These selections also have an age limit. Usually, people over 20 or women who are married cannot be evaluated.
In the past, Wu Yezhi of the Wu family and Xiao Jingyun of the Xiao family took turns to top the list. After Xiao Guantang passed the imperial examination, this top talent was as stable as a rock. Wu Sanlang was not as good as his brothers, but he could also be considered... a backup.
But this year, Takesaburo wasn't even on the bench.
Xiao Cunyu was rated as the seventh most talented man and the most handsome man in the capital.
It simply made him extremely disgusted.
A dandy boy who studies at Wanjun Academy is a genius!? Those who voted are simply blind!
But Wu Yanming had to admit that these votes represented Xiao Cunyu's popularity.
Most of those who could get votes were rich ladies. They were soft-hearted and knew that Xiao Cunyu had done a great thing, so they had to support him no matter what.
"Third brother, you are too persistent. What does the Xiao family's affairs have to do with you and me? That Xiao Qilangjun probably doesn't even remember who you are. Why do you make things difficult for yourself?" Wu Yezhi was still calm and persuaded his brother.
Wu Yanming was even more depressed. "Don't tell me I don't even deserve to be remembered? Big brother, in the past, our family... our family was no worse than the Xiao family. Now, those people say you're not worthy of being compared to Dalang and Sanlang of the Xiao family. Why?"
"Just because your uncle did something wrong." Wu Yezhi said seriously, "When you have time, read more books! How long will you keep being jealous? Now you are jealous of Xiao Qilang, and after the Spring Examination, you will also be jealous of Xiao Sanlang. When will it end?"
Wu Yanming has reached a dead end. He just can't figure it out and can't accept it.
The Xiao family is just the Xiao family.
His aunt is the Queen Mother, Prince Rui is his cousin, and his grandfather was once the Duke of Wei!
How come they are such a noble family, and are now regarded as parasites that everyone hates?!
He said nothing, flicked his sleeves and walked out.
Feeling upset, he went to drink with some old friends who still cared about him. Wu Yezhi couldn't stop him, and he had a lot of work to do recently, so it was not convenient for him to keep his younger brother under his wing.
Wu Yanming went to Zhuangyuan Building, where only scholars would go. It was late, but it was still very lively inside.
After a while, someone mentioned the upcoming Spring Examination and everyone began to praise Xiao Jia Sanlang, saying that he would definitely pass the exam this year. If he became the top scorer, he would be the first person in this dynasty to pass the top six exams, and he would be worthy of being the most talented person in the capital.
"It goes without saying that Xiao Jieyuan has a bright future. Recently, the one who has been in the spotlight is the Xiao family's seventh son. This young man is young, but he is very open-minded and kind. I heard that he is also an acquaintance of Mr. Lin. I just don't know his true talent."
"This Seventh Young Master is quite popular in Wanjun Academy. The Zhou family's heir and the young master of the Prince's Mansion are all studying there. He has made great progress now. It seems that the Seventh Young Master, Xiao, is the top student in their academy!"
"Since he's the top scorer, he shouldn't be bad. Every year after the Spring Examination, the various academies will have a competition. It's a pity that there don't seem to be many students in Wanjun Academy. They've never participated, so we can't compete. What a pity."
"But even so, he is worthy of the title of the Seventh Young Master!"
"Exactly, exactly..."
“…”
Everyone is particularly tolerant towards Xiao Qi.
Being the number one in Wanjun Academy, he can’t be too bad, right?
Besides, Xiao Sanlang has praised his younger brother a lot in public, so he would not lie.
Wu Yanming was so angry that he almost died.
