Chapter 284 Shut up and get out!
Before the palace gates closed at night, the convoy carrying garbage slowly left.
Xun family.
When Xun Mingzhi received the letter, he immediately hurried back to the study.
Xun Zhiyuan happened to see it and hurriedly followed him, "Dad, who sent the message?"
"It has nothing to do with you. It's a colleague of mine outside. Well, go and have some rest. Your mother will take you to see a girl tomorrow. You are not a child anymore. It's time to get married."
Xun Zhiyuan didn't want to get engaged so early, and said reluctantly, "Dad, I haven't accomplished anything yet! What's more, now people are saying that Bai Wutong is most likely to become the queen. If she really becomes the queen, then it won't be easy for me to marry anyone I want in the future."
"Get lost! If you dare to say such nonsense again, don't even think about stepping out of the Xun family's door!"
Xun Mingzhi slammed the door shut.
After making sure that there was no one outside, he carefully opened the letter.
After reading the entire page of densely written letter, Xun Mingzhi let out a long sigh, raised his hand and placed it over the candle flame, watching it turn into black ash.
What Wutong said did make sense. With Zhiyuan's knowledge, even if he could pass the imperial examination, his ranking would not be very high. At most, he could only get an idle official position.
Even if the emperor gave him a slightly higher official position for Wutong's sake, with his ability, it would be difficult for him to make a name for himself in his official career.
As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. If Xun Zhiyuan was not the only son, Xun Mingzhi would have stopped wasting his time on him.
Xun Mingzhi picked up a pen and paper and wrote a letter to his clan, "I heard that Xun Yuanliang and Xun Yuanshan from the Minghe family are quite talented. Why not let them come to the capital to study and participate in the postponed imperial examinations..."
It rains heavily in April.
A fine drizzle fell continuously.
In front of the Xun family mansion.
A carriage slowly stopped.
The curtain was raised, and two young men hurriedly jumped off the carriage. Regardless of the drizzling rain, they quickly walked forward and knocked on the door.
When the concierge saw the newcomer, his face was instantly filled with smiles, and he greeted him warmly, "Hey, isn't this the second young master? Please come in, please come in!"
When Xun Mingzhi heard that his nephews had arrived, he hurried to the hall to wait for them.
Although the clothes of these two young men were wet by the rain, they still looked handsome and stood as straight as pine trees.
They walked up to Xun Mingzhi, saluted in unison, and said in a loud voice, "Hello, Third Uncle!"
Meeting for the first time, Xun Mingzhi looked at the two nephews in front of him and felt very satisfied. His smile became even bigger. "Yuanshan, Yuanliang, please sit down. This place is like your own home. Don't be restrained."
"Thank you for your care, Uncle San. You allowed us to study in the capital and take the imperial examinations with peace of mind. I really troubled you."
Both of them spoke modestly and politely.
"We are all family, why are we talking so differently? Someone, hurry up and bring some hot tea to drive away the cold. Although the weather is getting warmer now, it's the easiest to catch a cold on a rainy day."
Xun Mingzhi spoke as he called upon the servants.
After drinking hot tea, they dried their hair and put on clean clothes. They looked more heroic and majestic.
"Dad, I heard that my cousin is here?" At this time, Xun Zhiyuan strode into the hall with a hint of disdain on his face.
After seeing Xun Yuanshan and Xun Yuanliang, he showed no respect as a younger brother and said, "Why are you dressed like this when you come to the capital? It's too shabby and not presentable. How about this, I have a lot of good clothes, I'll have someone bring them to you. Tomorrow I'll take you to meet my classmates, they are all from real famous families."
After hearing this, Xun Yuanliang and Xun Yuanshan's faces instantly turned very ugly.
If Xun Zhiyuan hadn't written a letter of invitation personally, they wouldn't have come all the way from their hometown to the capital.
Even though they had to take part in the imperial examination in the end, they had originally planned to stay in an inn so as not to trouble Uncle San's family.
But now, I had just arrived and hadn't even sat down in the chair, but I was looked down upon by this so-called cousin. It really made me angry.
Xun Mingzhi saw his son being so rude, his face darkened, and he rebuked him harshly, "Zhiyuan, they are your cousins, do you still have any rules in your eyes?"
Xun Zhiyuan snorted nonchalantly, "What cousin? He's just here to ask for money. Dad, how could I not know what you're thinking? I've heard that you want to adopt them!"
It turned out that this was the reason why he was so arrogant as soon as he entered the door.
Xun Mingzhi was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "Shut up! Get out of here!"
"Master, what are you doing?" As soon as the words fell, Cao came in hurriedly, holding Xun Zhiyuan behind her, with an unhappy look on her face, "Are you really going to hit Zhiyuan for two outsiders?"
"You are just a woman, what do you know? Both of you, get out!"
Cao glared at Xun Yuanliang and the other man fiercely, then dragged Xun Zhiyuan out and said, "Master, I don't care who you want to adopt, but you can't let Zhiyuan suffer any loss!"
Xun Mingzhi was anxious and angry, and almost rushed up to attack.
This mother and son are short-sighted and can only see the immediate benefits, but they have no idea that by doing this, they are making long-term plans for the Xun family!
By training these two nephews with potential, and waiting for the Xun family's power to grow gradually, they will surely help Bai Wutong ascend to the throne of queen in the future. Only then will the Xun family be truly glorious and glorious!
