Chapter 447 Oncoming Silver
Shen Xia held the silver tightly in his hand, feeling its heavy texture, and couldn't help but weigh it.
Ten taels of silver at that time were not as heavy as one catty of silver today, but they were still heavy enough.
She muttered to herself: Well, this weight is just right.
On the other side, although Song Yun was riding on a horse and seemed to be avoiding the attack of the sachet, his eyes were always on Shen Xia.
When he saw her raise her hand, he couldn't help but smile, thinking that she was finally going to take action.
It seemed that she finally understood and was ready to throw the sachet.
However, at this moment, the smile that had just appeared on Song Yun's face froze instantly.
Because he was surprised to find that what was flying towards him was not a sachet, but a large ingot of silver!
This sudden change caught him off guard and his eyes widened.
After all, this is a lot of silver!
The people around cast concerned glances at him, thinking to themselves: Will this top scholar be hurt?
Song Yun reacted quickly and raised his hand nimbly to block the silver that was hitting his face.
His movements were smooth and natural.
Shen Xia stared at Song Yun nervously, and only when she saw him catch the silver steadily with her own eyes did she feel relieved.
She was worried that she would fail and what would happen if she didn't catch it properly.
After Song Yun took the silver, he slowly opened his palm, carefully looked at the large silver ingot in front of him, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
He secretly sighed in his heart: Only she can do such a thing.
The crowds on both sides of the street were mesmerized by Song Yun's smile that was as gentle as the breeze and bright as the moon, and their eyes were filled with tears.
It turns out that the top scholar likes money!
This news made everyone's eyes light up.
In this case, everyone changed their strategy and stopped throwing sachets and started throwing silver instead.
When had the soldiers who were guarding both sides of the street ever seen such a scene in their lives?
But I have to say, this kind of scene is really pleasing!
Although sachets look good, they cannot be eaten.
But silver is different, it can buy a lot of things!
Everyone was grateful to the first person who threw silver to the top scholar.
Song Jin looked at everything that was happening before his eyes and thought to himself that something was wrong.
It’s over. How do I pass it on to the fourth child now?
If such a distinguished top scholar bowed down for a mere ten taels of silver, wouldn't people laugh their heads off if this got out?
However, in fact, Song Yun only accepted the silver from Shen Xia and refused all gifts from others.
However, the guards on the side were not polite.
After all, how much is their monthly salary?
This situation is simply like pie falling from the sky. If you catch it, it can cover your living expenses for several years.
Looking at the silver thrown towards the middle, he quickly caught it with his hands, because it was his!
And those holding up the signs are the ones who regret it!
Since they could only receive the mail with one hand, they couldn't receive much, so the guards on both sides directly used their robes to receive the mail.
Unfortunately, it still hurts when the silver hits your body.
Shen Xia looked at this scene awkwardly, thinking that this was probably the first time in history that a number one scholar was injured by silver during a parade.
Although Song Yun was skilled in martial arts, the space he had to hide on horseback was limited, so he still got hit a few times.
However, this situation will once again become a hot topic in the capital!
Shen Xia looked at Song Jin awkwardly: "This?"
Song Jin smiled and pinched Shen Xia's face lightly: "When we go back later, you can explain it to the fourth brother yourself!"
Shen Xia muttered: "I didn't know there was a part where you could throw the sachet!"
Song Jin nodded: "Yes, it's the old man who didn't prepare with you, he deserves it."
Shen Xia looked at Song Jin's face: "Is that so?"
"Um,"
"Why do I feel like you are fooling me?"
Jixiang Ruyi next to them looked at each other and smiled.
In the young master's eyes, the lady is never wrong and is always right.
Song Jin looked at the team that was slowly passing by and said, "Let's go! Let's go back to the Princess's Mansion! After the top three of them have made a circle, the team will split into three teams and go home."
Shen Xia nodded: "Okay!"
Shen Xia followed Song Jin downstairs. After the team downstairs left, it was no longer crowded.
The people on the opposite side watched Shen Xia and Xu Xiner walk farther and farther away until they disappeared.
Xu Xiner turned to look at the girl beside her who was dressed in splendid clothes, and said with a smile: "Princess Xiyue, what do you think? I didn't lie to you, did I? Isn't this new champion handsome and elegant?"
Princess Xiyue had been paying attention to the situation ahead. His high-spirited and elegant appearance was deeply imprinted in her heart.
It's not like she had never seen handsome men before, but compared to the man before her, all those seemed insignificant.
At this moment, Princess Xiyue's face was slightly flushed and she was very shy.
When Xu Xiner saw the princess looking so amorous, she felt relieved.
In fact, this gathering was specially arranged by Xu Xiner, with the purpose of giving Princess Xiyue the opportunity to meet the talented and beautiful Song Yun.
Princess Xiyue readily agreed to Xu Xiner's proposal. After all, the two of them had a very good personal relationship.
But she thought Song Yun was a top scholar, so he would definitely be in the top three.
So she asked the princess to watch the parade of the top scholar here, and her main purpose was to hope that the princess would fall in love with Song Yun.
But I didn't expect that he would actually be at the top of the list.
Xu Xiner thought about the long half month she had spent in the Wucheng Prison. Although she was not treated badly there, prison had a bad reputation after all.
Therefore, her hatred for Shen Xia grew deeper.
She thought to herself, since she couldn't get it, Shen Xia couldn't get it either.
So what if Shen Xia is the Princess of Anping?
Today's eldest princess no longer has the power she once had. How can she be compared with the noble Princess Xiyue?
Even if Shen Xia wanted to compete, how could he win over the princess?
Besides, she was a peasant from the country, and was married off as a common wife.
Among the husbands, perhaps Song Yun is the only one who can show off his talents the most.
Although the man opposite was also handsome, he was definitely not as handsome as Song Yun.
She was about to let go of the one she loved most.
Only then can she relieve the resentment in her heart.
Although Xiyue liked the man, she couldn't help but become curious: "Then... is he married?"
Her eyes flashed with anticipation and nervousness, as if this question concerned her future destiny.
Xu Xiner shook her head to express her denial: "No, don't worry! Besides, there is also the Qionglin Banquet tonight! Besides, you are a princess, it is his blessing that you like him," she blinked and showed a sly smile.
"You can ask Concubine Yi to find out for you then! If he knew you liked him, he would burn incense and pray to Buddha. It would be a great honor for your ancestors."
When Princess Xiyue heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, isn’t there a banquet tonight?
How could I have forgotten about this?
Thinking of this, she decided to find an opportunity to talk to her mother and ask her to help find out about the man.
