The person who brought the good news from the yamen soon arrived at the Anyuan Earl's Mansion.
One prefecture and two middle schools, one civil and one military, and both are top-notch.
Cheng Shun had people set off firecrackers at the gate for half an hour to celebrate this happy moment.
After hearing the news, people who were familiar with the Cheng family also sent gifts.
In addition to Cheng Jinxing, Ji Minghao also took the top spot in the martial arts exam, and their scores were the same.
In the martial arts test, Cheng Jinxing scored one point more than Ji Minghao, but in the written test, Ji Minghao scored one point more than Cheng Jinxing, so the two had the same score.
The Cheng family also had people prepare gifts and send them to Ji Beihou’s mansion.
At this time, the old marquis and the old lady of Jibeihou Mansion finally accepted Cheng Wu as their son-in-law.
After all, he has two nephews who are about to become the top scorer in the imperial examination, and with the support of the Anyuan Marquis's Mansion, Cheng Wu's status is worthy of Ji Feifei.
The second prince has already married. Although the two old men in the Hou Mansion were troubled by not being able to get along with the second prince, they were more relieved that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had returned safely.
…
On the night of the results announcement, the Cheng family set up several tables and invited friends they knew to a banquet.
"Mom, why don't you go in?"
Seeing that dinner was about to start and Gu Xuelan was still in the outer courtyard, seemingly waiting for someone, Cheng Jinxing stepped forward and called out.
"There are two distinguished guests."
Gu Xuelan gave Cheng Jinxing a meaningful look.
"Distinguished guest? Mother..."
"Grandma Cheng, I'm so sorry. Today is the day the results are announced, and the streets are too crowded for carriages to pass. We're late!"
"Madam Xue, if you say so, my neighbor who lives next door, didn't you come here so late on purpose?"
Before Cheng Jin could finish his words, he saw two ladies in luxurious clothes entering the gate together.
He started taking the exam as soon as he arrived in the capital, so he was not familiar with the people in the capital and did not recognize these two ladies.
However, after the two ladies came in, he saw the girls following behind them and could probably guess the identities of the two people.
Mrs. Xue, Xue Hanyu's stepmother, was bringing Xue Hanyu in.
The other one was the eldest princess who lived next door to the Anyuan Marquis’s Mansion. She also brought a girl with her. This girl was none other than Gu Yan, Gu Yan’er, who was ruthlessly driven away by Cheng Jinxing in Feihu Village.
"Sister Yan'er, why are you here just now?"
Cheng Minhong ran out from somewhere and ran happily to Gu Yaner.
"Jinxing, come here. This is Madam Xue, Hanyu's mother. This is Her Royal Highness the Princess, and next to her is Princess Yan'er."
Gu Xuelan pulled Cheng Jinxing forward to greet people.
Cheng Jinxing stepped forward and saluted.
"That's really great! Grandma Cheng, I thought Jin Yan was already exceptional, but I didn't expect your youngest son to be so good too. We need to talk more in the future, and you should teach me some parenting tips!"
The eldest princess looked at Cheng Jinxing with great satisfaction.
"Grandma Cheng, thanks to you for managing Ruyi Manor these past two years, Hanyu knows nothing. Now, she just returned from Jiangnan, and the Prime Minister and I asked her to come see you, but she refused. Today, you must have a good talk with her!"
Mrs. Xue interrupted.
Cheng Jinxing looked at the two ladies in confusion. Why did he feel like they were not getting along?
The point is, the two of them don't get along, so why does it feel like he's trying hard to get along with his mother?
The three women went into the hall chatting and laughing, and Cheng Jinxing naturally stood next to Xue Hanyu.
Xue Hanyu lowered her head shyly and did not dare to look at Cheng Jinxing.
