Su Jianyi squeezed to the front, with full determination, and did not let the people behind him push him away. He just stared at the people in front of him to post the long case on the wall.

More than a dozen people came, and they posted the long case one by one from the back to the front, and issued the case with their names. They just needed to find their own name on it.

Su Jianyi had no confidence in himself.

He first glanced in front, and then looked up from the end of the long case.

Even if he was at the bottom, he would be ecstatic, wishing that the last name was his.

Unfortunately, he looked up for several names in a row, but he didn't see his name.

"No way, no way, did I fail the exam again?"

He was so panicked that sweat broke out on his forehead. Names flashed before his eyes, but he couldn't see the three words he was most familiar with.

"I got it!"

"Why is my name not there? Did I miss it? Where is my name?!"

"Hurry up, doctor, someone has fainted here..."

"Suboting, this Suboting is amazing. He is the top of our county case this time."

"Suboting? Really Suboting?!" Su Jianyi straightened up immediately after hearing the voice. He didn't bother to find his own name and looked towards the top.

Sure enough, he saw Suboting's name in that position.

Top of the case! Really the top of the case!

For a moment, he was filled with ecstasy. He waved his hands and laughed loudly: "The top of the case is my nephew, and I am the uncle of the top of the case!"

I was so happy, especially with the envious expressions coming from all around. The sense of pride made him want to jump up.

"Your nephew is promising!"

"It would be great if he was my nephew."

"Why are you still here? Go and tell me the good news."

"Tell me the good news? Wait a minute..." Su Jianyi suddenly came to his senses. He seemed to have something else to do. He pushed the people around him and shouted, "Don't push me. I still have to find my own name."

In a moment of happiness, he forgot important things.

When he was about to go back to the tail to continue looking for his name, he glanced at it and seemed to see three particularly familiar words.

Su Jianyi was stunned.

That position is not simple. In addition to the county case leader at the front, there will be ten names behind.

These ten names are the top ten in the county, the ten most outstanding names besides the case leader.

He, he, he, he... made it into the top ten? !

Seeing that he was confused, the people beside him thought that he had failed the exam, so they patted his shoulder and said, "You look young, if you don't pass this time, you can come again next time."

"Yes, yes, yes, make room for us quickly, I can't see the front clearly when you block me."

"Didn't your nephew get the first place in the exam? Hurry back and report the good news."

"Report the good news? Yes, report the good news!" Su Jianyi subconsciously turned around and rushed out of the crowd, shouting, "Stinky boy! I passed the exam... What place did I get? Wait... Is that my name?"

He was so happy that he rushed out without seeing clearly. If he saw it wrong, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

He turned around immediately and rushed forward again.

As he came and went, Su Lin outside was laughing non-stop.

It seemed that he was really excited.

When his father rushed up, he followed him.

But his father looked at the names behind, and he looked directly at the front.

Although he likes to say a few words to him from time to time, Su Lin also knows that as long as nothing unexpected happens, his father will definitely be on the list, and his name may even be ranked at the front.

Sure enough, he entered the top ten.

Even if he is the last in the top ten, it is also an honor.

And there are a lot of names behind him. It is definitely not luck to be in the top ten, but he has the ability.

Su Jianyi was so excited inside that he tightened his face when he came out to prevent himself from laughing out loud. He cleared his throat and said, "It's okay, it's just the top ten."

Su Lin looked at him and stretched out his hand to hug him, "Dad, you are great!"

"Hehe." Su Jianyi couldn't hold back his smile. If it weren't for the brat hugging him, he felt that he could float to the sky.

Today is a double happiness.

One is the first in the case, and the other is in the top ten. We must celebrate it well.

We found the largest tavern in the city and went to the restaurant together.

After eating a full meal, we still have to do what we should do.

After the county exam, there is the prefectural exam. There are three exams in the prefectural exam. Only after passing the exam can one become a student.

There are only two months left. Su Jianyi has no time to be happy. He has to go into the study to read books.

He studied hard, but the news of passing the exam has spread to the village.

After hearing the news, Mr. Su smiled more and talked to the people who came to congratulate him. He didn't look like he was extremely surprised.

But in fact, the hands hanging by his legs were trembling slightly.

Excited, really too excited!

He has been looking forward to this moment for more than 20 years. He thought he would never see this scene in his lifetime, but he didn't expect it to be successful.

After seeing off the guests, Mr. Su walked into the house with his hands behind his back.

Aunt Su looked at him and said in confusion: "Why does the old man look unhappy?"

"Such a big happy event, how can he not be happy?" How could Mrs. Su not see her husband's temper? At this time, he must be hiding in the room wiping tears, for fear of being seen by other people in the family and losing face.

Yes, it was such a happy event, I was really happy, and I couldn’t help but shed tears.

