"They arrived too early and the results aren't out yet. These people are probably all waiting."
Jiang Changtian was right; the results aren't out yet.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, someone came out of the academy, banged a gong a few times, and posted the list of admitted students and their exam papers on the wall.
"I didn't expect so many people to join Luming Academy this time. I originally thought there would only be one or two!"
Someone in front exclaimed in surprise.
Standing at the back of the crowd, Lin Shuyun pointed to her toes but still couldn't see anything, so she shouted loudly, "I can't read, is there any kind brother in front who can read out the names on the list?"
Xiaoqing silently covered her face.
The person who heard the call was a woman, and the person at the front of the line was quite kind-hearted, and actually read it out loud.
"...Jin Zi, Qi Yu, Chen Jingfeng, Jiang Changtian..."
"Brother Jingfeng, I heard your name! That's wonderful!"
Chen Ting's eyes were swollen like walnuts, clearly from crying earlier, but now she was jumping around happily.
They wished everyone would know that Chen Jingfeng could get into Luming Academy.
The onlookers saw Chen Jingfeng and got to know him; it turned out this was Chen Jingfeng.
She looks quite young, but she doesn't seem to come from a very well-off family.
"My name is Jinzi. Brother Chen, we'll be classmates from now on. I've come here specifically to say hello and hope you'll take care of me in the future."
The young man in brocade robes who had previously mocked Jiang Changtian walked up to Chen Jingfeng and bowed.
"Jinzi, your name is so strange!" Chen Ting said, then immediately covered her mouth.
Nobody has that name.
"Sister, be careful what you say." Chen Jingfeng frowned.
"It's alright. My surname is Jin. My father liked gold, so he gave me this name." Jin Zi smiled, the golden crown on his head shining brightly in the sun.
"Your younger sister is quite lively, unlike my younger sister who doesn't talk much."
Chen Ting smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Brother Jin."
Jinzi was surprised. Was he just praising her?
It was just a polite remark.
But this girl is quite interesting. She's only just met him, and she's already calling him "Brother Jin" all the time.
After speaking with Chen Jingfeng, Jinzi's gaze fell on Jiang Changtian.
He knew most of the other people on the list, except for Jiang Changtian and Chen Jingfeng, who had no background.
"I told you you could pass the exam. Now that's settled, you can study peacefully at the academy. We'll earn money to support your studies."
Lin Shuyun was overjoyed. After all, it was an academy that all scholars in the world aspired to attend, which made her feel very prestigious.
Qin Niangzi immediately said, "Yunyun, how about we open a pastry shop? Your aunt makes pretty good pastries, maybe we can make some money that way."
Gu Chen said, "Big brother, I'm very good at accounting. I can be a bookkeeper."
“I can embroider!” Gu Ru said.
The youngest, Gu Bao, said anxiously, "I don't know how to make money. I'll help everyone out. Big brother, if you need anything, just ask me to do it. I'll be your page!"
Jinzi was originally going to come over, but upon hearing these words, she looked at Jiang Changtian with a complicated expression.
Was this person's family already in such dire straits?
It took the combined resources of the entire family to support his education, and he was surrounded by women, children, and teenagers.
This is too difficult.
Xiaoqing was standing far away, so Jinzi didn't think they were in cahoots.
My initial intention to go up and say hello was abandoned.
Such a person is probably only interested in studying these days, and there's no need to associate with them.
The notice posted by Luming Academy announced that these students would be allowed to enroll and study tomorrow.
Just as everyone was about to leave, Chen Jingfeng spoke up.
"Brother Jiang, wait a moment."
Jiang Changtian looked at him, indicating that he had something to say.
Chen Jingfeng cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to Brother Jiang and his group for taking care of us along the way, we are lucky that Brother Jiang and I will soon be classmates. I would like to invite you to a meal."
"I don't need to eat. I want to go home quickly and tell my godfather the good news. But we can eat together when we get to the academy!"
Chen Jingfeng was initially upset about being rejected, but he smiled when he heard Jiang Changtian's next words.
"That's good. I won't bother Brother Jiang and his family any longer."
Seeing that Jiang Changtian and the others had left, Chen Jingfeng also decided to go back.
Chen Ting said, "Brother Jingfeng, let's stay at the inn tonight and have a meal. Let's not go back and forth so late, and we'll have to get up in the middle of the night to travel tomorrow!"
She didn't want to go through the hassle of going back and forth to that small, dilapidated courtyard three miles outside the city.
“I asked you to change back into men’s clothing for your safety, so you could just wait at home, but you insisted on coming out with me.” Chen Jingfeng frowned.
The money I had on me after staying at the inn was definitely not enough to feed my family.
“You left me alone at home, how can I stay idle? Brother Jingfeng, you’ve changed.”
Chen Ting cried half the night last night, and her eyes are swollen badly today. Hearing these words made her feel sad again.
Chen Jingfeng frowned. "You're my sister now, just call me brother, no need to add your name in front of me."
"You should be more sensible by now. In Shengjing, where every inch of land is precious, if we spend all our money, will our family starve?"
No sooner had Chen Jingfeng finished speaking than Jinzi arrived.
"Brother Chen, where are you planning to go?"
Chen Ting looked up and exclaimed, "Ah, it's Young Master Jin! We need to go eat and find an inn to stay at!"
“I’m also going to eat soon, why don’t we go together? I know which restaurant nearby has the best food.” Jinzi looked at Chen Jingfeng with a smile.
"No need to trouble yourself, Brother Jin. I'm short of money and was just planning to find a small stall to eat a bowl of wontons. I'm afraid I can't afford the fancy restaurant you mentioned."
Chen Jingfeng's words made Chen Ting blush with shame and feel utterly embarrassed.
Jinzi smiled and said, "It's nothing. We'll be classmates from now on, and classmates should look after each other. I'll treat you to a meal, so please take care of me in the future."
In the end, Chen Jingfeng and the other two were still dragged to eat together. Chen Jingfeng was pulled by Jinzi's two servants, and no matter how much he refused, it was no use.
The old housekeeper was delighted to see that Chen Jingfeng had made friends with his classmates so quickly.
Only Chen Ting, blushing, kept tugging at her sleeve as she walked at the very back.
……
……
When Lin Shuyun returned home, she found the courtyard gate locked. She called out twice, but no one answered.
The little creature wagged its tail and ran over.
"Where did that strange old man go? Why is no one here?"
"Didn't you say you weren't going out? You didn't secretly go out to do something bad, did you?" Qin Niangzi said, cracking melon seeds.
"Could you please stop spitting on the ground? Nobody can clean it up!"
Xiaoqing glared fiercely at Qin Niangzi.
Qin Niangzi smiled, not wanting to argue with a child, and stretched out her hand, which was full of melon seed shells.
