The people of the country love to watch the excitement. Today, the county government rarely held a trial in the hall, and not only did people from Caijia Lane come, but many idle people from Yaqian Street also gathered.

As they craned their necks to see the critical moment, they heard a cannon shot behind them, which frightened them all.

When I looked back, I saw a team of Yingtian Prefecture officials wearing bright red uniforms, holding high red notices, and coming from the direction of Yingtian Prefecture with music and drums.

"Good news, Mr. Zhao's name is Shouzheng, he passed the provincial examination in Yingtian Prefecture and ranked seventh. He was listed in the Beijing newspaper!"

As the reporters walked forward, they shouted in unison to spread the news.

"Hey, who passed the imperial examination in Yaqian Street?" The officials at the gate of the county government were still wondering, but Li Jiutian was sharp-eyed and immediately saw the three big characters "Zhao Shouzheng" on the notice. He hurriedly stumbled in and shouted loudly, "Passed, passed, Mr. Zhao passed!"

Needless to say, the men in Caijia Lane had already heard the good news. Now they no longer cared about the silence in the court and started shouting loudly, with the sound so loud that it could blow the roof of the county government office off!

There was chaos outside the lobby, and it was also in chaos inside the lobby.

"Ah! OK! I got it!"

When Zhao Shouzheng heard that he had passed the imperial examination, he excitedly hugged Zhao Hao and screamed.

"Son, I got it. I finally got it! I got it!"

Zhao Hao was almost strangled to death again. He was worried that his father would become as confused as Mr. Fan, so he had to pat his father's back hard to help him calm down.

Wang Wuyang and Hua Shuyang also came over and congratulated their master. Tang Youde was a step late and couldn't get over, but he had to vent his joy, so he took Liu Yuanwai's hand and shook it vigorously.

"Congratulations! Congratulations!"

Mr. Liu was already feeling like he had eaten a fly, and Tang Youde's shaking almost made him vomit. He angrily shook off Tang Youde's fat hand, and bowed to Magistrate Zhang on the high hall, saying, "My Lord, please ignore these lunatics, and make a judgment quickly!"

"This..." Magistrate Zhang hesitated. Zhao Shouzheng's words were still ringing in his ears. He actually passed the imperial examination. Magistrate Zhang had no choice but to think twice before making a decision.

"He's just a juren, there's nothing to be afraid of!" Mr. Liu wanted to bang the gavel for his old parents. He kept winking at County Magistrate Zhang and even raised two fingers!

"This..." County Magistrate Zhang was even more hesitant now, holding the gavel in one hand, not knowing whether to knock it down or put it down.

At this moment, another cannon shot was heard outside.

Then, another reporter loudly announced the good news outside the county government office: "Good news! The master of Huafu, whose name is Shuyang, won the second place in the provincial examination of Yingtianfu. He was also listed in the imperial journal!"

With a bang, another ladle of boiling water was added to the boiling oil, and the pot immediately exploded!

"Another one, another one, Master Hua won the second place!"

“That’s amazing!”

Everyone in Caijia Lane shook the fence vigorously to vent their excitement.

Now it was Hua Shuyang's turn to hug Zhao Hao excitedly and shout and jump.

Wang Wuyang and Zhao Shouzheng hurriedly congratulated him.

Tang Youde failed to squeeze in again, so he had to pull Liu Yuanwai's hand again. He never expected that Zhao Hao's casual apprentice could actually pass the imperial examination and get such a high ranking!

"Congratulations!"

"I'm so happy for you..." Mr. Liu wanted to kick him, but this time he didn't dare to shake off the other's hand, let alone say anything nonsense.

Suzhou and Wuxi are closely connected, and he still relies on the Hua family, but he dare not spoil the young master's happiness...

He had no choice but to look at the master with a bitter face while being shaken.

The master spread his hands and stopped rubbing his fingers.

