Chapter 147: Control the Little One

Since he won't listen to any advice, we can only let him hit the wall on his own. He will naturally turn back when he hits the wall.

Pan Hongzhi was shocked and asked, "What if he fails the test and becomes depressed and doesn't want to study anymore?"

Zhao Yin: "…are you that fragile?"

Based on what he knew about Zong Jincheng, his psychological endurance was not that weak.

Pan Hongzhi didn't dare to act on his own, so he reported to Xu Wan to see whether he should warn the little devil in advance.

Xu Wan accepted Zhao Yin's suggestion without hesitation.

“?!”

Pan Hongzhi suddenly realized. He thought, maybe the lady had not mentioned the matter of practicing calligraphy because she was waiting for this opportunity.

So he asked tentatively: "Should we still remind Jincheng?"

If I really don't say anything, I'm afraid that kid will make a big fuss and it will be hard to clean up.

Xu Wan smiled and said, "Remind him. Tell him about the differences between the examination room and the examiner. Don't remind him that the examiner won't be able to read his handwriting. If he can think of it himself, it means he has a strong sense of crisis, and I'm very relieved. If he can't think of it, it means he's too arrogant and needs to be restrained."

Whether or not to take this lesson is up to the little devil.

Pan Hongzhi nodded and synchronized the examination rules for the two of them.

Zong Wenxiu had just entered the children's class when he took the first test, which was a joint examination of three colleges. Especially since one of them was the Hanlin North College, the pressure suddenly exploded and he became tense again.

There are naturally more little devils.

Master Pan said that he did better than his brother on the test paper and should rank higher than his brother.

To grasp.

The pressure-free kid started thinking about what would happen after he went to the Children's Academy. Although he would choose to study at home like his brother, he would definitely go to the Children's Academy for a few days first to show off to Qin Ye and let Qin Ye know that there was such a great genius and talent in the world. Qin Ye would definitely break down and cry, and let a great talent like him give way to him, hahahahaha...

The more Zong Jincheng thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed, and he laughed out loud.

Pan Hongzhi: “…”

Okay, the little devil chose to accept the new course.

Pan Hongzhi shook his head helplessly and started to work on the new test questions with Zhao Yin. Fortunately, in the last few hours, they could improve their knowledge as much as possible.

When they were leaving for the exam the next day, the little devil said to Zong Wenxiu as he got on the carriage, "We are going to the North Academy of Imperial Academy to take the exam today. I wonder if Qin Shi is taking the exam there. If he sees me taking the exam for the twelfth-year-old class, he will definitely be shocked."

Just think about it, two months ago, he was still in the eighth-year-old class.

Qin Shi was in the tenth-year-old class.

Now he has jumped four levels in a row and surpassed Qin Shi at a rapid speed. This feeling is really awesome.

Zong Wenxiu followed him into the car and said kindly, "You have advanced quickly, but your grades are not outstanding. This is a joint exam for three colleges, and many of the students taking part are very knowledgeable. You may not even make the list in the end, so be prepared."

"Ah? I can't even make the list, and there are 120 spots available." The little devil was shocked and pouted in dissatisfaction.

Zong Wenxiu chuckled and said, "First of all, the Hanlin North Academy will definitely occupy the first fifty places. The other academy is also better than ours, and there will be 20 to 30 places left for us. This means you have to be in the top 30 of Qingbo Academy. It's quite difficult. I was only 53rd that time."

Little Devil: “…”

After being told this, he no longer wanted to take the exam.

Isn't this clearly intended to be used as a stepping stone to be stepped on again and again?

Zong Jincheng suggested seriously: "Brother, why don't we get off the bus now and take the test next time. Next time, I will definitely be able to beat them all!"

Zong Wenxiu replied with some embarrassment: "No way? Who would not take the exam for fear of not getting a good ranking? If everyone thinks this way, then those students who can't make the list will never have to take the exam again, right?"

"It's different. It's not like we will never be on the list. We'll just try this time. We won't take the exam again this time. We'll try again next time!" The little devil knows how to stop when you're ahead and retreat when faced with difficulties.

Xu Wan once again sighed that this kid was really suitable for the officialdom.

If he doesn't become a second-rank official in the future, it would be a shame for his talent.

Zong Wenxiu turned his gaze towards Xu Wan.

My aunt is here too, so it’s up to her to decide whether to go or not.

But my aunt will probably not agree.

The little devil was immediately unhappy when he saw him looking at Xu Wan. Asking Xu Wan was the same as not asking. How could that woman be the same as...

"Okay." Xu Wan agreed.

Little Devil: “!??”

Red rain is falling from the sky. Is Xu Wan possessed by a ghost?

She actually agreed to his act of escaping from the battlefield?

The little devil was just looking for trouble and tried to fight back, but she actually agreed? ?

"Are you serious?" he asked uncertainly.

Even Zong Wenxiu was confused and felt dizzy.

But Xu Wan replied: "It's true. I also think it's not suitable for you to take the exam today, especially you."

"Why...why?" The little devil felt something was wrong the more he asked.

He always felt that Xu Wan was up to something bad again.

Xu Wan said slowly, "Because I just heard that Luo Chen and Qin Shi's examination halls are both in the North Academy, you will definitely run into them if you go there. Luo Chen has been angry since he lost to your brother last time, and he must want to regain his confidence in you. So, even if you take the exam for the 12-year-old class, he will use his first place in the three-college joint exam for the 10-year-old class to step on you. After all, the difference between the top and the bottom is huge, which is worse than being at the bottom."

Zong Jincheng's face turned red instantly.

He has taken the exam at the bottom of the list, and he is about to take the exam even if he is not on the top.

Originally, he should not have taken the exam. If he had not taken the exam, he would not have failed to make the list and would not have been caught by Luo Chen and ridiculed.

but……!

"I am two grades higher than him. Even if I can't make the list, I am still better than him. How dare he step on me? So what if he is first in the third college? Qin Ye is still first in the fourth college. If Luo Chen is really capable, he shouldn't stay in the ten-year-old class! Come to the twelve-year-old class, come to the children's class! Damn it! How dare this idiot laugh at me! Take the test! I must take the test! If he comes to find fault with me, I will throw the twelve-year-old test paper in his face first. If he can't do it, he will be my grandson!" The little devil roared angrily, directly overturning what he said before.

Zong Wenxiu: “…”

Brother, you change too fast.

Xu Wan rolled her eyes at him and pretended to sleep.

It’s easy for me to deal with you.

The little devil's indignation had not yet subsided. His chest heaved with anger all the way. Finally, he found his composure and began to recite the key points of the exam that the teachers had marked for him.

Damn Luo Chen, just wait, I will definitely be on the list this time!
