No. 7...

Yu Zhou was taken aback when he heard the words, then turned around and ran towards the carriage as fast as he could.

He Yunqi didn't even realize it, he turned around with a smile and asked, "I don't know if this ranking is different from Brother Yu's expectation..."

He didn't say the different words of the difference, and even the backs of the people who were standing beside him disappeared, only a breeze brought by them when they were running.

He Yunqi was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Xiao Zhu next to him, spread his hands and said, "Brother Yu is really."

"Isn't Mr. Yu always like this?" Xiao Zhu smiled, then seemed to think of something, and suddenly said, "When I got out of the crowd over there, I seemed to see Mr. Zhou's carriage."

"Where is it?" He Yunqi's expression turned serious, and he immediately looked around.

After looking around, he still didn't see any familiar carriages or people, so he turned his head to ask Xiao Zhu again.

As a result, Xiao Zhu lowered his head and couldn't restrain his small titters.

He Yunqi still didn't understand that Xiao Zhu was deceiving him on purpose, so he also put on a serious face and said with a serious expression: "I dare to deceive even your young master. Be careful and punish you when you go back to clean the stables."

"Obviously the young master himself, he forgot to think when he mentioned Mr. Zhou," Xiao Zhu stuck out his tongue and said, "You sent Mr. Zhou home last night, didn't you make an appointment to watch the case together this morning?"

It was rare for He Yunqi to show an expression of embarrassment upon hearing this.Xiaozhu accepted it as soon as he saw it, and didn't dare to tease his young master anymore.

Besides Yu Zhou, when he ran to the side of the carriage, Jin Chuan was already holding Chen Chen and wanted to get off from the top, he hurriedly stopped him and said: "It's cold in the morning, stay inside, Xiao Zhu has already seen the ranking."

Jin Chuan paused, hugged Chen Chen and maintained the motion of opening the curtain, neither coming down nor retreating, and asked after a while, "Which place is the number?"

"Seventh." Yu Zhou didn't pretend to be mysterious.

Jin Chuan widened his eyes in surprise, looked at Yu Zhou standing in front of the carriage, was about to jump off the carriage with Chenchen in his arms, and at the same time praised: "My husband is really amazing."

Seeing his actions, Yu Zhou couldn't care less about praise or not, so he quickly took his son over and helped Jin Chuan with one free hand, and said helplessly, "Don't come down after that."

Taking advantage of Yu Zhou's action of helping him get off the carriage, and the cover of the carriage and horse, Jin Chuan leaned against Yu Zhou after he got off, put his head on Yu Zhou's shoulder, and said in a low voice but excitedly: "I'm not Are you too excited?"

Seeing how he wanted to hug but was afraid of being seen, Yu Zhou shook his head and laughed, then hugged Chenchen with one hand, and pulled Jin Chuan into his arms with the other.

The family of three hugged each other for an unknown amount of time, until there was a loud cry from the side of the long case, and Jin Chuan suddenly came to his senses. Ask: "This is?"

Yu Zhou also adjusted his expression, "It should be a candidate who failed the exam."

Crying sounded one after another, dispelling the joy of many couples when they first became famous.

After waiting for a while, He Yunqi and Xiao Zhu probably saw that they were no longer hugging each other, so they also walked towards the carriage, and their faces were also not as happy as when they first became famous.

Jin Chuan didn't know whether it was caused by these cries or something else, he said a little worriedly: "After the crowd is gone, let's go and see the long case again?"

After speaking, he gave Xiao Zhu a guilty look. After all, it was Xiao Zhu who worked so hard to squeeze into the crowd to see the ranking. He proposed to watch it again. For Xiao Zhu, it can be said to be a certain degree of distrust.

However, Xiao Zhu was chosen by the He family to be He Yunqi's book boy, so he naturally would not lack the trait of being alert. He smiled and said, "The young master is the county case leader, Mr. Yu is No. 7, and Wen Liang is also in the top ten in the county. Such a good result, it is indeed a loss not to look at it a few times."

After speaking, he turned his head to look at He Yunqi.

He Yunqi also smiled and said, "Wait for as long as you want."

But for the case of the county trial case, on the first day when the ranking is announced, it is impossible for the crowd to disperse before the long case. At most, the scholars who took the exam will leave after reading the results.

So Yu Zhou and the others waited for almost a stick of incense, and seeing that the crowd of onlookers did not decrease, they went to a nearby restaurant to have breakfast again.

When I came back, there were only a dozen or so people left before the long case.

Seeing that it wasn't too crowded, Yu Zhou simply walked over with Chenchen in his arms.

On the rectangular bulletin board, the one on the far right that occupies an entire column is He Yunqi's name.

Counting to the left, every name is also familiar to Yu Zhou.

When he counted to the seventh, it was the two words he had written countless times.

While seeing his own name, Yu Zhou also saw Yu Wenliang who was only two names away from him on the left.

Knowing that Xiaozhu was right, but for some reason, the moment he saw the ranking with his own eyes, he still felt an unspeakable excitement.

Jin Chuan probably did the same. When Yu Zhou turned his head, he saw a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were fixed on the bulletin board, as if he couldn't bear to blink.

Yu Zhou didn't bother him either, but turned his head and asked He Yunqi next to him in a low voice, "My dear brother, do you want someone to tell Mr. Zhou the results of the county examination?"

"No need," He Yunqi was very clear about Zhou Ning's admiration for him, and said after thinking for a while, "I guess before we come to see the crime in the morning, the people he sent are already waiting here."

