More and more people came to the Shen family to congratulate them, and there was an endless stream of horse-drawn carriages on the roads of Shenjia Village.

What the villagers didn't expect was that many wealthy people from the town and the county came to the wedding banquet held by Shen Laosan's family.

Shen Laosan and his family didn't know these wealthy people, but since they were having a wedding banquet at home today, anyone who came to congratulate them would be welcome.

So, the people in Shenjia Village discovered that today many noble gentlemen wearing silk came to the third branch of the Shen family.

This was something unprecedented and it really opened their eyes.

The villagers were all very surprised. You know, these noble masters are not people that ordinary people like them can normally come into contact with.

Now that I can drink with these masters at the Shen family, I feel that I am benefiting from Shen Mingshu and his son.

However, this also made them feel awe for Shen Lao San and understand the gap between them and the Shen family.

Shen Mingshu did not expect that so many people would come today, and he did not expect that so many unfamiliar rich people would come.

Although he was a little surprised, he behaved very calmly and had a good way of dealing with people, which made the wealthy businessmen feel good about him. They all praised the father and son for their noble bearing, extraordinary temperament and bright future.

The proprietress of Jinxiufang in the county, who has been working with Shen Mingzhu and her colleagues for a long time, also came.

When she saw Shen Mingzhu, she pinched Shen Mingzhu's little face happily. Seeing that Shen Laosan and his son had extraordinary demeanor, she couldn't help but praise the Su family for being so blessed.

She really envied Su. Su herself had extraordinary embroidery skills, and her husband and son were also outstanding people. She was really enviable.

Su didn't expect Li Sanniang to come, and she happily welcomed Li Sanniang into the house.

Someone in the village recognized Li Sanniang and pointed at her back, saying in surprise:

"Isn't that Li Sanniang, the proprietress of Jinxiufang in the county? She's here too?"

Everyone looked at Li Sanniang, confirmed it was her, and said enviously:

"No wonder the Shen family suddenly had enough money to buy a mountain, a carriage, and build a new house."

"It must be that Su's embroidery is very profitable. Jinxiufang is the largest cloth store in the county. I went there once. The things inside were so expensive that I didn't even dare to take a look."

"Boss Shen is so arrogant all the time. His father-in-law's cloth shop only sells cloth for ordinary people, which can't be compared with Jinxiufang. Look, how good is the female shopkeeper of Jinxiufang to Su?"

"Well, speaking of Boss Shen, I haven't seen Boss Shen since the old Shen family split up and cut off ties. The two children in their eldest room have studied for so many years, but neither of them passed the exam to become a scholar. However, the father and son of the third Shen both passed the exam to become the first. Boss Shen and his family must be too embarrassed to see anyone!"

"Who says it's not true? If a ruthless person like him had the nerve to show up here today, I would find it strange!"

Boss Shen was abandoned and lay on the bed wailing, having no idea that Third Brother Shen and the others had passed the exam.

He now wants to die. This is the shame of his life. Not only will he not be able to live a humane life in the future, but he will also have to endure the pointing and pointing, spitting and scolding of others for the rest of his life. This is more painful than killing him.

What made him most miserable was that after this scandalous incident, Li refused to prescribe medicine for him or hire a doctor for him, and simply left him and Shen Mingkuan, two disabled people, to starve and suffer at home.

Boss Shen was so hungry that he felt dizzy and anxious. He wanted to eat, but no one cooked for him. His legs were broken, so he couldn't get out of bed. He could only lie on the bed and wail.

At the same time, he hated the person who attacked him.

I don't know which bastard played such a dirty trick on him, making him look like a half-human, half-ghost.

If he were to find that person, he would cut that bastard into pieces.

Just as Boss Shen was gritting his teeth and cursing, Shen Mingzi pushed open the door and a foul odor rushed into the room. She quickly covered her mouth and nose, frowned and said in disgust:

"Why does it smell so bad?"

When Boss Shen saw Shen Mingzi, he felt like he had seen a savior. He quickly got up and wanted Shen Mingzi to bring him a bowl of rice.

Shen Mingzi sneered and said mockingly:

"I'm still bringing you food? If you're so useless, why don't you just die?"

"Look at what you did. Now the whole county knows about it. It really makes me lose face. How can I kiss you in the future?"

"Shen Mingzhu has a good father, but what about me? Have you ever thought about my feelings when you did these things? You are such a useless person, you really make me angry. You are still eating, you might as well die."

