Daily life of the mistress

Chapter 106: Imperial Examination Results

Lu Lingjun sent someone to find Huang Yue's uncle and his family.
    The next day, she was still busy with chores at home when Wang Qiluo came to find her excitedly.

    "Lingyun, it's out! It's out!"

    "What happened?"

    "The exam results are out!"

    Wang Qiluo excitedly pulled Lu Lingjun out of the house to see the list.

    Seeing how happy she was, Lu Lingjun said nothing. He asked the wet nurse, Shuanghong and the maids to take good care of little Bing'an, and then he followed Wang Qiluo in a carriage to the outside of the Imperial Examination Hall to watch the announcement of the results.

    There was a crowd of people outside the Dahuang list.

    Lu Lingyun and Wang Qiluo found a place and went over to watch.

    As expected, the top-ranked person was just as Lu Lingyun remembered, a man named Tong Zhengjian.

    Tong Zhengjian was a Jiangxi scholar who was almost forty years old. He was very good at taking exams and had prepared for the imperial examination in a local academy for ten years. He had beautiful calligraphy.

    After ten years of hard work, he finally won the first place in this exam.

    Of course, before that, he had taken part in the imperial examinations several times but failed to make the list.

    He was like a dark horse, emerging as a star in this spring examination.

    Suddenly there was a loud shout from the crowd.

    "Lao Tong! You got it!"

    "You even won the first prize!"

    “You’re awesome!”

    The noisy crowd immediately looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw a short, middle-aged man with a long beard and wearing a coarse cloth gown surrounded by a group of people.

    "So this is our Master Yuan!"

    "Congratulations, Master Tong!"

    "Master Tong is about to soar into the sky!"

    "I wonder if Master Tong has gotten married yet! I have a little girl at home, she's sixteen years old and still unmarried!"

    "Master Tong, please come to our restaurant and have a seat. We have prepared delicious wine and food at Yuexianglou!"

    "Master Tong is coming to our inn, and we have prepared a top-notch room for Master Huiyuan."

    "All of you get out of here, Master Tong. My master is the head official of the Household Registration Department in the capital, and we are from the same hometown. My master invites you to rest in our house and chat about family matters!"

    Amidst a group of people admiring and trying to win him over, the short middle-aged man had no time to care about anything else but the excitement and joy of seeing himself top the list.

    Hahahaha laughter.

    He was laughing and suddenly there was a click, and he closed his eyes and passed out.

    When everyone saw Tong Zhengjian fainting from laughing, they all rushed forward to grab him without caring about him.

    In the end, the servant of the head official of the Household Registration Department was asked to bring a group of people to carry the person away.
