Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

As soon as Tang Zhixian saw his aunt's appearance, the joy of winning the lottery disappeared without a trace in an instant.

To be honest, every time he sees his aunt like this, he feels depressed. If it weren't for the fact that the other party is his biological mother, he would really not want to deal with such a person who complains all day long.

——It's normal for Tang Zhixian to feel depressed, because no one likes to deal with people who have negative energy all day long. After all, who wants to see such a person nagging and ruining a good mood when he is in a good mood?

After listening to Aunt Cai's words, Tang Zhixian said: "It should be that the second brother performed exceptionally. When he left the field, he said that he performed well this time."

It's hard for him to tell. The second brother usually lets him go in order to prevent him from being criticized by Mr. Tang, right? So I can only say this. Fortunately, when someone congratulated the second brother just now and asked him how he did so well in the exam, the second brother said the same thing. It was not that he made it out of thin air.

When An Ran came out of the arena, she said that she performed well. She was prepared to surpass Tang Zhixian in the ranking. After all, if others would find it strange then, she would say that she performed exceptionally well, and others would not be surprised either.

But Aunt Cai still felt dissatisfied and said: "He can perform beyond his normal capabilities, why can't you perform beyond his normal capabilities? You were much smarter than him when you were a child!"

Tang Zhixian said: "Maybe my second brother didn't learn well when he was young, so he couldn't learn well. Now that he has learned more, he can learn faster."

This kind of thing also happens. Some children were confused when they were young and never learned well. But when their brains understand, they learn better.

"You always make excuses! Why don't you tell me why you didn't do as well as that little...Tang Anran?!"

Aunt Cai was originally upset and wanted to call An Ran a "little bastard", but seeing her son's ugly eyes, she swallowed the word "little bastard". However, she did not call the second young master An Ran, but only called him by his first name. .

Listening to Aunt Cai's confusion, Tang Zhixian felt a little tired and stopped talking, just staring at Aunt Cai.

Aunt Cai was stunned by Tang Zhixian's eyes and couldn't help but said angrily: "If you don't answer my words, why are you looking at me like this!"

Tang Zhixian said calmly: "I was just thinking that I have passed the exam and my ranking is very good. If I want to leave it in someone else's house, I'm afraid my parents will be extremely happy. Why is it that when I get to my aunt's place, I am not only unhappy but also boastful about it?" I just said a few words, but you accused me like this and poured cold water on me when I was the happiest? If my aunt was dissatisfied with me, and I left home to study abroad and was not in front of my aunt, maybe my aunt would not have these complaints. "

This was not because Tang Zhixian wanted to scare Aunt Cai, but that was what he really thought in his heart.

This home was so depressing that he really didn't want to stay any longer, so he just wanted to leave, leave this depressing environment behind, and go outside to take a breath.

Aunt Cai could tell that Tang Zhixian was not lying, but that he really had such a plan. She couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. She understood that her son was angry. If he was really unhappy, he would throw away his hands and leave. , then who will she rely on for the rest of her life?

So at that moment, Aunt Cai did not dare to continue pushing. Instead, she laughed and said, "How could I blame you? You won the prize. It's too late for me to be happy. I'm just a mother. Naturally, I hope that my children will be better." First floor, so I saw Tang Anran ranked third in the exam, so I would nag a few words. Since you have worked hard and only got this ranking, then so be it, my aunt will not blame you."

Tang Zhixian saw that Aunt Cai had stopped nagging, and then turned and left.

Unlike Aunt Cai who scolded Tang Zhixian, Mrs. Tang was so happy that she couldn't help but smile from ear to ear when she saw An Ran coming back after dealing with the congratulatory people. She then took An Ran's hand, smiled and said, "My son , you did really well in the exam this time. It seems that you have been studying very seriously recently. Mom is very happy that you can study so seriously."

She also knew that An Ran could only get about the same as Tang Zhixian in the test. This time, she was ranked higher than Tang Zhixian. It was either because her daughter performed exceptionally well or she had studied hard recently and made progress, or Tang Zhixian did not perform well.

However, she would rather believe that her daughter has studied hard and made progress, rather than believe that her daughter has performed abnormally, or that Tang Zhixian has not performed well. After all, if that were the case, wouldn't it mean that Tang Zhixian and her daughter should have passed the exam at the same level? She also hopes that next spring her daughter will still be like now, ranking higher than Tang Zhixian in the exam, so she would rather believe that her daughter's studies have improved recently.

An Ran said: "I have always studied seriously."

"Yes, yes, of course my dear baby works hard." Mrs. Tang held An Ran's hand, as if she couldn't finish watching.

Now that An Ran has done so well in the exam, Mrs. Tang will naturally say whatever An Ran says.

An Ran felt a little creepy when she saw Mrs. Tang's enthusiastic smile. She knew that if she didn't pass the exam, the other party wouldn't be so enthusiastic and would probably scold her. Even if she was like the original person, even though she passed the exam, she would be worse than Tang Zhixian. She did poorly in the exam, and Mrs. Tang was not so enthusiastic.

She secretly thought, just like Xiao Yue said, Mrs. Tang has too high expectations for her daughter. Now she is pushing her daughter to compete with Tang Zhixian in the imperial examination, and in the future she will push her to compete with Tang Zhixian in officialdom. Anyway, there will always be competition. At that time, this was me. I had experienced many worlds and had a strong mental endurance. If it were someone else, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to bear it. It's also a shame that the original person survived all these years and didn't collapse. But from the original person Judging from her memory, she was actually on the verge of collapse, so when it was revealed that she had disguised herself as a man and she was sentenced to beheading, she was not particularly painful. Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief. She probably felt that she was finally free. Although the original person wanted to help her mother and become Mrs. Tang was the pillar of support for Mrs. Tang who had no son, but this belief gradually became unsustainable under Mrs. Tang's heavy expectations again and again, and it was normal for her to want to be freed.

So although she was not scolded by her mother like Tang Zhixian, the nature was actually similar, and they were both stressful.

After the Tang family's carnival, Mr. Tang's homework requirements for Tang Zhixian and Tang Anran became even stricter.

"You both did well in the exam, and you are very likely to pass the Jinshi exam next year, so from now on, you can't delay and study your homework more diligently." Mr. Tang told An Ran and Tang Zhixian.

Naturally, the two of them could only think peacefully, should they pass the Jinshi exam this time, or should they pass the exam next time? Because if he really passes the Jinshi exam this time, his path after entering the imperial court will be different from before. After all, he was the one who passed the Jinshi exam three years later.

However, after seeing Mrs. Tang's earnest eyes, An Ran thought, let it take its course. If you can pass the exam, just take the exam. If you can't, just do your best. Don't think about whether it will be different from the original person. , I can’t learn from my original experience.
