The whole family traveled through time, and the best people were actually doing involution in ancien

The magistrate's reward and the documents soon arrived at Shenjia Village.

This time, there were more officials coming to report the good news than before, and they were also more enthusiastic towards the Shen family.

A team of more than a dozen officials set out from the county town, beating gongs and loudly announcing the good news along the way, making all the onlookers envious.

Now Shenjia Village has become even more famous, and the most famous people are Shen Laosan and his group. When the official announcing the good news read out the magistrate's commendation in front of everyone, the whole Shenjia Village was in an uproar.

The village chief was so excited that he almost fainted. It was the first place among thousands of people. Shen Ruhai really won the first place.

There is also his third cousin. He is so old and has great-grandchildren, but he actually passed the imperial examination and became a juren.

Will my third cousin become a juren from now on?

The village chief thought he was dreaming. When he saw Shen Mingzhu taking the document and reward from the official, he ran over and asked Shen Mingzhu:

"Did the Third Brother really pass the test?"

Shen Mingzhu nodded, and the village chief asked again: "Did my third cousin, your grandfather, also pass the imperial examination?"

Shen Mingzhu: "Yes, grandpa not only passed the imperial examination, but also ranked tenth, although a little worse than my father."

Before Shen Mingzhu could finish her words, the village chief asked anxiously, "Did Mingshu also pass the examination and get first place in the list of scholars?"

The village chief was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes and he laughed loudly:

"Haha, our Shen family finally has a scholar. Our Shen family has finally changed its status."

Shen Mingzhu ignored the overly excited village chief, gave a purse to each of the yamen runners who brought the good news, and sent the runners away. She was surrounded by the village aunties and congratulated by them.

Shen Mingzhu couldn't stand the chattering of the aunts, so she slipped into the house while they were talking happily.

After attending the Luming Banquet in the state capital, Shen Lao San and his friends returned home. Along the way, Old Man Shen felt dizzy and asked Shen Lao San in disbelief:

"Third brother, did I really pass the imperial examination?"

Shen Lao San: "Hmm"

“I really got the tenth place?”

Shen Lao San was very frugal with words: "Yes, you got the tenth place."

"Haha, I, Shen Shiwang, have studied for decades and finally passed the imperial examination with many children and grandchildren. Hahaha..."

Shen Mingshu was taking a nap with his eyes closed. He glanced at Old Man Shen and was speechless.

Nonsense, if you fail the exam again, will all those pills Zhuzhu gave you be in vain?

As soon as Shen Laosan returned to the village, he was welcomed with an unprecedented welcome. The villagers came forward and shouted, "The scholar is back."

"Congratulations! From now on you will be different from us peasants. You will be the real masters."

Shen Lao San greeted the villagers as usual, but Old Man Shen started to act Versailles again:

"What's a mere Juren? Even an old man like me could pass the exam. There's nothing to be happy about for the third brother to pass the exam and become a Jieyuan."

Shen Mingshu really couldn't stand his grandfather's boastful character, and thought to himself, Old man Shen was not like this before!

When did he start bragging?

Well, it was since his father passed the imperial examination and ranked first.

Shen Laosan and Shen Mingshu returned home and happily shared their joy with their family. Shen Mingzhu gave her father and brother a thumbs up.

After the family happily finished their dinner, Shen Mingzhu told Shen Laosan and his son what had happened at home in the past few days.

Old Third Shen didn't expect that such big changes had taken place at home in such a short time since they had been away.

His Zhuzhu is so capable!

Early the next morning, the village chief and clan elders came to the Shen family. Shen Mingzhu brought some fruits and tea, and took Shen Mingyu to Wang Mang's house to study.

What Shen Mingzhu didn't expect was that her master actually hired three more teachers for her today.

A teacher with a head full of white hair and a scholarly air, he was obviously a great scholar of literature. The master asked Shen Mingzhu to respectfully address him as Mr. Wang.

