news should go there soon, and report the good news to his or her respective place of residence to receive the reward. It would always be bad if the host is not there.
Just as An Xin and his friends walked out of the room, the door of the private room next door opened at this moment. The two groups paused when they saw each other.
The sound insulation between the two adjacent private rooms was not very good, which was a tragic situation for us as no one passed the exam.
Looking at the other party's relaxed and happy expressions, not to mention Liu Mingjie, Tao Fei and others who had ugly expressions, even Xiao Wenjin and Wen Changyi, who were extremely cunning, found it difficult to force out a polite smile when they saw An Chu and the others.
Seven people passed the exam in a private room. If Xiao Wenjin hadn't investigated their background, he would have found out that they were all from a small county in the south.
He began to suspect that these people were all illegitimate children of today. Otherwise, why would the success rate be so high? This was unscientific.
In order to maintain his reputation as the best young man and the most talented man in the capital, he used some of his father's connections as the prime minister to secretly manipulate the results of the imperial examination.
Even Xiao Wenjin himself didn't expect that he would not be on the list.
Watching An Xin and the others walking down the stairs, Xiao Wenjin's face turned grim, and a sinister cold light flashed in his originally warm eyes.
Li Ziyu, who walked to the lobby on the first floor, seemed to sense something and turned back to meet his gaze. His eyes were cold and his angular lips were slightly raised to reveal an ambiguous smile.
Then he turned around and followed An Xin who was looking at him out of the teahouse.
"What's wrong?" An Xin asked.
"fine."
Since Li Ziyu would not tell An Xin that he had discovered that the prime minister's son had strong hostility towards them.
After Han Junbo came out, he greeted An Xin and the others, asked them where they lived and said he would visit them when he had time, then said goodbye and left.
Liu Mingjie watched An Xin and his group of people get on the carriage and leave, feeling extremely regretful after Shanzhang An Yuanrong passed away.
He felt that Wanhua Academy no longer had anything he was looking for, so he was persuaded by the benefits offered by Cangyun Academy's President Wang and left without even paying attention to the completion of An Yuanrong's funeral.
Seeing how successfully An Xin taught six students, Liu Mingjie couldn't help but wonder if she would have treated him differently if he hadn't left.
With her careful teaching, it is possible for him to become the top scorer in this spring's imperial examination, or even the top scorer in the palace examination soon. Then what would those useless people have any chance of doing?
Why am I so embarrassed now, envious of others who went to high school while I failed? I have done so much just to make myself a laughing stock.
An Xin didn't know how much Liu Mingjie regretted it, and she wouldn't care even if she knew.
They and General Liu separated on the road. After all, there would be good news for them to go back and receive when Liu Boxing passed the exam. The person who brought the good news was also waiting to receive the reward.
The owner of the carriage looked calm and composed, while Da Zhuang and several servants sitting in the front row had happy faces, causing people on the street to look at them twice.
Some people knew about it. Thinking that today was the day when the results of the imperial examination would be announced, they understood clearly. Looking at what they were wearing, they knew whose family's servants were so happy. It must be that the host's family had a happy event.
On a day like today, could there be anything that makes them happier than having their master on the list?
Although they are all servants, the higher the status of their master, the more face they will have in front of others.
Although the neighbors of An Xin's house in Liuxiang were not high-ranking officials, they all held some public office. When they first moved in, An Xin also bought cakes and candies to warm their neighbors.
But most people knew that the person who bought the house was just an ordinary person. After that, the neighbors acted as if they didn't see her and didn't even bother to say hello to her.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
But today, as soon as An Xin and his friends got off the carriage, they saw that their door was surrounded by people.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to stay at my house. There are so many outstanding students. If I had known, I would have let my son go there to share in the good fortune."
An old lady in the crowd turned around and saw them coming back. She smiled and said to Li Ziyu and the others with shining eyes.
An Xin pulled the corner of his eyes, and three thick lines slid down his forehead.
"..." Auntie, why are you smiling so obscenely? Let's talk it out, please let me go!!! Zhu Shijing, who was more tactful, smiled at the people who looked over and said, "It's hard for everyone to stand here. Can you please move aside the door? We need to go in."
Some people blushed when they heard him say that. No matter where it was, there was no reason for someone to block the door and prevent the owner of the house from entering his own home.
The people who were surrounding An's house to watch the fun made way for them. An Xin nodded to everyone and led Li Ziyu and the other six people into the gate of the house.
Several people in the front yard who were reporting the good news were overjoyed to see An Xin and the others come in, and they rushed forward to report the good news.
"Congratulations to Mr. Zhu for passing the imperial examination and ranking fourth. I wish you a bright future and a promising career in government."
"Congratulations to Jiang Xueyuan for getting the 68th place. I wish you a prosperous future."
"Congratulations to Mr. An Rui'an for being ranked 88th on the list. He has a bright future ahead of him..."
Seeing that the messenger who reported the good news to the three people above was shouting so loudly, the two people who reported the good news for Li Ziyu and Leng Xiangbai walked forward and were no longer in a hurry to report the good news and receive the reward.
After they had all reported the good news, three outstanding young gentlemen, having received a handsome reward, happily walked aside.
They then walked up to Li Ziyu and Leng Xiangbai and bowed to congratulate them.
"Congratulations, Mr. Leng, for being on the list. You will surely have a bright future."
Another said: "Mr. Li is extremely talented and has won the first place in the examination, becoming this year's champion."
Amid the envious gazes of so many people inside and outside the house, the two of them remained calm and composed, and they curled their lips to show respect.
He took out some reward money and handed it to the two people who brought the good news. The amount was not much, but definitely not too little. After the two people bowed to express their gratitude for the reward, they left happily with the other people who brought the good news.
