As the top scorer of this year's exam, Shen Kesi is naturally the most eye-catching one.

He was riding a tall horse, wearing a red silk flower on his head, and was full of vigor and vitality.

Thinking that his sister was standing in front of Lianxiangzhai watching him go by, a smile suddenly appeared on Shen Kesi's face.

When he smiled, he looked as gentle as jade and extraordinarily handsome.

Everyone waiting on the street was stunned. They didn't expect that the top scorer in this exam would be so young.

"The champion smiled. He is so handsome."

"In the past, the third place winner was always more handsome. I didn't expect this year's first place winner to be so good-looking as well."

"This year's top scorer is the second son of the Shen family, so his appearance is naturally not bad."

"The second son of the Shen family? I was wondering why he looked familiar. Turns out he's Little Master Shen's older brother."

"That's right, there's no one in the Shen family who isn't good-looking."

"The third son of the Shen family also passed the imperial examination this year. He followed the parade this time, right behind."

"Really? I have to see the Third Young Master of the Shen Family later."

"This year's third place winner is also very handsome."

"I know the third place winner. It's Xue Cong, the young marquis of Guangping Marquisate."

"The runner-up looks quite elegant, though a bit older."

"The runner-up isn't from the capital, but Wei Qian, the eldest son of the Wei family in Ji County. He already has a wife and children back home. The top two, on the other hand, haven't gotten engaged yet."

Just as the team took a few steps, flower handkerchiefs were thrown towards Shen Kesi and Xue Cong from time to time.

Wei Qian also received some flowers, but not as many as the other two.

As he was about to pass by Lianxiangzhai, Shen Kesi looked up at the window on the second floor and saw Shen Huazheng sticking her head out and waving at him.

Shen Kesi smiled and waved to Shen Huazheng.

"Strange, where is the top scholar looking? Why do I feel like he's smiling at someone?"

"I saw it too. It seemed to be heading towards the private room of Lianxiangzhai. Could it be that he has a crush on someone?"

"What sweetheart? The top scholar is looking at his own sister - Little Lady Shen."

"Yes, wasn't that Mr. Shen standing at the window just now?"

"If you hadn't mentioned Little Master Shen, I would have forgotten about him. The Shen family is truly remarkable these days. Aside from Madam Shen, the rest are either already officials or about to enter officialdom."

"The Shen family is truly amazing. Four Hanlin scholars and five Jinshi scholars in three generations."

When the people around heard this, they couldn't help but ask, "Why is it four..."

The man paused mid-sentence.

Others also remembered that the late Old Master Shen was also a Hanlin.

Now that Shen Kesi has been selected as the top scholar, he will definitely be admitted to the Hanlin Academy.

Adding Shen Zhaonian and Shen Keting, there are four Hanlin scholars in three generations.

It is such an honor to have five Jinshi in one family.

Not to mention the three generations and four Hanlins!!

When the team passed by Lianxiangzhai, a gorgeous flower was suddenly thrown from above and hit Shen Kesi's robe directly.

Shen Kesi was well prepared. He gently pinched the crabapple flower with his fingertips and inserted it on his lapel.

When Shen Huazheng saw that the flowers she threw were caught steadily by Shen Kesi, she smiled brightly.

You know what, my second brother looks pretty good wearing crabapple flowers.

I'll give one to my third brother later.

Xue Cong, who was standing behind, watched this scene with a slight glint in his eyes.

Shen Keheng also sat on the tall horse with his head held high, enjoying the joy and excitement of the moment.

This time he ranked sixth in the second class. The first class was awarded "Jinshi Jidi", the second class was awarded "Jinshi Chuanchu", and the third class was awarded "Tong Jinshi Chuanchu".

Not only were the Shen and Zhou families very happy, but Shen Keheng himself was also very satisfied with the result.

Although he is not as good as his elder and second brothers, he is still a Jinshi after all.

Lianxiangzhai is right in front, and his sister must be waiting for him there.

It doesn’t matter what other people give me, what matters is that it’s given by my sister.

When passing by Lianxiangzhai, Shen Keheng also received the crabapple flowers thrown down from the upstairs by Shen Huazheng.

He happily put the flower in his hair, straightened his back, and continued riding forward.

Since the flowers were sent by my sister, they should naturally be placed in the most conspicuous place so that everyone can take a good look at them.

Nangong Yixian stood in the crowd, quietly watching the team passing by.

I'm lucky today, and I can see the style of the top three in Daliang.

Nangong Yixian watched the team gradually walk away. Just as he was about to go to the food court to see if there were any new delicacies, he heard the discussions around him -

"I heard that the top scholar porridge just launched at Yipinlou was made by Little Lady Shen for her two brothers before the imperial examination."

"Is this true? The two young men of the Shen family were able to pass the imperial examination this time. Isn't it related to the top scholar Jidi porridge?"

"Although it sounds a bit weird, I think it's possible. Even though Shen Kesi is talented, he's still a little young. Logically speaking, he has a high chance of being selected as the third place winner. How did he become the first place winner?"

"Perhaps Miss Shen is a blessed person herself, and this top scholar porridge represents her blessing. Any candidate who eats this porridge should be able to do well in the exam."

"You have a point. My nephew also studied at the Imperial College. He said Xue Cong would have lunch with the Shen brothers every day. The Shen brothers would often share the food sent by the Shen family with him. Perhaps Xue Cong also ate the top scholar porridge at that time."

"That's incredible! Anyone who ate the Zhuangyuan Jidi porridge had a top scholar and a third scholar. If someone in your family is going to take the imperial examination, you have to buy this porridge and try it, no matter how expensive it is."

"Then I have to take my son to Yipinlou to try the Zhuangyuan Jidi porridge."

"I have to hurry to Yipinlou to make a reservation before it's sold out."

"No one in my family wants to take the imperial examination, but I'd like to give it a try. Maybe I can get some good luck."

"You guys go to Yipinlou. I'm going to the food court. I heard that because both of the Shen family's sons passed the high school entrance exam, there's a section of the food court where they're giving away free food. If you come up and congratulate the Shen family, you can get one."

"Then I want to go too. It doesn't cost any money and I can share in the festive atmosphere."

Nangong Yixian listened to the conversations of the people around him, with a smile on his face.

Zhuangyuan Jidi porridge?

It sounds quite interesting.

He looked at Qin Jia and said, "Let's go to Yipinlou."
