On the tenth day of the first month of the 11th month of Tianlan World, early in the morning, Ziyan pulled Lu Yu up from the bed, today is the day when the results of the scientific examination are announced, if you go late, the crowds outside the Gongyuan will not be able to squeeze in at all.

In fact, when everyone arrived at the gate of the Ministry of Rites, it was already crowded, and this was still the remaining 300,000 candidates in the first literary examination.

"It's still too late, and I can't squeeze in at all!"

It was not too late for everyone to come, but some people came earlier, and they had already blocked the entrance of the Rite Tribute Courtyard, and basically only the back of the head of the person in front of them could be seen.

"Forget it, let's find a restaurant nearby, let's wait slowly!"

When a few people found a restaurant, they found that there were still many people who had the same idea as a few people, and they took up their positions early, waiting for the announcement of the results of the imperial examination.

At this time, some unscrupulous businessmen took out benches and chairs and rented them at the door at a high price, and they would cost one or two silver for one use, and the tea would have to be counted separately.

But dissatisfied is dissatisfied, should find a place to rest or rest, the Ministry of Rites announced the results is not so early, every step has strict procedures and systems, even if the candidates are in a hurry, they can only wait patiently outside.

At about four o'clock, the gate of the Gongyuan slowly opened, and out of it came a famous official with a bright red good news in his hand, and while smearing glue on the wall, he pasted the good news with the candidate's name on it.

"I'm in!"

Some people in the crowd shouted excitedly, and the excitement infected the other candidates who were watching the list, one by one stretched their necks and looked in on their toes, even if the monk's eyesight was not bad, but unfortunately it was too far away and could not see anything.

"Help me see if my name is on it."

"Why are you in a hurry! Now that the final ranking of the top three is announced, is there still a period of time before all of them are announced? ”

"The top three is good, the second class and the first class are what we candidates can hope for?"

"That's right, if you don't have a cultivation of more than seven layers of qi refining, Erjia is just dreaming!"

A candidate muttered in a low voice beside him: "How do I feel that the overall cultivation of candidates is getting lower and lower now, there have been candidates from the Spirit Vein Realm in the past scientific examinations, but this year there is not a single candidate from the Spirit Vein Realm, and there are only two or three Great Perfections of Qi Refining, most of them are Qi Refining Eighth*Nine Layer ......." ”

"When you say it, it seems like that's really the case. Why does that say? ”

"How do I know!"

Xu Xia and Xia Yueming also stretched their necks, but the position where they stood was five or six hundred meters away from the list, and this distance could only be done with a telescope.

Lu Yu was thinking about what Tianlan World would do when it encountered this situation, whether someone would make a telescope or something, just as Lu Yu was thinking wildly, a small servant ran past a few people, holding a few pieces of paper in his hand and kept shaking: "The latest list of three thousand, five hundred wen a copy!" ”

"And such a sassy operation!"

Several people are looking at each other, there are really people who have copied the list and are selling, how much these people want to make money!

Although it is a little shameful, there are also people who pay for it, and then read the name on it aloud, in fact, in Lu Yu's opinion, knowing that his results are actually the same a little earlier and later, especially when Lu Yu also knows that he will definitely be on the list, he is not interested in joining in the fun.

The results were announced from the fourth quarter of the hour, and it was not until the second quarter that the results of the 30,000 candidates who passed the examination were posted one after another.

However, Lu Yu still doesn't know his ranking.

But the names of the first and second class have come out, and Xu Xia spent a tael of silver to buy the list of the second class from a small guy.

When he saw the list of the top two, Xu Xia's whole person was ecstatic, "The second hundred and ninety-sixth!" ”

"It's really Erjia, I'm not dreaming!"

Xu Xia stuffed the second-class list into Lu Yu's hands and asked Lu Yu to help see if he was dreaming.

"It's really two hundred and ninety-six, congratulations, congratulations!"

"Who made it to the second grade?"

