Chapter 142 The Legend of the Shen Family
At the Shen family, with Shen Mingzhu's powerful pills, old man Shen quickly woke up.
As soon as he woke up, he asked Shen Lao San: "What happened to me?"
"You just fainted from joy."
Old Man Shen looked at the crowd around him and asked in amazement:
"So, does that mean I wasn't dreaming just now?"
"You are not dreaming, this is real, we really passed the exam."
When Old Man Shen heard this, he completely forgot that he had fainted from excitement just now. He jumped up excitedly like a monkey and laughed loudly towards the sky:
"Haha, we passed the exam, we really passed it, I actually got 101st place, and you, hahahaha, my third son, you actually got first place in the exam, hahaha, champion!"
“Thanks to our ancestors for blessing us!!”
Shen Mingzhu was speechless. Rather than saying it was the blessing of her ancestors, it would be more accurate to say it was the blessing of her, Shen Mingzhu.
If she hadn't given the old man so many pills, there's no way he would have been able to pass the imperial examination.
Old man Shen was so excited that his whole body was shaking, and he began to boast proudly:
"As expected of my son, the third brother is really capable. He got first place in the imperial examination! He got the top prize! Hahahaha"
Shen Laosan was also very excited. It would be a lie to say he was not excited. To be honest, this time candidates from all over the country came to take part in the imperial examination. He was not sure he would get first place, but he did really well this time!
The top 300 candidates in the joint examination will participate in the palace examination. The top 300 candidates are already guaranteed to be Jinshi graduates, and the first place in the joint examination is already a guaranteed Jinshi graduate.
Not to mention the Jinshi, even the Jinshi candidates are very impressive. The difficulty is extremely high!
Shen Mingzhu smiled and gave Shen Laosan a thumbs up, praising him sweetly, "Daddy is awesome!"
Su was also very happy. She took Shen Lao San's hand and praised him:
"My husband is amazing. Try to pass the imperial examination and let me be his wife."
Shen Lao San blushed shyly. Why is my wife so proactive today? I really want to go back to the room with my wife and kiss her!
As the first place winner in the imperial examination, Shen Ruhai's name spread throughout the capital, and people were curious about what this young champion looked like.
Someone dug up Shen Ruhai's name and his previous achievements. A student from Wanxian Prefecture told the legendary story of Shen Ruhai in a restaurant.
It is said that Shen Ruhai passed the examination to become a student when he was a teenager, but then he became decadent for more than ten years. During these ten years, he was idle and did not read at all. Then, for some reason, Shen Ruhai suddenly picked up the books again.
Then, in the same year, Shen Ruhai passed the exam and ranked first in the scholar category, and then he passed the exam and ranked first in the juren category. Not only did he win two first places in a row, but he also happened to encounter the three-year major examination, and now he passed the exam and ranked first in the joint examination. He was simply a legendary figure.
Not only that, Shen Ruhai's father, Shen Shiwang, is an old scholar for many years.
A few years before Shen Shiwang passed the examination for the scholar, he had taken the examination for the juren several times, but failed each time. He then returned home to teach. However, he did not expect that when Shen Ruhai picked up his books again.
His father Shen Shiwang also started picking up books. This was a big deal. Both father and son took the exam at the same time, passed the examination at the same time, and now they both passed the examination to become tribute students.
What is most amazing is that Shen Ruhai has an older son, Shen Mingshu. Shen Mingshu is very smart and just like his father, he passed the imperial examination and ranked first among scholars at the age of twelve.
When the people in the restaurant heard this, they all took a deep breath and opened their mouths wide.
Someone exclaimed: "A twelve-year-old scholar? Isn't this the best in Daqian?"
"That's not right. The youngest scholar in our Daqian seems to be... No, the youngest scholar before was Shen Ruhai?"
This made everyone exclaim, "Oh my God! Is the Shen family's ancestral grave smoking? Three outstanding scholars have emerged from the same family?"
"Damn, what kind of shit luck does the Shen family have? Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren are all talented!"
The student from Wanxian Prefecture smiled mysteriously and said to everyone:
"This is not the most surprising thing. Guess what is the most shocking thing about his family?"
