Chapter 8 The Day of the Joint Entrance Examination
Important days always fly by, as if it was just a blink of an eye, and the day of the joint entrance examination came so quietly.
At the breakfast table, Chang Hao, who has never paid much attention to the children's learning, had a rare mouth.
"Can Nian Copaer be confident?"
"Back to my father's words, the child is fully prepared and will definitely live up to the high expectations of your parents."
Every question and answer is polite, and there is no trace of the petty warmth that should be between father and son.
"That's good," Chang Hao nodded.
"This year's JAE is different from usual, and there are also a few talented students from Jingxi College for reference, so you must not take it lightly and do your best.
"Yes, follow my father's teachings." After his son's instructions were finished, Chang Hao turned his attention to Chang Yujiao, who had been sitting silently in the corner.
"Today's women's school also has a big exam, how does Jiao'er feel?"
Chang Yujiao is not as casual as Chang Jinbai, she didn't even bother to leave the stool when she replied, she stood up and replied in a proper manner: "My daughter is also ready, please rest assured that my father and mother are ready." ”
"Well, that's fine. My Chang family has been reading and educating people for generations, and the reputation is far and wide, you two must do your best, and don't insult the reputation of my Chang's scholarly family, you know? ”
"My son got it."
"My daughter knows."
The two children who had never longed for their father's love replied in a flat voice, but Chang Jinbai did not miss the gaze that his father kept looking in the other direction when he spoke,
Chang Jinyang, who was stared at a little hairy, lowered his head and didn't react, didn't he just say this to himself? He is the only one in the family who doesn't like to read, but he really lost the reputation of their old family~
It's just the normalcy between father and son, and everyone doesn't pay much attention to it. After breakfast, they left their seats.
"Third sister, can you and I sit in the same carriage today?"
The Chang family is a century-old wealthy family, and almost everyone in the family has their own special carriage. In the past, Chang Jinbai's academy and Chang Yujiao's female school were not together, and the two of them have always been their own carriages. It is rare that the location of today's joint entrance examination was chosen in Chunyang Academy, where Chang Yujiao studied, and in line with the principle that good or bad are all family, Chang Jinbai took the initiative to speak.
Chang Yujiao was stunned for a moment, with a little doubt in her eyes, but then she covered it up, and curtst and replied: "Then there will be a ride for the third brother of Lao." ”
"No trouble, no trouble." Chang Jinbai waved his hand casually.
I don't know if in order to show his love for this child or for some other reason, Chang Jinbai's special carriage is more prominent among several children in terms of materials and volume, and the spacious carriage is enough to accommodate five or six people to sit side by side, and it is more than enough to bring only Chang Yujiao and a maidservant.
In the car, Chang Jinbai stuffed the hand warmer handed over by Sanfu into the arms of Chang Yujiao, who was sitting side by side with him.
"Seeing that the third sister's hands have cracked a little in the past few days, maybe she writes a lot on weekdays, and she doesn't pay attention to keeping warm. You can take this hand stove back, you can pay more attention in the future, the girl's hand is her second face, and the third sister must not be carelessly maintained. Ru Ping, looking back, I have to bring a hand stove and gloves to the young lady every day, it's cold, don't let her get contaminated with cold water anymore, can you remember? ”
Chang Yujiao's personal maid Ru Ping's eyes flashed with a gleam, and she hurriedly responded obediently: "Slave and maid remember!" The third prince can remember the young lady so much, and the slave maid thanked the third prince for his care! ”
"Don't say more, Miss Ben is here, so I need you to thank me on my behalf?" Chang Yujiao glared at her with a little dissatisfaction, but there was more warmth in her eyes.
"Thank you for your concern, my little sister is grateful."
"Come on, it's all a family, and you don't want to thank you or not. You, even follow the eldest brother and eldest sister on weekdays, and even your temperament is dull by the two of them. You might as well learn more from the second sister, which girl of your age is not lively and cheerful, how can there be a girl like you who always has a straight face every day? If you don't smile much, how can you be worthy of the delicate face of the third sister? ”
The words were a little frivolous, but Chang Yujiao had long been accustomed to the problem of the three sudden convulsions, and lowered her head and responded: "Little sister has written it down, and it will be in the future... Smile more. ”
"Well, that's right. Ru Ping, you get along with Miss the most on weekdays, but you have to urge her more, don't always learn from those old-fashioned ways in the girl's family, otherwise how boring life is? Chang Jinbai said easily.
"That's it, Third Young Master! You are still sensible, please rest assured that the third young master will definitely help you supervise the young lady well! ”
"Mouth too much, don't stop talking!" Chang Yujiao scolded again, Ru Ping immediately stuck out her tongue, and sat obediently in place and stopped talking.
There was nothing to say all the way, and as soon as he got off the carriage, Chang Jinbai bumped into the Su family sisters and brothers who had also just arrived.
