The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

Song Ruize prepared a side room in advance, and they moved to the side room to wait for the results to be announced.

As soon as I reached the second floor, I saw a maid waiting there. Seeing Tang Yichen coming up, she bowed and said respectfully, "Mr. Tang, our young master and young lady are in the next room. Your classmates, Jiang and Li, are also here. Mr. Tang, you can bring your family and wait for the good news. When the results are announced, you and the other students can celebrate together."

"Thank Mr. Gong and Miss Gong for their kindness. But I don't like crowds and just want to be with my family right now." Tang Yichen said as he took Qin Huiyin into the side room.

The maid returned to the side room and conveyed Tang Yichen's words to Gong Qianyue, who was wearing a veiled hat.

Gong Qianyi snorted lightly, shook the feather fan in his hand, and said with disdain: "Sister, this guy is stupid and boring. I really don't know what you like about him."

"He has exceptional talent and a rare character. Dad has been working as a prefect outside, but he lacks connections. If he had his own connections, perhaps he could be transferred back to the capital sooner."

"I saw you because he's good-looking. Don't think I don't know that you've met him at various poetry gatherings, and every time you've met with him alone. Sister, don't forget you're engaged." Gong Qianyi said lazily, "If you want to help Dad transfer back to the capital, instead of counting on these commoner students, you might as well count on your future brother-in-law in the capital."

"Don't talk nonsense. In your eyes, is my sister such a tactless person?" Gong Qianyue said calmly, "The results are out, let's take a look at the list!"

Qin Huiyin stood in front of the window and looked at the list opposite. At this moment, she was extremely grateful for her good eyesight. With her 5.0 vision, she saw Tang Yichen's name at a glance.

"Brother, your name..." Qin Huiyin pointed to the position on the opposite list. "Sixth..."

Tang Yichen looked in the direction she pointed and saw his name. He sighed softly, then felt a little disappointed.

Although he knew that it was unlikely for him to become the top scholar, he still held on to a glimmer of hope. But now the fantasy was like a bubble, bursting with a single poke.

He looked in the direction of the first name and saw the three words "Meng Shushen".

It’s not Jiang Zhongli, nor is it Li Leyi.

A surprised voice came from next door: "Who is this Meng Shushen? I've never heard of this name before."

Qin Huiyin searched the list and saw Jiang Zhongli's name in third place, Li Leyi's name in seventh place, and Xue Weifeng's name at the back, near the end.

Without waiting for Qin Huiyin to speak, Xue Weifeng excitedly hugged Tang Yichen: "Brother, I'm on the list too. Hahahaha... I finally made it."

Xue Weifeng was so excited that he almost hugged Qin Huiyin next to him, but was separated by Tang Yichen.

"Congratulations, all your hard work during this period has not been in vain." Tang Yichen said.

"Thank you, Brother Jinzhi. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gotten what I wanted. Well, I have to go and pass on the message. This is about when I can recover my ability to spend money. I'm leaving now. I'll go to the Song residence to celebrate with you later."

Xue Weifeng ran out excitedly.

At this moment, he was like a happy little bird. If he had wings, he would have flown into the sky.

"Brother, congratulations on making the list." Qin Huiyin handed over the gift she had prepared long ago. "This is a gift for you, open it and see if you like it."

Tang Yichen opened the box and saw an exquisite brush.

"I made it myself, and I carved the patterns on it myself. It's not as good as those masters, but it's more thoughtful. Do you like it, brother?"

"This is the best gift, I will cherish it." Tang Yichen couldn't let it go.

"My brother made the list. Let's celebrate on our own tonight. When we get home, we'll tell our family the good news and set up dozens of tables for dinner."

"it is good."

"I had originally prepared a gift for Brother Wei Feng, but now it seems I can only give it to him tonight." Qin Huiyin put away the other box.

"You made him a brush too?"

"No. I'm clumsy with my hands. Just making this one for you took all my energy, so how could I have time for a second one? I bought you a small gift, just to show my appreciation."

The maid from before came back. She said to Tang Yichen, "Mr. Tang, our young master and young lady invite you to celebrate with other students on passing the imperial examination."

"Miss, please thank Master Gong and Miss Gong for me. My sister and I have something else to do, so I have to excuse myself for now."

"Brother, it's not good to refuse again and again." Qin Huiyin said in a low voice, "How about you get together with them first, and then we can celebrate tomorrow?"

Tang Yichen was reluctant. At this important moment today, he only wanted to be accompanied by his most beloved family. Other irrelevant people were just socializing for him, and he really didn't want to socialize today.

"Miss, if you are free, our lady would like to invite you to the banquet." The maid said to Qin Huiyin.

Qin Huiyin smiled and said, "Please thank your young lady for me. But I have already made an appointment with someone else, so I can't break it. Brother, you go! It's a good opportunity for so many students to get together and communicate. Maybe we can go together next time we go to the capital."

"Okay, then be careful when you go back."

"I understand. I have them to protect me, so I'll be fine."

The maid returned to the next room and told Gong Qianyue about the situation on Tang Yichen's side.

"Is she Mr. Tang's sister?" There was some joy in Gong Qianyue's voice.

"Yes. That girl is protected by two martial artists. She doesn't look like a lady from a wealthy family, but she doesn't look like an ordinary commoner either. It's really a bit strange."

"What's the girl's temperament like? Is she easy to get along with?"

"She's not very old, but she's very beautiful. She always smiles when she talks, and she's very pleasing to look at. Master Tang loves this sister so much that he doesn't want to be separated from her!"

"If I have the chance, I really want to meet him." Gong Qianyue said, "Today's banquet will be held at the prefectural government office. Please invite all the students on the list."

"The other students were on the previous list, but I've never seen this Meng Shushen before." Gong Qianyi said, "I'll send someone to find out which academy he's from."

Qin Huiyin and her two followers left the teahouse. As soon as she walked out of the teahouse, she was stopped by a scholar.

The scholar looked at Qin Huiyin excitedly and said, "Thank you, young lady."

He bowed deeply.

Qin Huiyin recognized him as the scholar who had caused the misunderstanding and said with a smile, "I don't know why you're thanking me, but seeing how happy you look, did you make the list?"

"Yes, I'm fortunate to be on the list. Young lady, while I didn't have any suicidal thoughts that day, I felt the world was dark and life lacked hope. Your kindness made me realize there's still goodwill in the world, and that's what gave me the courage to participate in the expedition," the scholar said. "My name is Meng Shushen, and I'd like to formally introduce myself to you."

"So you're the top scorer!" Qin Huiyin was surprised. "Congratulations, Master Meng."

"I am just lucky. I don't deserve the title of Jieyuan. I won't bother you anymore. I'm taking my leave." Meng Shushen retreated with a red face.
