September 14th, the last military examination.
Cheng Jinyan rested for a night and got up the next day full of energy to watch his brother's competition.
The Cheng family and the Tao family set out together. Cheng Jinxing had to go first to determine the order of the competition.
As a result, before the Cheng family arrived at the examination room, they were stopped by three people.
"Miss!"
The three of them saluted Xue Hanyu.
"Uncle Gui, you guys are here today! I thought it would be a while!"
Xue Hanyu greeted people with a smile.
"Hanyu, what is this?"
Gu Xuelan looked at the three people in front of her and asked in confusion.
"Sister-in-law, this is my housekeeper. I wrote back last month and it must be someone Dad sent to take me back."
Xue Hanyu explained.
"Ah! It's the housekeeper! Look at Hanyu..."
Jiang didn't want Xue Hanyu to leave at all. If she went home to get married with Ji Mingxuan, she would have nothing to say, but now that Ji Mingxuan was going to be the prince consort, she didn't want Xue Hanyu to go back and suffer.
"Aunt, sister-in-law, Sister Huiyun, can you go first? I want to talk to Uncle Gui for a while!"
Xue Hanyu said.
"How about I stay with you?"
Gu Xuelan suggested.
She felt that these three people did not look like housekeepers, but Xue Hanyu looked like someone she knew, which was very strange.
"No need, sister-in-law. This place is so close to the exam hall, I won't get lost. I told Uncle Gui and the others something, I'll be there soon!"
Xue Hanyu said with a smile.
"That's right. Then Hanyu, you must come soon. If you have trouble settling in, send someone to Huiyun."
Jiang's way.
"Okay, Auntie. I'll be right there as soon as I say a few words to them!"
Xue Hanyu nodded.
So, a few people left.
The main reason was that Xue Hanyu had been behaving very normally recently, and the Cheng family thought she had recovered. Or maybe it was because she hadn't met Ji Mingxuan and the two hadn't been in love for long, or maybe she knew that the imperial power was difficult to resist, so she figured it out.
Soon, the last round of the provincial examination began.
The place was very lively, with many girls shouting Cheng Jinxing's name, one louder than the other.
Of the last twenty or so people left, except for Cheng Jinxing who had a cold face, the others all had very sour faces.
"See, sister-in-law, I told you that my nephew Jinxing is very popular!"
Cheng Minhong was also very excited.
"This brat! He doesn't even know how to smile. He has such a stern face!"
Gu Xuelan smiled.
She is also very happy to see that her son is so popular!
The last round of the provincial examination is very simple, based on a points system.
Twenty-five people, one-on-one, one point for a win, no points for a loss, and it's a round-robin competition. The one who gets thirteen points first passes.
Person number one goes on stage against person number two. If number two loses, number three comes on stage. If number three loses, number four comes on stage. If number one wins all the way until number fourteen, then number one passes, can secure a spot, and goes down.
Next, start from the 25th and move forward one by one.
If number one fails to accumulate thirteen points at once, he will be given a bye.
For example, if number one beats number two and number three, but loses to number four, then number four will take over and play against number five and number six, and so on.
Anyway, whoever accumulates thirteen points first will pass. With ten people accumulating the required points, the number of martial arts candidates who pass the provincial examination will be determined.
Cheng Jinxing drew number seven.
Soon, the first six were finished.
Number One did not succeed in reaching Cheng Jinxing. It was Number Three who reached him.
