Chapter 149 Results Announced
The old lady smiled and nodded, Shen Tang bowed, then turned around and left.
When Chen Tang arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, the servant had just brought the carriage over. Yin Xing helped Chen Tang get into the carriage, then got in herself, and the servant drove the carriage to the Jiang family.
Today is the day when the results of the Spring Examination are announced. The streets are particularly busy and it took me a quarter of an hour longer than usual to get to the Jiang family.
The gatekeeper of the Jiang family saw the familiar carriage of the Pingyuan Marquis's mansion and hurried forward to greet them. Chen Tang lifted the curtain and came out. The gatekeeper said, "My cousin is here. The eldest and second young masters, the eldest and second young ladies have all left the mansion to wait for the announcement of the results of the Spring Examination."
Chen Tang, "..."
She wanted to come to Jiang's house and wait with them, but they ended up waiting in front of the list.
Gingko covered her mouth and smiled, "Miss, are you going to go look for your eldest cousin, young master, and young lady?"
Chen Tang glanced at the sky and said, "At this time, if I go there, they will come back. I'd better wait at Jiang's house."
Gingko then got off the carriage and helped Chen Tang down.
Cuibai Courtyard.
Old Madam Jiang sat on the couch drinking tea, but she was obviously a little nervous as she was waiting. After all, her two grandsons were taking the imperial examinations, and she was about to know the results, so she couldn't help but be nervous.
Mrs. Jiang Da and Mrs. Jiang Er were so nervous that they could not sit still on their stools and kept looking towards the screen.
If it’s fast, the results will be announced by now, but sometimes they are not released until the afternoon, there is no fixed schedule.
Mrs. Jiang II was so nervous that she even served the wrong tea. She reached out and served Mrs. Jiang I's tea. The maid said, "Mrs. II, you served the wrong tea."
Mrs. Jiang II quickly put down her tea. At this moment, a maid ran in. Mrs. Jiang I thought the results had been announced and quickly stood up. The maid said, "Madam, our cousin is here."
Mrs. Jiang covered her chest with her hands and sat back silently.
Not long after, Shen Tang walked in, and Madam Jiang waved at her, "Tang'er is here, come and sit next to your grandmother."
Chen Tang didn't even bother to greet her before sitting down next to Old Madam Jiang. Old Madam Jiang asked, "Why are you at the Jiang family?"
Chen Tang said, "Today is the day when the results of the Spring Examination are announced. I thought that instead of waiting in the mansion, it would be better to come to the Jiang family to wait for good news. However, I didn't expect that my cousins were waiting in front of the list..."
Madam Jiang smiled and said, "You are calm and steady, unlike them, who are all impatient."
Before Shen Tang finished speaking, Yin Xing covered her mouth and laughed, “The girl doesn’t know, otherwise she would have gone there too.”
Chen Tang glared at Ginkgo, then said to Old Madam Jiang, "You two cousins will definitely be admitted to high school."
Old Madam Jiang also had confidence in her two grandsons, but she still felt a lingering fear when she thought about how Jiang Mingxiu and Jiang Mingyuan almost couldn't even enter the examination room.
They waited for cup of tea after cup of tea. Not to mention Mrs. Jiang Da and Mrs. Jiang Er, even Old Madam Jiang wanted to go to the place where the results were announced and wait.
This is too exhausting.
It’s almost time for lunch. Has the result not been announced yet or has he failed to pass the exam, so the servant doesn’t dare to come back to report it?
Good things are reported quickly, but bad things are reported reluctantly.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Chen Tang looked at the clepsydra. A servant came running in from outside, propped up on his knees and panting, saying, "Old, old lady..."
I ran all the way back, my mouth was dry and I couldn't speak.
Mrs. Jiang stood up quickly and asked, "Have the results been announced?"
The servant nodded repeatedly, swallowed his saliva and said, "The old lady is very happy! The eldest and second young masters are both on the list!"
