Chapter 130 Wen Yunhai passed the imperial examination and became a Xiucai (a successful candidate i

The prefectural examination lasted only one day. Having learned from their experience in the morning, Wen Dashan and his son didn't rush to catch the carriage when they went to pick up the examinees outside the examination hall in the afternoon. Instead, they arrived early and waited outside.

Watching the Wen Yunhai brothers walk out of the examination hall in high spirits, and then looking at the students around him with tired faces, Wen Dashan once again felt how correct Wen Yuxia's decision to have Wen Yunhai and others train their physical fitness was back then.

Wen Zibo also saw the Wen Yunhai brothers coming out of the examination hall. He raised his arms and shouted, "Yunqing, Yunhai, we're here!"

"Grandpa, Second Uncle," Wen Yunhai's smile was dazzling; it was clear he was in a good mood.

Wen Yunqing's expression was somewhat heavy, and he called out softly, "Grandpa, Dad,"

Wen Zibo took the exam baskets from the two of them and said with a smile, "The inn isn't far from here, let's walk back slowly."

Wen Dashan and the others did not stay in the prefectural city to wait for the results; they drove their mule carts out of Nanzhou Prefecture early the next morning.

The house in Xinghua Village had already been sold. The address the Wen brothers left before the exam was No. 2, Nanyi Street, Xinchuan County. Since they passed the exam, officials naturally went to their residence in the south of the city to announce the good news.

Back at his residence in the south of the city, Wen Yunhai acted as if nothing had happened, spending his days training his physical fitness in the backyard with Wen Yunjiang and the others.

Wen Yunqing would spend her days hiding in her study, lost in thought. Wen Dashan saw this and was very anxious. Before knowing the exam results, he didn't know how to comfort Wen Yunqing.

Left with no other option, Wen Dashan had to make changes to the meals. He, who never went into the kitchen before, surprisingly went there and took charge of preparing the evening's dishes.

"Aunt Lu, kill a chicken tonight and make soup with some chestnuts. Also, make a boiled fish and some fried potato shreds. Oh, and Yunqing likes sweet and sour pork ribs, so make that too..."

Wen Dashan rambled on and on, making sure Aunt Lu remembered everything before finally walking out of the kitchen with his hands behind his back.

Aunt Lu muttered as she watched Wen Dashan's retreating figure, "The sun must have risen in the west! The master actually came to the kitchen to order food himself."

The day for the results to be announced arrived in the blink of an eye. Wen Dashan was extremely anxious and instructed Lu Zhigang to keep a close eye on the yamen runners delivering the good news on the street.

Before the results were announced, the prefect would send a special envoy to deliver the list of successful candidates to each county. On the day the results were announced, the county government would send someone to the candidate's registered residence or place of residence to deliver the good news.

"They're here! They're here, sir! The procession bringing good news is here! Young Master Yunhai has passed the exam!" Lu Xiaosong, who was accompanying Lu Zhigang to watch from the gate, shouted as he ran into Wen Dashan's courtyard.

Wen Dashan quickly called his family to walk towards the front door. As they reached the door, they heard the yamen runner loudly congratulating them: "Congratulations to Wen Yunhai, a student from Xinghua Village, for ranking 168th in the imperial examination!"

Wen Yunhai exclaimed excitedly, "I won! I won!" Standing beside him, Wen Yunqing forced a smile, her voice tinged with bitterness, "Big cousin, congratulations!"

The two brothers both filled in a residence in the south of the city as their contact address. If they both passed the imperial examination at the same time, the yamen runner delivering the good news would definitely send two separate messages.

At this moment, the official who delivered the good news only said that he had passed the exam and then didn't follow up. Wen Yunhai knew that Yun Qing had failed. He gently patted Wen Yun Qing's shoulder and comforted him, "Yun Qing, don't be discouraged. If you don't pass this time, you can try again in three years."

