An hour later, at the time of Si, Xiao Lingyu could no longer resist the four children acting coquettishly in front of her, and rushed to Mo Garden early.
"Mom, there are many brothers and uncles carrying school bags on the street today."
"Sister, they are the same scholar as Uncle Huaiyuan. They are coming to Huayang County to participate in the provincial examination in a few days." Su Ningwen, wearing a monkey face mask, leaned most of his body out of the carriage.
Xiao Lingyu quickly pulled the two back into the carriage, lifted a corner of her veil, and looked at the students outside.
No wonder Xiao Xier calls them brother or uncle.
The young students looked to be between thirteen and fifteen years old, and the older students looked much older than Wu Huaiyuan, almost thirty years old.
The carriage passed by the Qingyun Inn. Su Xingyi saw Wu Huaiyuan enter the inn from a distance and immediately got off the carriage. "Xiao Yu, take the children to Mo Garden first. I'll go pack lunch for you."
"My elder sister has already arranged that someone will deliver lunch to Mo Garden at noon." Su Ningjie hurriedly stopped him.
"I just saw your uncle Huaiyuan. I happened to need to talk to him about something. You guys go to Mo Garden first. I'll rush over to have lunch with you at noon."
"Then call Uncle Huaiyuan along..."
"Brother Jie!" Xiao Lingyu pulled Su Ningjie in front of him, "Your uncle Huaiyuan is in no mood to play around right now. The provincial examination is coming up in a few days, so it's important for him to review his studies now."
"Oh, mother, I understand."
Xiao Lingyu looked at Su Xingyi outside the car window and said, "Go find Wu Huaiyuan first. Bring us some lotus cakes when you come."
"good."
After the carriage drove away, Su Xingyi took Su Yun into the Qingyun Inn...
"Brother, do you think Uncle Huaiyuan will be able to pass the exam this time?"
Su Ning'an shook his head. "I don't know. I'll leave it to fate! Whether he passes the exam or not is none of our business. I only care about whether my third brother can easily pass the exam and become a juren in the future."
"Third brother, I have a feeling that you can pass the imperial examination in one try."
"Big brother, I think so too. Third brother can easily pass the imperial examination."
After he finished speaking, the people in the carriage looked at Su Ningwen with burning eyes.
"It's so hot! So hot!" Su Ningwen's face turned red when he was stared at by them, and he quickly took off the monkey-faced mask on his face.
"Don't say that. I'm under a lot of pressure. I just read fast and remember well. If I fail the exam in the future, I will be embarrassed."
"Hahaha……"
Su Ning'an looked at Su Ningwen's red face and laughed out loud.
"We won't tell anyone else. If you don't pass the exam, your parents and your brothers and sisters won't laugh at you."
"Third brother, don't listen to your eldest brother. You will definitely pass the exam. You need to be more confident. The four of us are different."
"Hanyu! Are you in the carriage?"
When Su Ningwen heard the voice, he quickly put on the mask, and Xiao Lingyu also lowered the veil.
Su Ningjie leaned out of the carriage and looked at Meng Yunqian in the carriage behind.
"I am here!"
After a breath, the Meng family's carriage and the Lu family's carriage were driving side by side on the wide stone road.
"Brother Hanyu, where are you going?"
"Let's go to Moyuan Lake for a cruise!"
"Dad, Second Uncle, shall we go to Mo Garden too?"
Meng Zilu: "Second brother, are you going?"
Meng Zihe glanced sideways at Su Ningjie in the carriage opposite. It turned out that he was the one who had resolved the Meng family's reputation crisis twice. He smiled and nodded, "Then go."
When Su Ningjie saw Meng Zihe's face clearly, his eyes lit up.
He and his elder brother have very similar facial features, and it's obvious that they were born from the same mother.
Oh! He is so stupid!
Why didn't he realize that the four brothers and sisters didn't look alike?
Su Ningjie sighed inwardly for a moment, sat back in the car, and moved closer to Su Ningwen.
"Third brother, Meng Zihe, who annotated the Analects, is not studying at home but is out for fun with Meng Yunqian and the others. It seems he is truly knowledgeable. Let my eldest brother-in-law introduce him to you today. You now have someone to ask about words you don't understand."
When Su Ningwen looked over, he only saw the back of Meng Yunqian's head.
"Then we really need to get to know each other better!"
Mo Garden is similar to tourist attractions in later generations. After passing through the bamboo forest and the painting garden, you will see the endless blue lake in front of you.
There were three beautiful painted boats floating on the lake, and the sound of the piano coming from the lake drowned out the laughter on the boats.
There are eight viewing teahouses on the east side of Bi Bo Lake. Xiao Lingyu quickly noticed the tallest teahouse and quickly arranged for Su Ying to book a room upstairs.
"Xiao Yu, come with us quickly. The largest and most magnificent painted boat over there belongs to our Lu family."
Lu Yuan took Lu Yao, Xiao Lingyu, Xiao Xier, Nan Xiang, Mo Shu and others and headed towards the Lu family's painted boat first.
Lu Yao looked back at Meng Zihe as she left.
She doesn't know why either?
Just want to take a few more glances!
"Zihe, let me introduce you." Si Chuyu pulled Su Ningjie in front of Meng Zihe, "This is the young master of the Lu family's eldest house, Lu Hanyu, also known as Su Ningjie. This is his eldest brother Su Ning'an, and this is his third brother Su Ningwen."
"Hello, Second Uncle!"
The three brothers bowed to Meng Zihe in unison.
Meng Zihe found it a bit strange, and after a moment's hesitation, he smiled and helped the three brothers up. "Children, no need to be polite. Second Uncle doesn't know anything at the moment, but he's good at studying. If you encounter any difficulties in your studies in the future, you can come and ask Second Uncle."
Su Ningjie said hurriedly, "Uncle, this is my third brother, who is the same age as Yunqian. Yunqian is only about an hour older than him. My third brother loves reading the Analects you annotated. In the future, he will have many words and sentences he doesn't understand and will bother you. I hope you will take care of him when the time comes."
Meng Zihe lowered his eyes and looked at Su Ningwen's clear and innocent big eyes exposed.
He reached out and touched his mask, wanting to take it off his face to see his true appearance!
Su Ning'an frowned instantly, and when he stretched out his chubby little hand to stop him, he found that his hand was on Su Ningwen's head, so he quickly retracted his hand.
How could this happen?!
He clearly sensed that he wanted to take off the mask of his third brother.
"Okay, Brother Wen, if you have any words you don't understand in the future, you can come to the Meng Mansion to find me."
Apart from his family, Su Ningwen doesn't like others to get too close to him.
He doesn’t like others touching his head!
He really wanted to slap Meng Zihe's hand away from his head.
But he was the younger generation and could not do anything that would embarrass his elders, so he bowed his head and saluted him again, avoiding his touch.
"Then Ning Wen will bother Second Uncle from now on."
Lu Zihe quickly helped him up and looked at him lovingly, "Second uncle, please don't mind bothering me. Second uncle is very willing to teach people to read and write."
Si Chuyu said, "Alright, let's not delay any longer. Let's go to the painted boat and talk."
Meng Zihe looked at Su Ningwen's small back and whispered in Meng Zilu's ear: "Have you seen Brother Wen's true face?"
"No, when we get to know each other better, we'll see his true face! He's not ugly, and he doesn't have any scars on his face."
"You haven't seen it, how can you be so sure?"
Meng Zilu said: "Because Wen Ge'er has a pair of beautiful ears."
Hearing this, Meng Zihe looked towards Su Ningwen's ear and instantly understood something.