She wiped her face, got up and walked into the house.

As expected, she saw her husband sitting on the bed with his face covered.

Old Mrs. Su handed over a handkerchief and joked, "Keep your voice down, the grandchildren can hear it."

Old Master Su wiped his face, his eyes were red, but he couldn't hide his joy, "I'm really happy. When I'm dead a hundred years later, I can tell this good news to my ancestors."

"Then you have to take good care of yourself. This is just a county exam. There are many more exams to come. It is said that you can become a scholar after passing something, right?" Old Mrs. Su couldn't say this. She only knew that she would have to take many more exams to come, and she didn't know if the old man could pass. "But Ting'er is really promising. So many people got the first place in the exam. He will definitely become a scholar in the future, right?"

"My Jianyi is not bad either, he's in the top ten." Old Master Su was a little proud. He didn't dare to be too ostentatious outside, for fear that being too ostentatious would cause trouble for Su Jianyi in the future.

But at home, there was no need to hide it.

Looking at this old face full of pride, "Do you know how many people went to take the county exam? Among so many people, our Jianyi managed to get into the top ten. What a great honor."

They were already very happy to pass the exam, and this ranking surprised them even more.

Grandpa Su didn't say it, but he thought in his heart that since Su Jianyi's name was ranked so high, could he pass the following exams?

If he could pass, their family could really produce a student or a scholar.

The more he thought about it, the more his nose felt sore, and tears couldn't help but come out.

Grandpa Su had never cried like this in his life, no matter how hard or tired he was. No matter how hard it was, he would grit his teeth and bear it himself.

But at this moment, tears just fell like this. He wiped his face with a handkerchief and said with a sob, "I'm happy."

Mrs. Su knew that he was happy. She patted his back and said, "How about we go to Nanlin City? Didn't Brother Lin say that the house has been bought, so we can have a place to live when we go there."

Mr. Su shook his head, "No, there is more than a month before the provincial examination. If we go there now, it will only disturb Jianyi's peace. Let him read well, and we will find time to go there later."

Don't want to go?

Of course not.

Mr. Su wanted to leave now.

But he was worried that if he went there, Su Jianyi would be distracted and he would have more pressure. It would be better for him to stay in the village and wait for news.

The waiting time was not so easy to endure. Fortunately, Mr. Su also had things to do. When Bi Qiao left, the family pastry business was handed over to him. When he was busy, he had no time to think about it.

Just like that, April arrived.

There is no difference between the prefectural exam and the county exam, except that there are only three exams instead of four.

This time, Su Jianyi was lucky and was not assigned to the stinky number. For a moment, he was even quite disappointed.

Although he was stinky, he did well in the exam.

What if he did not do well in the exam if he was not assigned to the stinky number?

If he could not change his seat, he would have wanted to move directly to the stinky number.

After this exam, Su Jianyi was a little depressed when he walked out of the exam room. Looking at the stinky boy who came to pick him up, he didn't even want to talk.

"Dad, do you want to drink some tea to moisten your throat?"

Su Jianyi sighed, "Son, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to participate in the next one."

Su Lin was a little surprised. According to his father's level, he should not be eliminated in the first round.

"I was not assigned to the stinky number." Su Jianyi wrinkled his face and looked like he was about to cry.

"..." Su Lin was speechless, "How is the writing?"

"I have finished writing, but I was not assigned to the bad number!" Su Jianyi felt that the bad boy did not understand him. The bad number was definitely his lucky position, otherwise how could he get the top ten in the previous county examination?

This must be a matter of taste.

Su Jianyi sniffed and felt more and more sad. He did not forget to glare at the boy in front of him. He did not know to comfort him. He raised him in vain!

However, think about it.

It seems that he did not raise his son much. Instead, he relied on the money earned by his future daughter-in-law to live in a big house and ride in a carriage.

Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty.

After returning home, Su Jianyi did not even have the energy to read. Facing a table of delicacies, he rarely had no appetite. He waved to others and went back to the house to lie down.

Bi Qiao looked at him and asked, "Is Dad sick? Do you want to find a doctor to see him?"

"No need." Su Lin shook his head, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating, "I will be fully recovered after the list of the first round comes out."

Sure enough, when Su Jianyi knew that he was not eliminated, he was instantly energetic.

The seat for the second round was also not the bad number, but it was a little closer than the bad number in the first round. Before he started to do the questions, he felt that he would definitely do better than the previous round.

I was immediately confident and wrote as if with a god.

When the list of this round came out, Su Jianyi was not surprised at all. If he was eliminated, it would be a surprise.

He was more determined in his heart that the bad number was his luck.

At the door of the last round, Su Jianyi put his hands together and muttered softly.

The people behind him were a little curious and couldn't help but listen forward.

"Don't be a bad number, you must be a bad number, God bless me to go to the bad number!"

