Chapter 139: 3rd from the Last
When Shen San returned home, everyone in the East House was filled with joy.
"Manager Shen San, you are finally back," Shen Yi said with a smile on his face, "The master and the lord are waiting for you in the front hall."
Shen San smiled and nodded. Although his master's grades were not very good, it was better to pass than not!
When they arrived at the front hall, Shen Yueqiao and Lin Hongle were there happily, while Shen Liu was standing aside with an awkward look on his face.
Who understands? These two people look at each other, their eyes are almost tearing!
Damn it, she will try to see the palace doctor in the same way later. Although it is a bit disrespectful to think so, but looking at the expressions of the two of them who looked like they had eaten bee shit, Shen Liu still felt that he and Lin Liu on the side were a bit redundant.
"Master, lord." Shen San was obviously much calmer.
"I have already passed down the order. When the officer announcing the good news arrives, we will go back to the old house." Shen Yueqiao said with a smile when he saw Shen San.
"Then there's no need to rush." Shen San nodded.
The Yuenu Kingdom has always had this rule. No matter whether you are taking the Tongsheng examination or the provincial examination, as long as you pass, there will be an official to announce the good news.
It means shouting your name loudly, reading your rank, and reporting to your home.
Those who rank low will feel socially dead.
But in essence, it still improves the status of scholars, and at the same time it also tells everyone clearly that someone in this family is a talent, so as to prevent impersonation!
"Well, but it's estimated that he will be here soon, so let's get ready." Shen Yueqiao still smiled.
"What the patriarch said is true, but they should have arrived a long time ago. Why haven't they come yet? Do the first and second place live in remote places?" Lin Hongle was a little confused.
To be honest, when he heard that Shen Yueqiao ranked third, his first reaction was "No way!" But he soon fell into joy. His wife was amazing!
When Shen San heard what Lin Hongle said, he frowned and reported: "Master, my Lord, why don't we go to the old house first, and come back in two days to wait for the official to announce the good news."
Shen Yueqiao & Lin Hongle: ???
Even though these two were slow-witted, they understood what Shen San meant. Although he got it right, his ranking would be worrying.
"How many places did I get?" Shen Yueqiao asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Master, you ranked 98th." Shen San smiled faintly and continued, "You just studied hard and got on the list. That's amazing!"
After hearing what she said, Shen Yueqiao looked at Shen Liu again and said, "Third from the bottom?"
Shen Liu scratched his head, coughed dryly, and said with a smile: "The third from the bottom is still the third!"
Shen San:? ? ?
So the master always thought that he ranked third? How is that possible? Is the master like that? It's a miracle that he made the list!
The corner of Shen Yueqiao's mouth twitched.
Shen San, Shen Liu and Lin Liu looked at the closed door and looked at each other.
After a moment, Shen San and Lin Liu glared at Shen Liu, turned around and left, leaving Shen Liu speechless there.
inside the house.
"Le'er, am I very, funny?" This was the only word Shen Yueqiao could use to describe this farce.
Good news: I won; Bad news: I was third from the bottom!
"My dear wife, it's great that you won. Le'er is proud of you!" Lin Hongle's smile was a little forced, but winning was a good thing after all.
Shen Yueqiao saw the comfort in his eyes. She laughed as if she didn't care and said, "It's good enough if we can win! Pack up and go back to the old house!"
Lin Hongle nodded, then left and went out to pack his things.
As soon as he left, Shen Yueqiao's face immediately fell. After all, she was a graduate student, and in ancient times, she was third from the bottom?
It seems that no matter what era it is, there are always talented people!
I am convinced in my two lifetimes!
Soon, the group went to the old house in a horse-drawn carriage.
As soon as he arrived at the old house, Shen Yueqiao was dumbfounded. The front door was decorated with red and green, and the firecracker fragments on the ground showed how lively the place was just now.
As soon as Shen Yueqiao got off the carriage, he saw Shen Daye coming out again with two people holding long firecrackers in their hands.
"Miss San?" Shen Daer saw Shen Yueqiao and immediately came over excitedly, saying, "Congratulations to Miss San for passing the exam!"
"Sophomore steward, this is not a good ranking, go back quickly." Shen Yueqiao felt that he was a bit socially dead.
"It's fine as long as I win!" Shen Daer waved his hand and said happily: "Please come in quickly. I will set off firecrackers here. After we offer sacrifices to our ancestors, we will have a buffet!"
Shen Yueqiao swallowed his saliva and said, "No, does mother know my ranking?"
"I know! Ninety-eighth place!" Shen Daer said as if it was a matter of course, "You passed the exam after only three attempts. The head of the family said you have the best potential!"
Shen Yueqiao:???
Let it go, let it go. Shen Yueqiao was powerless to stop it and could only pout and walk away.
When she was about to go to her mother's yard, Shen Dayi came out in a hurry and welcomed her into the main hall, saying as he walked: "Miss San, the head of the family and the masters are waiting for you in the main hall!"
Shen Yueqiao looked back at Lin Hongle, who seemed calm.
The group had no choice but to follow Shen Dayi.
main hall.
There are so many people!
Shen Yueqiao felt that everyone was together more than on his wedding day!
After greeting everyone one by one, Shen Yueqiao yawned and sat down in his seat.
Next, the group went to worship their ancestors. This scene made Shen Yueqiao think that he had passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer.
