Shen Yuhan spent two years gradually integrating into modern society, studying the contents of several major subjects.
He and Shan Qihuan made a calculation and decided that he couldn’t afford to waste his short life, since he wanted to live with his husband, he had to continue to work hard to keep up with Shan Qihuan’s knowledge.
Today is a very important day for Shen Yuhan after he came to the modern era, because he is going to take the examination.
In the Qi Kingdom, he was a ger and never had the chance to touch the imperial examination, he never had that kind of intense experience.
He has a very high level of qin skills, but modern people all have academic qualifications, Shen Yuhan also wanted to experience university life, at the suggestion of Shan Qihuan and Wen Yan, it is not a problem for him to study in the direction of guqin, moreover, the National Archaeological Institute specially issued a certificate for him, giving him the opportunity to apply for the Capital Conservatory of Music.
The Capital Conservatory of Music learned that he was coming, and directly sent him an admission notice, however, Shen Yuhan still wanted to verify the knowledge he had learned so far, he also wanted to take the exam like other students, and wanted to know how much he could get in the cultural subjects.
Cultural subjects to be examined are Chinese, Mathematics, and English, he should have no problem with Chinese and English, but he may be relatively poor in mathematics, while others have studied for more than ten years, he has only studied for two years, it is impossible to get high scores simply by himself, of course, his math teacher gave him the questions, and he has a very good memory, if he gets all the questions right, he should be able to score high in the exam.
Everything was just speculation, but at this moment, Shen Yuhang had been experiencing a sense of tension since the morning.
It wasn’t the tension that came from within him, but from his husband!
His exam was scheduled for ten o’clock in the morning, Shan Qihuan got up even earlier than him and personally went to the kitchen to tell the auntie not to make congee and other such items for breakfast.
Seeing that Shan Qihuan was more nervous than himself, Shen Yuhan actually became less nervous.
In addition to breakfast, Shan Qihuan asked the drivers to plan the route in advance, and they also set off early, they must not be late.
When Shan Qihuan sent Shen Yuhan to the examination room, there was still half an hour before the examination started.
At this time, there were already many parents sending their students to the examination venue, and Shen Yuhan had to enter the examination room to take the exam.
After he had gotten his examination card, Shan Qihuan brought him here to see the examination center once, so he didn’t have to worry about not being able to find the location today.
Before Shen Yuhan got out of the car, Shan Qihuan checked his examination card, water, 2B pencil, and water-based pen again.
The college entrance examination is a very distant thing for Shan Qihuan, he also quietly consulted his nephew, who took the college entrance examination last year, for advice.
“Have you brought everything?”
“It’s all there, Husband, you’ve checked it several times.” Moreover, this was only after getting in the car, and after setting off, he also checked his small bag containing the stationery.
“Isn’t this to make sure you don’t make any mistakes.” Shan Qihuan zipped up the small green bag and personally escorted Shen Yuhan to the entrance of the school.
“Then I’m going in.” With his husband being nervous for him, Shen Yuhan was now more relaxed than anyone else, and he even took the initiative to comfort his husband, whose facial expression had stiffened, “Husband, don’t be nervous, it’s just Chinese, I can do it.”
“Okay, if you don’t know what to write, feel free to write something, don’t leave any blanks, you must read the requirements clearly before writing, do you understand?”
Shen Yuhan nodded: “I understand.”
Shan Qihuan also did not continue to urge him, fearing that it would delay his entry into the examination room.
Watching Shen Yuhan go to the examination room alone, Shan Qihuan had an inexplicable illusion that his family had a child growing up and that his wife was already different from the past.
At this time, Shen Yuhan started to get a little nervous after leaving Shan Qihuan, he was surrounded by strangers he didn’t know, moreover, all of them were young students, everyone’s expression was tense, and there weren’t many of them who were chatting and laughing1談笑風生 (tán xiào fēng shēng): to talk in a jovial mood; to talk cheerfully and wittily; to joke together; talk and laugh cheerfully/merrily..
He didn’t know anyone, so he followed his number and found a seat before sitting down.
There were thirty people in the examination room, and his position was relatively far back, he wore a mask and did not attract attention2引人注目 (yǐn rén zhù mù): to attract attention; eye-catching; to draw attention; to catch people’s eyes; to stand out; to be conspicuous; attract the gaze of people; catch sb’s attention; describe people or things that are very distinctive and attract people’s attention..
