However, without Jiang Suining's permission, Xier naturally did not tell him what happened a few days ago. She just said, "I was just asking casually."

Jiang Mushi didn't ask any more questions, but just looked at Jiang Suining again, "Sister, are you really not going to watch the fun?"

"No, you can take Xier over there. She just wanted to go and take a look." Jiang Suining said.

"Miss, I'd better stay here with you." Xier looked at Jiang Suining. She was curious whether what the young lady said was true. Now that she knew, she didn't have to watch the fun.

"No need to accompany me. I'm looking at the account books here. You have nothing to do here. Go and take a look."

Xier thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Miss, I'll go take a look. If there's anything interesting, I'll come back and tell you."

"Okay." Jiang Suining responded with a smile.

Xier and Jiang Mushi left. Jiang Suining's eyes fell on the account book in front of him, but he was a little absent-minded.

The scene of Shen Yanxi talking to him while riding on a horse that day suddenly emerged in his mind. Shen Yanxi should be even more glorious today.

The seventeen-year-old number one scholar and future important official of the imperial court, will Shen Yanxi gradually become a legend in this imperial city?

Jiang Suining suppressed his thoughts and continued to look at the account book.

I don't know how long it was, but I could vaguely hear a noisy discussion, and it seemed that a parade on horseback was coming.

Jiang Suining walked to the window and looked out from afar. Indeed, many people were walking towards this side one after another, and in the middle of the street, there were two men in red riding horses, but they were too far away and their faces could not be seen clearly.

"Why are there only two?" Jiang Suining was just feeling strange when he heard the waiter's surprised voice from the first floor.

"Mr. Shen, no, Mr. Shen, congratulations!"

"Thank you. Is your boss here?" Shen Yanxi asked.

"Yes, yes, the boss is upstairs." The waiter said quickly.

The sound of footsteps coming up the stairs was heard, and the next moment, Shen Yanxi appeared at the stairs on the second floor.

The bright red official uniform made Shen Yanxi's eyes and eyebrows look even more stunning. He stood at the stairs, and his handsome face, like jade, couldn't help but reveal a smile when he saw Jiang Suining.

"Aren't you supposed to be parading? Why are you here?" Jiang Suining was a little surprised.

"I just saw your brother in the crowd on the side of the road, but I didn't see you. I thought since you didn't go there, you must be in Ningxiu Restaurant, so I tried my luck." Shen Yanxi walked to Jiang Suining's side, "It seems that I am lucky."

Different from the restraint during their previous meeting, and also different from the nervousness when he expressed his feelings two days ago, Shen Yanxi, who had already said everything in his heart, now looked at Jiang Suining, and felt as if his whole body was opened up. He did not hide his smile and joy.

The high-spirited young man is really too eye-catching.

Jiang Suining looked at Shen Yanxi, and after a moment he smiled and said, "Congratulations."

Shen Yanxi's smile deepened. He stretched out his hand and opened his palm, revealing what he had just held in his palm. "Thank you."

Jiang Suining looked at the oriental pearl in Shen Yanxi's palm, was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Shen Yanxi's hat.

This oriental pearl is extremely precious and expensive. It is specially inlaid on the cap of the number one scholar. The second and third place scholars do not have this honor. Did Shen Yanxi take it off?

Shen Yanxi was afraid that Jiang Suining might misunderstand him, so he explained, "Don't worry, although this oriental pearl is inlaid on the crown, it already belongs to me, so there is no need to return it."

"I know, but I haven't done anything that requires your gratitude." Jiang Suining frowned.

"Who said no? Didn't you just congratulate me?" Shen Yanxi smiled particularly beautifully.

"Does this count?" Jiang Suining laughed in his heart, "I don't know how many people have said congratulations to you today. If you count it this way, even if you have a basket of Dongzhu, it may not be enough."

"You are different. Your congratulations are different from theirs." Shen Yanxi looked at Jiang Suining seriously.

Just now he had been looking for Jiang Suining on the street, thinking that she would come to watch his parade, but he never saw her. Until he saw Jiang Mushi and Xier, he knew that Jiang Suining would not show up.

But it didn't matter, if she didn't go to see him, then he would come to see her, it would be the same. In short, he wanted to see her.

Shen Yanxi still maintained the posture of extending his hand, as if he would not withdraw his hand unless Jiang Suining accepted it.

Jiang Suining frowned, "This Dongzhu is too precious and has a special meaning. I..."

"It is precisely because of its extraordinary meaning that I want to give it to you." Shen Yanxi interrupted Jiang Suining's refusal.

His eyes were full of enthusiasm and expectation, and he sincerely hoped that Jiang Suining could take the Dongzhu.

When Jiang Suining met that gaze, he suddenly felt as if burned and lowered his eyes unconsciously.

His eyes fell on the oriental pearl, and he felt Shen Yanxi's attitude that he would not give up until he took it. After a moment, Jiang Suining finally reached out to take it, "Okay, then I'll take it first. I'll keep it properly. If one day you want it back, you can just ask."

Shen Yanxi was not disappointed by Jiang Suining's words that left room for negotiation. He put down his hand and continued to look at Jiang Suining with a smile in his eyes.

"I heard that Dongzhu is very good for making earrings. I only have one. Please wait for a while. I will make you a pair."

Jiang Suining held the bead in his palm and couldn't help laughing, "This Dongzhu is not so easy to get."

In addition to its rarity, it was also a tribute to the royal family. Even the royal family members could hardly get one or two. Of course, precisely because of its rarity, it was specially inlaid on the crown of the top scholar to show its honor.

In the previous life, even in the entire Changning Marquis Mansion, one could not be found, especially one that could be obtained easily.

"I will do what I say." Shen Yanxi looked at Jiang Suining intently.

Downstairs, the people's noisy and joyful voices were getting closer and closer. Jiang Suining turned his head and took a look. "Did you just abandon them and rush over here? Isn't it time to return to the team now?"

"It's actually okay if you don't go back. Parading is a rewarded honor, but there is no rule that you have to tour the entire imperial city."

"But it's not good to leave like this." Jiang Suining avoided Shen Yanxi's sight and spoke softly.

Shen Yanxi looked at her and nodded, "Okay, then I'll go finish my swim and I'll come see you tomorrow."

After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Suining's answer, he turned around and went downstairs very quickly, as if he was afraid of hearing Jiang Suining's words of rejection.

Jiang Suining stood there, stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Outside Ningxiu Restaurant, Shen Yanxi jumped on his horse.

The team had already arrived here, and some people had just noticed Shen Yanxi walking out of Ningxiu Pavilion, and they all looked towards Ningxiu Pavilion curiously.

Jiang Suining had already left the window before everyone's eyes turned to him, so he didn't notice that when Shen Yanxi returned to the team, the third place winner stopped and dismounted...
