Lu Ran was very happy and agreed.
Everyone in the Qian family, young and old, was very happy to receive the pocket money.
At this moment in the Duke's Mansion, Heng was losing his temper in the study.
The Duke of Wei and his wife stood outside the study with worried looks on their faces, watching the flickering candlelight inside and the sound of things being smashed.
"Why is Heng'er angry?" The old lady was puzzled. He was fine in the academy in the morning, but why did he become different when he came back from school?
Duke Wei stood up and told the servant beside him, "Call the book boy for me."
The servant boy came tremblingly before the Duke. Although he was old and had been in the battlefield, his aura was still very oppressive.
"Tell me the truth, has the young master been bullied in the academy?" Duke Weiguo asked.
The servant boy quickly shook his head, "No, no, no one is bullying the young master."
The old lady asked anxiously, "Why is Heng'er unhappy?"
The book boy stammered, "Today..., in today's exam, the young master didn't seem to do well."
Duke Weiguo and Madam Wu looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief. It was just an exam, no need to worry.
"Heng'er is setting too high standards for himself. It's just an exam." Old Madam said as she stood up. She was going to go into the study to comfort the child.
As for Heng, the old Duke and his wife only wished that he would be safe and grow up healthy.
If you want to study, then study. If you want to practice martial arts, then that’s fine too.
In fact, this time when he entered the academy, Heng unexpectedly passed the imperial examination and was admitted into the Jinshi class based on his own abilities, which gave the Duke and his wife a great surprise.
They thought that Heng'er had been wandering around and had never been to school, so he had to start his education from scratch. Unexpectedly, the child still had an opportunity and went to school for three years.
He just did poorly on the test. The Duke's Mansion doesn't rely on him anymore.
Even if he doesn't go to school, the Duke's Mansion's background can guarantee Heng'er wealth and glory. When Heng'er grows up, the Duke will ask for a title for him.
In the study, Heng sat at the desk.
Looking at the red word "Excellent" on the test paper, I recalled the scene where the teacher praised Zhao Qingsong.
How could this be possible? He is not a good student at all. How could he surpass me?
Heng was neither convinced nor reconciled.
I started learning three years earlier than Zhao Qingsong, but my three years of hard work were not as good as his one year of study?
At first, Heng felt that being in the same class with him was an insult to himself.
He wanted to take advantage of this exam to severely hit Zhao Qingsong, making him feel inferior and even hate studying.
I didn't expect that he scored better than me.
Heng was very confused. His academic performance, which he was most proud of, was not as good as Zhao Qingsong's. Was everything his mother said about him a lie?
I am not the Star of Literature at all. Am I just like the second aunt scolding me, a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest?
What should I do?
Xu Heng stared at the test paper blankly. Before he was eight years old, he took Zhao Qingsong's place, was spoiled, and was able to go to school.
Now, he has taken the prominent position and is enjoying the wealth that should have belonged to the young master.
Is he just going to occupy the magpie's nest like this? Waiting for the day when he will be exposed?
