Chapter 420: The top student in the scholar class - Huang Xiaomu
Xue Jingxiu looked at Ma Yanjie with a half-smile and a look full of sarcasm and disdain.
"As for the cloth, medicinal materials, books, scrolls, gold and silver jewelry, etc. that Xue Zhuoying brought back from the Xue family every now and then over the past few years, I don't want them. I will just regard them as support for your Ma family and the friendship between our two families over the years."
The fig leaf has been completely lifted.
Ma Yanjie’s eyes went dark and he was about to faint again.
Imperial Physician Huang was delighted. Just as he was about to prick the acupuncture points with the silver needle, Ma Yanjie quickly dodged like a frightened bird, "You, don't come over here!!!"
Imperial Physician Huang smiled kindly and chased after him, "Master Ma, don't be afraid. I am very gentle. I will not let you feel any pain. Hey, don't run!"
Ma Yanjie: “…”
If he doesn't run, he's a coward. From today on, he will never be able to look the silver needle in the face again.
"Hurry, hurry, come back with me to move the dowry." Ma Yanjie quickly ran into the Ma Mansion with his servants. His fleeing appearance made the onlookers burst into laughter.
"You deserve it! For people who try to act like scoundrels like this, we should use extraordinary means."
"Imperial Physician Huang is still strong and healthy. He's getting younger and younger as he gets older. Hahahaha!"
"Ma Yanjie turns out to be such a mean person. It seems that we can't have close relations with him in the future. It's best to stay away from him to avoid being schemed against by him."
"Brother, your worries are really unnecessary. After today, Ma Yanjie's career is over. What our emperor values most is, of course, character!"
"Yes, yes, you are right. We must take this as a warning and never learn from Ma Yanjie."
“…”
The onlookers were chatting animatedly, and even though it was getting late, they were reluctant to leave as they wanted to eat the last bit of the melon.
Xue Jingxiu instructed his son, "Zhuo Yan, take someone to the Ma residence and bring Xiao Jie out. As for the two sisters' clothes and supplies, don't take them all. We will buy them new ones when we return home."
"Yes, father." Xue Zhuoyan didn't even bother to look at Xue Zhuoying who was still standing there in a daze, and immediately entered the Ma Mansion with the guards.
Although his Xue family was just an ordinary official family without any title, its family history was long and had been passed down for hundreds of years.
Moreover, some of the Xue family's ancestors had held high positions, were highly respected and admired.
This ancestor was good at business and made many friends when he was alive. He not only accumulated a huge fortune, but also left a good reputation and extensive network of contacts for his descendants.
It is precisely because of such a powerful ancestor that the Xue family has been able to survive through all the ups and downs and has a certain influence in both the officialdom and the business world.
Now that it has been passed down to this generation, although there has never been any earth-shattering big figure in the family, he and his father have also abided by their duties and never taken a penny that did not belong to them, but relying on the ancestral property and wealth, they can still live a rich and comfortable life.
Xue Zhuoying, the younger sister, will definitely regret choosing Ma Zhenbing and abandoning the Xue family.
…
Huang Miaosi took her parents in each hand and came to Luo Ranran, "Ranran, Wenwen, this is my mother, and this is my father."
"Greetings, Princess Zhaoyang." Huang Tongan and his wife smiled and bowed to Luo Ranran neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Huang Tong'an is the second son of Imperial Physician Huang.
Luo Ranran giggled, "Uncle and aunt, there's no need to be polite."
Although Ma Dongwen was in a complicated mood at the moment, she was a polite girl and bowed to Huang Tongan and his wife.
At this moment, the young boy standing nearby coughed twice uncomfortably and reminded in a low voice, "Ahem, sister, I haven't introduced your brother yet."
Huang Miaosi frowned and said mercilessly, "Brother, don't you say you are a real man and don't want to play with us kids?"
Huang Xiaomu: “…”
“Puff.”
Looking at their eldest son's blushing cheeks and embarrassed and helpless expression, Huang Tongan and his wife were overjoyed.
Who told the eldest son to be so serious all the time? It's rare to see him get embarrassed. This kind of opportunity is really rare~
Huang Xiaomu took a deep breath and defended himself, "Sister, I just don't want to play childish games with you. This is just an excuse. You don't know that I, your brother, have always admired strong men since I was a child."
He had long wanted to meet Princess Zhaoyang and the Imperial Master's young disciple Lianjin.
Seeing it today, I find it really lives up to its reputation.
Forget it, relying on my sister’s introduction may not be enough, I have to rely on myself. Huang Xiaomu looked at Luo Ranran with admiration, his tone was extremely excited.
"Hello, Princess Zhaoyang. My name is Huang Xiaomu, and I am Miaosi's biological brother. I just turned twelve years old and am currently studying in the Scholar Class of the Royal Academy."
Scholar class.
They are all students who have passed the examination for becoming a Tongsheng.
As princes, the third prince and the fourth prince did not need to take the imperial examination, but under the strict requirements of Emperor Luo, they had to take the imperial examination like other students.
The two brothers have passed the examination for becoming a Tongsheng and are now studying in the Xiucai class just like Huang Xiaomu.
Luo Ranran exclaimed, "Brother Huang, are you in the same class as my third and fourth brothers?"
Third brother, fourth brother?
Huang Xiaomu was stunned at first, then he realized that the third brother and fourth brother mentioned by Princess Zhaoyang were the third and fourth princes.
He smiled and nodded, "Yes, my lord."
It’s a pity that he doesn’t have a close relationship with the third and fourth princes.
Luo Ranran's eyes lit up, and she waved to the two brothers not far away, "Third brother, fourth brother, come here quickly~"
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Lian Jin and his eight companions came to Luo Ranran's side in a flash. The scene made Huang Tongan's family of four excited and nervous.
Phew, I’ve made some progress.
I met so many royal family members today. I will have something to brag about when I get home. It was worth the trip!
Luo Ranran looked at the third and fourth princes with a smile, "Third and fourth brothers, this is Brother Huang. You are classmates, so I won't say much. Sister Miaosi said that Brother Huang is knowledgeable and is the top student in the class. If you don't understand something, go and ask Brother Huang."
"Uncle Emperor said that you must pass the next exam~"
"Ah?" The two brothers immediately looked bitter.
The third prince is a little better, as he has a pretty good learning ability. On the other hand, the fourth prince has a greasy look on his face.
He only wanted to learn martial arts and really didn't want to study. When he took the examination to become a student, it almost cost him half his life. Now, his father wanted him to take the examination to become a scholar. Isn't this trying to kill him?
What to do? The future is bleak.
He didn't want to go back to the palace tonight. He wanted to live in his sister's space and eat sweet and delicious fruit cake to soothe his soul.
"Hmm?" Luo Ranran's face sank, and she said in a fierce voice, "Brothers, don't you want to work hard? Do you want to just eat and drink for free and just let your life go by like this?"
The third and fourth princes: Σ(д|||)
She is coming, she is coming, she is coming with full of energy...
