Tong Cheng'er nodded with a happy expression: "It's Second Brother, Second Brother has become the top scholar."
Compared to Tong Cheng'er, who wears her heart on her sleeve, Shu Yu is more reserved, but even so, it's clear she's very happy.
Her fiancé was the newly appointed top scholar in the imperial examination, and his parade through the streets on horseback was a source of immense glory for her.
She was naturally overjoyed.
She just acted very reservedly.
"Sister Shuyu, my second brother has become the top scholar! The top scholar!"
Shu Yu smiled and said, "I saw it. Xuewen is indeed very capable."

Moreover, most people would throw their opinions at Tong Xuewen, since his looks are outstanding and his temperament is exceptional. To put it more poetically, he is a gentleman, gentle and refined.

Tong Cheng'er thought for a moment and teased, "Such an outstanding second brother will soon be Sister Shuyu's man. I wonder if Sister will be happy."
Shu Yu blushed and said, "What are you saying!" Her coquettish manner was very charming.
