When Shen Xingqi was speechless, she saw a figure rushing into the kitchen with a whoosh.

"Ma'am, great joy, great joy!"

The two people in the kitchen were stunned for a moment before realizing that the figure was Su Zhan who had gone out early in the morning to inquire about news.

Is it just that the reaction is too big?
Su Zhan gave people the impression that he was always stable, and everyone was used to his unhurried style of doing things in the past, and he had never seen him lose his composure.

Isn't this product being worn?
Cheng Xi complained nonchalantly in his heart, "Look at you so happy, your son won't be the top of the list, right?"

As soon as the words fell, I saw Su Zhan's expression of "how could you know, madam".

Cheng Xi: "."

To tell the truth, she really just blurted out the words in a hurry, it couldn't be true, right?
Cheng Xi does have enough confidence in Shen Xingluo, and he also firmly believes that with his ability, he can definitely crush his peers, but the prediction is one thing, and the reality is another.

In fact, when she saw Su Zhan's eyes that were equivalent to confirmation, she felt a surge of joy that she hadn't even noticed.

"Really! Now our family is going to be in the limelight."

But does it matter?

Not important, really not important.

After all, it is a matter of time before Shen Xingluo shows off his black belly to the point of plotting people to death, and it doesn't make much difference if he comes out early or late.

Shen Xingqi next to her was belatedly aware, and her face was extremely excited.

"Brother is the top of the list? Brother is the top of the list! Huiyuan who will try this time, is it true???"

"Really, miss heard correctly, the subordinates saw it with their own eyes from the imperial list posted by the Ministry of Rites."

"Great, brother is so powerful, I knew it!"

Cheng Xi: "."

That's not what you said just now.

She seemed to be infected by the little girl's smile, she chuckled lightly and waved her hand, "In that case, give me an extra meal tonight, please eat and drink!"

"Yeah~(〃'▽'〃)"

*
Shen Xingluo and Qin Zheng pushed the door open and entered, a domineering fragrance rushed over their faces, causing the latter to gasp.

"Huh!"

It smells so good!
It must be another rare delicacy!

Qin Zheng couldn't hold back immediately, stepped into the wooden door, passed the male owner of the small courtyard and went straight to the backyard.

"Little sister-in-law is cooking delicious food again, I'm so lucky!"

Shen Xingluo had long been used to his fiery temper, and he followed without even stopping, walking into the backyard very quickly.

At this time, the long dining table in the living room was already filled with all kinds of food, all of which were full of aroma, and the smell just now was even more overbearing because of the distance.

Cumin lamb, sweet and sour short ribs, pickled fish, boiled prawns, grilled quail
Flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, the combination of meat and vegetables, the nutrition is extremely balanced, and there are even several dishes that even Qin Zheng can't tell what kind of ingredients are used, there is nothing that can't be seen, only unexpected .

Even Qin Zheng, who was used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help his eyelids twitched, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

Good guy, he called it good guy, this food is too rich, right?

Compared with the food of the Shen family, even the three meals a day of the major royal families and official families in the capital are much inferior. What's more, although the dishes on this table are indeed richer than before, the usual meals of the Shen family are also confiscated. with.

A strange sense of humbleness suddenly surged in Qin Zheng's heart.

By the way, what is the use of the Qin family being the richest man in the Great Yan Dynasty?He was so busy all day because of the affairs in the various shops, his strength and intelligence were not as good as this couple's, and his food was incomparable. What is the purpose of asking for so much money?
In terms of enjoyment, it's even worse.

Lost, lost, he, the Qin family, lost.

No comparison, no comparison at all.

Seeing Qin Zheng's complexion getting weirder and weirder, even Shen Xingluo, who can read people's hearts, couldn't guess what he was thinking.

However, the other party didn't need him to greet them at all when they were eating. Before the host and hostess of the Shen family sat down, Qin Zheng took up a seat by himself, and his expression returned to normal from the initial gloomy.

The rest: "."

Is your heart so big?

Sure enough, mentally handicapped children have a lot of fun.

Although Qin Zheng is not mentally retarded in the traditional sense, to some extent he can be regarded as the stupid son of the landlord's family.

"It's very lively in front of the Gongyuan today, why didn't my sister-in-law go to have a look?"

He ate the sweet and sour pork ribs without forgetting to cue the others.

"just forget it."

Cheng Xi, who has experienced countless crowds during the Spring Festival travel and tourist seasons, said that she is really not interested in crowds, "Today is the scene of a large lemon essence, and I am waiting for ordinary people to join in the fun."

Essence of lemon?what is that?
Qin Zheng wanted to ask, but seeing that there was only one chopstick left on the plate of prawns in front of him, he stretched out his chopsticks very quickly, and he was relieved when the prawn fell into his bowl.

It's okay, it's okay, keep it.

It scared him to death just now.

