Chapter 32 This is all a tactic to paralyze Shen Shilang

Shen Shilang smiled and walked towards Shopkeeper Yue.

Madam Wei and Wei Ruyan also heard Shopkeeper Yue's voice and turned to look over.

Wei Ruyan said unhappily: "Then Shopkeeper Yue is really good to Shen Shilang."

"He is just trying to please your father. Don't pay any attention to him. He won't be able to stay in the mansion for long." Mrs. Wei said coldly.

At this time, Wei Jianming also came over, "Mom, sister."

Madam Wei looked at Wei Jianming carefully, touched his slightly pale face and said, "You have lost weight. You must have suffered a lot in there. Let's go back. Mother has prepared some supplements for you. Go back and have a good rest to replenish your body."

"Okay." Wei Jianming nodded happily.

The three of them got in the car, and Wei Ruyan immediately asked, "Second brother, how did you do in the exam?"

"I did well in the exam, don't worry. Even if I'm not the champion, my ranking won't be low." Wei Jianming looked proud and confident, "It's no problem to surpass that loser Shen Shilang."

"Is this true?" Wei Ruyan was a little unconvinced. "Then why did you not answer well when your father tested your knowledge?"

Wei Jianming curled his lips and said, "This is all a tactic to paralyze Shen Shilang."

Wei Jianming wanted to open the folding fan, but when he reached for his waist and felt nothing, he remembered that he was not allowed to bring these things to the exam. He could only let go of it in disappointment and said, "Father always asks Shen Shilang to come along for the exam every time. What if I perform too well and Shen Shilang knows the gap between him and me, and secretly works hard, and he really passes the exam? What if I do too well and Shen Shilang knows the gap between him and me, and secretly works hard, and he really passes the exam?"

"So I pretended to be doing just fine, just like him." Wei Jianming said proudly, "This way he thought I was about the same as him, so he wouldn't work hard. And I hid my strength and worked hard secretly, so I was naturally stronger than him."

"Otherwise, how could I, your second brother, be so confident that I could score better than him?" Wei Jianming shook his head proudly, "This is called showing weakness to the enemy, it's all a tactic."

Wei Ruyan was surprised and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a brain."

"How can you talk like that!" Wei Jianming slapped Wei Ruyan on the head in annoyance, "From now on, you have to call me, your second brother, Juren Master! You have to be polite to me!"

Wei Ruyan covered her forehead and said to Madam Wei in dissatisfaction: "Mother, look at my second brother!"

"Alright, alright." Mrs. Wei tried to smooth things over. "It's a good thing that your second brother was admitted. Stop making a fuss."

Here, Shen Shilang walked over to Shopkeeper Yue and said, "Shopkeeper Yue, I didn't expect you to come."

"After you finish your exam, I will definitely come to pick you up." Shopkeeper Yue said with a smile, "You must have worked hard in here, come and get in the car and have a rest."

Shen Shilang got into the car and saw that Manager Yue had already prepared tea and snacks in the car.

"Manager Yue is so thoughtful."

Shopkeeper Yue said with a smile, "I thought that you didn't eat or drink well in there, and you must be very hungry when you come out, so I prepared some snacks. The mansion also prepared a table of meals, so you can have a good meal, and then have a good rest to recuperate."

"But I think you are in good spirits, young master?" Shopkeeper Yue asked in surprise.

"I practice martial arts every day, so my health is better than that of ordinary scholars." Shen Shilang explained. He couldn't say that he had Su Jinshi's food and drink in there, "and there are things prepared by Shopkeeper Yue, especially the cool mat and the medicated oil for repelling mosquitoes, which are very effective. I have never been bothered by mosquitoes at night. Thank you, Shopkeeper Yue."

"No, no." Shopkeeper Yue said with a smile, "It's all because of Mr. Shen's good physical fitness. No wonder I saw the candidates who just came out looked listless. Mr. Shen is completely different from them."

The way back was as crowded as the way here.

They were all families who came to pick up their own candidates and take them home. There were horse-drawn carriages one after another and pedestrians shoulder to shoulder.

But Shen Shilang really didn't want to go back.

Although I'm in good spirits, I've been taking exams for three days and my brain is exhausted. I just want to close my eyes and rest.

Then let the carriage move slowly.

Su Jinshi didn't ask Shen Shilang how he did in the exam. Anyway, Shen Shilang would not do badly.

It depends on which place you are in front of.

Wei Jianming returned home, ate something and fell asleep.

The next day, I slept until noon.

"Sir." Wei Jianming was being helped by a maid to wash and change clothes. The servant Chang Jie beside him came over and handed Wei Jianming a note. "It was sent by Sir Liang to send you a note, asking if you rested well. If you did, they will hold a banquet at Huizhen Tower tonight to celebrate for you."

Wei Jianming stretched lazily and said, "Okay, go back and tell them I'll be there in the evening."

"Yes." Chang Jie responded and went to reply.

The city of Chong'an is very lively at night.

The streets are filled with the cries of vendors, and people are strolling slowly in the middle of the road.

The aroma of the steaming mutton pot wafted from the vendor's pot.

The restaurants on both sides are brightly lit.

The girls from Cuiyun Tower stood at the door, welcoming and seeing off guests with a scent of powder and makeup.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

When Wei Jianming passed by the building, he was caught by the girl from Cuiyun Building, "Master Wei."

"Go away!" Wei Jianming waved his hand and pulled his arm away.

Although he was a playboy, he dared not hang out in brothels, otherwise his father and elder brother would break his legs.

The girl wanted to grab him again but was stopped by Chang Jie. After Wei Jianming walked a few steps away, Chang Jie broke free and hurriedly chased after him.

The two arrived at Huizhen Tower, and the waiter took Wei Jianming to the private room upstairs that Liang Shigang had booked.

The private room is very large, with a large round table inside and a table and couch for resting next to it.

The windows were open and I could see the many lights in the city.

"Jianming!" Liang Shigang called to Wei Jianming, "Come and sit down."

In addition to Liang Shigang, there were three others, all of whom were children of officials in Chong'an City.

"How was it? How did you do in the exam?" Liang Shigang asked.

Cheng Jianfeng at the side shook his head and said, "If I'm lucky this time, I might be able to pass the exam, but I can't get a high ranking."

"You're fine. I'm afraid I'll fail again this time." Ke Hongbin took a sip of wine, feeling extremely worried. "I've failed twice. If I fail again this time, my old man will definitely beat me up. He also said that if I fail this time, he will send me to the army to fight for honor on the battlefield."

"But I'm not cut out for that!" Ke Hongbin held his head in his hands in worry, "I don't want to lose my life before I achieve fame and success."

Cheng Jianfeng shook his head. "Everyone has their own difficulties. Even if I pass the exam, my father won't be satisfied."

Cheng Jianfeng is the son of Prefect Cheng and the brother of Cheng Ruoyu.

"If the ranking is low, people will also talk about it." Cheng Jianfeng also took a sip of wine in distress.

"Being natural is still the happiest thing. You don't have to take part in scientific examinations." Ke Hongbin said enviously.

Zhang Tianran is the youngest in the family and has been favored since childhood. In the future, when his elder brother inherits the title, he will raise Zhang Tianran in the mansion.