Boss Shen looked at Shen Mingzi in astonishment. Is this still his daughter? Is this still his well-behaved and filial daughter?

Shen Mingzi looked at Boss Shen's disgusting appearance, and thought of the lively scene at Shen Mingzhu's house today. She was so angry that she ran to the table, picked up a pot of water and poured it on Boss Shen:

"Eat it! You made me look like this now, and you still want to eat it? I'll eat you to death."

Boss Shen was splashed with a pot of water, and his whole body was soaked, and his quilt was also wet.

His body was already in pain, and now it was even more uncomfortable. He pushed Shen Mingzi away in anger and roared:

"Are you crazy? Go cook for me right now, or I'll beat you to death. You're a money-loser. I envy Shen Mingzhu for having a good father, but you look so ugly, and you still want to be like Shen Mingzhu?"

"What did you say? What kind of a ghost am I? If it weren't for you, if you weren't useless, would I be like this now? It's all because of you..."

Shen Mingzi pointed at Boss Shen with trembling fingers and cursed him. She was so angry that her whole body was shaking and tears were streaming down her face.

The pretty face she was so proud of was now covered in pus and pits, turning into a horrible sight that was too ugly to be seen in public.

She had been going crazy these days because of her appearance, and now she was stabbed in the heart by Boss Shen.

Anger clouded her mind, she was so angry that tears streamed down her face, and she picked up the kettle and smashed it directly on Boss Shen's head.

In Shenjia Village, the third branch of the Shen family was extremely lively. The arrival of those wealthy masters made everyone who were drinking take a deep breath.

Now the headmaster of Bailu Academy, along with the teachers of Bailu Academy, as well as students like Tang Ren who were good friends with Shen Laosan, came to congratulate them, which made them speak even more quietly.

God knows how excited they were when they saw the carriages coming.

In the past, in the entire Shenjia Village, only the village chief's family had an ox cart, not to mention a horse carriage, they didn't even have one.

And today, there were more than thirty horse-drawn carriages parked in the Shen family's livestock shed alone. This was a grand scene that ordinary people like them had never seen in their lives!

Also, the dean of Bailu Academy, those scholars, these are all upper-class people! They all came to the Shen family today, Shen Lao San is really honored.

When Shen Laosan saw that Principal Yu from Bailu Academy, the teachers, and his good classmates had all arrived, he hurried forward to greet them.

"President Yu, Master Li, Master Xie, Master Gong, Brother Tang, Brother Zhang, Brother Wang, Brother Liu, welcome to my humble abode."

"Congratulations! You got first place in the college entrance examination. You really made our Bailu Academy proud! Haha..."

Director Yu Shan stroked his beard and laughed. He was particularly proud now.

Shen Ruhai was able to stand out among more than 2,000 students in the entire state and get first place in the exam. He is truly a talent.

The most important thing is that Shen Ruhai is only in his twenties. He is the first such young applicant in the whole state.

I haven't seen the deans of other colleges for a while. Whenever they see him, they ask him where he found such talents. These old guys are so envious.

Principal Yu felt that he had good vision. When he met Shen Ruhai in a bookstore, he accepted Shen Ruhai into his academy.

Shen Ruhai is extremely talented and hardworking, but most importantly, he is gentle and polite, a good student who is praised by everyone.

Wherever he goes now, he always says, "See, I have good taste, don't I? I got such a capable student like Shen Ruhai."

Shen Ruhai passed the examination and became a student. Not only was Yu Shanzhang happy, but other teachers in Bailu Academy were also very happy and proud. The teachers walked with confidence these days. Shen Ruhai made them proud.

Old Third Shen invited Yu Shanchang and others into the main hall and introduced Old Man Shen to them.

When Principal Yu saw that Old Man Shen had a scholarly air and heard that Old Man Shen was also a scholar, he had a better impression of Old Third Shen.

When he heard that the first place in this year's county examination was the eleven-year-old boy behind Shen Laosan, he was shocked.

"Oh! I lost my composure. I really didn't expect this, Ru Hai! Your Shen family is full of scholars, and everyone in the family is a genius!"

"Brother Shen, you are amazing! Not only did you raise your son to be so outstanding, but your grandson is also very good. You really have a good way of educating people!"

Old man Shen had never expected that the famous Bailu Academy's Principal Yu would be so easygoing. He had never expected that he would be so happy that his face would turn red and his chest would straighten out because his son and grandson were praised by this leader in Wuxi County's education sector.
