When the rankings of the college entrance examination were announced, the craftsmen of the prefectural school would rush to print the red papers in different counties and run to the inns where the successful students were. There were also people who waited outside the school temple to publish the long papers and go to the students' hometowns to announce the good news. As soon as the list was posted, they would write a good news on red paper and rush to the students' homes in various counties and even their relatives' homes to set off firecrackers to announce the good news and ask for money for the wedding.
The inn where Ryan Cui was staying was full of students and students who were taking the exam. On the day of the announcement of the results, firecrackers were set off continuously, and people came running to announce the good news: "Good news! A scholar from a certain county, such and such, has been selected by the governor of Zhili as a certain scholar in the Jiachen year, and has passed the provincial examination!"
Zhao Yinglin and several other students could not wait for them to announce the good news, and rushed to the gate of the government office to see him early in the morning. Ryan Cui put aside the exam and was about to draw the illustrations for the last eleven volumes of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". These readers did not dare to delay his work, and patted their chests and said, "You draw yours, and we will copy your name when we get there. I think you have won two consecutive exams, so you must be ranked high this time, and it won't be difficult to watch."
Ethan Peng also wanted to see his results as soon as possible, so when all the students had left, he brought him a cup of tea and said, "Brother, can I go and check it for you?"
Ryan Cui smiled and said, "Now that you've finished your visit, why don't you go back to your hometown to announce the good news for me? I still have to stay in the city to wait for the re-examination, admission, and to see the Grand Master off before I can go home. Your father and Manager Ji are waiting anxiously at home."
