Chapter 321 Shen Nan Passes the Imperial Examination
The day of the results announcement finally arrived. Just as the sky was turning pale, Shen Nan and the guards hurried to the gate of the yamen.
However, to their surprise, many students had already gathered here, with different expressions.
Some clenched their fists, with beads of sweat oozing from their foreheads, but they were completely unaware, their eyes fixed on the closed gate of the yamen.
Some kept pacing back and forth, muttering, "Buddha bless you! Buddha bless you! Bless me to pass the imperial examination."
Everyone was nervous and looking forward to the results being announced soon.
Shen Nan stood in the crowd and couldn't help but be infected by the tense atmosphere. He looked towards the door from time to time, then subconsciously looked away.
Han Lin noticed Shen Nan's nervousness and quickly comforted him, "Sir, don't be nervous. Believe in yourself and you will be able to do it."
Shen Nan nodded. "Seeing them getting nervous makes me nervous too."
At this moment, the gate of the yamen slowly opened, and a yamen runner came out holding the list. The crowd instantly quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused on the list.
Shen Nan's heart was in his throat, and his hands clenched unconsciously. Han Lin patted his shoulder gently to cheer him up.
The yamen runner posted the list on the wall and then left. Everyone rushed forward, eagerly looking for their names.
Shen Nan squeezed into the crowd, anxiously searching for his own name. His eyes eagerly scanned the lines of handwriting, his heartbeat accelerating as his gaze moved.
Suddenly, his eyes fixed on the first place on the list, and the words "Shen Nan" came into view clearly. At that moment, his eyes lit up with surprise, his heart suddenly shrank, and excitement surged like a tide.
He stood there and confirmed it carefully. Yes, it was his name. He was indeed ranked first and was the top scorer!
Unable to suppress his joy any longer, he pushed through the crowded crowd, squeezed out a passage, ran to Han Lin and the others, and said excitedly: "I won! I won! Han Lin, I won the first place!"
A dozen guards also smiled and said, "Congratulations, sir, you have passed the imperial examination."
"Hurry! Let's go back to Beijing. I want to tell my eldest and second sisters the good news."
"Send the message back first, so that the princess won't worry."
"Yes, yes, yes, tell my elder sister right away and tell them the good news."
Shen Nan rushed to the inn excitedly.
At this moment, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats came from the front, and the carriage rushed towards them like a wild horse. The girl in the carriage was frightened and her face turned pale, and she screamed sharply.
Seeing this, Shen Nan shouted without hesitation: "Han Lin, help!"
Before he finished speaking, two guards jumped up with their Qing Kung Fu skills and quickly approached the out-of-control carriage amid the crowd's exclamations.
One of the guards flipped in the air and landed steadily in the driver's seat. He held the reins tightly with both hands, trying to stop the frightened horse.
Another guard flew to the horse and pulled the bit tightly to force the horse to stop, but the horse was too frightened and had great strength, and it dragged the guard forward for several feet before finally slowly stopping.
The girl in the carriage was so frightened that her soul was about to be blown away. She was still in shock for a long time. Shen Nan and the guards ran to the carriage and asked, "Girl, are you okay?"
They were all men and it was not convenient for them to get on a strange girl's carriage as it would damage the girl's reputation. If she was in a disheveled state, they would definitely be responsible for her.
Liu Xi was trembling with fear in the carriage. When she heard someone talking, she said incoherently, "Thank you for saving me, sir. I can't get off the carriage right now. Please send someone to take me back home. I will come to visit you in person later."
"It's just a small favor, nothing to worry about."
"Wang Jian, send the girl back."
"I obey my orders."
"Let's go back to the inn and wait for you."
After two cups of tea, footsteps were heard and Wang Jian came with Prefect Liu and Liu Xi.
Liu Xi was wearing a light blue silk dress, her hair fluttering in the wind. She leaned forward slightly, her posture elegant, her voice soft and gentle: "Thank you very much for saving me, sir."
The sound was like a yellow oriole singing in a valley, clear and melodious, with a hint of gratitude.
"Miss Liu, you're too polite. They saved you and it has nothing to do with me."
"Mr. Shen is so humble. If they hadn't ordered me to do so, they wouldn't have sent me back home. I will always remember your kindness in saving my life."
"You're welcome, Miss Liu."
Prefect Liu clasped his hands together and saluted, "Mr. Shen, you saved my daughter's life. Please come to the Liu Mansion and let me show my gratitude by being a good host."
"If I hadn't met Master Shen and his men today, the consequences would have been disastrous."
"Prefect Liu, it's just a small favor, don't worry about it. We'll be back to the capital soon."
Upon hearing this, Magistrate Liu hurriedly said, "Young Master Shen's success in the imperial examination is truly a cause for great joy, and we should celebrate. Furthermore, I have received a great favor from you, and if you refuse to honor me, I would feel deeply guilty."
Shen Nan didn't want to have close contact with local officials to prevent him from being exploited by people with ulterior motives and spreading the news to the ears of the emperor in the capital, which would cause trouble for his two brothers-in-law.
He still decisively rejected the invitation of Prefect Liu.
When Governor Liu saw Shen Nan's firm attitude, a trace of unwillingness flashed across his face, but there was nothing he could do.
Liu Xi gently tugged at her father's sleeve and said softly, "Dad, our benefactor has to return to Beijing for something. We should not disturb him, lest he miss his important task."
Prefect Liu sighed helplessly and could only give up. He said goodbye to Shen Nan and left the inn. He said angrily: "Xi'er, why did you stop us just now? If Dad had said a few more words, Master Shen might have accepted our invitation. That way, you two could have had more contact. If he saw your beauty and excellence, you would have a greater chance of marrying him. Even as a concubine would not be bad either."
"Dad, don't you see that Master Shen is getting impatient? If you keep pestering him, it will only make you and his impression of you worse. Now that we've left a good impression on him, we still have a chance when I go to the capital."
"Xi'er, that's right. Daddy is just anxious. We still have a long way to go."
The next day, Shen Nan went to the capital with his guards.
