"Guess who will be the top scorer this year?" Countless people were discussing this downstairs.
"Of course it's Master Bai Rong of Rongyu. He's won the first place in the Tongshi, Xiangshi, and Huishi examinations consecutively. Who else could compete with him?"
"That's not necessarily true. I heard that the person who ranked after Master Rong in the examination was also a young genius."
"He seems to be from Hanyang City. His name is Chanbei. He is twenty-two years old this year. He is known as a child prodigy and has extraordinary knowledge, comparable to Master Rong."
"Prodigy, isn't the one from Annan Marquis' Mansion also a famous prodigy? But he didn't even pass the imperial examination."
"This child prodigy is not that child prodigy, you may not know yet..." someone said mysteriously.
"You all know my wife is very talkative. She can always strike up a conversation with anyone."

The person next to him was crackling his melon seeds and urged, "Don't keep me in suspense, tell me now!"
"Rong Shihan's articles were plagiarized!" The man showed a look of dismay, "His famous poems were all copied from Rong Yubai's, and the mediocre ones were his own..."
"No wonder his knowledge is sometimes good and sometimes bad. Did he plagiarize it?"
"Think about it, before Rong Yubai's accident, he wasn't even famous. After the accident, he suddenly became famous throughout the capital."
"At that time, everyone thought that the Annan Marquis family had two geniuses, but it turns out that one of them was fake!"
"What do you mean two geniuses in one family? He doesn't even have a genius now. General Rong's family was kicked out long ago and even crossed out from the family tree."
"They don't even have a chance to win this genius. The honor of being the top three in the imperial examination belongs to the General's Mansion, and has nothing to do with the Annan Marquisate..."
"Ha, Lord Rong takes the family lintel very seriously, I wonder if he regrets it now..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard exclamations from the street.
"The imperial edict has come out, the imperial edict has come out..."
"Mr. Bai of Rongyu was officially recognized as the top scholar in the Imperial Palace..."
"Rong Yubai is the top scorer in high school and has won the first three places in the imperial examination!!"
