Chapter 277: Coming out on top
In fact, all the Tang family members who knew the inside story were happy to see this happen, and they even hoped that the Tang family would lose faster, so that those nobles would naturally not stare at them anymore when they saw that they were unprofitable.
Fortunately, this method really works.
When Tang Cheng rushed all the way to the capital again to seek the help of the crown prince, he was directly turned away.
He made a desperate appearance again, boarded the door of King Qin's mansion, and expressed his intention to surrender, and King Qin's staff immediately rejected him without hesitation.
At the beginning, King Qin recruited the Tang family because the Tang family had strong financial resources, but now the Tang family has become an empty shell, what else are they recruiting for? His own prince is not picking up rags.
Tang Cheng was very embarrassed to be kicked out of the Qin Palace, he looked like he had been in a few vicissitudes, and ran around the capital again, wanting to ask for assistance from the merchants he had cooperated with before, hoping that they could help.
But in the end, without exception, all ended in failure.
The Tang family's foundation in the capital was originally unstable, and they only cooperated with those businessmen a few times, and their friendship was not deep, and the businessmen were all profitable, so how could they be willing to help?
Tang Cheng boarded the boat back to Jiangding with a heart full of loss, and it wasn't until he got on the boat that he finally showed a look of relief.
That's great!
It seems that the two nobles in Beijing are not suspicious, their appetite has been raised, and they don't look down on the current Tang family at all.
In this way, they are safe.
Although their foundation and industry have been severely damaged, it would be a blessing in misfortune for them to take this opportunity to escape!
When Tang Cheng rushed back to Jiangding Mansion from the capital, it was already more than a month, and the time was already August.
Tang Cheng was only told at this time that Shen Yan had already completed the martial arts exam, and he also came back with a first place in the exam!
Tang Cheng was surprised at first, and then even a joy, "Really? That's great! ”
Tang Cheng had heard Tang Qing mention it before, Shen Yan was going to participate in the martial arts, and he was temporarily starting to make up for it, Tang Cheng was not hopeful at that time, he felt that Shen Yan was just making a small fuss, and it was impossible to be admitted.
But now, Shen Yan slapped him in the face, not only was he admitted, but he also took the first place like his younger brother.
Although I know that the scientific examination of martial arts is different from that of Wenju, and the gold content of the scientific examination of martial arts is not as good as that of Wenju, it is rare to be able to come out on top.
Tang Cheng sincerely praised Shen Yan, and Shen Yan was also happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to be complacent at all.
In this college exam, he felt very relaxed about himself, even in the strategy he was not good at, he still answered fluently, and there was no way to block his thinking as before.
This is all thanks to his hard work during this time, as well as Mr. Shum's strict teaching.
After he won the first place, he went to report the good news to Mr. Cen as soon as possible, and Mr. Cen was obviously very happy, first praised him, and then changed the conversation, and began to say sternly: "Even if you take the first place, don't get carried away, because the college exam is only the first exam, not only the content of the exam is simple, but also the level of the people who take the exam with you is generally not high."
Therefore, if you take the first place in the exam, it is only equivalent to being tall among the short people, and when you get to the township test, the meeting test, or even the palace test, you will only face more opponents, more powerful, and then your level is not enough to see, but it is not necessarily. ”
It was after listening to Mr. Cen's admonition that Shen Yan put away the snickering joy in his heart, and began to face up to his achievements, not daring to be proud and slack.
There are still two months left before the township exam, and during this time, he will refuse all irrelevant interference and only concentrate on reviewing.
Even in the face of Sangsang's temptation, he will also try to restrain himself and not let himself be distracted.
His current life is comparable to that of a monk.
However, for the sake of the future, he can only endure it temporarily.
Time passed quickly, in September, the Wenxiang test began, Tang Qing got off the field, won the first place in the exam again, and won the title of Xie Yuan.
The Tang family was so happy, and Tang Cheng couldn't wait to beat the gongs and drums and make a big deal.
But thinking of the current situation of the Tang family, he could only suppress this idea.
Where outsiders can't see, they secretly celebrate by themselves behind closed doors.
Tang Qing still didn't dare to slack off, now it was just a township test, he didn't even leave Jiang Dingfu, and the opponents he faced were limited.
Later, he will go to the capital, and when the time comes, he will have to face countless opponents.
As the saying goes, there are mountains outside the mountains, there are people outside the people, the world is big, and there are countless talents, he doesn't dare to hope to win the first place again, he just hopes that he can be on the list.
Only when he is successfully on the list can he have the opportunity to get ahead and change the court for the Tang family, so that their Tang family can avoid experiencing the same experience as before.
Tang Qing's results came out, everyone was happy for him, Shen Yan was happy, but at the same time, he only felt that the pressure in his heart was a little bigger, and he could only screen all distractions and concentrate more on reviewing.
It's another month in the blink of an eye, and it's time for Shen Yan to go to the exam room.
The whole family came to send him into the examination room, and Shen Yan felt quite strong.
Sang Sang was afraid that he would be under pressure, so he kept comforting him to do his best.
Shen Yan nodded, but he was riveting in his heart, this was one of his few opportunities, if he failed, he would have to wait for three years, how could he not firmly seize the opportunity?
God didn't let him down.
After three rounds of exams, Shen Yan walked out of the examination room exhausted.
The results were announced, Shen Yan ranked first again, and he also won Wu Jieyuan.
Seeing this result, Shen Yan was a little surprised, he was not surprised that he could pass, but he didn't expect that he was admitted to Wu Jieyuan at all!
Sang Sang was even more happy and completely lost his manners, and jumped and jumped while holding Shen Yan.
"Ah Yan, you are so amazing, I am so proud of you!"
Shen Yan felt the warm fragrant nephrite in his arms, and his face smiled.
He stretched out his arm, hugged her gently, and said in a firm tone: "I will continue to work hard, Sangsang, I will fulfill my promise to make you the Lady of the Command." ”
Sang Sang is the daughter of a general, her status is already very high, maybe she doesn't care about the identity of Mrs. Fate, but Shen Yan must earn it for her.
He can't let her marry him and then have to suffer with him, and he doesn't want others to laugh at her for marrying a man who has no interest.
Sang Sang nodded vigorously, "Well, I believe in you!" ”
She really didn't care whether she was destined or not, but she sincerely believed in Shen Yan and Shen Yan's ability, as long as he made up his mind to do something, he would definitely be able to do it.
This man is capable of that.