The bell rang, and the teacher began to open the papers, when the time came, he began to hand out the papers.
Shen Yuhan looked at it and felt novel, his modern teacher also simulated for him everything from entering the examination room to the beginning of the college entrance examination, however, he had learned it all at home, which made him feel nothing new about it, but now, sitting in the same examination room with twenty-nine other people, he could feel the real atmosphere of the college entrance examination.
It looks interesting.
–
The examination has begun.
Shen Yuhan quickly calmed down and started answering the questions according to his teacher’s advice.
He reads the questions very quickly, and his writing speed is not slow either, there is no difficulty in answering each question, and he finishes it quickly, his weakness is reading comprehension, this is probably because he comes from ancient times, and his thinking is always different from that of modern people, just now his husband said, it doesn’t matter if it is correct or not, just fill in the blank space.
As for the composition, he wrote more than 800 words eloquently, the teacher said as long as it didn’t deviate from the topic, it would be fine.
After Shen Yuhan finished writing the composition, he looked at the time, and then checked his answers and the paper, after making sure that nothing was missing, he handed in the paper fifteen minutes early.
No one was outside the school corridor, so Shen Yuhan enjoyed the high school scenery as he walked.
He was not the first one out of the school gate, but he attracted attention all the same, there were many parents of students standing outside, all eagerly waiting for their children to come out, and then take them out for lunch.
Similarly, Shan Qihuan, who became one of the ‘parents’ who sent candidates here for the exam today, was also standing in the crowd, his appearance was too outstanding, just like a crane in a flock of chicken3鶴立雞群 (hè lì jī qún): a crane in a flock of chicken (idiom); way above the common; a crane standing in a flock of chickens; an outstanding person in a group of common people; (of a person) be like a crane standing among chickens—stand head and shoulders above others; be the pick/best of the bunch/basket; be a giant among dwarfs., Shen Yuhan saw him as soon as he came out.
There were also many people standing around him, a grandmother in her sixties was recommending her unmarried niece to him, Shan Qihuan politely didn’t drive the person away, but just coldly ignored the other party.
Fortunately, one of the mothers said: “There’s a child coming out.”
Shan Qihuan knew who it was when he saw the figure approaching from a distance, and he immediately stepped forward to meet him.
When Shen Yuhan saw him, he happily threw himself into his arms: “I’ve finished the exam.”
“Is it difficult?” Shan Qihuan hugged him and led him out of the crowd.
Shen Yuhan’s long hair was too eye-catching, and because he was wearing a mask, many people thought he was a girl, and assumed that Shan Qihuan was the examinee’s brother or something like that.
“It’s not too difficult, I filled up the paper.” Shen Yuhan told Shan Qihuan one by one, calming him down as he was even more nervous than he was.
Shan Qihuan did relax a lot after hearing this, and since he had to take an English test in the afternoon, he immediately took Shen Yuhan to a nearby restaurant for a meal and then took him to take a lunch break.
Since Shen Yuhan was not nervous at all, he coaxed Shan Qihuan to bed and let him take a nap instead.
In the past two years, under the leadership of Shan Qihuan, Shan Group’s performance has hit new highs, although the person are not as busy as it was at the beginning, there are still busy times occasionally, during this period of time, he was very busy, and he was also nervous about his exams, Shen Yuhan felt tired just looking at him, and also feeling distressed.
–
When Shan Qihuan woke up in the hotel bed, he found that no one was around him, the bodyguards waiting at the door said that they had escorted the boss’s wife to the examination venue, Shan Qihuan could only laugh in a low voice, his wife’s concern for him was always silent and gentle, he would not deliberately express concern with words, he often found out later that his wife was thinking about him again.
After he freshened up, he went to wait for Shen Yuhan outside the examination venue, perhaps because he had a peaceful nap, but Shan Qihuan was not too nervous, instead, he sat in a traditional tong sui store across the school and waited.
Unexpectedly, he also met a colleague, who also sent his own children to take the college entrance examination, and was also nervous.
Originally, they were still business competitors, but after talking about their own examinees, they didn’t feel any tension, usually, the competition between the two families was quite fierce, but now they are just parents.
