The favorite of the royal group: the money-loving little ancestor soared to the top by selling talis

Chapter 224 Chapter 224: Waiting for this day for a long, long time

Seeing Shen Zhiyuan's haggard appearance, Xu Wanrou felt heartbroken and stood beside him, her clothes sticking to her clothes.

"Husband..." The silence was better than the sound.

"Don't worry." He looked into her eyes. When their eyes met, their eyes gradually became more intense and warm.

The look in their eyes made the Shen family blush and their hearts beat faster.

They stepped back three meters and turned their backs to them, letting the young couple look away.

Ruan Ruan purses his lips, it’s great to fall in love!

She had never been in love in two lifetimes, so she couldn't help but feel jealous.

Don’t know what it’s like to be in love?
……

The Zhongyong Prince's Mansion is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

Shen Zhiyuan returned to his yard, took a bath, changed clothes, and slept all afternoon.

Cheng Yurong prepared a delicious and rich dinner for Shen Zhiyuan to have a good meal. After all, he was hungry for seven days while attending the examination in Gongyuan.

Ruan Ruan also took the opportunity to have a big meal.

……

Lord Protector's Mansion
After learning about Shen Zhiyuan's participation in the examination, Shen Shaosheng couldn't sleep for several nights.

He really wanted to become Shen Zhiyuan, with his lovely wife Xu Wanrou by his side, and be able to participate in the examination.

There would be no such troubles as now, such as the disfigured grandpa, the crazy grandma, the weak mother, the irrelevant sister, and the shrew-like wife.

Especially Qin Manting, who is just one and a half months pregnant.

It was originally a happy event, after all, I had a miscarriage just two months ago.

Unexpectedly, the doctor said that she was weak and had been drinking miscarriage medicine for the past two days and would have to take it for half a month.

She clamored to eat bird's nest once a day, and other donkey-hide gelatin and deer antlers once a day.

Nowadays, the total property of the Protector's Mansion is only 30,000 taels. At first, two courtyards of the Protector's Mansion were burned down, and it took tens of thousands of taels of silver to rebuild and repair.

Where is the money left for Qin Manting to eat bird's nest?

Shen Shaosheng hid in a side room drinking. There were several empty wine cans on the table and several on the floor.

"Why did it become like this? Why..."

He muttered to himself, the wine pouring down his throat as hard as he could.

The wine flowed down his neck and soaked his clothes.

Qin Manting, who was standing at the door, listened to the movement in the room and found that there was no problem, so she turned and left.

She didn't even mean to open the door, she just wanted to make sure there was no woman in the room.

She doesn't care about other things.

……

After waiting for ten days, the day for the release of the results finally arrived.

This time, Shen Zhiyuan did not let his family go to the gate of Gongyuan to join in the fun. They all sat at home and waited for the official to deliver the letter.

Ruan Ruan was sitting on the main seat, eating candied fruits and pastries, feeling quite at ease.

Cheng Yurong sat opposite, busy instructing the old housekeeper to prepare for today's banquet.

She had a hunch that her eldest son would be able to pass the Jinshi examination and be a Huiyuan scholar.

Shen Zhiyuan and Xu Wanrou were sitting on the chairs on the left below, holding books and reading. They discussed issues from time to time, but they were very calm.

Shen Zhiqing was also busy looking at several account books, including those from the cake shop and other shops.

The abacus in his hand made a crisp sound, and the wooden beads kept moving, as if they were dancing on their own.

It seems to be alive.

Shen Zhiyu ate the cakes and looked at the family members doing their own things with great interest.

Shen Zhijie was reading the music score. Next month was the wedding day of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his eldest cousin, and he wanted to give them a piece of music.

Shen Zhicheng sat next to Ruan Ruan and peeled melon seeds for her to eat.

"It's already seven o'clock, why haven't the officials arrived yet?" Shen Hong walked around, and the shadows dazzled Ruan Ruan's eyes.

"Dad, what are you doing? Sit down quickly!"

"Daughter, why didn't the official official come? Was there something delayed on the way?" Shen Hong walked up to Ruan Ruan and picked her up.