After hearing this, the candidates in the same round looked weird. Is this person sick? Why must he go to the bad number when there is no other place to go?

No, no, you have to stay away from him. Don’t get infected with any disease from this person.

Su Jianyi prayed sincerely, but he didn't get what he wanted.

The dormitories are divided into four categories.

In addition to the stinky dormitories, there are old dormitories, small dormitories and seat dormitories.

The small dormitories are small, so you can't even stand up and stretch. You have to curl up your legs to lie down when you rest, and you can't even spread out the test paper to read the questions.

The seat dormitories are even worse, as they are temporary dormitories.

They are still built with straw mats, and even a gust of wind may blow the straw mats down, let alone rain.

Among these four categories, the best is the old dormitories.

Although it is also ordinary, fortunately there are not so many problems. If the candidates are assigned to this position, they must be very happy.

But Su Jianyi is not like that.

Looking at the dormitories that everyone wants, he really wants to move to the stinky dormitories.

After the exam, Su Lin saw his father was listless, and the first thing he said was: "You didn't assign the position well again?"

"Well, how could I be so miserable that I was assigned to the old number." Su Jianyi sighed after he finished speaking.

Coincidentally, a pale man came over, with a strange smell all over his body, covering his mouth and almost vomiting. When he heard Su Jianyi's words, his eyes rolled up and he almost fainted from anger.

Is it miserable to be assigned to the old number? Then what do you call someone like him who was assigned to the stinky number? !

In order to avoid being beaten up, Su Lin hurriedly took his father home.

There were still two days before the list was announced, and Su Lin planned to move first during this time.

Before, in order to study in peace, he didn't want to distract Su Jianyi because of the move, so he lived in the original courtyard even if he bought a house.

After the results of the prefectural exam came out, he had to wait until August for the academy exam. During this period, it was more comfortable to live in a new house.

Moving was not tiring. They only had their own luggage, and the new house had everything else.

Looking at the eldest mansion, Su Jianyi's mouth never closed since he entered the gate. He had never seen such a nice house before, and he didn't expect that he would live in it one day.

"Hurry up and write a letter to your grandfather, and ask them to come and see. The old man has never lived in such a nice house in his life."

"Wait until the list is announced, and then write to him together." Su Lin said.

It would be best if he could win, and let the family come to celebrate together. If he really can't win, then he still has to live in the new house.

In this way, the three of them settled down in the new house.

Before, Su Boting was invited to be a guest, but Su Boting refused on the grounds that he would return to the village after the list was announced, and moving back and forth would be too troublesome. In addition, because of his first place in the case, he became a little famous in the city, and was invited to a banquet by many people in the city.

Su Jianyi was lying on a bench, and he said with a comfortable look on his face: "If I were fifteen years younger, I would definitely go and join in the fun. You see, those people want to keep Ting Ge'er at home and make him their son-in-law."

He has only passed the county exam, and the results of the prefectural exam have not been released. No one knows how the subsequent academy exam will go.

But he is the top of the case. As long as there is no big accident, it is a sure thing that he will be a scholar, and he may even go further.

In this way, it is inevitable that some people in the city will be tempted.

Thinking of settling Ting Ge'er's marriage before he gets up.

In addition, because Ting Ge'er is still young, some people also like him and want him to be a student. Maybe he can even be envied by a scholarly family.

Just thinking about it makes me a little envious.

Su Jianyi smacked his lips, "If I were fifteen years younger, maybe I could..."

"Dad, I will tell Mom about these words." Su Lin interrupted his bold words.

"..."Su Jianyi choked and couldn't say the rest of the words.

Would he be afraid of his own wife?

Actually, he was a bit cowardly. When his family was looking for a wife for him, he fell in love with Jia at first sight. It was not because Jia was good-looking, but because she was like him, a person who was used to enjoying life.

If they really stayed together, he would definitely not be asked by his wife to make progress.

But in the end, he was wrong.

Jia was simple-minded and lived a free life, but because of this, if he really angered her, he would definitely not have a good ending. He had only tried it once in his life, and he had to beg for two years in the room before he made her calm down.

He snorted at the brat and simply went back to the study to read.

Books made him happier than brats.

The results were announced early in the morning two days later.

Just like the day of the county exam, he was waiting outside early. With the experience of the previous time, Su Lin ran faster than Su Jianyi this time and rushed to the front position in an instant.

When Su Lin saw his father's name in front of him, he felt a sense of accomplishment. It turns out that the hope of his son to become a dragon...

Pah, the feeling of hoping his father to become a dragon is so great.

Just being a Tongsheng made him feel dizzy and happy. If he became a scholar, a Juren or even a higher achievement, wouldn't he be so happy?

Clenching his fists tightly, Su Lin decided to be stricter with his father in the future.

