The cry of "Song Zhengdu" was like a drop of water falling into a boiling oil pan, immediately causing a violent uproar.

Song Zhengdu himself was a little dazed. He had never thought that he could stand out among so many students and become the top scorer.

Song Yan happily hugged him and said loudly: "Good Erlin! I knew you could do it!"

"The first case, hahaha!"

Zhou Teng and others also gathered around and congratulated Song Zhengdu.

"Zhengdu, you are really amazing. You actually won the first place in the case." Zhou Teng patted Song Zhengdu on the shoulder, his tone full of admiration.

"Congratulations, please take care of us in the future." The classmates also said with a smile.

Song Yan looked at Song Zhengdu being surrounded by people, and he was filled with emotion. He knew that his Erlin had put in a lot of effort for this exam, and now it was finally rewarded.

"Brother, I really didn't expect that I would be the first in the case." Song Zhengdu couldn't hide his excitement.

Song Yan smiled and touched his head: "You have been working hard, this is what you deserve."

Song Zhengdu smiled and nodded.

The buzz of discussion in the crowd became louder, and countless pairs of eyes were fixed on the conspicuous name on the list.

"Who is this Song Zhengdu? Why haven't I heard of him before?"

"He must be a person of real talent and knowledge, otherwise how could he win the first place." Someone nearby responded.

"I really envy Song Zhengdu. Once he becomes famous, his future will be limitless." A thin-faced student shook his head and sighed, his eyes full of envy.

"I heard that the test questions were extremely tricky, but he was able to get the top score, which shows that he has a solid foundation." Some people began to analyze the difficulty of the test, which further highlighted Song Zhengdu's strength.

But some people said sourly: "Even if he got the first place, he is just a student. What is there to be proud of? It's not like he passed the imperial examination."

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused dissatisfaction among some people.

Upon hearing this sour remark, Song Yan curled her lips and retorted bluntly: "You are just saying the grapes are sour because you can't eat them! So what if you are a student? Being able to win the first place in the county exam is proof of your strength."

"To be the first in the exam at the age of ten is an honor that many people would never be able to obtain. If he continues to work hard, he will most likely pass the exam to become a scholar, a juren, or even a higher official."

Everyone was suddenly in an uproar, and their eyes were focused on Song Zhengdu next to him.

"Ten years old? So young!" An old man stroked his beard, his eyes full of amazement.

"At such a young age, he has won the first place in the county exam. His future is limitless!"

"This is the real child prodigy! Compared with him, we are really ashamed of ourselves."

Zhou Teng and his classmates were filled with pride, as if they were the ones who won the first place in the case.

Looking at the scholar again, he is already in his twenties and not even a student, yet he still has the nerve to say such sour words.

"It's really shameful for you to speak sourly." Zhou Teng said indignantly, his tone full of defense for Song Zhengdu.

Other classmates also echoed and criticized the scholar's inappropriate words and deeds.

"Zhengdu is only ten years old and has such talent. He deserves the first place. You don't work hard yourself, but you are still talking nonsense here. It's really despised."

"I think you are just jealous. If you have the ability, go and take the exam and get the first place yourself."

The scholar blushed and ran away in panic, covering his face.

The people around him looked at his miserable appearance and burst into laughter again.

Then everyone around turned their attention back to Song Zhengdu and came up to congratulate him.

Song Zhengdu quickly bowed in return.

Seeing that more and more people were coming, Song Yan quickly pulled Song Zhengdu and squeezed out of the crowd.

Then, Zhou Teng and the others came out from the crowd with happy faces and quickly followed Song Zhengdu and Song Yan.

"We also won the competition!" Zhou Teng shouted excitedly, "Although the ranking is not high, it is a good start."

Hearing this, Song Zhengdu smiled and bowed to congratulate.

“By the way, Brother Gu also won, and he got second place!” Zhou Teng’s tone was full of surprise.

Unexpectedly, all five of their classmates passed the exam!

When Song Yan heard that Gu Qianfan had also passed the exam, she was not surprised. After all, the male protagonist was reborn, and it would be strange if he couldn't even pass the exam to become a student.

Thinking of this, Song Yan couldn't help but touch Song Zhengdu's head again, and looked at Song Zhengdu as if he was looking at his treasure.

Even the male protagonist who has memories of two lives cannot pass the test better than Erlin from his family.

What is genius?

This is!

The pride in Song Yan's heart was about to overflow.

He waved his hand and said with great pride: "Let's go to Xiangfenglou. I'll treat you all! I'll treat you all to a good meal. Everyone has worked hard during this period."

