Liu Rujing noticed that the old lady suddenly mentioned Jiang Chen, and she quickly said:

"Old madam, how can Jiang Chen compare with Feng'er? It's not that I prefer my own children. Even if Jiang Chen studies for a few more years, he still won't be able to catch up to half of Feng'er. Our Feng'er has been smart and smart since he was a child, and he is good at studying. Work hard and he's fine now. He is ranked No. 30 on the gold list. From now on, he can join the court as an official at a young age. Things like this kind of honoring the ancestors will all depend on the peak in the future. Do you think I am right? Old lady."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the loud sound of gongs and drums coming from outside.

I saw a servant running over from outside quickly and said:

"Old madam, madam, the person with the good news is here. Our young master has won the first prize."

The old lady and Liu Ruyi were shocked by the sudden news.

As soon as they heard that Jiang Feng won the first prize, they all agreed in unison.Stand up immediately.

Liu Ruyi said to the servant with a face full of surprise:

"Did you read that correctly? Didn't the young master win No. 30? How come he is now the top pick?"

Jiang Yingxue also came to the man in confusion and said:

"Did you look carefully? The eldest young master really won the top prize?"

The servant's face flushed with excitement, and he said firmly to Jiang Yingxue:

"Miss, is this still fake? The sign written by the person who reported the salary is written in big words, "Inscribed on the gold list, the number one scholar has returned. Don't I even recognize the word number one scholar?"

When Liu Ruyi heard this, she came to the old lady very excitedly and said:

"Old madam, my Feng'er is the number one scholar. He is the number one scholar. That's great. Come on, please roll out the red carpet, set off firecrackers, and invite the people who want to be rewarded."

The man agreed and ran out quickly.

There was a lot of excitement outside the gate of the Hou Mansion, and the sound of gongs and drums was loud.The sound of firecrackers mixed with the crackling came one after another, attracting people watching the excitement, rushing to the gate of the Hou Mansion.

The servants in Lianhou's mansion were all chasing after each other and poured out of the door to watch the fun.

The servant came to the housekeeper Liu Neng who was standing at the door and conveyed the oral instructions. Liu Neng said to the person who reported the salary:

"Sir, our old lady has invited you, please come in with me."

The rewarder was enthusiastically led into the hall by Liu Neng.I saw the rewarder holding the good news in his hand. He took a step forward and saluted the old lady:

"Congratulations to the old madam. Your young master is so talented that he has been named on the gold medal list. He also dominates the Jinluan Palace and has been selected as the number one scholar by the emperor's imperial pen. It is really gratifying and congratulatory. Congratulations, congratulations."

At this time, the old lady was extremely happy.

To have a top scholar in your family is a blessing that has been cultivated for generations in the Hou family.

She took the good news from the messenger's hand, and her old face looked like a blooming flower.

He said to the person who reported the salary:

"Congratulations, congratulations. It's really hard work for you as an official. Come on, please give me a reward."

Liu Neng held out the silver reward that he had prepared long ago and distributed it to the people who came to deliver the good news one by one.

The rewarder thanked the old lady for the reward, and the servants also came up in groups to congratulate the old lady and Liu Ruyi.

The old lady was very happy, and everyone rewarded her with silver.

At this time, after hearing the news that Jiang Feng won the top prize, relatives and friends rushed over in time.

Liu Ruyi was surrounded by many people like a star holding the moon.

She was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and she fawned over everyone and greeted the people who were congratulating her.

Looking at the envious eyes directed at her, her head was raised higher, and even her back was straight.

For a time, the Hou Mansion was full of people and lively.

Jiang Liang, who was not paying attention at this time, saw the good news and was put on the table by his grandmother.

He was curious about what was written in the good news about the new top pick.

He carefully opened the good news.

At a glance, he saw that what was written on it was not his eldest brother Jiang Feng's name at all.

But it was the name of the idiot second brother, Jiang Chen. He quickly came to Jiang Yingxue and said:

"Sister, isn't Jiang Chen's name written on this good news? Is this a mistake?"

Jiang Yingxue hurriedly snatched the good news from his hand. Jiang Chen's name was clearly written on it.

Jiang Yingxue looked at her mother surrounded by the crowd and wondered for a moment whether she should tell Liu Ruyi about this.

While she was dazed, Jiang Liang took out the good news from her hand, ran to Liu Ruyi and said:

"Mom, there's a mistake, there's a mistake. The one who wins the top prize is not my eldest brother, but my second brother Jiang Chen."

Jiang Liang's words made everyone quiet down instantly.Liu Ruyi's eyes were wide open. She stared blankly at Jiang Liang in front of her. It took a long time to come back to her senses. She yelled at Jiang Liang:

"You kid, what are you talking about? The good news clearly belongs to your eldest brother. Did you come here to cause trouble on purpose?"

At this time, after listening to Jiang Liang's words, the old lady was supported by two girls and came over.

She said to Jiang Liang:

"Liang'er, what were you talking about just now?"

Jiang Liang held the good news in front of the old lady and said:

"Grandma, but this good news is clearly written about Jiang Chen. Did you make a mistake and take this as the good news for your elder brother Jiang Feng?"

The old lady doubtfully took the good news from Jiang Liang and saw that it was Jiang Chen's name written on it.

At this time, Bao Luren, who was drinking tea at the side, heard everyone's discussion and walked over here.

Liu Ruyi awkwardly pointed at the good news from Da Hong and asked the reporter:

"Private officer, whose good news does it belong to you?"

The rewarder immediately raised his hands to her and said:

"Madam, it is clearly written on it that it is Jiang Chen, the young master of the house. Because Mr. Jiang won the first prize, I was the first one to announce the good news. Is there anything wrong with this? Then you think this is Whose good news is it?”

At this time, the old lady immediately understood what was going on.She was afraid that Liu Ruyi would be embarrassed, so she quickly came to the rescue and said:

"Yes, it was not sent by mistake. Jiang Chen is the eldest son of our Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and my grandson. How could it be sent by mistake?"

After hearing the news, he was relieved. If the good news about the number one scholar was sent to the wrong person, how would he communicate with the emperor when he went back?

At this time, there was another loud sound of gongs and drums outside.The servant quickly ran outside to see the situation. He came back immediately and said to the old lady:

"Old madam, there is another team outside to report their salary. This should be good news for the eldest son."

The old lady turned and sat on the chair. She turned around and said to her relatives and friends:

"It seems that our family is blessed with double happiness today. Please quickly invite the person who will repay the salary to come in."

The servant agreed and ran out quickly, only to see another team coming in to announce the good news.

This time the man held up the bright red good news in his hand, and the crowd made way for a path.

The rewarder read loudly as he walked:

"Good news, good news. Your son Jiang Feng has been selected as No. 30 Jinshi by the emperor. Please accept the good news."

Jiang Liang quickly stepped forward to catch it, turned around and immediately put it into the old lady's hands.

The old lady took a look at the good news, immediately raised her head and said:

"Today we have a double happiness in Jiang Mansion, which is really gratifying. Everyone here today has double the money for the wedding. The Hou Mansion will hold running banquets for three days in a row. All relatives and friends are also invited to come and have a drink."

At this time, Liu Ruyi was very embarrassed in front of her relatives and friends.

She never thought that this year's top pick would be a fool like Jiang Chen.

And her son Jiang Feng, whom she has always been proud of, only got No. 30 and second place in the exam.

There really is no comparison, there is no harm.

At this time, she seemed to have been seen through by everyone.I feel a little embarrassed.
