"Bai'er?"
As soon as Sheng Changbai came back, Mrs. Wang stood up first, walked out of the front hall in a few steps, and grabbed him.
"Bai'er, you?"
Mrs. Wang was hesitant to speak and wanted to speak, but for a moment she didn't know whether she should say it or not. At this time, her face was full of worry.
As a mother, some of Wang Ruofu's actions may be inappropriate, but if we only focus on the starting point, then she is undoubtedly very competent. At the very least, she is much better than Sheng Hong.
"Mother!"
Seeing Mrs. Wang's anxious look, he opened his mouth to respond.
"Don't worry, mother, there will be no accidents during your son's imperial examination!"
Sheng Changbai was always calm. He held Madam Wang's hand, nodded to her, and explained today's palace examination process.
In fact, not only Mrs. Wang and others were curious about what the process of this palace examination was, but even Sheng Hong, who had participated once before, pricked up his ears and listened quietly.
I think back then, although Sheng Hong also participated in the palace examination, he was very nervous and nervous at that time. He had no time to wait and see other people. Therefore, he was not very clear about the specific situation of the palace examination.
Not to mention, how many years have passed now, how can Sheng Hong still remember?
However, having said that, since Sheng Changbai has entered the palace examination, as long as nothing unexpected happens, he will basically be able to gain something.
The biggest difference is just the ranking.
Those who get the first place in the palace examination will naturally be the top three, number two, and top three, and will be awarded the title of Jinshi.
The second class is the second class, who were born as Jinshi. There are about a hundred people in the high school, accounting for one-third of the number of tribute scholars. As for the rest, they are the third class with the same Jinshi background.
I think back then, Sheng Hong was just a third-class player, and he got a third-class title and was born in the same class as a Jinshi.
"...So, mother, you can rest assured!"
Finally, Sheng Changbai said this.
After Sheng Changbai's narration, Mrs. Wang's heart suddenly became certain.
She knew that Sheng Changbai was always reliable in what he said and did. Since he said that, he must be successful.
"Ahem!"
After hearing this, Sheng Hong on the side finally couldn't help it anymore!
"Changbai!"
I don't know when, Sheng Hong had already arrived near Sheng Changbai. At this time, he took a few steps forward, pretended to be his former strict father state, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you think of this palace examination?"
"But... are you sure you can hit it?"
Sheng Hong asked thoughtfully.
Although Sheng Hong didn't say it clearly, everyone present could hear it and knew that he was asking Sheng Changbai if he could be among the top three.
First armor!
In response, Sheng Changbai shook his head.
"Father!"
"My son is not sure this time!"
Sheng Changbai let go of Wang Ruofu's right hand and saluted Sheng Hong solemnly, and then said seriously: "Father, my son knows that he is not a genius!"
"There is no extraordinary talent in the imperial examination. Now, my son has reached this stage only by hard work!"
"My son thinks to himself that if he gets lucky in this palace examination, he will only be ranked second in the imperial examination and be granted a Jinshi status!"
"As for Yijia, having a son is absolutely impossible!"
Sheng Changbai is very clear about his position. He understands that he is not as talented as his younger brother in imperial examination articles. In fact, even compared with Sheng Changfeng, he feels a little ashamed.
As he said himself, he was able to surpass Sheng Changfeng and participate in the palace examination because of his solid academic foundation.
In other words, Sheng Changbai persisted with extraordinary perseverance, and finally turned defeat into victory, defeating Sheng Changfeng, who was more talented than him.
In fact, Sheng Changbai was completely self-effacing.
Perhaps Sheng Changfeng's talent is a little higher than him, but Sheng Changbai's own talent cannot be underestimated. He is even far smarter than most people.
After all, the imperial examination was a way for the imperial court to recruit talents from all over the world, and there was something special about Sheng Changbai's ability to stand out.
"ah?"
"Bai'er, what are you talking about?"
Hearing Sheng Changbai demeaning herself like this, Mrs. Wang on the side was happy!
She ignored the open-mouthed Sheng Hong in front of her and said without thinking: "Bai'er, it is the Sheng family's greatest honor that you can participate in the palace examination!"
"How can this be as bad as you said?"
Mrs. Wang's face was filled with displeasure. She used a handkerchief to wipe away the dust from Sheng Changbai's body, and said comfortingly: "If you are not a genius, then who else is?"
"Bai'er, in my mother's heart, you are the true Qilin of my Sheng family!"
Having said this, Mrs. Wang seemed to be afraid that her officials would relapse into their old habit of scolding her sons, so she quickly added: "Besides, your father was nothing like this back then!"
Regardless of Sheng Hong's face gradually darkening, Mrs. Wang continued: "Even, he is not as good as you!"
"You know, he was just a Jinshi student back then, not as good as my Bai'er who was a Jinshi student!"
Wang Ruofu believed very much in Sheng Changbai, a son who looked very much like his father, and was so convinced by his judgment that he directly concluded that Sheng Changbai had already won the top two.
However, as soon as Mrs. Wang said these words, the atmosphere in the whole room suddenly changed!
Chang Feng, Ru Lan, Mo Lan, Ming Lan, and Sheng Chang Quan, who were standing behind Sheng Hong and his wife, all started to have headaches.
"Madam, she really doesn't care about the occasion when she speaks!"
Everyone thought together, even Ru Lan couldn't help but complain.
They didn't expect that in front of all the children, Mrs. Wang would "speak freely" and directly exposed Sheng Hong's shortcomings as a father.
You know, in today's world, such a move is definitely not something worth advocating.
After all, such an action can almost be regarded as "disloyalty"!
In other words, Mrs. Wang can speak, but the children cannot listen. Otherwise, this would be unfilial!
Therefore, the several children first looked at each other for a few times, and then with the tacit understanding over the years, they retreated, preparing to leave the venue to Sheng Hong and his wife.
Of course, maybe one more Sheng Changbai will be added.
Because from today on, Sheng Changbai is finally qualified to assume the lintel of the Sheng family.
…
No one knows how Qi Heng talked with the people from Prince Yong's Palace. Not even Princess Pingning and Princess Jiacheng knew anything about it. Only the two parties involved at that time knew.
However, Qi Heng finally brought Duke Qi back from Prince Yong's Mansion.
However, after he finished all this, he suddenly fell ill. After that, he couldn't even attend the celebration banquet held by the Sheng family.
Yes, Sheng Changbai's prediction was absolutely correct!
He is indeed ranked second as he said.
Moreover, the ranking is also very good. Apart from the three people in the first class, there are only fourteen people above him.
Although there are many people in the second class, their ranking is also extremely important, because it also represents everyone's weight in the hearts of the officials.
Having said that, the Sheng family had not held a celebration banquet for the Sheng Changbai Palace Trial before. In addition to being concerned about the situation of Qi Heng and others, they also had the same concerns as today - they wanted to celebrate together after the Sheng Changbai Palace Trial was successful.
Of course, this kind of thinking can only be a tacit understanding between Mrs. Sheng and Sheng Hong. As for Mrs. Wang’s intention, it would be best to hold two events!
