Chapter 506: The List
On the day of the announcement, everyone in the Yu family was inevitably a little nervous.
Xingxing slept well and ate well. After eating, she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and ran to the place where the results were announced with her maid.
Most of those who come to wait for the list are servants.
There is really only one rich girl as delicate as Xingxing.
However, Xing Xing immediately saw Hu Ya, who was squeezing into the crowd with a sullen face.
"Sister Huya!" Xingxing almost jumped three feet high, waving her little hands.
When Huya saw Xingxing, she smiled and came over quickly: "Miss!"
Xing Xing said, "Why don't I see Master Zhang?"
A blush flashed across Huya's cold face: "...his mother brought his brother's family to Beijing, and he went to pick up his family. I had nothing to do, so I came to see him."
Xingxing said "Oh" and happily went to see the list with Huya.
Hu Ya knows Kung Fu, and she easily protected Xing Xing to the notice board where the list was posted.
There is still some time before the results are announced, and the notice board is empty.
All we can do is wait.
The prince and his entourage stood on the city wall, neither too far nor too close, looking at the people below who were waiting for the results to be announced.
For good luck, Xing Xing wrapped herself in a red shawl and a ruby headdress, looking like a festive little red lantern. She stood out in the crowd.
Wei Shiqing recognized Xing Xing at a glance and couldn't help laughing.
The officials around Wei Shiqing were all stunned.
Wei Shiqing was obviously in a good mood: "I saw Fusui Xiangjun."
When the officials of the Eastern Palace heard the four words "Fusui Xiangjun", they immediately perked up.
Who doesn't know that some time ago, Miss Yang's sister did something evil and bullied Lord Fusui, and what did she get in the end?
The seventh prince of the Yang family has become the son of Concubine Rou Guifei! During this period, the Lu family members walked with the wind!
Their Highness was furious and directly wiped out the second branch of the Yang family!
As officials of the Eastern Palace, they knew more. Two days ago, there was a blind palace maid who went to the Crown Princess to spread rumors about their Highness's attention to Lord Fusuixiang.
As a result, the Crown Princess just smiled and had the gossiper dragged out and given thirty lashes with the cane, making it clear that she was on the side of the Crown Prince and Fusui Xiangjun.
The officials of the Eastern Palace knew the truth very well. No matter what, they would be shocked when they heard the words "Fusui Xiangjun"!
Someone as clever as him had already checked Fu Sui Xiangjun's family, and immediately smiled and said to Wei Shiqing: "Your Highness, I think Xiangjun is here to check the news for her third brother. Her third brother, Yu Yongliu, is the last disciple of the former Grand Secretary Liu. He is very good at studying and has already won the third place in the imperial examination."
Wei Shiqing naturally knew this, but when he heard his subordinates say this, he felt a little proud.
——Xingxing is the person my younger brother values. Xingxing’s older brothers are all so outstanding. What does this prove? It proves that my younger brother has good taste!
My brother is so awesome!
You really are worthy of being my brother!
Wei Shiqing smiled and said, "I just wonder what rank Fusui Xiangjun's third brother will get this time."
"Your Highness, look, the official who is here to announce the results is here!"
The official in indigo-colored uniform held high a scroll tied with a golden ribbon and, escorted by soldiers, came to the notice board without any hindrance.
There was a sound of a gong, and the scroll that touched the hearts of thousands of students was unfurled and posted in front of the notice board.
Xingxing was short and looked up from the bottom of the scroll subconsciously.
I kept looking at the top of the list, and it clearly read - First Place: Yu Yongliu!
Xing Xing immediately cheered: "Wow!"
Hu Ya couldn't hide her excitement either: "The Third Young Master is so amazing! Miss, Miss, Zhang Nan also won, tenth! Tenth!"
If he can rank tenth in the joint examination that gathers talented people from all over the world, his ranking in the final palace examination will certainly not be low. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be a Jinshi!
The two hugged each other and cheered.
Wei Shiqing looked more and more curious.
An official who knew how to read people's faces had already told his followers to go down the city wall and squat in front of the notice board to check the rankings. When he got the report from his followers, he was surprised and loudly reported: "Your Highness, Fusui Xiangjun's third brother is really amazing and won the first place!"
Wei Shiqing laughed out loud and left with satisfaction.
The officials of the Eastern Palace looked at each other, and they were all thinking one thing in their hearts: the Yu family is incredible!
…
Xingxing and the person who brought the good news returned to Yu's house at the same time. Yu Yongliu was relatively calm, but the Yu family was overjoyed. They set off firecrackers blaringly, and ten servants came out carrying five baskets tied with red ribbons, distributing wedding money without hesitation.
The entire Wuyi Lane was in an uproar!
The people who came together to share in the joy were also very happy!
The Yu family is really generous!
The people talked about the Yu family with great relish.
In terms of military talent, they have the great general Zhenxi, a star of the Great Xia Dynasty; in terms of literature, they have a champion in the imperial examination who is less than 20 years old. Both the military and literary talents belong to the Yu family!
Not to mention, there is also Fusui Xiangjun who is deeply blessed by the royal family!
This Yu family is truly amazing!
In Prince Ying's mansion, Princess Qing'an had already sent her maid to wait where the list was posted. When she heard that Yu Yongliu had won the first place, she was so happy that she knocked over her favorite tea set.
Princess Qing'an was jumping happily in the house. Princess Ying came to look for her daughter and was not frightened at all.
In the end, Princess Qing'an blushed and made up an excuse to get away with it.
When Zhou Jijiu learned that Yu Yongliu had won the first place in the imperial examination, he laughed three times with joy and said to Madam Zhou, "Look, I have long said that this boy is definitely not an ordinary person! You are still nitpicking about his family background! If you don't settle this matter quickly, when he wins the first place in the imperial examination, I am afraid that my status as Jijiu will not be enough!"
Madam Zhou laughed and said, "How old is he? How could he have won the top three places in the imperial examination? He might have been lucky to win the first place, but it's hard to say how he will perform when he meets the emperor! It would be good enough for him to win the third place in the imperial examination!"
Although she said so, Mrs. Zhou still hurriedly prepared a gift and sent it to the Yu family.
The Yu family has been really busy these days.
Mrs. Wei brought the non-pregnant Su Rouer and Xing Xing to help Bai Xiaofeng sort out the gifts. They also checked some accounts and sent appropriate return gifts. It took two days to finish all these tasks!
After Xing Xing finished her work, she went to find Yu Yongbai and asked him about Hu Ya. However, she saw Yu Yongbai frowning and said, "I was just about to go to Hu Ya's house in Beijing. I haven't heard from her in the past two days. Although Zhang Nan also won the Gongsheng Award, she may be busy with Zhang Nan's affairs, but I still feel uneasy."
When Xing Xing heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she said hurriedly, "Second brother, I'll go with you too."
Who would have thought that just as the brother and sister had someone harness the carriage and were about to go to the house that Hu Ya bought in Beijing, they saw an inconspicuous carriage pull up. Gong Qingniang opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. When she saw Xingxing and her sister, her frown relaxed and she greeted them without saying a word of courtesy, "It's just right, you guys hurry over... Especially you, Boss Yu, take a look and see if this is your female waitress?"
In the carriage, Hu Ya was lying unconscious, and the smell of alcohol was so strong that it was suffocating.
