Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 160: On the list
"The eldest and second young ladies have been working extra hard recently and will definitely pass the Tongsheng exam. Madam, there is no need to worry."

Madam Shen seemed not to have heard Dougao's words. "What should I say so as not to undermine Aning and Awu's confidence?"

Obviously, Madam Shen didn't hold out much hope for the Shen sisters to pass the exam. After all, Shen Mengning was abducted as a child, leaving a traumatic memory. She had been slow to react over the years, so how could she be said to be smart all of a sudden? It would take time.

As for Shen Mengwu... Mrs. Shen didn't have any hope at all. After all, Shen Mengwu didn't like studying since she was a child and was determined to be a chivalrous woman.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Fuyu is probably the one with the best chance of passing the Tongsheng exam.

"Yeah, Miss."

Nanny Li curled the corners of her lips and called out deliberately.

As expected, Mrs. Shen's attention was instantly regained, and she sat upright in the main seat, as if she was not the one who was anxious just now.

After waiting for a long time, Shen Mengning still didn't show up. Mrs. Shen realized belatedly that Nanny Li was teasing her. She immediately laughed and scolded, "Nanny Li, be careful or I'll punish you."

……

Here.

Compared to others who were nervously waiting in front of the notice, Shen Fuyu and the Shen sisters found a small teahouse and sat on the second floor to clearly watch the lively atmosphere below the stage.

"Why are you in such a hurry? The test results won't change."

Shen Mengwu didn't understand why everyone was so nervous.

Except for the exams when Shen Mengwu was a little nervous, she was very cheerful at other times.

Shen Fuyu took a sip of tea and said, "Of course I want to know the result sooner."

"Ok."

Shen Mengwu imitated Shen Fuyu and took a sip of tea. The next second, Shen Mengwu spat it out twice.

Her face was filled with disgust. "Shen Fuyu, why do you like drinking tea? Don't you think it's bitter? Everything else has the sweet taste of tea leaves, I can't taste it at all."

Shen Mengwu has always drunk plain water, which is completely opposite to the living habits of ancient people.

After all, wealthy families rarely drink plain water, but only tea. Some even have excellent tea-making skills to show their talents.

The corner of Shen Fuyu's mouth twitched. "Shen Mengwu, you have to learn to savor it slowly. Drinking tea can sometimes be a way to cultivate your body and mind."

"Hi, Miss Shen, we meet again. It happens that it's too crowded downstairs and we don't have any seats, so why don't we just stay together?"

Cheng Ziqi and Lu Mingtang were together, obviously also waiting for the results of the Tongsheng examination.

Shen Mengwu frowned and looked at Cheng Ziqi, her eyes hinting at impatience. She didn't know why Cheng Ziqi had been haunting her lately.

However, they were classmates after all. When she was caught up in a cheating scandal, Cheng Ziqi and Lu Mingtang both guaranteed her in their own names, so Shen Mengwu suppressed her disgust.

"it is good."

"By the way, you testified for me on the day of the exam. I haven't had time to thank you yet, Senior Brother Cheng, Senior Brother Lu, thank you so much for trusting me."

Shen Mengwu's apology was extremely sincere. When she was caught up in the cheating scandal, Shen Mengwu was also very hopeless. She thought she would be nailed to the pillar of shame, but she didn't expect that so many people were willing to believe her. It was the trust of these people that ignited Shen Mengwu's hope and prevented her from feeling disheartened.

"We don't know about others, but Miss Shen has never cared about these empty names. Passing the examination for the title of Tongsheng will not be of any use to you except for a better reputation." Cheng Ziqi's round cheeks were full of smiles, and he looked at Shen Mengwu with eyes that revealed unconscious fondness.

"Second Miss Shen and I were classmates. When a classmate is in a dilemma, we naturally have to stand up and testify. What's more, we also believe in Madam Shen. She will never raise a bad child."

Meng Yuan, who was acting as an invisible person, couldn't help but speak.

"Well, it's over, don't think about the unhappy things."

This topic has finally been brought to an end.

Cheng Ziqi ordered some more snacks and treats, and seeing that there was an empty seat next to Shen Mengwu, Cheng Ziqi sat next to Shen Mengwu.

Shen Mengwu moved her lips. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a commotion coming from downstairs.

Sure enough, the guards squeezed through the crowd and posted a yellow notice on the wall.

The scholars and maids downstairs were squeezed in the crowd. The scene was extremely lively. They were afraid that they would not be able to report the good news to their young masters and young ladies in the first place.

"Hey, stop squeezing me! My shoes are about to fall off. I know you want to see the results sooner, but you also have to consider the safety of others."

"Hahaha, I passed, I passed. I took the exam for three years and finally passed. It was so hard. Mom said I was stupid and had no talent for studying. If I hadn't passed this year, she would have let me go home and farm. Fortunately, God had a good eye and let me pass in the last year. It turns out that God still favors me. I am so lucky."

"I failed the exam again. Do I really have no talent for studying? I knew how to do all the questions, so why did my grades turn out so poorly?"

"Impossible! How could my name not be there?! It must have been a mistake by the examiner. Let me check again. There's absolutely no way I could fail. When I was doing the test paper, I wrote like a god. The answer just popped into my head before I even had time to think. How could I possibly fail under those circumstances?"

Although it is just a small examination for students, some are happy while others are sad.

Suddenly, there was crying mixed with the laughter downstairs.

Of course, this kind of scene is nothing compared to the college entrance examination. After all, failing the college entrance examination is more sad.

"Miss, don't be sad. You are only seven years old this year. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. There is no need to rush. You are still young and have not yet opened your mind. Once you open your mind, you will definitely be on the list."

"Hehe, I knew my young master was smart and would definitely pass the exam. I have to hurry back to tell him the good news."

A variety of sounds came into his ears, and Shen Fuyu rubbed his eyebrows. It was really lively.

At this moment, the servant sent by the Shen family also rushed upstairs.

The servant was smiling, and seeing his expression, Shen Fuyu and the Shen sisters had the answer in their hearts.

However, he was still uncontrollably excited and looked at the servant expectantly.

The servant bowed and said, "Congratulations, ladies! You have passed the exam."

Surprise flashed in the eyes of the Shen sisters. After a brief moment of happiness, they realized that the servant had not mentioned Shen Fuyu. Then they looked at the servant nervously.

"Where's Shen Fuyu?"

Shen Mengning spoke nervously. If they all passed the exam and only Shen Fuyu failed, how sad would Shen Fuyu be?

However, Shen Fuyu is so smart, how could he fail the exam?
"Shen Fuyu was extremely lucky and passed the exam as the tenth from the bottom."
