Chapter 63
Sure enough, early the next morning, Mrs. Cui came again, but this time when she brought up the matter of matchmaking, she was politely rejected by Shi Hua: "Thank you for your trouble, aunt. It's just that my brother is too young and has not yet established a career. If I get married, , he is unable to support it anymore, I¡¯d better wait to talk about my marriage, and my aunt¡¯s trip will be in vain.¡±
Mrs. Cui opened her mouth and wanted to persuade her again. Shi Hua smiled and said, "It's getting late. I have to go to the hospital for a consultation as soon as possible. It won't be easy for my aunt to stay. I hope my aunt won't be offended."
She spoke in a gentle and gentle manner, and Mrs. Cui said sincerely: "Young lady has reached her age, so she should take care of her own affairs as soon as possible."
Shi Hua nodded to show her understanding and thanked her. Mrs. Cui had no choice but to leave angrily. Shi Hua sent her to the entrance of the courtyard and watched her back disappear at the entrance of the alley. Then she turned around and saw Xie Ling was standing in front of the attic window. She tilted her head slightly, looked away, then closed the courtyard door and turned around and entered the house.
Time has come to September in a blink of an eye, and the time for the provincial examination results is finally coming. On the morning of the ninth day of September, many scholars came to Suyang City from all directions, waiting to see the results.
Most of the days for releasing the list are Yin and Chen, because Yin belongs to the dragon and Chen belongs to the tiger, so it means "Dragon and Tiger List", and because it is the season of fragrant osmanthus, it is also called "Guibang".
The night before the results were announced, the chief examiner, deputy chief examiner, and fellow examiners all gathered in the courtroom. There was a stack of red scrolls on the table, as well as the original scrolls that had been brought over for review. After comparing them and confirming that they were correct, the examination began. Filled out the list.
The list was filled in starting from the last one. One clerk loudly sang the name of the winner, and the other clerk filled in the list. Yan Chong, the chief examiner, placed the three red scrolls in the middle and said: "The official and Zhang Your Excellency, after deliberation and multiple reviews, it has been confirmed that this person is the Jieyuan for this provincial examination."
The room official surnamed Liu glanced at it, with a little uncontrollable joy on his face. The test paper at the top was indeed the one he had highly recommended! He launched a Jie Yuan!
The deputy examiner named Zhang nodded and expressed no objection. Yan Chong waved his hand and said, "Open it."
Someone next to him immediately handed him a knife. Yan Chong took it and carefully removed the seal on the ink scroll. He saw a name written neatly underneath: Xie Ling.
Yan Chong raised his brows. He was somewhat familiar with the name, but couldn't remember it for a moment. At this moment, a surprised voice came from beside him: "It's actually him!"
"Huh?" Yan Chong turned to look at the person who was speaking, but it was a fellow examiner.
When the man saw it, he quickly confessed. Yan Chong waved his hand and asked curiously: "Do you recognize this person?"
The fellow examiner raised his hands and replied: "Yes, the lower official is the magistrate of Suyang County. When he presided over the county examination, Xie Ling was the head of the case, so he is somewhat familiar with him."
Yan Chong said: "It's no wonder that someone can write such an article."
The magistrate of Suyang County said again: "It's fine if he is the first person in the county examination. Your Excellency doesn't know. This person later took the government examination and the college examination. He was also the first person in the case and passed the exam within one year."
Now Yan Chong was really shocked: "Little Sanyuan?"
Several fellow examiners beside him also whispered, and Su Yangzhi said: "Exactly, more than that, he was only thirteen years old when he passed the child examination."
Everyone took a breath, and there were exclamations. Yan Chong suddenly seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: "I remember, I have seen this person, and I asked him a few questions at the time. He was shot at the age of thirteen. The scholar, who is now about sixteen years old, can write such articles, he is really a child prodigy."
He twirled his beard, stared at Xie Ling's ink scroll, and asked the county magistrate Su Yang, "Do you know who he studied under?"
The magistrate of Suyang replied respectfully: "The lower official also asked him. He is a student of Mr. Dong Zhongcheng."
Now everyone was stunned. Yan Chong reacted, looked at Suyang Magistrate and said excitedly: "You mean Mr. Zhongcheng? He is in Suyang City?"
The surprise was palpable, and Magistrate Suyang said quickly: "Yes, I have visited his old man before."
Yan Chong stroked his beard and said, "No wonderit turns out he is Mr. Zhongcheng's student."
At this time, the deputy examiner named Zhang next to him asked: "Master Yan, do you still need to fill in the list?"
Yan Chong came back to his senses and said: "Fill it in, why don't you fill it in?"
The deputy examiner surnamed Zhang hesitated: "Do you still want to fill in this person?"
Yan Chong glanced at him, his eyes were sharp, and he said in a calm tone: "What do you mean by Master Zhang's words? We had agreed on Jie Yuan earlier, and we only broke the seal now. The imperial court has regulations, so how can we change it at the last moment?" ?¡±
&Where does Mr. Xie live? "
Lin Bubo still didn¡¯t understand, and said confusedly: ¡°Thank you, Master, what are you thanking, Master?¡±
Mrs. Lin's eyes were full of surprise, and she gave him a hand. Her tone could not conceal her excitement: "But Xie Ling was selected?"
The man smiled and said: "That's right. We are going to announce the good news and would like to ask Mr. Xie which street he lives in."
Others shouted loudly: "Thank you, Master, for winning the Yuan Dynasty! He is the first in our province! Please give me some guidance, Doctor Lin, and let's go together to announce the good news!"
"Ah!" Mrs. Lin's wife, Lin Bubo, and Lin Hanshui all had surprised expressions on their faces, and their excitement was beyond words. They simply didn't know what to say. The neighbors also heard what Jie Yuan was saying and hurriedly came over to express their congratulations. .
It was Lin Hanshui who reacted first and said to the messengers: "I will take you there now."
As he spoke, he stepped down the steps and led a group of people towards the west direction of the city. When he raised his eyes, he saw Xie Ling and Shi Hua standing at the corner of the street, not coming over. He quickly said with joy: "Hua'er, Xie Ling, you are the perfect match." It¡¯s great!¡±
Xie Ling did not answer. Instead, she approached Shi Hua and said, "Ajiu, you see, our bet is about to come to fruition."
He had a smile on his face, like a victorious fox. Shi Hua was speechless. He wanted to say something, but the dozen or so people crowded over him, and his ears were drowned by the joyous voices.
"congratulations!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Xie on graduating from high school!"
"What a joy!"
