Chapter 473: The Sheng family is not a scholarly family
Gu Liuyuan nodded, and the two of them sped up and walked towards Qin Yanjie.
The inn where the three of them lived was in the West Market, far away from the palace gate, but they didn't have any extra silver taels to hire a carriage, so they had to pace slowly along the street, and occasionally met candidates who took the same exam on the road passed by them in a carriage, and they saw Xie Zhuangxiang and Gu Liuyuan envious.
Qin Yanjie watched the carriage gradually disappear and turned to look at them.
"Don't be envious, one day we'll have our own carriage." Qin Yanjie patted Xie Zhuangxiang on the shoulder.
The two boys looked at each other and nodded firmly.
"Let's work together!"
At this time, Sheng Hanmo's carriage happened to pass by them, Sheng Hanmo looked at the three of them through the curtain and asked the coachman to stop the carriage, Sheng Hanmo stepped out of the carriage, smiled at the three and said, "Since they are classmates, it is better to take the car back together."
Qin Yanjie and the three of them glanced at each other, and they were unwilling, because they were not familiar with this Sheng Gongzi.
"Don't bother Sheng Gongzi, let's just go back." Qin Yanjie refused, "Farewell." Then turn around and leave.
Sheng Hanmo thought that the three of them would refuse like this, so he just smiled and chased after him to stop Qin Yanjie: "The three of you don't have to be so rejecting people thousands of miles away, we will all be colleagues of the Hanlin Academy in the future, so there is nothing to mind."
Qin Yanjie was silent for a long time, and Xie Zhuangxiang and Gu Liu Yuan hurriedly excused themselves when they saw this, but Sheng Hanmo still insisted on inviting, and the three of them had to get into the carriage with them.
Sheng Hanmo looked at them, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he had listened carefully to their questions just now, and he admired them very much, especially Qin Yanjie, although they didn't have much contact, but Qin Yanjie was indeed a person worth learning, if he had the opportunity, he must ask him for advice.
Qin Yanjie and Xie Zhuangxiang glanced at each other.
"Don't be so nervous." Sheng Han said softly, "I don't mean anything else, but I just overheard that you live in the West Market, and this place is far away from the West Market, even if the carriage has to travel for two teas, if you let you walk back, it will take half an hour."
Qin Yanjie hesitated for a moment but nodded.
Sheng Hanmo said, "Since you are on the same road, I will take you by the way."
Qin Yanjie was silent again.
Gu Liuyuan pulled him, and Xie Zhuang Xiang smiled dryly, "Thank you Gongzi Sheng."
Sheng Han nodded with a smile: "You're welcome, if you need help in the capital in the future, you can come to me, and I will definitely treat you wholeheartedly."
This was too polite, and it made the three teenagers a little embarrassed.
"Master Sheng, you and Old Marquis Sheng are both surnamed Sheng, are they relatives?" Gu Liuyuan couldn't help but break the silence and asked.
Qin Yanjie immediately pulled him when he heard Gu Liuyuan's question, Gu Liuyuan was stunned, he was very presumptuous to realize this question, and he couldn't help but look at Sheng Gongzi apologetically.
Sheng Hanmo smiled: "Exactly, Old Marquis Sheng is my grandfather." Sheng Hanmo explained, "My grandfather is only my father's son, I am the eldest grandson of the family, and there are two younger brothers and a younger sister below."
Gu Liuyuan's eyes widened in surprise.
Xie Zhuangxiang was not surprised, in their hearts, a minister like Old Marquis Sheng who had outstanding achievements and was deeply relied on by the emperor must have more than one seedling in his family, otherwise the current saint would not be able to make a stable dragon chair.
"My grandfather was also very different about our education, in his words, it was called Gifted Teaching." Sheng Hanmo smiled, "So our four siblings have four completely different personalities."
Qin Yanjie and the three of them couldn't help but be in awe when they heard this.
"Sheng Gongzi forgives me for taking the liberty of being here, so is the current Prime Minister Sheng your father?" Gu Liuyuan said tentatively.
"Yes, it's my father." At the mention of his father, Sheng Hanmo's smile softened.
Gu Liuyuan couldn't help but say, "No wonder Sheng Gongzi is brilliantly written, he is really a scholarly family."
"Where, in fact, our Sheng family is not a scholarly family, but thanks to Grandpa's good talent, coupled with a good friendship with the emperor." Sheng Hanmo said humbly.
"Sheng Gongzi is too modest, Sheng
The old marquis is highly respected, and Sheng Gongzi's knowledge is also very good."
The three of Xie Zhuang Township complimented them all the way, Sheng Hanmo agreed with a smile one by one, and the three teenagers gradually relaxed.
Sheng Hanmo smiled when he saw this: "You can call me Hanmo, you don't have to be a Sheng Gongzi, it's too rusty."
The three of Xie Zhuang Township hesitated for a moment but agreed: "Han Mo, you are completely different from the people from the official family we know."
"Oh? Why?" Sheng Hanmo asked with interest.
"They ......," the three of them looked gloomy at the thought of those children of the family, "They are very arrogant and look down on our poor children, take this imperial examination as an example, we are only qualified by virtue of our true talents, and they seem to have just come to go through the motions, but they seem to have been confident in the examination."
Sheng Hanmo exclaimed, "This is what I admire about you."
The three teenagers were immediately ashamed, and hurriedly waved their hands: "Where, Han Mo, you have won the award."
Sheng Han smiled indifferently: "This is just a fact, you don't have to be presumptuous, the difference between the poor family and the family is just the difference in concept caused by the difference in origin, but the cold family also has the advantage of the cold family."
Qin Yanjie asked, "What advantages?"
"There is one thing that the poor have in common, and that is to be diligent and hardworking."
The three of them nodded, and they also understood that their studies were harder and more difficult than those rich and noble children.
"Everyone's circumstances are different, but if you stay true to your original intentions and be brave and diligent, you will always win." Sheng Han said indifferently, "Don't be bound by the world, don't be afraid, you must know that the sky can't fall, as long as we are reasonable, what is there to be afraid of."
Qin Yanjie was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly felt that Sheng Hanmo's body seemed to exude an indescribable charm, which made him a little unable to take his eyes off.
"I felt this sentence in my grandfather, who said at that time that we are still young and have many opportunities, and you will understand later." Sheng Hanmo smiled warmly, "And now I feel that what I get by my own efforts is always more confident than what others give, as for those worldly eyes, whoever likes to see them can let them see it, I have never been afraid of other people's opinions."
He looked at the three of them, and the three teenagers nodded in unison, and they thought so too.
"Tell you a word that my sister said, she said that going other people's way makes others have no way to go, and saying other people's words makes others have nothing to say." Sheng Hanmo smiled slightly, "I think this sentence makes a lot of sense, and then I will remember it."
The three people in Xie Zhuang Township were fascinated when they heard this, and Gu Liuyuan couldn't help but ask, "This sentence is so domineering!"
