Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

On the day of the announcement of the results, the students got up early in the morning and waited anxiously.

In Zhuangyuan Building, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

All the people living here are students who are going to Beijing to take imperial examinations. It is a place specially selected by the imperial court.

Mo Yichen and Wu An also shared a room, where they ate and lived for free, saving a lot of money.

"Brother Mo, don't be nervous. We all recognize your talent. You are extremely talented and better than any of us. You will definitely be able to pass the exam."

Mo Yichen smiled bitterly, "You are too modest. Your knowledge is not inferior to mine. I am unsure. That arithmetic problem is too tricky. I couldn't even answer it."

Wu An frowned slightly. He had finished the questions, but he was not sure if he had done them correctly.

"This question stumped many people. It seems that the court values ​​mathematical talents very much."

"Yes."

Wu An saw that the students around him were all walking out, and he couldn't help but stand up, "Come on, it's almost time, let's go over and take a look."

Both of them were very anxious, so they walked out of the inn side by side and walked quickly towards the place where the results would be announced.

After waiting for a long time, the person who announced the results came out and the crowd became excited.

"Everyone, stand back, stand back."

After the yamen runners posted the list, everyone rushed forward impatiently, nervously looking for their own names.

One family is happy while the other is sad. Those who won are ecstatic, while those who didn’t win are in tears and heartbroken.

Mo Yichen and Wu An squeezed through the crowd and it took them a lot of effort to get forward.

Start from the bottom, no, no.

Suddenly, Mo Yichen grabbed Wu An's arm and said, "Brother Wu, I got it!"

He was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. Wu An patted his shoulder and said, "Congratulations."

He was anxious to find his name, and finally, he saw his name.

First in line! He stared blankly, rubbed his eyes and looked again, unable to believe it.

Mo Yichen shook it vigorously, "Brother Wu, you are at the top of the list!"

This was like a cauldron of boiling water, and everyone became excited. "Who is the top of the list? Let us know him quickly."

Mo Yichen was extremely happy, "This is the top of the list, hahahaha."

Everyone looked at him with envy and jealousy. It turned out to be him. He was so young and so handsome! His future was limitless.

"Congratulations, brother. May I ask where did you study? Which great scholar did you study under?"

Wu An was so happy that he went crazy. Ahhhh, he was actually at the top of the list. This was unbelievable.

Not far away, a carriage passed slowly, and the people in the carriage opened the window to look over.

The beauty is like jade and delicate like a flower.

Madam Ning Qishao looked around for a few seconds and asked, "What good day is today? Why are there so many people here?"

The women of the Ning family were still on the way, but in order to catch her mother's birthday, she traveled alone, traveling day and night, and had just entered the capital.

Sitting next to her was her younger sister, the fifth daughter of the Zhou family, who had personally gone to the city gate to welcome her sister's return, showing the Zhou family's sincerity.

Back then, the Ning family was wronged and suffered, and all the women in the family were imprisoned in the Sky Prison. The Zhou family immediately severed ties with the Seventh Young Master's wife and cut off all ties with her. The Seventh Young Master's wife was so angry that she thought she had no natal family anymore and died.

Now that the Ning family has risen, the Zhou family has launched a family offensive and tried their best to win back the relationship.

Miss Zhou Wu is playful and cute, and is very much loved by Madam Ning Qi. "It is the day when the results of the first round of the imperial examination will be announced."

Madam Ning Qi suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

She looked at her young sister and her heart moved, "Sister, which one do you like? I'll help you decide."

Miss Zhou was stunned. "Is it really possible?"

The Zhou family’s ancestors had titles, but by the time of Mrs. Ning Qishao’s grandfather, there were no titles anymore. Her grandfather was a prodigal son who squandered most of the family business.

By the time of her father's generation, the family had little income and lived a hard life.

She was able to marry into the Ning family because her grandmother and Old Madam Ning were close friends and had a deep relationship.

However, the marriage threshold for other girls in the Zhou family is not high.

Mrs. Ning Qishao said arrogantly, "What's wrong with that? You are my biological sister."

Miss Zhou was secretly happy. She had been putting her marriage on hold just to wait for her sister to come back and help her find a husband.

She stared outside for a while and suddenly heard a noise. Top of the list?

Her heart moved, and she accurately locked onto the newly-released top of the list. Although it was only the first round, it showed that this person was good enough.

"I like the scholar in the blue robe. He is gentle and refined."

The imperial examination was divided into provincial examination, metropolitan examination and palace examination. Those who passed the provincial examination were called juren and could become an official.

Even if you fail the imperial examination, you can still spend money to get a small official position.

That is, the future is limited and it is impossible to be granted a title of nobility or become a prime minister.

Madam Ning Qishao took a look and ordered, "Come here, go and capture that student."

Miss Zhou's heart skipped a beat. "Catch?"

Madam Ning Qishao said with a smile, "This is called catching a son-in-law from the list, which is a very elegant thing."

Miss Zhou said cautiously, "How about waiting a little longer?"

Madam Ning Qishao couldn't help but shake her head, "Sister, it will be too late when the examination results come out."

At that time, the daughters of high-ranking officials were all the candidates for son-in-law. How could the Zhou family have a chance?

Families like the Zhou family don't want to pick up what others have left, so they can only place their bets in advance.

Wu An was just feeling happy when several servants rushed over, grabbed him and ran away.

His face turned pale with fear. "What are you doing?"

Mo Yichen chased after him and said, "Let go of Brother Wu. You kidnapped someone in public. Don't you have any laws?"

Other students also caught up in a mighty force.

This frightened the servants, and they quickly said, "This is a happy event."

"happy event?"

The servant said loudly, "Our master has taken a fancy to Master Wu and wants to marry his sister to him."

The students were envious and jealous, "Wow, the son-in-law is being chosen so quickly."

Wu An was still in shock. He had heard about this kind of thing before, but he never expected it to happen to him.

"I already have a fiancée and the wedding date has been set. I'm sorry I can't accept your kindness."

The servants dragged him towards a carriage and did not allow anyone else to follow.

"My master's preference for you is a blessing you earned in your previous life. If you knew who my master is, you would definitely accept it with pleasure."

For others, it might be a benefit, but Wu An already has a beloved fiancée, and the two have been childhood sweethearts and have a deep relationship. "Sorry, I'm not interested."

In the carriage, the two women's faces fell.

Seeing Wu An turning around and about to leave, the Seventh Young Master's wife shouted, "Stop."

"Master Wu, my sister is beautiful, intelligent, lovely, capable and virtuous. You will be lucky if you marry her."

Wu An didn't expect that their master was actually a woman. He took two steps back to avoid suspicion and said, "One should not break one's promise."

The Seventh Young Master's wife frowned slightly and gave the order directly, "Go and cancel the engagement. I will ensure that you will rise to prominence and become a noble and prime minister in this life."

This disgusted Wu An, "What a big tone! May I ask who you are?"

The Seventh Young Master’s wife smiled proudly, “I am a member of the Ning family.”

Wu An was stunned. Ning? This is the national surname. "Ning family? Which Ning family?"

The Seventh Young Master's wife looked proud and said, "The Empress's surname is Ning, and I am her biological sister-in-law. Now you believe that I can help you ascend to the throne, right?"

Wu An:......
