Chapter 236 The day the results are released


    Qin Lao Er and Qin Lao Er went back to Yi County.


    Qin Mingsong made an excuse to visit.


    Meng Qingrui and the others did not leave, saying they would wait until the results were released.


    There was no release of the results for a day, and they were all thinking about it. On the contrary, Qin Chi acted like a normal person and took Song Jin out from time to time, calling it for fun.


    Only Song Jin knew.


    Everywhere I went there was something about covering my eyes and ears.


    Qin Chi went to meet some people, and Song Jin guessed that they were his subordinates, who looked at him with humility and awe. She only vaguely heard them mentioning things in Jianning and Fuzhou when they were talking.


    Song Jin didn''t know what he said specifically.


    Because she avoided it.


    At the end of August, word spread over the Yamen.


    After Qin Chi came back from the entertainment, he said to Song Jin: "All the students who cheated will be dismissed from their academic honors and sentenced to exile after being beaten with a cane."


    "Yuan Shipeng too?" Song Jin was surprised.


    This punishment is very severe.


    Qin Chi said: "The Yuan family has given up on him."


    At least he gave up on Yuan Shipeng openly. Qin Chi knew that the Yuan family arranged for someone to take care of Yuan Shipeng secretly, but Yuan Shipeng probably couldn''t understand this painstaking effort. A young man who grew up pampered and pampered, once fell into the quagmire, few can really get up. Besides, since he was offended, Qin Chi would not give him a chance to get up.


    "Qin Qian!"


    Meng Qingrui staggered over.


    There was also a bottle of wine in his hand.


    "Qin Qian, come out and drink!" Meng Qingrui shouted again.


    Behind him, Lu Yanji pulled him, "I''ve just had a few drinks and I''m going crazy."


    "Haha, I guess he did it on purpose."


    Le Yan pointed at Meng Qingrui and laughed, "He must have wanted to drink flower wine, but Qi''an stopped him. He was unhappy and wanted to use the wine to vent his anger on Qi''an."


    "Nonsense! Am I the kind of person with no character?"


    Meng Qingrui was not convinced.


    Song Jin, who was inside the house, heard the commotion outside, and said with a slight curl of the corner of his mouth: "You didn''t let them go to the brothel to drink wine. Could it be that they went and you felt uncomfortable because you didn''t go?"


    The corner of Qin Chi''s mouth twitched, "I haven''t drank, so why are you talking nonsense?"


    "Isn''t it?"


    Song Jin raised her beautiful eyebrows and looked sideways at him.


    Qin Chi wanted to say that he knew it was not peaceful outside. Before the results were released, if anything indecent happened, they would probably be revoked, so he stopped the three of them from going to the brothel to enjoy themselves.


    But when he wanted to explain, he saw the smile hidden in the corners of Song Jin''s eyes and brows, and knew that she was asking this question on purpose.


    "It''s rare to see you so alive."


    Qin Chi was used to his wife being gentle and quiet, but he was very surprised that she would joke at this time.


    Peaceful days always pass quickly.


    The day when the results are released is an important day that attracts national attention.


    In addition to the candidates taking the exam, there are other people who join in the fun and will also go to watch the results.


    This makes the list release day particularly lively.


    The announcement of the list is usually posted on the east wall of the Gongyuan.


    In order to alleviate crowd congestion, the imperial court also set up a low wall outside the wall where the announcements were posted as a safety fence to isolate those who read the announcements from the wall to ensure order and safety.


    On the day when the results were released, it was just dawn.


    Qin Chi and others went out early.


    Originally, Qin Chi didn''t want to see the list in person because he thought it would be too crowded.


    The three of them, Meng Qingrui, went into battle together, trying to drag him along life and death, saying that this was a sense of ritual as a candidate.


    Song Jin naturally followed.


    The group arrived early and got a good spot.


    After only half an hour, the gate of Gongyuan was still closed, but the open space in front of the door was already crowded with eager students and their relatives and friends. Qin Chi and others could stand safely, but their servants blocked the crowd for them.


    The sound of a gong broke the morning tranquility.


    Accompanied by a burst of hurried footsteps, the gate of Gongyuan slowly opened.


    "Come out, come out!"


    "The list is about to be released!"


    "The results are released!"


    someone in the crowd exclaimed.


    The examiners in red robes filed out, with serious faces and steady steps. Immediately afterwards, lists filled with names were posted on the wall, and instantly, the crowd burst into thunderous noises.


    People looking at the list rushed to get to the front of the list.


    Some couldn''t squeeze in and were so anxious that they jumped; some couldn''t help crying with joy when they saw their names; more people had lost their names, some looked ashen, others were dejected.


    Song Jin was protected by Qin Chi and pushed forward.


    Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!


    Just in time to see the newly posted list.


    Song Jin read it from the first, so at the first glance, he saw the name at the front: Qin Qi''an.


    After the name is the place of birth of the person on the list.


    "The number one in this subject is Qin Qi''an from Yi County, Huizhou? Who is this? Why haven''t I heard of him?" someone asked in surprise.


    Someone else immediately added: "He doesn''t even know that he was the Xiao Sanyuan a few years ago. He was only a teenager when he won the Xiao Sanyuan. After being silent for several years, he won the first prize again!"


    "Wow, this guy is awesome."


    "It''s a pity to be second. Being in the same period with him can only be considered unlucky."


    "Shut up. It''s unlucky for someone to get second place in the exam, so what does it mean to be someone who didn''t make it? Ouch, who''s going to beat me up?"


    There was a commotion from behind.


    Song Jin was so crowded that she almost nestled in Qin Chi''s arms, but she still raised her head excitedly, gave Qin Chi a thumbs up, and silently opened her mouth and said: "Congratulations, sir, for winning the first place in the Guipang."


    Jieyuan!


    How awesome!


    It is said among the people that "Golden candidates are promoted, silver Jinshi" is not that simple. It is more difficult to be successful than to be promoted to Jinshi. The number of students admitted to each subject is very low, usually only the top dozens or hundreds of students are admitted.


    Qin Chi was very happy in his heart and couldn''t help holding his wife in his arms.


    "Ah, I''m hit! I''m hit!"


    Lu Yanji wiped the sweat from his forehead and stared at the names on the list. He couldn''t help shaking his hands and turned around to hug Meng Qingrui next to him. Tears rolled in his eyes and his joy was beyond words.


    Meng Qingrui patted him on the back and said, "Congratulations!"


    "Congratulations!"


    Le Yan also said congratulations.


    Meng Qingrui and Le Yan failed the list.


    Although this was within their expectations, they still had a bit of luck in their hearts.


    The two of them felt lost and depressed at this time, but they did not reach the point of collapse, and they could still maintain their dignity outside.


    After congratulating Lu Yanji, they wanted to express their congratulations to Qin Chi, but they happened to see the man protecting his wife and walking out.


    Old Li Tou and Qin Ba led the way.


    You''re leaving, why don''t you call them? !


    "We must let Qi''an treat us!"


    Meng Qingrui said loudly, as if he was venting his anger.


    Le Yan and Lu Yanji responded one after another and went to catch up with Qin Chi.


    The people standing around heard their words and watched them leave with envy.


    "Two out of four! Which school did they come from?" Someone couldn''t help but ask.


    Someone next to him said: "The guy just now couldn''t be Jie Yuan Qin Qi''an. I heard that he used to study at Tachuan Academy and later went to the Imperial College."


    "Nine times out of ten it is."


    "Hurry over and soak up the literary spirit."


    As soon as someone shouted, the crowd immediately surged again.
