Bestow glory to the king

Chapter 97 The No. 3 Scholar and ([-])
Xie Shao walked out of the teahouse in a daze. A group of students and scholars were discussing where to go next. A few servant-like people ran out of the crowd. After saying a few words in Shen Xi's ear, Shen Xi nodded and turned to talk to him. Everyone said goodbye, walked up to Xie Shao, smiled and said:

"I asked Weizhen to pay for it today. I still have some things to deal with. I will talk to Weizhen in detail next time. I will leave. Everyone, I will leave."

Xie Shao was still absent-minded at first, but after listening to Shen Xi's words, he suddenly cheered up, regained his unrestrained atmosphere, and bowed to Shen Xi with clasped fists, and everyone bid farewell to Shen Xi one after another.

Shen Xi and those few servants disappeared into the crowd, Xie Yu's eyes looked away with unfulfilled interest, Xie Zhong and Xie Chao invited everyone to go to Desheng Tower to appreciate poems again, and gave Xie Shao a warning look, Xie Shao He curled his lips and said:

"I don't know how to compose poems, and I don't know how to appreciate them, so I won't join in the fun with everyone."

Xie Heng and Xie Yu naturally wanted to go with them, but Li Zhen suddenly asked, "Wei Zhen doesn't want to go, but Miss Wu is willing?"

Xie Meng glanced at Li Zhen in surprise, saw his open eyes, thought he asked casually, smiled at him, and said:

"I don't want to, I'm just like my brother, I'm not good at poetry and calligraphy, and it's a disappointment to go."

Li Zhen cast his eyes on the pile of books in Xie Shao's hands noncommittally, and said nothing more. After they left, they parted ways and changed directions.

Xie Yu turned his head and happened to meet Xie Shao's resentful eyes, Xie Yu raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

Xie Shao held back the words to scold her before, but when he saw the picturesque beauty of the girl, he couldn't speak anymore, sighed, and said:
"No, you are very nice, what do you order such expensive tea? 380 taels. It's enough for me to drink tea for a lifetime."

Xie Yuan looked at her calmly, put his hands into his sleeves, and said in a mature manner:

"Didn't brother say that he wanted to invite Mr. Shen to drink tea?"

Xie Shao was furious: "I meant to invite him to drink tea, but I didn't say I wanted to invite him to drink tea, but I didn't say I would invite him to drink tea that is so expensive! 500 taels of tea, I, if I had known that it was so expensive, even the tea dregs would be too expensive." I will eat it."

Let him cry to death, he has such a prodigal girl!
Heartache, Shenshen, these can no longer explain Xie Shao's mood at this time.Especially when the person involved looked at him with an innocent expression, which made him unable to vent his anger.

Xie Yu hesitated for a moment, then raised his eyes, and said to Xie Shao, who was covering his face and howling, seriously:

"500 taels of tea is for Mr. Shen to drink, it's really a bit useless."

Xie Shao put down his palm, looked at the girl, and said, "You know Mai Tai too! Why did you go so early..."

"It's fortunate that Mr. Shen doesn't dislike such an ordinary tea."

"..."

On the ninth day of February, the test will begin.I have been taking three exams until the end of February [-]th.Three days later, when the list was released, Shen Xi, the eldest son of Dingguo Duke's mansion, won the first place without any suspense.

All Gong students who passed the exam will still have to take the palace exam next month, which will be divided into three rounds.

After three rounds, Shen Xi still came out on top as the No. [-] Scholar, second place was Du Yuanran, a talent from Jinling, and Tan Hualang was Li Zhen, the prince of Jing'an.The three of them went to the Qionglin Banquet together, rode horses and paraded through the streets, and they were all in the limelight for a while.

It's just that after the palace examination, although the emperor listed the number one scholar, he never summoned Shen Xi after the Qionglin Banquet.
