Chapter 203 204 Bai Shi's grades are as if she is going to take the top spot in the imperial examination (
second update)
Bai Qiming knew that Song Min was extremely outstanding.
Not only in academics, but also in finance. In addition, Song Min's grandfather was from Jiangjing, and he had different resources from Beicheng since he was a child.
He has told Bai Shaoqi more than once that she was unlucky this year and met Song Min.
The principal of Beicheng No. 1 Middle School naturally thought of Bai Shi.
Since there was no joint examination, they didn't know Bai Shi's specific grades. Song Min made great progress, but they didn't know how Bai Shi had progressed. "I hope our No. 1 Middle School can win the title of provincial top scholar again."
Bai Qiming felt that the principal and the head teacher had something else to say, but he didn't think much about it.
As long as he was sure that Bai Shaoqi could go to Jiangjing University, he sent the two away after dinner. After returning to the Bai family, he told the Bai family clan members the good news.
"I said that these two brothers and sisters could do it," the clan uncle has always been very majestic in the Bai family, "I will notify the people in the village immediately. After the college entrance examination results are out, we will open the ancestral hall to celebrate."
The clan members basically do not open the ancestral hall except during the Chinese New Year.
Last year, after Bai Shaoke passed the provincial examination and became the top scholar, the ancestral hall was opened for him once, but the side doors were opened. The middle door is not easily opened unless there is a major contribution.
This is the busiest time for the Bai family clan in the past two years.
When Bai Qiming talked to the clan members, he could not hide his pride on his usually cold face.
No one can refuse to bring honor to the family.

June 1st, Saturday.
Bai Di and Ning Xiao were preparing for the college entrance examination, and No. 1 Middle School didn't have a holiday, so she didn't come to see Zhang Shize today.
Jiang Fuli brought Chi Yundai with him.
Without Bai Di, he was even more aloof, and the two prison guards didn't dare to approach him.
As soon as Chi Yundai, who was standing next to him, came in, his face automatically changed to a "I'll send you to prison for ten years" look.
After sending the two to the meeting room, the prison guards looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
Inside the room.
Zhang Shize had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw Jiang Fuli and Chi Yundai, he was stunned for a moment before standing up and said in a muffled voice, "Brother Jiang, Teacher Chi."
Chi Yundai threw the key to Zhang Shize.
Zhang Shize lowered his head and used the key to unlock the handcuffs.
Chi Yundai took a glance and said, "You are quite skilled."
Zhang Shize put down the handcuffs, loosened his hands, and followed Jiang Fuli to learn for a while. Bai Di was not around, and Jiang Fuli had limited patience with him.
He Wen would be scolded if he made a mistake in front of Jiang Fuli. He sat opposite Zhang Shize, with the cuffs of his white shirt rolled up in two places, and his delicate eyebrows were covered with a layer of frost. "You are the only one who wants to apply to the School of Political Science and Law?"
Chi Yundai watched from the side for a while, and his eyebrows jumped. "Young Master Jiang, I'll do it."
Jiang Fuli stretched out his hand and pulled his collar, then stood up coldly.
An hour later, Chi Yundai asked calmly, "Do you mind staying in prison for another ten years?"
Zhang Shize: "..."
Without Bai Wei, it would be fine if senior He Wen was here, but why did two living Yan Wang come today?
The long investigation finally came to an end.
Zhang Shize would rather go back and stay in prison for another ten days. Before leaving, Jiang Fuli handed two things to Zhang Shize.
Zhang Shize took them and looked at them.
First, open the red banner. "What is this?"
He said as he opened it, and soon saw the words on it -
[Take a photo with Zhang Shize (a good man)]
Zhang Shize: "..."
Only then did he look at another thing, which was a photo of Bai Xi and the others taking the banner with him. He looked at the photo and suddenly remembered, "It's graduation time, and they have taken graduation photos."
He carefully put the photo away, as if he also participated in this graduation photo from a distance.
"By the way, Brother Jiang." Zhang Shize took out another letter in his hand and handed it to Jiang Fuli, "You ask Sister Xi to give it to Mother Lu when the time comes."
This is Zhang Shize's letter to Lu Lingxi.

