Chapter 54 Jin Cheng's Goal

Mrs. He's expression changed. She stepped forward, took her hand, and said a little too enthusiastically, "Sister, I have an unreasonable request..."

Xu Wan subconsciously withdrew her hand and took a step back.

This scene was so similar to when the old lady entrusted the little devil to her.

She smiled warily, "Madam, please speak."

Madam He was stunned by her retreating action, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across her eyes. She said, "It's like this, you can see it too. My master likes Yuanyang Marquis's Mansion very much, and he also wants Zheng'er to practice martial arts with your child. I thought that if the two children play together, they might be interested in practicing martial arts. I wonder if he can be paired with Jincheng?"

Xu Wan said in a dumb voice: "To be honest, Madam, Jin Cheng actually did not practice martial arts."

"How could it be..." Madam He was stunned. "Your family has been a military family for generations, and the old marquis has made outstanding contributions. Could it be that Jincheng doesn't like martial arts and prefers reading?"

Xu Wan wanted to say, what the hell does he love to study...

He doesn't like to learn anything, he just likes to play!

Xu Wan said, "It was the old marquis who didn't allow it. My second uncle died in battle, and my husband has been missing for many years. The old man is old and can't bear the blow of his grandson getting into trouble again, so..."

Madam He was stunned when she heard this. She said, "How could the old marquis think this way... That's right, I can understand... If my old man could understand, why would he make such a fuss with Zheng'er? My family already has too many children practicing martial arts, and we don't need Zheng'er at all..."

Mrs. He was about to cry again as she spoke. Xu Wan wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know where to start.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. He suddenly grabbed her arm and said, "Sister! I think it's better for Zheng'er to go to your house and play with Jincheng, so that he won't have to climb over the wall and run out every day!"

Xu Wan: "?? Jin Cheng still has to study at home. If He Zheng also studies with him, your father will go crazy."

"Jincheng is studying?" Mrs. He knew about Zong Jincheng.

Isn’t that boy the leader of the four little dandies, the one who hangs out with others all day long?

Just now the maid said that it was Zong Jincheng who helped his son Zheng'er climb over the wall. How could such a courageous child sit at home and study so obediently?

Xu Wan nodded and said, "Yes, Jincheng has become interested in studying recently. He studies hard at home every day and goes to the academy to take monthly exams every month to catch up with his classmates who have better grades."

The court doctor was about to apply medicine to He Zheng in the room, and Zong Jincheng came out not long after he arrived. As soon as he came out, he heard the woman telling others how much he loved reading.

He likes reading... What the hell!

Zong Jincheng could not tolerate Xu Wan defaming his reputation like this, so he stormed forward and said, "I will not go to school anymore, not even a single page! What's the point of chasing after my classmates? Do I need to chase after them? They are all losers!"

Xu Wan's mouth twitched as she said, "The results of the four-college joint exam haven't come out yet. You might not even make the list, you blindly confident kid."

"Impossible! The first place in the four-college joint examination must be me, it must be me!"

"It's definitely not you. You wouldn't be able to pass the exam with just Qin Ye."

"Nonsense, I can definitely kick Qin Ye out this time!"

"Oh, it's hopeless. I advise you to study late into the night from now on. Don't wait until you fail the exam in a few days to study. You will waste a few days of catching up."

"Impossible! I won't learn! I don't need to learn anymore!"

Zong Jincheng and Xu Wan argued fiercely, and all they talked about was studying. Mrs. He couldn't get a word in, and she couldn't force her son to go to the Marquis' Mansion, so she had to give up for the time being.

Zong Jincheng's behavior was very consistent with reality. He said he would not go to school, so he did not go. He just wanted to wait a few days to see the results that he had ranked first in the exam.

But this night, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

What he was thinking about was either He Zheng's desire and persistence in studying, or Xu Wan's firm statement that he could not possibly pass Qin Ye's test.

The little devil was such a confident person, how could he possibly accept such a firm assumption? But Xu Wan's words seemed to be quite right, and she rarely made mistakes...

But...but what a ghost!

She must have made a mistake!

How could he, the eldest son of the Zong family, lose to someone else, let alone to the rude, cold and inhuman Qin Ye!

impossible!

There's no way he can lose!

The little devil pulled the quilt over his head, trying to let his active brain fall asleep in the darkness.

But unfortunately, he was unusually sober today.

Zong Jincheng suffered from insomnia.

He pulled back the quilt and saw that the sky outside was beginning to turn gray. It was almost dawn.

But he couldn't fall asleep lying in bed, so he shouted to get up, and Bu Yan came in. It was his turn to keep watch today.

"Young Master, you got up so early?"

Zong Jincheng hummed and said, "I can't sleep, let's go out for a walk."

There won't be anything fun to do if you go out at this time.

If Shunzi was here, he would definitely nag him and persuade him to go out after daybreak, but Buyan was very obedient and spoke very little. He took the little devil out without asking any questions.

The air in the early morning was particularly fresh, and Zong Jincheng's pair of dark and translucent eyes were blinking. At this moment, the mansion was extremely quiet and dark, with only one place that was bright.

"That is..."

Bu Yan replied, "It's Master Xiu's room. He should have gotten up and is reading."

Zong Jincheng was stunned for a moment and muttered, "A nerd only knows how to read."

He was too lazy to care whether his half-brother was trying to make up for his shortcomings with hard work again. He walked out of the house comfortably and headed towards the busiest street.

In the early morning, vendors push their carts and are busy setting up their stalls one after another. The hot buns in the breakfast shop are also emitting fragrance in the steamer. If you smell it carefully, you can even smell a little raw, which is the smell of food that is in the steaming stage.

As they were still preparing for business, there were no shouting or enthusiastic greetings. The vendors were still busy preparing for their livelihoods, and no one noticed that the young master had come out to play so early.

When Zong Jincheng first saw the earliest early morning street, everything was new to him, but his heart seemed to be constantly touched by something, "They all have their own goals to work towards."

"Um."

“It seems fun to have a goal and work towards that goal.”

"Yeah, yeah." He said nothing in response, trying his best to be a subordinate who could chat.

The little devil asked doubtfully: "Then what is my goal?" He looked up without saying anything, his eyes full of confusion.

Buyan didn't know how to answer. He was not as eloquent as his wife, nor could he comfort the young master with the right remedy like Shunzi.

But he saw behind the young master.

The little devil turned around and saw a plaque of a mansion.

Qin Mansion.
