Shaohua is Junqing

Chapter 145

Today is the day when the results are announced. The Ministry of Rites posted the results and rankings of the Autumn Examination on the wall early on. Regardless of whether those who participated in the Autumn Examination or not, everyone gathered in the small square in front of the main gate of the Ministry of Rites. Siyu and Yan Haiyun were among them, accompanied by Caidie, Xiaoma and Xiaochuan.

There were crowds of people in front of him, and from time to time he could hear cheers or sighs. Five people, ten pairs of eyes, searched back and forth on the list for Yan Haiyun's name.

"Sir, I saw your name. It's over there, number seven!" Xiaochuan shouted excitedly.

Several people looked in the direction of his finger, and the words "Seventh place: Jinghua Yan Haiyun" were clearly visible.

"Congratulations, you have successfully entered the Spring Examination next year."

"Well, thank you. I hope I can get a good result in the next spring exam."

"It will definitely work. Mingyue?" Siyu turned around and saw Mingyue standing not far away.

"Sister Princess, Brother Xiaoyan."

"Sister Mingyue."

"Why are you here?"

"I'm here to see the results."

"You are a girl, young and you don't need to take the imperial examination. Why would you want to see the results?"

"Hey, I'm here for my second brother. He's so nervous, afraid he won't pass the exam, he doesn't even dare to come, so I'm here for him."

"So that's how it is. Have you found your second brother's name?"

"Not yet. There are too many people. I can't see it."

"It's okay, let's go to the front."

Siyu and Yan Haiyun escorted Mingyue to the front of the crowd. Their vision was indeed much wider. Mingyue's eyes swept across the list from left to right.

"I found it. He is ranked 17th. This means my second brother can participate in the Spring Examination next year."

"That's right, as long as the name is on the list, they can participate in the spring examination next year." Yan Haiyun continued.

"Congratulations, Mingyue."

"Thank you, sister. I will go back and tell my second brother. He will be very happy."

"Well, go quickly."

After saying that, Mingyue left.

"My Lady, Master Xiaoyan has successfully passed the Autumn Examination and can participate in the Spring Examination next year. This is worth celebrating. Can we have a nice meal to celebrate?"

"Good idea. Let's make an appointment to go to my gourmet restaurant tomorrow night and invite Mingyue to come along. What do you think, Mr. Xiaoyan?"

"No problem. I'm happy too."

"Then it's settled."

The next night, Siyu, Yan Haiyun and Mingyue gathered at Yumo Food Restaurant, and Su Xunxian was also pulled over.

Siyu and Mingyue can't drink, so we prepared osmanthus wine for them, and Qiulubai for Yan Haiyun and Su Xunxian.

"First of all, congratulations to Master Xiaoyan for making it onto the list and successfully passing the Autumn Examination. We would like to toast you."

Everyone picked up their glasses and stood up.

"Thank you, everyone. I'll drink first."

Then the others finished their drinks.

After everyone finished their drinks and sat down, Xiao Ma put a box on the table.

"This is the gift that His Royal Highness Prince Chen and I prepared for Young Master Xiaoyan." Siyu said.

Yan Haiyun opened the box, inside was an inkstone and two ink sticks.

"This is a red silk inkstone." There was a bit of excitement and disbelief in his tone, and it was obvious that he was a connoisseur of valuables.

"Yes, I heard from His Highness that this is one of the inkstones in his collection. He heard that Master Yan successfully passed the Autumn Examination, so he gave it to Master Yan as a gift."

"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince Chen and Princess, but this is too precious. I am unworthy of it."

"You are always so modest. If you don't accept it, you don't consider me and His Highness as friends."

"Okay, I'll accept it."

"now it's right."

"Alas, the prince and the princess are different. They are generous and can easily take out a valuable inkstone. I can't compare with them."

"What did Mr. Su bring?"

Su Xunxian took out a long box from his arms and handed it to Yan Haiyun. He took it and opened it, revealing a brush.

"It's a purple-hair brush. It's bright and smooth in color. It's a top-quality brush." ​​Yan Haiyun said in surprise.

"Have a vision."

"As far as I know, the purple hair is made from the hair on the neck and back of a wild rabbit. It gets its name from its black and purple color." Siyu said.

"That's right. Rabbit hair is tough, long and sharp. It is suitable for writing straight and square characters. It has always been valued by calligraphers." Su Xunxian added.

"Thank you, Master Su."

"Whether it's the inkstone sent by me and Your Highness, or the purple brush sent by Mr. Su, they are all for you to study well and study with peace of mind, so that you can win a good ranking next year. Since we are friends, there is no need for so many formalities. It's so tiring!"

"The princess is right."

"Brother Xiaoyan, I am still a child. I don't have those things that Sister Princess and Brother Su have. This is the purse I embroidered by myself. I'm giving it to you, brother."

"Thank you, Sister Mingyue." Yan Haiyun took the purse, put it carefully in his arms, and smiled at Mingyue with eyes full of doting.

"Okay, the gifts have been delivered, let's start eating. We must come here with joy today and leave with joy."

"Then I won't be polite." Mingyue picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth. "It smells so good and tastes so good. No wonder my sister's food store is doing so well."

"Eat more if you like. Whenever you want to eat, just come."

Several people tasted the food, talked and laughed, and were very happy.
