As a result, Li Huairen only received an average score in several triennial performance appraisals.
Thinking that he had devoted himself to the people of Anzhou Prefecture and died, but in the end he got a mediocre politics, which was the biggest blow to him.
Now, a ten-year-old scholar has appeared in Anzhou Prefecture. He is so young. In a few years, I am afraid that... he will have a significant impact on his political achievements.
Thinking of this, Li Huairen could hardly contain his inner excitement. If there weren't outsiders below, he would have danced and jumped up and cheered.
Li Huairen was too happy because he thought it would be many years before he came to Lingyun to take part in the provincial examination or the provincial examination in the provincial capital.
Besides, it will only have an impact on him if he wins the Lingyun Examination or Jinshi.
After all, Ling Yun came from Anzhou Prefecture. The stronger he is, the higher his achievements will be, which will be helpful to Li Huairen's political achievements.
Now this is just a college examination, and the quality of the college examination can only determine the county magistrate's political performance.
If a county has produced many talents in the past three years and is one of the best in the country, then his political performance is very likely to be excellent, and promotion is essential.
After Li Huairen read it and suppressed his excitement, he handed the examination papers to them for circulation.
Although everyone below has already checked the volume at this time, everyone still checked it again.
It seems incredible to think that they actually selected a ten-year-old scholar.
That to-the-point, to-the-point policy doesn't look like an article written by a ten-year-old child.
At the same time, there were several great scholars sitting there, and some of them had already secretly vowed in their hearts that they would be accepted as disciples.
With Lingyun's talent, as long as he trains his poetry writing ability a little, it is easy to pass the imperial examination. After a few more years of training, he can also pass the Jinshi.
If you have such an opportunity, you must act first to gain the upper hand, otherwise changes may occur if you wait too late.
"Do you think the matter of the ten-year-old suspect should be reported to the Academic Affairs Master again?" Someone suddenly said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Li Huairen above.
Li Huairen was stunned, frowning for a moment, hesitant, and finally indecisive.
"Master Academic Affairs is busy with official duties, so why don't we bother him? After all, there is a decree in front of him, so we can just make the evaluation according to our wishes." Another person spoke up, and everyone felt that what he said was reasonable, and everyone acquiesced one after another.
...
Ling Yun probably didn't expect that his age would attract so many people's attention.
At this time, he and the fat man had finished shopping leisurely and were about to return to Wang's house.
When the results of the college examination are released in the afternoon, if nothing unexpected happens, we will pack up and go home tomorrow.
When I think about myself being away from home for nearly three months, I wonder if there was any accident at home.
After the government examination was over, he sent a letter to his family, but the reply was just a number. It was just a message to say that nothing happened at home and to ask Shiro to have a good time in the scientific examination.
I am so excited when I think about going home soon!
"Brother Ling, cousin, why are you not back until now?" Wang Jinghui ran out before he entered the door.
"What's wrong? Brother Wang." Ling Yun looked at his anxious face, worried that something had gone wrong.
"Nothing, I just heard that the government office has started publishing the results. If you don't come back, I will send people to the streets to look for you." Wang Jinghui explained with a smile, his voice full of expectation.
"Oh? How come it's so fast? We thought it was just Shen's time to come out, but we almost missed the time."
"Stop talking, come in quickly." Wang Jinghui said and took us in together, but not towards the courtyard where Ling Yun lived.
Ling Yun glanced around and realized that this was the way to the main courtyard. Although he had doubts, he did not say anything.
When taking the college examination, you will register your exam residence and place of birth.
Therefore, when the list is released, if you are lucky enough to be on the list, the government will send someone to report it.
Not long after, there were sounds in the street, and Ling Yun knew that these were the sounds announcing good news.
More and more voices announcing the good news were heard in every corner of the city, and Ling Yun's heart could not help but beat fast.
He, who was always calm, squeezed his hands tightly, the sweat on his palms intertwined between his fingers. Ling Yun spread his palms to dry them, but it didn't help.
The weather in late June was already hot, and coupled with my nervousness, sweat kept pouring from my forehead.
"Ling Yun, I'm so nervous!" The fat man said at an inappropriate time.
"I know, don't be nervous." It seemed that Ling Yun was comforting the person, but what he didn't know was that his voice was trembling, and it sounded more like himself to the nervous person.
The fat man tilted his head and glanced at Ling Yun. He didn't know what to look at, and was shocked when he saw it.
"Ling Yun, why are you sweating so much?" the fat man asked in confusion.
"It's normal to sweat when the weather is hot."
"But didn't you seldom sweat in the past?"
"Um!"
"Ling Yun, are you more nervous than me? Look at the sweat on your body, it's even more sweaty than mine."
Even though Ling Yun didn't want to pay attention to him, the fat man didn't seem to want to let him go. He kept chattering on and on.
Ling Yun, who was already uneasy, was momentarily confused by him.
"Where is Mr. Wang Wenxuan? Congratulations to Mr. Wang, congratulations to Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang is a scholar!"
The official's voice resounded throughout the main courtyard of the palace. Wang Wenxuan and everyone in the courtyard were stunned for a moment.
Wang Jinghui was even worse, dumbfounded and motionless.
For a moment, the palace was completely silent.
Until Wang Wenxuan reacted, he quickly pushed his son and said softly, "Why are you still standing there?"
Only then did Wang Jinghui come to his senses, saluted the officer, and said slowly, "Thank you, sir, for reporting the message. Please take a seat and have a cup of herbal tea first..."
After knowing that it was Wang Jinghui, the official bowed his hands and congratulated him, saying, "Young Master Wang, I have good news! Master Wang has won the ninth place!"
Wang Jinghui motioned to the servant to bring him a bowl of tea. The official drank it all in one gulp, wiped his mouth and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Xiucai, for watching the tea. I'm in a hurry to go to the next person's house to report the news, so I won't bother you."
Wang Wenxuan nodded in understanding, looked to the side and said, "Xiaoyu, watch and appreciate."
"Thank you, Mr. Shen." Several officials received the silver reward, with bright smiles on their faces. They left the palace and continued to beat gongs and drums to announce the good news to the next house.
After the official left, Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang laughed so hard that they couldn't close their mouths.
Ling Yun and Fatty stepped forward to report the good news to Wang Jinghui.
"Don't worry, I believe you will be next." Seeing Ling Yun's nervousness, Wang Jinghui comforted him.
Ling Yun nodded silently.
The waiting itself was a long torment. The sound of drums outside the door from far to near gave Ling Yun hope again and again, but it disappointed him in the blink of an eye.
Ling Yun thought to himself that as long as the drums outside announcing the good news continued, he still had a glimmer of hope, and he would not give up even until the last moment.
"Congratulations to Mr. Li for being selected as a scholar! Second place..."
Suddenly Ling Yun heard the second person's voice coming from a distance to announce the good news.
He couldn't help but feel disappointed and looked gloomy, thinking that this time it really didn't go as he wished.
