Chapter 244 Jin Cheng jokes about Qin Ye
Xu Wan snorted and laughed: "That's about right."
After saying that, she rubbed the kid's head again. The child became more and more well-behaved, which made her unable to hold back her overflowing maternal love.
The little devil enjoyed it happily, and said awkwardly: "You are too strong, you messed up my hair, it's rough."
Xu Wan laughed, patted his shoulder and said, "Go back to study quickly, the teachers will be waiting anxiously."
"I understand." The little devil said and was about to leave, but after a few steps he turned back and asked, "Why do you always call me kid? Am I not your son?"
Xu Wan was confused: "Yeah, there's no conflict, right?"
Zong Jincheng: “…”
That's true, but isn't there any special title for it?
She used to call him Little Jincheng, why didn't she call him that anymore? Was it because he had grown up?
The little devil turned around angrily and was about to leave. He needed to think carefully about other ways to address her, preferably one that no one else had called her before, so that only she could be called that.
Behind him, Xu Wan called out in amusement, "Chengcheng?"
The kid paused, his drooping brows suddenly brightened up, he turned around abruptly, smiled broadly, and asked, "What did you call me?"
"Chengcheng..." Xu Wan said with a smile, "Does it sound good?"
The little devil nodded heavily and said, "It sounds good!"
Love it!
Want to listen often!
Xu Wan rubbed his hair and said, "Okay, I'll call you that from now on. Come on, come and have dinner with me after school."
"Yeah!" Zong Jincheng responded happily.
In the following days, the two studious kids who had planned to skip classes somehow started learning geography, and the other three studious kids also learned how to summarize and apply the knowledge they collected.
In May, Zong Wenxiu and Zong Jincheng took part in the monthly examination of Qingbo Academy and came to see the results a few days after the examination.
Since the two brothers had passed the examination to become Tongzilang students and officially joined the army preparing for the imperial examinations, their new class consisted of students of all ages, and these three little brats seemed out of place.
But the good thing is that, because Qin Ye is so famous, he will be discussed and even stopped wherever he goes, so he has to bear the huge attention for the two brothers of the Zong family.
"Qin Ye, Qin Ye, are you still confident that you can take first place in this exam? Your opponents this time are classmates of different ages. Some of them have studied for several years longer than you, and some have even participated in the autumn exam."
“…”
Qin Ye had a sullen face, his patience had been exhausted by the blockade.
After being stared at with such a death gaze for a few seconds, the person asking the question also felt that he was asking for trouble, so he laughed and said, "I almost forgot that you can beat the entire Hanlin North Academy, so a mere Qingbo Academy exam is definitely not a problem for you."
Qin Ye walked around him with a cold face.
Another person in front of him blocked his way and said, "Hello, Qin Ye. I am the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. My sister likes you very much. Can you go out and talk to her for a few words?"
Qin Ye: “…………”
Finally, it was the guards beside him who stepped forward and solemnly and seriously explained that their son was only nine years old and that they were not thinking that far ahead for the time being, which made the young man who was busy arranging a match for his sister give up the idea.
“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…” Zong Jincheng was the first to laugh wildly, his laughter shaking the earth.
Zong Wenxiu also wanted to laugh, but his brother laughed too loudly, so he quickly pulled his brother behind him to avoid being heard by Qin Ye and getting angry to death. After all, Qin Ye had helped them in the Tongzi subject.
But it was no use turning his back on her. The little devil's voice was too loud and his laughter attracted countless people to watch. Zong Wenxiu once again felt like he was going to dig his toes into the ground.
The little devil laughed so hard that tears almost came out: "Brother, why aren't you laughing? Hahaha, this is so funny. At the age of nine, he's already been chased by someone to get to know someone. I think Qin Ye should stop studying and instead become someone's child keeper, hahahahahahaha..."
Zong Wenxiu gritted his teeth and whispered, "Brother, stop laughing, or Qin Ye will come over and beat you up."
"Huh? Let him do it." The little devil rolled up his sleeves and said, "When it comes to fighting, I've never lost to anyone my age."
Zong Wenxiu: “…”
Forget it, this direction of persuasion failed, let’s try a new one.
"Jincheng, there are many candidates in this exam, and they are very strong, but there are only 120 places on the list. I don't think we can make the list."
The little devil said carelessly: "If you can't make it, then you can't make it. How can you rush to the list just after learning, even if you are a god of literature? And, hey, if we can't make it, Qin Ye can't make it either. Let's see how he can brag about being the first in the future. Let's beat him back to his original form immediately."
Zong Wenxiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This is actually a good way to comfort people."
The two brothers went together to see the results. They deliberately came when there were fewer people around. As a result, when they arrived, they saw Qin Ye coming back with a sullen face.
The little devil immediately started laughing wildly again: "Hahaha, he must have failed the test and his defense was broken! As I expected, Qin Ye's myth was shattered. Let's see who will brag about him being the top scorer in the future!"
Now the two of them were more eager to look at the list, one started from the top of the list, and the other started from the top.
But when they met in the middle, Zong Jincheng didn't see a familiar name, and Zong Wenxiu, who came from the bottom of the list, said in a daze: "We are not on the list. But Qin Ye is on the list, and he is the 100th."
There are thousands of students preparing for the imperial examinations at Qingbo Academy, a huge number. However, Qin Ye was able to make the list just over a month after taking the Boy's Examination. His ability is indeed far beyond that of the Boy's Examination.
The little devil was still trying to make amends: "Humph, now it's his turn to linger at the bottom. It's okay, brother, we are right behind Qin Ye, and we will definitely be on the list next month."
"Yes! We can do it!"
but……
Things don't always go as planned.
In June, Qin Ye ranked 85th, and the other two were not on the list.
“…………”
In July, Qin Ye ranked 68th, and the other two were not on the list.
“…………”
In August, Qin Ye ranked 49th, and the other two were not on the list.
“…………”
The little dandies in the key class burst into laughter.
Especially Shen Yibai, who slammed the table and jumped on the spot: "Hahahaha, I am dying of laughter, Jincheng, if it were you, you shouldn't go to Qingbo Academy to take the monthly exam. You can't make the list every time, and it's all up to Qin Ye to climb the list."
Wei Xinglu also laughed so hard that he was out of breath: "Yeah, hahahaha, otherwise you can ask Shunzi to check the list for you after the exam. You always go by yourself and lose face over and over again."
"Oh my god, I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt. He Zheng is right. Jin Cheng is only the best among us. When it comes to Qin Ye, he can't even make the list."
He Zheng's eyes widened in shock, and he quickly said, "Brother, listen to my explanation. I never said such a thing! I just said that Qin Ye was the first in the boy's exam, and the rest was all made up by Shen Yibai himself!!"
