Fortunately, Marquis Yuyong still knew that he had this son, and calculated that the time was almost up before returning home to see his son off.
I thought my son would ask for a lot of money before leaving, but Zhou Jingmao just snorted twice, got on the carriage without saying a word, and left!
"This kid actually turned his back on me? He still hasn't made any progress at all!" Lord Zhou found his son baffling.
The son has his own money, yet he wants to blackmail him!
"My Lord...you've upset the young master this time..." the butler reminded him, "The young master passed the ten-day written examination this time and became the top student among his classmates...After coming home yesterday, he kept asking me about your whereabouts, but I don't know...I can't find you..."
"What?" Lord Zhou was surprised for a moment, then laughed. "This kid is forcing you to play a trick on me, right? He can pass the ten-day exam? Only if the sun rises from the west! How can I not know what kind of idiot my own son is?"
"It's true! Several of my classmates' families have sent gifts to my home. Here's the gift list, take a look!" The butler always carried it with him.
When Lord Zhou saw it, he was dumbfounded.
Did his son really pass the ten-day exam?
Not only did he pass, but he was the only one who passed the written test?!
Marquis Yuyong felt that it was a little unreal. He could not catch up with his son now. He thought about it and went to find Prince Fengping.
The prince's son and his son are studying together, so he must be able to know whether this is true or not!
The results are obvious.
As soon as Lord Zhou went to pay his respects, Prince Fengping congratulated him one after another, and kept expressing his feelings that Zhou Jingmao actually took his studies seriously.
But the Duke of Zhou could not utter a word.
Because he... knows nothing.
He even doubted whether the man that Prince Fengping was talking about was his son!
"Ying Hui said my son was playing with the young master of the Xiao family?" Marquis Yu Yong caught on to this and slapped his thigh. "I see! Xiao Qilang is a rare good boy. Although he's illiterate, he has a very good temper. He's both sensible and obedient. With him around, my good-for-nothing boy will surely behave himself!"
"Xiao Qilang?" The prince thought seriously, "Is he really that good?"
"Don't you know about the Xiao family? Even if they don't like studying, they must have other strengths. I think Xiao Qillang is very smart and knows how to see through people's hearts. Earlier, when he was in my house, he made me happy with just a few words and coaxed people into listening to him. He is amazing!" Lord Zhou judged.
Prince Fengping was very curious.
His son is actually quite well behaved, but he is not studious and is only interested in lust and alcohol!
At that age, too much drinking and sex were bad for the body, so he forced the child to go to the academy.
"Since we are classmates, we should interact more with the Xiao family, and the children should take care of each other..." Prince Fengping already wanted to establish a good relationship with the Xiao family.
There's no harm in getting close to such a well-respected family.
At this time, Yinghui had no idea that she had been sold by her father.
All the students arrived at the academy gate at about the same time, all thinking about how to bring in the most useful things with the lightest luggage.
"Zhuang Jiulang, don't your family members care about you? Why are you empty-handed?" Zhou Jingmao looked at Zhuang Jiulang with sympathy.
Xiao Cunyu also glanced at him up and down, but she didn't say anything.
With Zhuang Jiu's ability to walk on snow without leaving any trace, couldn't he just go out and get whatever he wanted at any time?
This person could be anyone, but it couldn't be just Zhuang Jiu!
There is no need for a banker's son to disguise himself.
"I can't carry it even if I take it. It's better to bring more silver and buy it from Xiao Qi. He has the most things, so it will be enough." Zhuang Jiulang stared at Xiao Cunyu's huge package.
