Chapter 222: Unpleasant
The next morning.
Before the Gu family left the house, Shen Changfeng came uninvited.
He knew that Gu Mingda was studying for the exam two days ago, so he didn't come to disturb him. But when he knew that today was the day when Baiyun Academy would announce the results, he came to join in the fun.
But when he learned that they had gone out yesterday to choose a location for the workshop, Shen Changfeng was so anxious that his hair was about to explode.
"Such an interesting thing, why didn't you call me? I have nothing to do at home!"
Niuniu handed him the packaged snacks first, and then said, "I'll remember that. I'll definitely call you to come with me next time I have something to do."
Shen Changfeng was originally a little anxious, but he was calmed down by the little girl's words. While eating snacks, he said, "Just call me if you have anything. What's our relationship? Don't be afraid to disturb me."
The carriage moved forward.
The results were announced today, and Gu Mingda did not accompany them, but Gu Yan looked normal at this moment, not at all nervous as before. However, he did not play with his sister, but was reciting in a low voice all the way.
Shen Changfeng couldn't help but feel scared when he saw him like this, and asked Niuniu in a low voice: "My dear, is your brother like this every day? He spends all his free time reciting books?"
He just felt that living like this was tiring.
Niuniu nodded and said, "My eldest brother is the most diligent and studious."
Shen Changfeng asked again: "Is this what your father asked your eldest brother to do?"
Niuniu shook her head and said, "Brother doesn't study for Daddy, he studies for himself. He never needs anyone to urge him."
Shen Changfeng admired Gu Yan even more, and said with emotion: "People like your elder brother are truly suitable for taking the imperial examination."
When the carriage arrived at Baiyun Town, Shen Changfeng had already eaten most of the bag of snacks.
He couldn't help but sigh: "My dear, why don't you eat a single bite? Your elder brother didn't eat either."
Niuniu replied: "Those are snacks for you. My bag is at home, and my two brothers have some too. You have so much that it's not enough for you to eat. We won't take your food away."
Shen Changfeng was puzzled: "We?"
Niuniu looked at him in surprise: "Brother Shen, aren't you going to share some with Sister Shen Ling?"
Shen Changfeng almost choked on the snacks when he heard this. He recalled that last time he took so much pork jerky from Niuniu, he seemed to have only given one piece to his mother and sister?
Thinking about it this way, it seems a bit stingy.
Shen Changfeng asked without shame: "Niuniu, when you eat snacks, do you always think about your family?"
Niuniu nodded and said, "Of course, if there is something delicious, I should share it with my family."
Shen Changfeng lowered his head and silently rewrapped the remaining half bag of snacks.
There are quite a few people outside Baiyun Academy today, all waiting for the results to be announced.
After the Gu family arrived, they waited for a cup of tea before the crowd suddenly became agitated.
Seeing that there were so many people, Gu Yan had no intention of squeezing forward. Instead, Shen Changfeng rushed in like a monkey.
When he came out, his hair was messy and his sleeve was torn, but he couldn't hide his excitement.
"He passed the exam! My junior brother is so awesome! He got third place!" Shen Changfeng said loudly.
When the other parents heard this, they all looked at him with envy.
At this moment, Gu Yan felt relieved.
Niuniu said like a little adult: "Look, brother, you are already very talented. The exam is not difficult for you at all! You study so hard. Daddy said that this is the result of long-term accumulation!"
Gu Yan smiled and patted his sister's head, then said to his mother: "I want to try next year."
In fact, Gu Yan could have taken part in the county examination a long time ago, but he was afraid of exams and never actually took the exam.
Now that her son is willing to take the first step, Zhang Yunniang nodded continuously: "Okay, as long as you figure it out."
She turned around again and quietly wiped away her tears.
After ensuring that Gu Yan got ashore, the group went to Doctor Yan's house.
Doctor Yan was now pointing at a young man who was slightly older than Gu Yan and cursing him.
The young man shrank his neck and didn't dare to talk back at all.
Doctor Yan stopped only when he saw the Gu family coming.
"Because Junior Brother Lang ranked last in the exam this time, Master is very angry." Gu Zhao said in a condescending manner.
The reason why Doctor Yan lived in Baiyun Town was actually to accompany his grandson Yan Lang to study. Yan Lang ranked last in the exam, so how could he not be angry?
Zhang Yuniang glared at Gu Zhao.
Gu Zhao stiffened his neck and said, "I am the disciple, Yan Lang is the grandson, no matter how you calculate it, he has to call me uncle."
Zhang Yunniang said unhappily, "Since your elder brother is from the same school as him, does he have to call you uncle as well?"
Gu Zhao nodded: "If you want to call me, I am willing to do so."
Zhang Yuniang knocked him on the forehead.
Gu Zhao covered his head and complained in a low voice: "Mom's temper is getting worse and worse now."
He turned to Niuniu and said, "My dear, come and call me uncle."
Seeing that Gu Zhao was drifting, Shen Changfeng picked him up and asked, "Should I also call you uncle, and let your parents call you brother, and your grandparents call you nephew, okay?"
Gu Zhao was dizzy from being shaken by him, and quickly begged for mercy: "I was wrong, brother, please stop making trouble."
After putting Gu Zhao down, Shen Changfeng advised Doctor Yan again: "Old Yan, don't be angry. Although I got the last place in the exam, at least I still stayed here. It's better than having no school to study at all."
Old Doctor Yan spit heavily and said, "What's good about that? He almost couldn't stay here. I don't know what he does every day! He has read so much that he has become a dog!"
Yan Lang lowered his head in shame.
Zhang Yunniang advised: "Doctor Yan, the child also needs to save face, you should stop talking. The child knows that he did not do well in the exam this time, and he will definitely strive to do well next time."
Doctor Yan sneered, "It would be great if you knew what shame was! If you feel like you can't read it, just stop reading it and follow me for medical consultations in the future!"
Yan Lang quickly said, "I want to study."
Doctor Yan scolded: "You want to study hard, but you get such bad grades!"
"The academy is full of outstanding students. I really can't compete with them."
Yan Lang still felt aggrieved. He thought he had worked hard enough, but he was still not as good as others.
Doctor Yan still looked disappointed. He turned to look at Gu Yan and asked Zhang Yuniang, "Did your eldest son pass the exam? What place did he get?"
"Third place." When Zhang Yunniang said this, she looked at Yan Lang cautiously, fearing that the child would feel upset.
When Doctor Yan heard this, his eyes turned green with envy.
"You should learn more from others in the future. If you embarrass me again, I won't forgive you!" Doctor Yan scolded.
Yan Lang responded sullenly with a gloomy face.
Dr. Yan also has his own things to do, so he leaves space for the Gu family who miss their children.
Gu Zhao got a big bag of snacks and was so happy that he almost jumped up.
Niuniu grabbed her brother and whispered, "Third brother, does Doctor Yan usually scold you?"
Gu Zhao casually replied, "Of course I curse. Master curses twice a day, and the curses he makes are much more unpleasant than when he talks to his nephew."
When Niu Niu thought about how if she was the one being scolded, she would be so sad that she wouldn't be able to eat.
"Are you feeling bad?"
But Gu Zhao was different. He was often scolded at home for being naughty. Now that someone else was scolding him, it made no difference.
"You can scold me if you want. It won't hurt you anyway."
Niu Niu felt relieved.
However, Yan Lang, who was standing by, was so confused when he heard this that his eyes almost overflowed with confusion.
"You got scolded, why can you act as if nothing happened?" Yan Lang couldn't believe it.
He had never seen such a slow-witted person!
