Chapter 210 The Wasted Son of an Ancient Family (8)
Changqing did indeed take the final exam.
This caused quite a stir.
Someone who hasn't shown up in class for more than half a year.
How dare they even take the exam?
The classroom was filled with boys of similar young age, and when they saw him come in, they all looked at him with curiosity.
Changqing held his head high and chest out.
They didn't care at all.
On the stage, the old gentleman with a white beard sighed and shook his head repeatedly.
Especially after seeing him receive the questionnaire, not even glance at it, and immediately lie down to sleep, the old man could only helplessly twitch the corners of his mouth.
What a glorious reputation!
He has countless students.
It's going to be destroyed here.
The old man sighed inwardly.
If it weren't for the generous stipends from the clan school of such a large family, he really wouldn't be willing to teach here.
Never mind.
Let's just pretend we didn't see it.
Anyway, the aunt has already given instructions, so as long as we don't cause trouble, that's fine.
I've been staying in the dormitory every day for the past six months.
Actually, they didn't cause any trouble!
That's settled then!
The old man, wanting to avoid seeing it, simply closed his eyes.
Not far away, Song Changming was writing furiously, full of energy. Although he wasn't the best student, he was definitely much better than his good-for-nothing older brother.
He was very confident about this.
In fact, he did do better than Changqing on the exam. After all, Changqing only wrote his name before handing in his paper.
What Song Changming didn't expect was—
Changqing was fine, but he was called over by his parents and scolded.
"It's not fair! My grades are above average in the clan school. Song Changqing, he didn't study at all, and he even had his maidservant act as his page to attend classes in his place. Instead of blaming him, you blame me?"
He couldn't hold back any longer.
Why should I?
He was clearly much better than Song Changqing.
Sitting at the head of the table, Song Yu looked at his youngest son, who was full of dissatisfaction, and felt annoyed. He slammed his hand on the table and said, "You still dare to talk back? Your grades aren't even top-notch in our Song clan school. How can you compare to others in the capital?"
The capital city is full of talented people, but this son's performance was rather ordinary.
Song Changming retorted, "I won't compare myself to others, I'll only compare myself to Song Changqing!"
"you!"
Song Yu choked on his words in anger.
Bai Susu quickly handed him a cup of tea, saying, "My lord, please have some tea. The child is still young; we can't rush things."
Song Yu snorted irritably, "How can I not be anxious? The Yang family's child has only just started his education, and after half a year, he's already reading Mencius. People call him a little genius! Is my son, Song Yu's son, any worse than him?"
Bai Susu remained silent.
Don't you know what kind of people your Song family is made of? You even have an eldest son who submitted a blank exam paper. Your own son is already considered quite good.
But she dared not say it aloud.
"Well...maybe they've been learning at home since they were little?" That was all she could guess.
Song Yu waved his hand impatiently.
"No matter what! Changming's studies must be improved! I think he shouldn't take this year-end holiday. I will arrange for a tutor to teach him at home!"
Song Yu was getting anxious.
Previously, the child refused to go to school, causing a great disturbance. In addition, Prince Rui gossiped about it, and the family's embarrassing secrets were also spread.
Although he sent both children to school, he put on a nonchalant attitude, telling everyone that it was up to them whether the children had a talent for studying or not, as long as they knew manners.
But I was a little anxious.
He knew that many people were waiting to see him make a fool of himself; some had said before that the Song family had no talent for studying.
If a father wants to prove that the Song family has academic talent, what can he do? He'll push his child to excel academically, of course.
It's obvious.
The eldest son is a rebellious child, completely beyond saving!
The youngest son is alright, so naturally he'll have to push him a bit. Anyway, he plans to let the youngest son inherit the family business, so it's normal for him to work hard from a young age, and it can be considered a contribution to the Marquis's mansion.
Hearing this, Bai Susu didn't mind. She was happy to see her son being taught privately by a tutor.
But Song Changming was dumbfounded.
We've finally looked forward to the end of the year, and it's almost Chinese New Year, and he still wants to keep studying? Is there no justice in this world?
"I....."
Before he could finish speaking, Song Yu interrupted him directly, "It's settled then, you have no room to refuse!"
Song Changming disagreed.
But he had something else to say, "Then, what about Song Changqing? Should he stay home for tutoring?"
Song Yu immediately shook his head, "What's the point of his tutoring? It'll only affect your progress!"
Song Changming gave up.
The kind of feeling of utter despair.
If he were the only child in the family, he could accept it. But there was also Song Changqing, whose life was much easier than his own.
My parents are so biased!
That's so unfair!
Although he vaguely knew in his heart that his parents meant well, he couldn't bear the thought of Changqing living a carefree life while he had to work himself to the bone.
She even developed some resentment towards her parents.
night.
Bai Susu and Song Yu lay in bed, and she couldn't help but sigh.
"My lord, if we do this, won't Changming resent us?"
Song Yu shook his head indifferently, "When he grows up, he will understand our good intentions. If he wants to inherit the Marquis's mansion, how can he do it without suffering a little?"
Bai Susu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Then, Changqing..."
Song Yu gritted his teeth: "Let that rebellious son go. It's better for him to lose face in the clan school than to cause trouble outside! Anyway, his reputation is already bad enough. When he comes of age and gets married, if Changming has a degree, I can put in a good word for him in the palace."
Upon hearing this, Bai Susu was overjoyed and leaned closer, saying sweetly, "My Lord~"
......
"Young Master, you're finally on vacation. I know a great place. Come on, I'll take you there."
Several days after returning from school, Xiao Mao found Chang Qing and spoke mysteriously.
Changqing hadn't seen Xiaomao for a while and had almost forgotten about him. He looked curious and leaned closer, "What place is that?"
Xiao Mao lowered his voice, "Have you heard of Qunfanglou, a place with lots of women?"
Goodness.
This is just a brothel.
Changqing immediately shook his head, "I won't go. My aunt won't agree, and my father will be angry if he finds out."
Xiao Mao gave a disdainful look. "Young Master, how come you've become so timid after studying? You weren't this cowardly before."
At this moment, Jianqiu poked her head out of the house and said with dissatisfaction, "Xiao Mao, what bad things are you instigating the young master to do now?"
"Don't meddle in men's business!" Xiao Mao snorted.
He always kept Jianqiu in the dark about everything he conspired with the eldest young master. That girl was too annoying; she even wanted to control her master. She was simply too arrogant.
However, to his surprise, the young master behaved differently this time.
Changqing turned around and said calmly, "Xiao Mao said he'd take me to Qunfangyuan, a place with lots of women. He said it's a good place!"
Jianqiu's face immediately darkened.
He turned and walked out.
Xiao Mao was startled. Was he going to report him?
He quickly stepped forward to stop him, but Changqing grabbed him. "You still haven't properly told me what kind of wonderful place that is!"
Ahhh!
Xiao Mao was furious.
"Young master, now is not the time to discuss this. What if the Marquis and his concubine find out..."
But Changqing wouldn't give up. "Since it's a good place, what if they know about it? We can't fight them, so we'll take them with us."