One is the dancing master Liu Ruomei, who has a pretty face but a slim and flexible figure; the other is the guzheng master Shui Hanyan.

Shen Mingzhu didn't understand. Didn't the master say he was here to teach her martial arts? Why did he find so many teachers?

The Saint Aunt said coldly: "Your father passed the provincial examination and won first place, right? If you pass the examination, you can be selected as an official. You are already a daughter of an official family. Don't you want to learn some skills of a daughter of an official family?"

"And Mr. Wang, do you know who he is? He is a great scholar of literature. Although you are a girl, you should also learn from the mind of a man and listen to Mr. Wang's lectures more often."

Shen Mingzhu was a little confused as to why her master wanted her to learn so many things, but learning more was a good thing for her.

As a result, she displayed amazing talent. Not only was Mr. Wang stunned by her and Shen Mingyu's learning talent, even the dance teacher Liu Ruomei was amazed at the flexibility of Shen Mingzhu's body.

Shen Mingzhu's extraordinary learning ability amazed the guzheng master. The guzheng master had been teaching students all his life, but he had never met such a talented child as Shen Mingzhu who could write lyrics and compose music by himself and could apply what he learned to other situations.

Before long, except for Mr. Wang who allowed Shen Mingzhu to sit in on his half-hour class every day, the other two teachers said that they had nothing to teach Shen Mingzhu.

Shen Mingzhu's superb talents not only stunned the teachers, but also Saint Aunt and Ouyang Yunhai. Wang Mang proudly said:

"Who is Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu is the smartest child I have ever met. What's so surprising?"

Today is the busiest day in the entire Shenjia Village. The county government has sent people to erect a juren archway for Shen Laosan.

Here, if someone passed the imperial examination, the government would allow him to erect his own memorial archway.

Generally speaking, the memorial archways for Juren are erected with money paid by the family, but only Shen Laosan, the Jieyuan, had his memorial archway erected with money paid by the government, which was a great honor.

When the people of Shenjia Village saw the memorial archway for the successful candidates erected by the government, they cheered.

"Shenjia Village has produced a scholar, Shenjia Village has produced a capable person."

Shen Laosan invited Captain Zhang and others sent by the government to come into the house for dinner, but was rejected by Captain Zhang and others.

Nonsense, do they dare to put on airs in front of Mr. Jie Yuan now? If they go to eat Mr. Jie Yuan's food, won't that mean they are waiting to be dismissed?

After the government officials left, the elders of the Shen family called all the members of the Shen family to the ancestral hall.

When someone opened the ancestral hall, the wooden door creaked and everyone fell silent.

Shen Mingzhu stood outside the ancestral hall with her father and looked inside.

For some reason, this ancestral hall gave her a special sense of belonging, as if she was originally Shen Mingzhu.

The tablets in the ancestral hall are the tablets of her real ancestors.

Not only Shen Mingzhu had this feeling, but Shen Mingshu and Shen Laosan also had the same feeling.

The village chief's voice was so loud that the entire ancestral hall fell silent.

"Today, Shen Shiwang, the third branch of the Shen family, has passed the imperial examination and is here to report to our ancestors. I hope they will bless us."

"Shen Shiwang burns incense..."

"Today, Shen Ruhai, the third son of Shen Shiwang, the third branch of the Shen family, has passed the provincial examination and won the first place. I hope our ancestors will bless us."

"Shen is like the fragrance of the sea..."

"Today, Shen Mingshu, the eldest son of Shen Ruhai, the third branch of Shen Shiwang, the third branch of the Shen family, has passed the imperial examination and ranked first in the examination for the title of scholar. I hope that our ancestors will bless us."

"Shen Mingshu offers incense."

"Today, Shen Mingzhu, the daughter of Shen Ruhai, the third branch of Shen Shiwang, the third branch of the Shen family, has made great contributions to the Shen family. She is now recorded in the family tree. I hope the ancestors will bless her."

"Shen Mingzhu offers incense."

Shen Mingzhu was stunned. What? She was recorded in the family tree?
