Chapter 319
Mrs. Li decided on a wedding date, chose an auspicious day, and went to the Qin family to make an appointment.

Carriage after carriage of betrothal gifts slowly drove out from the medicine house, and each cage was tied with bright red silk flowers, which was very festive.

The villagers were watching the excitement, silently counting the cages on the carriage, and suddenly there was an uproar.

"Ouch, 88 carried a big box, it's incredible, no one is so rich when they get married."

"The second child is going to be hired by the Qin family. How much dowry does it cost?"

"The Qin family has really climbed into a good marriage."

The villagers congratulated one after another, and Mrs. Li had a smile in her eyes.

The carriage carried boxes of dowry gifts and headed for the Qin family in a mighty manner, attracting envious looks from many people.

The Shen family is so inconspicuous, yet they are so rich and powerful.

This marriage was requested by the Qin family. Mr. Qin was already happy in his heart, but now seeing the dowry gifts of one carriage after another, he couldn't agree more. What the Shen family gave was not only a dowry gift, but also sincerity and face.

The dowry gift of 88 is considered a high standard in Changle County.

Now it's the end of August, and it's just over a month before the eighth day of October, so the appointment and application period are together. Master Qin is very satisfied with the wedding date chosen by the Shen family.

The family is busy with the marriage, and the days are fleeting. On this day, Rong Jiu was copying "Chu Ci" in the house, while Shen Cheng was reading at the side, and suddenly the gongs and drums in the village were beating.

Rong Jiu tilted his head and asked Shen Cheng: "Sir, is the official sent to deliver the good news?"

Shen Cheng raised his eyes from the book, counted the days: "It should be."

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Gu Sanxing rushed over, his face full of joy: "Madam, I'm overjoyed, the official sent me a good news, the young master passed the exam."

The corners of Rong Jiu's mouth curled up, and he pulled Shen Cheng out: "My husband is amazingly talented, he must be among the top three."

At the gate of the courtyard, Mrs. Li and Shen Dafu were already waiting to receive the good news. Their faces couldn't hide their excitement. Watching the officials dismount from the horses hung with red silk flowers, they were so nervous that their hearts would jump out.

Holding the good news in his hand, the officer smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations, Mr. Shen, Xie Yuan, a high school senior in the rural examination."

Shen Cheng cupped his hands and took the good news from the official: "Thank you, sir."

Mrs. Li suppressed the ecstasy in her heart, tears welled up in her eyes, grabbed Shen Dafu's sleeves, and said excitedly: "Master, did you hear that our youngest has passed the exam, and the youngest has passed the exam."

When Shen Dafu looked at Shen Cheng, a look of relief flashed across his face: "Third brother, dad is very happy today."

Rong Jiu stuffed five taels of silver as a reward to the official, smiling brightly: "I wonder how many candidates have passed the Changle Academy?"

The official received the reward and took out a list from his sleeve: "There are 150 people in Qingzhou Prefecture, 78 people in Changle County, 52 people in Changle Academy, including one Jieyuan and two Jingkui."

The third, fourth, and fifth titles are Jing Kui. Changle Academy has two Jing Kui and one Jie Yuan. The number of successful candidates accounts for one-third of the entire Qingzhou Prefecture.

Changle Academy is well-known far and wide. Although many people have been selected, they have never even had Zhongjieyuan and Jingkui.

Rong Jiu was in full bloom.

It seems that Anshen Bunao Wan is going to be famous far and wide.

Along the way, the beating of gongs and drums had already alarmed the villagers. Only Shen Cheng in the whole village participated in the township examination, and they all flocked to the pharmacy.

As soon as the officials who announced the good news left, they all stepped forward to congratulate.

"Third, congratulations."

"Xie Yuan is amazing, next year he will definitely be the No. [-] in high school."

Shen Cheng said with a slight smile: "Thank you, uncles and aunts, for your kind words."

There was an endless stream of congratulatory people, Rong Jiu invited the villagers into the house for tea and snacks, and it was quite lively.

After seeing off the villagers, Rong Jiu said to Shen Cheng with a smile: "Sir, I want to discuss something with you."
