On the day the results were announced, Zimu truly witnessed the scene of catching a son-in-law under the list, especially Qi Heng and Liang Han, who both took a lot of effort to break out of the encirclement.

"Sister Zimu, I passed the imperial examination and ranked 19th on the list." After seeing his name on the list, Qi Heng asked Buwei to give it to Duke Qi and Princess Pingning first.

Zi Mu looked at the excited Qi Heng and sincerely congratulated him on his success in the imperial examination: "Congratulations, Brother Yuan Ruo."

Qi Heng could not hide his excitement and specially invited Zimu to go to Fanlou to celebrate together.

"Hey? Not today. You are not the only one who passed the imperial examination. We can understand that you are happy, but it is not right for you to kidnap my sister." Chang Feng directly stopped Qi Heng from approaching his sister.

"Brother Yuanruo, the Duke and Princess Pingning may also be waiting for you to celebrate. Let's celebrate with Brothers Two and Three another day."

"Okay, Sister Zimu is right. I will listen to Sister Zimu." Qi Heng was so happy that he didn't know what to say.

He had previously discussed with the Duke of Qi and Princess Pingning that as long as he passed the imperial examination this time, the Duke of Qi and his wife would personally go to the Sheng family to propose marriage.

After the Sheng family agrees, Princess Pingning will go to the palace to ask the emperor and Queen Cao for permission to marry her.

Liang Han looked at Rulan, who was standing beside Madam Wang so obediently, and he managed to chat with her for a few more words with a nonchalant attitude.

Not to mention Gu Tingye, the wolf with sharp claws. The way he looked at Minglan almost materialized, like a black-hearted wolf who just wanted to take the rabbit back to his nest and raise it.

Changbai and Changfeng looked at their three classmates of many years and felt depressed. The three classmates stared at their three younger sisters.

Changbai and Changfeng, the two older brothers, could not bear this, but they did not have time to think about it and were pulled aside by Madam Wang and Lin Qinshuang.

Madam Wang and Lin Qinshuang hugged their two sons so excitedly that they almost cried out loud. The names of their two sons were on the A list.

"Madams, let's go home and talk. We have to go home quickly." Old Man Sheng was also excited, but he was concerned about his influence as a clean civil servant. He felt very uncomfortable being suppressed outside, so he quickly urged Madam Wang and Lin Qinshuang to go home.

"Yes, your Excellency is right. We must quickly tell mother the news that Changbai and Changfeng have passed the imperial examinations, so that she can be happy too."

After returning to the Sheng Mansion, the whole family gathered together and had a great time.

Madam Wang and Lin Qinshuang could no longer hold back their tears of joy, and Old Madam Sheng couldn't stop smiling.

Changbai and Changfeng talked about their exam experiences and everyone listened with great interest.

Especially when Changbai said that the Imperial Examination Hall would check the personal belongings of the examinees, only the knee pads worn by Young Master Qi and Changfeng stood out.

The family laughed even more happily, and no one cared about Zimu's face.

The Sheng family was setting off firecrackers and having a family banquet, and the servants and Old Man Sheng were very busy.

Rulan secretly glanced at Zimu and Minglan, and remembered that when she was looking at the list just now, Liang Han had talked to her for no reason. Liang Han was not bad looking to begin with, not to mention that he had been studying at Sheng's academy for many years, so it was okay for him to say that they were childhood sweethearts.

Minglan quickly noticed Rulan's gaze, and looking at her fifth sister's slightly red face, she knew what was going on.

Although Liang Han has a half-brother who is quite capable and ambitious, Lord Liang, the Earl of Yongchang, obviously prefers Liang Han, the legitimate son born to Madam Wu.

In addition, Liang Han passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi at his first try, so Lord Liang and Madam Wu began to discuss how much thank-you gift to give to the Sheng family on the carriage on their way back home.

Minglan thought that compared to the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion, the Gu Family, and the Yongchang Earl's Mansion, the Liang Family was also a family worth marrying into, except for an ambitious illegitimate eldest son.

Gu family...Gu Tingye. Minglan knew what Gu Tingye thought of her, but her fourth sister seemed to look down on the Gu family. What should she do?

The Sheng Mansion was filled with laughter and joy, and everyone was immersed in this joy.

The next day, Hualan and Yongyi Houfu also returned to the Sheng family to congratulate their two younger brothers. After Yongyi Hou brought his wife, son, daughter-in-law, and grandson Hualan and his wife to the Sheng family, the Sheng family celebrated again for their two high school sons.

On the third day, the Duke of Qi's Mansion, the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion, and the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion came in person with gifts to express their gratitude as if they had made an appointment.

After seeing how the Sheng brothers and sisters get along with each other, and how Old Man Sheng gets along with Madam Wang and Madam Lin Qinshuang, Gu Tingye realized early on that something was wrong with the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion.

In addition, after several recollections and secret investigations with Nanny Chang, it was found that although Xiao Qinshi's flattery did not play a big role, Gu Tingye's reputation when he was young was not very good.

As the legitimate son of Lady Bai, Gu Tingye had a falling out with Xiao Qinshi early on, making it impossible for Xiao Qinshi to carry out many of her schemes against him. Even his brother Gu Tingyu, who was left behind by Da Qinshi, became estranged from him early on.

They no longer talked about everything, and Gu Tingyu no longer spread the words that Gu Tingye stood up for others to affect his performance in the imperial examination.

Gu Tingye can be said to be a loner in Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion. Apart from Ningyuan Marquis, Gu Tingye is too lazy to pay attention to anyone else and has no intention of chatting with them.

Lord Gu didn't even bother to care about the Gu family after Daqin passed away. Lord Gu was really happy when Gu Tingye passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi.

He prepared a generous thank-you gift for Gu Tingye and took Gu Tingye to the Sheng family to express his gratitude.

The day before, when Lord Gu heard Gu Tingye tell him that he wanted to ask the sixth daughter of the Sheng family to be his future wife, he was stunned for a moment and then nodded in agreement after seeing his son's determined expression.

Gu Tingyu, the eldest son born to his first wife Da Qin, was too sick to take the imperial examinations, let alone join the army. Gu Tingwei, the third son born to Xiao Qin, seemed to have been spoiled since childhood. At such a young age, he had no interest in studying and only cared about eating, drinking and playing.

Only Gu Tingye, the son of a wealthy businessman from Yangzhou whom he had no choice but to marry in order to keep the Gu family's title, is a rare all-round talent in both literature and martial arts.

Lord Gu thought that since he could not be with the person he loved the most, it would be fine if his son didn't have someone he loved. If he did, he would not try to stop him too much.

Not to mention that in addition to Princess Jinyang, the Sheng family also has a high prestige in the army. With the support of Princess Jinyang and the Sheng family's private school, the Sheng family's reputation has been raised time and time again.

After Princess Pingning and Madam Wu arrived at the Sheng family, they went to the old lady in Shou'an Hall with Madam Wang.

Mrs. Wu also met the fifth daughter of the Sheng family, whom her son often mentioned, in Shou'an Hall. She was delighted by this cheerful and lively girl.

Princess Pingning also had a pleasant conversation with Madam Wang and Lin Qinshuang.

As Princess Pingning, she could have ignored Lin Qinshuang, but she was Zimu's biological mother and a ninth-rank lady personally appointed by the emperor. Naturally, she couldn't act like a princess when she was seeking marriage for her son.

Old Lady Sheng drank her tea, looked at Princess Pingning and Madam Wu's eyes and conversation, smiled and said nothing more.
