==Chapter 115==

After three rural examinations, August has passed for most of the month.

However, candidates who have taken the provincial examination generally will not leave and have to wait for the results to be released in early September.

The time for releasing the results is not fixed, but it is usually released before the tenth day of September, which means that candidates will have to wait for more than half a month.

During this period, groups of scholars could often be seen in various restaurants and teahouses, including brothels and Chu houses. They stayed up all night, playing and singing every night, as if they were in their final state of madness.

Xue Tingyan fell ill after leaving the examination room after the third exam.

It was also rainy days in a row, and even though he was fully prepared, he still caught a cold. Not to mention lying in bed to recuperate during this period, Yue Bu Dian also came to visit Xue Tingyan.

By the time Xue Tingyan recovered from his illness, it was already September.

In a blink of an eye, it’s the day to fill in the results. Whenever this day comes, even though they know that the results will be released tomorrow, all the candidates are very excited.

Many people even went to Gongyuan to inquire about the news. Mao Badou thought that Xue Tingyan had been bored in the room for many days, so he wanted to take him with him, but he refused.

Knowing that nothing can be found out, going there will not be in vain. It is better to wait for the day tomorrow.

On the second day, early in the morning, people from Beilu Academy were dressed and ready to go out. Lin Miao didn't plan to go. He had seen many joys and sorrows in front of Guibang, so he didn't plan to join in the fun this time.

When Xue Tingxiang and others arrived at Gongyuan, Gongyuan Street was already crowded with people.

The needle cannot be inserted, and the water cannot be poured in. Even with Mao Badou's skill, he can only be disappointed.

"Come on, let's go back. If we squeeze in like this, we will die or lose our skin."

So everyone had no choice but to go back.

After returning, Lin Miao saw that all the students were drooping, and he couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "Just wait quietly." If he really won, he would know without going there, and the lucky one would naturally come to his door.

After a while, Yue Butian also came.

Looking at his appearance, he seemed to have gone to Gongyuan, but he didn't squeeze in and come back.

"Why didn't you go? It's okay for people like me not to go. You should just join in the fun."

Yue Budian also knew that it was the first time for Xue Tingyan and others to take part in the provincial examination. Leng Touqing, who was passing out for the first time, was always full of confidence. He could not wait to see his name appear on the Guilean with his own eyes. How could he still sit there? live.

"Brother Yue didn't go either?"

Yue Budian laughed and scratched his head: "I'll forget it, there's not much hope anyway."

"Brother Yue shouldn't say that. With your talents, you will succeed sooner or later, so it's better not to be discouraged."

Yue Bu Dian laughed and said nothing, and Xue Tingyan naturally would not say any more.

The room was too stuffy, so a few of them went to sit in the lobby of the inn. There were many scholars like them, but most of them couldn't squeeze in and turned back to wait for the good news.

People were coming and going on the street, and there was a restless atmosphere in the air. They were all drinking tea and talking and laughing, but their eyes were looking out the door intentionally or unintentionally.

Suddenly, there seemed to be the sound of gongs and drums in the distance, followed by a burst of restlessness.

Because I was a little too far away, I couldn't hear clearly. After a while, I heard someone saying who had won and that the person who brought the good news had come to ask for the reward.

Everyone was talking a lot, even the common people passing by, seemed to be equally happy for the person who won the exam.

There was another sound of gongs and drums and crackling firecrackers. Some of the scholars who couldn't bear it had already gone out. After a while, they came back to discuss with their friends how the person who had won the examination was doing.

It seems that Taiyuan City seems to be extremely small today. After the two bursts of gongs and drums, there was a continuous one after another. It's no wonder that all the excitement comes here, it's because there are many inns here, and they are not far from Gongyuan, and the largest number of examination scholars live here.

The sound of gongs and drums entered the street, as if the membrane between people's ears was suddenly lifted off, and everything became extremely clear.

As the movement got closer and closer, people sitting in the lobby were all worried. Some people couldn't help but poke their heads out and wait until the band announcing the good news stopped in front of the inn.

