Chapter 181: 118 Release List (First Update)_3

The county chief was moved to tears on the spot and sat on the ground crying in such agony: “Uhh uhh uhh… uhh uhh uhh…”

The bailiffs on the side were frightened: “County Chief, what… what… what happened to you?”

The county chief was tearful, “I’m overwhelmed with joy… finally, under my administration, our county has produced a Zhuangyuan!”

It’s not easy being the first in the provincial examination, Zhuangyuan usually came from the provincial city, considering that the students from the provincial city came from better backgrounds and had more learned teaching faculties.

The reason why so many people traveled far and wide to study at Tianxiang Academy is that, apart from the academies in the provincial city, Tianxiang Academy has the most robust faculty.

In the Placings list, a total of fifty Jinshi were listed, of which ten were students from Tianxiang Academy, this was an astoundingly frightening ratio.

However, not all of these ten Jinshi were necessarily from the local area.

Fen Lin and Lin Chengye also scored as Jinshi.

Fen Lin ranked seventeenth, he was from Song County.

Lin Chengye ranked forty-fifth, he was from the provincial city.

The county chief counted and found that the only local to make the Jinshi list was Xiao Liulang. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Just one, but he is Zhuangyuan, one of him is worth ten others!

No room for rebuttals!

A bailiff scratched his head and said, “Actually Xiao Liulang… ah, no, I should call him Xiao Jieyuan now. He only registered as a resident of our county when he married the girl from the Gu Family, right?”

Otherwise, he’s still an outsider!

County Chief: “…”

County Chief: “I don’t care! He is registered here! He is the first Zhuangyuan produced during my tenure!”

The county chief personally went to Xiao Liulang’s house to share the good news and the entire village soon learned that Xiao Liulang had become a Jinshi, and even the Zhuangyuan.

“Did my son, Dashun, do well in the exams?” Madam Zhou excitedly rushed over to Gu Jiao’s house to ask the county chief.

The county chief gave her a casual glance, “No sign of Gu Dashun’s name.”

“How could it not be there?” Madam Zhou was incredulous, “If Xiao Liulang could pass, how could my Dashun fail?”

County Chief retorted: “What are you trying to say? Is Xiao Jieyuan worse than your son Dashun?”

In Madam Zhou’s memory, Gu Dashun had always been the best. Xiao Liulang, who was poor and disabled and usually ranked last in Academy, if he could pass, why can’t Dashun?

“Did you check it wrong?” Madam Zhou turned around, saw Xiao Liulang returning from the academy, hurriedly went over and said, “Liulang! Tell your aunt, Dashun also passed, right?”

Xiao Liulang said to Madam Zhou, “I didn’t see Gu Dashun during the provincial examination.”

It was a bolt from the blue-

Their family had sold off both mother and daughter-in-law’s dowry, a total of twenty taels of silver, to send Gu Changhai and Gu Dashun to the exam. Who would have guessed that someone tricked them out of their money halfway there-

Mrs. Zhou fainted on the spot and was carried home by the villagers.

Little Jing Kong, who had just come out of private school, had heard from Gu Xiaoshun that his brother-in-law was Zhuangyuan. He did not believe it and insisted that someone must have gotten it wrong!

“Really, no mistakes.” Gu Xiaoshun scratched his head, “The whole academy is buzzing about it.”

Little Jing Kong insisted on seeing it with his own eyes.

Gu Xiaoshun had no choice but to take him and Gu Yan to the Yamen.

He was very small, the list was very high, he had to lift up his small head to look at it for a long time, then said: “I want to see the Yamen’s official document!”

The bailiffs were all stunned: Little guy, you know about official documents?

Once they found out that he was Xiao Jieyuan’s little brother, the Yamen’s clerk actually took out the official documents for him to see.

Little Jing Kong examined it carefully three times, making sure it wasn’t forged and there was no mistake, then he solemnly nodded his small head: “Indeed, he did score first place.”
