The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 313 Shredded Chicken Cold Noodles
When Liu Sheng rushed back to Chang'an and flew to the outside of the Imperial Examination Hall in a cloud sedan chair, it was already past noon.

The long street is still bustling, but there are not so many people anymore.

The tavern was bustling with people, and the aroma of wine and meat wafted for miles. The candidates who made the list were calling their friends and toasting to celebrate.

Those candidates who failed the exam went home early and were sad. Even if they wanted to drink alone, they would never do so here, so as not to be reminded of their past.

The newspaper writers, the concerned parents who were looking for a son-in-law or a daughter-in-law under the list, and the curious onlookers who had nothing to do but gossip, have all gone home after the excitement wore off.

Liu Sheng walked along the long street and slowly walked towards the wall where the notice was posted.

There was no one under the wall. Under the shining of the divine face in the sky, only the huge examination list hanging in the air was shining with golden light, and there was an illusion of beautifully blooming apricot blossoms on it.

After all, we already know what we need to know.

Although Liu Sheng already knew the result through messages from different people, she was still afraid that it was all a fantasy and had to confirm it herself before she could feel at ease.

On the examination list, first column, first row:
[First place, Liu Sheng, Little Green Garden]

The line of black words decorated with gold powder gradually became blurred in her eyes, as if it was about to flap its wings and fly away.

But after blinking, the words were firmly engraved on it again, shining with golden light.

No, you can't cry.

Crying is not cool.

Look carefully again, behind her is:

[Second place, Wen Xuanning, Chang'an]

[Third place, Lin Shuying, Chang'an]

[Fourth place, Gao Yisheng, Jinghu]

[Fifth place, Yu Huan, Xiushui Town]

……

[No. 200, Yan Cheng, Orange County]

Liu Sheng looked through it carefully and found that in addition to Senior Sister Lin Shuying, Zhong Youzhi, Qu Chunyan and Lu Shen were all on the list.

Wang Dongdong was barely at the bottom of the list, barely making it to the 172nd place.

Her cheap cousin Ling Yuke ranked twenty-third.

Although it's not bad, I don't know if someone as proud as her can accept it.

Another familiar figure is Jing Hao, who ranks 17th.

Liu Sheng couldn't help but sigh, it's great, everything seems to be going in a good direction.

Although she still didn't know how she failed and then passed the exam, what she saw before her eyes proved that this was not her dream.

The little tentacle gently scratched Liu Sheng's pounding heart, fearing that she would faint from a tachycardia.

【So exciting?】 The world feels a little weird.

[That's natural, the ups and downs of life are just like this?] One Liu Sheng had already burst into tears in his heart, and the cry was contagious. Many Liu Shengs cried with joy.

【And winning first place greatly satisfied human vanity.】 The world tried to understand.

Liu Sheng did not deny it either.

[Everyone has vanity, and we are no exception. ]

Liu Sheng sat at a cold noodle stall near the Imperial Examination Hall and ordered a bowl of cold noodles with shredded chicken.

It's just right to eat cold noodles on such a hot day.

It's a good time to sit down and calm down.

While waiting for the boss to make the cold noodles, Liu Sheng took out the spiritual message and sent the results to the right people.

First of all, it must be her parents who are far away in Xiaoluyuan.

My parents would probably be surprised if they knew about this, right?

I can now gain respect among my neighbors again.

However, she didn't know that she didn't need to send any message at all. The moment the notice was posted, County Magistrate Lu of Xiaoluyuan had already received the information that Xiaoluyuan had finally produced a tribute scholar, that is, someone who passed the imperial examination.

Moreover, it is still the first place.

How could this be possible? This was a great achievement during his tenure!

It should be noted that there is not a single county within a hundred miles that can produce a Gongshi. Not to mention Gongshi, even those who pass the provincial examination and go to academy are very rare.

Thinking about it this way, Master Ling and Old Liu's daughter really gave honor to Director Xiaolu!
Not only did he get admitted to the academy, but he is now preparing for the palace examination. This is incredible.

