Chapter 34 Young Master has passed the Li Yuan exam!
However, Su Jinshi saw that Shen Shilang did not look nervous or worried at all, and was very confident about the results of this exam.
According to Shen Shilang, if he failed the exam, it must be because of cheating.
Su Jinshi was infected by Shen Shilang's attitude and was not too worried anymore.
So time passed even faster and it was time for the results announcement day.
Mrs. Wei took Wei Jianming and Wei Ruyan to wait early, in case there were too many people and they couldn't squeeze in if they arrived too late.
Su Jinshi also followed Shen Shilang to the place where the results were announced.
Shen Shilang looks thin, but due to his martial arts training, he has muscles when he takes off his clothes.
There were already quite a few people there when he got there, but Shen Shilang still managed to squeeze to the front.
Madam Wei sent her servants to clear the way ahead, squeezing out some space for Madam Wei, Wei Jianming and Wei Ruyan to stand.
The servants stood around them again to prevent anyone from crowding them.
Wei Jianming was very confident that he had done well in the exam and that even if his score was not particularly high, it should be above average.
So Mrs. Wei and Wei Ruyan started watching from the beginning.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they saw the first name, they were stunned.
"Impossible!" Wei Jianming screamed, and everyone around him looked at him in surprise.
"What are you looking at!" Wei Jianming said irritably and arrogantly to the people who were looking over.
Everyone snorted, rolled their eyes and didn't bother to look at him, continuing to stare at the list looking for their names.
"Is there someone with the same name?" Wei Jianming said with gritted teeth, "Of course there is someone with the same name. How could that loser pass the exam and become the top scorer!"
"Mother..." Wei Ruyan hugged Madam Wei's arm, "This...this champion, is it Shen Shilang?"
Madam Wei pursed her lips tightly and took several deep breaths before she spoke reluctantly, "I have never heard of anyone else named Shen Shilang in the city."
"Could it be... could it be that that loser really passed the exam and became a Liyuan?" Wei Ruyan said in disbelief.
Wei Jianming looked around, trying to find Shen Shilang.
He will definitely come to see the list today.
But I heard Madam Wei say, "First see if your second brother is here."
"Yes, yes." Wei Ruyan nodded, "We have to see what Second Brother does."
She was so shocked when she saw that the first place was Shen Shilang that she forgot about Wei Jianming.
Even Wei Jianming himself forgot to look at his own name.
Wei Jianming took a deep breath and looked down.
But no matter what ranking he is in, it doesn’t matter anymore.
Anyway, it is impossible to surpass Shen Shilang.
When he thought of this, Wei Jianming's face darkened.
Especially when he thought about what he had said to Shen Shilang before, Shen Shilang would definitely not be able to beat him in the exam.
Now I just feel my face hurts!
"Yes, I saw my second brother's name." Wei Ruyan shook Mrs. Wei's arm and pointed to the list, "It's over there, in the middle."
Mrs. Wei saw that Wei Jianming's name was indeed there, so she smiled and said to Wei Jianming, "Jianming, you passed the exam! You just have to wait until next spring to take the exam!"
But Wei Jianming did not feel the slightest joy of passing the imperial examination at this time. He only heard Wei Ruyan say in a daze: "Second brother, you are now also a juren."
Originally, even if he ranked in the middle, it would be something worth celebrating.
There are countless candidates who failed at this stage alone.
At this moment, many candidates have already left the crowd dejectedly.
Some people even lost their minds and went crazy. "I missed again! I missed again! Ah! How could this be? How could this be!"
Some candidates with gray hair even squatted down and cried with their heads in their hands.
But Wei Jianming didn't care about these at all. He turned around and looked for Shen Shilang.
At the same time, I heard people around me asking, "Who is Shen Shilang?"
"I don't know who this person is, but he got the Li Yuan in the middle school. That's amazing."
Wei Jianming finally saw Shen Shilang, and he impatiently pushed through the crowd and moved towards Shen Shilang.
But before others arrived, Shen Shilang left the crowd first because he had already seen Wei Jianming's name on the list.
Wei Jianming: “!!!”
"Jianming!" Madam Wei called him across the crowd, "Where are you going?"
Wei Jianming followed Shen Shilang's figure and walked out of the crowd.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
It was much easier to walk out than to squeeze in. Even so, when Wei Jianming squeezed out, his clothes were in a mess.
"Shen Shilang!" Wei Jianming howled. Although this shout stopped Shen Shilang's howling, it also attracted many people around.
When they heard the name Shen Shilang, everyone looked over, wanting to see who this year's champion was.
Shen Shilang paused for a moment and felt something was wrong. He didn't even dare to look back and just strode forward.
Wei Jianming became even more angry and chased after him, "Shen Shilang, how dare you ignore me!"
Shen Shilang looked back at Wei Jianming who was getting closer and closer, then looked at the others who were swarming over, and cursed, "Idiot!"
So he quickly ran away.
Although there were many people chasing him, none of them were as fast as Shen Shilang.
Shen Shilang arrived at Wei's Mansion first and saw Manager Yue waiting at the door of Wei's Mansion.
"Young Master Shen!" Seeing Shen Shilang coming back, Shopkeeper Yue called out in surprise and anticipation.
Shen Shilang didn't have time to say anything more and hurriedly pulled Manager Yue into the house.
"Young Master? What's wrong?" Shopkeeper Yue asked puzzledly.
"Wei Jianming called my name in public, causing many people to chase after him." Shen Shilang stopped and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the door of the mansion was closed.
"Why are they..." Chasing? Before he finished speaking, Shopkeeper Yue reacted and said in surprise: "Young Master has passed the Li Yuan exam!"
Shen Shilang bowed to Shopkeeper Yue and thanked him, "I would also like to thank Shopkeeper Yue for his care."
Shopkeeper Yue quickly avoided Shen Shilang's greeting and bowed to him, "I dare not take credit for it. My little effort cannot match your years of hard work."
"Sir, have you told the general about this happy event?" Shopkeeper Yue asked hurriedly.
"It's not too late yet." Shen Shilang said.
"That's right, I was just too impatient." Shopkeeper Yue nodded, "Then I'll send someone to tell the general!"
Wei Jianming calmed down a little. As there were too many people chasing Shen Shilang, Wei Jianming stopped and finally came back with Madam Wei and Wei Ruyan.
Passing the imperial examination was originally a good thing, but the joy was completely washed away by Shen Shilang's success in becoming the top scholar.
The atmosphere in the carriage was not good, and the air was filled with dark silence.
Wei Ruyan broke the silence and said, "That Shen Shilang really deceived us so much."
"Now it seems that we don't know how much he has deceived us. We originally thought that he was neither good at literature nor martial arts, but unexpectedly he was outstanding in martial arts and now he has passed the imperial examination." Wei Ruyan gritted her teeth in anger, "He has been keeping a low profile in the mansion for so many years, and he didn't even fight back when he was beaten. He is really patient!"
Madam Wei frowned and said, "So he deliberately concealed his poor performance in the previous exam? With his ability to win the first place, he wouldn't have only gotten a middle-of-the-pack ranking before."
