The soft morning light shone through the large windows into the bright and spacious school building. Several girls aged eleven or twelve were sitting at the table, talking and laughing in low voices.
Qin Sihun, Yan Zhenzhen, Xiao Yuhan, and Yin Xiaoxiao are all familiar faces.
Li Xiangru, dressed in a scarlet dress and skirt, is also among them. She has a beautiful appearance, dignified temperament, and a smile on her lips. She is the most eye-catching among the girls.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the girls all looked over.
After seeing the face of the visitor clearly, the smile on Li Xiangru's face suddenly faded.
Second place!
In the eyes of others, this is such a glorious scene. To Li Xiangru, it is a great humiliation.
The dignified legitimate daughter of the Li family was defeated at the hands of a mere concubine of the Xie family!
It’s okay to lose to others, but she actually lost to the insidious and cunning Xie Mingxi! When she thought about how powerful Xie Mingxi would show off in front of her, she was extremely upset. She had been unhappy these past few days, and it was not until today that she felt a little better.
Get better.
When I saw Xie Mingxi at this time, my mood instantly became gloomy.
Xie Mingxi didn't seem to notice Li Xiangru's ugly face. After greeting Yin Xiaoxiao and others one by one, she looked at Li Xiangru with a smile: "Sister Li came early today!"
Li Xiang hummed with a smile on his face.
Since Lin Weiwei was on good terms with Xie Mingxi, she couldn't bear to see Li Xiangru being so indifferent. She deliberately smiled and said: "Sister Xie, you won the first place in the exam this time, which is quite famous in the capital. I won the second place in the exam."
Third, I wonder who the person who got second place is?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Weiwei, who looks delicate and beautiful, is also a wilted master.
Xie Mingxi felt sympathy for Lin Weiwei and responded with a smile: "It's Sister Li."
Lin Weiwei pretended to be surprised: "It turns out that Sister Li came second in the exam. Although she is slightly inferior to Sister Xie, it is already very rare."
Li Xiangru: "..."
What a Lin Weiwei! I will remember you today!
…
Come on!
On the first day of registration, I fought first!
Yan Zhenzhen, who was familiar with Li Xiangru, immediately smiled and helped: "Sister Li has outstanding talents and unparalleled piano skills. We all admire her very much. Sister Lin, on the other hand, wasted her time in the past three years and got third place in the exam this year. It's really true."
Surprising.”
Lin Weiwei stayed out of the examination room for three consecutive years, registering every year and missing the exam every year, which has long become a joke among the ladies.
Yan Zhenzhen deliberately mentioned this matter, obviously intending to poke Lin Weiwei's pain point.
No wonder Yan Zhenzhen was unhappy. She was very confident and thought she would be in the top three this time. She never thought that she would only get fourth place in the exam. Lin Weiwei, who came in third, was displeased, which was natural.
Lin Weiwei smiled faintly: "Sister Yan came fourth in the exam. Although she is slightly behind me, she is still very good."
Yan Zhenzhen: "..."
Direct and refreshing!
Xie Mingxi secretly said yes, seeing that Lin Weiwei was more pleasing to the eye.
Different ways do not lead to mutual conspiracies. It is a good thing that she intends to be friends with Lin Weiwei and has the same temperament.
Yan Zhenzhen was pampered at home and had never been rude in speech. Lin Weiwei choked her to the point where she couldn't speak for a long time and looked quite ugly.
Li Xiangru saw that Xie Mingxi was dissatisfied in every way, and even lost his favorable impression of Lin Weiwei. He twitched his lips and said: "Sister Lin got third place in the exam, so there is no need to be so proud and arrogant."
Xie Mingxi answered the question naturally: "Sister Li is right. Even if you are proud, you should stick to me first."
Li Xiangru: "..."
Ahhhhh!
Why did she take second place instead of first place?
Now I am being suppressed everywhere, even bickering and even unable to straighten my back. It is really hateful and annoying!
…
Qin Sihun, who has a gentle temperament, smoothed things over with a smile: "It's a great pleasure for us to be admitted to Lianchi Academy together and become classmates. Why care about your rank!"
Yin Xiaoxiao immediately answered the question: "Isn't that right? I was at the bottom of the rankings, and my father was still very happy. He set off firecrackers for three days in a row, making the neighbors unable to sleep peacefully. It made me almost embarrassed to go out and meet people.
If someone asked me what rank I got in the exam, I would be embarrassed to open my mouth."
The humorous self-deprecation immediately amused all the girls.
The originally tense and tense atmosphere also melted away.
After all, they were just a group of half-grown children, and their anger faded away quickly. Even the arrogant Yan Zhenzhen soon started to smile and started joking with everyone.
After a while, the remaining three freshmen arrived one by one, all of whom were also noble ladies from the capital.
Mu Wanting, who has an oval face and is beautiful, is the eldest daughter of Mu Shilang of the Ministry of Industry.
Tong Yue, who is petite and cute, is the granddaughter of Tong Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice.
Fang Ruomeng, who is slender, delicate and elegant, is the granddaughter of the old man of Fangge. However, she is not a legitimate daughter, but a concubine. Among a group of legitimate daughters, Fang Ruomeng consciously lowers her head and looks a bit reserved and cramped.
.
When the girls heard that Fang Ruomeng was also a concubine, they subconsciously looked at Xie Mingxi.
Xie Mingxi was calm and smiled at Fang Ruomeng: "I am also a commoner."
Fang Ruomeng felt slightly relieved and responded softly: "I know."
Xie Mingxi won the first place in the exam, and no one could match her popularity. Being born a concubine, it was naturally known to everyone. However, no one lamented Xie Mingxi's concubine status, but praised Xie Jun for his skill in raising his daughter.
It can also be seen from this that everyone in the world is snobbish. Winning the first place in the exam is the most powerful proof. Even if you are a commoner, you are still famous.
As they were both concubines, Fang Ruomeng suddenly felt close to Xie Mingxi.
Xie Mingxi did not hesitate to express her kindness and asked with a smile: "Are you the only one from the Fang family to come to Lianchi Academy this year?"
Fang Ruomeng composed himself and replied: "Of course there are more than one. My cousins all came to take the exam. It's just that I was the only one who passed the exam."
Her direct cousins failed, but she, a concubine who was usually inconspicuous, passed the exam. In the past few days, the Fang family's house had been almost non-stop.
Fang Ruo's dream words are unclear, how can the girls not guess it?
Yan Zhenzhen said bluntly: "I'm afraid your birth mother's life will not be easy."
Fang Ruomeng smiled a little bitterly and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Xie Mingxi's biological mother, Haolai, was brought into the concubine's house seriously. Her biological mother, however, was born as a maid and did not even have the status of a concubine.
She was the daughter of a maid, and among the granddaughters of the Fang family, she was like a shadow, unnoticed and inconspicuous.
She studied with her sisters on weekdays, and she had to hide her clumsiness so as not to make her sisters jealous and her aunt displeased.
This time she came to take the exam at Lianchi Academy, and she passed the exam in one fell swoop. Even if she was ranked ninth, it was enough to show up in the Fang family and feel proud. Her grandfather, who never had to look at her in the eyes, was much kinder to her.
Xie Mingxi said calmly: "There are differences between concubines and concubines. The world is like this, and no one can change it. However, you don't need to feel inferior because of this. You and I relied on our own abilities to get into the academy with dignity. Who dares to look down on you and me?"