The implication is that Zhou Ning must have known by now that he has won the county case.

Jin Chuan had been staring at Yu Zhou's name on the long case, but when he heard the words, he turned around and said in disapproval, "I think it's better for you to be informed."

"Don't you already know?" He Yunqi asked puzzled.

Jin Chuan said: "What he sent someone to see has a different meaning from what you asked someone to tell him."

After a pause, seeing that He Yunqi didn't answer, he continued: "If possible, it would be better if you tell him yourself."

He Yunqi lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, and when he looked up at Yu Zhou's family of three, there was a little apology in his eyes, "I think..."

Yu Zhou showed a smile that I understood, waved his hands and said, "Go, let's go back by ourselves."

After He Yunqi left with Xiao Zhu in a hurry, Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan stayed in front of the long case for a while, until Chen Chen hummed to express that he was hungry, and then left and went back to the teahouse where he stayed last night.

The shopkeeper and the staff of the teahouse got the news from some unknown source. As soon as Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan entered the door, they all came up to congratulate.

After a few words of politeness, Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan paid for the hotel, went to buy some gifts and sweets, and then found a carriage at the gate of the town to take them back to the village.

As soon as the carriage stopped at the entrance of the village, all the children in the village who had heard the news rushed up, saying congratulations in unison.

After Jin Chuan paid the driver, he hugged Chen Chen so that Yu Zhou could share the snacks and candies he just bought with the children.

After a few rounds of snacks, the children moved aside, but the adults who heard the sound also came together to congratulate.

Fortunately, unlike children, they don't need to share snacks or anything to congratulate Yu Zhou, they just need to say something in return.But it also took a lot of lip service.

In the end, Lizheng came out to make a rescue, "You told Yu Zhou to go home first, didn't you see Chenchen, did you almost cry? It's not too late for Daoxi."

Yu Zhou glanced at his son who was so happy that his eyeballs rolled straight away, but he couldn't find any signs of crying.However, what Li Zheng said was indeed what he wanted, so he agreed: "After I go back and feed Chenchen, and thank you sir, I will come and talk to the elders in detail."

The men who came up to say congratulations said: "Yes, yes, it's more important to thank Mr. Xie."

The women also said: "Don't starve the child."

When Yu Zhou's family was about to reach the door of the Chen family, they saw the Chen family waiting outside.

Seeing them approaching, Aunt Chen said, "We didn't pick you up at the entrance of the village because you were going to come back anyway."

"Our two families don't need to be so polite," Yu Zhou shook his head and said, "Besides, those uncles and aunts in the village, if you say what you say to each other, Jin Chuan and I are getting older."

Chen Feng gave a light 'tsk', and patted Yu Zhou's shoulder with one hand, "No one else wants this kind of experience."

Yu Zhou knew that what he said was just teasing, so he also laughed and said, "Do you want to experience why you hid here and didn't pick us up at the entrance of the village?"

Chen Feng was speechless, and after a while he said embarrassingly: "But you are really nice, when Mr. Wen brought the news in the morning, many people in the village dropped their jaws in shock."

Yu Zhou smiled, and ignored everyone's shock.

After a while, he turned his head and looked at Aunt Chen next to him, "I bought some things as a thank-you gift for Mr. Wen, auntie, please help me see if there is anything wrong."

Aunt Chen said: "Jin Chuan has always been careful, and what he read is sure to be right."

Having said that, the Chen family followed Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan into their yard.

Because in addition to sending a thank you gift to Mr. Wen's house in the morning, Yu Zhou had to invite Mr. Wen and Li Zheng to have a meal at noon according to the custom.It's already this hour, and Jin Chuan is taking his children with him, so he must be too busy.

After quickly sorting out the thank you gifts, Yu Zhou took his things to Mr. Wen's place, while Jin Chuan and Aunt Chen prepared the lunch for guests at home.

When Yu Zhou arrived at Mr. Wen's house, Mr. Wen was already waiting in the study.

Yu Wenliang opened the door for Yu Zhou, and then he opened the door, and he said, "Congratulations, Brother Yu Zhou."

"Congratulations." Yu Zhou said with a smile.

Yu Wenliang laughed "hehe" twice, and followed Yu Zhou to the study.

Although his ranking is not as good as Yu Zhou this time, his grades are already better than expected, and he is still the youngest in the top ten miles in the county.

When he came back after reading the rankings, his grandfather had already praised him.

After arriving at the study, Yu Zhou sent a gift of thanks, and after saying the words of thanks, it was Mr. Wen's turn to talk about lessons and supervision.

Mr. Wen pointed to the two seats opposite the long case, and after Yu Zhou and Yu Wenliang sat down, he asked, "What do you two think about this ranking?"

Yu Zhou knew that Yu Wenliang must have said it a long time ago, so he said, "The expected result."

"I don't know how to be modest." Mr. Wen laughed, and there was no sense of blame in his tone.After a while, he continued: "Your results are indeed expected, but you are gentle. You can get tenth in the exam this time, which is considered a good performance."

Yu Wenliang couldn't help laughing again when he heard the words.

Mr. Wen tapped the table with his fingers, and said in a deep voice: "But this is just the beginning. Although according to the usual practice, those who can enter the top ten in the county are almost always admitted in the government examination, but there are not without exceptions, so subsequent For two months, the two of you still need to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and study hard so that you can prepare for the government examination in April."
