Chapter 7

Although Wen Shu was so angry that she wanted to go back and settle the score with Zhong Yan, she still took Zhong Yan home and found an experienced doctor in Yong'an City to heal her foot injury.

Because he was afraid that his family would be worried, Zhong Lan did not let anyone tell him that he was in danger and injured in the mountains.

She lay in bed for three days in a row. During this period, Mrs. Zheng came to visit Zhong Lan twice and scolded Wen Shu, Wen Yi, Chang Huan and Yun Le severely in front of her.Zhong Lan couldn't even insert her mouth, which made her even more embarrassed.

Zhong Lan took the chicken soup prepared by Wen Shu and smiled sheepishly at Wen Shu.

Wen Shu held her chin with one hand and curled her lips.

Zhong Lan was so frightened that he drank it all in one gulp: "It tastes great! It tastes so good. It is indeed the chicken soup made by Wen Dabei!"

"Shut up, I get upset just looking at you." Wen Shu asked Yun Le to take down the bowl, "Does your foot still hurt?"

"You took good care of it, it doesn't hurt too much anymore." Zhong Yan shook his head hastily.

Wen Shu sighed: "Take good care of it. Just tell me what you want to eat."

Seeing that Wen Shu was not angry, Zhong Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Guibang will be released soon." Wen Shu murmured as she looked out the window at the birds chirping on the trees.

Indeed, it was soon the day when the results would be released, and Zhong Lan could clearly feel the increasingly tense atmosphere in the entire Wen family.

After all, it was a fateful test. Even though Wen Yi acted confident, she could tell he was nervous when he came to talk to her yesterday. It turns out that such a bright young man would secretly worry about himself.

"Wen Yi will definitely win." Zhong Lan comforted, "He has been studying well since he was a child, so he must be fine."

"I hope so. That boy..." At this time, Wen Shu no longer dared to ridicule him casually, for fear that her words would become a prophecy and ruin his future.

"I will accompany you to see the results when they are released." Zhong Lan comforted, "My luck has always been good."

"Can you put your feet on the ground?" Wen Shu understood that Zhong Lan wanted to comfort herself and said with a smile.

"No problem! I'll take two steps for you now!" Zhong Lan lifted up the quilt and was about to get off the ground.

Wen Shu was so frightened that she quickly stood up and helped her: "Auntie, please be more careful!"

On the sixth day of September, when the results were released, Zhong Lan's feet were already healed. He followed Wen Shu, Wen Yi and Shen Feng to say goodbye to the clerk and Zheng, and got on the carriage to go to the gate of Gongyuan to look at the results.

When the four of them arrived, there was already a bustling crowd in front of the Gongyuan gate. There were young men in their prime like Wenyi Shenjie, as well as old people with white hair and old age. There were also some fat-bellied officials and foreigners mingling among them, hoping to choose a husband for their daughter. .

Originally, the clerk also planned to come here to have a look at Prime Minister Wen Shu, but Wen Shu never believed in her own father's vision. If the prime minister found someone like You Hanting, with her own temper, it would be a trivial matter to make the house restless.

So after her endless begging, the clerk gave up the idea.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Wen Yi jumped out.

"Hey!" Wen Shu hurriedly asked the servant by the side of the car to follow, and she also hurried to catch up.

Before setting off, Mrs. Zheng had repeatedly warned Wen Shu to be optimistic about Wen Yi, and not to make any public announcements no matter what the outcome, for fear of being listened to by interested people.

Zhong Lan got out of the car with Wen Shu and happened to see Shen Feng who had just gotten off another carriage.

"Sister Liao, make peace." Shen Feng nodded slightly and saluted.

She smiled back: "Shen Xiaoxiu is nervous?"

Shen Feng smiled back calmly: "The nervous time has passed. Now it only depends on my ability and luck."

"You can escape death even among wolves, so your luck is good." Zhong Lan put his hands behind his back and motioned for Shen Feng to walk side by side with him, "Let's go, I'll go with you. If you cry, I'll be your sister I can also lend you a shoulder."

Shen Feng heard the meaning of Zhong Lan's words and couldn't help laughing: "Then I'll help you, sister."

The boy opened the way and several people squeezed into the front row.

Wen Shu dragged Wen Yi to start from the bottom of the list.

Wen Yi was very excited. He pointed to the list of dragons and tigers on the wall and began to talk to Wen Shu: "Brother Sun Shan! Big sister, he is my classmate. Why is he at the bottom again? This time is really dangerous!" Huh? Ge Chen! He is also my classmate, and he got hit too!"

