Chapter 73 Part 6 (1/2)
Then why does Xiao Deyin insist on choosing Jiang You Yao instead of Jiang Li? Is it possible that Xiao Deyin also received Ji Shuran’s silver? That’s not possible, Xiao Deyin is a teacher at Ming Yi Hall, leading a prosperous life. Moreover, at one time, she even declined being the court’s musician. From there it could be seen that she’s someone who is not greedy and seeking high position and great wealth. Her reason couldn’t be because of money.
Jinghong fairy had a hard time understanding.
Nevertheless, Xiao Deyin had a rarely seen persistence.
Tt was even more impossible for Mian Ju to give up, even Shi Jian didn’t say a word. Jinghong fairy hesitated for a while before saying: “Or what if this time we have two people for first position?”
It’s not that being tied in first position had never happened in the examinations before. It was also because both parties were equally matched and it was really difficult to decide and they were left with no other choice.
Mian Ju smiled sarcastically: “But Jiang Li was obviously much better than Jiang You Yao!” This meant he disagreed with the idea.
This couldn’t do, that also couldn’t do. As a result, the situation came to a deadlock.
The examiners were slow in coming out with the result and gradually, all the people in the venue started to notice.
“What’s happening? Why haven’t they announced the names?”
“Just now I seemed to see Master Mian Ju pointed at Jiang second miss and Jiang third miss. Is it difficult to choose?”
“That’s true, Jiang second miss and Jiang third miss were both fantastic. However, I prefer Jiang third miss, she’s really beautiful! In the past, Jiang third miss always occupied first place in qin.”
“I actually prefer Jiang second miss. That’s because nobody has ever played the 《Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute》 before.”
Jiang You Yao saw that side was late in announcing the results and a gleam of hope once again rose in her heart. Even if they were tied for first position, she would feel better than if Jiang Li was on top of her.
