Chapter 156: Not Modest

"The teacher must be extremely happy right now. I'm afraid the threshold of Hongle Academy will be broken down by him in the future."

"They are just eight students. It shouldn't be like this." Jiang Chunbao's face turned cold.

"Song Jingyun is still the top candidate." Jiang Chunhe continued to be aggressive.

"I've already said that I haven't been to the academy for two months..."

"But you studied for several years and only took two months off, while Song Jingyun only studied for a few months and got the top score." Jiang Chunhe thought of Jiang Chunbao's words, "Tsk tsk, this person's brain is different from others."

Jiang Chunbao, "..."

His face turned purple, his teeth were clenched, and he could not utter anything.

This Jiang Chunhe doesn't look like a big brother at all! And this Song Jingyun is also very annoying!

"Stop arguing. Why are you arguing so much in the middle of the day? If you have the energy, go and do your work in the fields." Jiang Youcai was a little impatient when he saw the two brothers arguing here. "You two are all so useless. You just keep arguing at home. What a shame!"

Jiang Chunhe and Jiang Chunbao both curled their lips after hearing this.

After a long pause, Jiang Youcai continued, "It's been so many years, it's a pity to suddenly give up halfway. Second brother, you still have to continue reading this book, and eldest brother is not allowed to have any more opinions."

"But the second son has studied for so many years, but he still hasn't passed the exam. It's not reasonable. Give him another two years. If he still can't pass the exam in two years, he should stop studying in the academy and find a job as an accountant to support the family business."

When Jiang Chunbao heard that Jiang Youcai asked him to study, he was happy at first, but when he heard that he only had two years, his expression turned a little ugly.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Chunhe touched his nose and said, "Why, judging from your behavior, two years is not enough? Don't forget, Song Jingyun only studied for a few months and passed the exam."

No one will think you are dumb if you don’t speak!

Jiang Chunbao was so angry that he gnashed his teeth, but he didn't dare to show too much in front of Jiang Youcai. He just nodded and said, "I understand, Dad. I will study hard."

The words had been made clear, and Jiang Youcai didn't want to say more. He was also a little upset because Jiang Chunbao didn't pass the examination to become a student, so he just went back to his room with his hands behind his back and lay down for a while.

Zhang took Wu to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

For a moment, only the brothers Jiang Chunhe and Jiang Chunbao were left in the yard.

Jiang Chunbao felt depressed, and his eyes were like knives, cutting Jiang Chunhe fiercely.

Then he did not forget to give the third room a couple of cuts.

This damn Song Jingyun! Before Song Jingyun existed, he was one of the few scholars in the village. Everyone who saw him was respectful, and his family wanted to hold him in their hands.

But now, Song Jingyun has read books and has stolen all his limelight, even making people in his family dislike him.

If you think about it carefully, it was all caused by the son-in-law Song Jingyun!

But he was still so proud, showing off all the time, it was really annoying! If Song Jingyun was injured, he would not be able to take the exam in the future. After all, the imperial examination clearly stipulated that those with physical disabilities and obvious scars on their faces were not allowed to take the exam...

When this thought flashed through Jiang Chunbao's mind, he was shocked.

But he soon calmed down.

Actually, it's not impossible, it's just that he is not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, not that he is not allowed to live...

Jiang Chunhe wanted to ridicule Jiang Chunbao, but seeing Jiang Chunbao's eyes rolling around and glancing at the third room from time to time, he frowned and said, "You are not planning to take over the third room, are you?"

"I'm telling you in advance, these three parties are very evil. If you get involved with them, you'll be in trouble. Don't get close to them if you have nothing to do!"

When Zhang first said that the three parties were evil, Jiang Chunhe was still a little skeptical.

But first he could no longer hunt anything in the mountains, then he was hit by a roof, and Zhang fell into a pit again...

All these things happened because of the connection with the third room.

Recently, Jiang Chunhe has been avoiding the third room and didn't even dare to meet them. Since he is not as unlucky as before, it makes him more determined to do so.

Jiang Chunhe even thought that the reason why Jiang Chunbao broke his leg years ago was because Song Jingyun also went to study at Hongle Academy.

The third room is really evil and you really should not get involved with it.

Jiang Chunhe didn't want his whole family to suffer because of something Jiang Chunbao did.

"What are you talking about? I'm a scholar, how can I do dirty things?" Jiang Chunbao waved his hand disapprovingly and went into his room.

Then, the sound of reading aloud was heard, full of words that Jiang Chunhe could not understand.

Just pretend to study hard!

Jiang Chunhe gritted his teeth. -- Because eight students came out of their own academy at once, the corners of Meng Ziting and Zhang Wenbin's mouths almost stretched to their ears.

Especially when Mencius heard it, his eyes almost popped out of his head with joy all day long.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This has even happened frequently in recent days.

"Master Meng..."

"Yes, yes, our academy has eight students this year. Hey, how did you know that?"

“…”

“!!!!!!”

So, a few days later, when everyone saw Mencius again, they would directly greet him with "Oh, I heard that your academy has produced eight students this year."

Mencius was not modest when he heard this. He just nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes, yes, and I even got the first place!"

“!!!!!!”

A few days later, everyone's opening words changed to, "Master Meng, I heard that Hongle Academy had eight students pass the exam this year, and one of them won the first place in the provincial exam?"

"That's right." Meng Zi still nodded heavily after listening, "He has a bit of my style back then..."

“…”

Not modest! Zhang Wenbin was so disgusted that he didn't want to go out with Meng Ziting these days, for fear of being irritated by his shamelessness.

The provincial examination has been passed. Now it is May when the pomegranate flowers are in bloom. The academy examination will be held in August. The new students cannot relax at all, but need to work harder.

Mencius listened and worked more attentively in the lectures.

And the students are studying harder and harder.

Song Jingyun now spent an extra cup of tea reading than before.

However, because the daylight hours are longer now, the time until dark after finishing reading is actually longer.

During this period, Song Jingyun spent her free time with Jiang Mixia tending to the flowers and plants in the yard.

Originally, because Song Jingyun was studying, Jiang Mixia had not gone to the mountains to dig flowers and plants for a long time, and the number and variety of flowers and plants in the yard did not increase.
