No wonder everyone is amazed. In many places, as long as their children can get into college, no matter what the university is, they will hold a college banquet and invite relatives and friends over to celebrate.

If their children are admitted to 211 or even the more awesome 985, their parents will feel proud when they tell their relatives and friends, especially if they are favored by the two leading 985 universities in Qingbei, then the parents will feel proud.

I'm afraid the voice can be heard three miles away.

As for the provincial number one scholar, even the leading eldest brother like Qingbei is a talent that is eagerly sought after.

Although the modern top scorer in the college entrance examination is far from the top scorer in ancient times in terms of status, they can still be compared with the ancient top scorer.

Of course, because the ancient scientific examination is fundamentally different from the modern college entrance examination, and it also has the nature of the modern civil service examination, it is actually somewhat inappropriate to compare the ancient scientific examination with the modern college entrance examination.

But no matter what, those who can obtain the provincial top scorer status in the modern college entrance examination can basically be labeled with a "promising future".

If any family produces a provincial number one scholar, it is a matter of honor for the ancestors.

If the top scorer in the college entrance examination has a better appearance than a big star, the shock it will cause will definitely be unparalleled.

After all, society has been based on appearance since ancient times. In ancient times, officials were selected based on their appearance. Appearance has always been associated with being an official or becoming a noble.

The concept of "judging people by appearance" in selecting officials originally came from the Confucian emphasis on appearance and dignity, and there was a special "appearance" in etiquette. Later, as the monarch gained absolute power, his personal likes and dislikes were completely reflected in the selection of officials.

Sometimes, the development of handsome guys and ugly guys in official circles is very different.

Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty promoted Wang Jiong to an official position because of his good looks. Wang Jiong was an opera singer, known as "Qijun Wang Jialang", but his character was relatively poor and he didn't have much ink. Even so, Prime Minister Cai Que recommended him as a prisoner.

When he was serving as a supervisory official, Song Shenzong readily agreed as soon as he heard that he was "Wang Jialang".

Later, Emperor Zhezong succeeded to the throne, and Cai Que recommended an extremely talented and ugly man named Yuan Yingzhong.

Yuan Yingzhong not only has a pockmarked face, but also has sloping shoulders.

After Zhezong saw it, he "continually called him "big and ugly". Yuan was stunned and retreated without being able to explain. Look, the emperor has changed, but the standard of judging faces has not changed.

It was not the Song Dynasty that most "judged people by appearance". During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, appearance was particularly important when selecting officials. Appearance was often used to determine the number one candidate in the imperial examination. For example, when Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty met with Han Yong in Datong, he "enhanced his appearance and was retained as the right minister of the Ministry of War."

Shi Kui was arrested for offending his superiors and was taken to the capital. Seeing his extraordinary appearance, the Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty promoted him to the position of censor.

In the Tang Dynasty, the first condition for selecting officials was that they should be plump and tall.

Because of the ugly appearance of the poet Luo Yin, not to mention not being able to become an official, not many girls even liked him. Zheng Tian's daughter particularly liked Luo Yin's poems and swore not to marry anyone else. However, when they met later, she died in public. Zheng's daughter swore that she would never marry him.

Don’t chant Luo Yin’s poems.

When the Ministry of Personnel selects officials, there is a guidance document similar to a manual: the best official appearance is the face with the word "guo", which is majestic and upright, and has official authority; the second is the face with the word "eye", the facial features are elegant and handsome

, it is friendly, the worst is the "gold" shape, small at the top and big at the bottom. However, wearing a bird gauze hat can also hide the ugliness.

In the Qing Dynasty, "difficult households" who had participated in three joint examinations and still failed to win the imperial examination could participate in the official selection process called "big pick" and be given a chance to become an official. But there was a clear rule in it, "big pick"

Science, don’t try literature and art, just focus on looks.”

Various examples all illustrate the importance of appearance in ancient times.

In modern times, some people have even shouted the slogan that appearance is justice. Just look at those handsome little freshmen and you will understand that even if someone is imprisoned for attracting fans, there are still countless fans who are interceding for him.

There were even photos of a beautiful female prisoner being executed on the Internet, which aroused the sympathy of many people and felt that it was a pity that she died.

Like the fairy sister, she has maintained a high popularity for more than 20 years just because of her good looks, fairy spirit, and two or three works. Her blood is so thick that everyone is stunned.

It can be said that if it were other female celebrities with slightly inferior looks who had the same experience as the fairy sister, they would probably be out of date.

Therefore, Jiang Wenyan, who is both beautiful and talented, instantly became the focus of the entire carriage. All the students, parents and other passengers all expressed their sincere admiration.

