The ancient farming life of liberal arts scum

Shen Ge wrote that article in the palace examination, already feeling like breaking the pot in his heart, and in the next few days, he lived very comfortably and was not nervous at all.

Seeing his leisurely attitude, everyone in the Xun Mansion thought that he was sure, and they had to praise him for his good manner.

The barbarian came to ask for homework, by the way.

Shen Ge shook his head, "It's because I don't have expectations, so I feel extra relaxed."

Manzi frowned when he heard this, "Your writing is so good, but you still can't get a Jinshi?"

To put aside the past and write the essays for the exam step by step, Shen Ge is still somewhat sure that he will be among the top three in the exam.As for now, after he angrily scolded a group of ministers for their lack of knowledge in the palace examination paper, it would be a miracle that the top three could have his share.

It is not easy for Chen Ge to speak directly to Manzi. He patted Manzi on the shoulder, and said with a deep expression: "There are mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people. You only see that my articles are good, but you don't know how other people are. If others write I am better than me, why is it so strange that I failed to get a Jinshi?"

The emperor stood behind him for so long, and his brother Xun said that the examiners dared not let him stand too far behind, so that even if he failed to get a Jinshi, he would still have a Jinshi background.So, what else is he not satisfied with?

The news spread that the emperor stood behind Shen Ge for a long time during the palace examination, and many people thought that Shen Ge was probably going to get the first class.

A few days after the palace examination, most of the teahouses were discussing Shen Ge, the women were discussing his appearance and talent, and the men were concerned about the ranking of the spring and the previous gambling.

Someone sighed: "If I had known that Mr. Yanhun could have this level, I would have bought him and won. It would be a waste of my more than 40 taels of silver."

"Hey, just like everyone else, my little brother, I also voted for 35 taels. I wanted to earn a little money to spend, but I didn't want Mr. Yanhun to be so strong, not to mention earning money. I'm afraid I have to pay for it."

The scholar next to him shook his head, lowered his voice and said angrily, "How dare you make people dizzy? Aren't you afraid of being scratched by girls and your face will be bloody?"

"If I say that we are not as talented as Mr. Shen, and it is too disrespectful to be called Yanhun, this name really needs to be changed in the future."

"It's time to change your tune. Among other things, it's really admirable for Mr. Shen to be able to achieve this level at the age of 19. Brother Liu, Brother Liang, I hope you don't call me this nickname in the future."

The two people who were called out smiled embarrassingly, and then consciously changed their words.

There are women who get together, when they mention Shen Ge, they often say: "Mr. Shen is so handsome, I think this time Chunwei's Tanhua Lang must be him."

"If he doesn't become a Tanhua Lang, I think other tributes who become Tan Hualang will be embarrassed."

"Your Majesty stood behind Shen Lang for a long time, obviously admiring Shen Lang very much, if Tan Hualang doesn't give it to him, who can he go to?"

The girls often laughed again as they talked, and sometimes blushed inexplicably when they looked at each other, showing some shyness for no reason.

In the entire capital, there is no such good son-in-law as Shen Lang, not to mention his handsome appearance, even Jin Shang appreciates his literary talent very much.In addition, he is innocent, gentle and polite, without any bad habits.Such a good match, any girl who can marry him is blessed.

Many women secretly fell in love with Shen Ge, and many women felt that even if such a perfect Shen Lang could marry him, it would be difficult for ordinary people to be worthy of him.If he does marry a wife, it will be very sad.

No matter what everyone thinks, the day to release the list is still coming as scheduled.

No matter how good Shen Ge's mentality was, he was still a little nervous at this moment.He woke up early in the morning and opened his eyes to look at the curtains on the bed.

Xun Feiguang got up and went up, seeing him like this, he stretched out his hands to support the bed and leaned over to look at his face, "There is a very light blue and black under the eyes, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Shen Ge yawned a little, "Didn't sleep well."

Now that he has woken up, Shen Ge no longer stays in bed, he washes up, and comes out wearing a moon-white robe, even if he hasn't slept well, he still shows a different kind of energy.

As soon as Shen Ge came out, Lu Zhi praised with bright eyes: "This dress suits you very well."

There is an embroidered lady in the Xunfu, Shen Ge's clothes were carefully sewn by the embroidered lady who spent half a month's work.The clothes are very close to the body, and the belt is tied up, which makes Shen Ge's slender waist and long legs even more perfect.

If he goes out like this, he will definitely make the other Jinshi pale.

Shen Ge finished breakfast with Xun Feiguang, sent Xun Feiguang out to court, and then went back to Xun Feiguang's residence to stay.

Manzi and Shaoxin had seen the experience from reading the list, so they went to wait early in the morning, so as not to be squeezed in when it was too late.

There were crowds of people in front of the imperial list, many people were waiting before dawn, all craned their necks and looked eagerly towards the direction of the palace, hoping that the officials who announced the list would come over sooner.

Li Qianrong's nephew, Li Thouchou, has no relationship with Gongshi, and the whole Xun Mansion is waiting for the news of Shen Ge.

As the chief steward of the Xun Mansion, Xun Cheng has more power than the old lady.Under Xun Cheng's strict order, the entire Xun Mansion has been on guard since the early morning, sweeping the roads, preparing colored silk, and waiting for the results to be celebrated.

"Report-"

This time, the servant of the Xun Mansion was the one who saw the news first. He ran all the way back to report the letter. He was still out of breath. When he saw Shen Ge and Xun Cheng, he said happily, "No. [-] scholar! Congratulations, Mr. Shen, you have won the No. !"

