Chapter 975 Shao Yunduan has no regrets
All the scholars were looking at him, either openly or secretly, but no one came forward to talk to him. At most, they just smiled at him slightly and nodded slightly from a distance.
He rejected the olive branch extended by the Tian family, which was almost equivalent to ending his official career. He would never have a chance to make a name for himself in his life, and no one was optimistic about him.
Moreover, at this juncture, anyone who takes the initiative to make friends with him would be tantamount to going against the Tian family. No one would be so bold as to joke about his own future.
At a time like this, it's already good enough not to add insult to injury.
Most people thought he was really stupid. Even if there were a few who secretly admired him, they felt that it was not worth it for him to do so.
It has become like this now. A top scholar should have been envied and admired by everyone, and should have been the center of attention. When he first appeared, countless people should have rushed up to greet him, and surrounded him, talking and laughing.
As a result, he was avoided by everyone, and even greeting him was taboo.
I don’t know how he feels at this moment, and I don’t know if he regrets it.
Shao Yunduan certainly had no regrets.
No matter how others treat him, he is still the top scorer of this year's exam. Standing here, he is still incomparable to others.
Shao Yunduan did not join in the fun with others. He found a place to sit down, drinking tea and waiting leisurely.
If you have no desires or demands in your heart, you will naturally have no worries or concerns.
Not long after, Lu Min and Gu Zhiyou came together. After they greeted their classmates with a smile, the two of them smiled and bowed to Shao Yunduan from a distance and sat down next to him.
"Brother Shao, this is really not kind. Why don't you wait for us to come together?"
"That's right. We went to Brother Shao's house and found out that Brother Shao had left the house first!"
Shao Yunduan bowed and smiled, "This is my fault. I will definitely treat you two to a meal and apologize to you two later!"
The three of them looked at each other and laughed.
“That’s a must!”
"We won't be polite to Brother Shao!"
The three of them talked and laughed, and then talked about other things.
Shao Yunduan did not invite the two of them to go with him because he naturally did not want to implicate or embarrass them. The two of them knew this very well, and what they had just said was equivalent to making their position clear.
Shao Yunduan was grateful in his heart, as it was not in vain that he knew them.
Lu Min and Gu Zhiyou really didn't take this seriously. They and Shao Yunduan came from the same place and had always been good friends. If the Tian family was petty and wanted to vent their anger on them, it would be useless even if they broke off ties with Shao Yunduan now.
If the Tian family were not so petty, they would not care at all whether they still had contact with Shao Yunduan or not.
After all, they were friends!
So, just be open and honest as usual to save yourself a lot of trouble and worry.
One after another, all the new scholars arrived. In sharp contrast to the treatment of Shao Yunduan, the top scorer, were the second and third place winners.
When the two entered, they received countless flattery and warm greetings.
It's a pity that both of them are over 40 years old, and the runner-up has more than half of his hair gray. His appearance is far inferior to Shao Yunduan. Even though he is surrounded and praised by everyone, he feels quite regretful in his heart.
Lord Tian and other dignitaries soon arrived, and all the new scholars held their breath and came forward respectfully to pay their respects.
More people's eyes fell on Shao Yunduan intentionally or unintentionally.
Shao Yunduan remained calm and bowed along with everyone else, without any discrimination.
