The imperial examination consisted of three stages: the provincial examination, the metropolitan examination, and the palace examination.
Before the formal imperial examinations, one had to pass the preliminary examination to obtain the qualification of a scholar.
The preliminary examinations for children were divided into three stages: county examination, prefectural examination, and provincial examination.
A student who passes the final provincial examination can be called a scholar.
A scholar who passed the provincial examination was called a "Juren" (a successful candidate in the provincial examination).
After passing the provincial examination, one can participate in the metropolitan examination.
Those who pass the exam can become tribute students.
The first place winner is called the Huiyuan.
After becoming a tribute student, one can participate in the highest level of the imperial examination.
This refers to the palace examination, which was personally supervised by the emperor.
In fact, the palace examination usually doesn't eliminate people; it's just that the emperor will reconsider and rank them.
As the results were about to be released, a tense atmosphere of discussion was palpable throughout Kyoto.
Let's not talk about the test takers, but their family members or friends.
At this moment, I am filled with either anxiety or anticipation.
For example, a heated discussion is taking place right now in the Si Nanbo residence.
Although there wasn't actually a single person in their household who took the imperial examinations.
However, there was a gentleman named Su Yu who participated in the imperial examination.
Liu Ruyu smiled broadly, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.
"The results of the imperial examinations should be released tomorrow, right?"
Liu Ruyu had no doubt that Mr. Su would be on the list.
That's a certainty.
She was just curious.
I wonder where Mr. Su will be on the list?
Top three?
No, it should be first place, right?
Liu Ruyu's eyes began to sparkle as she imagined things further into the future.
When the time comes to participate in the palace examination, Mr. Su's literary talent will once again amaze His Majesty.
Let's make another top scholar.
Oh dear, then Sizhe will be the top scholar's student!
Si Nanbo Fan Jianwei was slightly surprised.
When did you become so concerned about the imperial examinations, Madam?
They even know the exact date the results will be released.
She used to just manage the household and chat with the ladies of various households over tea.
They wouldn't care about things like studying or becoming an official.
But after thinking about it, I understood.
Su Yu participated in the imperial examination, and he was also Sizhe's teacher.
Naturally, I'm concerned about Su Yu's performance in the imperial examinations.
By the way, Su Yu hasn't been out drinking in a long time either.
The results will be released tomorrow; we'll wait for them to come out.
Let's call him out for a drink to celebrate.
With this kid's literary talent, passing the exam is a certainty.
It's a pity that I have to attend court tomorrow and can't go with them.
Fan Jian glanced at Liu Ruyu and smiled.
"Correct."
"Take the two children to see it tomorrow."
He knew that his wife definitely wanted to join in the fun.
As for Versace and Ruoruo, they need not be mentioned at all.
Even if I don't say it, I'll still rush over to see it tomorrow.
Sure enough, they heard that their father had personally told them to go and see the list.
The two little ones were overjoyed.
The chubby boy, Versace, rubbed his hands together excitedly.
"really?"
Without waiting for his father's reply.
Fan Sizhe then looked at his mother, Liu Ruyu, and Ruoruo.
"Yeah."
"Mother, and sister, shall we set off earlier tomorrow?"
"Let's go to the Su residence first and call Mr. Su to come along."
Liu Ruyu smiled slightly and nodded.
"Ah."
He glanced at Versace, a hint of tenderness appearing in his eyes.
Sizhe has really grown up a bit now.
That was genuine respect and concern for Mr. Su.
Good, really good.
Ruoruo was also very happy to hear what her father had just said.
In the past few days at the clinic, she has heard many people discussing the release of the imperial examination results.

She was also very much looking forward to seeing the results of her husband's imperial examination.
After all, the teacher has studied diligently for many years, and his future depends on tomorrow.
And when Versace said that they should set off early tomorrow, he was surprised.
Go to the Su residence to find Mr. Su.
Ruoruo immediately nodded happily.
"it is good."
On such an important day, the list of 893964 is so important. (460)
Of course, I'll go see it with my husband.
So the three of them unanimously agreed on the time to leave the mansion the next day.
After dinner, before everyone went back to their rooms.
Ruoruo even threatened Versace with her eyes.
"If you dare to stay in bed late tomorrow, you'll be punished with ten strokes of the cane!"
The chubby boy shivered and nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice.
"understood."
Day two.
Su Yu had just finished breakfast and was instructing his servants to prepare the carriage for departure.
The Fan family of three had already arrived at the gate of Su Yu's residence in a carriage.
"gentlemen!"
"We've come to see the rankings!"
The chubby boy, Versace, waved excitedly into the courtyard and shouted loudly.
Ruoruo's lips were slightly upturned, her face full of joy.
Second Madam Liu Ruyu glanced at her loud and boisterous son with some disdain.
He then peeked out slightly, smiled at Su Yu, and gave her a look.
"Sir, you are sure to pass the imperial examination today."
"Let's go join in the fun and share in the joy."
Su Yu smiled slightly and nodded.
"Ah."
So the four people, in two carriages, headed to the examination hall at the same time.
The carriage had just arrived near the examination hall when Su Yu lifted the curtain and took a peek.
The place where the results were posted was already packed with people.
The carriages were parked one after another.
The scholars, their families, and the onlookers.

At this moment, the small area in front of the examination hall was completely surrounded by people.