Then Shao Xin and Man Zi also came back, and Shao Xin's loud voice came from afar, "Congratulations! Chen Geer, you are the champion!"

The news spread quickly inside and outside the Xun Mansion as if it had grown wings.

Seeing that Shen Ge seemed unable to react, Shao Xin bumped into him, "Come on, Mr. Zhuangyuan, tell me how you feel now?"

Shen Ge came back to his senses, and smiled, "I thought I would be Tanhua, but I never thought that I would get the first prize! Now, no matter what, my uncle's money will not be lost."

If you pay five for one, his uncle will get [-] silver in the account at once, which is faster than digging out gold mines.This money is enough for him to buy a larger yard in Kyoto, so he doesn't have to shrink there anymore.

Shao Xin raised his eyebrows, lowered his voice and said with a smirk: "What is the little money from the uncle? Let me tell you, the master invested 2 taels of silver in it!"

"Twenty thousand?" Shen Ge stared at his face with wide eyes, not even caring about the news that he was admitted to the first prize, pulled him and asked: "Brother Xun really invested 2 taels in to force me to be a Jinshi and rank? !"

"Can I still lie to you?"

Shen Ge took a few deep breaths, patted his chest in fear, let out a long sigh, and muttered: "You should tell me earlier, I will be more cautious in the palace exam."

He basically had no psychological burden during the palace test, and he has been letting himself go.If he's unlucky, if he's not careful, his Brother Xun's money might not even make a splash.

This is 2 taels of silver!If it was only five thousand from his uncle, he might still be able to afford it. If it was twenty thousand taels, he wouldn't have to think about it within ten years.

Shen Ge complained inwardly, and once again deeply realized that Brother Xun of his family is a nobleman, and he is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver!

Shao Xin watched the expression on Shen Ge's face change, suddenly, Shen Ge grabbed his wrist and asked seriously: "Brother Shao, Brother Xun invested 2 taels of silver, can the gambling house afford to lose money? "

With 10 taels, it will not be a problem to feed an army of 500 people for 20 years. Which company has such a wealth and power that it spits it out?

There was a meaningful smile on Shao Xin's face, "Don't worry about it, who else in the world would dare to rely on the master?" Even the emperor would not dare!

Shen Ge let go of his heart, but there was still a sense of unreality in his heart.

This is the largest sum of money he has ever heard of, not to mention seeing, 10 taels of silver, even if he heard it, he only heard it once.

Because of this great good news, Shen Ge even forgot about the fact that he just got into the first prize.

The people who came to announce the good news came one after another, Li Qianrong said bitterly to her husband secretly: "Looking at this, it seems that Shen Ge is the master of the Xun Mansion."

Li Qianrong's natal nephew is not even a tribute, Shen Ge has been admitted to the first prize, and people like water come to congratulate him, it's hard for Li Qianrong not to be envious.

Xun Houmiao was also unhappy. His father was granted the title of Duke, and his nephew Xijue became the new Duke. He was caught in the middle, and he spent his whole life looking at people and doing things.

No matter what Xun Houmiao and his wife thought, they were quite decent on the face, and the first time they heard the news, they sent the big maid beside them with gifts to congratulate Shen Ge.

The old lady also sent someone to congratulate Shen Ge, and asked Chen Ge to go to her place for lunch.

When Xun Feiguang came back at noon and heard the news, his expression was not very obvious, but on the spot he asked Xun Cheng to give the servants in the mansion an extra month's reward as a reward, and ordered the mansion to add more food at noon.

Now, the congratulations to Shen Ge from the servants of the entire Xun Mansion really couldn't be truer.

Shen Ge's title of No. [-] Scholar was really beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone thought that he was at most Tanhua, and his appearance and posture were perfect for the name of Tanhua. Unexpectedly, he was the No. [-] Scholar in high school.

For a while, there were all kinds of things to say in the Jingdu Square, and the most proud ones were the girls who supported Shen Ge.

Most of the women have already received a [-]-for-[-] bet, and when they met for a banquet, the women said: "The street is full of insightful people, it's better than us women with good eyesight."

"That's right, some people are used to judging people by their appearance, and even doubted Mr. Shen's talent because of his good looks, and now they have suffered a lot."

"It's just a bunch of superficial people. Let me tell you, we shouldn't have argued with them about whether Mr. Shen is talented or not. Let's drop the price!"

Dian Dian purse, most of these bets were won from men who questioned Mr. Shen, thinking about this, the girls felt more at ease.

Most of the girls are boudoir lovers and don't care about these extraneous things, but it's really refreshing to win money from those annoying men.

Women are still discussing Shen Ge in the streets and alleys, teahouses, taverns and other places. People around hear Shen Ge's name appearing in the mouths of women frequently, and they feel sore, but this time, no arrogant person dares to jump out Said, you talk about a man in the street, it's immoral!

Nine out of ten men lost the bet this time. Many men dared not say anything after losing the bet.

The dealer who also lost miserably was the banker who was sitting in the dealership. They didn't expect that Shen Ge would really be a Jinshi, and they didn't expect that the people from the Xunfu would spend 2 taels of silver to gamble. Even if they changed the odds, they still lost a lot After a sum of money, he lost nearly ten thousand taels in one fell swoop.

But just as Shao Xin said, people in casinos dare not be ignorant of Duke Xun if they don’t know who’s money is. On the afternoon when the imperial list came out, the owner behind the casino personally brought 10 taels of silver bills and sent them to Xun’s mansion respectfully. Come.
