MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 207 On the list
In a blink of an eye, it’s the day when the results are released.
Very early in the morning, the gate of the county government office was crowded with people who came to watch the excitement.
This first test took place twice, and all the good people are wondering whether there will be a third retest.
Only the students taking the scientific examinations felt uneasy.
Although Liu Ji was more than 80% confident that he would be on the list, he was still very panicked before the final result came out.
Qin Yao was much calmer. She stood at the outer edge of the crowd, holding the unfinished breakfast in her hand. While eating, she observed the surrounding scholars who came to take the scientific examination.
Many people have carried the Shenli bookcase sold by her family on their backs. Sure enough, the lever method is still not as convenient as the strap type in daily use.
However, the drag design can be used without it but it must be present.
Look at the young men who let the book boys drag the book boxes away. The boxes have already been hung with pendants such as Yingluo or jade pendants. Some even write poems on the book boxes themselves, or draw some flowers, birds, insects and fish, especially gorgeous.
Those who have not bought a book box are naturally envious.
Liu Ji was a little nervous. He found something to distract himself, so he left his classmates and squeezed in front of Qin Yao who was outside the crowd. He asked with a smile:
“Madam, did you leave one for me in this magical book box of yours?”
"No."
Liu Ji: "."
Although this answer was completely expected by him, the smile on his face was still a bit unstretched when he heard these two simple words.
“I saw several classmates using it yesterday, especially Fan Xiucai. They were so squeaky that it looked really annoying.” Liu Ji muttered.
After Qin Yao finished eating the remaining food on her hands, Liu Ji immediately took out the handkerchief from his arms and handed it to her to wipe her mouth.
Qin Yao unexpectedly glanced at the square scarf with rough stitching. Liu Ji was afraid that she would misunderstand it, so he quickly explained: "I made it myself, not as a gift from other women."
Qin Yao nodded, "When you have time at home, practice more with your second sister-in-law, and make one for me too."
Liu Ji was afraid of being overheard by his classmates, so he quickly made a shushing gesture and responded in a low voice, "Absolutely, but please keep your voice down."
“What kind of bookcase do you want?” Qin Yao threw the handkerchief into his arms and asked with a faint smile.
Liu Ji was overjoyed and immediately pointed to the one held by Fan Xiucai, a scholar, and said, "This one is fine. It would be better if it had more weird and weird functions than his."
Qin Yao deserved to be happy, "Okay, if you are on the list today, I will ask Carpenter Liu to make you a table with a small table that can be used as a table for writing and dining when you get back."
I thought he would be ecstatic when he said this.
I didn't want to, but I looked up and saw that someone heard the words "named on the list". The tension that I had finally suppressed rose again, my eyes were wandering, and I was pacing back and forth.
"Have you already had **** once?" Qin Yao said calmly: "I have experienced both happiness and unhappiness. Just be normal this time."
Liu Ji looked like he couldn't believe it and asked tentatively: "Do I really have another chance?"
Qin Yao raised the corner of her mouth and caught a glimpse of the suddenly excited crowd from the corner of her eye. She grabbed Liu Ji and rushed to the front.
The list is here.
A group of officials drove people away from the bulletin board. The remaining officials picked up the paste and the list and posted them up.
“There is your name!” Qin Yao’s eyes were sharp, and she immediately saw the two words Liu Ji.
She thought she would be calm, but she didn't expect that the tone of her voice would be extremely exciting.
Liu Ji glanced three or four times in succession to confirm that the two characters at the end were indeed his name. He patted his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Now I can finally feel relieved."
Fan Xiucai, who came to join in the fun, said from afar through the crowd: "Liu Ji, congratulations!"
This congratulation was somewhat joking, but Liu Ji accepted it with a smile and shook his fists, "Thank you, thank you." Fan Xiucai immediately shouted, leading his bookboy and his conspicuous magical book box Turn around and leave.
Liu Ji has already experienced this kind of scene once, so after confirming the list this time, he calmed down.
It was the bright smile on Qin Yao's face that made him a little dizzy.
He seemed to have never seen her smile so happily.
Liu Ji scratched his head, wanting to look at her a few more times, but felt a little embarrassed for some reason. He felt a joy of being recognized in his heart, which he had never felt before. It was not strong, but his waist seemed to be straightened.
After Qin Yao was overjoyed, she continued to look at the other names on the list and found a familiar name, Liu Li.
“Eh? Liu Laoer is also on the list?” Liu Ji then discovered Liu Li, who was ranked much ahead of him.
The second son of Liu Dafu's family was a candidate in the same batch as him.
Qin Yao asked Liu Ji curiously, "You two are in the same academy and in the same examination room, and you didn't even notice?"
Liu Ji shrugged, "I'm just thinking about how to pass the preliminary exam well so that I can make you happy, my wife. I don't have the time to pay attention to these unimportant people."
Of course, the real reason is that both of them came from the same village. He didn't want others to compare him with Liu Li, so he avoided them every day.
The two of them were obviously very familiar with each other, but they still pretended not to be familiar with each other in the county town.
Liu Li didn't like Liu Ji at first. He was happy to have a leisurely life, but he was afraid that Liu Ji would stick to him.
But it’s obviously unavoidable now.
Liu Li's dislike of Liu Ji does not conflict with his admiration and adoration for Qin Yao.
“Sister-in-law, you are here too!” Liu Li smiled and squeezed through the crowd, accompanied by his wife and brother Liu Gong.
Liu Gong also smiled politely at Qin Yao and said congratulations.
Qin Yao replied with congratulations, and Liu Ji could only express his congratulations to Liu Li.
“Go out and talk, there are too many people here.” Qin Yao pointed outside, led a few people out, stopped at an alley with few people, and exchanged greetings again.
Liu Li asked: "Sister-in-law, are you going back today? My brother has driven a carriage. Let's go back together?"
Qin Yao waved her hand, "We may be late. I've also driven a carriage. Let's go back to the village and meet again."
Liu Li felt a little disappointed after hearing this. He also wanted to ask Qin Yao about her fight against bears and tigers.
But they were all in the same village, so there were plenty of opportunities. He asked Liu Ji if he wanted to buy two firecrackers together and go back to announce the good news.
Liu Ji's eyes lit up, that was so majestic!
But just as she was about to agree, she was rejected by Qin Yao. She was afraid that Liu Ji would be too arrogant, so she had better keep a low profile.
Liu Ji had no choice but to smile and pretend to be modest, "No, no, wait until I get admitted as a scholar. Now I'm just a little boy. The county caught a lot of them, and they even set off cannons to spread the word. It's so funny! Madam, why are you hitting me? ?”
Qin Yao gave him an elbow and told him to shut up if he didn't know how to speak!
Liu Li, who was about to buy firecrackers and go back to the village to publicize them, reasonably suspected that Liu Laosan was in Yin Yang himself. He was afraid that he would be angry to death, so he left first and took the first step.
Before Liu Gong left, he asked Qin Yao when he would be breeding this year and if he could take them with him.
"This is a small matter. Let's go back to the village and talk about it when the time comes." Qin Yao said with a smile.
Liu Gong immediately felt relieved and took his younger brother to the county government office to get documents and certificates.
