"Thank goodness the master didn't come."
"Yeah, I'm practically a meat patty, how come there are so many people?"
Besides looking at the master, we also need to look at the master and his tutor. They have instructed us to be careful and not to miss anyone, from top to bottom.
The results are about to be released!
The crowd stirred, and everyone pushed and shoved forward. Two burly men from the Zhao family, relying on their height and strength, firmly secured positions at the front.
"They're here! They're here!"
The yamen runners came out carrying a large red list.
"Make way! Don't push!"
As soon as the list was posted on the wall, everyone craned their necks.
The two men from the Zhao family were literate; otherwise, they wouldn't have been sent. They started by looking at the last name:
No.
Look ahead.
Still no.
The two exchanged a glance, their hearts sinking. It was over; their son-in-law hadn't passed the exam? Not only was his name not listed, but even his tutor wasn't there.
The imperial examination for the title of Juren is truly difficult!
"Looking closely, I think I missed the middle part."
"I think so too."
"I passed the exam! I passed the exam!"
"Thank God, I passed the exam! Hahaha... I passed! I passed!"
"Xiao Lei?! Our master passed the exam too! He passed the exam!"
They said they couldn't see it; those two idiots didn't even look in the middle.
"Quickly check if there's a teacher there, be careful!"
"Hey!"
Those around them were incredibly envious when they heard that their master had passed the exam. Since they were the ones who brought the news, they were sure to receive a generous reward.
Sigh, their master is once again a runner-up this year. Three years of hard work have gone down the drain, all for nothing.
To be honest, they all felt sorry for their master after seeing this, and said, "What kind of thing is this?"
The two looked carefully twice, and after confirming that the teacher's name was not there, they prepared to leave and go home to share the good news.
But……
"Damn it, let me out! Let me out!"
People outside couldn't squeeze in, and those inside couldn't get out; they were squeezed into a pulp.
"Make way!"
The two of them pushed and shoved, and it took a lot of effort to push through the crowd and squeeze to the very edge.
"Phew, that's terrifying. These people are incredibly fierce."
"Stop talking, hurry home and tell them the good news!"
"Hurry up!"
Zhao Dashu seemed to have needles stuck in his buttocks; he couldn't sit still for a moment and paced back and forth in the room.
Why haven't they come back yet?
"The list might not even be posted yet, but these two are really stubborn; they actually went to queue up last night. I wonder if they got cold?"
"Probably not, they said they were carrying a blanket when they went out. Honey, should I go out and greet them?"
"Dad, what's done is done. If you pass the exam, you pass; if you don't, you won't pass it no matter where you go. Don't bother anymore. Just stay home and wait patiently."
Zhao Dashu was speechless. How could his daughter be so calm? That was her husband.
I wasn't really looking forward to becoming the wife of a scholar before?
"Yeah, sit down right now, you're making my eyes blurry."
Old Master Qian was truly dizzy and confused by Zhao Dashu's entanglement.
I know he's anxious, and he's just as anxious, but Xiaoyu is right, there's no use being anxious now.
This young couple is really good at keeping their composure; they're more composed than all the old men.
"They're here! The master and the others are back!"
