Marriage of the Di Daughter-Chapter 64 Part 2 - Two First Positions
Chapter 64 Part 2: Two First Positions
The gap between a small and humble family and his precious family, Jiang Li was also too lazy to have a dispute with him. Each person had their own way of living, no need to be insistent.
While they were conversing, Qingfeng and Mingyue suddenly walked hastily from outside. The two people’s faces were flushed with excitement. Once she entered the door, Qingfeng immediately said: “Miss, Ming Yi Hall’s red notice has come out!”
Before Jiang Li could say anything, Jiang Jing Rui had put aside his cup of tea and said: “How is it? Is your miss placed at the bottom?”
Jiang Li saw him like this and felt that he was lying when he said he hoped she would win.
Mingyue glared at Jiang Jing Rui and said: “What kind of nonsense, our young lady is highly intelligent, naturally she has the making for studying…….”
Before she had finished speaking, Jiang Jing Rui already laughed: “That’s not the way to tell lies.”
Jiang Li calmly looked at him.
Mingyue was anxious: “It wasn’t a lie, now up and down the entire residence knows already. This time our young lady is Ming Yi Hall’s top of the list, the first!”
She heavily bit down on the word “first”.
Jiang Jing Rui said: “This servant girl, why didn’t you think when you speak. Even if you are comforting your family’s miss, you shouldn’t speak nonsense like this.”
Qingfeng said: “It’s true!”
Jiang Jing Rui still wanted to say more, but upon seeing the few servants’ red eyes, he finally realized something and slowly stopped laughing. He looked inquisitively at Jiang Li and asked: “Is it true?”
Jiang Li was too lazy to respond to him and only asked: “How about the Imperial College? Who’s the Imperial College’s top of the list?”
“It seems to be an unfamiliar name, the surname is Ye….. full name Ye Shijie!”
The stone in Jiang Li’s heart fell.
Jiang Jing Rui finally reacted and shouted at the top of his voice: “What’s going on? You got the first position in Ming Yi Hall’s examination, your cousin got first position in the Imperial College’s examination.” He leaned close to Jiang Li, and in a low voice he spoke mysteriously: “Be honest, did you two perhaps bribe the examiner? It’s known that your elder cousin’s house doesn’t lack silver, but is the top Imperial College nowadays easy to bribe…….”
He muttered to himself.
Qingfeng said: “The old madam asked second miss to go to Wan Feng Hall without delay.”
“Okay.” Jiang Li stood up: “I’ll go at once.”
“I’m going too!” Jiang Jing Rui stood up following her and said: “This time you’ve acquired face for the Jiang family. Grandmother will definitely reward you handsomely.”
Jiang Li saw his excitement, perhaps those who didn’t know would think that Jiang Jing Rui was that person who won the top spot. She paused and said: “Are you certain you want to go now?”
“Why shouldn’t I go?” Jiang Jing Rui was baffled.
Jiang Li sighed: “You are not afraid your grades would be mentioned?”
“I’m not afraid.” Jiang Jing Rui didn’t feel shame, on the contrary he seemed to be honored and said without any concern: “everyone is used to it already.”
Jiang Li was also too lazy to speak anymore. Jiang Jing Rui didn’t care, there’s no need for her to be the bad person who speaks too much. Soon, she brought Tong’er and Baixue over to Wan Feng Hall.
When they arrived at Wan Feng Hall, without exception, the little servant girls standing outside showed polite smiles to her while seizing her up. Perhaps surprised with the matter of her getting the top position.
Jiang Li pretended not to see all these and minding her own business, she raised her foot to walk inside. After she walked in, she discovered that Jiang Yuan Bai was unexpectedly also inside.
It wasn’t just Jiang Yuan Bai, Jiang Yuan Xing and Jiang Yuan Ping, these two brothers, were also present. Yang-shi was in the middle of talking with Lu-shi. All the people from all three branches were congregated together in the main hall.
This was rarely seen.
