Chapter 106: Adventure in the County
As soon as the list was released, grandma and sisters stood on tiptoe, vying for the first place.
The second and fourth sisters had already joined the crowd and started checking the lists one by one.
"Why are there only seating numbers but no names?"
"Jiang Xiaoliu, Xiaoliu, what's your seat?" Unable to find her place, Jiang Sini squeezed out of the crowd in frustration.
Jiang Erni still swept the list.
The eldest sister, the third sister and the fifth sister just looked from the back to the front, and didn't know which rank belonged to their own little six.
"Xiao Liu, I won!" Zhao Tiancheng walked out of the crowd and first came to Jiang Yue to tell her the good news. Liu was undoubtedly excited.
"Congratulations." Jiang Yue said with a smile. At the same time, she slowed down her pace and her eyes met with Ye Chen's.
The latter was defeated again.
"Jiang Yue, there are still the prefectural exam and the academy exam. Let's wait and see!"
Jiang Yue: "Let's take the palace exam again!" This time, Jiang Yue has it decided.
So, what place did she get in the exam?
"Hmph, a mere little kid wants to stand out. Isn't that a fantasy?" Jiang Yue suddenly heard a disdainful remark. Turning back, she saw a young man in his twenties looking at her with disdain.
Ye Chen...is there anyone more arrogant than him?
Jiang Yue looked at the other person, and there was obvious anger on the other person's face.
Jiang Yue felt confused for a moment, and when the crowd was dispersed, she raised her eyes to look at the list.
"Who is number six?" the man in his twenties began to ask again.
Who on earth wants to snatch the top spot from him?
"Xiaoliu, what's your number?" Jiang Erni asked anxiously.
Jiang Yue smiled but said nothing.
“I made the list!”
After hearing these three words, the sisters fixed their eyes on the list and became excited instantly.
"I made the list..." Liu Chunfeng stood there in a daze for a moment, unable to speak for a long time.
Passing the Xiaoliu County Examination was just the beginning, but she suddenly felt a little nervous.
Liu looked at Jiang Yue again and said, "Impossible, impossible." No matter what, it is impossible for a young child to be in the top 20.
"Mom, Xiaoliu came before me." Zhao Tiancheng pulled Liu's sleeve, signaling her not to say anything more.
"impossible!"
"How is it impossible!" Liu Chunfeng temporarily suppressed her excitement. She heard from Jiang Yue that he had passed the provincial examination and was admitted as a student, so she couldn't be happy too soon.
When Liu Chunfeng learned the test results, she smiled widely and directly surpassed Liu, who was standing beside her and was very excited because she had just learned that her son had passed the county exam.
Jiang Yue only smiled at her grandmother and sisters:
"Grandma, sisters, let's go."
On the way back, the two families separated.
As it was still early, Jiang Yue, her grandmother and sisters strolled around casually to relax.
The second sister couldn't bear it anymore.
"Xiao Liu, what place did you get in the exam?"
When the second sister asked this question, the other sisters were all very curious.
"Jiang Yue, what is there to hide?" Ye Chen chased after him on the road.
"Just second to the first place in the case, such a glorious title, I don't believe you can be so humble."
Liu Chunfeng was thinking, does the title of the first in the county mean the first?
My sisters all had the same doubt.
Turning her head, she saw the young man looking angrily at Jiang Yue again.
"Is it you? A country bumpkin?"
His sinister eyes flashed across, and Jiang Yue inexplicably saw a strong hostility in his eyes.
She looked at Ye Chen with displeasure. What does it mean that the first bird to stick its head out gets shot? The imperial examination is like a battlefield.
In other words, until you have absolute strength to protect yourself, try to keep a low profile.
Grandma and sisters' expressions also changed instantly.
Before the second sister got angry,
Ye Chen looked at the young man in front of him with pride and displeasure.
"You actually look down on peasants? The root of governance is agriculture, and the governance of the world. Farming is the foundation of the country. I didn't expect that you couldn't even learn the most basic Thousand Character Classic."
He responded with the same words that Jiang Yue had used to attack him.
Grandma and the sisters' expressions returned to their normal colors.
"Hmph!" The young man was filled with jealousy and had nothing to say. He turned around and left angrily.
