Shen Liao thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. It's not convenient for us to interfere too much in their young people's affairs."
He actually had a rough idea of what was going on.
But he can say Shen Chen this time, what about next time?
After all, she has to live her own life, and only when Lan Yuerong can stand on her own feet will they be in a position to help her.
In August, Shen Chen, Shen Cong and Shen Zhang took the autumn examination together.
Shen Chen didn't want to take the exam with his brother Shen Cong at all.
He was afraid that even though he had taken the test twice before, he still couldn't score as well as Shen Cong and the others.
Moreover, he was seven years older than them. If one of them got first or second place in the imperial examination and the other failed, wouldn't he be laughed at by the whole world?
He wanted to pretend to be sick and get away with it, but when he was about to pour cold water on himself, Shen Liao arrived.
Yes, Tu Qingyu sent him over.
Shen Chen held the spoon and looked into Shen Liao's eyes.
After realizing what was happening, he immediately put down the spoon as if nothing had happened and asked, "Father, why are you here?"
"Ah, I've just been feeling very hot-tempered lately, and I can't calm down the anger in my heart," he explained.
How could Shen Liao not understand what he was thinking, but he would not allow the children of the Shen family to become cowardly deserters.
Shen Chen could even tell him directly that he didn't want to take the exam this time.
But making yourself sick is too childish.
He glanced at Shen Chen and the water tank in front of him, "If you feel hot, go find a doctor to prescribe medicine. You have an exam tomorrow, so it's inevitable that you will hurt your body."
Chen Chen put down the spoon awkwardly and bowed, "Yes, son, I understand."
"Well, do your best on the exam tomorrow. Your current level is good enough, so passing the exam shouldn't be a problem. Relax and don't be too nervous."
"yes."
The next day, the Shen family sent the three brothers to the Imperial Examination Hall. When the people who came to send the examinees saw the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion and the people who were about to leave, they all gathered around to watch.
Shen Chen was sensitive and specifically listened to the discussions coming from the crowd.
"Is that the Marquis's carriage? Is Master Shen going to be in trouble again?"
"What? This year, the three masters of the Shen family will die together."
"Huh? The other two look a lot smaller."
"Don't you know? The other two have already passed the exam this year, one ranked first and the other second."
"Wow, this is a child prodigy."
"Yes, I heard that these two could write poems at the age of three and compose fu at the age of five. I don't know if it's true or not."
"Whether it's true or not, it's definitely smarter than us."
"That's right. I wonder how Mr. Shen would cope if they passed the exam and he didn't."
…
Shen Chen felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. Yes, if he had not passed the exam, but the other two younger ones had, how would he cope with it?
"Come in quickly." Tu Qingyu looked at the two of them. He didn't feel the nervousness that other people had when sending their children to take the exam. He just wanted to finish his mission quickly and go back to take a nap.
Shen Cong bowed, "Then we'll go in, mother, you should go back to sleep."
Tu Qingyu patted his shoulder and said, "My son still understands me."
"Brothers, do your best in the exams. I'm waiting for your victorious return!"
"Okay, you should go back to sleep too." Chen Zhang smiled. His sister was just as sleepy as his mother.
Shen Cong and Shen Zhang have both gone in. What else can Shen Chen do? They are already at the door and will definitely not allow him to escape.
Sitting down in the room, the test papers were handed out. Shen Chen looked at the test questions in front of him. He knew all the words and had done the test questions before.
But he held the pen and just didn't know how to start writing.
My head seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and those words seemed to be running out of the paper.
Words were thrown at him one by one. He leaned back and hit his head on the cell.
He put down the pen and rubbed his eyes, but the words were still before his eyes.
What's going on?
Didn't he take a cold shower?
Why is this happening when I don't have a fever?
The more he tried to see the questions and the test paper clearly, the less clear they became.
The cold sweat on his forehead kept flowing, his face became paler and paler, and finally he fainted in the cell.
On the other side, Shen Cong and Shen Zhang wrote as if they were possessed by gods.
Those questions are imprinted in my mind and the answers come out automatically.
It is no exaggeration to say that they can do this with their eyes closed.
The provincial examination lasted a total of nine days, with each session lasting three days.
The first three days are for essay composition, with topics taken from the Four Books and Five Classics. What candidates have to do is to break the topic, continue the topic, start the lecture, get started, start the essay, the middle section, the last section, and the conclusion, which is what people often call the eight-part essay.
The middle three days will test policy essays, which require students to discuss certain current political issues and propose corresponding countermeasures.
The third section is about classics, history and current affairs. Usually there are five chapters, but this year it was changed to three, and a part of calculation chapters was added.
Obviously, Shen Chen had no chance to see the questions that followed.
He was carried out on the first day.
In the next few days, he kept claiming to be sick. When Chen Cong and the others finished their exams, he also went from recuperating to a negative state.
I felt like I had thrown everything into ruin and started drinking all day to drown my sorrows.
Oh, it’s not all bad, after all, he still plays with women.
However, Lan Yuerong would appear in the main courtyard from time to time, saying that she came to pay her respects to Tu Qingyu.
Tu Qingyu had already told her when she got married that she didn't need to visit him every morning and evening.
But Lan Yuerong still comes from time to time.
Quite a flattering attitude.
In Tu Qingyu's memory of her previous life, Lan Yuerong was one of the few people who had ever brought her food.
Unfortunately, Shen Chen found out about it later, and he was beaten and locked up.
Later, she was placed under house arrest, and the household affairs in the backyard were handed over to Shen Chen's favorite concubine.
