Chapter 1035: Everything is afraid of comparison
When this matter was settled, Niu became depressed and stayed at home for several days. Yan was secretly happy but did not dare to show it.
They tacitly did not tell Niu that Mei Qing was Yan's cousin, for fear that Niu would firmly refuse to object after knowing it.
As for whether Niu would know about it after Mei Qing got married, it wouldn’t matter.
At most she would be angry for two days.
Three days after Qiao Xuan, Shao Yunduan and their group left the village, news came back that Shao Liulang had passed the college entrance examination and became a scholar.
The third branch of the Shao family and Shao Liulang were naturally happy. However, Shao Yunduan, the top scholar, had just returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors and held a banquet to accept everyone's congratulations. Everyone had seen the top scholar, so their horizons were naturally higher. Although a scholar was also very remarkable, compared with the top scholar, there was a world of difference.
Therefore, this scholar named Shao Liulang hardly made any splash in the village.
So, everything is afraid of comparison!
Not to mention the villagers, even Ma, Uncle Shao Sanshu, and Shao Liulang themselves did not feel very happy.
If he had passed the imperial examination before, the whole family would be so happy, and Ma would have been so excited. But now, when she boasted to the villagers, they were very calm and would even say, "Your eldest son Wulang was the top scholar! It will be difficult for your sixth son to make a name for himself!"
Ma was almost mad to death!
Ma was so angry that she lost the mood to brag. She went home and complained angrily: "These people have such high standards that they don't even take the scholar seriously. Ha, don't they even check if there is a scholar in their family? They look down on others!"
He couldn't help but complain again, "The first wife is really abominable, they are everywhere! Any good thing turns into a bad thing when they run into it! It's really infuriating! Did Shao Yunduan do it on purpose? He came back to his hometown to worship his ancestors at this very moment, I think he planned to cause trouble for us and steal the limelight from our Liu Lang!"
Ma and Uncle Shao hoped that Shao Yunduan would fail the exam even more than Niu and his wife. When Shao Yunduan became the top scorer, they were extremely jealous.
Shao Yunduan returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and the two of them wished they didn't show up.
However, I didn't dare to be so disrespectful, otherwise I would be laughed at.
The Shao family's first wife's house is always crowded with people and receives countless gifts. It's heart-wrenching to see how glorious the Shao family's first wife is and how glorious Shao Yunduan is.
The same goes for Shao Liulang.
The more I look at it, the more upset I feel, but I can't avoid it and have to look at it.
The torment in my heart finally passed, and I finally passed the imperial examination. However, being compared to him like this by Shao Yunduan, I really can't be happy at all!
Hearing his mother's complaints, Shao Liulang's already unhappy mood became even more irritable, and his face immediately darkened, "Stop talking, why do you keep nagging them all day? Shao Yunduan can pass the imperial examination, so can I. He can pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, so can I!"
One day, he will surpass Shao Yunduan, come from behind and step on Shao Yunduan under his feet, and watch him kneel before him and beg for mercy.
Ma was cheered up after hearing this and said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, let's not talk about them! My Liu Lang is a man of real talent and knowledge, much better than Shao Yunduan who only relies on luck! Liu Lang, you should also pass the imperial examination and get a top scorer for me, so that they will be pissed off! I wonder who in the village dares to make sarcastic remarks!"
Shao Liulang's face turned dark. He glanced at Ma coldly, then went back to his room without saying a word.
Sisters, please give me monthly tickets!
