"There are so many people, we are late!" Jiang Mingyue grabbed Xie Yuan's arm, stood on tiptoes and looked ahead.

"It doesn't matter!"

Xie Yuan turned his head and glanced at Chen Rong indicatively.

Chen Rong nodded and quickly squeezed into the crowd.

After a while, they suddenly heard someone shouting: "The list is posted."

For a moment, people around him gathered around him.

Xie Yuan took his wife and Jiang Minghong forward.

Jiang Mingyue found through the crowd that the list was shaped like a big cake with big and small circles on it. No matter how many there were, Jiang Mingyue would not be able to see it.

"What's your seat number?"

"Thirteen!"

"I can't see clearly! Let's move forward."

…………

Jiang Mingyue listened to the discussion of the people in front, looked at Xie Yuan curiously and asked: "Aren't names written on the list?"

Xie Yuan shook his head gently.

"This time I only fill in the seat number. Only if I continue to take the next few exams, my name will be filled in in the final exam."

"Oh!"

While the two were talking, Chen Rong squeezed out and said with a happy face: "I found Master Minghong's seat number in the third place in the small circle."

Xie Yuan had a faint smile on his face when he heard this, reached out and patted Jiang Minghong on the shoulder, and said happily: "Not bad!"

Third place? Unexpectedly, after Shen Yu left, he still failed to get the first place. However, as Wanping is as big as him, it is normal for a few to learn better than him.

Jiang Minghong smiled: "My brother-in-law taught me well."

Jiang Mingyue looked at the two of them and asked, "What do the big circles and the small circles mean?"

"Let's go home first, and I'll explain to you on the way." Xie Yuan said, holding his wife's hand.

"it is good!"

Jiang Mingyue listened to her husband's popular science along the way and found out that the small circle is called the A list, with only ten people, and the large circle is called the B list. People on these two lists have passed the main exam and have the right to continue taking the exam. qualifications.

This is the first time Jiang Mingyue knows that there are so many different things in the imperial examination.

The next day, the second county examination was held for the first time.

Jiang Mingyue and her brother did not get up so early under Xie Yuan's warning, and this time the three of them set off at the end of Yinshi.

Jiang Mingyue still remembered that more than a thousand people came for the first exam, but today there were only one hundred and twenty people counted. She was a little surprised and asked: "Why are there so many people here?"

She remembered that when the results were released yesterday, there were 160 people on the list, which meant that 40 people gave up the exam. Is this reasonable?

"Those who didn't come probably knew that they couldn't win a good ranking, so they gave up directly. It's not too unusual for this kind of thing to happen every year." Xie Yuan explained to his wife in a gentle voice.

Jiang Mingyue said 'Oh', patted her brother's shoulder lightly and said, "You're lucky, there are forty less people to compete with you. Come on!"

Jiang Minghong smiled and nodded, hearing the yamen servant singing his name and saying, "I'm in."

"Go!"

After a series of checks, Jiang Minghong walked into the examination room and found that the seats were arranged according to ranking. He was in the third seat in the first row.

As soon as he walked to his seat and sat down, he noticed two eyes falling on him. Jiang Minghong put down the test basket, looked back, and was slightly stunned. He knew the person sitting next to him. The young man who fainted during the main exam.

Jiang Minghong never expected that despite being ill, he could achieve the second place. This should be a young genius like Shen Yu. As for the person sitting in the first place, he directly ignored him.

The two looked at the young man and nodded to him in a friendly manner.

Feeling the young man's kindness, Jiang Minghong's mind suddenly became active. This was a connection! With the help of his brother-in-law, he should be able to make friends with this person.

Seeing Magistrate Shen coming over, Jiang Minghong temporarily suppressed all his thoughts and concentrated on the exam.

In Shenshi, Zaolin Alley, Jiang Mingyue was woken up by a man. She was still a little confused. She hugged the man and buried her face in his abdomen, unwilling to get up.

Xie Yuan gently combed his wife's soft black hair and said warmly: "It's time for us to set off. Xiao Hong should have handed in his paper early today."

Jiang Mingyue suddenly woke up after hearing this. She let go of the man and asked, "Why?"

Xie Yuan walked to the dressing table and took a comb; "The first review is usually a little less difficult than the first review, and he won't be testing poems. With Minghong's speed, this meeting should have been completed, so I guess this time he You should have handed in your paper early."

"Oh!"

Jiang Mingyue sat obediently in front of the man, and he helped her comb her hair.

Xie Yuan helped his wife comb her hair and asked, "Which hairpin should I wear?"

Jiang Mingyue took a look at herself in the mirror and saw that the man's hair was getting better and better!

"The one you gave me when we got engaged."

Xie Yuan heard this and accurately picked it up and inserted it into his wife's hair bun.

Jiang Mingyue immediately stood up, stood on tiptoes and kissed the man's thin lips.

"Thank you sir!"

She took the initiative to hold his big hand.

"Let's go!"

Xie Yuan looked at his wife with soft eyes and let her pull her out.

It turned out to be exactly what the man said. At half past midnight this time, the younger brother walked out of the examination room with a group of young men.

When Jiang Mingyue's eyes fell on the young man on his left, a flash of surprise quickly flashed in his eyes.

"It's him!"

She patted the arm of the person next to her, pointed at the young man and asked in a low voice: "Ms. sir, do you still remember that person?"

Xie Yuan glanced in the direction his wife pointed.

"Remember!"

"Since he took the first test, I think he did well in the first test." Jiang Mingyue whispered.

Xie Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw his younger brother and the young man chatting happily, but he thought much more than his wife.

After a while, Jiang Minghong led Qi Yongsi to his brother-in-law and sister.

"Brother-in-law, sister, this is Qi Yongsi, brother Qi!"

Xie Yuan and Jiang Minghong only made eye contact, and he already understood what his brother-in-law was thinking.

Qi Yongsi bowed to Xie Yuan very respectfully and said, "I've met you, sir. Thank you very much for your help in the past few days. Yongsi has nothing to offer and no money at the moment, so I can only repay you in the future."

Xie Yuan took the initiative to reach out and help him up.

"If a doctor has a parent's heart, then there is a reason to refuse to save him until he is dead. Then it is just a matter of effort, so you don't need to take it to heart."

Unexpectedly, Xie Yuan's attitude toward Qi Yongsi was so kind. Jiang Mingyue took another curious look at the young man with an average appearance and average temperament.

Xie Yuan's effort broke the bad luck that had haunted him for more than three years and allowed him to enter the examination room. Qi Yongsi kept this kindness in mind, but as he just said, he could only repay him in the future.

Jiang Minghong took the opportunity to say, "Brother Qi, we are destined to be together. What's more, as you just said, Hong still has a lot of things that he doesn't understand. He would like to ask Brother Qi for advice again. If Brother Qi doesn't mind, can you come?" Are you a guest at my house?"

Yo! It seems that my younger brother likes Qi Yongsi very much. Could it be that he, like Shen Yu, will achieve extraordinary things in the future? But I really can’t tell.