"County magistrate, not only did she win the imperial examination, she also won the provincial examination..."

Win two prizes in a row?

Incredible!

Surprised and delighted, County Magistrate Lu, who had been playing backgammon in the yamen, quickly stood up, ordered people to quickly prepare the congratulatory ceremony, and went to Guangfeng Tower in person to pay his respects with gongs and drums beating.

Early in the morning, a few scattered guests who were drinking in Guangfeng Tower suddenly heard a commotion outside the door, as well as the sounds of gongs, drums, and firecrackers. They were so confused that they didn't know what day it was and thought it was New Year's Day.

Then the county magistrate was seen entering with a big smile on his face, followed by a group of yamen officials who streamed in various gifts such as fruits, bacon, chickens, ducks, and a suckling pig.

The most important thing is a box, which is full of spiritual energy. Once opened, a box of spiritual energy is neatly placed inside.

Although the preparations were a little hasty, the yamen officials went to several houses to prepare everything, and even collected a few pieces of bacon from the yamen kitchen, and the red silk was tied crookedly.

But it’s good enough to have it. Who would have thought that the announcement of the imperial examination results would be related to Xiaoluyuan!
The idlers' throats moved up and down as they watched, and they were surprised and greedy. They thought they had drunk too much in broad daylight and thus had to dream. They reached out their hands to grab the money, but were slapped away by the officials.

More and more people crowded in from outside, beating drums and gongs to spread the word along the way, and everyone knew what was going on.

However, the villagers were simple and honest. They didn't know what Huiyuan was, nor did they know the difference between the imperial examination and the prefectural examination. But in any case, it was a great thing, otherwise the county magistrate would not have come to their house in person to congratulate him so solemnly.

This is a grand event never seen before.

The clerk called out Liu Ruhai from the kitchen, who looked confused. In his hand was a freshly boiled and plucked chicken.

Liu Ruhai said that he had not finished processing the ingredients and refused to leave, but he was still forcibly asked to leave the kitchen. If the clerk had not been respectful, he would have thought that he had committed a crime.

Originally the clerk was trying to explain something, but there was too much noise in the kitchen and he couldn't hear a word.

As soon as he stepped out of the kitchen, Liu Ruhai saw a crowd of people in the building. The noisy sound of gongs and drums never stopped, and there was a pile of congratulatory gifts wrapped in red silk placed on the ground. He was shocked and confused, and hesitated.

At this time, the county magistrate stepped forward and winked. The clerk next to him promptly snatched the featherless chicken from Liu Ruhai's hand and held it respectfully in his hands.

Then County Magistrate Lu did not mind the fishy smell in Liu Ruhai's hand, and held his hand tightly, saying solemnly: "Mr. Liu is a great talent."

Liu Ruhai looked confused.

The next sentence the county magistrate said was: "You have raised a good daughter."

"Yes... Sheng'er is really good."

Liu Ruhai agreed, but was still confused. Why did Old Lu suddenly praise his own daughter?

He is dressed so formally. He even called himself Old Liu yesterday, but today he calls himself Mr. Liu?

"Miss Liu, oh, no, Liu Huiyuan really made us proud this time!"

Liu Ruhai opened his eyes wide: "Huiyuan?"

Although he hadn't realized what it was yet, he knew it must be a remarkable achievement.

At this time, Ling Youlian was also invited to the lobby of Guangfeng Building.

"You mean, my Shengsheng got the first place in the imperial examination?" Unlike Liu Ruhai who had no interest in studying, she knew much more about the imperial examination and understood it immediately after hearing this.

County Magistrate Lu nodded in agreement.

The guests in Guangfeng Tower finally understood. They didn't expect that they would be eating food cooked by the father of this year's top scorer in the imperial examination. No wonder it tasted so good!
Ling Youlian's face turned pale, and she slowly sat down, holding onto the table and chair.