For three days in a row, Shan Qihuan accompanied Shen Yuhan to the exam and forged a friendship with his colleague’s parents, and both of them even agreed to play ball together when they had time.
After the final comprehensive examination, Shan Qihuan finally relaxed, while Shen Yuhan was happy to see him relieved.
It turns out that this is what parents who take the college entrance examination look like.
After finishing the college entrance examination, they have to wait for the results.
On the day the results were announced, Shen Yuhan was not in a hurry to check his scores, but Shan Qihuan nervously typed in his examination card on the computer.
While he was waiting to enter the results column, he even put his hands together and prayed that Shen Yuhan would do well in the exam.
The results came out.
Shan Qihuan and Shen Yuhan looked at the scores and were very surprised, this score: “…”
Shen Yuhan doesn’t have a strong concept of grades, he only knows that the full score is 750 points, He knows that students who take the college entrance examination study hard and review papers day and night4沒日沒夜 (méi rì méi yè): day and night (doing a task); lit. there is no day or night; regardless of the time of day or night; (work) day and night/night and day; there is no distinction between day and night., and his current grades should be considered average, after all, there are too many outstanding students in modern times.
“Did I not do well on the exam?” Shen Yuhan saw that his husband didn’t speak for a long time, just looking at the report card on the computer screen blankly, he was a bit distressed, it seemed that he still studied too poorly.
After Shan Qihuan was stunned for a long time, he suddenly picked up Shen Yuhan and said: “Baby, you got a perfect score in Chinese!”
Shen Yuhan was spun around twice, and felt a little dizzy, he patted Shan Qihuan on the shoulder: “I know, I know, put me down quickly! I’m dizzy!”
Shan Qihuan was more excited and happier than Shen Yuhan, he did not waste the past two years in vain.
His wife is not an ordinary genius, other people study for more than ten years, and may not be able to get this score, if it wasn’t for his identity as a ger, according to the normal way of growing up as a boy, it would really be possible for him to became the top scorer.
With this score, he can be admitted to the Capital Conservatory of Music by himself.
After the college entrance examination results are announced, the official will announce the full mark essay.
Because his wife got perfect marks on the Chinese language test, and he had nowhere to show off, Shan Qihuan felt quite uncomfortable.
It wasn’t until he took a break at work to browse Weibo that he came across a trending post about a full-mark essay, not only was the handwriting neat, almost like it was printed, but the entire essay was written in classical Chinese style, citing classics and references, it was probably something that not even a university professor of classical Chinese could have written.
For a while, Weibo was forwarding this essay, it was definitely a talent!
Shan Qihuan also read this post, he thought the handwriting looked familiar, so he forwarded the picture to Shen Yuhan, wondering if it was his wife’s composition.
Mu Gen: This handwriting looks a bit like yours?
Wife: This is the composition I wrote, Husband, where did you see it?
Mu Gen: Hot search.
After getting the exact answer, Shan Qihuan covered his chest and reposted this full-mark essay on Weibo in seconds.
【What a genius. [sigh]】
– Chief Shan, why don’t you post photos of your wife lately, I miss him!
– Children these days are so awesome!
– Does Chief Shan understand?
– Upstairs, Chief Shan is the top scorer in a certain college entrance examination in our school!
– Hey, Chief Shan finally stopped showing off his wife today?
The top scorer in a certain college entrance exam hummed in his mind: How do you know I didn’t show off my wife today?
The author has something to say:
Shen Yuhan: Hanhan and his husband wish the students who are about to take the college entrance examination success5金榜題名 (jīn bǎng tí míng): to be admitted in the imperial examination; to win top marks in the imperial examinations; succeed in an examination; one’s name was on the list of successful candidates―emerge successful from a competitive examination; the original meaning of this idiom refers to the candidates who passed the Jinshi examination in the imperial examination era and topped the admission list of the imperial examination. Later, it generally refers to being admitted.!

I’m not too sure why SQH didn’t want SYH to eat congee for breakfast, but it could be due to a cultural belief that certain foods may affect one’s luck or performance on significant occasions. I only knew that in olden times, congee was associated with poverty as it was typically all that the poor could afford. Thus, eating congee on Chinese New Year’s morning could invite bad luck related to wealth and finances, and that’s something no one wants to risk.
