Although Shen Xi was the top student in high school, he was still Yu Niang's "prisoner" before the grain theft case was closed, and this time he was only allowed to visit relatives for an hour, at most he sat down to eat together, confessed, and returned to Dongsheng Inn.

Shen Xi tried his best to explain things to Lin Dai clearly, so that she could be prepared in her heart, so as not to make the little girl think crookedly, but he promised to share the joy of fish and water with Lin Dai after the exam, and share the wish of flying.

But Lin Dai didn't appreciate it, and when she saw Shen Xi, the temper of the little girl's family came up, and the nine cows couldn't pull it back, so they went directly to the room, and even the door latch was plugged in...... obviously hoped that Shen Xi would go in and coax her, but she couldn't get angry, and blocked Shen Xi's way to talk softly to her.

Waiting for Lin Dai to lie on her small pillow, she wanted to cry but couldn't.

Things have happened for a long time, when she is lonely and scared at night, her tears have long been cried, and it is too late to be happy when she sees Shen Xi, how can she be sad?

I wanted to go over and take the latch down, but it was a shame...... The little girl has been lonely and helpless since she was a child, and she is the most strong, and she is unwilling to give in.

The sound of Shen Xi talking to Ning Er came in from outside.

Lin Dai was so nervous in her heart, since she entered the capital, Ning Er was like a little goblin, even going out to buy vegetables dressed up in a fancy way, and she knew that Ning Er had "seduced" Shen Xi, and knew that she was uneasy and kind.

Listening to Ning Er's charming and gentle words, Lin Dai scolded angrily in a whisper: "You are phlegm-lost, fat-blinded, and you don't know how to rely on people......"

I wanted to scold Ning'er, but the scolding was to Shen Xi, and I learned the scolding tone of Sister Feng in "Dream of Red Mansions".

Xiao Nizi hasn't been in contact with many people since she was a child, and most of the scolding words were learned from Shen Xi, and in the stories that Shen Xi told her, there were too many lingering things, but there were only a handful of scolding words, even if some of them were scolding, they were selectively modified and ignored by Shen Xi.

The courtyard was very lively, and when Shen Xi came back, there was nothing happier than Zhu Shan.

Zhu Shan is simple. Because she has lived in the mountains for a long time and doesn't understand anything, she used to have Shen Xi to take care of her, she just had to eat well and do hard work, but Shen Xi was not at home these days. Many things not only require Zhu Shan to exert his strength, but also to use his brain, which really makes her embarrassed to death.

Zhu Shan belongs to the type who has ideas in his heart and doesn't know how to hide them, he is happy, and laughter can be heard from afar. But for some reason, Lin Dai didn't have any hostility towards Zhu Shan, or thought that Zhu Shan would not have an impact on her status in the Shen family.

"Dai'er, I'll come back today and leave later." Shen Xi's voice came from the courtyard.

Lin Dai was originally sitting on Shen Xi's bed and scolding, but when she heard this, even if she was more reserved in her heart, she put it down for the time being.

If Shen Xi leaves again, I don't know how long he will go, and his lover will be far away. She didn't even have a word of comfort, how could she feel in her heart?

Lin Dai hurriedly went over and opened the door, and was just about to walk to the courtyard, when she felt that it was dark in front of her, and her delicate body had already crashed into the arms of a person, but it was Shen Xi who hid at the door and hugged Lin Dai.

Shen Xi Nephrite Wen Xiang hugged her arms and said with a smile: "I knew you were reluctant." ”

Lin Dai's cheeks suddenly turned red, and her small fist was not polite, and she greeted Shen Xi directly into her arms.

Shen Xi knew that being seen in public would make the little girl lose face. Hurriedly pushed Lin Dai into the door and closed the door, only then did he speak softly and comfortably.

Lin Dai was full of grievances this time, and leaned slightly in Shen Xi's arms. Tears "bata" "bata" drip down.

"Dale, I've already won the top prize...... Do you know what a champion is? Shen Xi asked with a smile.

