While Shen Xingwan was decomposing and identifying the candle materials, and Chanyi was testing Fu Jingchao's blood, the final imperial examination of Chunwei finally began.
It has attracted almost everyone's attention and can be said to be the center of attention.
Shen Qingran has always been thorough in her work. On the day the results were released, she came over specially to ask Shen Xingwan to watch them together.
"I've booked the best room on the street where they are parading. Let's go see it together."
Shen Xingwan was also very interested in the No. 1 Scholar Parade, and wanted to see what was said, "If you are proud of the spring breeze and your horse is hoofed, you can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day."
The two of them arrived at the reserved restaurant early, and as soon as they entered the door, they met Su Jingyi and the Su sisters.
Shen Xingwan calmly withdrew his gaze and walked upstairs without squinting.
When Shen Xingwan walked in, Su Jingtian, who had had a fight with her, snorted coldly, "Look at her proud and arrogant look."
Originally, Su Jingtian thought she would never see Shen Xingwan again in this life, but she didn't expect that she would return to Beijing and be doing well?
Su Jingyi didn't say anything, she just said, "Let's go up too."
For her, the most important thing today is Shen Yu's results.
She knew that this cheap brother could study since he was a child, and she was betting on him.
After staying in Shengjing for so long, Su Jingyi has long known the importance of power and background.
It would be a great blessing for her if she could have a talented brother in high school.
Candidates have to go to the Imperial College to worship, then attend a banquet given by the emperor, and finally parade through the streets. They have to go there in the afternoon.
The two of them were not in a hurry when they arrived at the private room facing the street, drinking tea and eating snacks.
Looking across the street, I saw little girls from time to time in the open windows, talking and laughing like them, waiting for the top pick to parade through the streets.
"It's really lively." Shen Xingwan couldn't help but sigh.
Shen Qingran didn't seem to be affected by that night, and smiled in a good mood, "Last time, Chunwei disappointed everyone. The number one winner was a middle-aged man in his forties. The number one guy got married young, and he could barely see the flowers."
The most popular ones this year are all young and good-looking. The most important thing is that according to rumors, they are good-looking.
So for a while, it attracted many people to watch the parade, which was especially lively this year.
After half of the snacks on the table were finished, the street became more and more lively, with a sea of people, men, women, old and young, all coming to watch.
"The number one scholar is here!"
I don't know who screamed, and the crowd instantly became commotion.
Shen Xingwan wiped his hands with a handkerchief, stood up and looked out the window with Shen Qingran. From a distance, he saw a team riding horses.
Soon the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers was heard.
The team slowly walked in, and the officers and soldiers cleared the way.
A few naughty children, dressed in festive clothes, walked in front holding the arch.
Qingran said excitedly, "It's my brother."
Shen Xingwan looked closely and saw Shen Mochen, wearing a black gauze hat and a vermilion scholar's robe, riding a horse slowly.
Normally, Shen Mochen rarely wears such colorful clothes. Today, with his hair worn like this, his skin is whiter and more beautiful.
Fortunately, his aura is still strong, and he looks elegant while sitting on the horse.
"Wow, this year's top pick is so good-looking."
"I'm going to throw him the flowers and handkerchief later!"
The girls instantly became excited and the crowd became noisy.
While Shen Xingwan was happy, he also took a special look at Bang Yan and Tan Hua. They were both young and good-looking. The most important thing was that he didn't see Shen Yu.
Sure enough, Shen Yu's line was messed up.
In the private room next to them, Su Jingtian was covering her mouth and laughing, "Oh, didn't you say that your brother is very powerful? Why is he not among the top three?"
Su Jingyi's face also darkened a bit, and she quickly said with a smile, "Chunwei is originally Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. It would be great if my brother can succeed."
Su Jingtian was still as angry as she was when she was a child, and said in a very shameless manner, "Hypocritical."
He obviously looked very unwilling and said that as long as he won, it would be fine.
"I heard that the number one scholar is that person's brother. She is really lucky, don't you think so?" Su Jingtian continued.
When she was a child, she and Shen Xingwan were at odds with each other, but over the years, she couldn't stand Su Jingyi's hypocritical behavior, and would take jabs at her every chance she got.
Su Jingyi really can't do anything to her. Su Jingtian thinks she has no brains. She just speaks quickly every time and says she has brains. Her words are very irritating.
When Shen Mochen approached on horseback, he was immediately surrounded by flowers and handkerchiefs.
There was also a bold and aggressive woman who stood on the street and loudly said, "The number one scholar is so handsome, I wonder if he will get married. I have a little girl at home who is as beautiful as a flower..."
"What kind of girl does the number one scholar like..."
Someone started making noises again, and the number one scholar secretly turned red after being teased.
The people are open and open, and the defense of big women is not strict. Especially in this kind of situation, these remarks will not be criticized and everyone will just treat them as a joke.
When Shen Mochen, covered in flowers, walked under their window, Shen Xingwan threw one into his arms very accurately.
Probably feeling something in his heart, Shen Mochen looked up after receiving the flowers.
Seeing it was her and Shen Qingran, they smiled at him.
Shen Mochen was always good-looking, but his smile made several girls blush.
Shen Xingwan waved to him.
Watching Shen Mochen continue to walk forward, the two of them prepared to go home.
Shen Mochen is a rare third-level candidate this time. The Shen family has returned to everyone's attention through this much-anticipated imperial examination.
The door of Shen's mansion was almost broken down, and almost all the high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing who received the news sent people to congratulate him.
In the most well-informed and lively teahouse, the storyteller had already started to explain the family background of the newly crowned champion.
"Jiangnan Shenshi." This name that has been silent for a long time has returned to the public eye, bringing with it a heavy and proud past.
For such a big happy event, the fourth wife, who had been resting in bed, was forced to dress up and stand up to take charge of the overall situation.
Without even daring to show any discomfort, more people came to congratulate me than expected.
Almost as soon as the fourth wife finished socializing, she couldn't hold on and almost fell down. Finally, she was supported by the maid and carried back to the room.
Shen Qingran and Shen Xingwan didn't care about this. They sat in the courtyard together and waited for all the lists to be copied and sent in.
It wasn't until late in the evening that the list came in.
Shen Xingwan read it from beginning to end and found out that the number one person in the second division was also a son of the Shen family. The rankings that the Shen family came to refer to were all pretty good.
And Shen Yu is ranked in the second and thirteenth, and he is considered to be from the same background as a Jinshi.
It's not as good as the original work, but if you look at it in the context of the imperial examination system, it can be regarded as someone who has survived high school, but I don't know what he thinks in his heart.
Shen Qingran said, "Father just said that the family dinner will be held tomorrow night. They will definitely be entangled and unable to come back tonight."
Sure enough, several people came back in the middle of the night and were almost all drunk.
