This sound immediately made the crowd look in the direction where the gong sounded, waiting for the person who announced the results to come and post the list.
Then the person who posted the results arrived and quickly posted the list. The crowd that had been waiting around immediately gathered around, and the place where the list was posted was immediately packed.
Lu Yanzhou, who was far away, looked at the dark crowd under the list and couldn't help but stop his steps. Judging from the situation, he was afraid that he would have to wait for a while before he could go up and take a look.
There were so many people here, and it was far away from the list. From a distance, apart from circles of dark crowds, nothing else could be seen.
The list was crowded with people, and those at the front were mostly servants and guards who had servants at home. No one dared to approach an ordinary student like Lu Yanzhou.
They were all weak scholars, and how could they compare to the servants who worked all year round and the guards who knew martial arts.
If they go forward now, they don't know how they will be squeezed. It would be better for them to wait quietly not far away outside. Those who have taken a look at the list will naturally leave after seeing it and go back to their homes to report.
The number of people taking the imperial examinations each year is limited. After all, this examination and the palace examination are the final stages, and very few people can go to Beijing to take the exams.
The people who first squeezed in front to look at the list left one after another after reading the names on the list. Some of them had happy expressions on their faces, while others had serious faces.
Just by looking at the expressions on their faces, you can tell whether these people can pass the exam.
Lu Yanzhou waited for a long time not far away, until there were fewer people under the list. Then he stomped his numb feet and walked towards the list.
Seeing the list on the list, Lu Yanzhou suddenly became inexplicably nervous, remembering what he said to Lin Yunchu before leaving Qingxi Village.
At that time, he was very confident and asked Lin Yunchu to wait for his good news. But now that he was really standing at the bottom of the list, he became a little nervous when he thought of Lin Yunchu's face that was always smiling.
"Brother, you are also taking part in the scientific examination this time, right? Check to see if your name is on it."
A young man who looked like a scholar came alone to look at the list. Seeing that Lu Yanzhou seemed a little afraid to look up at the list, he couldn't help but smile and say something to him.
This man looked the same as he did just now. The more time passed, the more nervous he became. This was normal. The result would be the same anyway. It was too late to be nervous now.
Hearing the voice of the person next to him, Lu Yanzhou raised his head, curled the corners of his mouth towards that person in a friendly manner, and nodded as a greeting.
Then he turned around and looked up at the list posted above. Lu Yanzhou looked very carefully, checking each name one by one, until he didn't see his name in the top three.
There was no disappointment at all. The first three were the top three in the imperial examination, and the others were all tribute scholars.
Lu Yanzhou had already anticipated that he would not be able to get into the top three. Although he was well educated, Qingxi Village was remote after all, and there were many hidden talents outside.
It would be a blessing for him to be on the list, and he didn't think that he had to be in the top three.
Lu Yanzhou shook his head slightly, then read through the names on the list one by one, and soon found his name on the list.
Sixteenth place.
He passed the exam, and now he will be a tribute scholar in the future, which means he has repaid his hard work in studying for ten years and the expectations of his grandmother.
besides.......
He can now also give an explanation for what he said to Lin Yunchu before coming out.
When Lu Yanzhou found his name on the list, he felt relieved and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.
Seeing this, the young man who had just greeted him naturally guessed the result.
Without any grudge, she bowed slightly to him and congratulated him softly, "Congratulations, brother, on getting into high school!"
When the people around heard what the young man said, they all looked at Lu Yanzhou, with different expressions on their faces, some smiling, some indifferent.
Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou nodded slightly to the young man, then turned and left the list. In an instant, many people gathered around the list again.
This was Lu Yanzhou's first time taking the imperial examination, and he was able to pass it smoothly. Although he did not rank in the top three, it was already extremely lucky.
You should know that among those who participated in the scientific examination, in addition to some young people who were participating for the first time, there were also many older people, and even some who were in their fifties or sixties were still participating.
So Lu Yanzhou was able to pass the imperial examination this time, and ranked 16th. Although they were all tribute scholars, this ranking was relatively high, which also showed that his academic attainments were extremely high.
Since he was the only one looking at the list, Lu Yanzhou already knew the result. He quickly walked to a secluded place in the distance and calmed himself down for a while.
Although I had expected that I would be on the list, it was still different to see it with my own eyes and confirm the result.
Even though Lu Yanzhou was usually mature and calm, he was a little excited at this moment.
There were also screams coming one after another from the list not far away. It was inevitable not to be excited in this environment.
Lu Yanzhou clenched his fists tightly, with an unstoppable smile on his lips.
In a private room of a restaurant not far away, a young man in gorgeous clothes was looking at Lu Yanzhou who was trying to calm down in the distance.
An attendant at the back looked at Lu Yanzhou in the distance, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and he could not help but lower his voice and said to the gorgeously dressed young man:
"Sir, should we go meet Master Lu?"
The young man in gorgeous clothes in front shook his head slightly, watched Lu Yanzhou leave, then slowly turned around and saw the man's face clearly.
It turned out to be Xiao Er who had been rescued by Lu Yanzhou and Lin Yunchu before, and the person standing behind him was Chu Jiu who went to give a thank-you gift to the two of them.
"No, let's go see him after the appointment is made in a few days. There's no rush now."
When Chu Jiu heard this, he immediately nodded.
Indeed, it is good to know that Lu Yanzhou passed the exam now. There is no need to rush.
When the results of the previous joint examination were announced, Xiao Er had been paying attention to Lu Yanzhou's situation. This time, the results of the palace examination were announced, so he hurried over after finishing his work in the morning.
To be precise, as soon as Lu Yanzhou entered Kyoto, he sent Chu Jiu to secretly monitor Lu Yanzhou's whereabouts. If there was anything he needed their help with, he would naturally help out.
After all, he was seriously injured at the time. If Lu Yanzhou and Lin Yunchu had not rescued him, they would not have been willing to go to the town to invite a doctor for him.
