It is no wonder that everyone is amazed. In many places, as long as children can be admitted to university, no matter which university it is, they will hold a college party and invite relatives and friends to celebrate.

If their children are admitted to 211 or even the more prestigious 985 universities, parents will feel proud when they talk about it with relatives and friends, especially if they are noticed by the leading big brothers of the two 985 universities, Peking University and Tsinghua University. The parents' voices can probably be heard three miles away.

The provincial top student is a talent that even leading universities like Peking University and Tsinghua University are vying for.

Although the modern top scorer in the college entrance examination is far inferior to the ancient top scorer in terms of status and position, he can still be compared with the ancient Jinshi.

Of course, because the ancient imperial examinations are fundamentally different from the modern college entrance examination, and it also has the nature of the modern civil service examination, it is actually somewhat inappropriate to compare the ancient imperial examinations with the modern college entrance examination.

But no matter what, those who can get the provincial top scorer in the modern college entrance examination can basically be labeled as "having a bright future".

Any family that has a provincial top scholar will be honored.

If this top scorer in the college entrance examination also has a better appearance than a big star, the shock caused will absolutely be unparalleled.

After all, our society has always been one that values ​​appearance. In ancient times, officials were selected based on their looks, and appearance has always been associated with becoming an official and gaining a higher rank.

The practice of "judging people by appearance" in selecting officials originally came from the Confucian emphasis on tolerance and dignity, and there is a special "Renli" in etiquette. Later, as the monarch had absolute power, he completely reflected his personal likes and dislikes in the selection of officials.

Sometimes, the development of handsome men and ugly men in official circles is very different.

Song Shenzong promoted Wang Jiong to be an official because of his good looks. Wang Jiong was an opera singer, known as "Wang Jialang", but his character was relatively poor and he was not very well-educated. Even so, when Prime Minister Cai Que recommended him to be a supervisory official, Song Shenzong readily agreed when he heard that he was "Wang Jialang".

Later, when Emperor Zhezong ascended the throne, Cai Que recommended an extremely talented ugly man named Yuan Yingzhong.

Yuan Yingzhong not only has pockmarks on his face, but also has sloping shoulders.

After seeing this, Zhezong repeatedly said that it was very ugly. Yuan was stunned and could not explain anything and had to leave. Look, the emperor has changed, but the standard of judging the face has not changed.

The Song Dynasty was not the most "appearance-based" dynasty. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, appearance was particularly important in selecting officials, and the top scorer in the imperial examination was often determined by appearance. For example, when Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty met Han Yong in Datong, he "respected his appearance and kept him as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War." Shi Kui offended his superiors and was arrested and brought to the capital. Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty saw that he had an extraordinary appearance and promoted him to be an imperial censor.

In the Tang Dynasty, the first condition for selecting officials was that they had to be plump and tall.

The poet Luo Yin was ugly, so he could not be an official, and not many girls even liked him. Zheng Ting's daughter liked Luo Yin's poems very much, and vowed to marry him. But when they met, she was shocked by the sight of him, and Zheng vowed to never recite Luo Yin's poems again.

When the Ministry of Personnel was selecting officials, there was a guiding document similar to a manual: the best appearance for officials was the "国"-shaped face, which was dignified and upright, and had official authority; the second best was the "目"-shaped face, which had elegant and handsome features and was friendly; the worst was the "金"-shaped face, which was small on top and large on the bottom, but could cover up the ugliness by wearing a bird-shaped gauze hat.

In the Qing Dynasty, those who had participated in the imperial examinations three times but still failed to pass the imperial examination could participate in the official selection procedure called "Da Tiao" and be given a chance to become an official. However, there was a clear rule: "Da Tiao does not test literary talent, but only looks."

All these examples show the importance of appearance in ancient times.

In modern times, some people have even shouted the slogan that appearance is justice. Just look at those handsome young men and you will understand that even if someone is sent to jail for attracting fans, there are still countless fans pleading for him.

There were even photos of a beautiful female prisoner being executed by firing squad that circulated online, which attracted a lot of sympathy from people who felt that her death was such a pity.

Like the Fairy Sister, she is very popular because of her good looks, fairy-like aura, and two or three works as a foundation. She has maintained a high popularity for more than 20 years, and her popularity is so strong that everyone is stunned.

It can be said that if other female celebrities with slightly inferior looks had the same experience as the Fairy Sister, they would probably have been forgotten long ago.