A well-dressed middle-aged man squeezed out of the crowd, looked at Xu Xia and said, "This son really won the second grade?" ”

Xu Xia nodded, lit up the list of the top two and said: "Xuzhou Xu Xia is two hundred and ninety-six, it's true!" ”

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up and said, "Is Gongzi Xu married?" ”

Xu Xia was still immersed in the joy of being in the second grade in the examination, "I'm married, what's wrong?" ”

The middle-aged man was a little unwilling and said, "Is his wife a monk?" ”

Xu Xia still didn't react, "Naturally not a monk, is there any problem?" ”

The middle-aged man grabbed Xu Xia's hand and said: "I have a daughter in my family, who is double ten years old, cultivated to the second level of qi refining, has outstanding appearance and docile personality, and can form a Taoist couple with Xu Gongzi, I don't know if Xu Gongzi is willing." ”

In the Tianlan world, the mortal wives taken by the monks can only be regarded as ordinary wives, not regular wives. Of course, the monk would not regard a mortal woman as his wife, so strictly speaking, Xu Xia is not married yet.

"Ahh

This is a son-in-law under the list, Xu Xia reacted at this time, I have long heard someone say that some second-class candidates in the scientific examination every time, if there is no Taoist couple, they will be caught by some powerful families in the capital to marry their own women, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to really fall on my head.

There are only three people in the first class, and the status is naturally needless to say, even if you want to catch a son-in-law, it is not the turn of ordinary magnates, so most of the magnates in the capital have their eyes on the second-class candidates.

There are 300 people in the second class, and the status of officialdom in the future is also unlimited, and the choice is also very large, plus Xu Xia is too excited, it is not surprising that he is targeted.

There are only too many people in the top three, a full 29,697 people, even if these people enter the officialdom, but because the starting point is too low, there is little room for growth, so no one pays attention to the top three candidates.

"Joy is sorrowful!"

"Run!"

I don't know who reminded me next to me, Xu Xia reacted immediately, and he didn't care about Lu Yu and Xia Yueming next to him, so he rushed into the crowd and disappeared.

The middle-aged man who did not succeed in catching his son-in-law was a little unwilling, and also chased him out in the direction where Xu Xia fled.

Lu Yu and Xia Yueming laughed heartlessly, and just as they were laughing, there was a commotion in the street, and dozens of colorful carriages slowly drove in, separating the crowd from the middle.

Forthwith...... The melodious sound of silk and bamboo slowly floated out, and the hundred music on the car rang out in unison, and the hundred charms competed to dance, and for a time the singing and silk bamboo resounded around the Gongyuan.

The ethereal "Champion Words" song sounded, and the charming girls were as charming as silk, or sitting, standing, or holding musical instruments to play, and the beautiful and incomparably strange women performed on the spot, and the candidates who watched the list were attracted for a while.

"Every time the scientific examination is over, many Qinglou women in the capital will hold a hundred performances, sing happily, and congratulate many candidates!"

Lu Yu and Xia Yueming took advantage of this opportunity to finally squeeze to the front of the list and began to look for their rankings.

There were obviously a lot fewer candidates on the list, and the two of them quickly saw Xia Yueming's ranking from the top three list, "Brother Xia, you are twenty-seven thousand one hundred and seventy-two." ”

"Hit!"

Xia Yueming cried with joy, his hope of passing the exam was the slimest, although his ranking was very close to 30,000, he still passed the exam.

Lu Yu was also happy for Xia Yueming, if only Xia Yueming was the only one of the three who fell off the list, he didn't know how to persuade him.

"Look at your ranking", Xia Yueming didn't forget that Lu Yu didn't see his ranking.

Lu Yu was not worried about this, because the man had clearly told him that he could pass the exam, but it was just a matter of ranking.

Soon Lu Yu saw his ranking among the many candidates: four thousand eight hundred and fifty-one, for this ranking, Xia Yueming was not surprised at all, after all, he had long known Lu Yu's cultivation, and the ranking of martial arts double cultivation would definitely not be too low, but the ranking of four thousand eight hundred and fifty-one still made Xia Yueming a little disappointed.

"The scientific expedition task is completed, and the top three are ranked, and 5 skill points are rewarded."

"New mission release ......."