"Cheng Su! Huan Qiu! Xu... hiss—" There was pain in his arm, Wen Yi glared at Wen Shu, "Big Sister, why are you pinching me?"

"You're the one who talks a lot, take a good look at the list!" Wen Shu stared back, then quickly fixed her eyes on the list.

"Brother Fie!" Wen Yi was taller than Wen Shu. He caught a glimpse of Shen Feng, No. 18, and quickly called to Shen Feng and Zhong Lai who were not far behind him, "You've won!"

Shen Feng was startled and hurried forward. He repeatedly confirmed that it was his name and was overjoyed.

"Ah, congratulations, little scholar." Zhong Yan followed him to look up the list, and the word "Shen Yan" was impressively written on the list.

"Are you the younger brother of the Shen family?" Two wealthy officials on one side came over and took hold of Shen Feng's arms, "You are indeed a young talent, a perfect match for my daughter."

Seeing this, Zhong Lan stopped in front of Shen Feng, pulled his arm over, and greeted him with a smile: "Except for the two members, my brother has no plans to get married for the time being, so you two should give it up."

The two officers' faces darkened, and they quickly smiled and said, "You can get engaged if you don't plan to get married. My daughter is beautiful, I'm sure my brother will like her when he sees her."

Zhong Lan was speechless and was thinking about how to respond.

"Thank you two gentlemen for your kindness. I already have a sweetheart." Shen Feng naturally understood what they meant and bowed humbly to the two of them, "A gentleman does not force others to do anything. I appreciate your kindness."

As soon as Shen Feng said this, the two officials were immediately embarrassed, and Zhong Lan was also stunned.

Seeing that the two were no longer entangled, Shen Yan pulled the dazed Zhong Yuan over, carefully protected her from the crowd, and walked towards the carriage.

"Wait a minute, little scholar, do you have a sweetheart?" Zhong Lan grabbed Shen Feng, "Why haven't I heard you say that?"

Seeing that no one was following, Shen Feng smiled and let go of Zhong Lan: "I'm here to fool them."

The corners of Zhong Lan's mouth twitched.

Noticing the change in Zhong Lan's expression, Shen Feng stared slightly, pretending to be confused: "Sister Lan, why do you seem a little disappointed?"

Zhong Lan suddenly felt as if his heart had been seen through. His cheeks turned red and he laughed dryly: "What disappointment? Who is disappointed?"

Feeling that he had lost face, Zhong Lan hurriedly turned around and returned to the carriage, but his heart was beating extremely hard.

After seeing Shen Feng's No. 18, Wen Shu felt even more uneasy. Shen Feng was so down-to-earth and studious but got the No. [-], so Wen Yi was so careless, didn't he really fail?

"Big sister! Look, me!" Wen Yi tugged at Wen Shu's sleeve and shouted excitedly.

Wen Shu stared at it and saw Wen Yi's name written clearly at number six on the list. She couldn't help but feel startled. She quickly covered Wen Yi's mouth and squeezed out of the crowd with her servant.

Wen Yi won No. 18 and Shen Jie won No. [-]. Everyone in the Wen family was very happy, but due to their status, they decided to just celebrate a little.

A total of 30 people in Danzhou passed the examination, and the two of them ranked highest among the Yong'an candidates.

As soon as the news came out that the two young men had won the election, Cai Shi, the magistrate of Yong'an County, visited the Wen family early and held a flowing banquet for the two young men for three days to celebrate.

Wen Yi and Shen Feng have extraordinary demeanor, and now they have won the exam again, especially Wen Yi. The one who passed the exam was not as suave as him, and the one who was more suave than him was not as good as him.

The two of them instantly became the most popular young talents in Yong'an City and even in Danzhou.

The Wen Mansion became lively for a while, and everyone wanted to come and seek some benefits.

Fortunately, Mrs. Zheng handled matters appropriately and sat in charge of the Wen Mansion calmly, so the two children were not tricked.

The two were successful, and the Wen family's prayers at Jinbai Temple came true, and they had to go to fulfill their wishes.But Mrs. Zheng couldn't spare the time, so she sealed the thick sesame oil money and asked Wen Shu and Zhong Lan to take Wen Yi and Shen Jie there.

Still harboring grievances about what happened last time, when the children were about to leave, Mrs. Zheng took Wen Shu and urged them repeatedly before letting them go.
