Everyone looked in the direction of her finger and saw the porcelain doll with a pink and tender little face. Their eyes widened.
In their minds, being second was already quite remarkable, quite incredible. But they never expected that not only was he not second, but he actually became first. You can imagine everyone's surprise.
Bei Yutang said to Dai Xiang, "Dai Xiang, stop talking and let's go."
Dai Xiang muttered softly, "I don't want outsiders to take away our young master's place."
The outsider Hua Ziyun glanced at her silently.
As soon as Dai Xiang met his gaze, she smiled at him embarrassedly.
As soon as they got home, they saw the messenger standing at their door. Every time the results were announced, there would be someone who would come to announce the good news and ask for a reward.
The man who announced the good news came to the door, thinking that if he won first place, he would definitely get a good reward. But when he arrived, he found that the man was not at home. Now the man who announced the good news stood at the door, crying and waiting.
As soon as I saw them coming back, I hurried forward to congratulate them.
"Congratulations, congratulations, Master Mu for being the first in this children's exam."
Although they already knew the result, since the person had run to the door, Bei Yutang was not a stingy person. He took out a silver ingot from his pocket and gave it to the person who brought the good news.
The person who brought the good news had originally not held out much hope. After all, he knew the outcome from their looks. He never expected that he would receive such a huge reward. Naturally, he was overjoyed and said a lot of flattering words.
After the person who announced the good news arrived, Dai Xiang couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sister Mu, we all know, why did we still give him money?"
Hua Ziyun, standing by, explained for Bei Yutang, "You don't understand this, do you? This is called a lucky number, and it's meant for good luck. If you pass the imperial examination or become a tribute student, the reward money will be substantial."
Daixiang nodded, not quite understanding.
"You two go back first. Daixiang and I will go buy some groceries to celebrate your selection." Bei Yutang said with a smile.
"Madam, let's go with you. I have never been to the market to buy vegetables." Hua Ziyun suggested.
Bei Yutang knew that when the princes traveled, the people serving him would not let him get involved in these places. "Okay."
The group went to the market to purchase things. Hua Ziyun had never been to such a place before. When he saw that the place was dirty and messy, his brows frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Bei Yutang whispered, "Ziyun, can't you bear seeing this? In many places, people live in even dirtier and more chaotic environments than these. For example, the Tiancheng County Vegetable Market is already in good condition, but some places are even worse than this."
When Hua Ziyun went out, he always saw the good side of things and rarely saw such poor places. This was the first time he had seen such a scene, so he was naturally surprised.
"Is there any place worse than this?" Hua Ziyun asked in surprise.
All he saw along the way was the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he had never seen the appearance of a slum. Whether it was the houses here, the clothes worn by the people, or the poor environment around them, he had never seen anything like it before.
Dai Xiang smiled and said, "It's obvious that Young Master Hua has never been to a place like this. This place is already very good. If you go to my hometown and take a look, this place will definitely be heavenly."
