This congratulations made Chen Xi slightly surprised. He blinked his eyes and asked strangely: "Young Master Wu, you suddenly have no reason to congratulate you, but you don't know where this joy comes from?"

Wu Shengyu showed an indescribable smile on his face and shook his head slightly: "Of course, Mr. Chen must verify this matter by himself. He stayed in the capital city for many days. After posting the case, he had to rush back to Qingliu County. He could no longer talk to Mr. Chen and say goodbye."

Although Wu Shengyu did not say it very clearly, his meaning was clear. Obviously, Chen Xi's ranking in this palace examination was very high.

Chen Xi was a little curious and joined Su Tongyi in front of the government office. At this time, the candidates outside the government office pointed at Chen Xi whenever they saw Chen Xi. They only realized what was going on after Chen Xi went up and saw it.

There are two circles of people on the table, twenty inner circle and thirty outer circle. And at the right position of the inner circle, someone’s name is slightly raised, which is his name of Chen Xi.

This means that in this palace examination, Chen Xi got the position of the head of the case.

Chen Xi was not happy when he saw this, but instead had a bitter smile on his face.

The gun shot out the forest bird

Chen Xi looked down and the second place was Wu Shengyu who said "congratulations" to him just now, while the third place was Su Tong who was watching the long case with Chen Xiyi.

After seeing that his name was listed in Shen Xi and Wu Shengyu, Su Tong couldn't help but shake his head slightly, but he seemed to have known the result for a long time. After sighing, he smiled and bowed to Chen Xi, "Brother Shen is ranked first in the case, which is a joyful congratulations. No wonder Mr. Wu also said sourly and congratulated me."

When the incident occurred in the first round of the Mansion Examination, Su Tong showed disdain for Wu Shengyu, but in the end Wu Shengyu directly took the second place in the Mansion Examination, and the ranking was still above his favorite, so Su Tong's tone was very unfair.

Chen Xi didn't care and replied, "Happy together."

After all, they are all candidates of the same class. The names are listed on the long case, so there must be no social interaction in the future.

After seeing the long case, Su Tong was disappointed and Chen Xi couldn't be happy.

Su Tong felt embarrassed because he ranked after Shen Xi and Wu Shengyu. After all, Chen Xi and Wu Shengyu are the most twenty-year-old candidates in this class. He was disappointed that he failed the two young boys.

Chen Xi found that after being listed as the leader of the case, the strange look that others cast was not admiration or jealousy, but suspicion.

There were rumors before that Chen Xi was able to pass the palace examination because Hui Niang stuffed money to the government. Now Shen Xi is listed as the top of the case, which is equivalent to being forcibly pushed to the forefront. Outsiders may even fabricate some lies.

"Brother Shen, why not be the one who works for me. How about we go to the restaurant for a celebration banquet at noon?" Su Tong quickly showed his demeanor after a brief loss and invited Chen Xi.

Chen Xi remembered that the candidate who was in the teahouse just now asked Su Tong to have a drink. If he went with him, those people would definitely not welcome him. It was purely self-indulgent.

Chen Xi bowed and said goodbye: "I am still in a hurry to notify my family of good news, so I can't accompany you. Brother Su. I will get together again if I have the chance in the future."

Su Tong nodded: "Okay."

The two of them said goodbye formally, and Chen Xi hurried home.

Su Tong reminded him to be careful before, but he didn't care, but now that he has won the case, he has to be more careful. Those candidates who were furious because they failed the examination in the government did not have the courage to complain to the provincial capital. But it is possible that they would be pissed off on him.

Chenxi did not walk on the street, but walked through the streets and alleys to carry the small paths. He also paid attention to whether anyone followed him on the road.

Chen Xi was somewhat stubborn and hid several times and confirmed that there was no one. He went to the back door of the pharmacy in panic and reached out to knock on the door.

"Open the door." Chen Xi shouted.

"It's Brother Chen Xi who is back." Lu Xier's voice came first, and soon Ning'er came over and opened the door.

Chen Xilu came back from trotting, panting, and after entering the door, he found a small stool to sit down and rest.

At this time, Zhou, with a big belly, walked out with Hui Niang's support: "Why don't you walk through the front door and the back door, and you still look like this?"

Chen Xi coughed twice before he said helplessly: "I'm afraid that someone will follow me, which will be bad for me."

Hui Niang turned her eyes blank and Chen Xi said, "We are all waiting for your results in the exam. You are good, you are playing hide-and-seek. What is the final result?"

Chen Xi said with a bitter face: "The head of the case."

"Case leader? Isn't that the first one?" Hui Niang reacted and then laughed silently, "Xiao Lang, did you hear that right? Are you saying that you took the case leader yourself?"

Chen Xi nodded.

Hui Niang and Zhou were in surprise. Zhou was so excited that she was extremely happy and sad, and her stomach began to hurt again. Hui Niang quickly helped her sit down and waved to Ning'er: "Why don't you go inside and call out Sister Yun'er?"

Xie Yuner came out after hearing the news and asked about the situation. She was also happy for Chen Xi. But after taking Zhou's pulse, her face was filled with worry: "It seems that this is going to give birth."

Hui Niang asked in surprise: "No, the amniotic fluid has not been broken yet."

Xie Yuner is very skilled in medical skills and looks serious: "The time should be over. Hurry up and help her sister inside and ask Ning'er and the others to burn hot water."

