Although Chen Xi’s top scorer in high school, he was still a “prisoner” of Yu Niang before the food theft case was closed. This time he was allowed to visit relatives for only one hour. At most, he would sit down and have a meal together, explain it, and he would go back to Dongsheng Inn.∷∷,

Chen Xi tried his best to explain the matter to Lin Dai so that she could be prepared in her heart so that the little girl would not think about it. He promised to share the joy of the fish and water with Lin Dai after the exam and share the wish of flying.

But Lin Dai didn't appreciate it. When she saw Chen Xi, the little girl's temper got up. Nine-headed cows couldn't pull her back. She went straight to the room and even inserted the door bolt... She obviously hoped that Chen Xi would come in to coax her, but she was so angry that she blocked Chen Xi's way of talking to her.

When Lin Dai lay on her little pillow, she wanted to cry but couldn't cry.

Things have happened for a long time. When I was lonely and scared at night, my tears had already cried. I was too happy to see Chen Xi, so how could I feel sad?

I wanted to go over and take off the door bolt, but for the sake of face... The little girl has been lonely and helpless since she was a child, and she is the most powerful and unwilling to give in.

The sound of Chen Xi talking to Ning'er came in from outside.

Lin Dai was so nervous. Since entering the capital, Ning'er has been like a little fairy, even dressed up in a colorful manner when going out to buy vegetables. She also knew that Ning'er had "seduced" Chen Xi and knew that she was uneasy.

Listening to Ning'er's charming and warm words, Lin Dai whispered in a angrily voice: "You are confused by the phlegm, and you are covered with fat, and you don't know what you are good at..."

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

The little girl hasn't come into contact with many people since she was a child, and she mostly learned the words of cursing people from Chen Xi. In the stories that Chen Xi told her, there were too many lingering things, but there were only a handful of them. Even some of the words that curse viciously were selected by Chen Xi.

The yard is very lively. When Chen Xi comes back, the happiest thing is Zhu Shan.

Zhu Shan is a simple person. Since he lived in the mountains for a long time and knew nothing, she used to take care of Chen Xi, so she just wanted to eat well and do strength work, but Chen Xi was not at home these days. Many things not only require Zhu Shan to use his strength, but also use his brain, which really made her feel embarrassed.

Zhu Shan is the type who has thoughts and doesn't know how to hide it. When you are happy, you can hear laughter from afar. But for some reason, Lin Dai is not hostile to Zhu Shan, or he thinks that Zhu Shan will not have any impact on her status in the Shen family.

"Dai'er, I'll come back to see you today and leave later." Chen Xi's voice came from the yard.

Lin Dai was originally sitting on Shen Xi's bed and cursing. When she heard this, she would let go of her for the time being even more reserved.

If Chen Xi walks again, I won’t know how long it takes to go. My lover will go far away. She doesn’t even have a word of comfort, so how can she feel in her heart?

Lin Dai hurried over and opened the door. Just as he was about to walk to the yard, his eyes turned black and his delicate body had already hit a man's arms, but Chen Xi hid at the door and hugged Lin Dai.

Chen Xi's soft jade warm fragrance attracted a lot of her arms and said with a smile: "I knew you couldn't bear it."

Lin Dai's cheeks suddenly turned red, and her little fist was not polite, and she greeted Chen Xi directly.

Chen Xi knew that being seen in public would make the little girl lose face. He quickly pushed Lin Dai into the door and closed the door. Then he said softly and warmly to comfort him.

This time, Lin Dai was full of grievances and leaned slightly in Shen Xi's arms. Tears dripped down.

"Dai'er, I've already won the No. 1 pick... Do you know what the No. 1 pick is?" Chen Xi asked with a smile.

Lin Dai raised her head, pear blossoms were raining, and shook her head stupidly. Even though she had heard of the "top scorer" before, she didn't know what the top scorer actually means in the little girl's mind. She thought she could be a high-ranking official. Anyway, she didn't know very well about the imperial examinations, and only knew that Chen Xi could accompany her.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know. Please wait a few more days. I have something to do. I will come back to accompany you when I finish it. Then I will marry you."

When Lin Dai heard this, even though she felt a little resistant because of her shyness, she thought of her lifelong happiness, and her little head twitched a few times in a row as if she was not in charge. Because of her shame and joy, she bit her lower lip, but she never dared to look up at Chen Xi again.

Chen Xi smiled and stretched out her index finger, hooked her finger to wipe away the remaining tears from Lin Dai's face. Looking at Lin Dai's charming face, she felt a kind of heroic and tenderness in her heart that she could only win a smile on the world. She kissed her lips gently, then let go and turn and go out.

"Hello."

Chen Xi was about to go out, but Lin Dai suddenly raised her head, her little face had a fever, and she called out softly.

Chen Xi smiled and turned around: "Why, my little wife, can't bear to part with me?"

Lin Dai's cheeks were flushed, as beautiful as a peach blossom, but she said without saying: "The bad guy is not there. I just received a letter yesterday, which was for you."

Lin Dai went to the desk and took the letter over, with the envelope open. It was obvious that Lin Dai took out the letter and read it himself.

When the letter was handed to Chen Xi, Chen Xi took out the letter paper and saw that it turned out to be a letter from home.

The handwriting was written by Hui Niang, which conveyed the concerns of the Shen family for him. At the same time, he told him a message that Xie Yuner had set out to head north and would probably arrive in the capital in early April.

"Have you seen it?" Chen Xi asked.

"Yeah." Lin Dai was obviously a little aggrieved, "Sister Xie is going to the capital, then you... will be fine if I have anything to do."

