Xiangyi Prefecture, Fucheng Lin?.
The government examination in the thirteenth year of Yongping finally came to an end.
Thousands of scholars gathered under the wall of the government office, waiting for the verdict of fate.
Xu Laosan and two classmates were also standing in the crowd, all with anxious expressions.
Xu Laosan felt very good about this government examination and felt that he should be a sure shot. But before the list was announced, Xu Laosan didn't dare to be too shy.
"Brother Yuanxu, do you think we can win?"
The speaker was a student named Li Mingtuo who had failed twice like Xu Yuanxu. Unlike Xu Laosan, who had bad luck twice before, Li Tuo really didn't perform well.
When it comes to talent and learning, Li Tuo is not bad.
However, Li Tuo's family background was much worse than that of Xu Laosan. He took the imperial examination too seriously and was too nervous. He only used five points of his excellent knowledge.
"Do your best and obey fate!"
Xu Laosan took a deep breath.
He was not too nervous at first, but when Li Tuo asked him, he became uneasy.
Counting the time, his mother and daughter-in-law would have almost given birth by now!
For such a big matter, he, as a son and husband, was not at home, and he really felt guilty.
Waiting is the most painful thing.
Fortunately, the elders of the government office did not waste too much time.
The list was quickly sent out by the government officials.
The second-class list was posted first.
Everyone's eyes widened, looking for their names.
Some people in the crowd kept shouting with joy, "Win, win!"
Soon, the second-class list was posted, but there was no name of Xu Laosan or Li Tuo.
Xu Laosan was still calm, but Li Tuo next to him was already trembling and looking pale. In order for him to come to Fucheng to take the exam, his family even sold their cattle. If you still fail this time, you will no longer be able to continue studying.
"Brother Li, are you okay?"
Seeing the cold sweat breaking out on Li Tuo's face, Xu Laosan quickly supported his classmate.
"No, no, no problem!"
Li Tuoqiang responded.
At this moment, the first-class list was also posted.
The yamen who sang the song had a loud voice, but in this noisy scene, it was concealed.
But the strange thing is that Li Tuo could hardly stand, and his eyes widened the moment the first-class list was announced.
"I got it, I got it!"
The tenth place in Class A, Anshun Li Tuo!
The official roll call went by in an instant. Xu Laosan didn't hear anything, but Li Tuo did.
Grade A is a junior student.
The court supplied food.
For Li Tuo, who was almost in a desperate situation, this was really a great blessing in time.
Xu Laosan didn't hear the list singing, so he had to look at the list himself, and sure enough he saw Li Tuo's name.
Anshun Li Tuo!
The moment he saw the name, Xu Laosan's first reaction was that his classmate's ears must be too good!
However, now is not the time to care about your ears. Xu Laosan solemnly sent congratulations to Li Tuo. At the same time, Xu Laosan's heart was in doubt. The singing list had already reached the third place in the first class, and his name was not yet there.
Did he fail the exam again
If he failed the exam, how could he go back to see his wife? How can I go to see my parents and brothers
In order for him to take the exam smoothly, his family sent him to Fucheng two months in advance. It cost several taels of money to rent the yard, not to mention the food expenses he spent in Fucheng during these two months.
Xu Laosan's hands clenched involuntarily!
He stared intently at the list, watching as the last name was revealed.
"Anshun Xu Yuanxu!"
With the roll call of the Yamen, the list was revealed.
All the strength in Xu Laosan's body was exhausted at this moment, and he could not sit on the ground until he leaned against the wall next to him.
He's hit!
And it’s the head of the case! (End of chapter)
