Chapter 89 Shocking Everyone
The first place among the tribute students in Jiarong High School is a major event in more than ten years.
Jia's mother couldn't smile from ear to ear, and the price was just one month's worth of money.
"Ms. You, don't be afraid of spending money. I'll keep this flowing mat for three days, give out porridge and scatter copper coins in and outside the city."
"Yes."
Jia Zheng frowned with joy and stroked his beard, "My ancestors have blessed me, our Jia family has another Jinshi."
Jia She put his arms around Jia Rong's shoulders and said, "Good boy, you have earned back the face of my family. I wonder if those guys still dare to tease me."
Jia She said: "Call the troupe and the famous actors, and come to the mansion tomorrow to sing a few songs."
Firecrackers more than ten meters long went off outside, and everyone covered their ears waiting for the newspaper delivery person to come.
"Dangdangdang..."
"Dangdangdang..."
The sound of the gong is getting closer and louder.
Everyone was looking forward to it, and finally saw the figure of the official who announced the good news, coming this way.
Wang Xifeng turned around and shouted with a smile: "Hurry up and prepare the wedding money."
Li Wan caught up and said, "The first place is Huiyuan, so the happy money is doubled."
"Zhou Sun, you can take care of this."
Zhou Sun was so happy that he personally led people to put two wallets of wedding money into one wallet.
Officials came to announce the good news, beating gongs and drums to congratulate: "Congratulations to Jia Rong, your high school, for ranking first in the A list."
The official handed over the transcript of the list.
Everyone in the Jia Mansion was extremely happy, "Please come in."
"Come in and have some tea before you leave."
"Thank you for your hard work, fellow official officers."
Jiarong High School and Ningguo Mansion held running banquets for three consecutive days.
You's ability was insufficient, so she asked Wang Xifeng to come over to help, and Qin Keqing, Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun assisted.
The front door of Ningguo Mansion was bustling with people, and relatives and friends kept coming to congratulate him.
The news that Jia Rong won the first place in the first-class examination list spread, and many people sprayed tea.
Everyone in the Xungui circle was shocked, "How much did Jia Rong get in the exam?"
"No. 1 on the A list."
"This is impossible. Even if he has the strength, he will not be on the top list."
"Those civil servants have changed their minds and no longer target us?"
Beijing Wang Shuirong squirted out a mouthful of tea, "Jia Rong won the first place on the list!"
"You can't be wrong. I saw it with my own eyes. Only those sent by the prince to take the exam will be at the bottom of the list."
"My subordinates have also seen that everyone from Xungui's family who went to take the exam, except Jia Rong, is on the B list."
"There is no doubt that Jia Rong has outstanding literary talents, but don't those civil servants look down on us nobles? Aren't those civil servants suppressing our nobles? Why did Jia Rong get the first place on the list?"
Beijing Wang Shuirong is puzzled.
When the Shi family got the news, the Shi family's man and his wife immediately took Shi Xiangyun to Ningguo Mansion.
Shi Xiangyun's aunt on the carriage said: "Don't always go to Jia Baoyu's side in the future. This Jia Rong is the one we should win over."
Shi Xiangyun turned his head and refused to listen.
"Damn girl, do you hear that? If you don't think about your brothers, you also have to think about yourself. What good is it for you to stick to Jia Baoyu?
Even if he wants to get married, he still wants Miss Lin, and you will be nothing more than a concubine."
The aunt also said: "Jia Baoyu will not be able to inherit the title in the future. It is still unclear whether he can be admitted to the Jinshi. It is better to be in favor of Jia Rong. Have a hot bite and help the family."
The aunt pushed Shi Xiangyun, "Go find Xichun tonight, stay at her place, and help her greet the guests."
"Jia Rong is just a Gongsheng student. What's the big deal? Brother Baoyu will also be able to pass the exam in the future."
The aunt groaned, "When I saw you when I was three years old, he was like that, heartless, and when he saw a pretty girl, he called me sister. Even if he was admitted to the Jinshi or a high official, he wouldn't be very kind to you. You
Even if you die, he won’t even look at you twice.”
