Chapter 595: New No. 1 Scholar Shen Ping
After hearing what the two said, everyone thought this plan was good.
The next morning, several people started to get busy. Ji Rong naturally went to look for the cold-resistant plants that he had come into contact with before.
Shang Zhi and Qiong Hua quietly began to cast spells next to the land to transform it.
Of course, Shang Zhi released more spiritual power.
His spiritual power is easy to overflow, otherwise it would be wasted.
Lu Xingwan was naturally not idle either. After entering the ancient secret realm, although she did not make any bigger breakthroughs, she felt that her spiritual power had greatly increased.
At this time, she was also standing next to the cultivated land, using her spiritual power to try to save the crops that had died earlier.
Before they left the small fishing village, Qiong Hua had a sudden idea and left some medicinal herb seeds for the village chief.
They were also taught how to plant crops.
She didn't know much about crops, but as long as she planted the medicinal seeds, she thought the profits would be considerable.
And it is certainly better than ordinary crops.
The village chief never thought that by unintentionally hosting these people, he would bring hope to the entire village.
The villagers were very grateful for the help from Lu Xingwan and her team.
Some even knelt down and kowtowed.
You know, now that there is hope for the crops, they no longer have to break ice and catch fish in these cold days.
It's really hard work.
Lu Xingwan and others also realized at this time that perhaps being able to help the common people live a better life is also what cultivators should pursue.
Perhaps, this is the path to immortality that Master is pursuing!
After taking care of everything, the few people finally left the small fishing village at the enthusiastic request of the villagers.
Naturally, they were heading towards Yuefeng Country.
As they walked, Lu Xingwan suddenly thought of a question. He turned around and looked at Rong Wenmiao beside him with a puzzled look: "Sister Rong, it's summer now, and the spring exam has already ended. Who is the number one scholar this year?"
Lu Xingwan was very curious whether this year's top scorer would be Shen Ping.
I don’t know if it was Lu Xingwan’s illusion, but when she mentioned the word “number one scholar”, she seemed to see a hint of discomfort on Rong Wenmiao’s face.
"He is a poor student named Shen Ping." Rong Wenmiao said this in a calm tone, but her heart was filled with turmoil. "The princess certainly doesn't recognize him."
Because she admires Shen Ping's knowledge, Rong Wenmiao does have some unusual feelings for Shen Ping.
Just as she had said to Han Xiyue and He Yuyao before, compared to the Second Prince, perhaps she liked Shen Ping more in her heart.
Perhaps to her, the talented young man who once studied in Yongchang Academy is the white moonlight in her heart.
Therefore, when Shen Ping became the top scorer in the imperial examination, Rong Wenmiao was no less happy than Shen Ping.
But just when she was excitedly sharing the good news with He Yuyao, she received news that her father had been reported and detained in the palace by His Majesty.
What was even more surprising to Rong Wenmiao was that the person who slandered his father was Shen Ping, who had just passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer in the high school.
Rong Wenmiao really couldn't believe it.
She thought that she had met Shen Ping several times at Yongchang Academy and that they had discussed academic matters together.
She didn't know why Shen Ping suddenly behaved like this.
So Rong Wenmiao plucked up the courage to go to the Shen Mansion to find out the truth.
Because Shen Ping won the first place in the imperial examination, His Majesty appointed him as Langzhong of Yushi. Langzhong of Yushi was his father's subordinate. Logically, he should understand his father's character, so why did he do such a thing?
Besides, Shen Ping was a man of integrity. Rong Wenmiao would not believe that he had any plans.
The Shen Mansion was not very big, but standing outside the gate of the Shen Mansion, Rong Wenmiao felt mixed emotions and did not dare to muster up the courage to go forward and knock on the door.
What she didn't expect was that even if she finally mustered up the courage to step forward, she was still turned away by the servants of the Shen Mansion.
They looked at the woman in front of them coldly, and their tone was also disdainful of Rong Wenmiao: "Miss, my master is handling official business and is not convenient to see guests."
Rong Wenmiao was the housekeeper.
Of course I know that these words are just Shen Ping's excuses.
Her heart tensed, but she still didn't give up: "It doesn't matter, since your master is busy, I will just wait here."
The servant at the door couldn't help but frown when he saw the girl's appearance.
But he didn't dare say anything. He just closed the door and looked at her from the gatehouse from time to time to see if she had left.
After all, everyone in this capital city is either rich or noble, and they cannot afford to offend anyone.
But it did not affect their ridicule of Rong Wenmiao.
During this period of time, ever since my son became the top scholar and a new favorite in front of His Majesty, many ladies have come to ask to see my son.
What for?
Even if these ladies don't say it, they know it.
It's just that he thinks his son comes from a poor family and has a simple family background, so he's easy to control!
Or maybe he could help the young master when he just entered the officialdom, so that he could find a husband for his daughter in the future.
Unexpectedly, my son is such an upright person that he doesn't agree with it at all.
But this lady is the first one to come to the house in person.
Seeing the young lady's stubborn look, the servant at the door wanted to comfort her, but in the end he just shook his head.
"Forget it, since she is willing to wait, let her wait."
"If the young master doesn't come out, she will leave."
"The one outside seems to be the young lady of the Rong family." Although the servants in the Shen residence were all awarded by His Majesty or purchased from outside, there were always some who used to be active in the capital and knew many young ladies from aristocratic families.
Hearing this man say this, the two people beside him also came up and asked: "Is it the family of Doctor Yu Shi?"
"Could it be that he is here to take revenge on our Master?"
Servants' mouths are the worst. Now everyone in the Shen family knows that their young master has reported his top boss, Lord Rong, the Minister of History, and His Majesty has already detained Lord Rong.
Then the reason why Miss Rong came to visit me was...
Rong Wenmiao stood in front of the gate of the Shen Mansion for a long time. It was not until the sun set that the gate slowly opened.
Fortunately, Shen Ping came out.
When Shen Ping saw Rong Wenmiao appear in front of his house, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes, but he quickly returned to his indifferent expression.
Shen Ping spoke without a trace of emotion: "Why is Miss Rong here?"
It was as if the person in front of him was not his former college classmate, but just a stranger he met for the first time.
Rong Wenmiao even thought that Shen Ping had a crush on her before.
But Shen Ping's current appearance broke Rong Wenmiao's heart into pieces and crushed it on the ground, making her lose all hope.
She sneered and said nothing.
