Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!
Chapter 65 Comfort [Thanks to "Shanwu" for the monthly ticket! ! ! ]
Gu Tingye's voice was so soft that Minglan couldn't hear it, but she could read his boundless loneliness from his expression.
Gu Tingwei was standing next to Gu Tingye. Hearing this, he carefully advised, "Second brother, actually, it doesn't matter if you don't make it. I'll accompany you to study for a few more years... For example, how many families like the Su family, where all three of them passed the exam? Most of them didn't. Didn't the Duke of Qi's family also fail? Princess Pingning used to burn incense at the Daxiangguo Temple and light lanterns at Baofan Tower. It was such a big deal. Now she's more embarrassed than our family."
Gu Tingye was sad, he left the crowd and sat down under a stone pillar: "I thought I was more ambitious than others, but it turns out that I failed the exam, and I am no different from those frustrated candidates."
Gu Tingwei said anxiously: "Second brother, you are the legitimate son of the Marquisate, how can you be the same as them!"
Gu Tingye hung his head dejectedly: "I am no different from them."
Gu Tingwei was so anxious that he squatted in front of Gu Tingye, holding his shoulders and looking into his eyes: "You are different from them! You are my best second brother, you just come to take this exam to save face! If you tell daddy a word, he will definitely ask the government to give you a job. If it doesn't work, there is still the family title. My eldest brother is in poor health and refuses to be adopted, so the title will definitely be yours in the future. Second brother, don't be sad, you have a bright future!"
Gu Tingye looked carefully at the pair of clear eyes in front of him, and a warm feeling rose in his heart. He pulled the corners of his mouth, forced a smile, and patted Gu Tingwei on the shoulder: "Good brother."
Gu Tingwei: "If you fail the exam once, there is always next time. You can definitely do it."
Gu Tingye: "I'm afraid time waits for no one..."
He turned his head and looked at the bustling Sheng family carriage. There, Changbai was chatting with a group of students with a solemn look on his face. Minglan and Rulan were standing beside Changbai, holding Changdong's hand, and greeting the other women in the family.
Qi Heng had already gotten off his own carriage and was walking towards the Sheng family's carriage.
Minglan saw him walking towards this side, turned to Rulan and said: "Fifth sister, I think the second young master Gu seems to have failed the exam. He is usually the closest to the second brother. Let's go and comfort him."
Rulan frowned slightly: "Why go to him? His family has a title, and the imperial examination is just a hobby. Why does he need our comfort?"
Minglan: "If he really didn't care, why would he suffer so much under Master Zhuang? He has worked hard for this exam for many years, and he must be sad and upset if he fails this time. We are classmates after all, and we have received so many gifts from him, so we should at least say a few words to comfort him, right?"
Rulan curled her lips and said, "Well, since he gave me such a big bead."
The two sisters pulled Changdong together and walked towards Gu Tingye.
"Changdong, Second Brother Gu didn't pass the exam this time. Can you comfort him later?" Minglan said to the six-year-old Changdong.
"Okay, Sixth Sister. Xunzi's "On Learning" says, 'Perseverance can carve gold and stone.' As long as Second Brother Gu perseveres, he will surely be on the list of successful candidates!" Changdong said word by word.
Minglan was shocked: "You have only been learning for a year, and your second brother has already taken you to read Xunzi?"
Changdong nodded: "I'm almost done reading."
Rulan took a deep breath and sighed that it was fortunate that she did not fall into the hands of her second brother: "If you continue to study this way, I'm afraid you will be able to pass the exam and become a scholar next year?"
Changdong smiled shyly.
The three of them were talking as they walked, and they didn't even notice Qi Heng walking past them. Qi Heng wanted to call them, but Chang Bai had already seen him from afar and waved for him to come over.
Gu Tingye looked up and saw Lianglan and Yidong walking towards him. He didn't stand up, but just leaned against the pillar and joked, "Are you here to laugh at me?"
Rulan smiled and said, "Why do you say that, Uncle Gu? Your literary talent is obvious to all. If you didn't make it this time, you will definitely make it next time!"
Chang Dong bowed respectfully to Gu Tingye and repeated the famous quote from Xunzi that he had just prepared. Gu Tingye narrowed his eyes slightly and said in amazement: "Your brother is really scary. You are so young, but you have already read Xunzi."
Several people laughed.
Minglan: "Mr. Gu, there are many paths in life, and the imperial examination is just one of them. With your character and talent, there are many choices. Don't get stuck in a dead end."
Gu Tingye looked at her deeply and asked, "Sixth Miss, are you sure that I will fail the exam?"
Minglan: "You know that's not what I meant. My fifth sister has already said that your literary talent is obvious to all."
Gu Tingye: "Thank you, Sixth Miss. I am just afraid that 'the days and months are passing by, and the years are not with me'."
If he fails the imperial examination this time, he will have to wait another three years. Can he wait? Can Minglan wait? And those wolves and tigers in the Gu family allow him to live for another three years?
Minglan: "Didn't Master Zhuang say that as long as you have perseverance, it's never too late to start. We all believe," she turned her head and glanced at Rulan, "one day, Master Gu will be able to soar into the sky."
Rulan nodded: "That's right! Uncle Gu, we all believe in you!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, they couldn't say too much to Gu Tingye. After bowing and saying goodbye, they returned to their own carriages.
Qi Heng and Chang Bai hesitated for a long time, and finally waited for Minglan and her two siblings to come back. After they got on the carriage, they walked up to them, saluted outside the carriage window, and said, "Fifth sister, sixth sister, Chang Dong, you are all here to show Chang Bai the list."
Rulan sat in the seat closest to the window and said with a smile, "Yes, Brother Yuanruo, my second brother made the list!"
Qi Heng raised his head and smiled, "I know. Congratulations to my two sisters! It's a pity," he lowered his head slightly, "It's a pity that I didn't pass the exam for the book we all studied together."
Rulan: "Brother Yuanruo, don't be discouraged." She turned her head and asked Changdong, "What did you just say?"
Chang Dong: "Perseverance can carve gold and stone."
Rulan: "Yes, as long as Brother Yuanruo perseveres, he will definitely pass the high school entrance exam next time!"
Qi Heng looked into the carriage: "Really? Does Sixth Sister think so too?"
Minglan sat in the innermost seat and nodded from a distance, saying, "Of course, Young Master Qi is very talented, and he will definitely pass the imperial examination in time!"
The haze on Qi Heng's face was swept away: "That's good, I will work hard."
Minglan: "Young Master, please don't stay out too long. It would be bad to keep the Princess and the Duke waiting."
Qi Heng turned around to look, and sure enough, everyone in the carriage of the Duke's Mansion was looking at him eagerly, and the horse in front of the carriage was already paddling its hooves impatiently. He said goodbye to the two of them in a hurry and walked back quickly.
Princess Pingning witnessed the whole process in the carriage. She only lowered the curtains when she saw Qi Heng walking back. She snorted and said to Duke Qi beside her, "The maids of the Sheng family are really amazing. Heng'er only said a few words to them, and she seemed to be alive again."
Duke Qi hurriedly lifted the curtain to take a look: "Sheng's? Does it look good?"
