Chapter 791: Feeling Sad and Want to Cry
Qin Yao blocked with her arm, sweeping out a small empty space.
Liu Ji flattered his wife's mighty flattery while eagerly patting Awang.
"Quick! Hurry up and lift me up!"
The gold list was huge, with all the names of the first-class Jinshi on it, and the font was larger than the other two-class Jinshi lists.
It was easy to see clearly.
The remaining second-class and third-class lists were written in normal-sized notices and posted on the left and right sides of the gold list.
Liu Ji didn't bother to read those notices at all, he just wanted to see the gold pound.
But Awang had just lifted him up, and his eyes accidentally glanced at the second-class notice list.
The two familiar words "Liu Ji" hit him unexpectedly.
At that moment, Liu Ji's mind buzzed.
His name on the gold list, his wedding night, are gone?
While Liu Ji was still in a trance, Awang shouted in surprise:
"The master passed!"
"Madam! The master passed!"
Awang put Liu Ji down from his shoulders, raised his hand and pointed at the red list posted on the right wall, signaling Qin Yao to look quickly.
Qin Yao looked up and saw Liu Ji's name written on the third place of the second class of the first list.
She was a little surprised, waved away the crowd who tried to squeeze forward, came to the bottom of the list, and read it carefully twice.
The information on the list was indeed Liu Ji.
He really passed the imperial examination?
And the ranking was surprisingly good. Qin Yao looked back at Liu Ji with a look of realization on his face, and smiled sincerely: "I didn't expect you to pass the imperial examination."
Because he couldn't make the gold list, Liu Ji, who was extremely disappointed, immediately raised his head and asked expectantly:
"What did my wife say before?"
Qin Yao: "I keep my word, but you didn't make the gold list."
The expectation in Liu Ji's eyes disappeared instantly, and he looked at her aggrievedly at first.
Seeing that she was determined not to change her words, he could not help but punch the wall where the list was posted in anger.
It was impossible to blame himself, it was all someone else's fault.
Liu Ji cursed angrily: "It must be the bitch Sikong who made things difficult for me! It must be him!"
Otherwise, how could he not be on the list?
At this time, Awang had already run to the carriage and told Liu Feihai and others the news that Liu Ji had passed the imperial examination.
Everyone was surprised.
Erlang could not believe that his father could pass the imperial examination.
The twins looked at each other and could not help laughing out loud.
Their father was a jinshi.
In the future, they would be the sons and daughters of the jinshi master. If they told others, their classmates in the school would definitely envy them to death.
Only Liu Ji himself, who came back dejectedly behind Qin Yao, had a sad and angry face.
The young man clenched his fists at his sides, gnashing his teeth as he said, "Si Kong Jian, I, Liu Ji, will never forgive you!"
Yin Le and the others looked at each other in confusion.
He has passed the imperial examination and ranked so well, why is he not happy?
The puzzled people cast their eyes on Qin Yao, who spread her hands and smiled without saying anything.
Liu Ji hated her even more when he saw her smile.
Not only did he hate Si Kong Jian, he also hated the sky, the earth, and the air!
"I passed! I'm on the gold list!"
Ma Yang's excited voice came from the crowd.
He cried and laughed, running towards the only family he was familiar with, Qin Yao's family, just to share the joy and congratulate Liu Ji.
He had just seen that Young Master Qi was the first in the Jinbang without any surprise.
If nothing unexpected happened, it would be a natural thing for him to win the top prize in the palace examination.
And Master Liu, who ranked third in the second class, was an unexpectedly good result.
In the past, Ma Yang saw Liu Ji always being absent-minded and not paying attention to studying. If it weren't for the suppression of Young Master Qi, he would not be willing to pick up the book.
But who would have thought that he could get such an amazingly good score after a month of seclusion before the exam.
So, the great scholar must have his reasons for accepting disciples.
This Liu Ji is not a congenital genius, but a genius with unlimited potential!
"Mr. Liu, I am honored to be here."
Ma Yang was excited, his hands were trembling, and he smiled and bowed deeply to Liu Ji, deliberately calling him Mr. Liu to show his congratulations and excitement.
However, the other party not only did not reply, but snorted at him.
He lifted his robe, got into the carriage, and drove everyone out of the car.
He hugged himself and curled up in the corner of the carriage, feeling uncomfortable, wanting to cry, and didn't want to talk!
Ma Yang stood up awkwardly, looking around blankly, "This, this is what Qianzhi said, what's wrong? What's wrong with Master Liu..." After coming to his senses, Awang, the only one who knew the truth besides Qin Yao, patted Ma Yang's shoulder to comfort him. "It has nothing to do with you. My master is unhappy because he didn't pass the exam." "It's already very good to be ranked second and third, isn't it!" An envious voice came from behind everyone. Qin Yao and others looked back and found that it was Master Ding's family. It was Ding Shi who spoke. Ding Xiang smiled awkwardly, her brother hadn't passed the exam yet. So, seeing that Liu Ji was ranked third in the second class, he was still sad and wronged, and the young man was so depressed that he almost vomited blood. Master Ding had a good mentality. After all, except for geniuses like Qi Xianguan, it was rare for ordinary scholars to pass the exam continuously and get good grades. It was even more rare than a golden cake falling from the sky. Ding Shi came to the carriage window, knocked on the carriage, and comforted Liu Ji who was in deep sorrow: "This is already very good, I don't know how many people envy you, and you are still unhappy here." There was no response from inside the carriage.
Liu Ji stared at the roof of the car, and the villain in his heart barked: You are a young boy who has not yet married, what do you know! You have lost only a reputation, but I have lost a lifetime of happiness!
Ding Shi sighed, not understanding Liu Ji's sorrow.
He turned to Ma Yang and congratulated him on his success.
Ma Yang, who was on the list, was too embarrassed to speak, and he kept clasping his fists and laughing. He was afraid that if he spoke again, he would irritate Liu Ji.
It was too chaotic and noisy here. Qin Yao told Ma Yang to remember to go back to the mansion for dinner after the socializing. She asked Awang to cook a big meal to celebrate.
Ma Yang gratefully agreed and hurriedly said that he would go back after he was done with his work.
Qin Yao also told the Ding family who came to watch the fun that she would write an invitation in two days and invite them to the banquet.
Everyone said goodbye for the time being, and Qin Yao went home with her family first.
Although Liu Ji himself was in a low mood, it did not prevent the whole family from being happy.
Liu Fei received Qin Yao's instructions and happily prepared a thank-you banquet for Liu Ji, and announced Liu Ji's success in the imperial examination.
Not only did he invite the neighbors in Kuanzhengfang, but he also invited the Qi, Ding, and Wang families.
The Princess's Mansion personally sent Yun Nuo to deliver the gift.
As for Xu Wenqing, he secretly asked the Xu family's steward to deliver the gift, and teased Qin Yao in his reply, saying that she had made a mistake.
[The person you, Qin Yao, like is really different]
Qin Yao raised her eyebrows proudly, and smiled as she put the reply into the drawer and locked it.
A man's fame is a woman's medal.
She had to keep Xu Wenqing's reply well.
In the front hall, Liu Ji, the protagonist, couldn't laugh at all.
Looking at Qin Yao, who was inviting Yun Nuo to the table, he was full of resentment.
Lu Xiaofeng, who didn't know what had happened between Liu Ji and Qin Yao in private, came to congratulate her elder brother on his success in the imperial examination with gongs and drums.
The result is naturally that he brought up the issue that was not related to the topic.
When the banquet was over, Liu Ji gave him a beating.
Lu Xiaofeng: Who am I? Where am I? What should I do? (End of this chapter)