In addition to Su Jianyi, Su Boting's name was also at the top of the list.

I have to say it's awesome, this guy is really a god of learning.

"Stinky boy! I got it!" Su Jianyi rushed out of the crowd. This time he was not uncertain, but absolutely sure that his name was on the list!

He rushed out and hugged Su Lin in his arms. The two jumped up, "Tongsheng, I will be a Tongsheng in the future!"

After jumping twice, he saw Su Boting on the side and rushed over to hug him in his arms, "Nephew, we are Tongsheng!"

After knowing his name, Su Boting kept a proper smile on his face.

He was not surprised.

After all, he was a top student, and it was normal for him to get the first place in the exam.

But when his uncle hugged him, he seemed to be infected with his excitement, which made him happier.

He couldn't help but jump up with him.

Bi Qiao looked at the two of them, bumped the arm of the person next to him, and said with a curled lip: "Congratulations, Tongsheng's son."

Su Lin clasped his hands and said to her: "Congratulations, Tongsheng's son's child bride."

The two smiled at each other after hearing this.

Of course, in addition to the happy people, some people at the scene also looked very sad.

When Su Jianyi looked at this group of people, he suddenly remembered his original self.

He didn't take it seriously, but he still had a little hope for the county exam, but every time he got disappointment.

At that time, he was actually most afraid of one thing.

That was to go back and face his family.

Every time his family sent him out, there was worry and expectation in their eyes.

When he returned, he looked at his family from afar and could clearly see that expectations gradually turned into disappointment.

He had to force a smile to comfort him.

However, this time was different!

"Let's go home, let's go home now, I have to tell the old man this good news." Su Jianyi was a little impatient.

He originally planned to stay in the city until August to take the next exam.

But this time, Su Jianyi really couldn't stay.

He just wanted to go back to the village immediately and shout in front of everyone "I passed the exam"!

He wanted to make his parents happy, and let other people in the village know that his parents and his two brothers had spent so much energy and money to support his studies over the years, and it was not in vain.

He also wanted his wife's family to understand that his wife was not wronged to marry him, and that she could give her a better life in the future.

And his son... his stinky boy.

In fact, Su Jianyi did not understand that Su Lin's supervision over the years was to help him do better in the exam, which was not a simple thing.

Su Lin could also read the books he read.

For him, this kid must have suffered a lot and worked hard in private.

The more he thought about it, the more his nose felt sore, and his head was a little dizzy.

It felt like he had jumped too much just now.

Su Jianyi stretched out his hand to support his lower back, "Go back, let's get up and go home now, and personally pick up the old man to live in the new house."

In this way, the Su family father and son packed their luggage and planned to return to the village.

Originally, Su Boting would have gone with them, but who knew that he would stay temporarily.

"Are you planning to stay and become a disciple?" Su Jianyi listened to him and nodded, "That's good. It's not easy to meet a suitable master. Since you have this idea, you should seize it well."

Su Boting also meant this.

At first, he didn't plan to stay in the city for a long time, and naturally he didn't think about finding a teacher here.

But it was just so coincidental that after several visits, he felt that Master Xi was a capable person with great ideas and knowledge. If he could stay with him to study, he would definitely be able to make up for his shortcomings.

Master Xi did not take the initiative to take him in as a disciple, but he wanted to try and see if he could stay with Master Xi as a student.

"Okay, I will bring the good news to your parents, they must be very happy." Su Jianyi said.

Come to think of it, the son of this family is so outstanding, how can the parents not be happy?

Just like the old man, if he heard the good news, he would probably laugh from ear to ear.

Bi Qiao, who was listening to the side, thought for a while, "Dad, I won't go back this time either."

"Why are you staying here?" Su Jianyi was puzzled and shook his head subconsciously, "No, how can I feel at ease if you stay here alone?"

Although Su Boting would also stay, the two were children in his eyes, so he didn't dare to let them stay here.

Especially Bi Qiao was still a girl.

If something happened, they couldn't rush back immediately even if they wanted to help.

"I won't go out often." Bi Qiao promised.

Su Jianyi looked at her and laughed twice.

It's a pity to trust her.

After being in Nanlin City for such a long time, she is the one who goes out the most frequently.

He stays in the study room reading books every day, and only goes out for a walk occasionally. Su Lin is also a person who likes to stay at home. There is no need for her to stay at home and stare at him reading books instead of going out.

Only Bi Qiao.

She seems to be restless and wants to run out every day.

He is considered a particularly open-minded elder, otherwise he would have detained her at home and not let her go out.

Before, he let Bi Qiao go out because he thought that since they were in the city, they could help if something happened nearby.

If he really had to leave, he would be worried.

Su Jianyi shook his head, "No, no, how can I leave you here alone."

"I want to stay and find my family." Bi Qiao said.