A female classmate asked: "Classmate Jiang Wenyan, why didn't you accept a video interview? If your video interview had been on TV, you would have become famous all over the country by now!"

Jiang Wenyan smiled and said: "I don't want to become famous, and I hope people don't take pictures of me. Thank you!"

Those who took out their mobile phones to take secret videos were a little embarrassed when they heard this and hid their mobile phones silently.

Chen Yaohua, who was originally admitted to the Tokyo Metropolitan University of Technology, had some thoughts about this very good-looking female classmate that even a man would understand. After all, his university was considered a great university.

Unexpectedly, this female classmate is not only very good-looking, she is also the liberal arts champion in Guangxi Province this year, and she is the liberal arts champion with more than 700 points. She is also an awesome existence among the previous liberal arts champions.

For such a talented and beautiful female classmate, no matter how confident Chen Yaohua is, she would not dare to have unwanted thoughts about her, because it is bound to be fruitless.

Regardless of family background, based on her condition, it may be an exaggeration to say that all men in the world can choose her at will, but as long as she is interested in her, I am afraid that not many men can refuse such a woman with both talent and beauty.

A parent asked: "Jiang Wenyan, didn't your parents send you to register at school?"

Jiang Wenyan smiled politely and said: "My parents and my grandparents all wanted to send me to school to register, but I didn't want to cause trouble, so I refused!"

"That's awesome. It seems that Jiang Wenyan travels far away often, so your parents can rest assured that you can report to school alone."

"Well, my parents take me on trips every winter and summer vacation. This is not the first time I have been to the Imperial Capital, so my parents feel more at ease. Besides, they have also arranged for someone to pick me up in the Imperial Capital!"

When everyone heard this, they sighed again. Every winter and summer vacation, her parents take her out for travel, and they can arrange for someone to pick her up in the imperial capital. This is enough to prove that Jiang Wenyan's family background is very good.

She is talented, beautiful and has a good family background. God really loves her so much!

my country's high-speed rail was recognized as the number one in the world more than 20 years ago. Now, after more than 20 years of development, the speed in most parts of the country has exceeded 350 kilometers per hour, and the speed in some key areas is close to 500 kilometers per hour. kilometers, almost catching up with the speed of a small passenger plane.

Therefore, it only takes a few hours to reach the imperial capital from Guangxi Province by high-speed rail, which is very convenient and fast.

At 4:38 pm, Jiang Wenyan successfully arrived in the Imperial Capital.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Wenyan did not get on the Peking University school bus, but got into a Mercedes-Benz.

The driver was a professional driver, and sitting in the back with Jiang Wenyan was a beautiful girl one year older than her.

This beautiful girl's name is He Junyi. She is the fiancée of her brother Jiang Wenle and Jiang Wenyan's soon-to-be sister-in-law. This marriage was arranged by her father, a world-renowned matchmaker, and the girl's parents even approved of it with both hands.

It can be said that the two families have an established in-law relationship!

After the car started, Jiang Wenyan said jokingly: "Sister-in-law, today I will leave my 100 kilograms to you. You have to take good care of me!"

He Junyi smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. Let's go to XX restaurant for dinner first. After dinner, I will take you to XX place for a walk to eat. At nine o'clock in the evening, I will call some little sisters to come out and have fun together.

, I will go home and rest on time at 11 o'clock, and I will take you to report to school tomorrow, is this arrangement OK?"

Jiang Wenyan said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, this arrangement is okay, then just follow this process!"

He Junyi smiled and said: "As long as you are satisfied, I have received you now. Please call your uncle and aunt to report that you are safe!"

Jiang Wenyan responded, then took out her cell phone and called her father.

As soon as the call was connected, father Jiang Feng's magnetic voice came through, asking: "Daughter, have you arrived in the imperial capital?"

Jiang Wenyan smiled and said, "Yes, Dad, I just got into my sister-in-law's car."

He Junyi, who was sitting next to her, glared at her future sister-in-law. Although her marriage to Jiang Wenle was basically settled, she wasn't married yet. It was okay to call her sister-in-law in private, but she still felt a little uncomfortable when calling her sister-in-law in front of her elders.

Sorry.

"Well, it's good to be here..."

Jiang Feng explained a few words on the phone, then handed the phone to her mother and let them chat for a few words before hanging up the phone.

…

In Xipai Yujiang, the provincial capital of Guizhou Province, a long-established luxury community in Guizhou Province, Jiang Feng and his wife were having dinner with their bodyguards and nannies.

