Transmigrating To The Ancient Times With Lu's Convenience

Chapter 166

Chapter 166: Here Comes Long-awaited Xiao Cai

Lu Lin craned his neck and stood on tiptoe in pleasurable expectation, waiting for Chen Xiao Cai's arrival, but the great news of Ji Yun An arrived earlier than Chen Xiao Cai. Ji Yun An did great in the exam, he ranked the third in the national civil examinations!

"Ji Yun An, how impressive! This is a national exam and he ranks the third!" Lu Lin sighed with emotion.

Chen Xiao Mi smiled and said, "Ji Yun An has been very capable all along, it's you who has been worrying for nothing."

Lu Lin pouted, "Maybe this guy is just lucky."

"Luck is not something that can be found casually, you have to have talent to be this lucky," Chen Xiao Mi said.

Lu Cheng Yu seemed to have failed again.

"Ji Yun An, with his report card, he should be able to enter National Academy. He definitely has splendid prospects!" Chen Xiao Mi said.

All sorts of feelings well up in Lu Lin's mind, he was happy for Yun An and Xiao Mai, and on the other hand, he was a bit jealous, Ji Yun An would become an official of sixth-ranking in no time. He had been working hard for so many years and he was still just a county magistrate.

Ji Yun An who was going to work in National Academy had the opportunity to be appreciated by His Majesty himself. But it was hard for Lu Lin to take credit and seek rewards for himself considering the great distance between his county and the capital city.

Although it was not easy to get promoted, Lu Lin was already very satisfied with the current situation. The Fish Cabin county was far away from the capital city, so he and his family could live their lives to the fullest.

Lu Lin held his chin and said, "I'm a bit worried for Yun An and Xiao Mai, the capital city is the political center, they need to tread carefully."

Lu Lin didn't like social gatherings, so deep down he was glad that he got to live his life the way he wanted, spending time with his family and exploring the area.

Chen Xiao Mi nodded and said: "Yeah! Although the capital city is the political center, Ji Yun An should be able to handle it. Ji family is an aristocratic family, they have been holding high official positions for generations, and they will always look after him."

......

In Big Stone Village.

Lu Cheng Yu didn't pass the exam and he locked himself in his room.

"He failed yet again?"

"It's just too difficult."

"That's true! It's already an achievement that he is a Xiucai, he enjoys some tax exemption and corvee exemption already."

"Yeah! How great it's going to be if Cheng Yu sets up a school for the village kids?"

"Yeah! However, given Cheng Yu's personality, it's not going to happen!"

"Cheng Yu is too focused on his studies. Look at his two daughters, they look so thin and pale."

Li Fang Yue had finally given birth to a son two years ago. Tang had finally taken a liking to Li Fang Yue due to that. With a son, Li Fang Yue paid less attention to the two daughters. Lu Cheng Yu didn't even pay attention to his son, let alone his two daughters.

"I heard that not only has Chen Xiao Mai's husband passed the exam, but he ranks the third nationally!"

"The third? Nationally? That's amazing!"

"You're not mistaken? Are you sure?"

"How can I make a mistake? This Ji Yun An, Chen Xiao Mai's husband, passed the exam last time, he gave up on his result because he wanted a better ranking. Many people make fun of him and they called him stupid, but look how the story ends, Ji Yun An ranks the third nationally this year! Joke is on them!"
