On the day the results were announced, the officials in the capital would inform them in advance.
Those who were informed were the top three, those who were expected to be the Zhuangyuan, Bangyan and Tanhua in the palace examination.
"Grandmother, it must be my eldest brother," Ye Jin took two steps forward and held the old lady's arm, "Jin niang congratulates grandmother and mother in advance."
"Reward, all of you will be heavily rewarded!" Ye shi also spoke happily. While instructing the officials to open the door to welcome the good news, she also asked people to prepare the rewards.
The Ye family was so busy that no one had the time to pay attention to Mei Yiniang.
Some were busy tidying up the incense table, and some were busy congratulating Ye Shaoming.
Ye Jin passed by Mei Yiniang and glanced at her. Then, without stopping, he went to help the old lady again.
The official who announced the good news wore an official robe and held a gong with red silk hanging in his hand, "Congratulations Old Madam, the fourth young master of your family has once again won the first place in the imperial examination. Congratulations, congratulations!"
The smile on Ye shi's mouth instantly froze.
Ye Shaoming opened his mouth and froze in place.
Old Madam was also startled. Although it wasn't Ye Shaoming, it was still a descendant of the Ye family. She excitedly put her hands together, "Good! This generation of the Ye family is promising. Housekeeper, reward! Daren, stay for a wedding banquet? "
Although the housekeeper was respectful, he still prepared a bag full of money and gave it to the official who announced the good news.
The official weighed it and roughly knew the number in the pouch. He smiled, "Thank you, Old Madam, but I still have to go to the next family."
Getting the first place in the imperial examination, no matter how bad it was, it wouldn't be worse than the first place in the imperial examination.
Basically, it wasn't much different from the final ranking of the imperial examination.
Therefore, these officials would compete to report the rankings of the imperial examination and the imperial examination.
"Wait, Official Daren," Ye shi saw that after the official finished talking about Ye Shaoming, he didn't mention Ye Shaoming anymore. Now that he was about to leave, she couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Is there no one else? Are you forgetting something? "
The official was stunned, "Madam, is there anyone else …"
"It's okay, my daughter-in-law is just too happy," Old Madam glanced at him and then said to the official, "Daren, you can go to the next family."
The official nodded, cupped his hands, and left.
Madam Ye still looked at him, unwilling to give up. In the end, when they were about to leave, the officials did not say anything.
The surrounding sisters-in-law were all congratulating her. Madam Ye pretended to be happy, but in fact, her heart was twisted into a ball.
The old woman who had served her for many years immediately saw that something was wrong with Ye Shi's face. She immediately supported her and helped her calm down.
The second branch of the Ye family saw her like this, can not help but sneer.
She had long been unhappy with the people of the first branch. When they separated from the family, the Ye family was stingy. Later, when Ye Shaoming was accepted as a disciple by Lord Tanhua, she was overjoyed and praised Ye Shaoming all day long.
Look at it now? Even a son of a concubine could do better than that "Civil Star"!
Although the second branch hated the first branch, seeing Lady Mei's son make Ye shi so angry, she felt much better.
The old lady also frowned and glanced at Ye shi. She looked okay on weekdays. Why was she abnormal now?
"Mei YiNiang, you really gave birth to a good son." She withdrew her gaze and then condescended to hold Mei YiNiang's hand. Her face was smiling like a chrysanthemum. "Quick, send someone to invite the master back. This is an important matter today."
Lady Mei was still being ridiculed and ridiculed just now.
Now hearing that Ye Shaohua had won the first place in the exam, the sisters-in-law and the collateral relatives who had just been nitpicking suddenly changed their faces.
Each and every one of them wished they could take out their hearts to curry favor.
In recent days, Lady Mei was used to the sneering attitude of the people around her, especially her sisters-in-law. It was not rare for the fickleness of the world to happen.
At the moment, she only curled her lips at this sudden flattery.
But she did not expect that her daughter would be admitted to Huiyuan again?
To be honest, she was really happy that she got the first place again, but … Lady Mei was even more fortunate that her daughter was not a man at all. If she got the first place in the palace exam in a few days and the emperor wanted to give her a marriage, what should she do?
Concubine Mei was deeply worried.
And Ye Jin, who was still standing in the hall, was at a loss.
Chun 'er pursed her lips. "Third Miss, Fourth Young Master got the first place …"
This was not the last Jieyuan, but the Huiyuan. There was not much difference between the Huiyuan and the palace exam, and the Fourth Young Master was still so young. After the palace exam, it was almost certain that he would be in the top three.
Third Miss was very likely to be the sister of the top scholar.
If she was the sister of the top scholar, there was almost no difference between her and the eldest daughter of the Di family.
Chun 'er could think of this, how could Ye Jin not?
Ye Jin's nails fiercely embedded into her palm. Last time, she had a chance to make up with Lady Mei, but Ye Jin resented Lady Mei for being timid and cowardly from the beginning.
When she was a child, she hated Ye Shaohua and Lady Mei the most. Both of them were timid and cowardly. They knew how to suffer when they encountered something.
Especially Ye Shaohua, a man could learn anything, but he actually followed Lady Mei to read the precepts for women?
Therefore, Ye Jin was determined to stay away from these two people.
But who would have thought that … the fourth brother that she did not think highly of would turn the tables? Not only did he turn the tables, but he also got the first place!
"Third Miss, you have to think about it," Chun 'er went out and inquired about the news outside, "This is related to your future marriage, and the words that you said to Lady Mei before … I don't know if Lady Mei will see you …"
Chun 'er originally wanted to persuade Ye Jin, but in the end, she sighed.
Not to mention whether Third Miss would think it through, the words that Ye Jin said to Lady Mei again and again before, the mother and daughter must have already left.
Ye Jin sat in the room and thought for a long time. Finally, she decided, "Chun 'er, take my new glass cup and go see Lady Mei."