Master Su spoils her daughter, and she has been reluctant to let her child suffer when she reaches the age of entering school, so Su Ying waited for more than a year before going to the school with Su Yi, and she should be regarded as the oldest candidate in this joint entrance examination.
"Yo?! It's rare to see you two brothers and sisters in the same car! Su Ying seemed to have stepped out of the shadow of broken love, and returned to her usual grinning appearance and walked up to say hello with a smile.
"Jiaojiao sister, long time no see! Why don't you ask your third brother to take you out more on weekdays? How boring is it to stay at home all the time? When I turned back, my sister went to your house to find you, and when my brother didn't give it a hand, my sister took you out for a walk, ah! ”
"But come on, Sister Sakura, my third sister is a good child who is well-behaved and sensible, you old man will save effort, don't take her badly!" Chang Jinbai said mercilessly, but his eyes flashed with a little joy. Girls' families should play more with same-sex friends.
"Hey! You kid really bites Lu Dongbin, you don't know the hearts of good people! I don't want to think about who brought me bad in the first place? Isn't that good second sister in your family? ”
What Su Ying said is not entirely false, Chang Yuning, the second lady of the Chang family, made trouble when she was a child, and when she went to the girls' school, she even brought her classmates to make trouble with her. At that time, Chang Jinbai and Su Yi got closer, and even the two girls gradually became familiar with each other, and in the future, Chang Yu would rather take Su Ying, who was more than half a year younger than her, to fool around. Later, the Chang family saw that this was really not good, these two people were too noisy together, so they simply transferred Chang Yuning to another school, and the two of them didn't have a lot of time to get together to do things, but the relationship in private was still very close, and it was not inferior to Chang Jinbai's hardcore best friend of their brothers.
"Yes, your old man is right, right? Let's hurry inside, it's cold outside, what's the point of standing and blowing the wind? Chang Jinbai was too lazy to have a verbal dispute with her, urging everyone to hurry into the house.
"Huh? Shall we go inside? Don't wait for Chengying? That's too unrighteous, isn't it? Su Ying said, but there was a flash of loss in her eyes.
Chang Jinbai didn't plan to give her this opportunity: "You have to wait, your old man will wait alone, my sister is arrogant and expensive, and I feel distressed when she freezes!" Walk Lao Su, let's go first! ”
Su Yi looked at her sister who looked embarrassed with a smile, directly ignored the pleading in her eyes and kept up with Chang Jinbai's footsteps, leaving Su Ying alone in the same place and stomping her feet angrily, snatching the schoolbag from Biyun's hand and keeping up with the footsteps of several people.
In the corner where no one noticed, Fang Chengying cautiously poked his head out and met Chang Jinbai's gaze towards this side. The two showed a tacit smile, some things, it still has to be broken to be good for everyone.
The examination centers of the men's academy and the women's academy are different, and the four of them separated not long after entering the academy gate. It wasn't until the figures of the two girls had passed the corner that they couldn't see this side at all, and Fang Chengying came out and put one hand on the shoulders of the two good brothers.
"How's it going, you two? Have you reviewed it all? Hey, I can tell you, I heard that there are several very strong students in this joint entrance examination, all of whom are powerful characters who have already won the show and are ready to participate in next year's Spring Festival. ”
When the three of them get together, they will never mention the topic of Su Ying, this is a tacit rule between them.
Chang Jinbai shook his head and replied: "It's hard to say, I've also heard of those people, the article is really good, and the strength of other subjects is relatively average, so it's really difficult to deal with." ”
"Still, I'm confident." He is always so unconditionally confident, and the other two people in the past still felt that his self-confidence was blind and conceited, but later Chang Jinbai used the shoehorn of fact countless times to draw their two delicate little faces into Easter Island stone carvings, and they had to admit that this kid never bragged easily, but as long as he dared to blow it, then this cow could be blown by him 100%!
"Look, look at the confidence that people are always so sure! What about you, Sue? What is the goal this time? "Fang Chengying is a chatterbox, and he talks like a gossip reporter all day long. That is, these two are happy to have someone to add some fun to their ordinary life, otherwise the big ear scraper will draw this kid to Antarctica.
Su Yi smiled and replied truthfully: "I don't have Jin Bai's confidence, but I am still a little sure of chess skills and articles." ”
"Hey! is worthy of being a good brother of our Chengying, it seems that I have to work hard this time, otherwise I am afraid that I will be abandoned by the two of you soon! ”
While gossiping, the three of them had already arrived at their examination room. At this time, there are already a lot of students in it, and most of them are bored to review the key points, which is no different from the students who are now tortured by various exams.
"Not really, right? Isn't it just a joint entrance examination, as for being so desperate? Fang Chengying muttered in horror, and then made the other two beside him a big white eye. Since you can't look down on it like this, do the dark circles under your old man's eyes still appear out of thin air?
The appearance of the three people did not attract much attention, but they were happy to relax, and each found his place and sat down.