Everyone was still a little worried, but she waved her hands and said it was okay.

She covered her chest and said slowly, "Shengsheng, you finally passed the exam... Is my Shengsheng finally going to get what she wanted?"

My eyes were misty.

She knew how much Liu Sheng was looking forward to this day.

Liu Ruhai had already burst into tears, his face flushed red, he sobbed and wiped his tears with his apron, shouting: "Today is a happy event at Guangfeng Tower, I, Liu Ruhai, will treat everyone to a meal and free drinks!"

Suddenly the whole audience cheered and applauded loudly.

Ling Youlian watched from the side. Although she blamed Liu Ruhai for squandering money, she was also happy in her heart. In the end, she opened her mouth but did not stop him.

Liu Ruhai asked Li Xiaoer to invite the officials from the county government and the villagers who came to watch the fun to take a seat. The entire Guangfeng Building was packed.

He wiped his tears and nose, picked up the hairless chicken, and went into the kitchen to get busy. Several villagers who were also good at cooking also volunteered to follow him in to help.

Today is a happy day, how can Huiyuan's father be so tired?

Ling Youlian was surrounded by villagers, who all asked her for advice on how to educate children.

It is easy to understand that with Liu Ruhai's brain, Ling Youlian can play a greater role in this regard.

This day was destined to be a busy day for Liu Ruhai and Ling Youlian.

Not to mention that later even the prefect Chen of Qinghe came with officials from the government office to congratulate him. He also said that he had been quite optimistic about Liu Sheng when he met him in Qinghe, and felt that he was definitely not an ordinary person.

Ling Youlian did not pursue the truth or falsehood. She just accepted the congratulations with a smile and invited him to take a seat.

So they didn't have time to tell Liu Sheng, but in fact they already knew it.

……

The second one, out of respect for his teacher, Liu Sheng gave it to Nangong Wan.

Nangong Wan replied immediately.

But he only replied:
[Got it, prepare well for the palace examination. ]

Liu Sheng was a little disappointed.

But she didn't know that Nangong Wan naturally knew it at the first moment. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in Huaishan, she did dozens of side flips. Now she has regained her dignified and intellectual appearance and is entertaining a sloppy sword fairy who came to gossip.

The third one, of course, was sent by Liu Sheng to Wen Weilan, from whom he had not heard from for a long time.

Then there is Cuicui in Qinghe.

Wen Weilan still didn't reply, but Cuicui immediately replied happily with a series of texts.

Liu Sheng could imagine her crying and speaking incoherently with excitement.

Afterwards, she sent a message saying that she had transferred a large amount of spiritual energy to Liu Sheng so that Liu Sheng could live more comfortably in Chang'an, and that she would also come to Chang'an in a few days.

"This little girl is really generous." Liu Sheng shook his head and laughed.

As for Cuicui's coming to Chang'an, she guessed it was related to Qingyun Pavilion, but since she was busy with the imperial examinations recently, Cuicui didn't let her get involved.

Forget it, let’s put this matter aside for now.

Liu Sheng didn't plan to say anything more about other people.

You will know when you should know.

If she said it deliberately, it would seem like she was showing off.

At this time, the cold noodles with shredded chicken were served. The slightly yellow noodles were mixed with snow-white shredded chicken and cucumber, sprinkled with fried sesame seeds and crushed peanuts, mixed with mashed garlic and chili powder, and drizzled with a layer of secret sauce with rich vinegar and oil aroma, which was very appetizing.

The store also specially provides a bowl of chicken soup, the clear yellow soup is rich and fragrant.

Just right to quench your thirst.

Liu Sheng put aside the spiritual message for the time being and ate noodles first.

Climbing the mountain early in the morning is really tiring.

In order to make the plot smooth, some words have been corrected:
1. Imperial examination order: Provincial examination → Metropolitan examination → Palace examination

2. Liu Sheng won the first place in the imperial examination and was called Huiyuan. In the early days, the first place in the provincial examination was called Jieyuan.
