Chapter two hundred and sixty two
"Bai'er?"
As soon as Sheng Changbai came back, Mrs. Wang got up first, walked out of the front hall in three or two steps, and grabbed him.
"Bai'er, you?"
Mrs. Wang wanted to speak but stopped and wanted to speak, but for a moment she didn't know whether she should say it. At this moment, her face was full of worry.
As a mother, Wang Ruofu's actions may be a bit inappropriate, but if we only talk about the starting point, she is undoubtedly very competent, at least, much better than Sheng Hong.
"Mother!"
Seeing Madam Wang's anxious look, he also responded.
"Don't worry, my son didn't have any accidents during this palace examination!"
Sheng Changbai was always calm. He held Madam Wang's hand, nodded at her, and told about the process of today's palace examination.
In fact, it was not only Mrs. Wang and others who were curious about the process of this palace examination, but even Sheng Hong, who had participated once, pricked up his ears and listened quietly.
Though Sheng Hong also participated in the palace examination back then, he was worried and nervous at that time, so he had no intention of watching others. 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 it?
However, then again, since Sheng Changbai has entered the palace examination, as long as nothing unexpected happens, he will basically gain something.
The biggest difference is just the front and back of the rankings.
Those who are first-class in the palace examination will naturally be the top scorer of the first place, the second place, and the three who are named Tanhua, will be awarded the Jinshi.
The second class is the second class, and he was given a Jinshi. There are about a hundred high school students, accounting for one-third of the number of tribute scholars. As for the rest, they are the third class and Jinshi.
Back then, Sheng Hong was just a third-class player and was born in the third-class Jinshi.
"…So, mother can rest assured!"
Finally, Sheng Changbai said so.
After Sheng Changbai's story, Mrs. Wang's heart suddenly became certain.
She knew that Sheng Changbai had always been reliable in speaking and doing things. Since he said that, he would definitely win.
"Ahem!"
Hearing this, Sheng Hong on the side finally couldn't help it!
"Changbai!"
At some point, Sheng Hong had already arrived near Sheng Changbai. At this time, he took a few steps forward, fiddled with his old strict father status, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you think of this palace examination?"
"Can you... be sure to win?"
Sheng Hong asked carefully.
Although Sheng Hong didn't say it clearly, everyone present could tell that he was asking whether Sheng Changbai could win the top three.
First A!
But Sheng Changbai shook his head in response.
"Father!"
"My son is not sure this time!"
Sheng Changbai let go of Wang Ruofu's right hand, bowed to Sheng Hong with a straight face, and then said seriously: "Father, my son knows very well that he is not a genius!"
"There is no extraordinary talent in the imperial examination. Now that my son has reached this point, he only depends on the word "diligence"!"
"My son thinks, if this palace examination is a great blessing, at most he will be ranked second and will be awarded the title of Jinshi!"
"As for Yijia, it's absolutely impossible for his son!"
Sheng Changbai was very clear about his positioning. He knew that he was not as talented as his younger brother in the imperial examination articles. Even compared with Sheng Changfeng, he felt a little ashamed.
As he himself said, his ability to surpass Sheng Changfeng and participate in the palace examination was his solid foundation in his studies.
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 is completely humble.
Perhaps, Sheng Changfeng's talent is a little higher than him, but Sheng Changbai's own talent cannot be underestimated, and he is even far more intelligent than most people.
After all, the imperial examinations are the talents that the imperial court recruits the world, and Sheng Changbai can stand out naturally has its extraordinary features.
"ah?"
"Bai'er, what are you saying?"
When Mrs. Wang heard that Sheng Changbai belittled him so much, he was happy!
She didn't care about Sheng Hong who was talking to her, and said without thinking: "Bai'er, if you can participate in the palace examination, it is the greatest honor of the Sheng family!"
"How could this be as unbearable as you said?"
Mrs. Wang looked unhappy. She dusted the dust on Sheng Changbai's body with a veil and comforted her: "You are not a genius, so who else is?"
"Bai'er, in my mother's heart, you are the real Qilin of my Sheng family!"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang seemed to be afraid that her official family would like to scold her son and then commit the old problem, so she quickly added: "Besides, your father was just like that back then!"
Regardless of Sheng Hong's gradually darkening face, Mrs. Wang continued, "Even, he is not as good as you!"
"You know, he was just a Jinshi, and he was not as good as my Baier's Jinshi!"
Wang Ruofu believed very much that Sheng Changbai, a son who looked very much like his father, was very convinced of his judgment and directly believed that Sheng Changbai had already won the second place.
However, as soon as Mrs. Wang said this, the atmosphere in the whole room changed immediately!
Changfeng, Rulan, Molan, Minglan, Sheng Changquan, and others who were standing behind Sheng Hong and his wife all started to have headaches.
"The eldest lady speaks without discrimination!"
Everyone thought to themselves that even Ru Lan couldn't help but complain.
They did not expect that in front of all the children, Mrs. Wang was so "speaking freely" and directly exposed Sheng Hong, the father's fault.
You should know that in today's world, such actions are definitely not an act worthy of advocacy.
After all, such a behavior is almost considered "stopping my son to be unfilial"!
In other words, Mrs. Wang can say it, but the children cannot listen, otherwise, this is unfilial!
So, the children first looked at each other for a few times, and then with many years of tacit understanding, they retreated and prepared to leave the venue for Sheng Hong and his wife.
Of course, maybe another Sheng Changbai needs to be added.
Because from today on, Sheng Changbai has finally been qualified to take on the lintel of the Sheng family.
...
No one knew how Qi Heng talked to the people from the Yong Prince's Mansion. Even Princess Pingning and County Lord Jiacheng knew nothing, only the two parties involved at that time knew.
However, Qi Heng finally brought the Duke of Qi back from the Yong Prince's Mansion.
However, after he finished all this, he suddenly fell ill. After that, he failed to attend the celebration banquet held by Lian Sheng's family.
That’s right, Sheng Changbai’s prediction is not right at all!
He was really ranked second as he said.
Moreover, the ranking is very good. Apart from the three in the first class, there are only fourteen people above him.
Although there are quite a few people in the second grade, their respective rankings are also extremely important, because this also represents the weight of everyone in the hearts of the officials.
Having said that, the Sheng family had not held a celebration banquet for the Sheng Changbai Examination before. In addition to the concerns about Qi Heng and others, they also had today's concerns - they just thought about celebrating together after the Sheng Changbai Examination was successful.