Lin Dai raised her head, the pear blossoms brought rain, and shook her head in a daze, even if she had heard of "champion" before, she didn't know what the champion meant in the little girl's mind. I want to be a big official, anyway, she doesn't know much about those things in the imperial examination, she just knows that Shen Xi can accompany her.

Shen Xi smiled: "It's okay if you don't know, wait a few more days, I still have something to do, I'll come back to accompany you when I'm done, and I'll marry you when the time comes." ”

When Lin Dai heard this, even if she was a little resistant because of shyness, but when she thought of her lifelong happiness, her little head clicked a few times in succession as if she didn't obey the call, because she was embarrassed and happy, she bit her lower lip, but she didn't dare to look up at Shen Xi anymore.

Shen Xi smiled and stretched out his index finger, hooked his finger to wipe away the remaining tears on Lin Dai's face, looking at Lin Dai's delicate face that was not rouge but touching, Shen Xi had a kind of heroism and warmth in his heart that only Bo Jia smiled in the world, and kissed her lightly on the lips, then let go of her hand and turned around and went out.

"Hey."

Shen Xi was about to go out, Lin Dai suddenly raised her head, her little face was feverish, and she called softly.

Shen Xi looked back with a smile: "What, little daughter-in-law, you can't bear me?" ”

Lin Dai's cheeks were crimson, as delicate as a peach blossom, but she didn't follow her mouth: "Bad guy, no, I just received a letter yesterday, it was for you." ”

Lin Dai went to the desk and brought the letter over, the envelope was open, obviously Lin Dai took out the letter and read it herself.

When the letter was handed over to Shen Xi, Shen Xi took out the letter paper and looked at it, it turned out to be a letter from home.

The words were written by Hui Niang, which was the Shen family's concern for him, and at the same time told him the news that Xie Yun'er had left for the north, and it was estimated that she would arrive in the capital in early April.

"Have you seen it?" Shen Xi asked.

"Hmm." Lin Dai was obviously a little aggrieved, "Sister Xie is going to the capital, so ...... It's nothing to do with me. ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, Lin Dai's sense of crisis is still quite strong, no wonder Lin Dai will release her suspicions so quickly, regardless of the incident that happened between him and Xi'er at the Dongsheng Inn, Lin Dai realized that Xi'er is only a foreign house at most, and she can't compete with her for favor.

Xie Yun'er's side is different!

Xie Yun'er is the wife that Shen Xi Ming Media is marrying, even if Shen Xi wins the champion, the champion wife is not Lin Dai, but Xie Yun'er, and she is only counted as a concubine when she enters the door now.

Shen Xi smiled and persuaded: "Aunt Xie has always treated you and me as children, she just came to see us, don't think about it." ”

Lin Dai didn't have any idea, she was almost blindly obedient to Shen Xi, she looked up at Shen Xi with affection, nodded obediently, and her delicate appearance made Shen Xi can't help but want to swallow her in one bite.

……

……

Coming out of the courtyard, Shen Xi and Wang Lingzhi walked in front, and Yu Niang followed behind.

Wang Lingzhi said: "Senior brother, I will take the martial arts exam in a few ****, but I don't know what to take when the time comes." Can you give me a little bit of that? Steward Liu and Third Uncle Shen said that only Senior Brother has the ability to teach me......"

Shen Xi remembered that in fact, his third uncle, Shen Mingtang, was still in the capital, but he didn't know if they knew that he had won the top prize, but judging from Wang Lingzhi's question, he didn't know. Steward Liu and Shen Mingtang may not know.

Shen Xi took out a letter from his arms and said, "I wrote a letter just now, you can take it back to Steward Liu later, and ask him to find someone to send it back to Shen's house in Ninghua." ”

"Huh?"

Wang Lingzhi held the letter in his hand, "What is written in it?" ”

Shen Xi did not explain. He knew that with Wang Lingzhi's mind, the explanation was in vain. Although he has no attachment to the Shen family in Ninghua, as a child of the Shen family, he is now the champion of high school, and he still has to write a letter to the old lady Li's family, which is the most basic etiquette and filial piety.

