Chapter 505

September 15th, the day of the township examination.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao didn't take this matter to heart at first, but a lot of people came early in the morning.

Zhao Lingfeng, Han Tong, Tian Jin'an, and many neighbors all ran over.

There were a lot of people in Xie's house all of a sudden, and it was very lively.

Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu didn't stay at home, but also came here to join in the fun, and said to Lu Jiao.

"Jiaojiao, quickly send someone to the county government to have a look, maybe the list has already been posted."

Lu Jiao didn't think it was necessary, the one who should come would always come, the difference was whether Xie Yunjin was the first place in the provincial examination this year, Xie Yuan, he would definitely be on the list.

"Grandma, let's wait at home. The Ningzhou Yamen has finished posting the list at the county government, and will definitely come over to deliver the letter as soon as possible."

Grandma Liu thought about it, she nodded with a smile.

"It's me who's thinking about it. This matter has already been settled. What should I worry about?"

Lu Jiao looked at Grandma Liu and asked about Liu Ziyan.

"How did Ziyan do in the exam?"

"Listen to him, it's neither good nor bad, it should be okay in the exam."

After hearing this, Lu Jiao felt that Liu Ziyan should have done well in the provincial examination, because Liu Ziyan had received the materials sent by his chief assistant's father, and knew a little about the examiner who invigilated the examination. In this way, the results will not be too bad.

"Grandma, when Ziyan wins the exam, are you going back to Beijing?"

Grandma Liu nodded, feeling a bit reluctant in her heart. She had lived in Qinghe County for many years, but now she left suddenly, she felt reluctant.

She turned her head to look at Lu Jiao and said, "Jiaojiao, are you going to Beijing too? Let our two families come to Beijing together so that we can take care of each other."

As soon as Grandma Liu said, Lu Jiao agreed, and said with a smile: "Then we will go to Beijing with Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu."

"well."

While the two were talking, there was an eager sound of horseshoes outside the door. Inside Xie's house, everyone heard the movement and thought it was the Ningzhou Yamen who came to announce the good news, but Xiao Shan led the people out to have a look, and found that the person who came was Qinghe County School Dean Lu, Master Wang and others.

Dean Lu, Master Wang and others had joyful smiles on their faces.

Before they entered Xie's house, they called out first: "Yun Jin, where is Yun Jin, get ready, the yamen who reported the letter will be here soon, get ready for the happy money."

The housekeeper Xiao Shan immediately said loudly: "We have all prepared the money for the happy event."

Not only prepared the happy money as a reward, each red envelope is one hundred taels, but also prepared three big baskets of copper coins to distribute the happy money.

In the courtyard, Xie Yunjin heard the voices of Dean Lu and Mrs. Wang, and came out early.

"Dean, Master."

Dean Lu excitedly ran over and patted Xie Yunjin on the shoulder, and said loudly: "Yun Jin, you really gave us the face of Qinghe county magistrate. This time, you are Jieyuan from Ningzhou."

As soon as Dean Lu finished speaking, Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao settled down.

Congratulations suddenly sounded from all around: "Congratulations to Yun Jin, no, it should be congratulations to Xie Jieyuan."

"The next one will be Xie Zhuangyuan."

"From now on, Jiaojiao will be the official wife."

"Jiaojiao, if you become an official wife, will you ignore us and refuse to see a doctor for us?"

Lu Jiao looked at them with a smile and said, "What are you talking about? No matter who I become in the future, I will treat people."

The people around laughed all of a sudden.

After Dean Lu and Master Wang congratulated Xie Yunjin, they said happily again when they saw Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu.

"Grandpa Liu, Grandma Liu, you are here too, and I am here to congratulate you too. This time, Ziyan got the thirteenth place in the provincial examination, which is not bad."

Now the people around ran to Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu to congratulate her again.

Although Liu Ziyan only got the thirteenth place in the exam, the neighbors around him knew that it was because of his poor health. If he was in good health and worked hard for a few years, he might be able to compete with Xie Xiucai for the provincial exam.

He has been in poor health for so many years, and in the end he even passed the 13th place in Ningzhou Prefecture. This young man is amazing.

Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu were so happy that they closed their mouths from ear to ear, and said loudly: "We will invite everyone to dinner later, and everyone must come."

Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu have interacted with the neighbors since Liu Ziyan got well. They are hospitable and generous, so they are very popular with the neighbors.

As soon as Grandma Liu opened her mouth, the neighbors responded loudly: "Okay, I will definitely go."

Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu turned to look at Lu Jiao and said, "Jiaojiao, we're going home to prepare rewards. The government officials from Ningzhou will definitely come to announce the good news later. We have to prepare the happy money."

"Okay, grandma, let's go back."

The two old people left happily.

Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu had just left, and the Ningzhou government officials rushed over to announce the good news.

The Ningzhou Yamen sent the happy news to Qinghe County. They first went to the county government to post the list, and then went to the homes of various scholars to announce the good news.

Dean Lu and Mrs. Wang went to the county government office to wait early in the morning. As soon as the list was posted, they saw it and rushed over happily to tell Xie Yunjin.

"Happy news, good news, Xie Yunjin in Xiejia Village, Qinghe County is a scholar, and Jie Yuan is the first name in the high school township examination."

"Xie Yun would like to thank the scholar, this time he won the first place in the township examination, Xie Yuan."

The two yamen servants shouted all the way to the door of Xie's house.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao rushed out to greet her, and the Yacha jumped off the horse, happily delivering the good news.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao were overjoyed when they received the happy news, and they both ordered the butler Xiao Shan in unison: "Take the servants to drink tea."

The two yamen servants quickly refused: "No, we have to deliver letters to other homes. Since Xie Jieyuan is the first name, we are the first to deliver letters to Xie's home."

Xie Yunjin immediately thanked him gently: "Thank you, Brother Yacha."

Butler Xiao hurriedly handed over the red envelopes, one hundred taels of silver bills per person.

The yacha weighed it with his hand, it was light and light, and it was a silver ticket, no accident.

Since the banknotes are given, at least fifty taels to one hundred taels.

The two of them were trembling with joy, and today's happy event came through the back door with a gift from them.

I didn't expect to get such a big happy money, so happy.

The two said repeatedly: "Then let's go first."

Xie Yunjin sent them out, and asked again on the way: "How many did we pass the exam in Qinghe County this time?"

"Six in total."

Ningzhou prefecture recorded a total of 320 candidates in this township examination, and Qinghe County passed six. Six people are not many, but this year Ningzhou Jieyuan came from Qinghe County, so Qinghe County is considered famous.

"Mr. Hu Shan, Zheng Zhixing, Du Yi and Jiang Yuansheng, can they pass the exam?"

Xie Yunjin asked with concern, the yacha thought for a while, and said quickly: "Mr. Zheng Zhixing passed the exam 76, Mr. Jiang Yuansheng passed the exam 168, and Mr. Hu Shan passed the exam 320." , was the last one, and as for Du Yi you mentioned, he didn't pass the exam."