Hui Niang was a little panicked now. She had rushed back from the Chamber of Commerce to ask Chen Xi about her achievements, but she didn't expect that something happened. Chen Xi had just obtained the case, and Zhou Yi was happy that even the delivery period was several days earlier.

When Zhou gave birth, the shop could no longer open. Hui Niang quickly asked Chen Xi to write a notice saying "The owner is happy" and asked Xiu'er to go out and post it. Then she ordered the preparation of the guys to deliver Zhou's birth. The water basin, hot water, towels and scissors are all necessary.

Although Xie Yuner is a doctor, she has no experience in delivering birth. At present, she can only provide "technical reference" rather than specific details, so she still has to invite a midwife.

The backyard of the pharmacy shop was chaotic, and the water was boiled, and the store was closed. The maids didn't know where the midwife lived, so Hui Niang had to go there in person. As for Shen Mingjun's side, someone would also ask for notification.

Xie Yun'er stayed in front of the bed and kept paying attention to Zhou's physical condition. Several maids were busy cutting out some worn-out clothes, and then boiled them in boiling water, which would be useful for a while.

As for the baby cloth, Zhou had already prepared it and needed to find someone to go to the Shen family to get it.

Chen Xi wanted to go into the house to help, but she was driven out by Xie Yun'er. Xie Yun'er glared at him and said, "This is not a place for children to come."

In this way, Chen Xi could only stand up with two little loli, sit side by side on the bench in the yard, watching his family busy, and sighed: "Mom."

Zhou's childbirth was a bit special. The pain was particularly strong at the beginning. The sounds made in the room seemed to be slaughtering a pig.

Soon Hui Niang invited the midwife, and the two got up and entered the room. The intensity of Zhou's screaming inside increased.

Because Zhou did not give birth on the second floor this time, but was in the room of a few maids in the backyard, only separated from the yard by a door. The sound was too strong, even Lu Xier and Lin Dai couldn't help but cover their ears with horror. For them, this sound was like an extremely terrifying incident was happening in the room.

As the hot water was boiling, Shen Mingjun rushed back to get the news. Just as Shen Mingjun was about to step into the yard, he suddenly realized that there were women in the yard, so he couldn't help but shrink his feet back. The more miserable Zhou's shouts inside, the more worried he was, but even if he was worried, he could only wait for the news outside the back door.

"Dad, why are you still sticking to these things at this time? Just go into the yard and wait. Otherwise, what will you look like when you walk outside the back door?" Chen Xi went over and pulled Shen Mingjun.

Shen Mingjun hesitated on his face, but saw Hui Niang coming out of the room. He nodded to him, then scratched his head and walked into the backyard with a little embarrassed.

Hui Niang came over with anxiety and said to Shen Mingjun: "Wen Po said that my sister's situation this time is a bit special, and it is likely to be difficult to give birth. Let the family be mentally prepared."

Shen Mingjun was panicked when he heard this: "He'er is no longer the first child, how could this be?"

Excited, Shen Mingjun called Zhou's boudoir name again.

Usually, women usually give birth the most difficult to give birth, and it is very easy to give birth. However, when the first birth is born, the later rebirth will generally go smoothly. It is rare for a second child like Zhou to have difficulty giving birth. This can only be explained by the fact that Zhou has not given birth in recent years, and the interval between the first and second child is too long.

Hui Niang shook her head. She still had to go back to take care of the situation inside and could not stay.

When Hui Niang turned around and returned to the room, Chen Xi wanted to let her father sit down and wait, but seeing Shen Mingjun's at a loss, he knew that Shen Mingjun could not sit still at all at this time.

Listening to Zhou's screaming in pain, Lin Dai also panicked, pulling Chen Xi's arm and nervously said, "Will she have something to do?"

Chen Xi shook his head and showed a comforting smile to Lin Dai.

In fact, Chen Xi herself was not sure, but logically speaking, there was a midwife and a goddess doctor Xie Yuner who was so skillful, so there shouldn't be too big of a problem.

After half an hour, Zhou shouted so hard that his voice was hoarse, but there was still no news inside.

Shen Mingjun cried with a sad face. The thing he feared the most was that Hui Niang came out and asked him: "Should the big or the small." He would not choose at this time.

Chen Xi was a little impatient. While Lu'er was carrying water inside, Chen Xi followed him into the room. Before he could get close to the bed, Hui Niang came up to cover Chen Xi's eyes and pushed him out: "You are still young, and even if you grow up, you can't go to such a place."

Chen Xi really wants to say, what is this scene? I have seen it even the biggest scene.

But he was not as strong as Hui Niang and was pushed into the yard.

"Auntie, I want to go in and help. Do you know I know how to acupuncture, or can I help my mother?" Chen Xi said anxiously.

Hui Niang shook her head and said, "Your Aunt Xie is inside, your mother will be fine."

Chen Xi nodded fortunately, although Zhou was dysfunctional, he did not bleed heavily, which means that the situation had not yet developed to the worst.

Chen Xi could only sit down and wait again.

After another half an hour, a baby's cry finally came from inside. The loud cry made Shen Mingjun and his son's hearts finally let go.

"It's a daughter." Hui Niang walked out, her face slightly complicated. After all, Zhou had said more than once that what she and Shen Mingjun wanted was her son.

Just after Shen Mingjun was surprised, his face suddenly became dim, and Hui Niang added another sentence, "Don't worry, brother-in-law, there is still a little in my sister's belly."
