With a complicated face, he sighed helplessly at the end, and told himself silently, it's better to wait until we return to Qingshan Village and let the Ji family handle it by themselves.

Time passed while the few people were eating and drinking, and soon it was time to release the rankings.

Early in the morning, Ji Xiuran was woken up by Shi Jingchen.

In fact, Ji Xiuran is not in a hurry, anyway, the list is all there, you can see it early in the evening.

He didn't want to rush over early and be squeezed into jerky.

Moreover, he was worried about his small body, whether he could bear this toss, if his body that had just improved a little was squeezed out, the gain would outweigh the loss.

It's just that he couldn't hold back everyone's opinions by himself, so he could only get up early and follow everyone to watch the list.

Chapter 4 (Revised)

When we came to the place where the list was released, it was already full of people. It was still early, and the people who released the list hadn't come yet. Ji Xiuran didn't want to stand on the street hungry and waited, so he suggested: "Why don't you find a place to sit, by the way?" Have a breakfast, why wait hungry."

Shi Jingchen looked at him and nodded. He knew that Ji Xiuran looked like an ordinary person now, but in fact he was very weak. If he didn't eat breakfast, he might not be able to hold on for a while. He didn't want this person to faint on the street again fall.

Although the other people were very anxious, seeing that it was still early and how long it would be until the announcement of the rankings, they might as well have breakfast first, so they all nodded in agreement.

Several people came to a wonton stand at the entrance of the alley, and one of them ordered a bowl of wontons and ate them.

The wontons at this wonton stall are filled with pure meat, they are very big, and a bowl costs eight cents, which is a luxury for several people, and they are usually reluctant to eat.

This time it was Ji Xiuran who saw the wonton here and wanted to try it, and just in time for the announcement, he thought about extravagance, and it took a few people to spend it once.

After snorting and finishing a bowl of wontons, the whole person felt comfortable from the inside out.

Ji Xiuran finally ate his first bite of meat after time travel, it was really not easy.

However, the wontons in this store are really delicious, and the eight cents are well worth the money.

After a few people finished eating, they sat on the wonton stand and rested for half an hour before the sound of gongs and drums to release the list sounded.

The originally quiet crowd also became commotion with the sound of gongs and drums, and soon came the shouts of the guards to maintain order.

Ji Xiuran was taken aback by the crowd.

Several people were rushing to that place, but they were quickly dispersed by the swarming crowd. Shi Jingchen was afraid that Ji Xiuran would be crushed by the crowd, so he protected Ji Xiuran into his arms.

Shi Jingchen held Ji Xiuran in his arms and went to the side, found a corner, stopped, thinking about waiting for the crowd to disperse before going to see the result of the ranking.

Ji Xiuran was squeezed into this corner by Shi Jingchen's protection, he stood firm and let out a breath.I just thought I was going to be squeezed into jerky by these brutal crowds, but luckily.

Then he looked at the still crowded crowd with lingering fear, and said to Shi Jingchen, "Let's wait here, and then go to see it after the crowd has dispersed. It's too dangerous to be crowded. I thought I was going to be crowded just now." It’s flat, but luckily my third brother is protecting me.”

Shi Jingchen didn't reply to his words, but just took a deep look at him, the more contact he had, the more he could discover the difference between this person and the previous one.

Now he is basically sure that these two people are two different people, but the more he gets in touch with, the more he is attracted to this person, and the less he knows how to treat him.

After all, the previous Ji Xiuran had always been taken care of as his younger brother, but now it was suddenly replaced by another person, he had the responsibility to figure out what was going on.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he sighed secretly in his heart. Their current relationship was a bit awkward, and it was not suitable for them to ask questions. He closed his eyes, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and comforted himself, saying that it would be fine to go back to Qingshan Village.

It was strange that Ji Xiuran didn't get Shi Jingchen's response. He raised his eyes to look at this person, and found that this person was looking at him with a strange look, which made his heart skip a beat. He felt as if someone had seen through him, so he quickly closed his eyes. , looked away, not daring to meet the person's gaze, and then felt that such an action really showed a guilty conscience, and boldly met the person's gaze, showing a smile.

Ji Xiuran thought he was covering it up very well, but he didn't expect Shi Jingchen to see his reaction.

Seeing his reaction like this, Shi Jingchen calmly withdrew his probing eyes, lowered his eyebrows and returned to his usual expressionless face.

Seeing that he had returned to normal, Ji Xiuran breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he didn't chatter like before, but just pretended to be nonchalant and looked around, quietly waiting for the crowd to disperse.

When the crowd had dispersed, the two of them finally came to the list. Ji Xiuran looked at the list, confidently looking for his name from No.1, and after a while, he saw his name, No.5.

