Brother Shen blinked, "The Spring Examination is held every three years, and all the candidates from the Great Jin Dynasty are here. They have studied hard for ten years just for this day. There will be a lot of people there!"
Yan Bao clasped his hands together: [Second brother, good second brother, my best second brother, you must take me out to play, take me! ]
Second Brother Shen stretched out his hand towards Yan Bao in a dignified manner: "Money is a bit tight lately."
Yan Bao gave him two copper coins.
Brother Shen bargained: "A piece of Zhuangyuan cake costs eight cents!"
Yan Bao patted his chest and said, "At worst, I'll pay for the expenses when we go out. I'm not short of money anyway. I can go shopping and buy things!"
Second Brother Shen wanted to discuss it with Yan Bao, but Madam Shen patted Second Brother Shen and said, "You only want to watch others take the exam. Why don't you take the exam? Your eldest brother is already the top scorer at this age."
Second Brother Shen covered his ears and muttered like Yan Bao: I don’t want to listen, you bastard are just chanting sutras.
"Mom, my son is not a good student at all. Instead of staring at me, you should stare at Yan Bao. The teacher said that Yan Bao has a good memory and is good at reading and writing. She might even be able to take the imperial examination."
Yan Bao's eyes lit up: [Zundu is fake?]
Mrs. Shen was at a loss for words, but she couldn't let Yan Bao get too upset. She slapped Second Brother Shen on the shoulder and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can a girl be the top scholar? Don't lead Yan Bao astray!"
Yan Bao curled his lips: [Even if I could take the exam, I wouldn't be able to pass it. After all, I also took the college entrance examination. Is it that I don't want to take the exams for Peking University or Tsinghua University?]
It is enough to pass the test once.
In this life, Yan Bao just wants to be a happy and wealthy foodie.
As for being the female top scholar, she doesn't force it, and that's fine.
On the second day, someone from the Shen family came to visit. Yan Bao also came back after finishing his work. When he saw the food that Mrs. Shen brought out, he realized that a relative had come to visit.
She was Mrs. Shen’s good sister before she got married. After she got married, she moved to another place with her husband’s family and she hadn’t seen her for many years.
Her son was also going to take the exam this year, so she asked someone to come to the capital to visit old friends and get some things done.
Madam Shen is now a second-rank county lady.
Chief Minister Shen was also a favorite minister, and many people wanted to curry favor with him but couldn't find the right way.
The mother of this scholar had a good relationship with Mrs. Shen here, so she shamelessly came to visit her, hoping that Mrs. Shen would help her.
There was no problem at first, until Yan Bao met this family, and then he felt unwell.
