Chapter 947： What a treasure!

Chapter 947 What a treasure!

“Miss, I’m so happy, so happy!”

On weekdays in the palace, Shui Ling and Shui Yun would try to call them princess, and would only call them miss in private.

At this moment, Shui Ling has forgotten even this, which shows that she is really crazy with joy.

Jiayin stood up suddenly, stepped forward and asked, "My eldest brother got the top prize in the exam?"

"Yes, yes!" Shui Ling nodded desperately and said after taking a breath, "The emperor selected the eldest young master to be the number one scholar in the hall! Everyone praised the eldest young master's article!"

Jiayin jumped up immediately, with flowers blooming on her happy face.

“My eldest brother is great, hahaha, my eldest brother is the top pick!”

The third princess was also happy and said over and over again, "I told you not to worry. Your eldest brother is so powerful, how could he not be the top scholar!"

After saying that, she held back her blush and asked Shuiling again, "Where are the others, such as your sixth young master, and...others?"

Shui Ling responded, "The emperor only selected the eldest young master to be the number one scholar. The rest will have to wait for the emperor's careful review before ranking."

The third princess was disappointed, but she couldn't express it.

At this time, the maids waiting around came forward to salute and congratulate him.

With a wave of good news, one person was rewarded with two taels of silver, which made everyone smile with joy.

For a time, Zhilan Palace was as lively as the New Year.

As the sun set in the west, as the students came out of the palace, the news spread quickly.

The whole new capital is curious and envious of the newly-minted champion.

Someone said, "If you have a rich family, it's better to have a good son."

Others echoed, "Yes, the Li family's ancestral graves are really smoking. This is the spirit of the ancestors in heaven protecting future generations."

“Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about high-yielding corn and potatoes. So many people went to Quanzhou, but they didn’t find it. How come they were discovered by the Li family?

“Now that the eldest grandson of the Li family has won the title of No. 1 Scholar, this is really a glorious achievement for his ancestors. From now on, he will be able to achieve great success, which will be great!”

Of course, some people are envious and others are jealous.

“Hmph, the boy from the Li family who won the first prize must have taken advantage of it! Who doesn’t know that the emperor has a special regard for the Li family?

“If the talent and learning of the boy from the Li family is on par with others, or even less than one and a half stars, then the emperor will definitely choose the boy from the Li family to be the number one scholar. This is the benefit of having someone in the court!”

A sensible person can’t help but say something fair when he hears this.

"That's not what you said. Young Master Li entered the palace examination with the second highest score. Besides the emperor's review, there are so many important ministers. Could it be that they all show favoritism?

“Besides, the Li family deserves the favor of the emperor. Not to mention how many people in Tianwu have been saved by high-yield food, but who of the children and grandchildren of the Li family are not promising?

“Now two have passed the palace examination, and even the eldest son Li won the title of number one scholar. Even the other young masters of the Li family also have serious errands, whether they are killing Japanese pirates or sending envoys to foreign countries.

“Who wouldn’t like a family like this who protects their family and country and is loyal and loyal! Not to mention the emperor, even I am proud of it.

“This time the eldest son of the Li family won the first prize, I don’t know if the Li family will open a flowing banquet? Whenever there is a banquet, I will definitely send generous gifts and ask for a cup of wedding wine to be happy.”

I have to say that there are still many discerning people in the world.

Although villains are unavoidable, they cannot always form the main theme of the world.

By the time the sun went down, the voices of jealousy could no longer be heard in Xindu. They were all filled with envy and respect for the Li family.

At the Earl's Mansion, a banquet was held that night. Mr. Hou, Li Lao Er, Li Lao San and Li Lao Si who came back from a long way, plus Jia Ren, Jia Huan and Brother Li, as well as the village chief, Liu Biaotou and Uncle Zhao who came from the village, as well as Liu Zhiheng, Mr. Peng, and Mr. Xing were all sitting there, all smiling.

Especially Mr. Xing, there are two more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

When his wife insisted on marrying his daughter to Li Jiaren, he was still hesitant.

Now it seems that my wife is simply too wise.

In the past two years, my son-in-law has been as filial to them as if he were himself. He is also gentle and considerate towards his daughter. In this exam, he directly won the first prize.

This is simply the highest honor for a scholar!

Throughout the afternoon, he was almost cooked by the envious looks of his colleagues.

He also unconsciously raised his head and raised his chest, smiling from ear to ear. His face was still sore at this moment.

What a treasure!

Li Laoer, the biological father, even hugged his son and cried loudly.

The regret of not being able to study when I was a boy and the sadness of supporting the family all came to my mind now, and I was finally relieved by the ecstasy of my son becoming the number one scholar.

“Son, you are my father’s pride. You have been sensible and smart since you were a child, so I couldn’t send you to study. My father was so worried that he couldn’t sleep at night. Fortunately, life at home is getting better. You went to the academy and had a husband.

“Dad is thinking that even if you can’t pass the Juren exam, even if you can pass the exam and become a scholar, you can help dad realize his dream.

“I didn’t expect you to be so promising. Number one scholar, you actually passed the exam! Wow, daddy is happy, daddy is so happy!”

Jiaren's eyes were red when he heard this. He hugged his father for a rare occasion and responded with choked sobs, "Dad, you are also the pride of my son. For so many years, you have taken care of the family and outside the home, being both father and mother. You have worked hard."

Li Laoer couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.

Jia Huan and Brother Li wiped their tears, and Li Laosan also turned his head and wiped the corners of his eyes, one after another.

It was the Marquis and everyone who quickly comforted him.

“It’s a great day, we should be happy.”

“Yes, it’s a pity that Mr. Wen is not here, otherwise he would be even happier.”

When Mr. Wen was mentioned, Li Laoer immediately wiped his tears and said, "Jiaren cannot be where he is today without Mr. Wen's teachings. We must wait for Mr. Wen to come back before opening the flowing water table."

Li Laosi smiled and said, "Second brother, don't worry, I have sent someone to greet Mr. Wen. If everything goes well, maybe he will be back tomorrow night."

"That's good, that's good." Li Laoer nodded and said, "And the academy, I must thank all the gentlemen."

At this time, Mr. Peng finally found a place to interrupt and responded, "Leave this job to me. The gentlemen in the academy are always thinking about our family's good things. I remember them all."

It's up to them to do what they like, and I'll just make a list when the time comes. "

Jiaren quickly thanked him, and Li Laosan said, "Then we will set up two tables in the cafeteria for a thank-you banquet, and let Jiahuan personally serve the dishes."

"Third brother, please invite all the students in the academy together. You Jiaren will also go back to the academy. We can't let those classmates watch the excitement and not be able to share the joy." Li Laoer generously asked , "I'll pay for it, you and Jia Huan can work hard and decide on a menu."

"Okay, it's rare for my second brother to be generous. I will definitely arrange the banquet." Li Laosan smiled honestly and agreed, making everyone laugh.

The banquet was about to begin, and everyone was changing glasses and changing glasses, laughing so much that it almost turned over the roof.

Wan'er and her maids and women were preparing to serve wine and food. Occasionally, she would stand under the eaves of the verandah and look at the moon in the sky. Her hands were shaking with excitement.

She is actually the first lady!

The power went out during the Chinese New Year, and it was not restored until 7:30. Huahua carried her computer all over the county looking for a place to update it. It was really indescribable. Sorry, guys, this is an unexpected situation. Tomorrow is a new week, let’s pay off what we owe first. Stay tuned!