Therefore, Jiang Wenyan, who possessed both beauty and talent, instantly became the focus of the entire carriage. All the students' parents and other passengers expressed their sincere admiration for her.

A female classmate asked: "Jiang Wenyan, why didn't you accept the video interview? If your video interview was broadcast on TV, you would probably be famous all over the country now!"

Jiang Wenyan smiled and said: "I don't want to be famous, and I hope everyone won't take pictures of me, thank you!"

Those who took out their mobile phones to secretly take videos felt a little embarrassed when they heard this and quietly hid their phones.

Chen Yaohua, who originally applied to Didu University of Technology, had some thoughts that all men could understand about this extremely beautiful female classmate. After all, his university was considered a very prestigious one.

Unexpectedly, this female classmate is not only extremely beautiful, but she is also the top scorer in liberal arts in Guangxi Province this year, with a score of over 700, which is quite impressive among all the top scorers in liberal arts.

No matter how confident Chen Yaohua was, he would not dare to have any inappropriate thoughts about such a talented and beautiful female classmate, because it was doomed to be fruitless.

Without talking about her family background, just based on her conditions, it might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that she can pick any man in the world she wants, but as long as she likes someone, I'm afraid there are few men who can refuse such a talented and beautiful woman.

A parent asked: "Student Jiang Wenyan, didn't your parents send you to school to register?"

Jiang Wenyan smiled politely and said, "My parents and my grandparents all wanted to send me to school to register, but I didn't want to cause a big fuss, so I refused!"

"That's amazing! It seems that Jiang Wenyan must be traveling far away from home often, so your parents are relieved to let you go to school alone to register."

"Well, my parents take me out for a trip every winter and summer vacation. This is not my first time to the capital, so my parents are more relieved. Besides, they have arranged for someone to pick me up in the capital!"

Everyone was moved again when they heard this. Every winter and summer vacation, her parents would take her out to travel, and they could arrange someone to pick her up in the capital. This was enough to prove that Jiang Wenyan's family background was very good.

She is talented, beautiful and has a good family background. God really favors her!

my country's high-speed rail was recognized as the best in the world more than 20 years ago. Now, after more than 20 years of development, the speed in most parts of the country exceeds 350 kilometers per hour, and the speed in some key areas is close to 500 kilometers per hour, almost catching up with the speed of small passenger planes.

Therefore, it only takes a few hours to get from Guangxi Province to the capital by high-speed rail, which is very convenient and fast.

At 4:38 pm, Jiang Wenyan arrived safely in the imperial capital.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Wenyan did not get on the Peking University school bus, but got on a Mercedes-Benz.

The driver was a professional chauffeur, and sitting in the back with Jiang Wenyan was a pretty girl who was one year older than her.

This beautiful girl is called Ho Kwan-yee. She is the fiancée of her elder brother Jiang Wenle and also the future sister-in-law of Jiang Wenyan. This marriage was arranged by her father, the world-renowned matchmaker, and the girl's parents fully support it.

It can be said that the two families are already in-laws!

After the car started, Jiang Wenyan said jokingly: "Sister-in-law, today I'm leaving this 100-pound body to you, you have to take good care of me!"

He Junyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have already arranged it. Let's go to XX restaurant for dinner first. After dinner, I will take you to XX place for a walk to digest the food. At nine o'clock in the evening, I will call a few girls to go out and sing together. We will go home on time at eleven o'clock to rest, and then I will take you to report to school tomorrow. Is this arrangement okay?"

Jiang Wenyan said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, this arrangement is fine, then follow this process!"

He Junyi smiled and said, "As long as you are satisfied, I have already received you. Please call your uncle and aunt to let them know you are safe!"

Jiang Wenyan responded, then took out her cell phone and called her father.

As soon as the phone was connected, the magnetic voice of father Jiang Feng came, asking: "Daughter, have you arrived in the capital?"

Jiang Wenyan smiled and said, "Yes, Dad, I just got in my sister-in-law's car."

He Junyi, who was sitting next to her, glared at her future sister-in-law. Although her marriage with Jiang Wenle was basically settled, they hadn't gotten married yet. It was okay to call her sister-in-law in private, but she still felt embarrassed to call her sister-in-law in front of the elders.

"Well, it's good to be here..."

Jiang Feng said a few words on the phone, then handed the phone to her mother, letting them chat for a few words before hanging up.

…

In the provincial capital of Guangxi Province, in Xipai Yujiang, an old luxury residential area in Guangxi Province, Jiang Feng and his wife were having dinner with their bodyguards and nannies.

