The inner courtyard of the Chu Mansion is exceptionally quiet today.

Chu Yunfei was pacing back and forth in her room at this time.

"Why didn't she fall into the lake?" Chu Yunfei muttered to herself angrily as she walked.

Lan Xiang, who had been following behind Chu Yunfei, also spoke with a puzzled look on her face: "Yes, Second Miss, I calculated the time. From a distance, I saw her heading towards the backyard, but... in order to distance myself from her, I didn't dare to follow too closely. When I arrived at the backyard, I saw that she was already holding a handkerchief, preparing to go back."

She had clearly thrown the handkerchief into the lake, and she saw it float far away with her own eyes. Besides...that idiot Chu Yunyue couldn't even swim!

The more Lanxiang thought about it, the weirder it seemed.

Could it be that even God is helping that fool Chu Yunyue?

"She's lucky!"

Chu Yunfei's tone was a little fierce.

"Then Second Miss, do we still want to..." Lanxiang moved closer to Chu Yunfei, and her eyes became dangerous.

"I won't allow any accidents to happen when it comes to changing the engagement."

Chu Yunfei said, and suddenly the corners of her lips curled up: "Last night I heard my father casually mention that there are more and more refugees outside the capital recently, and it's very uneasy. Hey, my sister used to sneak out to play frequently, and it gave my father a headache. What if she sneaks out again, runs out of the inner city, runs to the outer city and encounters bad guys? What should I do then?"

After hearing Chu Yunfei's words, Lanxiang's eyes lit up and she immediately had a new idea in her mind.

"Second Miss, I know what to do."

The master and servant looked at each other and smiled, everything was said without words.

Jiang Jiang: It's so hard! These two, master and servant, are the only ones in the world who are so dedicated to carrying out the plot! Thank you both for your hard work! The World's Most Dedicated Award goes to you two!

Chu Yunfei/Lanxiang: ...

**

The afterglow of the setting sun and the vermilion palace walls echo each other, forming a pleasing picture of the spring sunset.

The time for the palace examination to end is almost here.

Jiang Jiang, who had waited in Ruyi Street for most of the day but had not seen any good show, had now returned to the outside of the palace wall. A lot of people had already gathered there, most of whom were classmates, friends or relatives of the tribute scholars.

Everyone was feeling both excited and nervous.

"Ginger ginger."

Huang E'er finally made her way through the crowd and found Jiang Jiang standing in the corner.

"Sister Er."

After Jiang Jiang saw Huang E'er, the expression on her face finally brightened up a little: "I haven't seen you for a few days. Sister E'er is getting prettier and prettier!"

"No, it's Sister Jiang Jiang who's becoming more and more beautiful."

Huang E'er said this with a smile, and the two of them started to flatter each other, and there was no embarrassment at all.

"I wonder how Brother Jiang did today?"

As they chatted, Huang E'er's topic involuntarily fell on Jiang Chaosheng again.

"Big brother has been working very hard recently, so he should get good grades."

As Jiang Jiang was speaking, he heard hurried footsteps coming from the city gate, and then the crowd began to get lively.

Those tribute students have come out!

**

As the gate of the imperial city slowly opened, a group of tribute students dressed exactly the same slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

"Brother! Here! Here!"

Jiang Jiang, who was waiting outside the imperial city, saw the figure of his elder brother Jiang Chaosheng at a glance. There was no way, among a group of weak scholars, Jiang Chaosheng's tall body, who was 188 cm tall, was too conspicuous.

"Brother, we are here!" Jiang Jiang was afraid that Jiang Chaosheng couldn't see her, so she simply jumped up and kept waving at Jiang Chaosheng.

Jiang Chaosheng soon saw Jiang Jiang jumping up and down in the crowd, and walked quickly to her and Huang E'er.

"Ms. Huang."

Jiang Chaosheng greeted Huang E'er politely as always.

Huang E'er blushed as usual and called out weakly, "Brother Jiang."

These two people...

Jiang Jiang was speechless about the way they got along, but at this moment she was more concerned about Jiang Chaosheng's grades.

The results of the palace examinations in Qingyun Kingdom were announced on the same day. Except for the top three who were personally decided by His Highness, the rest of the rankings were chosen by the civil and military officials present that day.

"Brother, how are your grades this time?" Jiang Jiang asked with concern. She knew that with her brother's level, he had no hope of getting into the top three. After all, many of these tribute students were children of aristocrats. They had been studying with great scholars in the capital since childhood. Whether it was learning resources or vision and experience, they were far beyond the reach of ordinary people like them.

Although he can't make it into the top three, Jiang Chaosheng still has a chance to compete for the top 51!

What if God is blind today, or opens his eyes?

“It didn’t work out well this time.”

Hearing Jiang Jiang's question, Jiang Chaosheng lowered his eyes, sighed slightly and said, "I only ranked 50th!"

"Fifty!"

Huang E'er's eyes lit up. At least fifty-one candidates will be admitted in each session!

and so……

"Brother Jiang, you got it!"

Huang E'er jumped up with joy, instantly forgetting the reserve that a lady should have.

"Brother, did you really win?"

Jiang Jiang also held Jiang Chaosheng's hand at this time, looking at him in disbelief——

My eldest brother actually passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi!

Really hit!

Don't underestimate this 50th place, it's in the top 50 in the country! If it were a modern university, it would be a seedling from Peking University or Tsinghua University!

In the original owner's memory, Jiang Chaosheng was just an ordinary scholar who was overconfident.

When Jiang Jiang first crossed over, he never thought that his elder brother could actually pass the imperial examination!

This……

Could it be that the luck I have gained can also benefit my elder brother?

Jiang Jiang thought of a lot of things at once, until Jiang Chaosheng's big hand gently patted her little head.

"Why, don't you believe I can pass the imperial examination?"

Jiang Chaosheng looked at his sister with a smile, his eyes seemed to see through everything.

"That's impossible! My elder brother is the most powerful scholar in the world!" Jiang Jiang blinked, and immediately hugged Jiang Chaosheng's arm like a servile person, shaking him hard.

"walk home!"

Jiang Chaosheng seemed very satisfied with Jiang Jiang's performance. He tried hard to suppress the corners of his lips, letting Jiang Jiang beside him hold his arm, and walked forward with his head held high.

Huang E'er, who was standing aside, became even more rosy after her excitement. Seeing the Jiang brothers and sisters leave, she immediately trotted to catch up with Jiang Chaosheng and followed him closely. But what she was thinking in her heart was -

Brother Jiang really graduated from high school!

This time, my mother shouldn't object to my marriage with him, right?

If the Huang family took the initiative to find a matchmaker to propose a marriage, wouldn't that be too unreserved?

If they get married and have children, what should they name them?

Oh, what if Brother Jiang is appreciated by His Majesty and becomes a high-ranking official in the future, and I feel that I am no longer worthy of him, what should I do?

Unconsciously, Huang E'er's thoughts became more and more numerous and chaotic...