"You and Daddy should go out and take a look. I'm really anxious."

He has good hearing, and he has already heard many footsteps and voices outside the palace. The person who brought the good news must have come.

"Daddy, daddy—" Before Ruan Ruan could react, Shen Hong had already carried him to the gate.

Dad, is there any use in being anxious?

"Look at how anxious he is. It's still early. How can official duties be so fast..."

Cheng Yurong looked at Shen Hong's back, but didn't scold him, because she was also impatient and could hardly sit still.

Shen Zhiyu and Shen Zhicheng put down the pastries in their hands and rushed out quickly.

Where can they sit still?

Shen Zhiqing and Shen Zhijie followed immediately.

Shen Zhiyuan and Xu Wanrou were left behind, shaking their heads helplessly.

"Rou'er, where do you think I can take the exam?"

"Husband, with your talent, you will definitely become a master of martial arts."

"just in case……"

"I believe husband, no matter how many students you take, you will be great."

The two of them walked and talked, feeling less nervous in their hearts.

Xu Wanrou truly believed that Shen Zhiyuan could take any number of exams, and there was no need to win the Huiyuan. As long as he could pass the Jinshi exam, any ranking would be fine.

Shen Zhiyuan pursed his lips and smiled, holding Xu Wanrou's petite and soft hand.

Many maids and servants went out to watch the fun.

Hundreds of people stood outside the gate of Prince Zhongyong's Mansion. When they saw Shen Hong's family coming out, they all raised their hands in congratulations.

"congratulations."

"Congratulations to Mr. Shen for being named on the gold list and winning the title of Huiyuan."

"Congratulations to Prince Zhongyong, Mr. Shen has won the Huiyuan."

Many passers-by came from the place where the Gongyuan list was posted. When they saw Shen Zhiyuan's name on the list, especially when they saw that Huiyuan was his name, they rushed to Prince Zhongyong's palace as fast as they could.

Just come to collect the jackpot and get the reward money.

Hearing the good news that Shen Zhiyuan had won Huiyuan, Shen Hong laughed loudly, waved his hand, and asked a few boys to bring several large boxes containing tens of thousands of copper plates.

A few boys filled baskets with copper plates and brought them to the crowd, allowing the people to take as many coins as they could, but they could only take them once.

"We rejoice together, everyone who sees it has a share." Shen Hong shouted loudly. After practicing martial arts for thirty years, his voice penetrated the crowd and suppressed the common people from messing around.

People lined up and took turns taking coins from the basket without any arguing.

"Hehehe...get the copper plate, come and get it..."

Ruan Ruan also grabbed a dozen copper coins with his small hands and threw them towards the crowd excitedly.

Shen Zhiyuan is a top scholar, and she will soon have a brother who is the top scholar.

When brothers Cheng Yurong and Shen Zhiyuan came out, they saw ordinary people taking coins happily.

"Young Master, you have won the first prize." Shen Su rushed to him excitedly and almost jumped onto the beam.

"Is it absolutely true?" Xu Wanrou opened her eyes wide.

Shen Su nodded desperately, with the corners of his mouth cracked to the base of his ears. "It's absolutely true, young madam, the eldest son, the official messenger is on the way."

Shen Zhiyuan smiled lightly.

However, the reaction of Shen Zhiqing's brothers was even greater than his own.

"Brother, congratulations."

"Congratulations to brother, congratulations to sister-in-law."

"Brother, you are so awesome. I want to become your teacher."

"Brother Yuan, you really hit the mark." Cheng Yurong's eyes shone like he was seeing a gold mine.

"Yes, mother, I won, Hui Yuan." Shen Zhiyuan's voice was plain. He had already guessed that he would win Hui Yuan. That's how strong he was.

Cheng Yurong nodded happily, her eyes moist and sparkling with tears.

I have been waiting for this day for a long, long time.

In fact, no matter whether he won the first prize or not, he was still her good boy.

She only needs her six children to be healthy, have a smooth life, and be happy.
