At the beginning, I saved a little mute

How can something that has been set in stone change so easily?

The servants' faces turned red.

He originally thought it was a good job, so when the butler gave him the job that was originally scheduled for him, he was so grateful that he burst into tears.

I didn't expect it was to trick him.

This is how to do?

To recite or not to recite?

Logically speaking, second place is already very good.

But......

"Who is it?"

"That's right, boy, why don't you speak?"

Lin Wan'er stopped the discussion of the ladies and smiled gently, "Anfu, speak up, don't be afraid."

"Woo woo, Miss, I'm just afraid of you." Anfu didn't dare to say it.

He licked his lips dryly and made up his mind. "Miss, this is what you asked me to say. Don't blame me later."

The voice was so small, "The second place is... is... Miss..."

"Which lady is it?" Anfu's voice was too soft and Lin Wan'er didn't hear it clearly.

An Fu mustered up his courage, closed his eyes and said loudly, "The second place, Lin Wan'er, is you, the eldest lady."

This time his voice was so loud that the entire pavilion could hear it.

For a moment, everyone seemed to be frozen, with their eyes wide open.

After a long while, a sound was heard.

"Did you hear that? The second place is Miss Lin?"

"I heard it, it's Miss Lin."

"That's impossible. She should have won first place. How could she be second?"

"Yes, is there anyone in Dingzhou City who is more talented in writing than Miss Lin?"

"Impossible. Absolutely impossible."

"I don't believe it either, but the facts are in front of me. I can't be the only one who heard it wrong."

When everyone discussed this point, they all turned their eyes to Lin Wan'er.

Lin Wan'er, who was sitting in the middle, occupying the most conspicuous position, felt at this moment that all her previous pride had shattered into pieces.

The pieces are clearer than the finest pieces of jade.

"I'm the second place?!" Lin Wan'er was trembling all over, with her hands hidden in her sleeves.

My palms are bleeding from pinching.

She has been treated like a high-hand since she was a child, as if no one is as good as her.

Every time I go out, I am praised by everyone.

Doesn’t he always win first prize in every competition?

What's going on today?

She actually came in second place?

“Impossible!” Lin Wan’er stood there stubbornly, not believing it at all. She tried her best to calm herself down, “Anfu, tell me, did you see it wrong? Someone else is in second place.”

She can't accept it.

Anfu's back was covered in sweat.

This is not an easy job.

However, the facts were before his eyes, and he could not help but talk nonsense. So, Anfu looked at the list carefully with trepidation, "Miss, that's right."

Anfu was right, that was her fault.

Lin Wan'er couldn't sit still any longer.

He stood up, his face full of anger.

Lin's mother, Yu, who rushed over after hearing the news, happened to see this scene.

He hurriedly stepped forward and held Lin Wan'er down, "Wan'er."

"Mom." Lin Wan'er felt extremely aggrieved. She had never suffered such a great injustice in her life.

How could she be below others? How could she not be number one?

Yu waved for someone to bring the finest headgear and handed it to Lin Wan'er personally, "My dear daughter, this is the reward for second place. It is a complete set of headgear, made by the master chef at Cui Yu Xuan. It suits you very well."

"mother."

"Alright, alright, mother knows that you are the most sensible person, and you must not let others laugh at you."

Yu said the last sentence in a low voice.

Lin Wan'er then remembered the noble person over there. She wanted to leave a good impression on him.

The expression on his face changed reluctantly.

He just couldn't wait to say to Anfu, "Who's the first place? Tell us."

Although she had already decided that this set of headgear would be the first choice when she discussed it with her mother.

But now, not only her ranking has changed, but also the prize has changed.

Lin Wan'er bit her lower lip, unable to believe what reward the first place winner would get.

The worst is...

Yu just nodded at her.

Lin Wan'er's heart sank.

My father was right. This nobleman from the capital city might give a reward to the first place winner if he takes a fancy to someone.

Lin Wan'er tilted her head to look at the last tray, which was only covered with a thin layer of red cloth and did not look like a big thing.

But such a simple piece of red cloth made Lin Wan'er's heart beat fast.

Underneath, there are most likely personal belongings such as jade pendants.

When Lin Wan'er thought about the fact that she had lost and would not get the reward from the noble man, her whole face twisted.

Who is that first place?

An Fu looked at the list in his hand more carefully than before, and then said tremblingly, "The first one is... Miss Jiang Zao."

After the words were spoken, no one spoke.

This causes one person's voice to stand out.

That was Wan Ruzhen, "Jiang Zao, Jiang Zao, it's you, you are the first."

She pulled Jiang Zao's sleeve excitedly. The demeanor of a lady from a noble family, the dignity and steadiness, all disappeared from Wan Ruzhen at this moment.

This also made everyone's attention focused on Wan Hezhen and Jiang Zao.

It was the first time for almost everyone to see Jiang Zao.

She was wearing clothes that were neither fancy nor tacky, her hair was simply combed in a bun, and there was only a simple hairpin on her head. Her earrings were particularly eye-catching.

Sitting there, he felt calm and relaxed.

Although she is young, she is calmer than many girls older than her.

Lin Wan'er glared at him sharply, but what she received was Jiang Zao's gentle gaze.

Such an ordinary little girl, who hasn't even grown up yet, actually won the first place?

Lin Wan'er's palms were bleeding again.

This ginger is early.

She already knew it.

But I never took it to heart.

An outsider who started his business by selling tofu and making spicy hot pot, and who came from Fufeng County, which was considered a poor county by everyone.

I heard that people there can barely make ends meet.

Recently I heard that Fufeng County built a cement road that no one had ever seen, and it was also built by Jiang Zao.

Lin Wan'er looked down on her even more.

A girl, only eleven years old, did not stay at home waiting for a good marriage to come, but went out wandering around every day.

Who could fancy a girl like this?

Anyway, I'm not even worthy of being her maid.

But she never expected that she would be noticed by the noble man from the capital.

That's a noble person.

Lin Wan'er gritted her teeth in anger.

When the nobleman came, her father told her not to go and see him.

But Lin Wan'er couldn't suppress her curiosity and secretly watched from behind the screen.

Then I realized that he was more than just a noble person, he was a great noble person.

Lin Wan'er's heart is pounding when she thinks about it now.

What did she hear?

Daddy actually called that guy the Third Prince!

The third prince!

Prince!

A young and handsome prince!
