Houfu Key Class

Whether it is the imperial examination or the boy's examination, they are all in the form of competition, with fixed quotas. Only by defeating all the people above can you pass the exam.

However, even if he was rejected, the dean laughed so hard that his eyes almost disappeared. He kept saying, "Okay, then I will come back to ask Madam for advice in three years."

Three years later, with her help, maybe their Qingbo Academy can get rid of the fourth place in the whole capital.

The dean was happier and happier, and his eyes looked at Xu Wan more eagerly.

After returning from Qingbo Academy, Xu Wan sat in the pavilion outside the big study, looking at the little devil who was studying hard in the room through the window.

This kid looks like a proud fool. He shakes his head while reading, and makes a clever joke from time to time to make people laugh. But what he does is extremely beautiful, clever, and methodical, especially those related to himself.

And his cousin Wenxiu, who is from the same lineage as him, is a little inferior in comparison. The two have the same grandparents, and their fathers are twins from the same mother. The only difference should be their mothers.

I really don't know what kind of person the little devil's mother is.

Xu Wan suddenly became very curious.

She asked Cuizhi, and Cuizhi shook her head like a rattle, indicating that this question was beyond the scope.

Not to mention her, even the old marquis didn't know, otherwise he wouldn't have let this kid be the grandson for eight years without welcoming his mother into the house.

Xu Wan said to herself: "She must be a beautiful and smart woman. Boys are more like their mothers, and Wenxiu looks a lot like his mother."

Cuizhi thought for a while and said: "Not necessarily, the young marquis looks more like his father, and the second son looks like the old lady."

Xu Wan asked again: "So what you mean is that Jincheng looks more like Zongzhao?"

Cuizhi shook her head more vigorously: "Not at all."

Xu Wan: "Okay, then use the method of elimination to confirm that Jincheng looks like his mother."

Cuizhi: "... Makes sense."

Suddenly I was convinced.

After Xu Wan chatted with her for a few words, she went to make study plans for the two children.

The little devil did make great progress in this exam, but after Zong Wenxiu entered the 200-person children's class, he was obviously at the bottom. The children in the class were all prodigies, and it was no longer as easy as before to surpass a group of people.

If the little devil entered the children's class, he would face the same dilemma, with countless mountains pressing on his head, and the pressure was terrible.

Her fingers tapped lightly on the stone table, again and again, and after a long time, she said: "Cuizhi, you will tell Cheng Zhidong later that Wenxiu's specific ranking this time does not need to be told, just say that he is not on the list."

"Yes."

Not on the list and the last in the class are different concepts.

Very poor results are said in a general way, so as not to have an excessive impact on a child who works very hard.

When the results of the three-college joint examination were announced, the two cubs made psychological preparations for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage and bit the bullet to meet the cruel baptism.

But the private teachers told them the test results directly: none of them made the list.

Zong Wenxiu: “???”

Zong Jincheng: “???”

The results were announced so quickly that they were caught off guard!

But the result was basically as expected.

Cheng Zhidong said: “Yesterday, my wife and I went to Qingbo Academy together. They were drafting the ranking list and told us by the way, so you don’t have to go there again.”

The little devil quickly reacted and protested: “So you used to be able to know the results in advance ‘by the way’, but you still let us go to see them ourselves every time??”

Xu Wan walked in from outside to suppress the little guy: “Didn’t I accompany you to see the results every time? You make it sound like you walked there yourself, why bother taking a carriage?”

The little devil said with a dark face: “It’s time-consuming, okay? It takes so long every time. Have you ever calculated the half-day time you have lost, the number of books you have lost, and the number of words you have lost? "

Xu Wan chuckled and said, "Okay, you have a talent for accounting. Your grandmother will be happy if she knows it."

The little devil said with a wooden face, "Don't change the subject. You just didn't say it earlier on purpose, hum!"

Xu Wan smiled and said, "I just want you to have a balance between work and rest. I leave one or two days a month to go out for exams, meet people, and talk. Otherwise, it would be so tiring to stay at home and study every day."

Although she was telling the truth, the little devil still snorted proudly and turned his head away.

Zong Wenxiu asked, "Auntie, aren't we going out today?"

Master Cheng just said that neither of them made the list, so there was really no need to go again.

Xu Wan nodded and said, "No, let's study in the mansion today. Jincheng will take the test for the children's class in a few days. Time is precious."

The little devil immediately tensed up.

That's right, the test for Tong Keban is the most important thing, he has to go all out!

Xu Wan was about to leave after she finished speaking, but turned around and said, "Oh, by the way, there is a lantern festival on South Street tonight, with beautiful lanterns and flower boats, as well as activities like guessing riddles, you can go there to play after school."

The little devil's ears immediately perked up when he heard this: "Flower boat?"

"Yeah, it's pretty." Xu Wan actually hadn't seen it with her own eyes, but she felt that it shouldn't be that ugly.

Unexpectedly, the little devil had a strange idea, and suddenly had an idea: "Can you return my boat to me first? One day is fine, I'll take my brother to the center of the river to see the lights, my boat is so beautiful."

"Your boat?" Xu Wan didn't remember it for a moment.

This kid has a boat?

When did she ever accept such a big thing from him?

The little devil said anxiously: "It's the boat I bought on the first day of the Lunar New Year, two hundred and fifty taels, which you confiscated as soon as you entered the house!!"

He had just bought it and hadn't played with it for a few days when it was stolen by housekeeper Liu. In an instant, he turned from a rich young master into a poor little pitiful person.

Xu Wan: "..."

When she mentioned two hundred and fifty, she remembered it.

When Xu Wan first got married, she saw the account book of the little devil. This former prodigal son had hundreds of taels of expenditure every day, including this boat.

It was said that when the kid was boating with others, he bought it casually because he saw a beautiful boat.

Bought it casually...

Even the reason is so casual, these hateful rich people!

Xu Wan, who wanted to hate the rich instantly, said coldly: "I will let housekeeper Liu sell the boat."

The little devil: "!!!"

"Xu Wan, I will never forgive you!!"

...

South Street was bustling at night, and beautiful lanterns of various colors were hung on almost all the stalls.

The two brothers came here on an empty stomach. They bought a lot of snacks along the way, both hot and cold. They ate while shopping. When they passed by a nice mask stall, they stopped to choose a mask.

"Brother, look at this, this little deer one is nice, try it."

"Okay, but I think this little rabbit one is also suitable for you, you should try it too."

"Little rabbit? It's too weak, I want to choose a big lion or a big tiger, so that it fits my identity and temperament!"

"Haha, that's fine, I'll help you see if there is a cute little lion..."

The two brothers happily chose masks on the shore, and Xu Wan had already boarded the cruise ship bought by the prodigal son.

It's impossible to sell it. Even if she wants to sell it, she has to experience the life of a rich person before selling it, ha!
