Chapter 349 Champion Lang
Fang Xinyu saw the third uncle, the third aunt, and the two younger sisters. Although he was puzzled, he hurried forward to join hands, and said in a low voice, "Third uncle, third aunt, why are you here?"
Liu Zhihua ignored him, and hurriedly looked at the old man behind with a smile, and said excitedly, "Hello, my master. I am Wang Qiusheng's mother. I heard you guys discussing this exam. I don't know if anyone is on the list." My son Qiusheng."
Master Li looked at the group of them with friendly eyes, nodded and smiled, and didn't answer. Instead, he looked at his beloved disciple and asked, "Hanzhi, Master, I heard that you called them third uncle and third aunt."
Fang Xinyu clasped his fists and nodded and replied, "Exactly, this is the elder of Tuer's wife's family."
Master Li stroked his beard with a smile, and smiled heartily, "Okay, okay!"
Fang Xinyu was taken aback.
Wang Zhuangzhi looked at the old man excitedly when he heard that, could it be that Qiusheng was on the list?
Bao Ya pulled her mother to look at the old gentleman excitedly, her delicate eyes were bright, and she asked in a playful voice, "Old man, but I guessed right?"
Master Li looked at the little girl with black hair and snow skin in front of him, and said with a smile, "You girl guessed right. The name of the champion this time is Wang Qiusheng."
"Wow, that's great!"
Baoya looked excited, picked up Jiaojiao and jumped up on the spot, "I knew that big brother is the best!"
"Ouch! I, this,"
Liu Zhihua was so excited that she was a little incoherent, she hurriedly clasped her hands and worshiped the gods everywhere, and shouted excitedly: "Gods of all walks of life, bless you, our old Wang's family unexpectedly produced a number one scholar!"
Wang Zhuangzhi’s hands trembled with excitement, but he was afraid of making a mistake, so he looked at Master Li and asked worriedly: “Old Master, are you talking about an 18-year-old boy whose surname is Wang and whose name is Qiusheng?”
"No mistake, it's him." Master Li said with a smile.
"Great!"
Wang Zhuangzhi waved to everyone excitedly and shouted: "It's my son, it's really my son, our Qiusheng is the number one scholar this time!"
Fang Xinyu was a little dazed, and then he realized that a touch of joy floated in his heart, and hurriedly cupped his fists and congratulated him: "Congratulations, third uncle and third aunt!"
When other people heard about it, they also wanted to make friends with the family members of the newly promoted champion. They all came forward to congratulate with fawning faces.
"Congratulations Mrs. Wang, Master Wang..."
The Wang family was surrounded in the center in an instant, and people from the famous family also praised it one after another.
Old Madam Fang was helped out by the maid, followed by Madam Li and Li Xianlan who was wearing a veil. Li Xianlan lowered her head and her eyes were full of sadness.
She already knew from her mother's mouth how ugly she was yesterday, and even pulled a servant to treat him as her cousin, and she was bumped into by her cousin in this scene.
A trump card she was so proud of was completely lost.
"Luhe, why are there a group of people in front?"
Madam Fang looked in the direction of the main hall, and saw a group of people surrounded by the door, the voices were still very noisy and chaotic.
The servant girl beside him hurriedly said: "Perhaps it is the honored guest of the uncle, the servant girl is going to see if it is there."
Old Madam Fang waved her hand, and the servant girl quickly ran over there.
Mrs. Li stepped forward to take the place of the maid, raised her hand to support her sister, and praised with a smile: "Sister, Xinyu is really promising, look at how many guests are here."
Old Madam Fang glanced at her sister, thinking that Xin'er didn't want to see them, she pulled her arm out of her hand, and said casually: "Well, Xin'er is naturally good, sister and Xianlan go to sit in the next hall first."
Ms. Li's face was awkward, she stretched out her hand in the air and retracted it, and it was not right to continue to hold it.
Li Xianlan saw her mother like this, bit her lower lip, stepped forward to support her, and said in a low voice: "Mother, let's go to the side hall."
Ms. Li clenched her fists tightly, still pretending to be polite, she nodded with her sister, took her daughter's hand and said, "Okay, Xianlan will accompany the mother."
The two of them were just about to leave when the maid Luhe from just now came back.
The servant girl looked hurried, and hurriedly said: "Madam, it sounds like a relative in our family has won the number one prize."
Old Madam Fang was taken aback for a moment, and Madam Li and Li Xianlan were also taken aback.
Old Madam Fang hurriedly turned her head to hold her younger sister's hand, and said excitedly, "Oh, younger sister, Wenjun's child is really promising, and he really won the number one prize!"
Mrs. Li was also taken aback by this huge surprise, she was taken aback, and then stammered: "My son won? He won the number one prize!"
Mrs. Fang nodded with a smile, embraced him affectionately and said, "No, Wen Jun is a promising child, and you will be blessed, sister, in the future."
Li Xianlan on the side showed excitement, and held on to her mother's arm tightly, with great joy in her heart, she kept muttering: "That's great, that's great..."
The elder brother became the number one scholar, so she will be the number one scholar's younger sister, and she will be able to meet more high-ranking officials and nobles in the future, and the fear and loss in her heart will be swept away.
Seeing her aunt fawning over her mother, a smug look flashed in her eyes, and her chin couldn't help but raise.
Li Xianlan said deliberately with a smile: "Mother, let's go to the next hall, and we can talk after my aunt finishes her work."
Before Mrs. Li could react, Mrs. Fang looked slightly embarrassed.
Immediately, she looked at her niece, and said with a gentle smile, "Oh, why are you going to the side hall? Let's go to the main hall and let Xin'er introduce you to everyone. We have the mother and sister of the champion man in our house. Let's go to the main hall." Old Li's family has counted a celebrity, and these high-ranking officials and nobles are also bound to curry favor."
Li Xianlan raised her chin, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "I thought my aunt didn't want to see Xianlan anymore, but my aunt didn't talk to me this morning, but she scared me."
Mrs. Fang looked a little embarrassed. It is true that because of yesterday's incident, she was no longer ready to have hope for this niece, so she was inevitably left in the cold this morning.
But who would have thought that his elder brother would really win the first prize.
Mrs. Fang hurriedly smiled and coaxed: "Xianlan, aunt is too busy this morning, we are all one family, don't pay attention to those things, after today's full moon banquet is over, aunt will take you to go shopping in the street. Don't you like white jade and jadeite bracelets, Aunt Qianming'er will give you a complete set."
When Li Xianlan heard this, a look of disdain flashed in her eyes, that piece of jewelry was only thirty taels of silver, and the whole set was only one hundred taels.
His elder brother has won the number one prize now, so his official position must not be low, he has a salary and a mansion, and there will be many places to make money in the future, so she doesn't care about these crap.
Li Xianlan put on airs, and said casually: "Auntie is polite, I won't bother Auntie for those worthless things. The eldest brother must have a reward for the top prize, and we can buy it ourselves."
Old Madam Fang frowned when she saw her niece like this, "Xianlan, you..."
"Auntie, let's go to the front hall, after all, you are also the aunt of Zhuangyuan Lang."
Li Xianlan interrupted her directly with a polite face, but lost the original respect.
In the past, the reason to please my aunt was for the gold and silver jewelry and my cousin. I didn't expect my aunt to be so snobbish, and she would drive people aside when she saw that they were useless. Now that she has reliance, she naturally doesn't have to be respectful to her.