A man dressed in red and full of joy strode in from the door with a smile on his face: "Good news, Mr. He Bichuan of Qingyuan County, I am happy to be ranked fourth in the Shanxi Provincial Examination in the sixth year of Jiacheng." Twelve."

"Am I hit?" Following this voice, a short and thin middle-aged man in his forties fell down from his chair with a plop. Faster than he fell, he was up again in an instant.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he was dancing with joy. He limped up to the messenger and asked: "I won? What is my surname and my given name is Bi Chuan. Is it true that I won?"

The messenger said: "If you are Mr. He Bi Chuan He, then you have won."

"I am He Bichuan, I am He Bichuan..."

Everyone sitting at the same table with him came up to congratulate him: "Congratulations, brother He."

"Congratulations, congratulations."

“Ten years of hard work in a cold window are finally not in vain.”

Here, Xue Tingyan and others looked at He Bichuan with dumbfounded smiles. They thought he was ridiculous and felt the same way.

If it were them who had been hit, I'm afraid they wouldn't be any better than him.

"This person can be regarded as a leader." Yue Bu Dian said.

"That's not the case."

"On such a festive day, how can tea and no wine be enough? Brother, bring the wine."

The waiter who had been standing on the edge watching the excitement hurriedly went to get the wine, and when the messenger was sent away, he also drank here.

Not only Yue Budian drank it, but Xue Tingyan and others also poured it for themselves. It seemed that drinking could suppress the restlessness in their hearts.

The entire lobby was extremely lively, but the center point was all around Nahe Bichuan. After ten years of studying hard in a cold window, if I win the exam today, I will be worthy of others.

What a sight!

After that, the news of good news came repeatedly, but it did not stop in front of the inn. On the contrary, the excitement outside never stopped.

The more lively it is outside, it means that the chance of winning the election is greatly reduced, and many scholars have lost their mentality. Some also asked for wine and drank it themselves, some made sarcastic remarks, and some were already planning to have lunch.

For example, Xue Tingyan and others.

Their actions also seemed to remind other college entrance examination students who are waiting for their results that it is really boring to sit like this all the time, so they should find something to do.

The innkeepers were busy again, taking orders and serving dishes to each table. Everyone ate, drank and talked. They seem to have no time to spare, but in fact they are all a bit distracted.

There was another sound of gongs and drums. By this time, no one seemed too excited, but just at this moment, the messenger stopped at the door of the inn.

"Good news, Mr. Liu, Liu Changyan of Leping County, is pleased to be ranked 21st in the Shanxi Provincial Examination in the sixth year of Jiacheng."

Liu Changyan stood up. He was from Beilu Academy.

"Congratulations, Brother Liu, congratulations."

Liu Changyan couldn't help but laugh a few times, stepped forward and took out some silver to reward him. This amount of money is absolutely necessary. If the reward is too small, I am afraid that the next day there will be news that so-and-so won the election, but is extremely stingy.

Then Beilu Academy seemed to be open, and three good news were given to them.

Others didn't know that they were from the same academy, they just thought they were walking together, and they were all envious. Some people even asked whether the feng shui of the courtyard they lived in was good. There were only a few places for the emperor, and they had already taken four of them.

Afterwards, their words seemed to be verified, and another piece of good news came, this time it was from Mao Badou.

Although Mao Badou looked ambitious, in fact he didn't expect that he could win. He just came to practice his skills, but he didn't expect to win.

It actually hit.

When this guy laughed at others, he was very good at it. Now when it was his turn, he was no better than others. He couldn't speak smoothly, and he even forgot about the reward. In the end, Xue Tingyan came forward to help him reward the person who brought the good news.

"Okay, okay, sit down quickly. If you can't bear it anymore, why don't you just go back to the house and laugh for a while?"

"I'm going to tell the teacher the good news."

Li Datian grabbed him: "Come on, don't go anywhere, just sit down."

In fact, it is not so much that Xue Tingyan and the four of them are waiting for happiness for themselves, but rather for Lin Miao. They are still young, whether they are successful or not, even if they may feel sad in their hearts, they will come back in three years at worst. But Lin Miao has already taken the exam many times. If he fails again this time.

