Chapter 38 Is Shen Shilang jealous?

"As for her marriage, there are too many things to consider. General Wei has a large army under his command, so he can't marry casually. He has to guard against the suspicion of His Majesty, and he has to guard against the family of the marriage alliance standing on the wrong side. If General Wei doesn't want to stand on the right side early, he must consider and choose carefully."

Su Jinshi nodded, "I see."

I thought the topic had come to an end, but unexpectedly Shen Shilang said, "The last time we saw Wei Ruyan and Cheng Ruoyu fighting for the hairpin in Zhenbaozhai, it was for the flower viewing banquet. Have you forgotten?"

Su Jinshi was no longer jealous.

And at the beginning, he just wanted to tease Shen Shilang a little. After all, a little teasing can cheer people up.

By the time she heard Shen Shilang finish speaking, she had already forgotten her initial teasing of Shen Shilang.

Unexpectedly, Shen Shilang teased her instead.

Su Jinshi had already started digging his fingers into the ground awkwardly through the phone.

"I don't remember much." Su Jinshi said stubbornly, "I don't remember those unimportant people. Unlike you, you remember them very clearly."

Shen Shilang was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and nodded with a smile, "Yes, then I won't remember these things in the future."

Su Jinshi hummed twice. Shen Shilang is really...getting better and better.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Cheng's house. Shen Shilang got off the carriage and handed over his invitation.

After passing the imperial examination, people became much more respectful to Shen Shilang.

"Mr. Shen!" The Cheng residence's housekeeper bowed and saluted Shen Shilang.

Shen Shilang also humbly returned the gift.

"Congratulations, Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen really brings honor to Chong'an!" Butler Lin's face was full of excitement.

"Thank you, Steward Lin. It is also Prefect Cheng who has provided a good study environment for us students." Shen Shilang said with a smile.

Steward Lin thought that this person was really good at talking, as he praised Magistrate Cheng in a very simple way.

If he enters the officialdom in the future, he will be a capable person.

Wei Jianming arrived half a step later than Shen Shilang because he had to send Wei Ruyan off.

But he arrived early enough to see Steward Lin being respectful to Shen Shilang at the door.

Steward Lin was about to take Shen Shilang to the banquet when he saw Wei Zhaoxian. He bowed to Wei Jianming first and said, "Mr. Wei, congratulations, Mr. Wei."

Butler Lin's attitude seemed no different from that towards Shen Shilang.

Wei Jianming clasped his fists and casually returned the salute.

Butler Lin didn't care. The other party was the son of General Guide's mansion, so naturally he looked down on a mere butler like him.

Steward Lin smiled and called another servant over, "Lead Master Wei."

After saying that, Steward Lin bowed to Shen Shilang again and extended his hand, "Mr. Shen, please follow me this way."

Shen Shilang glanced at Wei Jianming, and sure enough, Wei Jianming's face was as black as coal. He cupped his hands and said, "How dare I trouble Steward Lin to lead the way in person."

"It is my blessing to be able to lead Mr. Shen." Steward Lin said hurriedly.

So Shen Shilang followed Steward Lin.

Wei Jianming snorted angrily.

He was just a top scholar, but these slaves were so shallow that they ignored him, the son of General Guide, and went to please Shen Shilang.

Butler Lin didn't care when he heard Wei Jianming's undisguised anger, which was obviously meant for him.

If it were someone else, even if he was the second place compared to Wei Jianming, he would definitely give priority to pleasing Wei Jianming.

Although Mr. Shen's family background was not prominent, Steward Lin could see that Shen Shilang had a bright future after just a short meeting with him.

Shen Shilang is not only knowledgeable, but also not pedantic like other scholars, and is smooth and flexible.

With Shen Shilang's knowledge, he will definitely pass the imperial examination and even get into the top three.

If he enters the court in the future, he might have a bright future.

Butler Lin is still very optimistic about Shen Shilang.

The Lu Ming Banquet was held in the garden. Because the weather was hot, although it was already evening, the sun was still quite strong, so umbrellas were set up at every location to provide shade.

Under the umbrella are low tables and cushions.

A fruit plate and snacks have been placed on the low table.

Butler Lin took Shen Shilang to his seat, and Shen Shilang's seat was arranged very close to the front.

Apart from a few invigilators, there was no one else.

As soon as he sat down, a maid came to fill his cup of tea.

Not long after, Wei Jianming also arrived.

The servant brought him to his seat, and Wei Jianming discovered that his seat was in the middle, quite far away from Shen Shilang.

Why is Shen Shilang sitting so close to the front? Wei Jianming snorted coldly. Before he sat down, he heard someone calling him, "Jianming!"

Wei Jianming looked carefully and saw that it was Liang Shigang, Ke Hongbin, Cheng Jianfeng and Zhang Tianran who had arrived.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Cheng Jianfeng's ranking is slightly higher than Wei Jianming's, but also in the middle range.

Liang Shigang and Ke Hongbin were in the second half, and Zhang Tianran was the last to pass.

The four people's seats were quite close to Wei Jianming, so they did not sit down but went straight to find Wei Jianming.

Seeing how sneaky they were, Su Jinshi said to Shen Shilang, "Look at the four of them with shifty eyes. I wonder what they are up to. I'll go over and take a look."

After hearing Su Jinshi's evaluation of the four of them as "sly and shifty", Shen Shilang paused, "The four of them are also somewhat famous in Chong'an. In addition to their good family backgrounds, they are also good-looking. Do you think they are shifty and shifty?"

"It's a kind of temperament. Although he looks okay, he behaves sneakily and looks like a shifty person." Su Jinshi's tone was full of disgust.

Shen Shilang chuckled. He didn't expect that the four people's looks were just okay in Su Jinshi's eyes.

Shen Shilang felt an indescribable joy in his heart. It seemed that Su Jinshi liked him so much, which meant that he was more handsome than the other four.

[System: Shen Shilang’s Favorability +10]

Su Jinshi: “!!!”

What's going on?

Why did Shen Shilang suddenly increase his favorability? What did she say to make this gentleman so happy?

Immediately afterwards, Shen Shilang suddenly thought of a very serious problem.

"I must be prettier than them, right?" Shen Shilang asked Su Jinshi.

"Of course, how can they compare with you." Su Jinshi said without thinking.

Unexpectedly, Shen Shilang's expression did not improve at all, but became even more weird.

Su Jinshi was just feeling strange when she heard Shen Shilang say in a gloomy tone, "Then if you meet someone prettier than me in the future, will you go find that person?"

Thinking of this possibility, Shen Shilang couldn't help but feel sulky.

This female pervert just likes good-looking people.

If she meets someone who is more handsome than him, she will definitely go to that person and touch this and that.

When he thought of this scene, Shen Shilang became even angrier.

"You better be careful." Shen Shilang said sarcastically, "Others may not be as easy to accept you as I am. They may even find a capable Taoist to drive you away."

Su Jinshi: “…”

Could it be that Shen Shilang is jealous?

"Don't worry, no one is prettier than you." Su Jinshi was very sure.
