"You are also thirteen, Ah Qi is going to end this year, you are the same as Ah Yuan, you are five years old, you have been reading for eight years, you should be able to see and see, even if you don't pass the test, it doesn't matter, it's good to see and know, I let Ah Niang go and talk to your husband, let you also try this year."

"No, absolutely not, I'm not the kind of reading seed that Ah Qi is." Cheng Mingzhi was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again.

Cheng Mingzhi is lazy by nature, he has never worked hard in his studies, and he is messing around every day, and he is not admitted to a second-rate academy like Rende Academy

There are more than a dozen young students who are going to end in Rende College this year, and there are also a few who are similar in age to Cheng Mingyuan, but they are all top students in the academy, but Cheng Mingyuan is a gentleman who does not learn and has no skills.

"With the addition of Enke this year, there are fewer people than last year, and maybe there will be a chance to be admitted, even if you can't pass the exam, you should see it, and you won't suffer." Cheng Chan persuaded bitterly that she was not all for her own selfishness, but she really felt that Cheng Mingzhi should try it out, otherwise he would always live like this, a scholar who never thought of going to the exam, can only be a gangster for the rest of his life.

Cheng Mingzhi is a gentleman, but he also wants to save face, he obviously can't pass the exam, maybe he has to hand in a blank paper, in order not to be embarrassed, his attitude is also very resolute, "No, I will never participate!" ”

"If you don't participate this year, when will you participate?" Cheng Chan asked coldly, "You don't plan to participate in this life, do you?" The son of the dignified Chengenhou Mansion has read books all his life, and he can't even mix up with a showman, doesn't it make people laugh off their big teeth? ”

"Laugh and laugh, I'm not reading material in the first place." At this point, Cheng Mingzhi is as calm as Cheng Mingyuan, and would rather be ridiculed than suffer.

"You're not reading material, are you practicing martial arts? That's done, don't go to the academy to study, just stay at home and practice martial arts with Ah Jin. Cheng Chan was a little anxious, she didn't force Cheng Mingzhi to ask him to study, she didn't want to study, she could practice martial arts, no matter how bad she was in business, she had to make a living for herself, otherwise there would be no title at home, what would he live on?

Cheng Mingzhi was speechless, he didn't have never practiced martial arts, he was also interested in fighting and killing when he was young, and his family also invited him to be a martial artist for a few days, but practicing martial arts was too hard, and he couldn't pass the Zama step alone.

"Eldest sister, can't I be the material for eating, drinking, and having fun? My father's days were quite leisurely......" Cheng Mingzhi snorted, in fact, he was very envious of his father Cheng Enhou's happy days like a fairy, not staying in the house all day long, and traveling between the mountains and rivers with beauty, is there anything more comfortable than this?

Cheng Chan has been influenced by Mrs. Cheng since he was a child, although he still respects his father, but he doesn't look down on his idleness in his heart, and he gets angry when he hears what he says, "My father has been lifted anyway, if you can be lifted like him, then you will live a free life." ”

Cheng Xuan's tone was very resolute, making Cheng Mingzhi chaotic, pacing back and forth, not knowing how to make her dispel this ridiculous idea, "Do you know what the test is?" Scriptures, poems, and strategies! You asked me to write a strategy? It's not crazy, what is it? ”

"Why are you crazy? Ah Qi is so young that you can be so old, why can't you? Are you worse than him? ”

"Hey, if you take the test to eat, drink and have fun, I will never be worse than Ah Qi, the test is the Four Books and Five Classics, I am really worse than Ah Qi, there is a way that the ruler is longer, the inch is shorter, and it is boring to compare with him." Cheng Mingzhi was full of words, "Besides, how many Ah periods are there in this world?" He was born to be a scholar, and he is not often seen in the whole capital. ”

Cheng Chan was annoyed by his sophistry, "Anyway, you are also the eldest son of the Chengenhou Mansion, so you can't give yourself some ambition?" ”

Cheng Mingzhi looked aggrieved, "I'm telling the truth, don't talk about those fictions, even the gentleman of the academy said, I am a rotten wood, you can't expect the rotten wood to bloom." ”

Cheng Chan was so amused by Cheng Mingzhi's words that he couldn't cry or laugh, why did Cheng Mingzhi and Cheng Mingyuan have such a pair of living treasure brothers in the family?

The two were arguing, Mrs. Cheng came over at this time, she was worried about Cheng Mingzhi, if she hadn't suddenly stumbled over something, she would have rushed to Cheng Chan immediately after explaining to Cheng Jin.

"A-Niang, I was telling my eldest sister to go to my grandmother's place to say goodbye, and then I will go to you." As soon as Cheng Mingzhi saw Mrs. Cheng, he immediately greeted Mrs. Cheng with good faith and filial piety.

"Your grandmother is listening to a play right now, if you disturb her, I'm afraid you'll annoy her again," Mrs. Cheng took him and looked at it carefully, "My son, I haven't looked closely, why has I lost so much weight, but I can't get used to eating the food of the academy?" ”

Cheng Chan coughed twice, "Ah Niang, Ah Yuan is obviously strong again, don't worry, he can't treat himself." ”

Although Mrs. Cheng is taking care of a huge Hou Mansion, but only her four children are really worried about her heart, even if she is so clothed and fed, she is still worried that they will be wronged when they are hungry and cold, although Mrs. Cheng also wants to force Cheng Mingzhi to study, but when she thinks that he lives alone in the academy and studies hard in the cold window, she is distressed, in fact, Cheng Mingzhi went to the academy after the New Year at home, but he didn't see him for more than a month.

Mrs. Cheng sneered at Cheng Xuan, "You don't know the heart of being a mother," and turned to Cheng Mingyuan and said, "I have ordered the kitchen to boil some nourishing soup, and you will have to drink a few more bowls later." ”

Cheng Mingzhi happily agreed, as long as he didn't mention the matter of studying with him, he was happy.

"Ah Niang and Ah Jin have just come back from the palace, and it has been hard, so you should also drink a few more bowls." Cheng Mingzhi said with a smile.

Hearing Cheng Mingzhi mention the palace, Mrs. Cheng's face was a little more uncomfortable.

Cheng Chan has always been sensitive, and immediately looked at Mrs. Cheng, "A-Niang? ”

"The Empress Dowager has sent a message to let your second aunt enter the palace tomorrow." Mrs. Cheng's face was as usual, if it weren't for a delicate person like Cheng Chan, she would never have been able to detect her ups and downs.

Cheng Mingzhi didn't notice any difference, and said with a smug smile, "The Queen Mother's aunt is really very kind to our family, today A-Niang just entered the palace, and tomorrow the second aunt will enter the palace, and only our family has such a face in the world." ”

"What are you so proud of?" Cheng Chan is most unaccustomed to Cheng Mingzhi's stupid appearance, he is the eldest son who wants to inherit the family business, and he has also read books for so many years, but he never wants to think about things deeply, and he is the most likely to be instigated by others, "Did you listen to other people's nonsense in the academy again, and felt that with the support of the Queen Mother, you can do whatever you want?" ”
