Uncle Tuesday: "Of course it's possible. How come it's so unlucky that you're just a little short of being able to catch up with the provincial examination? Your cousin's gentlemen said that your cousin's knowledge, let alone the people's education, is not good enough.
Even if you are a Jinshi, that's no big deal."
My husband is crazy enough, and he is not embarrassed to say such frivolous things.
Jiang Changxi felt that the college where her cousin was studying was probably Pheasant College, which specialized in deceiving students.
Who would have expected that Zhou Lan actually said: "Second uncle, don't worry. Since gentlemen said, my cousin's knowledge is naturally good. If I wait for three years, I won't be able to win the championship in one fell swoop."
Grandma Zhou: "That's natural." As I said just now, grandson Zhou Xing has a talent for understanding Yuan.
Uncle Tuesday: "As of now, it can only be like this. It's good for you to go and comfort your cousin. It's a good thing you came, otherwise your cousin would have gone to the academy again."
Jiang Changxi: "Didn't you say that I couldn't catch up with the provincial examination, but now I can go back to college?" In Jiang Changxi's opinion, if he can't catch up with the provincial examination, he must be feeling unwell or something. Can this matter be cured immediately?
When Grandma Zhou changed her face, she knew that this little goblin had bad intentions.
Uncle Zhou Zhou then said with great regret: "It's such an unlucky coincidence that I missed the provincial examination."
That's really unlucky, and I can't help but accept it. So there is a luck bonus in the scientific examination.
Jiang Changxi thought about it, and when she returned from the county town, she went to pay homage to the great monk's temple.
Uncle Tuesday: "If your grandmother hadn't been worried about your cousin's health and kept preventing your cousin from practicing for a few more days, your cousin would have gone to Fucheng to see you."
Zhou Lan immediately said: "I have to worry about my cousin, but I still have to put my body first."
Jiang Changxi said in his heart, with this kind of luck, just stop it, I am afraid that it will bring trouble to my husband. What is there to show off, when we care about such a dim old grandmother and dote on her?
Mrs. Tuesday: "You two have been close friends since childhood. If he knew you were coming, your cousin would definitely not go anywhere. Unfortunately today, I have to ask you to stay for a while."
So you'll have to wait to see this legendary cousin.
Jiang Changxi didn't want to give this face and couldn't meet each other because they just didn't have this fate. Unfortunately, the second uncle was too enthusiastic and they must let the couple talk more.
His son failed to go to high school, and for a while, Uncle Zhou had to rely on his nephew's reputation to protect him, so he was very attentive to Zhou Lan.
Of course, he was more attentive to Jiang Changxi, after all, that girl from Dali was always by Erlang's wife's side.
Regarding Uncle Tuesday's current attitude, Jiang Changxi has adapted very well. You can see what he has managed to do, and you will feel comfortable when you look at it.
The ones who didn't adapt were the old man and his wife of the Zhou family, and the second son's behavior was really shameful, so they sent Zhou Lan and Jiang Changxi away directly.
After all, there is still hope that the eldest grandson can win the championship. It is not rare for Zhou Lan to be a successful person.
As for Zhou Lan's passing, it is obvious that Mrs. Zhou doesn't care much.
Although they are all grandsons, this grandson's "Zhou" is no longer the same "Zhou" as them. Not only is he unhappy, but he is also aggrieved and embarrassed.
When I first gave it to my grandson Zhuangzi, I thought he was just a rich man. But now it seems that they were mistaken.
Mr. Zhou wanted to win over both sides, but unfortunately Zhou Lan refused to accept this idea. Mrs. Zhou was not very cooperative either.
Jiang Changxi felt that it was time for the old grandmother to be brave, and it was good to meet such an old couple who didn't quite understand. It would save them worries.
Zhou Shule didn't have to interfere with the old couple, and he could talk to Zhou Lan well. He didn't have to adjust the atmosphere in the middle, he could just focus on pleasing Erlang and his wife.
I also specifically asked Zhou Lan if he needed any ideas about this provincial examination.
Zhou Lan: "With my cousin's knowledge, it doesn't matter what the test questions are, I will definitely be fine."
Followed by: "If I have to talk about issues that require ideas, there are some trivial matters."
Uncle Tuesday: "Erlang, you have to talk to my second uncle carefully."
Zhou Lan: "That's natural. You have to rely on yourself for all the trivial matters in the scientific examination. You have to adapt to this in advance. Also, my second uncle should have heard about things in Fucheng. The two old scholars are so knowledgeable, just because of a few words
Gossip failed."
So don’t be greedy in your own business, and learn to take care of yourself. What Zhou Lan said is very true.
Uncle Zhou and his wife nodded together. Erlang did not hide anything. This is indeed a problem: "Yes, yes, we need to learn a lesson."
What Zhou Lan said was very sincere, and it was indeed a matter of scientific research that required ideas.
Uncle Zhou felt that he was his nephew after all and had no secrets.
As for knowledge, Uncle Zhou didn't blame Zhou Lan for refusing to reveal it at all. He firmly believed that his son's knowledge was better than his nephew's. He really didn't need his nephew's advice.
So you see, both parties are very happy. Jiang Changxi also listened very well.
There was a commotion at the door, Zhou Lan stood up, Jiang Changxi looked up, and saw that he was a handsome man. To be honest, Jiang Changxi, who was looking at his face, wished he could have sat there longer.
Zhou Lan raised her hands to the man without saluting: "Cousin."
Jiang Changxi thought to himself that a man as virtuous as Uncle Zhou was able to raise such a son. Did he hold him in the wrong hands when he was born?
People say that good fortune comes from the heart. At this time, Jiang Changxi believed what Uncle Zhou said. He must be a disciple who has high hopes for his teacher.
The visitor walked a few steps leisurely, then looked Zhou Lan up and down, with a smile on his face: "Second brother" followed: "No, Uncle Zhou"
There is familiarity between the lines, and the two brothers look the same as they do outside.
Zhou Lan's face turned red: "I made my cousin laugh." Judging from the scene when they met, the two brothers should have a good relationship.
Following Zhou Lancai, he introduced Jiang Changxi: "This is my eldest cousin. He has been studying in an academy in Kyoto, so we haven't been able to see each other since we got married."
Jiang Changxi saluted: "I've met my cousin."
Zhou Lan then introduced: "Cousin, this is my wife, and we will get married after observing filial piety."
The second cousin looked straight at her and replied: "Brother and sister." Then he stopped talking to the female family members. He ignored her completely.
Jiang Changxi knew that this was taught by an orthodox old gentleman, and after saluting, he automatically came to stand next to Zhou Lan.
Cousin Zhou Xing is the name given by Zhou Lan's father. The two brothers are very close when they meet.
The topic just now was picked up, and Zhou Xing looked pleased: "Brother, I am only proud of you. Uncle Zhou in Baoding Mansion is unknown to everyone. As a cousin, I am far different from my brother."
Already."
Jiang Changxi twitched his lips and said he was Uncle Zhou, so what else could he say about his cousin? Don’t you understand, our Zhou family has its own seniority ranking.
Zhou Lan said very modestly: "If my cousin can get through this time, he will definitely become famous all over the world. This little brother's achievements are really not worth mentioning. I made my cousin laugh."
Jiang Changxi could tell that the two brothers were in love with each other, but they were distant and not close. That's right, anyway, if she were Zhou Lan, she would definitely not be so generous. It would be nice to be able to say a few words in such a peaceful manner.
