Marriage of the Di Daughter

Books, numbers, and etiquette are trivial matters for Jiang Li.

The academy in Tongxiang is not as rich as Mingyitang, but it is not humble either. On the contrary, Jiang Li believes that in terms of learning, Zhongming Dingshi's family has a noble study method, and the common people's family also has an ordinary family's study method. Although there is no gentleman from the palace to personally teach, Jiang Li thinks that under Xue Huaiyuan's careful teaching, she is not too bad. Even, Xue Huaiyuan never hesitated to let her see the wider sky and freedom, making her look even farther than the man.

Otherwise, in Yanjing City back then, besides the number one beauty, she would not be known as the number one talented woman.

Thinking, writing, and writing seem to be done in one go. Doing it all over again, the shackles of "Mrs. No. 1 Scholar" have been removed, perhaps because Jiang Li has become more open-minded after dying once, and Jiang Li's writing is more handy. The prisoner was patrolling the room, seeing that she was writing like a god without stopping, and even surprised for a while.

Time passed quickly, after the three exams, the supervisor put away the best scroll, ordered some important matters, and left. For the rest, we just have to wait for the results to be released five days later to know the result.

Jiang Li walked out of the courtyard of Mingyi Hall, Jiang Youyao chased after her, and said from a distance: "Second Sister, do you think it's okay?"

"It's okay." Jiang Li replied with a smile.

"Second sister don't have to force it." Jiang Yu'e seized the opportunity to taunt Jiang Li, "Second sister must have racked her brains for today's school exam and is extremely tired. She will rest in the mansion these few days. When the exam is released, sisters I'll help you watch it together."

"Then I'll have to work." Jiang Li nodded.

Jiang Youyao and Jiang Yu'e were a little displeased to see that Jiang Li was not angry, nor was she tired from panic, but after thinking about it for a moment, they probably felt that Jiang Li was smiling with a forced face, so they became happy again.

Meng Hongjin stood at the door, she felt good after the school exam, she just looked at Jiang Li with a provocative smile and said, "Second Miss Jiang, don't forget the bet between you and me, on the day when the results are released, we all have to come at the gate of Mingyi Hall , but don’t refuse to come with excuses at that time, at that time, it can be regarded as dishonesty and will be ridiculed by others.”

"To each other." Jiang Li remained calm.

Meng Hongjin snorted coldly, turned around and left. Liu Xu looked at Jiang Li worriedly, and asked her, "Just now... did you find it difficult?"

"If I say it's not difficult, you won't believe it." Jiang Li patted her hand, "Don't worry, just open up and rest for the next few days, see you in five days."

She smiled and walked away with Tonger Baixue.

When he was about to get into the carriage, Jiang Li even saw Ye Shijie standing at the gate of the Imperial College from a distance. Ye Shijie was talking to the people around him, seeing his relaxed expression, he must have performed well. Bai Xue asked: "Miss, do you want to go up and say hello to Master Ye Biao?"

"No need." Jiang Li smiled slightly, "There are so many people with miscellaneous eyes, we will always meet on the day when the rankings are announced."

When Jiang Li returned to Jiang's house, Jiang Jingrui came to Fangfeiyuan to make trouble again, and pestered Jiang Li to ask how the result of today's battle was. After finally dismissing him, Ji Shuran sent someone to bring some melons and fruits, saying it was to relieve Jiang Li from his fatigue.

For the next few days, Jiang's residence was peaceful. Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yuanbai didn't ask about Jiang Li's school exam, probably avoiding the topic on purpose. Jiang Jingrui was always anxious that Jiang Li would lose face at the entrance of Mingyi Hall, but Jiang Li herself was not in a hurry, and lived a leisurely life, as if she was not in any hurry to make a bet with Meng Hongjin.

One day, two days, three days, four days, five days. On the morning of the fifth day, the big and small gambling houses in the streets and alleys opened their doors early in the morning to welcome customers. The gamblers are also in an endless stream, filling the entrance of the gambling house, and the teahouse and restaurant are also extremely lively today, full of guests. Even the dilapidated tavern, which had few customers on weekdays, was full of diners.

What people are talking about is today's announcement.

"The Guozijian releases the rankings today. I don't know how many young talents will be in Yanjing this year."

"Mingyi Hall is also releasing the list at this moment. Most of the ladies in the noble mansion are talented and beautiful. Who can live up to their reputation this year?"

The most talked about names are "Meng Hongjin" and "Jiang Li".

"If you want me to say, the most interesting thing today is the list of Mingyi Hall. Don't forget, before the school exam, the lady from Chengxuan's house and the daughter of the chief assistant's family made a bet. If you lose, you will have to kneel in front of Mingyi Hall to apologize. No talented scholar from the Imperial College or a talented woman from Mingyi Hall has the spirit to make this bet, everyone, don’t you think so?”

Everyone raised their glasses in agreement, and some people shook their heads and said: "It's a pity, Mr. Shoufu, such a Qingliu family, the head of civil servants, will be reduced to a laughing stock by this vicious daughter-in-law."

"It's so sad." Someone sighed.

"Isn't there a third lady in the first assistant's family? That third lady is a veritable lady of the family, and Master Jiang is not completely shameless."

"If you want me to say this is the difference, the third Miss Jiang's biological mother is a young lady from the Ji family who is the vice capital imperial envoy. The woman who came out and the daughter she gave birth to are also so shameless..."

At this moment, Ye Shijie was sitting among the guests downstairs of Wangxian Building, the largest restaurant in Yanjing City, his ears were full of personal discussions on this matter. Hearing "a merchant", Ye Shijie clenched his fists.

A friend around him asked: "Looking at this hour, it should be time to release the rankings. Why is there still no movement?"

As soon as the words fell, the crowd near the window suddenly became noisy, and someone said: "Come here!"

The person who posted the red list came.

The people waiting outside "Hula" surrounded them all at once, the guards blocked the crowd behind, and posted the red name list on the conspicuous stone walls everywhere. After the people who posted left, the eager crowd immediately "swiped" Surrounded them all at once.

Some people couldn't squeeze in, they were jumping around anxiously outside, trying to catch a glimpse or two, and asking the people inside from time to time: "Did you see it, who is the top one?"

The people inside were also difficult. A small man squeezed in quickly by virtue of his agility. He squeezed to the front in one breath and said loudly, "Ye Shijie, the number one in the Imperial College."

There was an uproar outside, the name Ye Shijie was too unfamiliar, it seemed that he did not belong to any of the official families in Beijing.

"Where's Mingyi Hall?" In the confusion, some people were more concerned about other things and asked, "Who is the number one in Mingyi Hall?"

The little man seemed to be the speaker, prolonging his voice, and said: "The number one in Mingyi Hall is, is—" His voice suddenly stopped, replaced by a long gasp of air.

The people around were extremely anxious, and they were more and more tickled, urging and cursing: "Hurry up, what's the matter, who is it?"

The little man was pushed and shoved a few times, he came back to his senses, turned his head angrily, and spit out a name.

"Ginger pear!"

Ginger pear? !

The crowd exploded.