As they approached Ningguo Mansion, Aunt Shi changed her face, stepped out of the carriage with a smile, walked into Ningguo Mansion with gifts and shouted congratulations.
Boss Shi Xiangyun was reluctant, but when she saw Tanchun, Xichun and others in the backyard, she became happy again.
Zhang Dingyuan, who was celebrating Wang Qiyuan, spit out a mouthful of wine and said, "Who won the first place?"
"Jia Rong, Jia Ziqian, from Ning Guofu."
Zhang Dingyuan: "I'm really blind. The Wang family didn't choose, so they chose Jia Rong."
Civil servants have never allowed nobles to come forward. This time, Zhang Dingyuan expected that Jia Rong's position was not high, so he never dared to see Jia Rong.
I'm afraid of hurting Jia Rong's heart, and I'm also afraid of outsiders gossiping.
You wouldn’t know if you didn’t ask, but you’d be surprised if you asked, Jia Rong actually won the first place.
"This is strange, people have changed their gender this year."
Wang Qiyuan said: "Zi Qian has extraordinary literary talent and novel ideas. It is not surprising that he won the first place."
A group of young men said one after another: "This is strange."
"Very strange."
"Old Wang, you are not an official, you don't know the rules here."
Zhang Dingyuan said: "Do you know why Jia Jing became a Taoist priest?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Zhang Dingyuan said: "Jia Rong's grandfather Jia Jing also had extraordinary literary talent and was expected to win the first prize. Even my grandfather said that he would be the number one scholar.
As a result, students in the Gongsheng examination took two exams to pass. In the palace examination, they were ranked last, making them worthy of being ranked among the same Jinshi students."
"Is Jia Jing's literary talent bad? Not bad at all, it's just that his superiors are trying to prevent him from getting ahead.
When he was appointed as an official, he was not allowed to be an official when there should have been a vacancy, and he was made to wait for five years.
When he was asked to become an official, he was given a ninth-grade sesame official.
No matter how high his spirit was, it would be worn away. From then on, he looked away and went to Taoism to seek immortality."
Everyone nodded to show their understanding, but only Wang Qiyuan showed an incredulous expression.
Wang Qiyuan sighed: "It is not easy for Jia Rong to get first place in such a severe test."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Now that the results have been released and we are free, why not go to Jia Rong's place to ask for a drink?"
"Okay."
"Walk."
Zhang Dingyuan led a group of dandy boys to Ningguo Mansion.
The Ningguo Mansion is like a bustling city, with many relatives and friends coming and going. Jia Rong's face froze with laughter.
Zhang Dingyuan: "Zi Qian, congratulations, you actually won the first place."
"Zi Qian, this is amazing."
"By the way, Brother Ziqian, you have finished the exam now. Shouldn't this book be updated?"
Wang Qiyuan, who was also a Gongsheng student, also came. He sighed sincerely, "Zi Qian's ability to fight his way out of a desperate situation is incomparable to me, and your literary talents are something I look up to."
Jia Rong's smile remained unchanged, thinking: If I told you that this ranking was bought with money, would you spit?
Jia Rong smiled and said to everyone: "I think I have good literary talent, but it was Mr. Zhang who let me go, which gave me the chance to win the first place."
Everyone carries the sedan chair. If you give me face, I will give you face.
Zhang Dingyuan immediately said some compliments and led everyone to sit down and have a drink.
In the backyard, Miharu can take charge of her own business, greeting guests skillfully and arranging the work of her servants.
Many ladies glowed green when they saw Sanchun. They pulled Wang Xifeng and asked, "I wonder if the three girls are engaged?"
Some pulled Li Wan and asked: "It's nice to have a nephew in my family, why not..."
Wang Xifeng laughed loudly at the banquet, "These three girls are the eyes of Mr. Rong. If you want to marry me, you have to ask him."
