The announcement of the examination results was called the 'posting of the list'.
Every time the list was posted, firecracker handlers would set off their wares, while others beat gongs and drums to spread the good news.
The CRACKLE and POP of firecrackers and the CLANG of the copper gong rang out continuously.
After De'an tore off to see the results, Zhao Jing also strode toward the main gate.
But even though his head was buzzing with excitement, he hadn't lost his senses.
Just as he reached the doorway, he turned back to look at Xu Su Ying and Chen Wanqing. "Mother, Wanqing, would you like to come along?"
As for why he didn't call for Chen Song and Yao'an, Chen Song was at the government office on business, and Yao'an had returned to his private school to resume his grueling life as a student.
Xu Su Ying and Chen Wanqing both stood up and walked toward him.
"Yes, yes, yes, let's go together."
"We'll come have a look too. Let's all go together."
