Chapter 763 As you wish
Seeing that Lou Yulan was not buying it, Old Lady Qin immediately served as a maid to put the banknotes away, and she couldn't help but become a little anxious.
His expression changed immediately, and he immediately stepped forward to stop Tao Hong and said, "Forget it, it was grandma who misunderstood you."
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Lou Yulan's eyes.
When she got married, the Qin family only gave her some dowry as a show, because they thought that if she married the prince as a concubine, she would have no future.
Now, the prince has turned into a prince, and their Qin family has fallen on hard times, so they start to curry favor with her.

Seven days later, the first round of preliminary examination results were announced.
Early in the morning, Shen Jingchuan took Shen Jing'an to see the list in person. Of course, although he was going there in person, he would not squeeze in like the other candidates.
He just found a restaurant nearby and asked Shen Jingan to take the servant and the housekeeper to have a look.
In this way, he can get the news first.
Shen Jing'an clenched his fists and his eyes were surprisingly bright. He was squeezed in the crowd, obviously nervous and excited.
The results are finally announced, and he will definitely make a splash this time!
Pushing aside the crowd, Shen Jingan squeezed to the front and looked at the list of results from the top.
The first round of the preliminary examination was similar to the provincial examination in autumn. Shen Jingan looked through the lines one by one, and soon found his name. The smile on his face froze immediately.
Eighth place – Asian dollar.
He did not get the expected first place, but instead only got the eighth place.
Shen Jingan's expression gradually turned cold. Even though this result was considered good by many people, it was still like a bucket of cold water poured over his head for him.
"How could it be... How could it be only the eighth?"
Shen Jing'an murmured to himself that he had made preparations for several policy essays, and he had also made sufficient preparations in several aspects of classics and history.
How come... I only got eighth place?
"Congratulations, Brother Shen, congratulations!" Someone recognized Shen Jingan and congratulated him with a smile.
Shen Jing'an said nothing, pushed away the person who was blocking his way with a sullen face, and turned to leave.
The people behind him looked at his back and couldn't help but sneer at him, "What are you so proud of? He just won second place, but with the way he looks, someone who doesn't know would think he won first place!"
"That's right. They used to say it was out of this world, but I think it's just like that."
"Indeed, he is not as good as Shen Shuhan by a long shot. Tsk, what a pity..."
The group of people were talking a lot, although the voices were not loud, but Shen Jingan did not go far.
A few words reached his ears, making him even more angry.
Shen Shuhan!
How exactly can he not compare to him?
He is nothing but a useless person now!
Back at the restaurant, Shen Jingan had suppressed his anger and unhappiness and put on a calm expression.
Shen Jingchuan stood up hurriedly, with a hint of nervousness and anticipation in his eyes.
"how?"
Shen Jingan raised his hands, looking ashamed: "The son has failed his father..."
Shen Jingchuan was stunned, and there was an uncontrollable sense of loss in his eyes.
"My son only got eighth place."
Shen Jingchuan heard this and his expression turned to joy again: "Eighth place? Not bad! There are many talented people in Beijing, and you can get the eighth place this time, which is a good result!"
Shen Jingchuan was generous in his praise and really thought it was good.
All students in the world hope to become the top scholar, but those who can actually become the top scholar are rare.
What's more, besides talent and knowledge, sometimes it also requires some luck.
His son is diligent but lacks talent.
Over the years, although he occasionally produced famous works and stunning poems, they were mostly just flashes of inspiration.
Judging from Shen Jing'an's talent most of the time, he always felt that it was not easy for him to make it to the palace examination and get a second-class Jinshi degree.
As for the first armor...
Shen Jingchuan couldn't help but think of Shen Shuhan again.
If Han Ge'er's leg had not been broken and he had not been killed by Xiao Heyu, he would have been a talented person.
What a pity! God does not bless the Shen family.
Shen Jing'an looked at Shen Jingchuan's expression calmly, and seeing that he was indeed happy, he relaxed a little.
But no matter how happy Shen Jingchuan was, he felt extremely lost.
He prepared so thoroughly, got four test questions, and memorized Shen Shuhan's answers, so why did he only get eighth place?
When the father and son returned to the Shen family, Old Madam Shen's face was filled with joy, and the second wife also said many auspicious words.
When Shen Shuyi heard the news, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
After all this, you only got eighth place?
If the test questions had not been bought or leaked, and if Ouyang Song had not stolen his brother's answers, I'm afraid Shen Jingan would have become a laughing stock in Beijing by now, right?
But it’s okay, now she understands her brother’s plan.
Doesn’t Shen Jingan like to plagiarize?
Then let him plagiarize as much as he wants.
Copy it all the way to your Majesty, and see how he will explain it then?
The crime of deceiving the emperor should be punished by death.
In this case, let him be happy for now.

Shen Jingan was actually not very happy, but everyone in the Shen family looked very satisfied.
My grandmother was very satisfied, my father was very satisfied, my second uncle was very satisfied, and my husband was also very satisfied.
This seemed to make his dissatisfaction disappear.
My father is right. How many people in this world can become the top scholar?
He has achieved what he has today and is already an outstanding figure. His classmates are so envious of him.
"Father, my son's next exam is coming soon. Now I have only one wish. Please fulfill it." Shen Jing'an bowed and stepped forward, speaking sincerely.
Shen Shuyi's eyes were deep, and it was obvious that she had guessed what he was going to say.
"Go ahead." Shen Jingchuan said bluntly.
"Mother did do a lot of foolish things, but over the years, she has been sincere and genuine to us, father, and grandmother. I went to visit mother not long ago. She looked much more haggard. I felt guilty seeing this. I hope father, for the sake of our past friendship, can release mother from her confinement and restore her food, clothing, and daily expenses."
Hearing this, Shen Jingchuan fell silent and did not speak immediately.
It's not that he doesn't remember the old friendship, but over the past year or so, he has seen another side of Qin Xuerong, which made him feel disappointed and angry.
But right now, Shen Jingan had just received his high school grades, and if he refused at this time, it would distract him.
Madam Shen's eyes swept over Shen Shuyi calmly, and she said slowly: "Ang'er is also very filial. Since he asked for mercy, Jingchuan, you should fulfill his wish this time."
"Yes." Shen Jingchuan responded, and then said: "In that case, it will be as you wish."
Shen Jing'an was delighted and felt more confident.
The next preliminary exam was approaching, and he still needed his mother to prepare more for him and get some test papers from Jinglou.
Unfortunately, the family did not have enough money, otherwise he would have gotten more test questions and would have definitely won the first place!
Shen Shuyi raised the corners of his lips, seeing clearly what he was thinking.
Now that Shen Jing'an has had his first taste of power, he already feels his blood boiling. His desire is endless and he only wants more.
