At the same time, the person who came out of the palace to announce the good news also arrived at Ling Mansion.
When the old lady heard that Ling Jiheng had passed the imperial examination and ranked first, she was so excited that she almost fainted.
Fortunately, Doctor Cheng was quick-witted and pinched her philtrum, so he did not miss such an important moment.
Shu Muyun also cried on the spot.
Although she lived a peaceful life over the years, she could never forget the scene when Madam Chen said she couldn't lay eggs during her exile.
She only gave birth to Ji Heng, but her son is very capable!
The top scholar, it’s actually the top scholar!
Even if she was dreaming, she wouldn't dare to think so!
Although Chi Xingyue was mentally prepared, he was still surprised by the news.
Baozhu supported her tightly, her whole body trembling with excitement: "Second Young Master's Madam, the Second Young Master is the top scorer, the Second Young Master really got the top scorer!"
The other servants were also surprised and delighted. They all stood straight, feeling proud.
The old lady hurriedly gave the red envelopes she had prepared in advance to the person who brought the good news, and asked the housekeeper to take care of the neighbors who came to congratulate her.
He took the old man and a group of young people to Chang'an Avenue to watch the top scholar riding a horse in the parade.
Chi Xingyue didn't expect that time would be so tight. She got on the carriage without even changing her clothes.
Fortunately, I got up early today and put on some light makeup. I looked radiant, and with all the jewels and jade on my body, my temperament instantly improved.
Baozhu was nervously fixing her hair, fearing that her second young master's wife would be outdone by those young ladies from aristocratic families.
However, Chi Xingyue has such fair skin, delicate features, and the identity of a county lady.
I guess no girl would dare to compete with her for the top scholar, right?
Baozhu was not very confident, after all, her second young master was extremely handsome.
However, the two of them have a good relationship, so even if those people have any ideas about it, it will be in vain.
Not sure if it was his illusion, but Chi Xingyue felt that there were more and more people on the street.
When you lift the curtain, you can still see the excitement on their faces.
He muttered, "Hurry up, hurry up, I heard the number one scholar is very handsome!"
Chi Xingyue became anxious and told Ling Yi to speed up so that he wouldn't be snatched away by others.
If she couldn't see Ling Jiheng's heroic figure, she would regret it for the rest of her life!
Ling Yi responded and hit the horse's butt with the whip.
Erzhu yelled from the side: "Please make way, please make way!"
The person in front really made way for me.
But there were too many people on the street, and even if everyone subconsciously moved to the side, the car couldn't go faster.
I can only say that it is a little better than before.
In this way, a group of people finally arrived near Chang'an Avenue, only to find that it was packed with people.
Chi Xingyue couldn't squeeze in and became anxious.
Erzhu took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket and threw them into the air: "Ah, whose money fell!"
Everyone immediately bent down to look for the copper coin that had fallen to the ground.
It was so crowded that no one noticed what the Ling family was doing.
Taking advantage of this period, Ling Yi and a few others protected Chi Xingyue and the old lady and squeezed into a restaurant. They used their money to get a private room with the daughter of the chief priest.
A group of people crowded on the windowsill, looking eagerly.
Shu Muyun was afraid that something might happen to her little grandson, so she pulled Chi Xingyue to the table and said, "It's dangerous by the window, sit here and rest. Wait for Heng'er to come over, and I'll call you!"
The daughter of the chief priest glanced at Chi Xingyue, and seeing that her belly was so big, she didn't take it seriously and continued to whisper to the maid beside her.
"Miss, I heard that the top two candidates for this imperial examination are both extremely handsome!"
The daughter of the chief priest sighed, "Such a fine young man might have already been chosen for the daughter of an important official. We should stop dreaming."
The maid nodded, not without regret.
Then I heard the daughter of the chief priest say: "We can pick a young and handsome one from the top three. Even if he can't become a high official in the future, he won't be bad at all."
The maid smiled and said, "Yes, my lord is already waiting at the destination. He will definitely find a good husband for you, young lady!"
The daughter of the chief priest shyly poked the maid's forehead and said, "You are so careless with your words. It's so embarrassing!"
When Chi Xingyue heard this, he burst out laughing.
Meeting the embarrassed gaze of the daughter of the chief priest, she quickly coughed twice to hide her previous emotions.
"I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well. I hope I didn't disturb you two."
The daughter of the chief priest shook her head, thinking that it would be fine as long as she could hear me talking to the maid.
The group waited and waited, and finally saw the scholars.
The first three people are the top three in the imperial examination, wearing big red flowers and riding big red horses.
Following behind was a huge group of Jinshi candidates.
In front of the tall horses were the yamen runners.
Holding signs saying "Silence" and "Avoid", they took two steps and struck a gong, attracting everyone's attention.
Shu Muyun saw it from afar and waved excitedly.
He quickly turned around and called out to Chi Xingyue, "Xingyue, come quickly! Heng'er will be here soon!"
The daughter of the chief priest glanced at the window next door in surprise and asked: "Did someone in your family pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi?"
Shu Muyun smiled and said, "Well, my son accidentally won the first place!
This is his wife, my daughter-in-law, who came specially to watch her husband's horse parade!"
Chi Xingyue nodded to the young lady of the chief priest's family as a courtesy.
The daughter of the chief priest hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, ladies!"
Chi Xingyue asked Baozhu to go over and help him, said "No need for formalities", and turned his attention back to the window.
The parade was moving very slowly. No matter whether it was the first-class Jinshi on horseback or the second-class Jinshi and third-class Jinshi walking in the team, they all stood with their backs straight and behaved in a dignified manner.
