Just when Li Jin was about to lead his family to climb the Chongyang Mountain, the young examiner in the tribute courtyard had already sealed the answer sheets of all candidates, transcribed them one by one, and proofread them accurately.

Then it was the turn of the senior examiners to mark the papers.

From the beginning of Qiuwei, there have been special personnel to copy the answer sheets of candidates, so as to prevent the examiner from recognizing the handwriting of some students and deliberately promoting these people.

Of course, after confirming the answer sheets that can be admitted, the papers written by the examinees will be unpacked, and the candidates will compete for Jieyuan, Yayuan (No.2), Jingkui (third, fourth, fifth) and Yakui (No.6).

Therefore, the examiners were asked to copy the answer sheets in the past just to ensure the fairness of the exam.

And the unpacked answer sheet in the back is to make those who write well and write well in the article stand out.

The former emperor stipulated that the results of the rural examination must be released within half a month after the examination, but with the stability of the society and the increase of the population, the number of scholars who came to participate in the rural examination also doubled.

Therefore, the court has extended the time and stipulated that the release of the township examination must be within September [-]th.

Under normal circumstances, the rankings are released on the [-]th of September in large provinces, on the [-]th of September in central provinces, and on the [-]th of September in small provinces.

The Central Plains where Li Jin is located is fertile and suitable for cultivation, and has a large population, making it a large province.

But this year is Enke, and the number of people participating in the imperial examination has decreased. Li Jin estimates that the release date will be around the tenth day of September.

It was the second day when he planned to take his family to the Chongyang Festival.

Thinking of this, Li Jin flicked the pages of the book, feeling a little nervous.But he quickly suppressed this emotion, and on the day of Double Ninth Festival, Li Jin did not show any nervousness on his face.

Although Qin Muwen knew some common sense about the imperial examination, he had never taken the exam himself, and no one would record the imperial examination system and time in his notebook in detail like Li Jin.

And Li Jin himself has never experienced Qiu Wei's release of the list, and there is no such thing as the release of the list in his diary for the time being.

So Qin Muwen didn't know much about it, he only knew that it was about January.

On the day of climbing, Li Jin's family got up early. When they went out, there were many people on the streets of the inner city. Li Jin put the little bun on his shoulder, held his leg with both hands, and said to the little bun, "there are many people on the street. alright."

"Yeah! How many do you know?"

Listening to the conversation between the father and son, Qin Muwen pursed a pair of dimples at the corners of his lips.

He hugged the little mountain leopard in his arms tightly, and followed the pace of the man in front of him.

The man two steps away in front of him was tall, with broad shoulders, and his thin waist tied with an indigo belt, making his legs even more slender.

Although Qin Muwen and Li Jin have basically been together all the time, it stands to reason that he would not be able to notice the changes in Li Jin so easily.

But Li Jin really seemed to be a different person, from the boyish figure of Qin Muwen when he first got married, to now he looks like a man...

Qin Muwen looked down at his hand holding Xiao Shanbao, thinking in a daze, he is a brother after all, and he has maintained the figure of this boy all his life.

He thought that he would work hard to catch up with his husband and become a person worthy of him in every way.

Li Jin noticed that the people behind him hadn't followed, so he stopped and asked with a smile, "But are you tired?"

Qin Muwen walked up to him: "No, I just wonder if my husband has grown taller again."

Li Jin raised his eyebrows: "Then let's come back tonight and measure."

"it is good."

The little mountain leopard was lying in father's arms, his big black eyes stared at his brother sitting on his father's shoulders.

Xiao Baozi also noticed his younger brother's gaze, and gave him a happy smile.

Unexpectedly, the little mountain leopard suddenly cried.

He also wants to sit up high, but how can a six-month-old child express it? When he cries, Xiaocha feeds him a sip of milk.

It's not that Little Mountain Leopard is crying now, nor is it not crying.

However, after smashing the mouth, the little mountain leopard found that the goat's milk was quite delicious, so let's continue to drink it.

When they arrived at the suburban ferry, the family took a boat to the temple and climbed up the stairs.

This time it was Qin Muwen who led the little bun, while Li Jin hugged the sleeping little mountain leopard.

The mountain behind the temple was full of cornel flowers, and Li Jin, as the "elder" of the family, gave Qin Muwen, the two children and Xiao Cha all off the cornel.

Xiaocha was carrying a small bag of dry food, and took the cornel with both hands.

"Thank you, master, thank you master."

As for the dogwood for Qin Muwen and Xiao Baozi, Li Jin inserted them into their collars with his own hands.

Xiao Baozi's actual age was four years and three months, and he had shoulder-length hair. When he came out today, Qin Muwen gave him a little Jiujiu on the top of his head.

If you insert a wooden hairpin and change into a Taoist robe, you will look like a cute little Taoist priest.

Li Jin was so excited that he broke another branch and pinned it in that little chirp, the bright red dogwood fruit and the cinnabar mole between Baozi's eyebrows complemented each other perfectly.

Qin Muwen also smiled and said, "This is very nice."

During the lunch break, Li Jin went to the temple to donate money for incense, and borrowed pen, ink and paper to outline the happy state of the family.

On a whim, Li Jin thought that it would be better if he added these things to his 'diary'.

Some things cannot be described by words alone. Li Jin felt that no words could describe the beauty of his little bun.

Of course, a large part of the reason is that "beauty is in the eyes of a father".

In the evening of that day, Li Jin's family was on the boat. As soon as they looked at Ningxing Ferry, they saw a few acquaintances standing on the shore.

Wu Wei, Zhao Shuang's father, and some neighbors who usually deal with.