Zhou Teng and his friends wanted to decline, but Song Yan frowned and said, "No one is allowed to decline. We must celebrate today."

"The competition was so outstanding, and you all gained something. This is a great event, and we must celebrate it."

Zhou Teng and others smiled at each other, no longer refusing, and their hearts were filled with joy.

The group of people walked towards Xiangfeng Building in a mighty manner.

As soon as you enter the building, you will be greeted by a lively atmosphere.

The shop assistant came up to him with a big smile on his face: "Oh! It's a distinguished guest! Mr. Song, please come in."

Song Yan said familiarly, "Let's go to a private room and have all your signature dishes served."

Tie Niu responded hurriedly: "Okay, Mr. Song, please come this way, gentlemen." As he spoke, he led the way and brought everyone to the private room on the second floor.

Everyone took their seats one by one, and soon Tie Niu brought a pot of good tea and a few plates of exquisite snacks.

The aroma of tea rises in the air, and the exquisite appearance of the dim sum is pleasing to the eye.

Everyone's eyes were first attracted by the exquisite snacks, and then they all looked at Song Yan at the same time.

Zhou Teng and his companions were all students from ordinary farming families. They had never seen such a luxurious restaurant where even the snacks were so exquisite and small.

I felt a little restrained for a moment.

Zhou Teng said awkwardly: "Brother Song, we really feel bad for spending so much money."

Song Yan laughed and said, "Why should I feel bad about this? Today is to celebrate the success of the competition and everyone else, so we should reward them well."

"You are all ambitious and talented students with a bright future ahead of you. There is no need to be so restrained by such a small matter."

Song Zhengdu also said: "Du is lucky to be taken care of by all the brothers on weekdays, and today's celebration is what we should do. Everyone, don't be restrained. In the future, we will work together to strive for high school!"

After listening to what Song Yan and Song Zhengdu said, Zhou Teng and others gradually felt relieved.

A freckled boy said with emotion, "Brother Song and Zheng Du are so open-minded. We really shouldn't be so shy. We will remember today's feast and work harder in the future to live up to Brother Song's expectations."

"That's right." Song Yan smiled.

At this time, Tie Niu came in with a plate of food.

"Gentlemen, this is our Xiangfenglou's signature dish, 'Emerald White Jade Soup'. It has just come out of the pot and is still hot."

The green leaves are as crystal clear as jade, and the white tofu is as soft and delicate as white jade.

Tie Niu carefully placed the dishes on the table. The aroma instantly whetted everyone's appetite.

Then, Tie Niu served several dishes one after another, each of which was brightly colored and beautifully presented.

There is the dish called “Golden Scales Leaping in the Waves”, where the golden-fried fish pieces look like they are leaping in the waves.

There is also "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon", in which colorful fruits and vegetables are arranged into the shape of clouds, and a white glutinous rice ball next to it looks like the bright moon hanging high in the sky.

Everyone was stunned and almost didn't dare to reach out to pick up the chopsticks.

While serving the dishes, Tie Niu introduced the features of his signature dishes.

After the dishes were served, Tie Niu stood aside respectfully and said, "Gentlemen, enjoy your meal. If you need anything, please call me anytime." Then he left.

Song Yan called out, "Come on, everyone, don't be polite and eat as much as you want."

Everyone then started to eat, and for a moment, the only sounds in the private room were light chewing sounds and occasional exclamations of admiration.

The freckled boy said with emotion, "I only heard that the food at Xiangfenglou is delicious before. After trying it today, I know that the rumors are true."

Zhou Teng swallowed a mouthful of "Golden Scales Leaping Through the Waves" and nodded in agreement: "Thanks to Brother Song, we can taste such delicious food today."

As he spoke, he raised his teacup and toasted Song Yan: "Brother Song, I'll offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."

The other two also quickly raised their teacups.

Song Yan smiled and raised her teacup, clinking it with theirs and said, "You and Zheng Du are classmates and friends, there's no need to be so polite."

"Although I won the first place in this county exam, I still have a long way to go. The prefectural exam, the provincial exam, and even the metropolitan exam are all challenges. I only hope that you can work together and make a name for yourself on this road to the imperial examination."

The atmosphere in the private room was suddenly lively.

Then they talked about their next plans.

"Zhengdu, are you still going to continue with the prefectural exam in the second half of the month?"

Song Zhengdu said without hesitation: "Of course I have to continue. The provincial examination is a crucial test, how can I miss it?"

After passing the county examination, there is the prefectural examination, and then the imperial examination. Only after passing all three examinations can one be awarded the title of scholar.

The road to imperial examinations is long and arduous, and the county examination is just the beginning.
