Chapter 574 Main Text Finale
As the top scorer of this year's exam, Shen Kesi is naturally the most eye-catching one.
He was riding a tall horse, wearing a red silk flower on his head, and looking very high-spirited.
Thinking that his sister was standing in front of Lianxiangzhai watching him go over, a smile suddenly appeared on Shen Kesi's face.
When he smiled, he looked as gentle as jade and extraordinarily handsome.
Everyone waiting on the street was stunned. They didn't expect that this year's top scorer would be so young.
"The champion smiled. He is so handsome."
"In the past, the third place winner was always more handsome, but I didn't expect this year's first place winner to be so good-looking as well."
"This year's number one scholar is the second son of the Shen family, so his appearance is naturally not bad."
"The second son of the Shen family? I was wondering why he looked familiar. It turns out he is Little Master Shen's brother."
"That's right, there is no one in the Shen family who is not good-looking."
"The third son of the Shen family also passed the imperial examination this year. He followed the parade this time, right behind."
"Is this true? We have to see the Third Young Master of the Shen Family later."
"This year's third place winner is also very handsome."
"I know the third place winner. It's Xue Cong, the young marquis of Guangping Marquisate."
"The runner-up looks quite elegant, but he's a bit old."
"The second place is not from the capital, but Wei Gan, the eldest son of the Wei family in Ji County. He already has a wife and children in his hometown. But the first and third place winners have not yet arranged to get married."
Just as the team took a few steps, flower handkerchiefs were thrown towards Shen Kesi and Xue Cong from time to time.
Wei Gan also received some flowers, but not as many as the other two.
Seeing that he was about to pass by Lianxiangzhai, Shen Kesi looked up at the window on the second floor, and sure enough, he saw Shen Huazheng sticking her head out and waving at him.
Shen Kesi smiled and waved to Shen Huazheng.
"Strange, where is the top scholar looking? Why do I feel like he is smiling at someone?"
"I saw it too. It seemed to be heading towards the private room of Lianxiangzhai. Could it be that he has a crush on someone?"
"What sweetheart? The top scholar is looking at his own sister - Little Lady Shen."
"Yes, wasn't that Mr. Shen standing at the window just now?"
"I would have forgotten about Little Master Shen if you hadn't mentioned him. The Shen family is really amazing now. Except for Madam Shen, the rest are either already officials or are about to enter the officialdom."
"The Shen family is really amazing. Four Hanlin scholars and five Jinshi scholars in three generations."
When the people around heard this, they couldn't help but ask, "Why is it four..."
The man paused halfway through his words.
Others also remembered that the late Old Master Shen was also a Hanlin scholar.
Now that Shen Kesi has been chosen as the top scholar, he will definitely enter the Hanlin Academy.
Add Shen Zhaonian and Shen Keting, and that makes four Hanlin scholars in three generations.
It is such an honor to have five Jinshi in one family.
Not to mention the three generations and four Hanlins!!
When the team passed by Lianxiangzhai, a gorgeous flower was suddenly thrown down from above and hit Shen Kesi's robe directly.
Shen Kesi was well prepared. He gently pinched the crabapple flower with his fingertips and inserted it on his lapel.
When Shen Huazheng saw that the flowers she threw down were caught steadily by Shen Kesi, she also smiled brightly.
You know what, my second brother looks really good wearing crabapple flowers.
I’ll give one to my third brother later.
Xue Cong, who was standing behind, watched this scene with a slight gleam in his eyes.
Shen Keheng also sat on his tall horse with his head held high, enjoying the joy and excitement of the moment.
This time he got the sixth place in the second class. The first class was awarded "Jinshi Jidi", the second class was awarded "Jinshi Chuanchu", and the third class was awarded "Tong Jinshi Chuanchu".
Not only were the Shen and Zhou families very happy, but Shen Keheng himself was also very satisfied with the result.
Although he is not as good as his elder and second brothers, he is also a Jinshi after all.
Lianxiangzhai is right in front, and his sister must be waiting for him there.
It doesn’t matter what others give me, what matters is that it’s given by my sister.
When passing by Lianxiangzhai, Shen Keheng also received the crabapple flowers thrown down from upstairs by Shen Huazheng.
He happily put the flower in his hair, straightened his back, and continued riding his horse.
Since the flowers were sent by my sister, they should naturally be placed in the most conspicuous place so that everyone can have a good look at them.
Nangong Yixian stood in the crowd, quietly watching the team passing by.
I’m lucky today, as I can see the top three talents of Daliang.
Nangong Yixian watched the team gradually walk away. Just as he was about to go to the food court to see if there were any new delicacies, he heard the surrounding discussions -
"I heard that the first-class porridge just launched by Yipinlou was made by Xiaosama Shen for her two brothers before the imperial examination."
"Is this true? The two young men of the Shen family were able to pass the imperial examination this time. Isn't it related to the top scholar porridge?"
"Although it sounds a bit weird, I think it's possible. Although Shen Kesi is talented, he is still a little young. Logically speaking, he has a high chance of being selected as the third place, so how come he became the first place?"
"Perhaps Miss Shen is a blessed person herself, and this top scholar porridge represents her blessing. All candidates who eat this porridge should be able to do well in the exam."
"What you said makes sense. My nephew also studied in the Imperial College. He said that Xue Cong would have lunch with the Shen brothers every day. The Shen brothers would often share the food sent by the Shen family with him. Maybe Xue Cong also ate the top scholar porridge at that time."
"That's incredible. Those who ate the Zhuangyuan Jidi porridge produced a top scholar and a third scholar. If someone in your family is going to take the imperial examination, you have to buy this porridge to try it no matter how expensive it is."
"Then I have to take my son to Yipinlou to taste the Zhuangyuan Jidi Congee."
"I have to hurry to Yipinlou to make a reservation, before they are all sold out."
"No one in my family wants to take the imperial examination, but I want to give it a try. Maybe I can get some good fortune."
"You guys go to Yipinlou. I'm going to the food court. I heard that because both of the Shen family's sons passed high school, there is an area in the food court where free food is provided. As long as you come forward to congratulate the Shen family, you can get one."
"Then I want to go too. It doesn't cost any money and I can share in the festive atmosphere."
Nangong Yixian listened to the conversations of the people around him with a smile on his face.
Zhuangyuan Jidi porridge?
It sounds quite interesting.
He looked at Qin Jia: "Let's go to Yipin Building."
