    In the golden autumn of August, the township examination finally arrived.

    The examination will be divided into three sessions, which will be held on August 9th, 12th and 15th.

    After the three exams, Ding Erkang felt good, but he did not dare to relax, and waited for the results to be announced with trepidation.

    Every time the list is released, it coincides with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, so it is also called Guibang.  After the announcement, the governor of the province presided over the Luming Banquet.  During the banquet, they sang the poem "Deer Ming" and danced the Kuixing dance.  After the exam, the primary and secondary lists are released. Those selected from the official list are called Juren, the first is named Jieyuan, and the second to tenth are named "Yayuan".

    On the day when the list was released, Ding Erkang rushed to the wall where the list was released, and waited for the official who released the list to sound the gong and post the "Guild List".

    After a while, bustling people stood under the wall, Du Heng and Wang Zhaoping also rushed over.  People are discussing and guessing who this year's "Jie Yuan" is.

    Only a sound of gong was heard, and two yamen servants blew the gong to clear the way, and a man with the appearance of an official came over with a roll of red list in his hand.  The chaotic crowd fell silent, staring expectantly at the red list in the hands of the officials.

    The two yamen servants first brushed the paste on the wall, and the officials solemnly pasted the red list in their hands. During the process of posting, people kept pushing forward to read the list, but they were forcibly stopped by the two yamen servants.  How eager are the people on the list!

    After posting, the official cleared his throat and began to read the list aloud, "First place on the list, *** from Taiyuan Prefecture, second place on Wang Weide from Datong Prefecture, and third place ***", Ding Erkang patiently listened to the officials  After reading the list, I finally heard "the seventh place, Ding Erkang of Fengtai Mansion".

    Ding Erkang couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. He was like a clockwork top during the half-year preparation for the provincial examination. He never took a good rest. Both mentally and physically, he was too tense.  When he heard his name being pronounced, Ding Erkang burst into tears, as if he had finally found an outlet for his emotions. Ding Erkang murmured: "Shuanghua, did you hear me?  Finally, we can come to propose marriage."

    While Ding Erkang was overwhelmed with great joy, the reciting list continued.

    Du Heng was also listening anxiously at this moment. After reading the main list, his name was missing, and the sub-list also started to read, no, still not. Finally, when the voice of "Fourteenth Fengtai Mansion" sounded, Du Heng's heart was over.  He couldn't bear it any longer, he desperately hoped that it was his name, as if after a long time, he vaguely heard the word "Du Heng", he suddenly jumped up and cheered: "Du Heng, there is Du Heng!"  name".

    ? Finally, the reading list is over, "some are happy and some are sad", some are mad and angry, some are dumbfounded, some wish to announce it to the whole world, and some have no face to face the elders at home.

    The students of "Jinyang Academy" have achieved very good grades, and many of them have their names on the list. Wang Zhaoping was ranked 57th on the deputy list. As soon as he saw his name, he happily announced the good news to his family.

    Du Heng's father also came to Taiyuan at this moment, and was waiting for his news at the inn. Du Heng also rushed back to the inn to report the results to his father.

    Ding Erkang wiped the tears off his face with his hands, his heart was still beating wildly. His parents were waiting for news from him at home in Lingao County. Ling Shuanghua had already returned home from the academy holiday, so Ding Erkang could only be alone.  Celebrate alone.

    He finally held back his tears. From this moment on, he has changed from a scholar to a juren, and he is still a "huiyuan" among juren.

    Ding Erkang looked around, identified the direction of the academy, and walked quickly.

    "When you return to the academy, write a family letter to your parents and report the situation. Then try to contact Shuanghua and discuss the matter of going to the Ling Mansion to propose marriage," Ding Erkang said to himself.

    When he arrived at the academy and entered the gate, Ding Erkang saw a familiar figure wandering outside the classroom. He quickly stepped forward and shouted, "Why are you here, aren't you staying at home?" Ling Shuanghua also said eagerly, "I know today  I was anxious to announce the results, so I wanted to come to the academy to wait for your news, how about it?"

    When Ding Erkang heard Ling Shuanghua's urgent question, his child's heart suddenly arose, and he put on a heavy expression on his face, and said in a sad tone: "It's not good!"

    Ling Shuanghua couldn't believe it when she heard it, she shook Ding Erkang's shoulder with her hand, and asked with wide eyes: "What's wrong, you failed the ranking? Are you not in the first and second rankings?"

    Ding Erkang pretended to be sad and said: "Anyway, there is no vice list!"

    When Ling Shuanghua heard this, she put down her hands in disappointment, and she said blankly, "Then what should I do?"

    Ding Erkang looked down at her disappointed appearance, suppressed a smile and asked, "What should I do?"

    Ling Shuanghua said angrily: "What should we do, we didn't win this time, we have to wait for three yearsWell, if I don¡¯t win after three years, I¡¯ll be an old girl.¡±

    Ding Erkang saw that Ling Shuanghua was really anxious. He couldn't bear to tease him any longer, so he could only hold back his laughter, supported Ling Shuanghua's shoulder and said, "I said there is no vice list, but I didn't say that there is no main list either!"

    Ling Shuanghua raised his head when he heard it, widened his eyes and said, "What do you mean? I allow you to say it again."

    Ding Erkang laughed at this time, and he said to Ling Shuanghua imitating the tone of an official who released the list: "The seventh place on the list is Ding Erkang of Fengtai Mansion."

    After hearing this, Ling Shuanghua finally understood that Ding Erkang was joking with her just now, she immediately punched Ding Erya's chest with her fist, and said coquettishly: "Let you tease me again, people really believe you, but you  in this way!"

    Ding Erkang grabbed Ling Shuanghua's fist, and he said affectionately to Ling Shuanghua: "Tomorrow I will go to the house to propose a marriage, are you afraid?"

    Ling Shuanghua took advantage of the situation and leaned on Ding Erkang's chest and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll be waiting for you at home."

    Ding Erkang said to me again: "Do you think uncle will agree to our marriage? I am a poor scholar, will he trust you to me?"

    Ling Shuanghua said: "As long as I like it, my father should not stop me. Although you are a poor scholar today, you are a member of this year's club. You will take part in the imperial examination and palace examination next year. You have a bright future. How could your father not agree?"

    Listening to Ling Shuanghua's analysis, Ding Erkang's heart was also filled with strength, and he even began to imagine the scene when Ling Tuisi called him "son-in-law".

    Du Heng returned to the inn and reported to his father that he was "14th in the deputy list". After hearing this, Du Zhifu was neither happy nor disappointed. He just asked calmly: "What do you think of today's ranking?"

    Du Heng replied anxiously: "My boy is not satisfied. Ding Erkang is seventh in the main list. I should at least be in the top ten of the main list, but who knows that I am the fourteenth in the sub-list. However, we don't judge heroes by momentary success or failure.  I will surpass him one day."

    Du Zhifu asked with a sullen face: "What if I can't exceed it?"

    Du Heng didn't expect his father to say that. He thought for a while and said, "Please tell me clearly, Father."

    Du Zhifu looked at Du Heng calmly, and said calmly: "Pull him down if you can't exceed it, and you can go up when he goes down!" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
