Brother Gong Jian believed that Prince Wang was a new friend they had met during their trip to the provincial capital, but that was all. Neither of them took this matter too seriously.
On this day, just after breakfast, when Gong Jian got up again to go back to his room, he glanced at his second brother who was sitting next to him without speaking.
Gong Jian frowned. In the past few days, he had been adjusting his emotions and state. Unexpectedly, the second brother of the family had been staying in the small courtyard and not going out.
But this is not what he likes to see. Regarding his second brother, he always feels that he should have the vigor of a young man. He rarely comes to the provincial capital once and should not waste time staying in an inn. So this time, Gong Jian did not
Instead of turning around and going back to his room like he did a few days ago, he sat on the seat next to him.
Of course Gong Yu also noticed that his eldest brother was acting strange today. He looked at Gong Jian with some confusion, wondering why his eldest brother did not return to the room today, but seemed to have something to say.
Before he could speak, Gong Jian had already asked: "Second brother, you've been staying in the small courtyard these days, don't you feel bored?"
Gong Yu didn't expect that when the eldest brother opened his mouth, he would actually ask his own question. He quickly replied: "Brother, I don't feel bored at all. I have also been reading these past two days."
Hearing his second brother's answer, Gong Jian smiled helplessly. He knew very well that his second brother did not have much talent in reading. Fortunately, this second brother did not set his life goals aside.
, put it on studying to test for fame. Therefore, Gong Jian had never forced his second brother to read and study every day. However, he did not expect that in the past few days when he was adjusting his emotional state, his second brother could not let go of the paper.
He waved his hand and then said: "You haven't set your life goal on studying, and you don't want to take the exam for fame. Why are you shutting yourself up in the yard to read in this rare good weather? Come here this time
The provincial capital is also a rare opportunity. I have no choice but to take the exam soon. But I don’t think it’s necessary for you to stay in the yard with me. You know, traveling thousands of miles is worth reading thousands of books. The most important thing in life is
The truth is not necessarily in books.”
Hearing what Gong Jian said, Gong Yu couldn't help but be a little stunned. The reason why he stayed in the yard reading these days was not because he loved reading boring books, but he just felt that his eldest brother
Since he is working hard to prepare for the exam, he should add less confusion.
In the small courtyard, he stayed under his eldest brother's nose. In this way, he could prepare for the exam with peace of mind. However, he did not expect that his eldest brother would not support him being bored in the courtyard.
Thinking about the book he had brought with him, which he had almost read, Gong Yu also felt that staying in the courtyard was a bit boring. After hearing his elder brother's words, he nodded hurriedly and agreed: "Then
Good brother, I will go to the provincial capital today, don’t worry, I won’t be able to leave the city."
Hearing Gong Yu's answer, Gong Jian smiled. He didn't want to lock his brother in the room and not let him go out because he had to prepare for the exam. "Okay, you can go out and play without worry. What will happen to you?"
Don't be anxious about the matter. If you really can't solve it, just come back to me. Big brother is here to take care of it for you."
Gong Jian was encouraging his second brother to go out for a walk. After all, it was rare for him to come to the provincial capital. He should not let his second brother stay in the inn with him. He was just trying to calm down because the exam was approaching these days, but Gong Jian found that his second brother
My brother still loves to have fun. He likes to hear about new places and see new things.
He knew that the reason why his second brother had been staying in the small courtyard to read these past few days was mainly because he was afraid that he would distract him, so he tolerated his nature and stayed in the courtyard.
Taking this opportunity, Gong Jian would of course ask his second brother to go out for a walk. After all, he was the one taking the exam, not his second brother. There was absolutely no need to waste time like this, and it would be unfair to the second brother.
Gong Yu also knew what his elder brother was thinking. He thought that he was a little bored staying in the yard these past few days, so this time he happily agreed to his elder brother's suggestion and said that he would go out for a walk today.
After walking out of Hongbin Building, Gong Yu really didn't think about where it would be better to go. He hesitated again and again, and finally decided to go to some place where there were more exam questions.
Although Gong Yu has heard from his eldest brother that he is very confident in his participation in the exam, and his eldest brother has never shown that he is wary or pays too much attention to the students who came to take the exam together, Gong Yu
In my heart, I can't help but care.
Since there was no target, Gong Yu decided to go to some places where literati gathered to hear if there were any gossip or noteworthy information gathered by those people. After making up his mind, Gong Yu's steps immediately changed.
Gotta get up quickly.
As for where there are more students rushing to take the exam, Gong Yu's first reaction is of course the Zhuangyuan Building. Because of the name, a large number of students will be attracted there before every exam. Just because of the bright name, I thought I could give it to
Bring some good luck to your exams.
So of course Gong Yu also walked towards the Zhuangyuan Building. It was still early at this time, and when Gong Yu arrived at the Zhuangyuan Building, there were not many people in the lobby on the first floor. Since Gong Yu himself had no goals, it didn't matter.
He simply sat in a corner of the lobby and asked the waiter to bring him a pot of tea. He treated Zhuangyuan Building as a teahouse and just sipped tea and listened to the discussions around him leisurely.
Sure enough, just as Gong Yu thought, there were more students rushing to take the exam in twos and threes. In the few chats, they inevitably brought up things about the exam.
But after listening for most of the day, Gong Yu felt a little bored. The most things these people talked about were bragging to each other or being constantly modest. As for the conversation, there was basically no substantive content.
Now Gong Yu is a little impatient. None of these people's words have any real content. I don't know what they are talking about after talking nonsense for a long time. Could it be that if they brag to each other, others will do better in the exam?
Of course Gong Yu also noticed that those students who brag to each other, no matter how nice they say it or how much they admire each other, in fact, what they see in their eyes often does not mean that. Thinking of what his eldest brother once said
Gong Yu once again recognized the affair between scholars, and this was indeed what he saw in front of him. (To be continued)
