Chapter 134 High School
Since that day, Cheng Jingzhou and Xie Rongzhao have clearly noticed that the relationship between them and Zhao Yue has become closer, or in other words, Zhao Yue has become more casual when talking to them, at least he no longer put on an official air.

After Xie Xiuwen dealt with the matter of adoption, he thought he had to rush back to Fucheng. The day for the release of the rankings was approaching, and he felt uneasy if he didn't go there.

Grandma Xie originally wanted to let him stay at home for a few more days, so that even if he won the exam, he would miss the Luming Banquet in Fucheng, at least not let him make too many friends, let alone show his talent in front of the nobles.

Unexpectedly, the old man had already left before she could speak.

Only then did Grandma Xie realize that she and her son seemed to be getting farther and farther apart.

Xie Xiuwen went back to Fucheng this time, still bringing Douzi and Xiezhou with him.

The day before the announcement of the list, Zhao Yue came to visit Xie Rongzhao again, and happened to meet Xie Xiuwen.

Xie Xiuwen only heard his daughter and Cheng Jingzhou mention this person, but never thought that they would meet at this time.

"I have met Mr. Zhao."

"Xie Xiucai doesn't need to be too polite. The list will be released tomorrow. Maybe I have to change my name and call you to thank Juren."

Xie Xiuwen's expression remained the same: "Thank you for your kind words."

Xie Xiuwen already knew what happened that day, and once again refreshed his knowledge about his daughter's good luck, he had to admit that the current little boy is his lucky star.

"Babe, I will always be grateful for saving me once. I don't know if she has discussed it with you. How can I repay you?"

"Don't dare. I only heard Guaibao mention this matter yesterday. To tell you the truth, the student discussed it with her, and it was originally an unintentional move by her. Besides, your lord is very skilled, and a mere hidden weapon may not be able to hurt you. There is no need to mention this matter again."

Zhao Yue raised his eyebrows: "Xie Xiucai thinks the young master's life is not worth mentioning, or does he think that the reward given by the young master is not enough for this life-saving grace?"

This is a bit heavy.

Xie Xiuwen's face changed slightly, and he quickly saluted: "Students dare not! Please forgive me, sir."

"Hmph! That's all right, don't refuse any more. The young master is the prestige Hou Shizi. I think Xie Xiucai knows it too. I can owe you this kindness first. When you go to Beijing in the future, the young master will definitely protect you."

The implication is that when you arrive in the capital in the future, I will protect you as a repayment for saving your life.

Xie Xiuwen was at a loss for words for a while, if he refused again, this master might really get angry.

The next day when the list was released, Cheng Jingzhou sent Chang Sheng and Douzi to watch the list, while the others sat nervously under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard and waited.

Xie Rong Zhaodian was in Xie Xiuwen's arms: "Don't worry, father, I will definitely win this time."

Xie Rongzhao's words were not to comfort him, but she was thinking about her real 60 taels of silver, but she must win, otherwise, she would not be happy if she gave it to others for nothing.

"Father, I have always been lucky. You forgot that I kissed you specially before and prepared something for you to enter the tribute court. This time I will definitely have a good grade. You just wait for the messenger to announce the good news."

Xie Xiuwen touched his daughter's head, his expression relaxed a lot.

Cheng Jingzhou was still young after all, no matter how calm he was usually, he was a little anxious at this moment.

He sat for a while, and then began to walk back and forth in the courtyard, and from time to time, he would go to the door to check his head. It can be said that he almost had the word anxious written on his face.

Soon, Changsheng and Douzi ran back one after the other, their faces were beaming.

"Congratulations, young master, you have won!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Xie, you have won the first place!"

The voices of the two sounded in tandem, and most of the words overlapped, so that few people could not hear clearly.

"Don't worry, say it alone."

Cheng Jingzhou's eyes are burning hot now, and from their expressions, one can tell that he has been hit.

"Young Master, Mr. Xie won the first place, it's Xie Yuangong!"

Chang Sheng spoke crisply and explained the words clearly.

Everyone was a little surprised.

Xie Xiuwen also felt that it was unlikely, he was sure of winning, but he was not sure of winning Jieyuan.

He originally thought that his best result should be in the top ten. As for the number, he really didn't dare to guess randomly.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the first name!
For a moment, Xie Xiuwen really felt that he might have been favored by Guaibao, she must have given him good luck, otherwise, how could he have won Xiexiu so easily?
He still remembered that when he silently uttered both the answer and the article, Xu Shanchang also said that his article was too sharp. Today's Governor-in-Chief doesn't like such sharp views, but the article is well written, and there is no problem in winning the exam. If it goes well, he should be able to enter the top ten.

Why is it now Jieyuan?

In terms of ranking this time, there is really a bit of luck in it.

When the governor reviewed the papers this time, he really felt that Xie Xiuwen's article was too sharp. He originally wanted to sentence him to No. 8, but the officials sent by the state government and the Ministry of Rites thought his article was very well written.

It was a coincidence that the officials sent by the Ministry of Rites this time happened to be loyal to the emperor. Now that the emperor is vigorously rectifying the administration of officials and the people's livelihood, he naturally likes this kind of energetic young talent, hoping that he can assist the emperor to do something drastic in the future.

As a result, Xie Xiuwen's article was pushed to the No.1 position.

The chief examiners of the Ministry of Rites who are in charge of scientific examinations all feel that they should be the first, and it is useless for the governor to dislike it.

Several other examiners had no objection, after all, this beautiful article alone is enough to make people admire.

Xie Xiuwen hadn't fully accepted the news here, but someone outside cheered and came over to announce the good news.

Both Changsheng and Douzi also remembered that there were still firecrackers not set off, so they immediately went to open the gate of the courtyard to let the officials who announced the good news come in first.

Xie Xiuwen thanked him, and sent out the purse he had prepared, and the two officials continued to inform the other candidates with a happy smile.

Xie Rongzhao and Cheng Jingzhou whispered to each other.

"Brother Jingzhou, when are we going to exchange money?"

The corner of Cheng Jingzhou's mouth twitched, and there were probably no more than three people in the whole prefecture who bet on Xie Xiuwen's Xie Yuan. This time the banker might not be able to pay so easily.

Fortunately, they are not without a background to rely on!
So, later that day, the two of them gave the bill to a guard next to Zhao Yue, and he came forward to exchange the money.

Xie Xiuwen knew about Yuan, and Xie Rongzhao could get a 50 taels for the lottery, and another 450 taels for the lottery, so it's really a lot of money!

"Great, this time daddy has all the money for going to the capital to catch the exam."

Cheng Jingzhou was puzzled: "Don't you have 1000 taels of banknotes in your hand?"

Xie Rongzhao curled his lips: "There are only 900 taels left, did you forget to deduct 100 taels? This is the last life-saving money. When we arrive in the capital, we have to find a way to help my mother find a profitable job."
