Chapter 4545 Results of the Provincial Examination

It wasn't just Uncle An who was in a state of uncertainty. Several families were also waiting for the results of the provincial examination.

If there was good news from a candidate, the official who announced the good news would report it to the student's family and the academy where he was studying in order to get more congratulatory money.

When An Xin heard Uncle Yong come in to report that six officials had arrived at the gate of the academy to announce the good news, she was slightly startled and her eyes widened slightly. This result was reasonable, but also obviously beyond her expectations.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, prepare the wedding money." An Xin immediately ordered Qingfeng to fill six purses and walked with her to the front door in a hurry. "Uncle Yong, have you prepared the firecrackers?"

"When I came here, I asked Da Zhuang to drive the cart to buy it."

On the way, I met six people who came out of the church after hearing the news.

An Rui walked up to An Xin and asked, "Cousin, I heard the person who announced the list is here."

"Yes! It's coming."

Zhu Shijing saw the six bulging purses on the tray that Qingfeng was holding behind An Xin, and he immediately lost his composure.

"You have too much money to spend, and you actually gave so much silver to the official who reported the good news."

An Xin gave him a strange look.

This stingy girl is so stingy that she doesn't care about how she did in the exam, but is here feeling sorry for how much money she gave to the person who told her the good news.

An Xin opened her eyes wide and saw that Zhu Shijing had taken out half of the ten taels of silver in each of her red envelopes.

When he was about to continue reducing it, An Xin came to her senses and promptly held down his restless hand, "It's already been packed, it will be troublesome to take it out again, let's go to the door and check."

Meeting An Xin's determined gaze, Zhu Shijing reluctantly withdrew his hand.

The others were not surprised by Zhu Shijing's reaction.

Money is equivalent to his life. Moreover, he has already regarded Xiaoshanzhang as his own family in his heart. Of course, he doesn't want her to spend so much money in vain.

When they arrived at the gate of the academy, they saw six people in official uniforms coming towards them with happy faces.

"Congratulations, congratulations, Li Ziyu, a student from the academy, has won the first place in the provincial examination."

Another official, not wanting to be outdone, shouted, "Congratulations to Leng Xiangbai, the student from the academy, for being ranked second on the list."

The official who announced the good news shouted very loudly. Although this result was not as loud as the first place, the one who could get the second place in the provincial examination was also a very outstanding student.

Zhu Shijing ranked third in the county exam, and this time he ranked fifth. He frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with this result.

Although Jiang Zhou, An Rui, and Liu Boxing also scored high in the exam, their rankings were not so prominent because of the three senior brothers who stood out in front of them.

An Xin signaled Qingfeng to hand the reward purse to the officials who reported the good news. The reward of five taels of silver per person was quite standard. The officials who received the reward were not disappointed and left happily.

The academy was not far from the county town. Da Zhuang drove the horse-drawn carriage and quickly bought firecrackers. Uncle Yong and he lit all the six boxes of firecrackers they bought.

For a moment, the sound of firecrackers crackling and deafening at the gate of Wanhua Academy.

Everyone in the county who got the news was shocked. After her father died, the woman had repeatedly refused the acquisition offer from Cangyun Academy's Dean Wang and called herself the Little Dean.

He actually educated those six wronged students and helped them pass the examination to become students.

And there were six in one test, which made many people drop their jaws.

The most shocking person was Principal Wang, who was willing to set up a gamble in order to buy Wanhua Academy at a low price.

Buying Wanhua Academy, which had always been superior to Cangyun Academy, had become the obsession of Principal Wang.

This time, Wang Renjie was not angry and smashed things. He sat alone in the study.

His eyes were deep and he was lost in thought. "Is that girl really that knowledgeable? She has been hiding her incompetence before. No matter what, we can't let this go on."

No matter what others thought, An Xin politely declined the idea of ​​several families treating him to a meal again, and stayed at home in a low-key manner, enjoying the leisurely life without having to teach.

Li Ziyu and Zhu Shijing, Jiang Zhou and Liu Boxing were called back by their families again to receive the envy of their relatives and friends.

When these people were called away, their faces looked extremely interesting.

An Xin also ordered his servants to buy some good wine and prepare a large table of dishes. Everyone gathered together and happily held a family celebration banquet for An Rui and Leng Xiangbai.

Ever since the good news about the six people was delivered to the academy, Uncle An was so happy that he hummed little tunes while walking every day.

Those gatherings of literati in Lin'an County that had marginalized him in the past are now sending him messages again.

However, Uncle An, who understood the ways of the world, focused most of his attention on teaching the four students.

He knew that only when Wanhua Academy became famous, his An family would be respected again when they went out, just like when his eldest brother was alive.

At this time, many of the teachers and students who had been recruited by Cang Yun Academy after the original owner's father died began to regret and wanted to come back.

The teacher regretted it because Cang Yun Academy had promised to give them more silver, but they only found out after the transfer from Wan Hua Academy.

The small courtyard allocated for teachers to live in was already full of the original teachers of Cangyun Academy, so they had to rent a house elsewhere.

In this way, the extra money they spend every month actually remains in their hands less than before.

Since there were only these two academies in Lin'an County, the teachers who left were afraid of being laughed at, so they had no choice but to accept it.

The students who left were more straightforward in their thoughts.

The six people including Li Ziyu who stayed in Wanhua Academy all knew each other when they were studying here.

Every day in class, some students are either looking out the window thinking about life, while others are not doing their homework and looking at the account books. The remaining few are either chatting secretly or sleeping on the table.

None of them listened to the lectures seriously, and the six of them always ranked last in the college examination.

They were all able to pass the provincial examination and become students of the Tongsheng program in just over a year under the guidance of the daughter of An Shanzhang.

There is no way these students, who are a hundred times better at studying than others, cannot do it.

There were many students who had such thoughts, and they all secretly sent letters home to ask people to intercede for them, hoping to return to Wanhua Academy to study.

Most of them were found at Aunt An's embroidery shop in the county town.

Aunt An started learning how to do business from her father when she was about ten years old, so she is not the kind of person who is confused.

She didn't hate those who left the college, but she didn't like them either, so she politely rejected everyone who came to ask for help.

Fortunately, although Li Ziyu and the other six people all passed the provincial examination, they were only students after all.

There were many scholars in Lin'an County, where literature flourished. After the initial shock, everyone gradually cooled down.

The number of students who asked for permission to come back to study gradually decreased, and Aunt An finally had some peace and quiet.
