Xiao Guantang still understood Xiao Cunyu.
"My seventh brother doesn't like things that are too troublesome. He used to pretend to be stupid because he was afraid that we would force him to make progress. Now, if we brothers hadn't promised him and not urged him to take the imperial examination, he would definitely still be making trouble. With such a personality, how could he go to the trouble of doing such a thing?" Xiao Guantang said calmly.
"But regardless of whether it's him or not, many people in the academy have picked up the golden stickers. You candidates preparing for the exam may not take him seriously, but... the scholar class in the academy has already caused a commotion, and many people are saying they want to dampen Xiao Qilang's spirit. On the sixth day, the duel must take place!"
Xiao Guantang put the gold note in his arms and said, "I need to go home and discuss this with my seventh brother."
The man also expressed his understanding, but was a little worried: "Brother Guantang, the exam is coming up soon, don't be too distracted by this matter..."
If Xiao Guantang doesn't do well in the exam, he will be in big trouble.
Ever since Xiao Guantang passed the imperial examination, his talent and reputation spread far and wide. Many people thought that he could get the top six places. If he failed, many people would be disappointed. It would be inevitable that some people would think that he was pretending to be knowledgeable, which would be embarrassing.
"It's just a delay of a few days, it's no big deal." Xiao Guantang shook his head.
He couldn't ignore his seventh brother's affairs.
He suspected that this golden sticker might not only be given to their Luoxing Academy. If other academies also received it, then his seventh brother would have offended many more people this time.
He knew better than anyone the pride of scholars. If his own academy was trampled underfoot and humiliated by other academies while studying in this academy, he would certainly be very angry. Regardless of whether the other party did it intentionally or not, he would still want to restore the reputation of his own academy.
In other words, no matter who wrote this thing, his brother will appear on the sixth day.
Xiao Guantang hurried out of the academy, borrowed a horse from the academy, and immediately went to Xiao Cunyu's residence.
But along the way, I heard a lot of things about my seventh brother, and I became more and more frightened.
There are actually a lot of people talking about him on the streets today!
He listened carefully and heard that there were quite a few posters on the street today, but unlike the golden posters from the academy, those on the street were invitations to others to watch the game. In his words, he even belittled the other major academies as worthless. His brother's rare good reputation recently became much worse because of these rampant posters.
In addition to discussing these things, someone also mentioned that Xiao Jia Qilang recognized Wen Mianmian as his aunt.
This matter was a bit of a joke. It was also said that Xiao Qilang had a lively personality. Although he was a bit arrogant and shameless, he was also able to bend and stretch. In order to protect the girl Mingyu, he did not hesitate to lower his own value.
Xiao Guantang felt more and more depressed, and soon they arrived at the Xiao family.
At this time, Xiao Cunyu was still sleeping comfortably in bed.
I was so tired from shopping yesterday! After I came back, I ran to give the gift to Wen Mianmian. Of course, Wen Mianmian was reluctant to accept it at first. She must have heard someone in the mansion talking about "Grandma" and felt uncomfortable, so she didn't want to accept it.
But who is Xiao Cunyu?
Since she refused to accept it, Xiao Cunyu started to act like a spoiled child. Wen Mianmian usually behaved timidly and gently, and she could not withstand Xiao Cunyu's continuous rogue attacks at all, so she could only accept it in humiliation.
Of course, at the beginning, the servants sympathized with Wen Mianmian, thinking that she was living under someone else's roof and had no right to resist, and was very pitiful.
But later, when they saw that Xiao Cunyu gave away good things, the servants' sympathy turned into envy.
Being an aunt...seems like it's really good!
It’s great that the younger generation is so filial and we don’t have to avoid suspicion!
