Chapter 287 Ranking
Song Ruize prepared a room in advance, and they moved to the room to wait for the results to be announced.
As soon as I went up to the second floor, I saw a maid waiting there. When she saw Tang Yichen coming up, she bowed and said respectfully, "Mr. Tang, our young master and young lady are in the next room. Your classmates Jiang and Li are also there. Mr. Tang can bring his family to the next room to wait for good news. When the list is announced, you and other students can celebrate the great joy together."
"Thank Mr. Gong and Miss Gong for their kindness. But I don't like crowds and just want to be with my family at this moment." Tang Yichen said as he took Qin Huiyin into the room.
The maid returned to the side room and conveyed Tang Yichen's words to Gong Qianyue, who was wearing a veiled hat.
Gong Qianyi sneered and shook the feather fan in his hand with a disdainful look: "Sister, this guy is stupid and boring. I really don't know what you like about him."
"He has excellent talent and a rare character. Dad has been working as a prefect outside, but he doesn't have enough connections. If he has his own connections, maybe he can be transferred back to the capital sooner."
"I saw you because he's good-looking. Don't think I don't know that you met him at various poetry gatherings, and every time you met him alone secretly. Sister, don't forget that you have an engagement." Gong Qianyi said lazily, "If you want to help dad transfer back to the capital, you might as well count on your future brother-in-law in the capital instead of counting on these civilian students."
"Don't talk nonsense. In your eyes, is my sister such a tactless person?" Gong Qianyue said calmly, "The results are out, let's take a look at the list!"
Qin Huiyin stood in front of the window and looked at the list opposite. At this moment, she was extremely grateful for her good eyesight. With her 5.0 vision, she saw Tang Yichen's name at a glance.
"Brother, your name..." Qin Huiyin pointed at the position on the opposite list. "The sixth..."
Tang Yichen looked in the direction she pointed, and indeed saw his name. He first let out a sigh of relief, and then felt a little disappointed.
Although he knew that it was unlikely for him to become the champion, he still held on to a glimmer of hope. But now the fantasy was like a bubble, bursting with a single poke.
He looked in the direction of the first name and saw the three words "Meng Shushen".
It's neither Jiang Zhongli nor Li Leyi.
A surprised voice came from next door: "Who is this Meng Shushen? I have never heard of this name before."
Qin Huiyin searched on the list and saw Jiang Zhongli's name in third place, Li Leyi's name in seventh place, and Xue Weifeng's name at the back, near the end.
Without waiting for Qin Huiyin to speak, Xue Weifeng excitedly hugged Tang Yichen: "Brother, I'm on the list too. Hahahaha... I finally made it."
Xue Weifeng was so excited that he almost hugged Qin Huiyin next to him, but was separated by Tang Yichen.
"Congratulations, your hard work during this period has not been in vain." Tang Yichen said.
"Thank you, Brother Jinzhi. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gotten what I wanted. No, I have to pass on the message. This is related to when I can resume using flowers. I'm leaving first, and I'll go to the Song residence to celebrate with you later."
Xue Weifeng ran out excitedly.
At this moment, he was like a happy little bird. If he had wings, he would have flown into the sky.
"Brother, congratulations on making the list." Qin Huiyin handed over the gift she had prepared long ago. "This is a gift for you, open it and see if you like it."
Tang Yichen opened the box and saw an exquisite brush.
"I made it myself, and I carved the patterns on it myself. Although it's not as good as those masters, it's better in terms of the thought. Do you like it, brother?"
"This is the best gift, I will cherish it." Tang Yichen couldn't let it go.
"My brother made the list. Let's celebrate on our own tonight, and then when we get home, tell our family the good news and set up dozens of tables for dinner."
"good."
"I had originally prepared a gift for Brother Wei Feng, but now it seems I can only give it to him tonight." Qin Huiyin put away the other box.
"You made brushes for him too?"
"No. I'm clumsy, and it took all my energy to make this one for you, so how could I have time to make a second one? I bought a small gift just to show my appreciation."
The maid from before came again. She said to Tang Yichen, "Mr. Tang, our Master and Miss invite you to celebrate with other students for passing the imperial examination."
"Miss, please thank Mr. Gong and Miss Gong for me. My sister and I have something else to do, so I have to leave now."
"Brother, it's not good to refuse again and again." Qin Huiyin lowered her voice and said, "How about you get together with them first, and then we can celebrate tomorrow?"
Tang Yichen was unwilling. At this important moment today, he only wanted to be accompanied by his most caring family. Other irrelevant people were just socializing for him. He really didn't want to socialize today.
"Miss, if you are free, our lady would like to invite you to the banquet." The maid said to Qin Huiyin.
Qin Huiyin smiled and said, "Thank your young lady for me. But I have already made an appointment with someone else, so I can't break it. Brother, you go! It's a good opportunity for so many students to get together and communicate with each other. Maybe we can go together next time we go to the capital."
"Okay, then be careful when you go back."
"Got it. I have them to protect me, nothing will happen."
The maid returned to the next room and told Gong Qianyue about the situation on Tang Yichen's side.
"Is she Mr. Tang's sister?" There was some joy in Gong Qianyue's voice.
"Yes. The girl is protected by two martial artists. She doesn't look like a lady from a wealthy family, but she doesn't look like an ordinary civilian girl either. It's really a bit strange."
"What's the girl's temperament like? Is she easy to get along with?"
"She's not very old, but she's very beautiful, and she always smiles when she talks. She's very pleasing to look at. Master Tang likes this sister very much and doesn't want to be separated from her!"
"If there is a chance, I really want to get to know him." Gong Qianyue said, "Today's banquet will be held at the prefectural government office. Please invite all the students on the list."
"The other students were on the previous list, but I have never seen this Meng Shushen." Gong Qianyi said, "I will send someone to find out which academy he is from."
Qin Huiyin and her two followers left the teahouse. As soon as she walked out of the teahouse, she saw a scholar stopping her.
The scholar looked at Qin Huiyin excitedly and said, "Thank you, young lady."
He bowed deeply.
Qin Huiyin recognized him as the scholar who had caused the misunderstanding, and said with a smile: "Although I don't know why you are thanking me, but seeing that you look so happy, did you make the list?"
"Yes, I am lucky to be on the list. Miss, although I did not want to die that day, I felt that the world was so dark and there was no hope in life. Your kindness made me feel that there is still kindness in the world, and I mustered up the courage to participate in the scientific expedition." The scholar said, "My name is Meng Shushen, let me formally meet you."
"So you are the top scorer!" Qin Huiyin was surprised. "Congratulations, Master Meng."
"It was just luck for me. I don't deserve the title of Jieyuan. I won't bother you anymore. I'm taking my leave." Meng Shushen walked away with a red face.