Evening.
Ji Heng's yard.
After the graduation uniforms for Class 15 were finished, he had some free time to make his own little items. Jiang He followed Ji Heng during this time. Like Ji Heng, he didn't talk much, which was different from other children of his age. He
was smart and independent, but he didn't talk much and was easily hard on himself.
Strangely, he got along very well with Ji Heng.
Usually, one of them would paint while the other would embroider, and the day would pass like this.
When Xu En came over with a bunch of gifts, the gate to the yard was open, and he saw Jiang He sitting on the stone table, slowly painting with a paintbrush.
Ji Heng looked up and saw Xu En, a little surprised: "Why did you come back suddenly?"
He stood up.
Special Assistant Xu followed behind Xu En, and he was also carrying a bunch of things in his hands. "Mr. Xu didn't tell me in advance because he didn't want to disturb Miss Bai's exam preparation."
"I don't plan to stay any longer. I came to see you and A-Xi. A-Xi doesn't want to take the college entrance examination anymore, so she has to go back tomorrow." Xu En put a bunch of gifts in the living room. He was a little surprised to see the TV in the living room. "You bought a TV."
He thought Ji Heng didn't like watching TV, so he didn't think of buying one for them.
This time when Xu En came back, he brought them a bunch of gifts. In addition to cigarettes, there were also clothes and accessories prepared for Bai-Xi.
"A-Ti bought it," Ji Heng went to make two cups of tea, and asked the two to sit down. After waiting for a long time, no one came. He pondered for a moment: "Mulan didn't come back?"
Xu En put his things away, "Xiangcheng is far away, and the doctor said that her pregnancy was unstable, so I didn't let her come back."
Ji Heng glanced at Xu En, and he lit the cigarette bag, "You don't have to explain for her."
Ji Heng knew what Ji Mulan was thinking.
Even if the journey was not far, Ji Mulan did not call to inquire about Bai Ti's college entrance examination results.
As long as she doesn't force Bai Di, Ji Heng doesn't want to get too involved in Ji Mulan's affairs. He knows that Ji Mulan only has the unborn child in her belly in her eyes.
Ji Heng lowered his head and took a puff of cigarette.
His eyes were heavy.
Bai Di came back with Jiang Fuli.
When the two came back, Xu En was talking to Ji Heng in the lobby.
Seeing Bai Di and the other person coming back, Xu En couldn't help but stand up. He walked outside to greet Bai Di and his eyes paused on Jiang Fuli.
Jiang Fuli was wearing a white shirt today, and the sharpness of the whole person was hidden under the light.
But the pair of light-colored eyes looked over lightly, still making people feel very oppressive.
Xu En wondered in his heart, who exactly is this Mr. Jiang.
Jiang, surname Jiang...
Xu En only thought for a moment, then changed his mind. He reached out and took out a golden pendant with the words "Successful in the Imperial Examination" and gave it to Bai Shi. "You will take the college entrance examination in two days. I wish you success in advance."
This is the pendant he asked Jinpu to make. Xu Zhiyue and Bai Shi both have one.
Assistant Xu said auspicious words beside him, "Miss Zhiyue said that Miss Bai is so good at math, she will definitely be successful in the Imperial Examination."
"Thank you." Bai Shi lowered her eyebrows and took the pendant.

Jiang Jing.
The old house of the Xu family.
Xu Zhiyue is still in school. Only the old lady Xu Wenyao and Ji Mulan are at home to eat together.
"I will go to see Zhiyue off on the day of the college entrance examination," said Old Xu, holding chopsticks in his right hand and spinning the Buddhist beads in his left hand. "Wenyao, you are busy at school, so you don't have to rush back."
Xu Wenyao nodded.
As the college entrance examination was approaching, Mrs. Xu was also anxious. She ate two mouthfuls of rice and remembered something, "Where is your father?"
"He went back to Xiangcheng," Xu Wenyao said, "Sister Bai Xi is also going to take the college entrance examination, and he went back to visit them in advance."
Mrs. Xu knew that Bai Xi was going to take the college entrance examination.
But she didn't expect Xu En to go back specially.
She glanced at Ji Mulan opposite. Her mother didn't go back, but he hurried back.
Mrs. Xu didn't say anything else.
After dinner, the old lady still went to the ancestral hall at the back to burn incense to the Bodhisattva and bless Xu Zhiyue's grades.
"Old lady," Butler Xu reported respectfully beside her, "According to the news, Miss Qi seems to have met the Third Young Master Xu."
The Third Young Master Xu is a prominent figure in the Xu family ancestral hall.
Xu Jin and Xu Jinyi were both overshadowed by Young Master Xu. Many people said that the next patriarch of the Xu family should surpass their fathers and fall directly to Young Master Xu.
"Are you serious?" Mrs. Xu opened her eyes suddenly, her cloudy eyes shining brightly.
She was not qualified to meet Xu Sanshao and his group, but that didn't affect her keeping an eye on their news.
Housekeeper Xu replied: "Nine times out of ten."
Mrs. Xu hung the Buddhist beads on her hands and clasped her hands together, "I'll go and check on the family in two days."

June 4th.
On Ji Shaojun's side, after finishing the day's course, Ji Shaojun, Lou Guanjia and others proposed to return to Xiangcheng.
And I will go back early tomorrow morning.
"The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon," the housekeeper looked at Ji Shaojun and disagreed with him going back, "I'm going to take you to see the master, why are you going back to Xiangcheng now?"
Ji Shaojun lowered his head and poured himself a cup of tea, not hiding it from the housekeeper, he said slowly: "Go back to see my father and A-Xu."
"People can be seen at any time," the housekeeper put down the teacup, his fingers were full of grooves, "the master also took time out to prepare to see you this time."
"Housekeeper," Shen Qing explained beside him, "It's different, A-Xu is going to take the college entrance examination, Shaojun and I are going to go back to see her."
She sat next to Ji Shaojun, and she didn't feel as awkward as before after coming to Jiangjing for so long.
College entrance examination?
The housekeeper paused, he remembered that Bai Di was indeed taking the college entrance examination this year.
Moreover, sending her to the exam...
He knew that Bai Di lived with Ji Heng and studied at Xiangcheng No. 1 Middle School.
The housekeeper looked serious and wondered, "I know you care about her, but it's just the college entrance examination. Is it worth it for you to go back to send her to the exam?"
He also knew that Shen Qing and Ji Shaojun have always cared about Bai Di, but now the two of them are too concerned about Bai Di's college entrance examination. It's understandable that he pays more attention to her, but he doesn't have to go back to Xiangcheng for this, right? Shen Qing and Ji Shaojun
are so excited, as if she is going to be the top scorer in the exam?
