Chapter 439 Change of mentality
What is said at the dinner table is the guesswork about the exam questions.
Xie Yu didn't talk much the whole time, and was eating food seriously.
Like him, there is also Du Heng, but Du Heng will always be called by Dean Zhang to ask questions, so that every time he eats, he takes a very small mouthful, worried that there will be food in his mouth when asked by the master. It's embarrassing.
And Chu Zhiwen and Chu Yonghua couldn't get in the way, after all, they were a group of literate scholars.
Chu Yonghua felt helpless, and became more and more aware of the importance of reading.
As for Chu Zhiwen, this was the first time he felt the politeness of these scholars towards him, and it was all because of his son, who was in a good mood. He ate and drank all the time, and rarely stopped drinking, for fear of losing his temper and losing face when drinking.
Seeing this, Chu Yonghua didn't dare to drink too much.
But the mood is always a little gloomy, especially thinking of the eldest son Chu An, who had studied when he was young, but finally stopped studying because he failed the exam.
If today’s eldest son is a child, he is also eligible to sit inside.
Although Chu An offered to help entertain the male guests, seeing the other students talking, the sourness, unwillingness, and self-doubt in Chu Yonghua's heart became more and more intense.
A meal is a feast for the host and guests.
After the meal, Dean Zhang was the first to go back. He has a rigorous temperament. He was willing to come to the banquet today because Chu Heng is a student he valued. Except for the banquets that he would attend, he was never seen.
Xie Yu and Du Heng did not leave immediately.
Xie Yu rarely came out to get some air. These days, he was studying at home every day, and he also had some doubts. He happened to ask Chu Heng to discuss it, and he would go to school with him later.
Du Heng escaped from his father's claws, so naturally he played for a while longer.
Chu Heng sent Chu Zhiwen and Chu Yonghua to the door.
"Patriarch, Dad, I won't see you off for a while. If there is any problem, I will talk about it when I get home." Chu Heng said.
Chu Zhiwen said: "It's okay, it's okay, we're not in a hurry, you're going to school later, we won't bother you."
When Chu Yonghua heard this, he hesitated to ask, but he didn't have the nerve to ask.
Actually, he just wanted to ask, if he sends Chu An to study again, there is hope for the exam, but after thinking about it, he was a little embarrassed to say it.
Besides, it is a little inappropriate to say it out. No matter what, this matter still needs to be discussed with the eldest son.
As for whether he can pass the exam, no one can say for sure.
"Go ahead and study hard." Chu Yonghua had to admit that he was envious of his third brother Chu Zhiwen. He reached out and patted Chu Heng on the shoulder without saying much.
Although Chu Heng is aware of what the patriarch thinks, he doesn't intend to talk too much. He has never had a hobby of giving advice on life. How he walks depends on himself. Why should he talk too much to cause trouble.
Chu Heng nodded, and went to the hall again, and after explaining the reason to other relatives and friends, he re-entered the private room and talked to the students and others who hadn't left yet.
Ye Muyu had already finished his meal and came out.
As soon as she came out, she saw that the relatives in the clan had already divided up the remaining wine.
Seeing Ye Muyu coming out, Qian Shi was the first to stand up with a smile on her face, pulled her and said, "Mu Yu, thanks to you and Ah Heng, we aunts can eat the food of Piaoxianglou."
"Isn't it? I didn't dare to think about it in the past." Zheng Shi, the daughter-in-law of Chu An in the big house, also responded with a smile.
