Chapter 101
Discussions in front of the Tribute Court continued one after another.There are also merchants who come here specially to stay here, and they ask "do you have land at home" when they meet people.

A scholar of Liangyan can be exempted from the land tax of [-] mu of land.

There are very few scholars in the county who have land. As long as these merchants put their land in the name of the scholar and pay half of the usual tax and grain as remuneration, they will make money.

Several people asked about Li Hui's side, but his own and Yan Yixin's were all over the limit, so how could it be possible for others to hang up.

Finally, the gate of the Gongyuan opened, and the bustling discussions stopped instantly.

Then, a lot of people ran out from inside with a huff.When the last one came out, he began to read aloud the top ten candidates in this year's college examination.

No.1 is an acquaintance of Li Hui, Zhou Fei and others - Ji Peng, named Yucheng.

When hearing the name, Cheng Xue immediately looked at Zhou Fei, with a look of unwillingness.Sensing this, Lien turned his head and nodded slightly at her, and she responded with a smile.

Then came the second, third, fourth...

In the eyes of Li Hui and Cheng Xue, a college entrance examination is not as difficult as the college entrance examination.Who would have thought that the Gongyuan would only announce the top ten, and Li Hui didn't even catch a tail.

Master Chen taught a total of ten students this year, and five of them entered the top ten, and Zhou Fei ranked eighth.

It would be a lie to say that he is not lost, after all, Li Hui is a top student in modern times.From the day I decided to take the scientific examination when I came here, I went to bed later than a dog and woke up earlier than a chicken every day.

You worked so hard, didn't you make it into the top ten?Ancient scientific research is so difficult? !
Seeing his loss, Cheng Xue walked up to him, gently tugged at his sleeve, and said in a low voice:

"It doesn't matter if you don't make it into the top ten, our family is not short of that little rice."

"That's right, brother, it doesn't have to be a dry birth, but it's also okay to have a second birth. We mainly take the provincial and general exams." Xiao Qinglin also comforted in a low voice.

Li Hui stared expressionlessly at the notice board not far away, and for a moment he was a little afraid to go forward.

To be honest, he was not as nervous as he is now on the day of checking the results of the college entrance examination.If he really fails, not only will he fail Xiao Qinglin's arrangement, but he will also be ashamed to face his allies and children at home.

He planned to talk to her just after the ranking, but now he can't, he has no qualifications and no face to talk about it.

Looking at the crying and laughing people around him, he dared not step forward.

Many older students who failed to pass out passed out directly.Cheng Xue originally wanted to go up to have a look, but she didn't expect that the Gongyuan was well prepared. Many doctors were here, and when they found out, they immediately went to treat them.

Some people were happy and some were sad, she really wanted to go up to help check the ranking, but she was afraid that if he didn't win, her behavior would hurt his self-esteem.

finally--

"I got it, I got it. Dad, you got it."

Hearing Li Hengyue's loud voice, Li Hui and the others quickly stepped forward, and then...

No.11, Li Hui actually ranked No.11.

"Pfft—" Cheng Xue couldn't hold back, and chuckled softly.

When she smiled, Xiao Qinglin laughed too, and finally Li Hui himself laughed too.

The children were taken aback by their laughter. It is indeed a happy thing to have such a good ranking, but why do the adults laugh so... so wrong?
"Okay, this name is very good, what kind of bicycle do you want. Hehe..."

Cheng Xue was talking and laughing in such a small voice that only the two of them could hear it.Li Hui sighed amusedly, it seemed that he had to work harder when he went back, otherwise he might lose his name in the provincial examination.

Looking further down, Wang Sen ranks No. 30 and [-], and Du Pingren's name is at the end.

In this year's Pingyang County examination, a lot of places for scholars have been given, which is the most since the founding of the Dynasty!This is also because the titles of many old scholars have been cancelled.

Seeing his grandson among them, Mr. Du burst into tears in joy.It doesn't matter whether the ranking is first or not (mo), as long as you win, you are a hero.

So many old students with grandsons failed the exam, how old is his grandson?Besides, a scholar is enough to support himself, go to the academy to teach, and it costs two taels of silver a month!
The future certainly holds promise.

After laughing, I first congratulated Li Hui, and then thanked him.Wang Sen also came over to thank Cheng Xue for his treatment that day, and Li Hui for donating the questions.

"Brother, sister-in-law, brother Qinglin. My daughter-in-law went to the market yesterday to buy a lot of things. I know you don't want to go to the restaurant, so you stay at my house. The food at home is comfortable. Uncle Du and Pingren also go together, recognize the door, and we will Come and go often."

"Yeah, big brother, come with your grandson, let me have a good drink. Let me tell you, I sealed a jar of wine on the first day he was studying, and I just waited for him to open it. Originally, I would I wanted to bring it into the coffin, but I didn't expect him to be up to the mark. Today I will have the cheek to bring it back to the coffin, and none of you are allowed to refuse."

If someone said something for this sake, he naturally couldn't refuse it.

Everyone nodded, and then Mr. Du said that he would go to their house to eat stir-frying stove the next day.Seeing this, Cheng Xue couldn't let go, so she said that she would come to their house for barbecue the day after tomorrow.

With cooking, stir-frying, and barbecue, Xiao Qinglin thought about it and smiled.

"Then after I've eaten at all three of yours, let's go to my Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi is near the river, and it happens to be warm. Go around and relax, killing two birds with one stone."

Cheng Xue and Li Hui yearned to go to Zhuangzi, after all, they were qualified to do Zhuangzi now.Go take a look and see what it looks like, and get a few more at that time, anyway, the money is enough.

It has been an hour since the announcement of the list, but there are still no fewer people in front of the tribute courtyard.

Before Li Hui and the others arrived home, they saw the hostess of the Zhang family next door standing at the door.

Cheng Xue annoyed her the most, she took Li Tian by the hand and said to Li Yue:

"My bridesmaid is going to do some shopping, and we will celebrate as a family at noon."

Although they didn't talk about it these days, they didn't eat well because they were worried about their grades.

The mistress of the Zhang family saw the three of them leaving, she said "Yo", and asked in a loud voice:

"Let's release the list at the Gong Yuan today, it's really lively! Hey~ Tie Dan, did your father pass the exam?"

Unable to speak directly to Li Hui, she chose to find Li Heng.

The little guy didn't get used to it either, he just said "ah" and replied:

"I won, but my father's ranking is not very good, only No. 11. Why do you ask this? Our family has no relatives here, does not set a table, and does not need to follow the ceremony."

The mistress of the Zhang family really wanted to ridicule her, but she won the prize. After that... yes, there is also the Du family.

"What about the kid from the Du family? Did he win?"

"I won, it seems that they don't have a table at home, so you can't go out with the ceremony."

Listening to Li Heng's "following the ceremony" with his mouth open and shut, made her very angry.Resentful, he returned to the hospital with a resentful "hmm", and never dared to provoke the Li family and the Du family again.

Cheng Xue did a thorough shopping today, not only buying fish but also meat, and even bought several expensive fruits.I even bought a lot of cooked food, such as roast chicken, pork knuckle, pork head and so on.

The plan is not as fast as changing. I planned to go back to the village after passing the exam, because the dinner party of several families had to be delayed again...

 Thank you Xia Tian and Xiao Tiandou for your messages, and I will continue to work hard. mua~·
