The second day.

In the middle of Chang'an City, where the imperial list is shown.

This place has been completely surrounded. People and vendors from all over the city have gathered here, waiting to reveal the imperial list.

The imperial examination gave all the people hope, a direct road to the blue sky!

Even many court officials gathered in a nearby teahouse, saying they were drinking tea, but in fact they were just waiting for the results!

No matter who wins the first prize, his future career will be smooth sailing. It is always a good thing to make friends with him as soon as possible before he becomes an official!

Duke Zheng's Mansion, Wei Family.

"Shu Yu, Shu Yu, the results are about to be released, why aren't you in a hurry?" Cheng Chumo's rich voice came from the Wei Mansion. He was rushed to the Wei Mansion by his father early in the morning.

"Huh~yawn!" Wei Shuyu yawned and came out of the room sleepily. His hair was messy and his clothes were not neat.

"Chu Mo, why are you in such a hurry? Isn't it already early in the day?" Wei Shuyu was still a little sleepy. He studied the relationship diagram last night, how to exert great influence in the Tang Dynasty, build great achievements, and be famous throughout the ages... He went to bed late.

"Hey, can you not be anxious? The city will release the ranking soon. Aren't you excited about this exciting moment of revealing the emperor's ranking?" Cheng Chumo has a somewhat bold and arrogant temperament, and is quite upright.

"Not excited." Wei Shuyu shook his head nonchalantly. He has two thousand years of knowledge reserves, coupled with the strategy of dividing favors and orders, if he can't win Li Shimin's favor? Then he doesn't deserve to be called a time-traveling army.

Wei Shuyu looked at the eager Cheng Chumo and couldn't help but smile, "It's not like you won the top prize, why are you so anxious?"

"Oh, yes, why should I be anxious?"

"Oh, no, I'm worried for you. You've already won two yuan in a row. If you are the top pick in high school, wouldn't you win three yuan in a row? It will shock the past and the present!"

Cheng Chumo was so anxious, but he actually had selfish motives. He was the son of a military general, and was known as a rough and rude person among the second-generation dandy officials in Chang'an City. He was often laughed at by a group of sanctimonious second-generation civil servants.

If one's brother can be the top scorer in high school, who will dare to say that he is a rough and uneducated person in the future?

Cheng Chumo could proudly counterattack, "My brothers won three consecutive prizes and were number one in high school. You are awesome. Are you good? If not, don't beep in front of me!"

"Shu Yu, Shu Yu, are you at home?" Just as Wei Shuyu and Cheng Chumo were teasing each other, another delicate voice sounded.

"Yi'ai, here, come over here!" Cheng Chumo waved his hand quickly when he saw Fang Yi'ai.

Fang Yiai, the son of Fang Xuanling.

Cheng Chumo had never gotten along with Fang Yiai, the son of a civil servant, but it was thanks to Wei Shuyu who connected him.

The three of them are close buddies, and yes, we should also add Qin Huaidao, Qin Qiong’s son.

Wei Shuyu, Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaidao, and Fang Yiai are known as the Four Young Masters of Chang'an!

"Shu Yu, the results are about to be released soon, why aren't you wearing clothes?" Fang Yiai also quickly urged Wei Shuyu. Although he already knew the results from his father, it was still necessary to witness the results with his own eyes!

Cheng Chumo, who was stronger, pulled Fang Yiai into his arms and said with a smile: "Yai'ai, are you stable?"

"I do not know……"

"Stop talking, your father is Fang Xuanling, don't you know?"

Fang Yiai and Wei Shuyu looked at each other and nodded slowly, "Yeah! But we can't say anything about it yet..."

"Hahahahahaha! I understand! I understand! My brother won three prizes in a row and became number one in high school, haha!" Cheng Chumo couldn't help but laugh.

Wei Shuyu looked at the two brothers and couldn't help but smile, "You two chat first while I get dressed first!"

"Hurry, hurry up!"

…

Wei Shuyu returned to the room and started to put on his clothes. He also arranged his hair a little. Hearing the laughter of Cheng Chumo and Fang Yiai outside, he couldn't help but smile.

Fang Yiai, this brother is good. After he got the news from Fang Xuanling, he came over and told him immediately. This is an attitude toward a brother!

"Yai Ai, Yi Ai, don't worry, my brother is here, I will definitely not let you be a thousand-year-old cuckold king again!"

According to historical records, Fang Yiai married Princess Gaoyang... Princess Gaoyang had an affair with Monk Bianji, and Fang Yiai guarded the door for them.

Isn’t this the Millennium Cuckold King? But with Wei Shuyu here, it is absolutely impossible for this kind of thing to happen.

After Wei Shuyu finished cleaning up, the three brothers walked out of the gate of Zheng Guogong's Mansion side by side and walked towards the center of Chang'an City.

"Shu Yu, Chu Mo, Yi Ai, I have some business this morning, but luckily I made it in time." Qin Huaidao rushed over at a trot, panting, and there was already a layer of sweat on his forehead.

There was no way, Qin Qiong passed away the year before last. As the eldest son of the family, Qin Huaidao naturally had to carry the banner. He could no longer sit idle like Cheng Chumo and Fang Yiai all day long.