"What is it?"
Everyone stopped eating and looked at the student curiously, wanting to hear about Huiyuan's family.
This is the biggest news right now!
This is the first place in the country!
Being able to hear the gossip about the Huiyuan family was enough for them to brag about for a while.
The student kept it a secret and said, "Let me tell you! The most powerful person in the Shen family is not Shen Ruhai, not Shen Shiwang, and not Shen Ruhai's eldest son Shen Mingshu, but Shen Ruhai's only daughter."
Having said this, the student paused, deliberately arousing people's curiosity.
Someone couldn't wait to ask, "What happened to his daughter? Tell me! I'm so worried."
The student scanned everyone's faces before slowly asking:
"Do you know that the emperor canonized a peasant girl as a county lady?"
"Know"
"I've heard about this. What does this have to do with Shen Ruhai's family?"
The student said with an exaggerated expression: "It's a very important relationship, because! The Mingzhu Xiangjun personally conferred by the emperor is Shen Ruhai's only daughter."
"hiss!"
There was a sound of inhalation in the restaurant hall. Everyone was stunned with shock, wondering if they had heard it wrong.
Shen Mingzhu and her friends had no idea that someone had already dug up their family history.
After Shen Mingzhu was excited, she returned to her embroidery building. Aunt Ruoming and the two little girls Yunqing and Yunhong came forward to congratulate her happily. Shen Mingzhu excitedly rewarded each of them with one or two taels of silver.
Aunt Ruoming was very happy when she saw Shen Mingzhu, who had delicate features and picturesque eyes and eyebrows.
When she was chosen to serve the young master, she was a little nervous at first, thinking that such a young child, and a girl from a farm family, would be difficult to serve.
However, they didn't expect that the little master was not only smart, but also cute and charming. Most importantly, the little master was different from ordinary children and was genuinely kind to them.
Now, the young master is no longer a peasant girl. The young master's family is getting better and better with their own strength, and they, the servants, have also benefited from it.
Shen Mingzhu entered the space very comfortably, but Shen Laosan was very annoyed.
He looked at the stack of notes in his hand with mixed feelings, especially when he saw the three words "Pang Tai Shi Mansion".
Old Third Shen frowned and finally decided to go to Shangshu Zhang's residence first to keep the appointment, and then go to Grand Tutor Pang's residence.
He wanted to see what tricks Master Pang was trying to play.
Just as Shen Laosan made the decision, Tang Renhe and three of Shen Laosan's classmates from Wanxianzhou who had a good relationship with him came over.
"Brother Shen, congratulations!"
"Congratulations to Brother Shen for passing the exam. Brother Shen is a role model for us!"
"Yes! Brother Shen, congratulations to you and your uncle for passing the exam."
Of the four people who came, except Tang Ren and Shen Ruhai who were both from Wuxi County, Jiang Yushan, Li Xuanfeng and Chu Feiran were all from other places in Wanxian Prefecture.
However, they took part in the imperial examination in Wanxian Prefecture together with Shen Lao San at that time, and later met at the Lu Ming Banquet and had a good relationship.
"Congratulations, Brother Tang, Brother Jiang, and Brother Chu."
"Same joy, same joy"
After a round of greetings, Shen Lao San asked the servants to bring some fresh fruit. The four of them began to talk about the imperial examination and their future plans.
Tang Ren fell behind in the parking space this time and just ranked 299th. Chu Feiran did better than Tang Ren and ranked 65th, while Li Xuanfeng did not make it into the top .
Li Xuanfeng said that he planned to go back and review and take part in the examination next time.
The other three were preparing to take part in the palace examination.
As for Shen Mingzhu, as soon as she entered the space, she suddenly thought of Wang Mang on the other side of the white fog. As soon as she walked into the white fog, she saw Wang Mang sitting at the exit of the white fog.
Wang Mang held his chin with both hands and looked into the white mist, as if he was thinking or waiting for someone.
Wang Mang saw Shen Mingzhu and stood up in surprise: "Zhuzhu, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for so long."
