Yu Qizhe stood up, bowed, and left the hall slowly.

Yu Zhou looked at Yu Qizhe's back as he left, frowning slightly. She quietly nudged Yu Ruhai with her elbow and whispered in his ear, "Master, Fifth Brother's health has stopped him from taking the imperial examination. Master Mu's words of care have become empty words. Jinyan and Jinshu will take the exam this year, so you should take care of them."

Yu Ruhai thought it made sense, and said to Mu Yan with a thick face, "Second Master Mu, my fifth brother is in poor health and may never have the chance to take the imperial examination. Fortunately, my second and fourth brothers are also studying. I hope the Mu family can take care of him in the autumn examination."

Mu Yan's smile did not reach his eyes, and he responded easily, "Oh? So the family of old doctor Yu are all knowledgeable people. Your Erlang and Silang have passed the Tongsheng exam?"

Yu Ruhai's face was somewhat dull. Yu Jinyan and Yu Jinshu were not as smart as his fifth brother, and they had not passed the Tongsheng exam yet. He said helplessly, "It's really embarrassing. Although Jinshu and Jinyan studied very hard, they both failed the Tongsheng exam. Fortunately, Jinyan has been admitted to the county school and can participate in this autumn exam. I am planning to send Jinshu to the county school as well."

Zhang, who had been silent all the time, became annoyed after hearing what Grandpa Yu said. Thinking of the words she heard outside the third room that day, she felt like she had a breath stuck in her heart, unable to let it go. As there were outsiders present, she couldn't get angry, so she just hit Yu Qiaoshan hard with her elbow and glared at him.

Yu Qiaoshan stood aside in a depressed mood. He originally did not believe what his wife said that day. He never thought that his parents could be so partial to them.

"Old Doctor Yu is very generous. He really values ​​reading and is willing to spend money on it." Mu Yan smiled. There was no sarcasm in his tone, but the implication of his words was indeed that.

How could Yu Ruhai not hear it? However, he wanted to curry favor with Mu Yan, so he could only smile and say, "As a parent, we all hope that our children and grandchildren will become successful. I am helpless. I hope that Master Mu can take care of my two useless grandchildren."

Mu Yan nodded, "Indeed." He seemed to agree with Yu Ruhai's words, but he didn't respond at all. He turned his head to look at the sun outside the house, stood up and said, "It's noon without me noticing. I have bothered you for a long time today, so I won't bother you any more."

Yu Ruhai originally thought that Mu Yan would stay for lunch, but he didn't expect that he would leave when he mentioned the matter of Jin Shu and Jin Yan's autumn examination. He hurriedly spoke to persuade him to stay, "It's already this late. If the second master Mu leaves, wouldn't it be unfair to our Yu family to treat our distinguished guest poorly? Why don't you stay for lunch before leaving?"

Mu Heng waved his hand, "No, my wife is still waiting at home. If I don't go back, she won't be able to eat in peace. Doctor Yu, you don't have to be polite. Wu Lang's wife is an excellent doctor. I will inevitably come to bother you in the future."

Having said that, Yu Ruhai couldn't force him to stay, so he had to stand up.

The servant of the Mu family quickly followed Mu Heng and walked out the door.

After sending Mu Yan away, Song went to the kitchen to light a fire and cook. Zhang did not go to help, but dragged Yu Qiaoshan to the main room.

Yu Qiaoshan wanted to persuade his wife, but Zhang had endured it to the end and was not willing to listen. She felt really aggrieved. They were all grandsons, so why should all the good things in the family fall on the third wife's child?

"Dad, I didn't say a word when you sent Jinyan to the county school. But now you want to send Jinshu to the county school again. I want to ask you, Zhizhou has also been studying for these years, shouldn't you send him to the county school as well?" Zhang had already made up her mind. She stood in the middle of the main hall, looking at Yu Ruhai and Yu Zhou, and asked.
