Mu Yi'an didn't go to check the results; she was waiting at home.

Butler Li had already prepared red envelopes, confident that his young master would be among those listed.

Shao Ming and Shao Ning took Jiang Mo and Jiang Yan to see the results. Outside the examination hall, it was still bustling with people.

"Young Master, Young Master, you should wait at the teahouse. I'm going to check the results."

Jiang Mo felt that he was better than Jiang Yan, so he volunteered to squeeze into the crowd.

Jiang Shaoming did not stop him; this time, he was also eager to see the results.

Although he didn't fall ill while at the examination hall, he was still affected. It was too hot; the heat made people feel uneasy.

Soon, various sounds arose from the crowd: some were happy, some were crying, some were laughing wildly, and some even fainted.

Shao Ming was also a little nervous. He stood up and looked over there, wanting to see if Jiang Mo had come out.

"Young Master, you passed the exam! You passed the exam! You got first place! First place!"

Jiang Mo raised his hand and emerged from the crowd, running all the way over.

Her hair was all messed up, her clothes were wrinkled, and she was limping, probably because someone stepped on her.

"Jiang Mo, the young master, is he number one?"

Jiang Yan excitedly grabbed Jiang Mo's arm and asked again.

"The first place winner, I looked at it very carefully, the name and household registration match up."

Where is Shao Ning?

Jiang Shaoming hurriedly interrupted them and asked about his cousin's situation.

"Young Master Tang is not on the list."

Jiang Mo and Jiang Yan remembered that their young master had also failed the exam.

“Brother Shao Ming, I knew I wouldn’t make the list as soon as I left the examination hall.”

Shao Ning knew his own grades; he wasn't among the top in the prefectural examination, so he had no hope at all.

"Let's go home first and talk about it then."

Shao Ming sensed that more and more people were watching them, so he decided to come back first.

The group left the teahouse, boarded their own carriage, and headed home.

Mu Yi'an and the others were at home when they received the good news. They never expected that Shao Ming would get first place. It was such a surprise.

Steward Li couldn't stop smiling, but he had to force himself to keep it in check as he stuffed a thick red envelope into the handyman's hand as he delivered the good news.

In that year, thirteen-year-old Jiang Shaoming passed the imperial examination and became a young scholar.