Old Madam Jiang's tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, while Mrs. Jiang's first and second wives were even more delighted and were so happy that they were speechless.
Two Jinshi in one family.
What an honor it is.
In fact, the results released today are only the list of candidates who have entered the examination. There will be a palace examination later to determine the final list. However, there will be no elimination in the palace examination, which means that those who are on the list today have already been admitted into high school.
Madam Jiang asked, "How is the ranking?"
Although this is not the final ranking, only those at the top of the list have a chance to compete for the top spot.
The servant said, "The eldest young master ranks quite high, ninth, and the second young master is a little behind."
It is already a great honor for the two young masters of the Jiang family to be on the list at the same time. To have them both ranked high is something that even Old Madam Jiang dare not even dream of.
Although she ranked low, Mrs. Jiang was satisfied. In fact, in the officialdom, except for the first place in the first and second classes, the difference in ranking was not that big. Once you enter the officialdom, whether you can rise quickly or not, talent and knowledge are important, but they are really not that important. How many top scorers are silent in the Hanlin Academy, and how many of the ones behind them are promoted to the position of first-rank officials.
Madam Jiang patted Chen Tang's hand and said, "It's all thanks to Tang'er."
Chen Tang shook his head and said, "This is not Tang'er's credit, it's the efforts of the two cousins, and it's you, grandfather, uncle and aunt who taught them well."
This sentence made everyone praise her. Old Madam Jiang smiled from ear to ear, "This little mouth is like covered with honey."
Ginkgo was laughing secretly on the side. The girl didn't have any honey on her lips, but she had put a lot of bayberry on them a few days ago, so they were also sweet.
Knowing that she had made the list, Madam Jiang felt relieved. She glanced at the clepsydra and said with a smile, "We don't know when they will be back. Let's wait for a quarter of an hour. If they don't come back, we can eat first."
A quarter of an hour passed quickly, the maid brought in the food, and Shen Tang helped Madam Jiang sit down.
As soon as I picked up the chopsticks, ginger, lemon and ginger pear came back.
But only the two of them came back, so Old Madam Jiang asked, "Why are only the two of you back? Where are your eldest brother and the others?"
Jiang Li smiled and said, "My eldest and second brothers have both graduated from high school, and they were dragged away by their classmates to celebrate, so we came back first."
When Jiang Ning sat down, her feet were limping a little. Chen Tang saw it and asked, "What's wrong with your feet, cousin?"
Jiang Ning glared at Jiang Li, then blushed and said, "When the results were announced, my second sister was anxious to see the list, so she pulled me forward and someone stepped on me by accident..."
Jiang Li stuck out her tongue playfully, sat down next to Chen Tang, covered her mouth and laughed, "Cousin, do you know who stepped on my elder sister?"
Shen Tang raised an eyebrow, "How can I guess that?"
Jiang Li said, "It's the one who ranked first on the imperial examination list, his name is Jiang Huaizhi. My brother said that he is very likely to be the new number one scholar this year."
Jianghuai.
The top scholar in the previous life.
When he was parading on horseback, Chen Tang went to see him. He looked very handsome and was said to be the eldest son of the Jiang family, a prominent family in Qizhou.
In his previous life, he cheated in the imperial examination and still managed to get the third place. In this life, everyone takes the exam based on their real abilities, so there is a great possibility that Young Master Jiang will get the first place.
Although the imperial examination list is not the final list, it is not ranked randomly, especially the first one. Although he is not necessarily the top scorer, he is definitely among the top one.
Chen Tang smiled and said, "Is there anyone who wants to find a son-in-law?"
Jiang Li nodded repeatedly, "Master Jiang was caught as a son-in-law, and he stepped on the elder sister in a panic. You didn't see how embarrassed he looked when he realized he had stepped on the elder sister..."
Jiang Li's voice was drawn out, and Jiang Ning wanted to cover her mouth.
