Three days after the courtyard exam concluded, the exam results were announced. During these three days, Yingying did not disturb them, and the second lady was reassured, making food for the two at home.
The two children, who originally appeared emaciated, surprisingly regained much of their strength in just three days.
On the fourth day, everyone got up early, tidied themselves up, and prepared to see the announcement of the results.
In this courtyard exam, neither of them exerted their full effort in a tacit agreement. They even glossed over some challenging essays, merely jotting down a few personal thoughts.
However, they noted down the exam questions, planning to study and ponder on them later. They would discuss them with their teacher upon returning home.
Even though the next exam would undoubtedly have new questions, this exam's questions also posed a great learning opportunity.
