Lianchi Academy defeated Songzhu Academy and won the first place in the academy competition!
This is the hottest news in Beijing this year, bar none!
The four major banks lost money and looked bleak. Especially the two bets that were as high as ten thousand taels of silver, requiring a compensation of one hundred thousand taels of silver, which made them vomit blood.
The person who placed the bet on the first place in Lianchi Academy made a huge profit.
In the Xie Mansion, Ms. Xu clutched a thick stack of banknotes and grinned to the back of her ears.
Five thousand taels!
A total of five thousand taels!
She has never seen so much money in her life. Even if she and the Xie family fall out, she will not have to worry about living without money!
Xie Ming and Que were also very excited and glanced at the banknote in Xu's hand from time to time.
They have never seen so many banknotes!
"Mother is indeed right!" Xie Ming said with a sincere smile: "Fortunately, mother insisted on betting five hundred taels of silver, otherwise, how could I have made so much money now."
When Mrs. Xu said this, her heart ached and she couldn't help but sigh: "I was still too timid. I should have put down a thousand taels!"
Now there are ten thousand taels of silver!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu's heart ached like blood. She secretly made up her mind that if there is a similar opportunity in the future, she would never hesitate and she must trust Xie Mingxi wholeheartedly!
Xie Lanxi and Xie Yuanzhou also made a small fortune this time, and they were overjoyed to hold on to their own money.
"Grandma, when will cousin Mingxi come back?" Xie Yuanzhou couldn't wait to ask: "Cousin Mingxi has made a big appearance this time, I must congratulate her personally."
Xie Lanxi also smiled and said: "Yes! It's really gratifying that cousin Mingxi has made a name for herself in the capital this time and led a group of classmates to win first place. Shouldn't we set up a few banquets to celebrate?"
Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "Don't worry! Banquets are inevitable."
It's no one else's turn to worry about this matter.
As a person like Xie Jun, how could he let go of such a good opportunity to be in the limelight? He would definitely give a grand banquet.
Xie Yuanzhou couldn't help but ask: "Grandma, the competition has ended long ago. Why hasn't cousin Mingxi come back?"
The competition ended in the morning, but Xie Mingxi has not returned to Xie's house.
Mrs. Xu said affirmatively: "For such a happy event, I must have celebrated it with all my classmates and masters."
…
The famous Dingxiang Building in Beijing is famous for the third floor dedicated to welcoming female guests.
Today, the third floor of Dingxiang Building was occupied by Lianchi Academy. All the students of Lianchi Academy came, and all the masters came together with smiles on their faces.
Only Dong Hanlin was shameless in front of all the students. He claimed to be unwell and disappeared early on.
Master Ji smiled teasingly and said, "Master Dong may not be able to see anyone today."
Master Lian laughed softly and said, "Master Dong, will you be so ashamed that you can't see anyone?"
Everyone in Lianchi Academy knew that Dong Hanlin had made a bet with his students. This slapped Dong Hanlin in the face, and Dong Hanlin might voluntarily resign as his wife.
Master Su covered his mouth and smiled: "You are too underestimated Master Dong. As I expected, Master Dong must have gone back to strategize how to write "Women are better than men"!"
As soon as this statement came out, all the teachers laughed knowingly.
Master Yang especially laughed hard: "Master Dong was born in the Imperial Academy and has outstanding literary talent. This policy review will definitely be particularly brilliant. Let's just wait and see the good show and the excitement."
Even Gu Shanchang had a hint of smile in his eyes. However, he said lightly: "Everyone is just joking around today. From now on, don't mention it again in front of Master Dong."
All the masters agreed together, and then praised the students one after another.
Master Su praised Xie Mingxi and others who were among the top three in etiquette. Master Yang proudly praised the three students who participated in the music competition. Master Ji looked proud, and Master Lian looked full of energy.
When the last round of horse racing competition was mentioned, all the masters were very angry and they all criticized Shengxuan for "harming" the Sixth Princess.
Gu Shanchang's eyes flashed and he said calmly: "The King of Huainan has personally led Sheng Xuan into the palace to plead guilty. The Emperor has made his own decision on this matter!"
…
Students in the five dormitories each took a seat.
All twelve students from Haitang Academy came. Even Tong Yue, whose fever had not gone away, and Yan Zhenzhen, who had been "recuperating" in the mansion, also came.
"Thank you, sister, for taking the time to compete for me today." Tong Yue's eyes showed gratitude.
Xie Mingxi was in a very good mood. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "It's a little trivial matter, not worth mentioning. It's a pity that I couldn't get you the top three, only sixth place."
“The sixth place is also very impressive!”
Tong Yue was not close to Xie Mingxi in the past. After this incident, she was completely convinced. She looked at Xie Mingxi with admiration in her eyes: "You took first place in etiquette and arithmetic, and you didn't lag behind others in riding a horse. It's really admirable."
!”
All the classmates immediately echoed his words.
"Yes! Sister Xie is so proud and proud this time, and her scenery is unparalleled."
"This time, Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess also showed off her talents, and even Her Royal Highness the Fourth Prince was suppressed. It's really a relief!"
"Sister Li is also very good. She won the first place in the music competition!"
"So counting, out of the six courses in this academy competition, our Lotus Pond Academy won first place in five of them! Wow, wow, wow! It's really amazing!"
yes!
Five of the six courses won first place.
It’s unprecedented!
The sixth princess sitting next to Xie Mingxi also opened her mouth: "It's such a happy event, it doesn't hurt that we drink some fruit wine."
Fruit wine only has a faint taste of wine, but something is better than nothing!
This proposal immediately received response and support from everyone.
…
Among all the excited girls, only Yan Zhenzhen forced a smile on her face, but could not hide the gloomy look on her brows.
Before the competition, she was gearing up, thinking that she would show off her skills, win glory for Lianchi Academy, and make herself visible. As a result, she did "show herself"...
But in the most embarrassing way.
For the past two days, she had been hiding in the house and had no face to see anyone.
Until she was shocked to hear that Lianchi Academy won the first place, she was so surprised that she jumped three feet high. All the gloom, depression, and worries were forgotten. She came to the celebration banquet excitedly.
But as soon as I sat down, I felt deeply embarrassed.
Others participated in the competition, and the lowest rankings were seventh and eighth. She, the last one, sat in the middle with a face full of shame, and she couldn't open her mouth.
Xie Mingxi has always been sharp-tongued, so she will definitely not miss this great opportunity to humiliate her this time!
Sheng Jinyue and Fang Ruomeng, who she had laughed at before, must also be waiting to add insult to injury!
The more Yan Zhenzhen thought about it, the more she felt discouraged and her head dropped unconsciously.
"Yan Zhenzhen," a familiar voice suddenly sounded.
Yan Zhenzhen bit her lip and looked up at Xie Mingxi with a heroic look on her face: "If you want to laugh at me, just laugh!"
She didn’t have the nerve to fight back anyway!
However, Xie Mingxi raised his glass with a smile: "To celebrate the first place, drink this glass to the full!" (To be continued)
