Chapter 1037 The Number One Scholar Parade
Ever since the results of the palace examination were announced, relatives and friends came to the Lin family to congratulate them, and the excitement did not stop until the evening.

Bai Yiran heard Qiu Rong say that Bai Zhi wanted to know who had the food box, and thought that the food had been tampered with, so she went to Lin Jinyan in private to ask.

In order not to make Bai Yiran worry, Lin Jinyan simply said that there was nothing wrong with the food, only two pieces were eaten by someone, and it might be that a servant was greedy or wanted to take advantage of the joy of the new number one scholar.

If the food was opened in front of others and half a plate of food was left, it would be a loss of face for the General's Mansion, so Lin Jinyan asked Bai Zhi to question him.

Although the Gu family treated their servants in an easy-going manner, they had never had anyone so unruly. Although Bai Yiran had some doubts in his heart, he had never doubted Lin Jinyan, and he immediately said that he would go back home to investigate and give her a warning.

That night, Feng Xiaoran, who received the news, jumped up in anger and yelled:

"Who are you humiliating? Would someone from my Tianji Sect steal her two mouthfuls of food? This black-hearted girl is wrongly killing someone!"

The next day, the sky over Tai'an City looked as if it had been washed by water.

Half of the people in the city were in high spirits, and they surrounded the number one scholar as he paraded through the streets to watch the excitement.

Two soldiers carried flags that read "Top Scholar" and "Three Prizes in a Row" and rang gongs to clear the way. A man on horseback led the way with a whip in his hand. Lin Jinan, who was wearing a red robe, official boots, and a palace flower on his hat, followed closely behind on a tall horse.

The young man in bright clothes and riding a horse has a face that is part childishness, part bookishness, part calmness and graciousness, and part high-spiritedness.

He was born with a good-looking appearance, and this kind of dress was the icing on the cake, which made the girls' hearts flutter. Some of them were brave enough to throw sachets at Lin Jinan, which attracted countless girls to follow suit. There were too many of them, and Lin Jinan didn't know whether to accept or not. After a moment of hesitation, he simply ignored them. Behind Lin Jinan, the second and third place winners, wearing green robes and palace flowers in their hats, followed closely on the left and right. Two attendants held round fans with the word "Dengke" written on them, and two more attendants held umbrellas and fans awarded by the emperor. There was a circle of soldiers around, and Lin Jinan and others surrounded them.

The second place winner, Feng Zongchang, originally had no hope of getting into the top three, but something happened to the Qi family and Qi Mu was disqualified, so he replaced Qi Mu and won the second place.

He had read Lin Jinan's policy paper, and although he was several years older than Lin Jinan, he was still willing to admit his inferiority. Moreover, the Qi family was imprisoned because of slandering Lin Jinan, and Lin Jinan was also the benefactor who helped him pass the high school entrance examination, so he looked at Lin Jinan with sincere admiration and gratitude.

Never sleep.

The parade of the top scholar goes to Zhuangyuanfang, which happens to pass by the entrance of Yongan Lane. Yesterday, Wang Huizhao and Feng Siyao came to congratulate him, and they agreed to watch Lin Jinan's horse-riding parade together.

Lin Jinyan got up early and after arranging the purchases for the banquet, she and Lin Wanrong came to Buyehou to meet Feng Siyao.

An Zhixian had reserved a room facing the alley entrance early in the morning, but no one was allowed in, no matter how many old customers tried to persuade him.

When the Lin Jinyan sisters arrived, not only Wang Huizhao and Feng Siyao were there, but also Chu Chengping, Chu Chengyi, Feng Sinian, Gu Ruizhou and Gu Yichen were all there.

Before Lin Wanrong came, she didn't know Chu Chengping would also come. After knowing his intention, she was no longer as relaxed as before when greeting him. Her face turned red like the sunset, her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, and she didn't dare to look up at Chu Chengping at all.

When Chu Chengping saw this, he knew that Lin Jinyan had brought home the point. Faced with his beloved who knew his feelings, he was at a loss for a moment.
