Chen Siyuan knew what Wenxuan was excited about, and she smiled, "Third cousin seems very confident?"
In my past life, I didn't pay much attention to this, but I heard some things from Song Ji.
Knowing the general outline of the questions, she deliberately mixed in the questions she knew when she delivered books to Wenxuan.
It's likely that the questions Wenxuan has done before will be much easier to answer, and the chances of success will be greater.
Chen Siyuan didn't think it was cheating.
Everyone is looking for shortcuts to success, and I know that, so why not help my cousin out?
Chen Siyuan knew that her third cousin was not the top scholar, and hoped that he would be mentally prepared.
“Of course,” Wenxuan said, winking at Chen Siyuan.
This time, he was confident.
The people around them didn't dare to speak.
I just finished the exam, and I don't know how it went.
Judging from Wenxuan's expression, things should be going well.
I always feel that no matter what I say, there's always a heavy weight pressing down on me.
The group quickly returned to the Wen family home.
After exchanging pleasantries, Wenxuan was told to go back and rest.
Wen Tonghai brought Chen Siyuan to his courtyard. He spoke directly, asking questions without even entering the room.
"Yuan'er, what just happened?" Wen Tonghai was a businessman, so he needed to have a keen eye.
He felt something was wrong as soon as he left Wenxuan. He couldn't say anything in public, and he was still in high spirits with Wenxuan, so it wasn't convenient to say anything. But it was different when he was with his granddaughter.
Ever since his granddaughter pointed out the affair between Wentao and the Fourth Prince, he knew that his granddaughter was no ordinary person.
Later, the granddaughter had someone bring the medicine. After taking it, her health suddenly improved. At first, she was worried about the medicine, but then her eldest grandson said that it was a miracle doctor's medicine.
He had been searching for this person but hadn't found him. He never expected that his cousin would be able to get so many good medicines from the miracle doctor.
His past experiences told him that this time the person was reliable, and that his granddaughter should know something.
"It might be from the book I found for my third cousin that contained this exam question."
Wen Tonghai stared at Chen Siyuan. Could it be that someone leaked the exam questions, or was it Chen Siyuan...? Thinking of that possibility, he wanted to say it was nonsense, but he dared not say it. If others heard it, his granddaughter would be in trouble.
"Nonsense."
"I'm just guessing, and I might not be right."
"So, do you think your third cousin will...?" Wen Tonghai asked cautiously, taking a breath before asking, "Is he likely to win?"
These words left Chen Siyuan speechless.
When the criminal asked, Chen Siyuan might give a perfunctory answer. When her maternal grandfather asked, Chen Siyuan tried hard to recall the scenes from her previous life.
Thinking about it was a bit of a hassle, especially since over a hundred students had died in that restaurant before. I tried hard to recall if any of the top scholars from that time were among them.
After thinking hard, it seems there is no such person; the possibility of him being the top scholar in his previous life is very high.
Because many things are slightly different from her previous life, Chen Siyuan felt uncertain.
"This year's top scorer could be someone named Tan Weilin."
Wen Tonghai looked at his granddaughter and shuddered violently.
Although her tone was uncertain, her expression seemed to indicate certainty.
How could the granddaughter know about something that hasn't happened yet?
If the exam questions might be leaked, she happens to know that the top scorer is no small matter.
She had just finished the exam, and at this point even the proctor wouldn't know why she was speaking so confidently.
"That's not necessarily true. Judging from Third Cousin's expression, it should be fine."
Chen Siyuan was already quite optimistic, trying her best to comfort her grandfather, but still advising him not to have too high hopes, as he might be disappointed if he was aiming for the top scholar title.
If the expectations aren't too high, the result might make everyone happy.
Wen Tonghai fell silent and did not speak for a long time.
Prediction?
Is it the same as what happened to Xu Cheng back then?
Looking at his granddaughter, he really couldn't understand her.
Fortunately, the child is smarter than before and has found a good man for himself, which is something that makes him happy.
Soon it was time to eat, and Butler Wang prepared the meal.
Chen Siyuan planned to stay and have dinner with her grandfather, but he kicked her out.
Chen Siyuan stood at the entrance of the Wen family's house, staring at the gate in front of her. She couldn't understand what was wrong with her grandfather. Why did he suddenly turn on her like that?
Chunlan and Chunping were speechless.
Someone kindly reminded her from the side, "Young Madam, you misspoke."
"Hmm?" What did she say? Whatever she said was carefully considered before she spoke, so it shouldn't be wrong.
"The young mistress said that the top scholar is not the third young master."
"No, it's not that, it's..." Chen Siyuan suddenly realized where she had gone wrong.
He bowed deeply at the entrance of the Wen family's residence, then left with two maids.
Butler Wang had been secretly watching Chen Siyuan's movements, and after leaving, he immediately reported what had happened at his master's door.
Wen Tonghai had little appetite; he hoped his granddaughter would be careful and not cause trouble.
Still feeling a bit worried, he asked Steward Wang to invite Wenxuan over.
Wenxuan was excited about the scientific expedition. He had been holding it in for the past three days and was finally able to express his feelings. He was excited when he came out, but seeing so many people, he became much more cautious.
Hearing that her grandfather was looking for her, she arrived happily.
He was the first member of the Wen family to participate in the imperial examinations, fulfilling a long-held wish.
He also wanted to see just how capable he really was.
Arriving before her grandfather, upon seeing his appearance, all the pride she had harbored vanished. She respectfully approached him, bowed, and sat down at his gesture.
It was clearly mealtime, and there were two sets of bowls and chopsticks in front of him, but he dared not move.
It might be a habit from childhood.
Grandfather was very strict with them, but he was different with his cousin.
Every time he saw her, he was incredibly jealous. Later, when he heard that Chen Siyuan had become like this because she lost her mother, he even felt sorry for her.
Later, when he was bullied, he generously forgave him.
"How did you feel about this scientific expedition?"
Wenxuan gathered his thoughts and answered politely, "I was too confident in the past. When I actually got to the exam room, I realized that there were still many shortcomings in my performance."
"So you don't have much confidence in this scientific expedition?" Wen Tonghai asked again.
"Thanks to my cousin's help, I've seen a few types of questions, so I'm somewhat confident about this scientific expedition."
"oh?"
Wenxuan was initially afraid to see his grandfather, and suddenly his face tightened. He quickly told him everything he knew, "This imperial examination was very difficult. Fortunately, my cousin gave me a book with some relevant questions, and I answered them to a satisfactory degree."
"satisfy?"
"My cousin personally reviewed my answer and thought it wasn't very good, so she gave me some pointers."
"Go and bring me the things your cousin gave you."
"Yes." Wenxuan didn't know what was going on, but his grandfather's words were like an imperial edict, so he quickly took all the books his cousin had given him.
Actually, there aren't many, only about ten books.