In the following time, everyone felt heavy in their hearts.

Twenty people have already registered, and the rankings get higher as they go further down the line. Those who have a good idea of ​​their level probably know that they will not be able to reach the front. They look dejected and sigh repeatedly.

The Beilu Academy consecrated a few in a row, and then it seemed to be in a state of cessation. It was not until the end of the day that another one came.

This time it’s Chen Jian.

"Good news, Mr. Chen Jian and Chen from Xia County are delighted to be ranked fifth in the Shanxi Provincial Examination in the sixth year of Jiacheng."

"Ajian, congratulations."

After a while of congratulations, the bearer of the good news was sent away, and the waiting candidates had already gone back to their rooms. Already registered for fifth place.

Wu Jing Kui is not something people like them can win.

"Ting Yan, you can definitely win." Chen Jian said.

Xue Tingyan smiled and said nothing.

Wu Jingkui, if there was no such thing as Wu and Chen's family, he would be confident. But now——

Although Xue Tingyan always acted calm and controlled, in fact, she was very confused in her heart. He had even prepared for the worst. If he fails, he will go back to his hometown to study. He can take advantage of the free time to accompany Zhao'er, and avoid going to the capital to take the exam like in the dream, leaving her alone at home.

Thinking about this, my heart suddenly dissipated.

At this moment, the good news came again.

"Good news, Mr. Yue from Yuebu Peak in Yangqu County is delighted to be ranked third in the Shanxi Provincial Examination in the sixth year of Jiacheng."

Yue Budian, who had been drinking sullenly, suddenly raised his head, his eyes were bleary from drunkenness, but there was a very bright light hidden in them.

"Brother-in-law, congratulations."

Everyone was congratulating themselves here, and the sound of gongs and drums came again outside the door.

At this time, even the innkeeper couldn't help it anymore and stood by the door laughing until his mouth burst into laughter.

What kind of luck is he? He won seven in one inn. I think his store will be packed during the next provincial examination.

"Good news, Mr. Lin Miaolin of Xia County, is pleased to win the second place in the Shanxi Provincial Examination in the sixth year of Jiacheng."

"Teacher, teacher..." Mao Badou burst into tears and ran towards the back. Before he left the lobby, Lin Miao walked out of it.

I saw that his clothes were fluttering, and he had the demeanor of a great scholar. He was calm and calm, but he was not like other people who behaved in ugly ways.

"Why panic?"

"Teacher, you are successful."

Lin Miao nodded and walked forward to talk to the messenger.

Ya Yuan is the only existence second to Jie Yuan.

The scholars, who had already gone back to their rooms feeling sad, heard that there were three Wu Jing Kui in the inn, and they couldn't help but run out to watch the fun. Seeing that the teachers and students were in the same school, the teacher was Ya Yuan. They all came up to get close to him, wanting to know who this Ya Yuan was, and he actually taught two moves.

They regarded Yue Butian as Lin Miao's student.

The lobby was extremely lively, and even people from other inns came to see Yayuan's style.

Xue Tingyan, who was standing aside, smiled, and Chen Jian, who had been looking at him, said: "Tingyu, don't..."

He wanted to say don't be sad, but this kind of word really didn't match Xue Tingyan. Thousands of words finally turned into one sentence: "You are also unlucky. The draft was wet in the first game, and then again in the next two games." Yuhao, I got seriously ill again after taking the exam. If I fail this time, I will take the exam again next time, absolutely..."

He spoke a little incoherently. Chen Jian was not as talkative as Mao Badou, nor was he as good at words as Xue Tingyan. He was not good at words and usually did not talk much. But when he tried to comfort others, he even wanted to cover up his words. Face sigh.

"Okay, Ajian, I know what you want to say, I'm fine."

"That's okay." Chen Jian smiled in relief. He knew that Ting Yan was not the kind of person who cared too much about gains and losses. With his ability, if he failed this time, it was really God's fault and it was too unlucky.