After Wang Lingzhi left first, Yu Niang caught up with Shen Xi in a few steps, and said with a smile: "The son is studying outside, and he is surrounded by red and green, and the blessing is not small." ”

This sounds provocative. But there is no entanglement between Shen Xi and Yu Niang in matters between men and women, at most, Yu Niang wants to give Xi'er and Yunliu to him, but he doesn't accept it. Shen Xi asked rhetorically: "Now that I have succeeded in my studies, doesn't Yu Niang allow me to have a few confidantes around me?" ”

Yu Niang smiled dumbly again.

Big men do things outside, one is to seek fame, the second is to seek profit, and the third is to seek pink beauties, which is the source of motivation for men to work hard, and all three are indispensable.

If there are people who say that they are not fame and fortune, they are either cowardly. Either they are bound by secular rituals and go against nature. In this regard, Shen Xi is young, but he is more honest than others.

Now Shen Xi is a high school champion. The career of the scholar has come to a happy ending, and then it is how to be an official.

Shen Xi is not only the champion, but also a scholar in the dynasty, which can be regarded as a double harvest in his studies and career, fame and fortune, and the pursuit of beauty is not an exaggeration.

Yu Niang is considered to be a person with rich experience in dealing with the world. Articulate, on this point, she couldn't refute Shen Xi's words.

When the two of them returned to the Dongsheng Inn, the invitation from the Ministry of Rites for the next day's banquet had been delivered.

The banquet of the Ministry of Rites is presided over by the prince and the prince, the British prince Zhang Mao on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and the people of the banquet are the three hundred new science and technology scholars below the champion Shen Xi, the banquet is a luncheon, and the banquet starts at two o'clock in the afternoon, and it will last for about two hours, and it will not end until the sun is set westward.

Just sent the people from the Ministry of Rites away, Su passed to congratulate him, and the day before yesterday, he failed to enter the inn in Shen Xizhong, and finally congratulated Shen Xi in person two days later.

When he arrived upstairs, Su Tong put no less than ten invitations in front of Shen Xi and sighed: "Brother Shen, you really have the ability, you are the champion at the age of thirteen, or the township test, the meeting test, and the palace test, you are probably the first person since ancient times." Look at these dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, all of them don't want to make friends with you, it's really admirable. ”

Because Su Tong and Shen Xi are good friends, Su Tong is a high-profile person on his feet, and those who can't find Shen Xi and can't deliver the invitation will ask Su Tong to hand it over on his behalf.

Shen Xi looked through several invitations, some court officials invited him to the mansion for a banquet, some scholars invited him to participate, and some Fujian compatriots who did business in Beijing invited him to go over to inscribe a plaque and leave his name, and so on. Now that he has won the champion, his reputation has risen with the tide, and as for the little reputation he used to draw with Tang Yin, it is nothing at all.

Su Tong suddenly mentioned again: "Brother Shen, I heard that an official has written to His Majesty, asking His Majesty to thoroughly investigate the case, Tang Yin and Xu Jing have been detained in the Fusi Prison in Beizhen, I'm afraid life will not be easy." Cheng Minzheng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is said to have been dismissed, but he has not yet been imprisoned, so it is not far off. ”

Shen Xi didn't say anything, in fact, the trend of history has deviated a little because of his appearance, and his attention these days is all on the palace exam and whether he can make the gold list, and he doesn't pay too much attention to the progress of the Ministry of Rites and the examination of the question.

If history has not changed, with Tang Yin and Xu Jing being severely tortured in the Fusi Prison in Beizhen, Xu Jing will soon admit to bribing Xu Jing's servants under the punishment, and Cheng Minzheng will inevitably be imprisoned and tortured if he gets Xu Jing's exact confession.

It can be said that Cheng Minzheng died under his own big mouth, but also because Xu Jing was not strong-willed, in fact, as long as Xu Jing was tortured, his career with Tang Yin would never be cut off because of this.
