There were too many names on the list. Wuchun searched carefully, but after looking through nearly two-thirds of the list, he still didn't see his name. He couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. In such a cold day, his palms began to sweat.

Wuchun's heart was pounding, and he was actually a little scared to continue looking down. There was a crowd of people, some were disappointed, some were happy.

Those who failed the exam were dejected and shook their heads repeatedly, while those who passed the exam shouted excitedly and hugged their loved ones.

The disappointed people retreated helplessly, and more people kept squeezing in, even blocking Wuchun's view. Wuchun could only sharpen his head and squeeze in again.

He figured it out. No matter what the result was, the exam was over. He had to accept the result whether he passed or not.

Finally, Wuchun saw his name, which was the third from the last. He rubbed his eyes to make sure he saw it correctly.

He jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Great! I passed the exam and became a Tongsheng."

In his excitement, he thought of Xu Hao and He Yao again. He wondered if they had won the exam. Thinking of this, he went back to the list of scholars.

"Why are you joining in the fun here, kid? You should go to the students' side." Some scholars were pushed aside by Wuchun and couldn't help but grumble.

"I passed the exam. Let me see if my elder brother passed it?" Wuchun said proudly. His words attracted many admiring looks from people.

The kid in front of me looks young, but I didn’t expect that he could pass the exam to become a student.

As Wuchun was talking, he finally got to the front and found Xu Hao and the others, who had just come in.

At this time, another person squeezed in from the back and looked at Xu Hao and said, "Brother Xu, how is it? Did you pass the exam?"

Xu Hao looked back and found that it was Peng Xuedong. He smiled and said, "Oh, it's Brother Peng. I just got here too!"

Suddenly Wuchun pointed at the list and said excitedly: "He Shuxi, I saw your name, over there~ third row, fifth one, look!"

He Yao looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, his name was on the list. He Yao was so excited that he was speechless.

Xu Hao and Peng Xuedong stopped talking and began to look for their own names.

Xu Hao held his breath. The more he looked down, the gloomier his heart became. There were not many names left. It seemed that he had no hope of becoming a scholar this year.

"Brother Xu, look! That's your name at the bottom." Wuchun jumped up excitedly.

Xu Hao also saw it at this time, and his face flushed with excitement. Great, he had taken the exam several times and finally passed the exam to become a scholar.

"Ruru, this time I will finally keep my promise and marry you." Xu Hao murmured in a low voice.

Peng Xuedong's face, on the other hand, became gloomier and gloomier the more he looked. Until he saw the last name, he knew that he had no hope of success.

"Ah~"

Peng Xuedong sighed heavily, looked at the happy Xu Hao, forced a smile, and bowed with both hands: "Congratulations, Brother Xu, for getting into high school~"

Xu Hao then remembered Peng Xuedong. He didn't seem to have seen his name just now. He immediately asked with concern: "Brother Peng, how did you do in the exam?"

Peng Xuedong smiled bitterly: "I failed the exam, so I will take over your happiness. It will be my turn next year."

"Yes, that's a must~" Xu Hao nodded heavily. He knew that Peng Xuedong must be feeling bad right now.

When Dadong drove the carriage over, Wuchun and the others just squeezed out of the crowd.

"Fifth Young Master, I'm here!" Dadong raised his hand excitedly.

Seeing Wuchun laughing so hard, Dadong guessed that the Fifth Young Master would definitely not be able to escape. As for Master Xu and Master He, they had different expressions.

"Uncle Dadong, we all passed the exam!"

Before Dadong could ask, Wuchun spoke first.

"What? Really? That's great!" Dadong said with a smile, and his dark face gained a bit of color.

"Let's go! Let's get in the car and go back early to tell my wife the good news!" Dadong smiled from ear to ear, as if he had passed the imperial examination.

"it is good!"

Wuchun responded with a smile. Xu Hao was also eager to go home and couldn't wait to share the good news with Moru.

They were stunned when they stepped into the carriage. They didn't expect that there were other people in the carriage. Madam Mo and an old woman were sitting inside with their eyes closed and resting.

Xu Hao immediately became uneasy when he saw Madam Mo. She was not only his master's wife, but also his future mother-in-law.

"Master's Wife~"

Wuchun and Xu Hao said the same thing.

"Hurry up and sit down!" Lian opened her eyes and looked at Xu Hao: "You two both passed the exam? That's really great!" She also heard what they said just now.

"That's right, Master's Wife~" Xu Hao said seriously: "Thanks to your teachings, we are where we are today!"

Looking at Xu Hao, Madam Mo nodded in satisfaction. Xu Hao had become noticeably more stable now. She didn't like him before, but now she liked him in every way.

"Master's wife, it's time to change your words!" Lian covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

Now it was Xu Hao's turn to feel embarrassed. He didn't expect that the master's wife would directly point out the relationship, proving that she was also on his side. Now he was settled.

Probably because of the excitement, the journey back seemed much shorter, and soon the carriage returned to Kaoshan Village.

Soon, the news that Wuchun passed the examination for Tongsheng and Heyao passed the examination for Xiucai spread throughout Kaoshan Village. The villagers were immediately excited. At this moment, the two of them were the most talked about after dinner.

Only in the village chief's house was the atmosphere gloomy and everyone was dejected.

Xiao glared at He Guang and said, "Old man, it's all your fault. I said I would send Bi'er to the county academy to study. Otherwise, how could we be sure that we could pass the exam like Wuchun?"

"It's easy for you to say that, but it's not that we don't have money!" He Guang raised his head and glanced at Xiao, and said in a muffled voice.

"Mom, don't blame Dad, blame us for not being good enough in learning the skills." The eldest son's wife, Niu, forced a smile.

"Dad, I have an idea. It probably doesn't cost any money, and I can find a good teacher for Bi'er!" He Jing suddenly had an idea.

"What good idea do you have?" He Guang glanced at He Jing.

"Didn't Second Uncle pass the exam to become a scholar? Let's ask Bi'er to look for Second Uncle!"

"Yes!" Xiao's eyes lit up. Why didn't she think of this?

In the past, I always looked down on He Yao, thinking that he had failed to pass the exam to become a scholar after more than ten years of taking the exam. I didn't expect that he would pass it this time.

"I won't go looking for him!" the village chief said in a muffled voice with a dark face.

"Okay, leave it to me!" Xiao patted his chest.

That evening, Xiao came to the old house with a piece of pork belly, a piece of floral cotton cloth, a pound of brown sugar and a dozen eggs.

The more courtesy, the less blame. She knew that her relationship with her mother-in-law was not very good in the past, but now she was willing to give it all for the sake of her grandson.

It is said that you should not hit a smiling person, let alone you brought so many things.

She believed that her mother-in-law would not refuse when she saw this. After all, he was his great-grandson, and she didn't believe that she could be so cruel as to do so.