Wen Yunqing nodded vigorously and gave a soft "Mmm".

Wen Dashan tugged at Wen Zibai's sleeve, signaling him to step forward and distribute the "lucky money" to the yamen runners. Wen Dashan had prepared the money in advance.

Wen Zibo stepped forward with a smile, gave each of the three constables who came to deliver the good news a piece of silver, and invited them inside for a cup of hot tea.

The constables patted the silver in their hands with satisfaction. The head constable declined the invitation to go in for tea, cupped his hands in a salute, and said, "I have official business to attend to and cannot stay any longer. Farewell!"

After the yamen runners left, the neighbors who had been watching the commotion at the gate came forward to offer their congratulations. Wen Dashan smiled and bowed to the neighbors standing at the gate, saying, "I will be hosting a banquet at my residence tomorrow at noon. I hope you will all do me the honor of attending."

During his time living in the mansion in the south of the city, Wen Dashan had gotten along well with his neighbors. Before leaving, he wanted to take the opportunity of Wen Yunhai passing the imperial examination to invite them to a feast.

The neighbors all said they would be there on time for the banquet tomorrow, and then turned and walked home in twos and threes.

"Second son, go back to Xinghua Village and tell the village chief, your grandparents, and them to come to the city for a feast tomorrow at noon," Wen Dashan thought for a moment and then continued, "Invite Zhang the hunter and his son, Old Lady Li and her husband, and Li Xiang and his grandson as well."

Zhang the hunter and others who fled famine with them to Xinchuan County and were settled in the same village had watched Wen Yunhai grow up. When they were about to leave, Wen Dashan suddenly wanted to have a get-together with them.

Upon learning that Wen Yunhai had passed the imperial examination and become a scholar, Steward Li rushed to the mansion in the south of the city. He respectfully said, "Master, the princess instructed me before she left that after the young master passed the imperial examination, this old servant would be responsible for arranging the banquet for the guests..."

Wen Dashan didn't stand on ceremony and directly told Steward Li the number of guests he had invited. Steward Li said with a smile, "The princess left me a guest list. I will send someone to inform them to come to the banquet tomorrow."

In the capital, Wen Yuxia received a letter from Steward Li, informing her that Wen Yunhai had passed the imperial examination and become a scholar, and that Wen Dashan and others were already on their way to the capital.

After instructing Steward Tang to prepare four courtyards, Wen Yuxia changed into men's clothing and, along with Bei Yi and Bei Er, rode away from the capital to Fancheng.

Fancheng, being a coastal city with a port, had less scarce land than the capital. It was the closest city to Beijing, requiring only two hours by carriage and even faster by horseback. Wen Yuxia and her two servants arrived in Fancheng in just over half an hour on horseback.

This time, she came to Fancheng to buy land. The mares in Xinchuan City are due to give birth soon, and she plans to build another horse farm and racetrack there.

Wen Yuxia walked ahead, holding a folding fan, followed by Bei Yi and Bei Er leading their horses. She strolled into a brokerage firm by the roadside.

The broker in the brokerage firm warmly offered her a cup of hot tea, "Young master, please have some tea."

As the saying goes, "One is influenced by one's company." Having spent too much time with Princess Wanyu lately, Wen Yuxia has completely absorbed Wanyu's arrogance and domineering nature.

While out and about, Wen Yuxia, dressed in men's clothing, suddenly decided to role-play, transforming from a refined young gentleman into an arrogant and domineering spoiled brat.

She crossed her legs and sat on the chair, picked up her teacup, smelled the aroma, and said with a slightly arrogant tone, "This young master wants to buy land. Can you introduce me to some options?"

The waiter wore a professional smile, but inwardly he was cursing that he hadn't checked the almanac before leaving home and had run into a scoundrel like Wen Yuxia.

"Young master, this is the land registered in our shop. Please take a look," the waiter said respectfully, handing over an account book with a hint of flattery in his tone.
