Chapter 84 The Little Devil Suddenly Realized
Shunzi was confused and said, "The swelling is not gone, but that's impossible. Master Cheng never cares about these things."
The little devil's moods are changeable, and sometimes even his highly emotional servant who has served him for many years does not understand what is going on in the little ancestor's mind.
Zong Wenxiu nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. You all go out first. I'll talk to Jincheng."
"Yes." Shunzi handed him the clothes and left the room with Buyan.
Zong Wenxiu took the clothes and gently pushed the little guy who was wrapped in the quilt. He said with a smile: "Jincheng, how old are you and you still stay in bed? Why don't you get up and look at your new clothes? This is what your wife asked to be made for you. It's so beautiful. I'm sure many people will praise you when you wear it."
The little devil is usually the most arrogant, but when he heard this, he didn't react at all and remained motionless.
Zong Wenxiu was very surprised and said, "The results are out today. Aren't you curious about the result? We in Jincheng will first crush everyone in Hanlin Academy, and then go to the Children's Academy to crush Qin Ye. You will soon complete the first step."
The little devil moved when he heard that. He pulled back the quilt, revealing a pair of big, dark, shiny eyes. He said evasively, "Brother, I'm a little nervous."
Zong Wenxiu couldn't help laughing and teased, "You're still nervous? I thought that based on your personality, you would get up early in the morning and rush to the academy to check the list."
The little devil curled his lips, blinked his eyelids, and didn't respond, as if he felt guilty.
After a long while, I heard him say, "Brother, I don't want to ride in a carriage with Xu Wan today."
If he didn't do well in the exam, that woman would definitely laugh at him. The little devil was very proud and didn't want to lose face again.
Zong Wenxiu said considerately, "Then I'll ask Shunzi to go ask?"
"Yeah." The little devil nodded.
Zong Wenxiu went out to give some instructions, and when Shunzi came back and said Xu Wan agreed, he said to him, "Okay, get up, let's go look at the list. Jincheng will definitely do very well in the exam today."
Hearing this, the little devil got dressed reluctantly, but his mood was still not very good. He looked as limp as a wilted eggplant.
"Brother, what rank do you think I will get in the exam today?"
Zong Wenxiu thought for a moment and said, "You were ranked 120th last time, but more than half of the students were from other academies. There are only 50 eight-year-olds in the Hanlin North Academy. Since it has become a joint exam for the two academies, I think you will definitely be in the top 20 because you are improving very fast, faster than everyone else."
"Only 20th place..." The little devil pouted, "I can't even get first place."
How could such a weak man say that he wanted to defeat Qin Ye, who was the number one in the four colleges...
Zong Wenxiu brought him a pair of shoes and consoled him, "If it was so easy to get first place, wouldn't all the students in the Hanlin North Academy have committed suicide by jumping off the building? You should at least give them a chance to survive."
The little devil still couldn't muster up interest, so he put on his shoes and went to wash up. When he went out, he still held in his hands two big meat buns given by his brother. He stuffed them into his mouth one bite at a time and climbed onto the new carriage while eating.
Zong Wenxiu sat in the carriage and asked tentatively, "Jincheng, are you upset by your wife because of what happened the day before yesterday?"
My brother has dark circles under his eyes, obviously he didn't sleep well.
Zong Jincheng pouted and said unhappily, "I just can't figure it out... I don't understand why I always lose and never get first place in the exam. Brother, are you lying to me? I'm just an ordinary person, not a great talent, right?"
Zong Wenxiu felt like his heart was melting.
The younger brother was so pitiful that he couldn't help but tell the truth...but he still held back.
Zong Wenxiu said: "You will know when you see the results. No one has such a strong learning ability and progress speed as you. All of us students will be jealous of you to the point of going crazy."
"Really?" The little devil still looked depressed and frustrated, not quite believing it.
When they arrived at Qingbo Academy, Xu Wan did not get off the car, nor did she speak to the two of them.
Zong Wenxiu dragged the reluctant little devil out of the car to see the results. The kid was very resistant and was so nervous that his palms were sweaty.
When he was about to get off the carriage, the little devil suddenly stopped where he was, and a light flashed through his mind.
Zong Wenxiu couldn't pull him away, so he asked, "What's wrong, Jincheng?"
Zong Jincheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and his dark eyes became bright again. He shouted in surprise: "I know! I know! I know why she can predict my behavior!!"
"Ah?" Zong Wenxiu couldn't believe that he was still thinking about this.
The little devil jumped off the car happily, gesticulating with him: "Because my actions are too regular. Once there is a contrast with the usual, it will definitely be noticed. Just like I am always the first to get off the car, and I always have the confidence that I can do well in the exam. These are all regular! That's why you can easily see through my plot and predict my actions!"
Zong Wenxiu was surprised, but suddenly he smiled. He praised, "Yes, that's right. I said Jincheng is the smartest. He understood it so quickly."
The little devil raised his tail proudly, and immediately lost his name. He said confidently: "I am not only smart, but I can also draw inferences from one instance! I can observe a person's fixed behavior patterns, and once I find that the other party is abnormal, I can detect the other party's changes and take precautions. Humph, I will also observe Xu Wan carefully in the future, and then seize her loopholes and hit her hard!"
"Hahaha..." Zong Wenxiu couldn't laugh anymore. "Madam is helping you to open your mind. How can you only think of using this trick on Madam?"
The gloom that Zong Jincheng had been feeling for the past two days dissipated, and he felt extremely relaxed. He even didn't think it was excessive for his brother to speak up for Xu Wan. He waved his hand and said angrily, "Okay, okay, then I won't use this trick on her. I want to observe other people's abnormalities!"
"ah?"
"Let's go, brother. Let's go and see the results!" The little devil, who was resurrected with full health, grabbed Zong Wenxiu and ran, rushing through the crowd and diving in.
On the other side, Xu Wan opened the curtain in the carriage, looked at the two people's backs and said with a smile: "This kid's mood is faster than the rain in June, it changes in an instant."
Cuizhi smiled and said, "Madam, will you still need two carriages in the future?"
Xu Wan said lightly, "Of course not. After sending them back home today, I will ask Butler Liu to put the carriage away and we will continue to run the household diligently and frugally."
"yes."
As the little devil ran through the crowd, he kept analyzing his thoughts with Zong Wenxiu: "I've seen this guy before. He always looks downcast after reading the list. He must have done very well in the exam this time because he's so happy!"
"And this guy used to walk slowly, but now he's walking so fast. It must be because he hasn't checked his grades yet!"
"And this one, this one, he usually looks as timid as a mouse, but today he actually ran to the Master's Courtyard. He must be asking for credit, and he will definitely be on the list!"