The nannies are still the same two nannies from more than 20 years ago. Although they are both married and have children, they have never left the Jiang family. They work here conscientiously helping the boss with cooking and cleaning. They have been working there for more than 20 years, eating and drinking.

The children who grew up cooking the food they cooked also regarded them as relatives.

As for the bodyguards, they have been changed. It is not that Jiang Feng, the boss, dislikes Guo Bingbing and Baili Wutong, the two bodyguards who have been with him for many years, nor is it that the two bodyguards are unwilling to serve the boss.

The main reason is that after they passed the age of forty-five, Guo Bingbing and Baili Wutong felt that their physical condition was far behind their peak. In order to avoid accidents that they could not handle, although they were reluctant to let go, they still reluctantly resigned.

.

Now Jiang Feng has not only hired two bodyguards, but eight bodyguards, all of whom are retired elites from a certain women's SWAT team, to protect himself and his family.

After all, the Jiang family now is no longer the Jiang family twenty years ago. Even if Jiang Feng has not deliberately made money in the past twenty years, his wealth has increased at an extremely fast rate.

Now, his net worth has exceeded 10 billion!

Of course, what makes Jiang Feng and his wife most proud is not having a net worth of tens of billions, but raising a pair of extremely outstanding children.

His son, Jiang Wenle, is even more handsome than his father, Jiang Feng. He was the science champion in Guangxi Province in 2043 and is currently studying at Oxford University in the UK.

Daughter Jiang Wenyan also looks better than her predecessor, and is three points prettier than her mother, Huang Lingwei. She is the top liberal arts scholar in Guangxi Province this year and a freshman at Peking University. She is both talented and beautiful.

The year before last, when Jiang Wenle became the top scorer in science in Guangxi Province, not only Jiang's father and Jiang's mother were so happy that they even said that their grandson would honor their ancestors, but even Grandma Jiang, who was in her eighties, was as happy as a child and specially burned three sticks of incense.

, saying that he wanted to tell Grandpa Jiang the good news.

Then, Jiang Feng, who had never hosted a banquet since his marriage, held a rare high-profile university banquet for his son. Because it was held in his hometown in the countryside, he only invited close relatives and friends.

As for the village, there is no need to say more, the whole village is invited.

Anyway, this banquet can be said to be the most popular university banquet in the history of Qinghe Town. Even the county leaders heard about it and came to participate. It has great influence.

After all, throughout the history of Qinghe Town, although some people were admitted to Qingbei University, no one in the college entrance examination could win the provincial top prize, let alone Qinghe Town. Even looking at the entire Bailiang County, no one could do it.

Jiang Wenle can be said to be the first provincial top scorer in the history of Bailiang County College Entrance Examination. There is no doubt about his great influence.

The only fly in the ointment is that Jiang Wenle did not study in a high school in Bailiang County or Yulin City, but in a high school in a provincial capital. Strictly speaking, this result should be considered a provincial capital.

However, the people in Qinghe Town and Longshan Village don't care about this. It is enough for them to know that the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination is from their town and their village.

Originally, the sensation caused by Jiang Wenle, the provincial champion, was big enough. Unexpectedly, two years later, his sister Jiang Wenyan also successfully won the provincial liberal arts champion.

It is unbelievable that the two brothers and sisters are both provincial champions. This kind of thing is probably the first of its kind in the whole country. This makes the people of Longshan Village very awesome.

Jiang Feng and Huang Lingwei, two parents, were the envy of countless parents, especially those close relatives and friends who called them one after another to ask for advice on how to teach their children.

After eating, Jiang Feng and Huang Lingwei sat on the balcony, watching the sunset over the river.

Huang Lingwei asked: "Husband, you have calculated your son's marriage long ago, but you have been putting off calculating your daughter's marriage. Now that she has become a college student, are you not going to calculate her marriage?

?”

Jiang Feng blinked and said, "It's a good thing to know about my son's marriage as early as possible. It's better to wait until she graduates from college to talk about my daughter's marriage. If I know about it too early, I'm afraid I'll feel uncomfortable."

Huang Lingwei laughed and said: "You, in the past twenty years, I don't know how many marriages have been arranged, and even some were arranged by baby relatives. Now it is your own daughter's turn, but you are reluctant to let her go!"

Jiang Feng chuckled, and Huang Lingwei also chatted with him about other topics heartily.

Although the couple has been married for more than 20 years, they still love each other as much as ever. They have endless things to say when they stay together every day. Their relationship is so good that their children are amazed by it.

This is the legendary fairy scroll couple!
