The second son of the Shen Mansion, Shen Yi'an, received a new gift of one thousand gold and was named Shen Taozhi. After Taozhi was born, Shen Yi'an successfully passed the palace examination, passed the imperial examination, and was awarded the imperial examination (from the seventh rank) by the Hanlin Academy. Because Taozhi was born prematurely and was weak, he was not liked by his biological mother.