Lin Miao finally finished dealing with the group of scholars who came to get close to him, and walked over.

He looked outside the door and saw that some time had passed since the announcement of the second place. The sound of blowing and beating could no longer be heard, which meant that the scholars from Zhongjieyuan were not here.

He looked at Xue Tingyan, the student he had the most hope for. Thinking of his disastrous provincial examination, he couldn't help but sigh and patted his shoulder: "Tingyan, don't be sentimental. In the teacher's heart, you should be the one who can solve the problem."

"Thank you teacher for your comfort. I didn't win this time. I'll try again next time, student..."

At this moment, there seemed to be some faint movement.

It's different from the previous one, it seems to be noisier. You can hear the sound of blowing and cheering, all mixed together to form one sound wave.

"What are you doing?"

Just as he was talking, a lion dancer appeared in front of the door. The five vivid lions are rolling and bowing in various silly ways, making people laugh. The drummers hit the leather drums hanging on their bodies with all their strength, as did the gongs and trumpets, making bursts of noise.

There was the sound of firecrackers and shouting. For a moment, we were so close, but we couldn't hear what the people around us were saying.

"Which restaurant is opening successfully? You really know how to choose the day."

"Why did you choose to cause trouble here? Boss, isn't this hindering your family's business?"

The innkeeper was smiling all over his face and his eyes were shining brightly. He seemed to have said something, but no one could hear him clearly. The guy was also talking, but unfortunately he could only see his mouth moving.

At this moment, the lions suddenly separated, and they all made a posture of holding a hydrangea. A man in a bright red short brown suit with a red scarf on his head trotted forward.

After a break from the sound of firecrackers, I heard him congratulate loudly: "Good news, Mr. Xue Tingyu, Huyang Township, Xia County, is delighted to be ranked first in the Shanxi Provincial Examination in the sixth year of Jiacheng, Jieyuan!"

"Ting Huan, Ting Huan!"

"Ting Yan, you are hit!"

Xue Tingyan was crowded in front of people, and she looked at the scene in a daze, thinking in her heart how much money she would have to reward to satisfy these people. If there is no news tomorrow, the newly appointed Master Jieyuan is too stingy, and he is simply an iron rooster. Not a penny was plucked.

……

In the end, Xue Tingyan took out all the money he had, and Mao Badou and others collected some more before sending these messengers away.

Since they have put on such a big show and are here to announce good news and bring glory to you, you are too stingy. Don’t think that these are all given away for free, they all require money.

But the money was well spent. Just because of this movement, half of the people in Taiyuan City were attracted. If it were anyone else, he would give it even if he lost everything.

Actually, this is just a routine used by those who report good news every time the results of the provincial examination are released.

Jie Yuan, the first place, how can you do it if you don't come up with some tricks?

The innkeeper knew it before, but unfortunately there was too much noise and no one heard that he was actually saying that this was to announce the good news to Master Jieyuan.

The results were released, and it was full of ups and downs. Those who won were cheering for joy, while those who didn’t were dejected. There are also big men who cry like a man in tears, and inevitably get drunk and go crazy.

Among the four sons of Qingyuan, Mao Badou all won, but Li Datian did not, which is also a pity.

Li Datian needs to try his best to explain that he is not as sad as others think. He was a little disappointed. After all, the four of them passed the county, government and hospital examinations together, and now they came to the provincial examination, but he was the only one left behind.

Maybe I had expected it before the end, and I also knew how much I weighed, so I really didn’t hit it, but it wasn’t too surprising.

On the other hand, Mao Badou pulled off a big upset. Even Lin Miao didn't expect him to win. This may be because once a person has a goal, he can unleash his infinite potential.

Afterwards, Li Datian also joked that it seemed like he should find someone he likes.

This was naturally meant for Mao Badou. Mao Badou had promised that he would win the election to prove that he was more capable than the man surnamed Li. It was time to propose to Lin Yanran and let him marry her. She has enough dignity.

He himself thought so. As for what Lin Yanran thought, or even what Lin Miao thought, it is unknown.
