Xiao Guantang had received instruction from Mr. Lin and could be considered a half-disciple. When Mr. Lin was free, he should serve him to show his filial piety.
Xiao Cunyu immediately shook his head: "Third brother, I'm just here to watch the fun. I'll just accompany Brother Jingmao to take a look from a distance."
"No, that won't do. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if there's no hope, I have to show my face." Xiao Guantang was quite persistent, and added in a low voice: "Although Mr. Lin is picky about scholars, he really appreciates handsome young people..."
When Xiao Cunyu heard this, he was even more reluctant to go.
What's so good about an old man?
He's a lecherous old man, so you can't go there.
She has known countless old men since she was a child. It seems like she was born to attract the attention of old men. She can't even avoid them, so how can she take the initiative to approach them now?
"Ouch, Third Brother, I think I ate something bad... My stomach hurts..." Xiao Cunyu suddenly covered his stomach.
He looked around with a troubled and painful expression, and then... he ran away.
Before Xiao Guantang could react, the man disappeared in a flash.
Zhou Jingmao stood there awkwardly, looking at the handsome young man from the Xiao family, feeling a little confused: "Xiao Jieyuan...is this your biological brother?"
"Cunyu is the only child of my fifth uncle. She's ranked among all the branches of the Xiao family, the seventh and the youngest." Xiao Guantang was very polite to Zhou Jingmao. After observing him carefully, he smiled and said, "I was worried that my seventh brother would be bored in the capital, but I didn't expect him to make friends so quickly. I hope Prince Zhou will take good care of him. My seventh brother is naturally carefree and naive, so he's a bit gullible. As his elder brother, I'm always worried that he'll be wronged. It's just...we brothers are all busy with our own things, so we can't always look after him..."
When talking about Xiao Cunyu, Xiao Guantang became more talkative.
Quite nagging.
Zhou Jingmao swallowed his saliva and laughed dryly: "Are you so naive and easy to be fooled?"
"My seventh brother is young. Although he is a boy, he is spoiled by his fifth uncle, fifth aunt and other relatives in the clan and raised as a girl. He is timid and a little crybaby. I heard from my eldest brother that he is afraid of insects and pain..." Xiao Guantang couldn't help laughing as he spoke.
Who wouldn’t love such a seventh brother?
The Xiao family has always valued kinship, and what's more, the seventh brother has suffered many hardships since childhood, which is really pitiful.
They had seen their seventh brother only a few times, but every time, it was at a funeral.
She was so young and both her parents passed away. How pitiful.
Zhou Jingmao has been fearless since he was a child, but now, listening to the Xiao family shamelessly praising Xiao Cunyu, he was too embarrassed to speak.
Crybaby? Timid?
They're all fake.
Xiao Cunyu is obviously a daring, shameless and greedy villain!
"Are you staying in this temple? I will send a servant to pick you up in the afternoon to meet Mr. Lin together." Xiao Guantang said again.
Zhou Jingmao's eyes lit up: "Okay!"
The yard was immediately reported.
If his father knew that he had met a famous scholar and even had a conversation with him, he would definitely praise him when he got home!
Xiao Guantang was as graceful as a bamboo orchid, elegant and calm. After a brief chat, he said goodbye. Zhou Jingmao then went to find Xiao Cunyu.
Xiao Cunyu is not difficult to find.
Tieyi was tall and brave. At first glance, any head sticking out from the crowd was his.
As expected, Xiao Cunyu didn't have a stomachache at all. She found a big tree, climbed up, and sat on a branch to enjoy the cool air.
