[Hehe... With these things, the little tricks that Prince Rui's mansion used to help Wang Wenjie won't work anymore.]
I remember the book said that Wang Wenjie was able to get the top score because Si Mingchen helped him cheat in the exam.
Inside the venue were examiners from Prince Rui's faction. He put laxatives in the tea of Zhao Rui, a favorite to win the championship at the time, causing him to suffer from severe abdominal pain and have diarrhea eight times a day.
I was completely exhausted, so naturally I didn't do well on the test.
Bai Mo's seat was moved next to the outhouse. Bai Mo had been unable to eat for three days and was vomiting repeatedly, so he had no interest in taking the exam.
As a result, neither of these two favorites to win the championship even made it into the top three.
This time, the Prince Rui's mansion has witnessed my elder brother's prowess, and they'll likely employ even more methods. With these things, we can help him pass the exam smoothly.
[As long as these injuries don't fall on our eldest brother, with his abilities, becoming the top scholar won't be a problem! Hehehe...]
Sheng Wanwan's smile widened at the thought. What she was most looking forward to was that divine talisman. She really hoped that Wang Wenjie would be ruthless towards her older brother, so that the divine talisman's effect on Wang Wenjie would be more interesting...
Sheng Wenjin looked at the purse, talisman, and antidote pill in Sheng Wanwan's hand and felt a warmth in his heart.
He smiled at Sheng Wanwan:
"Thank you, Wanwan. Stay home and wait for your big brother to bring you back with the highest score in the imperial examination..."
"Yes! I believe in my brother!"
Sheng Wanwan smiled sweetly, stuffed the purse, talisman, and antidote pill into Sheng Wenjin's arms, then turned and walked to Chu Shi, waving to Sheng Wenjin.
Sheng Wenjin waved to his family and turned to walk into the examination hall.
"Hey, do you guys know that woman next to Madam Sheng? She's so beautiful, and the Second Young Master Sheng is so gentle with her. Who is she? Could she be the Second Young Master Sheng's future wife?"
"Ha... What madam! She is the least favored illegitimate daughter of Prince Rui's mansion. Her birth mother was Su Rui'er, a famous courtesan from Jiangnan, who has been dead for five or six years! She has a low status, and don't be fooled by her good looks, she is actually a complete idiot."
How could someone like that possibly become the young mistress of a general's mansion? I think she's destined to be nothing more than a plaything!
"Indeed, this concubine's daughter from the Prince Rui's mansion is named Si Rouxue. She was won first place at the poetry competition a few days ago by the Second Young Master Sheng. Right now, the Second Young Master Sheng seems to like her, after all, she's incredibly beautiful! But in the long run, will the Second Young Master Sheng still treat her well? At that time, her situation in the General's mansion might not be better than it is in the Prince Rui's mansion!"
"That's true. She's so good-looking, yet she has no ability to protect herself. Who knows how the matriarch will torment her in the future!"
"That's not necessarily true. If I were Sheng Wenjin's wife, I wouldn't bully a foolish woman. After all, using one's looks to please others is just being a plaything for men, not worth my time..."
"Go away! Go away! Dream on! Young Master Sheng is an exceptional man, how could you possibly be worthy of him? I heard that Minister Wu of the Ministry of Personnel has taken a liking to Young Master Sheng. He's just waiting for him to win the top score in this exam so he can arrange a marriage between his son and the Sheng family."
Rumor has it that General Sheng has already agreed, so Miss Wu is definitely going to be the future young mistress of the General's mansion!
"Really? I've heard that Miss Wu is exceptionally beautiful and skilled in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She might be a good match for Young Master Sheng!"
"Hmm! I'd admit it's her, even if her looks aren't outstanding, her academic achievements are quite good..."
"I'm not convinced. The woman by Young Master Sheng's side can only be me. I won't be happy if it's anyone else..."
"Go away! Go away! Young Master Sheng is mine, you're not allowed to take him from me..."
"You two are shameless! Young Master Sheng would never look at women as unreserved as you. He would prefer someone like me who is dignified and reserved!"
"Pah...get lost..."
"..."
Chu had excellent hearing, and she heard the women's chatter. She just smiled, took Si Rouxue's hand with one hand, and carried Sheng Wanwan with the other as they got into the carriage.
She knew her son too well; if it weren't for Si Rouxue's appearance, he would never have had a woman by his side in his life.
So no matter how much these people say, it's all wishful thinking. They have no chance of becoming his daughter-in-law...
Not far from the examination hall, in a carriage, a beautiful young lady in a pale yellow dress sat in the carriage, her beautiful eyes looking shyly in the direction Sheng Wenjin had left.
After a while, the carriage curtain was finally lowered.
The carriage from the Wu residence slowly drove away...
As soon as Sheng Wenjin stepped into the venue, he saw Zhao Rui being helped in by two servants.
He was severely punished by Sheng Wenjin last time, and his eyes and mouth are still swollen, and he walks with some difficulty.
The moment he entered and saw Sheng Wenjin, he instinctively trembled. Then he smiled awkwardly at Sheng Wenjin and had two servants help him to his examination room.
This scene was witnessed by Bai Mo and Wei Zixun, who had just entered, and they exchanged a glance.
Then he walked toward Sheng Wenjin.
"Hey! Why do I feel like Zhao Rui is a little afraid of you? Could the injuries on his body be from you hitting him?"
Wei Zixun looked at Sheng Wenjin with a questioning expression.
"I didn't hit him!"
Sheng Wenjin's expression remained indifferent.
It wasn't him who hit him; it was Zhao Rui's servant. He wasn't lying.
"oh!"
"By the way, what number did you draw?"
Wei Zixun asked curiously.
"Number 138!" Sheng Wenjin answered as he searched for his examination room.
"No way? Really? Hahaha... What incredible luck you and Bai Mo had! He's number 139, right across from you."
And right next to you is the outhouse!
Brothers, although I, Wei Zixun, deeply sympathize with you...
But... that's fate! Good luck to you all!
I'm leaving now...
After saying that, Wei Zixun patted Sheng Wenjin and Bai Mo on the shoulders and strode away to the other side. His carefree and irritating demeanor made Bai Mo grit his teeth in anger.
These are for you!
Sheng Wenjin handed Bai Mo a talisman for the isolation formation and an antidote pill.
He can also draw isolation formations, so he doesn't need them. As for antidote pills, he has a bottle of them, so giving Bai Mo one won't hurt.
"What is this?"
Bai Mo looked at the black pill and the talisman in his hand with a puzzled expression and asked.
"This is a small isolation array. You can secretly stick it under the table to block out odors."
This pill is an antidote. Take one if you feel unwell. Don't ask any other questions. If you trust me, use it; if not, ignore these instructions!
As Sheng Wenjin spoke, he walked towards his examination room...
