When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

The people at the gate of Fengwu Academy gradually dispersed. Some beat their chests and stamped their feet, while others cheered with joy. Their joys and sorrows were completely different.

Xie Guangting suddenly spoke up: "Everyone, even if Song'er failed the exam today, it doesn't mean that she is not a good daughter-in-law of my Xie family. Don't treat her with contempt because of this."

He stood up, walked over to Jiang Song, and gently patted her shoulder. "Song'er, you don't need to blame yourself, and you don't need to care about other people's opinions. What the Xie family values ​​is your character, not just a rank in the exam."

Jiang Song looked up and met Xie Guangting's encouraging gaze, a complex mix of emotions welling up in her heart. She was grateful for the Xie family's understanding and tolerance, but she also knew she couldn't give up.

"Father, thank you. I...I will keep working hard." Jiang Song's voice was soft but full of determination.

Xie Yunni also came over and hugged Jiang Song tightly, "Sister-in-law, I believe in you, you can do it!"

The atmosphere in the private room gradually warmed up, and everyone in the Xie family expressed encouragement, making Jiang Song feel the warmth and support of his family.

Even the usually sharp-tongued Second House Wife, Zhao Zhiyi, refrained from making sarcastic remarks. She sighed softly, "Song'er, this exam is difficult to begin with. Failing once doesn't mean anything. Don't worry."

Third Master Xie Huaijin patted his chest and said with a smile, "Song'er, if you're willing, Third Uncle can personally teach you the art of weaving and dyeing. With this skill at your disposal, you won't have to worry about not making a name for yourself!"

Jiang Song looked at the concerned faces, and the warmth in her heart almost forced the tears out of her eyes.

Xie Changyu called the shopkeeper over and started serving the dishes.

It is extremely difficult to book a private room in Wangyun Pavilion, and the dishes are also excellent. Now that you are here, you must enjoy it.

Besides, although what happened to Jiang Song was a bit regrettable, it was not the end of the world, and life must go on.

"Sister-in-law, look!" Xie Yunni suddenly pointed out the window, her face full of surprise.

Jiang Song looked in the direction she pointed, and saw that at the gate of Fengwu Academy, the guards had raised the two wooden frames a little higher, as if they were adjusting the position of the list.

This action attracted many people who had not yet left to stop and watch, and discussions arose again.

"What's this for? Hasn't the list been revealed?"

"Is there any change?"

"Hey, look, what's that guard holding in his hand?"

"Gold list? Someone actually made it to the gold list this year?!"

Everyone stood on tiptoe to look, and saw a guard holding a roll of golden silk hanging on the top of the original red list.

Jiang Song's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that...

At this moment, the guards quickly completed the change, and the golden silk cloth slowly unfolded under the expectant gaze of everyone.

"Sister-in-law! Your name is on the list! It's on the gold list!" Xie Yunni was so excited that she almost jumped up and held Jiang Song's arm tightly.

As a prodigy of Fengwu Academy, Xie Yunni naturally knew the value of this gold list.

In the history of Fengwu Academy, only a handful of people have been able to make it onto the gold list with such outstanding achievements. All of them are gifted and talented, and later became famous figures.

Therefore, Fengwu Academy is extremely cautious when nominating names for the gold list, and after multiple considerations and reviews, ensures that those on the list are worthy of the title.

This is also the reason why the list was posted so late and attracted everyone's attention!

As long as one is on this list, even if he fails the martial arts test later, he can be directly admitted to Fengwu Academy as an exception, develop in the direction of strategist or military strategist, and become the focus of training of the academy.

Jiang Song stared blankly at his name on the gold list, and for a moment he couldn't believe it.

She rubbed her eyes and carefully confirmed again. It was indeed her name, Jiang Song, the only name occupying the entire gold list, so dazzling that it could not be ignored.

"This...what's going on?" Jiang Song turned to look at Xie Changyu, his eyes full of confusion.

Xie Changyu was also pleasantly surprised. He quickly walked to the window, took a closer look at the list, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you've made it! A place on the Fengwu Academy list is even harder than getting first place. You've brought honor to the Xie family!"

The other members of the Xie family also gathered around and looked at their names on the gold list, their faces filled with pride and joy.

"Song'er, you're really great!" Xie Guangting laughed and patted Jiang Song's shoulder, his eyes full of admiration.

"Sister-in-law, I knew you could do it!" Xie Yunni hugged Jiang Song tightly, tears glistening in her eyes, tears of excitement.

Xie Changyan also had a smile on his face. He looked at Jiang Song with an extremely gentle gaze, "Song'er, I knew you would get what you wanted!"

Jiang Song felt mixed emotions at the moment. She originally thought that she had failed the exam, but unexpectedly, things took a turn and she actually made it onto the list.

"Thank you everyone, I will continue to work hard and live up to your expectations." Jiang Song looked at everyone affectionately, tears of gratitude flashing in his eyes.

Xie Guangting said with relief, "Today, our Xie family has a double celebration! Congratulations to Song'er for passing the imperial examination! Come, everyone, raise your glasses. Cheers to Song'er and the future of the Xie family!"

At this time, the atmosphere in the private room reached its climax, and everyone in the Xie family raised their glasses to celebrate and toast to Jiang Song's outstanding achievements.

At the gate of Fengwu Academy, those who had not yet left were also talking about it, full of curiosity and admiration for the name Jiang Song.

"Who is this Jiang Song? He actually made it onto the gold list, that's incredible!"

"I heard that she is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xie family. It seems that the Xie family has found a treasure this time."

"Hey, is this Jiang Song from the imperial capital? Why haven't I heard of such a person before?"

"This is the gold list, a grand event that hasn't happened in twenty years. Jiang Song will definitely have a bright future, and the future is promising!"

……

Amidst the discussions and praises of the crowd, Jiang Song's name seemed to have wings and quickly spread throughout the imperial capital.

On the way back home, Second Master Xie rode a horse instead of a carriage, and boasted to everyone he met, "My nephew's wife has made it onto the prestigious list! It's from Fengwu Academy, a unique place!"

"Brother Huailan, congratulations! Our family is so lucky to have such a talented girl!" Upon hearing this, passers-by looked at him in surprise and envy, and congratulated him one after another.

Mr. Xie smiled from ear to ear and repeatedly bowed in response, "Congratulations, congratulations! I will definitely hold a banquet at my house some other day. Please come and celebrate with us!"

Inside the carriage, Jiang Song was surrounded by the joy and praise of the Xie family, but his heart was unusually calm.

She promised to win the first place, so she would do her best and live up to everyone's expectations.

She has only passed the written test, and the upcoming martial arts test will be her real challenge.

The reason why Fengwu Academy has both civil and military examinations is to select well-rounded talents who are both intelligent and capable of practical combat.

Passing the literary examination only gave her a better starting point, but the real competition had just begun.