Although he is not the case leader, but according to Ji Xiuran's usual performance, this achievement can be regarded as extraordinary performance.

After finding his name, he completely forgot about the awkwardness just now, and said excitedly to Shi Jingchen next to him, "I saw it, it's No.5, third brother, I passed No.5."

Ji Xiuran was very happy that he was able to pass the exam, and he was also very satisfied with this result.

It was the original owner's biggest wish to be a scholar in the exam, and now he has helped him realize a wish, and he was relieved at the same time.

Hearing Ji Xiuran's excited shout, Shi Jingchen looked down at the joyful man, and was also very happy for him, and couldn't help softening his eyes slightly.

Although the relationship between him and that person was not very harmonious before, he also hoped that he could pass the exam from the bottom of his heart. This result made everyone very satisfied.

Some of the people around saw that their name was not on the list, and shouted excitedly, while others were very happy when they saw their name. It is normal for Ji Xiuran to behave like this, and it is not very conspicuous.

Some people who came to join in the fun heard Ji Xiuran say that he passed the No. 5 exam, and they all stepped forward to congratulate him.

Ji Xiuran accepted people's congratulations, and returned the gift calmly on the face, but was very excited in his heart.

Seeing more and more people watching around, Ji Xiuran didn't care about socializing with them, so he quickly grabbed Shi Jingchen and ran away.

When I walked to a place where there were few people, I stopped and remembered that I didn't look at the rankings of other people, and complained with some annoyance: "Oh, I just was so happy that I forgot to see if they were on the list."

After hearing this, Shi Jingchen glanced at him lightly, and then calmly replied, "They're all on the list."

He had gone through the list just now and saw several names, but the rankings were not as high as Ji Xiuran's.

Hearing his words, Ji Xiuran jumped up excitedly, and said with a joyful face, "That's great, we all passed the exam, we have to celebrate when we go back."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Shi Jingchen back quickly. Shi Jingchen looked at the sleeves held by this man, shook his head helplessly, but didn't resist, and walked back along the man's strength.

When Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen returned to the small courtyard, the four of Li Wen had already returned. They went back a step earlier than these two, and when they saw Ji Xiuran came back, they greeted them, and congratulated them: "Xiu Ran, congratulations on passing the No. 5."

Although they all passed the exam, there was a gap in their rankings, and the top ten were all senior graduates. Of the five of them, only Ji Xiuran passed the exam. It really deserves congratulations.

Ji Xiuran also returned the gift happily, and said to them: "Happy, happy, since we both passed the exam, why don't we celebrate with something delicious today."

When Li Wen heard his proposal, he agreed with both hands: "Okay, okay, let's pay some money each, go buy some vegetables and cook at home. Brother Shi San's craftsmanship is better than that of the restaurants outside."

Lu Yunze also nodded in agreement and said, "I agree with this proposal, this is my tael." After speaking, he took out a bunch of copper coins.

It seems that there should be more than five hundred texts.

Wang Shuo and Liu Xiang also took out their own money one after another. Although it was not as much as Lu Yunze's, they still had more than 200 coins.

Li Wen saw that these people were so active, so he also took out his own money, three hundred Wen.

Ji Xiuran looked helplessly at the pile of copper coins, rolled his eyes, and said, "You think we are eating dragon liver and phoenix marrow, how can we need so much silver coins?" After finishing speaking, each person left only one hundred coins , and return the rest to them.

Although several of them are poor students who came to study in the surrounding villages, there are differences between poor students and poor students.

Among the five people, Ji Xiuran's family has the worst conditions, and Lu Yunze's family has the best conditions, so relatively speaking, Lu Yunze is the most competitive, with five hundred coins in one move.

After returning the money to them, Ji Xiuran took out another two hundred Wen and put it in, he and Shi Jingchen counted as two shares.

Six hundred cash for six people can buy a lot of food.

Ji Xiuran divided the money into three piles, pushed two of them in front of the four of them, and said, "You four in pairs, go and buy some meat and vegetables."

The four of them looked at the copper plate in front of them, looked at each other in blank dismay, and showed embarrassment. They had never bought these things before.

Then they couldn't help looking at Shi Jingchen, Shi Jingchen was the only one who could buy vegetables among these people, so they couldn't help asking him for help.

Seeing that they didn't move, Ji Xiuran looked up strangely, just in time for them to look at Shi Jingchen for help.

At this time, Shi Jingchen was also a little bit sorry for being looked at by several people, and wanted to open his mouth to take the matter over, anyway, it was a trivial matter for him.

Ji Xiuran glanced at the crowd in disapproval, and criticized: "How can a man of seven feet open his mouth to eat? If he wants to eat, he has to work hard."
