Chapter 507: 254 Top of the Honor Roll (First Update)_3

As for their family background, Ning Zhiyuan and Xiao Liulang were from humble families, while the Prince of Ann County and Yuan Yu came from noble families.

Oh, right, Xiao Liulang is that little cripple, isn’t he?

Thinking of the crutch he had seen, the emperor’s brow furrowed.

…

All the examinees and their family members in the capital city began the long and anxious wait for the exam results. Even though everyone was basically a scholar, the worst case would be to become an associate scholar, but no one was really content with being an associate scholar.

The incense at Puji Temple had became more popular again, supposedly by the examination candidates coming to pray.

In Bishui Alley, a family looked as if nothing was the matter, but in fact, everyone was restless.

The old lady was no longer sneaking sweets and she wasn’t playing cards anymore; every day, she commanded the old housekeeper to buy skewers in the streets, actually just to inquire about news.

In these days, the Yao Family was not making pastries anymore, early in the morning they went to their neighbors’ houses, actually waiting for news.

Little Jingkong had been studying diligently these past few days because he was worried if his brother-in-law does not pass the examinations, the family would have to depend on him.

When he grew up, he would take the examination and bring the title of top scholar back to Jiaojiao!

The day the results were posted was on the twenty-seventh of April. As the list of successful candidates was written on yellow paper, it was also called the golden list.

The exam candidates could not wait at home for the announcement. They had to enter the Palace to meet the Emperor. They would only post the list in the major Yamen and the Imperial College in the Capital City after their meeting.

At dawn, Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang got up. After a simple breakfast, Gu Jiao sent Xiao Liulang off on Liao Quan’s carriage.

“The results aren’t out yet, don’t wait for me.” Xiao Liulang said to Gu Jiao.

“Hmm, alright.” Gu Jiao nodded.

Xiao Liulang dropped the curtain, thinking for a moment, and then lifted the curtain again.

Gu Jiao looked at him: “What happened?”

Xiao Liulang hesitated: “Nothing, it’s still early, go back to sleep for a while.”

Gu Jiao smiled: “Okay.”

Xiao Liulang glanced at her, ultimately deciding not to say anything. He put down the curtain and arrived at the Imperial Palace by carriage.

The candidates had mostly all arrived, including Fen Lin, Lin Chengye, and Du Ruohan.
