Chapter 216 Mom, I passed the exam

The next day, there was no big news from the Duke of Jin's Mansion. Chen Yunyu was recuperating at home due to illness. It was unknown whether he had not guessed who the thug was, or had guessed it but was unable to pursue the matter.

Anyway, life in the Marquis' Mansion is pretty good. The three people who hired thugs but kept it secret from each other were all very satisfied with Buyan's performance.

After the farce was over, the private instructors of the key classes came back and the kids resumed their normal teaching schedule.

After finishing the boy's examination, Xu Wan began to prepare for the formal imperial examination. She divided the subjects for them, specifically: geography, military, people's livelihood, management, etc. Baili Xi was the main lecturer, breaking down each field and stuffing it into the three children.

The results of the etiopathogenes are long.

But it was very fast.

In early April, the list was posted and students crowded around to see it.

"Make way, make way, oh I can't squeeze through, is this how you treat a boy? I'm the future top scholar!" The little devil started howling when he couldn't squeeze through the crowd.

Someone in the crowd said to him, "Come on, I'm still the future prime minister!"

"You bastard, you are blind to the truth. I am not bragging, I have the power!"

"You all dare to come and participate in the Boy's Examination. Who of you doesn't have the strength yet? Get out of the way and don't crowd me."

"Please don't squeeze me!" the little devil said angrily.

Xu Wan couldn't stop laughing. She turned around and asked, "Cui Liu, aren't you martial artists all very good at hearing and seeing? Can you see Jin Cheng's name?"

Cui Liu looked at the list that was tens of thousands of miles away: "..."

Madam, I am not a clairvoyant.

Xu Wan held her chin in her hand and thought: "Even if Bu Yan wanted to see it, he would have to step on these people's heads to see it. But this is too rude, isn't it?"

Cui Liu: “…”

Not only that, you might even be beaten by a group of people.

Xu Wan said politely, "Then let Jincheng squeeze in. I think he's the most aggressive and should see the results before He Zheng. As for Wenxiu, this kid... let him withdraw from the competition. He was embarrassed to squeeze with others, but was squeezed further away and was ineffective in the competition."

"Yes, Madam, I will go and call Master Xiu back now."

Zong Jincheng rushed forward, pushing away one person after another, like a little bull, forcing the people in front of him to move out of the way. Soon, he reached the top of the boy's class and looked up excitedly:

"Tongzike list, first place: Qin Ye."

“…”

The little devil's smile disappeared in a second.

Although there was no name of the academy, no class for children, and even no age or region, he just knew that it was Qin Ye, the arrogant, cold-blooded, and arrogant Qin Ye!

Damn it, why is he first again!

First of all, is it owned by his family?

Zong Jincheng was so angry that he glared at the name of the first place. It was obvious that Qin Ye would become even more arrogant in the future, and all the students in the capital would bow down to him.

As expected, the surroundings soon began to flatter him: "It's Qin Ye! It's our Qin Ye from the capital. He actually defeated the Jiangnan people, who are rich in talents, and won the top spot in the Boy's Examination in one fell swoop!"

"He is a student of our Qingbo Academy, which is only ranked fourth in the capital. What does this mean, brothers? This means we also have a chance! Quick, look for the list!"

A group of people excitedly flipped through the list, pushing Zong Jincheng back, making the little devil's face darker: "Stop pushing, I haven't even looked at the ranking yet!"

"Huh? Zong Jincheng?" Someone recognized him. "Congratulations, you made the list too!"

The little devil's eyes lit up and he said happily, "Of course, it's easy. If Qin Ye can pass the exam, I'm sure I can do well too!"

The man laughed and said, "There are only 120 young men in the country every year. It's really amazing to be on the list. But your name seems to be at the end, not here."

The little devil's smiling face suddenly fell.

I thought this person was complimenting him, but I didn't expect him to do this suddenly.

Enemies, all enemies!

The little devil looked back with a gloomy face, muttering: "If it's not in the 20th place, then it's 30th. It can't be below 40th at most. 50th is too embarrassing..."

"There's not even one ranked 60. What's going on? Did I miss it just now?" Zong Jincheng finally squeezed in. Although he was puzzled, he continued to read on. "There must be one ranked 80... Why isn't there one yet?"

The little devil moved his steps with difficulty. Although he still looked proud on the surface, his mentality was no longer as arrogant as before. He begged for mercy in his heart: "Respected Master Wenquxing, please open your eyes. You can't treat your successor like this. It will be embarrassing if he ranks last in the exam. Can we make concessions to each other and rank within 110th place?"

The little devil closed his eyes and prayed, then opened them and saw—

Not again!

"How damned! There really is no Wenquxing in this world. I have to climb up to become the real Wenquxing myself!"

The little devil gritted his teeth and looked back, his dark face becoming even darker.

"No. 119: Zong Wenxiu; No. 120: Zong Jincheng."

The little devil's eyes went dark, and he almost wanted to tear up the list again.

But no one gave him a chance because there were too many students who were anxious to see their grades, and they squeezed him out without paying attention.

Little Devil: “???”

Is this how you treat a talented boy?

"Brother! Did you see my name?" He Zheng finally squeezed over and saw the little devil just being squeezed out, quickly waving at him excitedly.

Zong Jincheng's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, I worked so hard and have such a talent, but I only got last in the exam. It would be strange if a fool like you could make the list.

"No, come back next year."

He Zheng exclaimed, curling his lips and said, "That's too much. I don't even give you any face. I'm really just a runner-up. What about you? Did you and Brother Wen Xiu pass the exam?"

Zong Jincheng coughed, cleared his throat and said, "Of course, it's easy, I have it in my hands, no suspense!"

He Zheng's eyes lit up with admiration: "Wow! So amazing! You are so strong! I envy you so much! Boys, boys, our key class has produced two boys! Quick, let's report it to Auntie!"

The little devil looked at Xu Wan in the distance. She was also looking over here, and must be very curious about their results.

He patted He Zheng on the shoulder and said, "Let's go home and have a celebration party."

"Great! Let's eat and drink to our heart's content! Let's welcome you all!" He Zheng is still the best supporting actor.

The little devil wanted to pretend that he had failed the exam, and then give Xu Wan a surprise. But it was too difficult to suppress the smile, so he ran faster and faster, and became happier and happier, thinking only of telling her the good news as soon as possible.

"Mom, I passed the exam to become a Tong Zi Lang. My brother and I passed together! Many people have taken the exam for many years but still failed. My brother and I passed it in our first try! Isn't that amazing?!"
