Chapter 220 Sun Shan Part 2
When I look down and up again, the results are announced, which is also the most exciting moment.
Sun Shan looked at Zheng Hongwen and Liang Can. They had big dark circles under their eyes, and it seemed that they did not sleep well last night.
I also thought of how I used the water I used to wash this morning as a mirror and how energetic I looked.
As expected, I am different from others and I am an open-minded person.
"The person who announces the results is here, the person who announces the results is here." A voice suddenly rang out.
Sun Shan, who was originally not nervous, became like everyone else, looking around and raising his head to look at the list.
It’s a pity that De Ge’er is not here, otherwise with him leading the way, we would definitely be at the top of the list.
Sun Shan couldn't get in because he was short, so he stood on tiptoe and raised his head, but could only see the black head and back of a person.
After squeezing for a while, I still couldn't get in.
Sun Shan decided to give up and walk out of the crowd to avoid a stampede, from which he would certainly not be able to escape.
After waiting for a while, the tall Liang Can ran out with disheveled hair, limping on his heels.
He shouted excitedly: "Ashan, I passed, I'm 15th."
Sun Shan asked anxiously, "Brother Shen, did I pass?"
Don't just look at your own things, you have to help look after your classmates.
Liang Shen shook his head.
Sun Shan looked at him in shock. What does shaking his head mean? Did I fail?
Liang Shen said, "I didn't see yours. I only saw mine and came out. There were too many people outside. If I didn't come out, I would be squeezed out."
Sun Shan really regretted asking him, which made him feel very anxious.
I decided to find a way to get in and see the list.
Just as I was figuring out how to get in, Zheng Hongwen came out.
He looked similar to Liang Shen, limping out and shouting when he saw Sun Shan, "Ashan, I passed! I passed!"
Sun Shan still wanted to ask, "Brother Hongwen, did I pass?"
Zheng Hongwen nodded with a flushed face: "You passed, you passed, I saw your name."
Sun Shan was overjoyed. It turned out that relatives were reliable and knew how to help with grades. They were not as heartless as Liang Can and did not care about his classmates.
Sun Shan was not in a hurry to ask about the ranking. As long as he passed, it would be fine. He had to prepare well for the provincial examination when he returned.
I feel very happy and really want to sing a song.
Zheng Hongwen took a short break and finally recovered. He said happily, "Ashan, you are amazing. You are ranked second. No one in our school has ever ranked so high."
When Sun Shan heard the second place, he was stunned and instinctively asked, "Who is the first place?"
I only ranked second? Who took the top spot in the county? There are people who are better than me?
Sun Shan was quite dissatisfied with being ranked second. He would either be ranked third or first, and he was unwilling to be ranked second.
Zheng Hongwen shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of the first one either. He should be from the county school. But what does it matter if he is the first? He still can't pass the exam to become a scholar."
Sun Shan was stunned. What Zheng Hongwen said made a lot of sense.
Huangyang County has produced many top candidates over the years, but in the end they still failed to pass the examination to become a scholar.
The value of Huangyang County’s first place is zero, so people won’t care too much when they see the first place, or even if they themselves get the first place.
Even if you pass the county exam and get the top score, you will only be glorious for that day. After that, you will still be buried in the imperial examination and become unknown.
Sun Shan was cured by this result. Hehe, so what if he is the first in the county? Maybe he is even worse than me who is ranked second.
He said cheerfully, "All three of us have passed the exam, haha, we can go to the provincial examination together."
Sun Shan ranked second, Zheng Hongwen ranked tenth, and Liang Can ranked fifteenth.
Huangyang County admitted the top 20 students. So all three of them had the opportunity to take the provincial examination.
Sun Shan asked again, "How did Mr. Huang's students perform in the exam?"
Liang Can only saw his own. Zheng Hongwen looked at everyone else's and said, "I only saw one. I didn't see the other one. Maybe I made a mistake."
Sun Shan stopped talking. After the crowd slowly dispersed, Sun Shan, Zheng Hongwen, and Liang Can checked the list again.
This time, Sun Shan finally saw his ranking. He skipped the first place in the county and his name was next to him.
The two small words "Sun Shan" seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, pressing down on my heart.
Sun Shan understood that from that moment on, he had really taken the first step towards having his imperial examination results recorded.
I was excited inside but I managed to keep calm on the surface. I checked the list carefully and saw that only 20 people were admitted, so I finished looking through it quickly.
All three students from Hong's School passed, with a pass rate of 3%. Two students from Huang's School entered, but only one passed, with a pass rate of 100%.
It seems that Mr. Hong can brag to Mr. Huang for another year.
After all, Hong's School is far superior to Huang's School.
Sun Shan, Zheng Hongwen, and Liang Can walked back, Liang Can went home to report the good news. Sun Shan followed Zheng Hongwen to the bookstore.
My second brother-in-law Zheng Hongyuan asked anxiously, "Second brother, Shanzi, how did you do in the exam? Dad went to check the list and hasn't come back yet."
Zheng Hongyuan also wanted to go and see the list, but the shop had to be looked after, so he had to stay.
Zheng Hongwen said excitedly: "Brother, Shanzi and I both passed. Shanzi came in second, and I came in tenth. Shanzi is better than me."
When Zheng Hongyuan heard that his brother and brother-in-law had passed, his face was filled with joy, and he said cheerfully, "Good, good, it's good as long as they passed, it's good as long as they passed."
I breathed a long sigh of relief. My wife's brother was fine. He came out of the exam with a calm expression and was no different from usual. There was no need to worry.
My second brother Hongwen is different. He has been hanging his head these days and has trouble eating. Everyone in the family is worried.
Sun Shan smiled and said, "Second brother-in-law, let's go back to the school first. The teacher will definitely be waiting for us."
The reason for abducting him was to report the good news to his family. Now that the good news has been reported, he must go back to find Hong Xiucai.
It’s just that Zheng Dalang went to check the list, so why couldn’t I see him just now?
And they are the last ones to come back, so why haven’t we seen Zheng Dalang come back yet?
Sun Shan didn't think about it, and Zheng Hongwen also said, "Brother, let's go back and report to the teacher first."
Zheng Hongyuan nodded and said, "You go back to the school first and have lunch at home. Ah Shan, you too, come and have a meal together to celebrate. After all, it's over, so we should all have some fun."
After hearing this, Sun Shanhe and Zheng Hongwen were also happy and agreed with a smile that they would return to the Zheng family after meeting the teacher.
Master Zheng was waiting for Sun Shan and the other two to come back in the school. As for the results on the list, he already knew them.
Seeing Sun Shan and the other two, he said happily, "You three did well in the exam, and your rankings are not too bad. Keep working hard. The provincial exam will be in two months, so you must study hard during this time. Do you understand?"
Sun Shan, Zheng Hongwen, and Liang Shen nodded quickly and said, "Master, we understand."
I also talked with Mr. Hong about the content of this county examination. To sum up, it is not difficult. As long as you have a solid basic knowledge, you have a high chance of passing.
Hong Xiucai sighed and said, "It will be more difficult in the prefectural city, but not too difficult. You still have a chance to pass. Don't think too much now, study hard, and wait for the prefectural exam in April."
Sun Shan and the other two said they understood and would follow the teacher's instructions, then walked out of the study.
The three of them looked at each other, and the joy on their faces filled the entire school with happiness.
Let students see that passing the county exam will not be too difficult and be full of hope.
