After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

Along with the government officials who announced the good news, there was also a large group of villagers watching the fun. Many children started running with the procession from the entrance of the village to guide the officials who announced the good news.

Mrs. Yan quickly asked Chengwen to go into the house and take out the snacks and candy bars, and distribute the copper coins to the children. They were not as popular as the snacks and candy bars.

Ming Jun stood at the gate and took the good news from the government servant, and handed over the purse that Granny Yan had prepared in advance.

The yamen official who announced the good news immediately beamed with joy as he took the purse. All the yamen officials rushed to announce the good news to the top ten children. They all thought that the top ten families would give more rewards. Thanks to his cleverness, he had checked the background of the Xiao family in advance.

It feels like it's at least two taels of silver, which is much better than the dozens of coppers given in previous years. The yamen servant was happy and said these beautiful words of congratulations as if they were free of charge.

Finally, the yamen servant did not forget to remind Mingjun to take the household registration to the county magistrate to make a new record in three days. Ming Jun thanked the yamen servant again and called Shisan to come and escort the yamen servant out of the village.

After the government officials left, many villagers and children watching the excitement dispersed, but there were still many villagers who stayed behind.

Naturally, the village chief did not leave. He wanted to stay and discuss with Mingjun about organizing a running-water banquet to celebrate.

"Uncle village chief, Mingjun is a child student, and his ranking is not high! My father won the imperial examination that year, and only then did the village come out to hold a banquet to celebrate. As a son, it is really hard for me to get ahead of my father."

Ming Jun frowned a little after hearing the village chief's words, but still politely declined with a smile. The village chief just wanted to make the village happy. Someone had just mentioned the idea. The village chief thought it was a good idea and mentioned it to Ming Jun.

At this moment, the village chief thought about Mingjun's words and felt that Mingjun was right. It was inappropriate to celebrate a gifted student like this!

Mingjun saw many villagers still gathered around the door of his house, and guessed that many of them wanted to take the opportunity to talk to him more, hoping to follow him to join his father and find a good job.

"Uncle Village Chief, in a few days I will go to the Official School Preparatory College in Qingzhou to take an exam. Mingjun is young and doesn't know much about other things. If there is anything I need to do, you can always help me deal with it!"

Mingjun showed weakness to the village chief, saying that he didn't want to take care of anything and that preparing for the exam was his top priority.

When the village chief heard that Mingjun was preparing to take the college examination this year, he immediately said that he would let Mingjun prepare for the examination with peace of mind. As long as he was here, there would be no chores to disturb Mingjun.

Mingjun chatted with the village chief for a few more words, then sent the village chief away with a smile, and finally closed the door under the watchful eyes of many villagers.

Mingjia watched the whole process. Mingjia felt very proud, and even felt relieved that her child was very promising.

Mrs. Yan stayed with Mingjia, looking at her young lady and then at her eldest young master. Mrs. Yan felt something strange, maybe the young lady was acting more like a sister.

Sending all outsiders away is the joy and celebration of the family behind closed doors. Although Mingjun dropped to twelfth place due to mistakes in controlling points.

But it can’t stop Mingjia from being happy! Ming Jia took Granny Yan and all the guards to happily discuss how to celebrate Ming Jun.

Suddenly, Thirteen frowned and said, "The government servants who announced the good news are all gone. Why hasn't Cheng De come back yet?"

The yard was quiet for a moment, right! Why hasn't Chengde come back yet?

Mingjia arranged for Mrs. Yan to prepare lunch first. Mingjia asked Thirteenth, "Uncle Thirteenth, is Chengde going to the county seat on horseback?"

Thirteen shook his head, "Chengde originally wanted to go there on horseback, but I asked him to drive there. Granny Yan said she wanted him to buy some things and come back!"

Mingjia instantly felt relieved and said with a smile: "Today is the day when the county test results are released. There must be many people and cars in the county. He is driving a carriage to go shopping, so it is normal to come back later!"

Thirteen quickly echoed, saying that he didn’t think so much. Mingjun and Mingjia got up and walked to the main room. Shisan said that he would take someone to the door to clean up the debris of the firecrackers.

Thirteen turned around and looked at Chengwen. Chengwen turned around, grabbed the broom and said, "Brother Thirteen, I'm with you!" The two of them walked out of the yard together.

"I've seen the shopping list given by Mrs. Yan, and there aren't many things. Chengde left early, so he can go shopping first and then look at the list. It's time to come back!" Shisan and Chengwen said as they just left the door.

Chengwen was also a little worried about Chengde and said: "When Chengde arrived, he said that he would come back to announce the good news to the young masters before the yamen servants announced the good news."

Thirteen frowned a little. It stands to reason that Qingyun County has been cleaned up, so nothing should happen! Chengwen took the initiative and said, "Brother Thirteen, I'll go to the county seat to look for Chengde."

Chengwen said that he was about to throw down the broom and turn back to lead the horse, but Shisan grabbed him. "Don't be impulsive. I just told Master Mingjia, and Master Mingjia is right!"

Shisan and Chengwen cleaned up all the firecracker fragments at the door. When they returned to the yard, they told others that Chengde was unusually late, so everyone should be more vigilant.

Mingjun and Mingjia woke up early today because they were thinking about the day when the list would be released. After lunch now, I feel a little sleepy.

Mingjun and Mingjia both went back to rest. Mrs. Yan was sitting at the door of Mingjia's bedroom, watching over Mingjia while doing needlework. Aman leaned on the pillar at the door of Mingjun's bedroom and dozed off with his arms folded.

Thirteen and Fourteen, as well as Cheng Wen and others, gathered in the east wing to discuss how to find Cheng De. Chengwen knew that although Chengde was the youngest, he was very reliable and had never been in the situation he is in today.

Shi Shi felt that they were a little too worried. Cheng De came back a little late, maybe something happened, and there was no need to be like everyone.

Thirteen glared at Fourteenth fiercely, "If you are so careless, I dare not let you lead a team to escort Master Mingjia to Dianzhou! Chengwen and I will go to the county town, and you can take someone at home to protect the young masters!" "

Fourteen was not annoyed by Thirteen's words, and nodded with a smile, promising that he would protect the young masters. "After a while, when the young master woke up and asked about us, he first said that we went hunting in the mountains!"

Thirteen told Fourteen, and Fourteen nodded to show that he understood.

After Thirteen and Chengwen left, the Fourteeners all went to the yard for activities. Some were guarding the front yard, and some were guarding the backyard.

Mingjia woke up first, and when she got up, she found that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the yard. The way Uncle Fourteen walked and stood did not look like he was strolling around. "Uncle Fourteen, what happened?"

When Fourteen heard Mingjia calling him, his heart skipped a beat. I had a premonition that I was going to make a mistake, and I couldn't hide it. "Thirteen took Chengwen to the mountains to hunt. Before leaving, he told me to take care of my home."

Shi Shi seemed to be explaining why he kept walking in the yard, but his guilty tone and expression seemed to be telling Ming Jia: "Hey! I lied to you!"