After he left, Ye Chen looked at Jiang Yue awkwardly.
"Do you know why he hates you?"
"It's all because of you." Jiang Yue replied unhappily. She felt that her second place was also very good this time.
"Originally, the examiner was wavering between your paper and his. But because of what the county magistrate said, Jiang Yue had already achieved such a result before he reached adulthood. Although Su Xin's essay was good, it was far inferior to that of a child. But considering his age, the first place was given to him. Therefore, his first place was almost denied."
Grandma and my sisters were completely confused.
"Is that so?" Jiang Yue was skeptical.
"Ye Chen, what is your relationship with the county magistrate? How do you know everything?"
"I guessed." Ye Chen had an expression that said, "I know everything," which made Jiang Yue not want to pay any attention to him.
"Just do what you need to do."
Jiang Yue said goodbye to Ye Chen and went to the restaurant with her grandmother and sisters.
On the way, seeing the crowded crowd ahead, the fourth sister couldn't resist her curiosity and trotted into the crowd. Grandma couldn't catch her and could only trot after her.
"Xiao Si, this is a county town, don't be reckless."
Jiang Yue and the other sisters were also forced to jog after him.
After entering the crowded crowd, they realized that they had come to an embroidery building.
In the embroidery building, a woman in red with her face covered by a veil and holding an embroidered ball in her hand was looking back and forth at the serious men under the embroidery building.
Jiang Yue watched it and never expected that today she would have the chance to see the spectacular scene of the embroidery building seeking a bride.
Not only the sisters were very interested in this scene, but even grandma was looking at the rich girl in the embroidery building carefully, wanting to know who her lucky son-in-law would be today.
"That young lady is so beautiful. Look at her aura. That's what a lady from a noble family should look like." Jiang Sini was very envious.
Looking at the men beside her running around following the movements of the embroidery ball, she really wanted to stand on the embroidery platform and choose a good husband like the young ladies from wealthy families.
So she squeezed into the middle of the crowd and joined in the fun.
Jiang Yue and her grandmother and sisters were once again forced to follow.
Unexpectedly, Hydrangea didn't wait, but suddenly there was a scream.
"what……"
Suddenly, a young man was thrown out.
Jiang Sini...she was throwing the bouquet, but why did she throw out a young man?
Jiang Yue raised her eyes and wondered, whose naughty boy is this?
The men around were stunned and all reached out to catch it...
The young lady in the embroidery building was suddenly at a loss.
Grandma and the sisters were so frightened that they didn't know what to do. They wanted to try to catch it, but they didn't have the strength or accuracy to do so.
The young man fell down at such a speed that he smashed straight into the direction of Jiang Sini in an instant.
Jiang Sini was panicked. What kind of luck did she have?
Fortunately, Jiang Yue rescued her in time.
Seeing that the young master was about to be smashed to pieces, Jiang Yue steadied himself and did not dodge. In an instant, he caught the young master with both arms.
But it was only a moment, and the two of them rolled to the ground at the same time.
Jiang Sini, who was standing beside him, was accidentally bumped by the young master and fell to the ground. At this moment, she was glaring at the young master.
"It's killing you!"
The young master was trembling and feeling uncomfortable in many parts of his body. At the moment, he was looking at Jiang Sini and Jiang Yue, his mind went blank and he was speechless.
Suddenly, bursts of applause came from all around Jiang Yue.
"This kid is really skilled!"
"Could it be that he is here to grab the hydrangea as well?"
"how is this possible?"
"If that's the case, we don't stand a chance."
"..."
Miss Xiulou's expression relaxed slightly, and she thought that it would be better if the child downstairs was a few years older.
At the same time, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes came running over in a panic. When he saw that the child was safe and sound, he did not even glance at Jiang Yue, but only glared at the young master.
"Dad, someone pushed me down." The young man regained consciousness. His face was pale, and he was obviously frightened by what had just happened.
Unexpectedly, he was slapped hard in the face by his father, and was knocked dizzy.
This slap from him made the Jiang family's sisters feel uncomfortable.
This child fell from the building. Shouldn't we check first to see if he was hurt?
Then, he took the young master and left.