The guests and hosts had a great time at this meal, the members of the Shen family were really happy, and they were happy for Shen Xingluo from the bottom of their hearts. Qin Zheng himself also won an amazing ranking, so he drank high while eating, no For a long time, I danced with my hands and feet.

Just sitting on the seat, Mr. Xu was drinking a bottle of fruit wine with one hand, his wise eyes narrowed slightly, and he groaned when he landed on Shen Xingluo.

This kid has some ability.

Well, enough to be worthy of the apprentices his family took in halfway, that is.
"Why does this girl have a silly smile on her face?"

Cheng Xi, who was worried about his future life by his master, didn't know Mr. Xu's worry at all. After ordering Qin Shan to send his master back to the next door, he let everyone here separate.

When she returned to the room, Shen Xingluo was sitting by the window quietly looking at the scenery outside the courtyard, and it was impossible to see what he was thinking in his pair of black eyes.

"What's the matter, aren't you happy to win the top spot?"

Shen Xingluo came back to his senses, got up and made room for her, "Madam thought too much, I'm in a good mood tonight."

Cheng Xi sized him up for a moment, "You don't look happy, do you have no confidence in the palace exam?"

Before Shen Xingluo could answer, she denied the argument herself, "It shouldn't be, if you don't have any students in Lunwen's class who can fight, no one will be your opponent."

"." He didn't really want to fight with others, why did he use this description?
But one thing is right, the group of scholars who can't carry their shoulders and hands are indeed a group of weak chickens, with no fighting power.

"There is no need to worry about this matter. Although the palace test is not only about articles and insights, it also requires some luck, but... I am confident that I can have a place in the first class."

A?
Isn't that the No. [-] pick, No. [-] and Tan Hua?

"So confident—"

Seeing Shen Xingluo's indifferent expression, Cheng Xi knew that this was not a big talk based on his understanding of him, and he must have his own considerations for being able to say that.

"Tell me the basis for your conclusion?"

It is not easy for a child from a humble family to stand out. Some things are not decided by strength. There is no one in court and no background. No matter how strong one's own strength is, it is still difficult to stand out.

Moreover, this test is an additional test for students from other places, and the level of the students in Jingzhong Zijian is not low, and the latter has advantages that students from other places have never had - connections and backgrounds.

Based on such an analysis, the chances of non-local students wanting to enter the first class are really very small.

"The three places in Yijia are handpicked by the emperor."

Shen Xingluo didn't rush, "As the son of heaven, how many people have a good impression of the aristocratic family? The intertwining of these families has weakened a lot of power of the emperor. Even if they have interests in the royal family, His Majesty doesn't have a good impression of them."

"So, His Majesty intends to weaken the power of the family?"

Cheng Xi suddenly remembered what he had said before, Yu Heting in his previous life was still a candidate for the next imperial examination.

"By the way, what is the ranking of Mr. Yu?"

"Very high, seventh on the list."

"Wow~"

He is also a real student.

It's just that this god of learning is probably going to really say goodbye to Yijia this time. After all, there is someone more prominent than him in front of him. No matter how much His Majesty tries to weaken the power of the family, it is impossible to kiss two poor children as a favor. One armor.

Cheng Xi thought of something and rolled his eyes, with a bit of cunning, "I think you can be more bold."

If the person on the dragon chair really wants to do something to the family, maybe they can give it a push.

"What does Ma'am want to say?"

"Here, guess what this is?"

Shen Xingluo looked up and saw Cheng Xi's slender fingers pinching a thin letter, "Is it a letter from Shenjiacun?"

"Yes, do you want to guess what the news is?"

The man thought for a moment, and thought, "The second season of potatoes will be harvested this year. This is a letter of good news from Uncle Mantun."

"clever."

Cheng Xi was not surprised that he could guess that the letters sent by Shenjiacun were nothing more than those few things. It would be even more strange if he really couldn't guess this season at this time.

"The second season of potatoes was planted in early July. Uncle Mantun has rich planting experience and he has grown the second crop of potato seedlings very well. It is already mid-September, and the potatoes will not grow too much if we wait any longer. The best time to harvest."

The current person in power in Lin'an Mansion is the son-in-law of the Du family, and the Shen family village is even more tightly guarded by the fifth prince's soldiers. Even the neighboring villages don't know anything about planting potatoes, so it can be said that they have done a good job of keeping secrets .

However, both Zhifu Xie and the fifth prince knew that Shen Xingluo was the person behind the planting of the potatoes, and when the memorial was presented after all the potatoes were harvested, his name would definitely be on that case.

Perhaps it has already been registered with His Majesty?

Cheng Xi continued, "The yield of potatoes in the top-class fields is basically maintained at about [-] catties, and that in the lower-class fields is more than [-] catties. They will all be harvested in a few days, and the news will follow at that time. .”

In fact, Shen Mantun's letter was not sent after all the potatoes in the village had been harvested, but only selected a few acres of them to see the yield, and the result was very satisfactory.

After all the potatoes in Shenjia Village are harvested, there will be hundreds of thousands of catties of potatoes.
