Chapter 68 The little girl is full of evil intentions
The results of the imperial examination were announced at the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall on the first day of March. On that day, more than a thousand students taking the examination gathered there.
The whole family of the general's mansion went out together again, even taking Xiaoba and Xiaojiu with them.
Before reaching the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall, the carriage had already become difficult to move and everyone had to get off.
"Dad, Mom, you and your younger brothers and sisters wait here," Bai Qing'an said with a smile, "The second brother and I will go over and take a look, and then come back to tell you the result."
How could Li Suining and others agree?
The little girl immediately pulled at Bai Qingan's sleeve and said, "Big brother, I want to go. I want to go with you."
"Brother, let's go too." Bai Shi'an, on behalf of the fifth and sixth brothers, also expressed his unwillingness to wait here. "Let our parents, eighth brother, and ninth sister wait here. We can take care of ourselves."
"Okay, let's go." Bai Yunfeng spoke first, repeatedly telling Bai Qing'an, "Keep an eye on your sister. Don't worry about those brats."
"Okay!" Bai Qing'an smiled and led a group of people forward.
He held Li Suining and walked in front, Bai Yu'an walked at the back in tacit understanding, and the fourth, fifth and sixth brothers walked in the middle.
"Big brother, are you nervous?" Little Dumpling asked with a smile.
That night, they chose not to tell the eldest brother the final result. They just said that with Master Jiang in charge, no one would do anything else, so the eldest brother could wait with peace of mind.
Over the past half month, Bai Qing'an has indeed felt at ease and calmer than any other time in the past.
He smiled and scratched the little guy's nose. "Big brother said that no matter what the result is this time, Big brother has no regrets. That's enough!"
"Big brother, you are so nice!" Little Dumpling couldn't help but hug Bai Qing'an's neck. Such a good big brother should get the best of everything.
But she soon saw the icy look in her second brother's eyes behind her, so she quickly retracted her arms and hid in her eldest brother's arms, not daring to make her second brother unhappy again.
For some reason, my second brother never liked her and never got close to her.
However, the fourth and fifth brothers said that since they could remember, the second brother was only close to medicinal herbs and was not close to them.
Finally, the group arrived at the notice announcing the results. As long as they could find their names on it, it meant they had passed the palace examination.
At this time, many people had already left after looking at the list. Some were overjoyed, some were crying bitterly, and some just kept shaking their heads and sighing.
"Let me go and see which place my eldest brother is in." Bai Shi'an was not tall enough, so he immediately led his two younger brothers and started to squeeze to the front.
Bai Qing'an and Bai Yu'an were half a head taller than most people, and they could see the names on the notice just by standing outside the crowd.
Li Suining couldn't read, so he just waited quietly.
Bai Qing'an started from the last person and became more and more nervous as he looked forward. After all, there were fewer and fewer people left, but he still didn't see his own name.
"Brother Bai!" Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded, "Congratulations, Brother Bai!"
Bai Qing'an looked to the side in confusion, and saw that it was the brothers Zuo Sixian and Zuo Jiali. At this time, both brothers had smug smiles on their faces.
Bai Qingan placed the little boy at his feet and clasped his fists to congratulate the two brothers in front of him, "It seems that both of you have passed the palace examination. Congratulations, congratulations!"
"Of course my eldest brother got in, and he came in second." Zuo Jiali said with pride.
"Congratulations, congratulations!" Bai Qing'an was secretly shocked. Obviously, he didn't expect that Zuo Sixian could get the second place in his first imperial examination. This person... is really amazing.
"Congratulations, congratulations!" Zuo Sixian said with a smile, "Brother Bai, don't you know? You're fourth!"
"Fourth place?" Bai Qing'an's eyes widened in shock. He had just seen the tenth place and had not had time to look forward. He almost thought that he had failed again.
When he heard Zuo Sixian's words, he immediately looked at the notice board again and saw that his name was ranked fourth.
"Congratulations, big brother!" Several little guys had come back a long time ago. Seeing that their big brother finally knew his ranking, they all couldn't help but be happy for him.
"Big brother, you are so awesome!" Li Suining also waved his little fists and wrinkled his nose happily.
"Haha, a mere fourth place, is there any need to be so happy?" Zuo Jiali curled his lips beside him, "Don't forget, the Crown Prince only needs one companion, and my eldest brother is second place. Obviously, the Crown Prince's companion must be my eldest brother."
Bai Shian immediately puffed out his chest and said, "You guys should not forget, this is just the result of the provincial examination. There is still the palace examination. It is not certain who will win by then."
"It's really funny. He lost the provincial examination, so how could he win the palace examination?" Zuo Jiali snorted, obviously thinking that Zuo Sixian would definitely win.
"What about you, brother?" The shortest little kid suddenly asked in a baby voice, "Brother, where are you?"
"I..." Zuo Jiali gritted his teeth, "I'm still young. If I didn't do well in the exam this time, I can try again next time."
After he said this, he realized that he had been too arrogant.
He has another chance, and so does Bai Qingan. Why does he think Bai Qingan will definitely lose next time?
Zuo Jiali realized that he had been tricked by the little girl and glared at her immediately, "You little girl, at such a young age, you are really full of evil thoughts."
"Auspicious ceremony!" Zuo Sixian spoke at the right moment. "Stop talking. No matter who gets the position of the Crown Prince's companion, it represents a heavy responsibility. How can it be used for comparison?"
He looked at Li Suining with a smile, "Sister Suining is right. Your brother still has a chance in the palace examination, but..."
He turned his gaze towards Bai Qing'an, already showing some sharpness, "But Brother Bai, you must do your best. We in the Prime Minister's Mansion don't want to win too easily!"
"Goodbye!" Zuo Sixian glanced at everyone for the last time, obviously determined to win, then turned around and strode away.
Zuo Jiali didn't forget to turn around and make a face at Li Suining, "Lululu..."
"Ugly freak, huh!" Li Suining turned his head away angrily.
"Forget it, they won't be able to be proud for many days." Bai Ruian said with a smile. Obviously, from beginning to end, he felt like he was watching a monkey show when he saw the two brothers of the Zuo family.
Bai Qingan looked over in confusion, "Why do you say that, Fifth Brother?"
"Ah?" Bai Ruian knew he had almost let something slip, so he tried to make amends. "Anyway, I believe in Big Brother. Big Brother will definitely win and give the Prime Minister's Mansion a good slap in the face, right, Fourth Brother? Sixth Brother?"
"Yes, we believe in big brother!" Bai Shian also nodded quickly.
"I believe in big brother too. As long as no one makes trouble, big brother will definitely be able to do it." Li Suining said in a baby voice.
Bai Qingan laughed, "Actually, no matter what the result is, I'm already very happy to have entered the palace examination. As for being the crown prince's companion..."
His expression grew more serious. "Zuo Sixian was right just now. This is a heavy responsibility, not a joke... There are still ten days until the palace examination. Big Brother will definitely give it his all!"
