"It's not too late to get to know each other now." Yang Lin said.
"It just so happens that after the imperial examination is over, Yang will host a banquet at Baixiang Tower to entertain all the students. I wonder if I would have the honor to invite Master Xiao Jiang?"
[You're truly wealthy! How much money would it cost to invite all the students?]
As expected of the son of the richest man in Jiangnan, he really spends money like water.
[This banquet seems to be the same one where Tang Yi got drunk and said something wrong. I really want to join in the fun.]
Jiang Qingwan didn't want to miss any of the highlights in the book.
Jiang Chuyuan, who originally wanted to refuse, nodded in agreement after hearing that Tang Yi would get into trouble at the banquet.
"Okay, Jiang will be waiting for you to come out."
"Okay, then let's go to the examination room first."
Seeing that the time was almost up, Tang Yi entered the examination room with Yang Lin.
Looking at so many students, just to compete for those dozens of Jinshi places.
It is much more difficult for them to get into high school than the modern college entrance examination.
Jiang Qingwan suddenly felt that it was not that difficult for them to become gods.
At the very least, the gods compete with each other on real talent and knowledge, which cannot be faked and there are no shortcuts.
The imperial examination system seemed fair, but there were too many manipulations behind the scenes. It was difficult for poor people with no background to succeed.
They can only succeed by working a thousand times harder than those rich kids.
Just as they turned to leave, they saw Jiang Yilan.
Jiang Yilang also took part in this imperial examination. Jiang Qingwan didn't remember whether he passed or not, but given his talent, it was highly likely that he would not pass.
The only person who came to see him off was Liu. As for his pregnant wife Liu Xier, she was nowhere to be seen.
[Jiang Yilang is studying hard for his exams in there, while Liu Xier is probably having a tryst with that servant.]
After observing for these days, she has confirmed that Liu Xier, like in her previous life, could not stand the loneliness and had secret meetings with the servants in the mansion.
In their previous life, they didn’t discover this until their brother died and Liu Xier ran away.
This time, I don’t know how long Liu Xier will keep it a secret.
Jiang Chuyuan didn't want to get too close to the eldest wife, so he hugged Jiang Qingwan and left without saying goodbye to them.
Liu looked at their backs, sighed, and turned back to give them some instructions.
"Lang'er, you must work hard this time to get the top spot and surpass Jiang Chuyuan."
Hearing this, Jiang Yilang was speechless. "Mom, do you think the top scholar is a cabbage on the ground that can be picked up at will?"
Jiang Yilang still knew whether he had the ability or not.
Besides, even if he was really lucky and passed the exam with the top scorer, he would still not be as good as Jiang Chuyuan.
He is the youngest number one scholar in history, and I am older than him.
"I haven't taken the exam yet, so I can't say such discouraging words."
Liu was dissatisfied. How could he encourage others and destroy his own prestige?
She placed all her hopes on her son.
"Okay, okay, I should go in."
Jiang Yilang said impatiently, "I don't want to listen to her nagging anymore," and turned around and walked into the examination room.
Watching him walk into the examination room, Liu hurriedly bowed to the sky, praying for blessings for Jiang Yilang to pass the exam.
For the students taking the spring examination, the three days are very difficult to endure, but for people outside, they are fleeting.
In the blink of an eye, three days were over.
Almost everyone who walked out of the examination room was exhausted, and some even fainted.
Tang Yi, who had been a source of concern because of his injury, now looked refreshed and more confident and relaxed than before entering the examination room.
"Why are you all here?"
Tang Yi saw that everyone from the second branch of the Jiang family came to pick him up.
He felt warm in his heart.
How could he deserve such care from the Jiang family?
They really treat themselves as a relative.
And he had no other motives. Although he was a little proud and arrogant, he was not stupid.
Most of the people who approached him were because of his fame. Some wanted to ask him to paint for them, and some wanted to use him to enhance their own fame.
The Jiang family treated him sincerely. No matter whether it was General Jiang Weizhen or the young top scholar Jiang Chuyuan, they really treated him as a family member.
They are the best people to you besides your parents.
"The exams are finally over. We came to pick you up and take you to Zuixianlou for a big meal and to relax."
Yu Shulan said that she originally wanted to arrange it at home, but Jiang Yilan also participated in the competition.
If we only celebrate for Tang Yi, the first wife will inevitably cause trouble again.
So they ate outside and then went back.
"Let's go, we have to have a couple of drinks today." Jiang Dingbei walked up to him and put his arms around his neck, acting like a good brother.
Wanwan said that they were allies who fought side by side in their previous life.
He is his own military advisor and deputy general.
Therefore, Jiang Dingbei also intends to cultivate a tacit understanding between the two. Although they will not walk the same path as in their previous lives, he also looks forward to the day when they can fight side by side again.
"Then I won't be polite to you."
Knowing that everyone in the Jiang family was straightforward, Tang Yi didn't hesitate.
After eating cold steamed buns in the examination room for three days, he was already very hungry.
"Let's go."
"Brother Tang."
Just as they were about to leave, Yang Lin appeared again.
Like Tang Yi, he did not look haggard at all. Instead, he was smiling happily, as if he had already made it to the list.
"Brother Yang, I was just looking for you. How did you do on the exam?"
Tang Yi cares about him very much. The two of them came all the way from Jiangnan, so we can be considered brothers who have shared hardships.
Moreover, as the son of the richest man, Yang Lin took good care of him along the way.
"Well enough."
Yang Lin smiled and said, "Brother Tang, I don't need to ask. It must be easy for you, right?"
"Haha, I'm not that great." Tang Yi waved his hand modestly.
"Anyway, I've answered all the questions I need to. As for the outcome, I'll just leave it to fate."
Having said that, Tang Yi was very confident and satisfied with his answer.
"Yes, the Spring Examination has come to an end. Brother Tang, would you like to have dinner with us?"
Yang Lin pointed at the students behind him.
"No, I want to go with Brother Jiang and the others, just once."
After hearing his words, Yang Lin noticed that Jiang Chuyuan had arrived.
Seeing the middle-aged couple standing next to him, he quickly realized that they were General Jiang and his wife.
He quickly saluted them, feeling very surprised.
He thought that Tang Yi had a good relationship with the Jiang family only because he caught Jiang Chuyuan's eye and saved the eldest princess, so the Jiang family treated him better.
Unexpectedly, even General Jiang came to pick him up. This showed that Tang Yi was too important.
Although he didn't understand, he didn't dare to ask directly.
He quickly said, "Then we won't bother Brother Tang anymore. We'll leave first."
Tang Yi nodded and said goodbye to them.