"Haha, Huaidao is here. I thought you couldn't come because you were busy with official duties." Wei Shuyu, Cheng Chumo, and Fang Yiai all chuckled. How could they blame Qin Huaidao? Without his father to rely on, he could only rely on himself.

"Now, the four young masters of Chang'an are here!"

Three sons of the prince and one prince walked side by side towards the center of Chang'an City.

Wei Shuyu and his party of four passed by the southwest corner of the city and saw an old man setting up a fortune-telling stall.

Wei Shuyu heard from his father that there was a fortune teller named Yuan in the south of the city, and he was very accurate in his calculations.

Wei Shuyu couldn't help but feel interested and walked towards the fortune-telling stall.

Cheng Chumo saw that Wei Shuyu was about to tell fortunes, so he couldn't help but urged: "Shuyu, do you still believe this?"

Wei Shuyu smiled mysteriously, "If you believe it, you have it, if you don't believe it, you don't have it. But whether you believe it or not, you must maintain a sense of awe."

Wei Shuyu's words reached the ears of the old fortune teller. His eyes couldn't help but light up slightly, and he said silently in his heart: "If you believe it, you will have it. If you don't believe it, you will have nothing. Stay in awe..."

Wei Shuyu approached the fortune-telling stall and joked with a smile: "The old man's surname is Yuan? But his name is Tiangang?"

"Huh? Does this layman know his nephew?" The old fortune-teller looked up and saw Wei Shuyu. He felt that the young man in front of him had an unusually strong literary and official spirit, and he probably had an unlimited future.

Wei Shuyu just asked casually, but he didn't expect that the old man in front of him was really a relative of Yuan Tiangang.

Yuan Tiangang is a strange person...

Wei Shuyu shook his head, "No, I just heard about it and asked casually."

"I heard that the old man's fortune-telling is very accurate. I wonder if it can be done until the boy comes here today to ask for his fortune?" Wei Shuyu continued to ask.

The old fortune teller smiled slightly and said, "Most people in the world come here to ask about their marriage and future, but you belong to the latter group."

Cheng Chumo stood aside and said loudly: "Does the old gentleman know what my brother's future is like?"

The old man surnamed Yuan stared at Wei Shuyu, then took out an old tortoise shell and several copper coins from his arms, and began to divine.

After a long time, the old man named Yuan said slowly:

"Isn't the golden scale a thing in the pond? It turns into a dragon when it encounters a storm. The dragon lurks in the wild... all it takes is an opportunity!"

The old man surnamed Yuan only pointed out that and did not say much.

Wei Shuyu was a little surprised in his heart, "As expected of Yuan Tiangang's relative, he has something!"

On the side, Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaidao, and Fang Yiai listened to the old fortune teller's words, with surprises on their faces, "Haha, what a golden scale, isn't it just a thing in the pond? You old man has a good eye!"

"Watch the reward!" The three brothers each took out a small golden bean from their arms and placed it on the fortune-telling stall to win a fortune for their brothers.

"Thank you." Wei Shuyu also put a small golden bean before turning and leaving.

Seeing Wei Shuyu leave, the old fortune teller nodded secretly, "Surrounded by literary aura, there is a faint purple aura between the eyebrows, our clan has another genius, it's not simple... Haha."

Just as Wei Shuyu turned around to leave, he bumped into a man in Chinese clothing.

Wei Shuyu and the man in rich clothes looked at each other, and both of them were momentarily absent-minded.

Wei Shuyu was a little surprised in his heart. He only felt that the man in front of him had an indescribable aura, which was extraordinary!

The man in fine clothes showed surprise in his eyes, "Huh? How come the human boy in front of me has such a strong sense of culture? It's very profound. If he hadn't known that he was from the human race, he would have thought that Lord Wenquxing had descended to earth."

Wei Shuyu and the man in rich clothes looked at each other briefly, then nodded and apologized to each other.

Wei Shuyu, Cheng Chumo and the other four people left. Around the corner, you could vaguely hear the man in rich clothes arguing with the old fortune teller, a little heatedly.

Wei Shuyu didn't hear clearly what was being argued, and then the man in fine clothes left angrily.

It is normal for there to be disputes about fortune-telling matters.

The four of them didn't pay attention and continued walking towards the center of Chang'an City.

In the middle of Chang'an City.

It's almost noon.

The whole city's people, traders, and walkers gathered together, bustling and bustling, staring at the imperial list above.

"Someone is coming to the palace, someone is coming to the palace."

"The list is about to be released, the list is about to be released!"

I don't know who shouted something, and there was a commotion immediately. Those who watched the excitement never thought it was a big deal.

The person who came to post the list was Li Shimin's personal guard, holding a piece of bright yellow imperial silk, and posted it on the notice column in the middle.

More than thirty names were engraved in red thread on the bright yellow satin.

"The pillar of the country! The pillar of the country!"

"Those who can fight all the way from all the prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty are definitely not ordinary people!"

"The future prosperity of the Tang Dynasty will depend on them!"

Suddenly, life is full of excitement, and the level of excitement is unprecedented.
To be continued...