The nannies are the same two nannies from more than 20 years ago. Although they have married and had children, they have never left the Jiang family. They have been diligently helping the boss cook and clean here for more than 20 years. The children who grew up eating the food they cooked also regard them as their relatives.

As for the bodyguards, they were replaced. It was not because the boss Jiang Feng disliked Guo Bingbing and Baili Wutong, the two bodyguards who had followed him for many years, nor was it because the two bodyguards were unwilling to serve the boss.

The main reason was that after they turned 45, Guo Bingbing and Baili Wutong felt that their physical condition was far from their peak. In order to avoid accidents that they could not handle, although they were very reluctant, they still resigned.

Now Jiang Feng has hired not just two bodyguards, but eight bodyguards, all of whom are retired elite women from a certain special police team, to protect himself and his family.

After all, the current Jiang family is no longer the Jiang family of 20 years ago. Even if Jiang Feng has not deliberately amassed wealth in the past 20 years, his wealth has increased at a very fast rate.

Today, his net worth has exceeded 10 billion!

Of course, what makes Jiang Feng and his wife most proud is not their billions of assets, but the fact that they have raised a pair of extremely outstanding children.

His son Jiang Wenle is even more handsome than his father Jiang Feng. He was the top scorer in science in Guangxi Province in 2043 and is currently studying at Oxford University in the UK.

Her daughter Jiang Wenyan is also more beautiful than her mother Huang Lingwei. She is the top scorer in liberal arts in Guangxi Province this year and a freshman in Peking University. She is definitely a woman of both talent and beauty.

Two years ago, when Jiang Wenle became the top scorer in science in Guangxi Province, not only were Jiang's father and mother so happy that they said their grandson had brought honor to the family, but even Jiang's grandmother, who was in her eighties, was as happy as a child and specially burned three incense sticks, saying that she wanted to tell Grandpa Jiang the good news.

Then, Jiang Feng, who had never held a wedding banquet since his marriage, held a rare and high-profile college banquet for his son. Because it was held in his rural hometown, he only invited close relatives and friends.

As for the village, there is no need to say much, everyone in the village is invited.

Anyway, this banquet can be said to be the most grand university banquet in the history of Qinghe Town. Even county leaders came to attend after hearing the news, and it had a huge influence.

After all, although there were people in Qinghe Town who were admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University in history, no one in Qinghe Town, let alone the entire Bailiang County, could get the provincial top scorer in the college entrance examination.

Jiang Wenle can be said to be the first provincial top scorer in Bailiang County's college entrance examination history. There is no doubt that his influence is great.

The only drawback is that Jiang Wenle did not attend high school in Bailiang County or Yulin City, but in a high school in the provincial capital. Strictly speaking, this result should be considered as that of the provincial capital.

However, the people of Qinghe Town and Longshan Village don't care about this. It is enough for them to know that the provincial college entrance examination champion is from their town and village.

Originally, the sensation caused by Jiang Wenle, the provincial top scorer, was big enough. Unexpectedly, two years later, his sister Jiang Wenyan also successfully won the provincial top scorer in liberal arts.

It is incredible that both the brother and sister are the top scorers in the province. This is probably the first case in the whole country. The people in Longshan Village are very proud of it.

Jiang Feng and Huang Lingwei, as parents, are the envy of countless parents, especially those relatives and friends with whom they have a good relationship. They call them one after another to ask them how to teach their children.

After dinner, Jiang Feng and Huang Lingwei sat on the balcony, watching the river view as the sun set.

Huang Lingwei asked, "Husband, you figured out our son's marriage fate a long time ago, but you've been putting it off for our daughter. Now that she's a college student, aren't you going to figure out her marriage fate?"

Jiang Feng blinked his eyes and said, "It's a good thing to know about my son's marriage as early as possible. I'd better wait until my daughter graduates from college to find out about her marriage. I'm afraid I will feel uncomfortable if I know it too early."

Huang Lingwei laughed and said, "You, over the past twenty years, I don't know how many marriages you have arranged, even some child marriages, and now it's your own daughter's turn, but you can't bear to let her go!"

Jiang Feng chuckled, and Huang Lingwei understood and started chatting with him about other topics.

Although the couple has been married for more than 20 years, they still love each other as much as at the beginning. They have endless things to talk about when they are together every day. Their relationship is so good that their children are amazed.

This is the legendary couple!