Magistrate Zhang stood up and bowed to express his congratulations to the two new scholars, especially Hua Shuyang.

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, Hua Shuyang leaned on Zhao Hao's shoulder and burst into tears.

The crying sounded heart-wrenching, as if she was extremely heartbroken.

"These are tears of joy..." Zhao Shouzheng's eyes were originally shallow, and seeing this brought back memories. When he thought of the hardships he had suffered over the past twenty years, he couldn't help but shed tears of release.

But Hua Shuyang cried, "Master, I didn't pass the exam, I'm sorry to disappoint you..."

"Pfft..." Zhao Shouzheng was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

County Magistrate Zhang's face turned pale and blue. He had taken exams for more than 30 years and finally won the 108th place in the Sichuan provincial examination. He regarded it as the happiest thing in his life.

But look at him, he got second place, and the second place in the most difficult Yingtian Prefecture County Examination in the world, and he actually cried like a tearful person.

Is there any justice in this? Why did you let me see such an annoying scene?

Zhao Hao couldn't criticize him anymore at this time. He patted Hua Shuyang on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't cry. Just try to get the first place in the exam next time."

"Thank you, Master. I will try my best." Hua Shuyang left Zhao Hao sobbing and bowed to Wang Wuyang who was comforting him, saying, "Brother is still better. I admit defeat."

Wang Wuyang looked extremely strange, with a look of joy and worry at one moment. Hearing this, he quickly waved his hands and said, "It's not certain whether I won or not..."

"That's right, how can it be so good? The first two places have been taken by their family." Magistrate Zhang secretly complained, clasped his fists again, and just as he was about to speak, he heard three consecutive cannon shots.

Then came the louder voice of the proclamation:

"Good news, good news, good news!"

"Good news! The master of the palace, Zhou Shao, has won the first place in the provincial examination of Yingtian Prefecture. He is the first today and will win the third place tomorrow!"

County Magistrate Zhang weakly sat back in his seat, looking up at the mirror-like plaque hanging above his head, wishing that the plaque would fall down and crush the beasts in front of him to death.

Not only were the residents of Caijia Lane in an uproar, the entire county government office was in a frenzy. Even the third shift of yamen runners dropped their water and fire sticks and came forward to congratulate Judge Jie Yuan and ask for rewards.

Fatty Tang almost fainted. He didn't expect that the boy who served him tea and water all day long would become Lord Li Yuan.

I heard that all the Jie Yuangongs are stars from heaven who have descended to earth. Will this shorten my life span?

Who on earth is this Mr. Zhao? Why are all his disciples so powerful?

Wang Wuyang only had Zhao Hao in his eyes. Now it was his turn to hug Zhao Hao tightly, and he cried out excitedly: "Master, I did it! I want to go to class!"

"Let me go, Master. Who will teach you if you strangle me to death?" Zhao Hao slapped Wang Wuyang's arm, which was too excited and he didn't know how to control the strength. After being beaten by three people in turn, he felt like he was going to fall apart.

Wang Wuyang quickly let go of Zhao Hao, scratching his head and laughing awkwardly.

Zhao Hao rolled his eyes at him, then smiled and said, "Good disciple, you are worthy of being my first disciple!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Master!" Wang Wuyang was happier than Zhong Liyuan when he heard that, and his face was full of smiles.

"Master..." Hua Shuyang on the side lowered his head in frustration and looked at Zhao Hao with resentment.

"You're great too. You passed the test just like my senior brother." At this time, there was naturally no need for Zhao Hao to be picky anymore.

"Thank you, Master!" Hua Shuyang immediately became full of energy and said, "Brother, let's compete again in the exam!"

"I'm afraid that my junior brother will still lose to me." Wang Wuyang was in a state of vigor and vitality, so how could he weaken his voice? ?

Zhao Shouzheng watched with a smile from the side. He was thankful to God and his ancestors for passing the exam, but he would not get involved in this kind of emotional dispute between top candidates.