Chen Xi thought to himself that Lin Dai had a strong sense of crisis. No wonder Lin Dai could put aside his past grudges so quickly and not care about the incident that happened between him and Xier at Dongsheng Inn. Lin Dai realized that Xier was only considered a foreign house at most, and could not compete for favor with her.

It’s different from Xie Yuner!

Xie Yuner is the wife whom Chen Xi was married back. Even if Chen Xi won the top scorer, the top scorer's wife was not Lin Dai, but Xie Yuner. Now she is considered a concubine when she comes in.

Chen Xi smiled and persuaded: "Aunt Xie always treats you and me as children. She comes over to see us, don't think too much."

Lin Dai had no idea. She was almost blindly following Chen Xi. She looked up at Chen Xi with affection and nodded obediently. Her delicate and charming appearance made Chen Xi unable to help but want to swallow her in one bite.

...

...

After coming out of the yard, Chen Xi and Wang Lingzhi walked in front, and Yu Niang followed behind.

Wang Lingzhidao: "Senior brother, in a few more ****, I will be taking the Wu Jinshi exam, but I don't know what to take at that time. Can you please mention me a little? Butler Liu and Uncle Shen San and others said that only senior brothers have the ability to teach me..."

Chen Xi remembered that his third uncle Shen Mingtang was still in the capital, but he didn't know if they knew that he had won the top scorer. However, based on Wang Lingzhi's question, Mr. Liu and Shen Mingtang may not know.

Chen Xi took out a letter from his arms and said, "I just wrote a letter. You can take it back to Butler Liu later and ask him to find someone to send it back to the Shen family in Ninghua."

"Um?"

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

Chen Xi did not explain. He knew that with Wang Lingzhi's mind, it would be in vain. Although he had no attachment to the Shen family in Ninghua, as a child of the Shen family, now the top scholar in high school, he had to write a letter to the old lady Li. This is the most basic etiquette and filial piety.

After Wang Lingzhi left first, Yu Niang caught up with Chen Xi a few steps and said with a smile: "Young master is studying outside, and she is surrounded by red and green, and she is very lucky."

This sounds quite provocative. But there is no conflict between Chen Xi and Yu Niang. At most, Yu Niang wants to give him Xier and Yun Liu, but he doesn't accept it. Chen Xi asked back: "Now I have a successful academic career, can't Yu Niang allow me to have a few confidantes around me?"

Yu Niang laughed again.

When a big man works outside, one is to seek fame, two is to seek profit, and three is to seek a beautiful woman. This is the source of motivation for men to work hard, and all three are indispensable.

If someone says that he is not fame, wealth, and sex, he either acts hypocritical or is bound by secular etiquette and law, which goes against his nature. In this regard, Chen Xi is young, but he is more honest than others.

Now Chen Xi is the top scorer in high school. The scholar's imperial examination career has reached the most successful ending, and the next step is how to become an official.

Since Chen Xi was the top scholar and became an official in the court, he was considered a career, had both good fortune and fame and fortune, and it was no exaggeration to pursue beauty.

Even though Yu Niang is experienced in dealing with people and is eloquent in her words, she cannot refute Chen Xi's words on this point.

When the two returned to Dongsheng Inn, the Ministry of Rites had already sent the invitation to the banquet the next day.

The Ministry of Rites gave the banquet to the Grand Tutor and Prince Taishi, and the British Duke Zhang Mao presided over the emperor. He was the top scholar and the top scholar Chen Xi. The banquet was a luncheon. The banquet was held at 2 noon and lasted for about two hours and would not end until the sun sets westward.

Just after sending the people from the Ministry of Rites away, Su Zhuan came to congratulate him. The day before yesterday, he failed to enter the inn and finally congratulated Chen Xi in person two days later.

When he arrived upstairs, Su Tong put up no less than ten invitations in front of Chen Xi and sighed: "Brother Shen, you are really capable. You won the top scorer at the age of thirteen, or the provincial examination, the imperial examination, and the palace examination. You may be the first person since ancient times. Look at these high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, you all want to make friends with you. It is really enviable."

Because Su Tong had a good relationship with Chen Xi, Su Tong was a high-profile person. Those who could not find Chen Xi and could not submit invitations were asked to submit them on their behalf.

Chen Xi looked through several invitations. Some officials invited him to the palace for a banquet, some scholars and literary associations invited him to attend, and some fellow Fujianese people who were doing business in Beijing asked him to write plaques and leave their names. Now he has won the top scorer, and his reputation has increased with the flow. As for the little reputation he used to fight with Tang Yin, it is nothing.

Su Tong suddenly mentioned: "Brother Shen, I heard that a censor wrote to Your Majesty and asked Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate the case of the sale. Tang Yin and Xu Jing have been detained in the prison of the Beizhen Fushi. I am afraid that life will be difficult. Cheng Minzheng, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, is said to have been dismissed from office, but he has not been imprisoned yet. It seems that the time is not far away."

Chen Xi didn't say anything. In fact, the direction of history has deviated a little because of his appearance. These days, he has focused on the palace examination and whether he can be ranked in the list of gold. He has not paid much attention to the progress of the Ministry of Rites' examination sales case.

If history had not changed, with Tang Yin, Xu Jing was severely tortured in the prison of Beizhenfushi, and Xu Jing would soon admit to bribing Xu Jing's servants under the punishment of the great punishment. If Xu Jing received a precise confession, Cheng Minzheng would inevitably be imprisoned and questioned.

It can be said that Cheng Minzheng died under his own big mouth, but also due to Xu Jing’s unstable will. In fact, as long as Xu Jing withstood the torture, his career path with Tang Yin would never be cut off.