Wu Wei waved to him from a distance on the shore: "Xiuzhi, the list is released! Qiu Wei released the list! On the Guibang, you are Jie Yuan!"

Wu Wei's voice was very loud, but because there were too many people at the ferry and it was extremely noisy, Li Jin couldn't hear it all.

I only vaguely heard the 'Guild List'...

When the autumn list was released, the city was full of sweet-scented osmanthus, so its alias was also called Guibang.

Since Wu Wei mentioned Guibang, does that mean that Qiuwei released the list?Double Ninth Festival release list?Li Jin thought it would be at least the tenth day of September.

Li Jin's palms were sweating a little, he could see Wu Wei shouting from the bank all the time, his mouth and movements were very excited, but Li Jin couldn't hear what he was saying clearly.

For this autumn, Li Jin had been preparing for too long, and he suddenly didn't dare to know his ranking.

Li Jin took a deep breath silently, intending to pretend to be indifferent and calm.

As a result, his hand was held by Qin Muwen in the next second. Qin Muwen's palm was a little wet, full of nervous sweat.

Li Jin said, "Don't worry..."

Qin Muwen's eyes were full of joy: "A Jin, you are Jie Yuan! Enke Jie Yuan in Jiachen Year!"

Li Jin was silent, carefully distinguishing what Wu Wei had been shouting.

After a while, Xiao Baozi also said solemnly: "Daddy is No.1!"

Li Jin was a little helpless, why did his listening skills fall to the same level as Xiao Baozi?

After he got off the boat, Wu Wei said in a tone of admiration: "Xiuzhi, you are too calm. Your husband and child's excited eyes lit up. Only you are still calm."

Li Jin just smiled and said nothing, he didn't hear clearly at first, and he was mentally prepared for not doing well in the exam.When he heard the result from Fu Lang, his expression was already calm.

You can't suddenly get excited again at that time, can you?Isn't that tantamount to directly exposing the fact that he didn't hear clearly?

Several people called a carriage and drove towards the city together.

After Li Jin thanked the kind neighbors for their visit, he paid for the carriage for them and invited everyone to have dinner at home tomorrow.

"Xiuzhi, in fact, the rankings were released at Chenshi (seven to nine o'clock in the morning), but your neighbors said that your family went out early, and they didn't know where you were going. A few classmates and I went to the back of the academy to find someone. If I didn’t find it, I guessed that you went to the temple to climb up.”

Li Jin was silent. Doesn't that mean he missed the announcement of the ranking for a whole day?

He sighed and said, "Thank you Qiuping for your kindness. I was wrong in my estimation. I thought the rankings would be released on the tenth day of the lunar new year, but I didn't know it would be a day earlier."

Wu Wei said: "It's not your fault. Enke's release date is uncertain, but He Youfeng is even more flustered and has no mood to climb high."

Speaking of this, Wu Wei said with emotion, "Youfeng originally wanted to wait for you here, but he was unlucky. He was ranked 130th in the Guibang, and he was almost a Juren..."

Li Jin said, "Unfortunately, is Youfeng okay now?"

"Maybe I'm crying there." Wu Wei smiled wryly, "I'm ranked 140 this time, which is just a little short."

Li Jin could only say: "Qiu Ping, don't be sad, there is another chance next time."

Wu Wei said: "Thank you for Xiuzhi's concern. The older I get, the worse the exam is. Enke's noun is also the best in the past few years. I will probably stay with Youfeng to teach in the academy. gone."

Li Jin said: "It's good that Qiuping has arrangements."

The carriage stopped in front of the Guibang on the main street first, and after the announcement, there would be guards here for three days, and then the list would be withdrawn for archiving.

Qin Muwen looked at the first name on the first line and was very happy.

Even Xiao Baozi said, "Daddy's name! Daddy!"

The child's finger bones are too soft, Li Jin didn't let Xiao Baozi write with a pen for the time being, but he also taught him to recognize a lot of characters, and he could recognize his own, father's and father's names.

Li Jin patted his head, and got out of the car with Wu Wei. It was said that the official who delivered the good news would arrive at noon, but because there was no one in Li Jin's house, Wu Wei arranged for the adult to rest at the inn first.

It happened that the inn was nearby, so Li Jin invited the officials first, and then went back together.

The rule of sending good news in the township examination is to invite the official to stay at home for a few more days, and then invite the official to run errands to the person who wants to announce the good news and announce the good news.

Naturally, Li Jin had to spread the good news to Hongyan Village. In addition, he planned to go back to his hometown and tell the story on his mother's grave.

The woman who worked hard all her life and finally died because of being too tired, she should be very happy that her son can go to high school.

Li Jin apologized to the official, and the official smiled, "Master Li, don't beat me up, I came early, I didn't expect Master Li to ascend the Chongyang Festival, it's my fault."

Wu Wei followed, his eyes widened.

Although he was very polite in observing when he asked the official to go to the inn to rest for a while.But there is no such a good attitude now.

Wu Wei thought, if he was the one who got rid of Yuan in high school, then only he could enjoy this treatment.

It's a pity that this is someone else's life. Although Wu Wei is envious, he can't be jealous.He was able to pass the scholar examination all the way, and he still had the opportunity to stay and teach in Ningxing Academy. For him, this was enough.

After Li Jin invited the officials to come in, he asked about the time of the Luming Banquet, which was hosted by the governor, and was a drinking banquet to celebrate everyone's success in the exam.

Originally, it was held on the day after the results were released, but since it took too long to review the answer sheets, many students had to go back to their hometowns before the results were released, so the time was changed to give the candidates time to hurry.

The official said with a smile: "The Luming Banquet is seven days later, Master Li has plenty of time here."
