After she finished speaking, she didn't even look at Mei Xiaoqin's expression, feeling both disdain and ridicule in her heart.
I'm afraid that in the eyes of the Mei family, Mei Yuanqing is a peerless genius, and there is nothing he can't do. How ridiculous.
Without her help and planning in his previous life, if Mei Yuanqing wanted to sit in that position, he would have to start working hard from the generation of his ancestors of the Mei family.
In Ci'an Hall, Mei Yuanqing brought Brother Cheng back with some dejection. He sat down with a serious face and said nothing.
Mei's mother noticed something was wrong and asked, "What's going on? Didn't you take Brother Cheng to some teachers to take the exam today? What was the result? Did the teachers all like Brother Cheng and compete for him?" ?”
Mei's mother was full of confidence. In her eyes, Mei Yunli had been smart since he was a child, let alone reading. Her son Mei Yuanqing was born as a well-known number one scholar, and her grandson could be no better.
She was still dreaming about the prosperity of the Mei family. Mei Yuanqing suddenly shouted angrily: "Evil son! You have completely embarrassed me today! At your age, you can't even recite the Three-Character Sutra, and you don't know the deep meaning. , what kind of books are you reading! You are not even as good as a three-year-old child!"
After Mei Yuanqing finished speaking, he was so angry that his chest heaved violently. His face turned red.
Thinking of the fact that he went there confidently today, many people who had entered the imperial court and became officials came with their descendants to become his disciples.
I thought Brother Cheng did an excellent job on his homework and studied very seriously. He is also very smart and smart, and he will definitely stand out and come out on top. In the future, they will be the top scorer in the examination, so that their Mei family will have the reputation of being the top scorer, both father and son.
As a result, the teacher asked many questions in succession, but he couldn't answer any of them. In the end, he couldn't even learn the most basic Three Character Classic! In the end, he was almost kicked out.
Mei Yuanqing took him to see several teachers, but none of them agreed to accept it, and their attitude did not give the Mei family any face.
He was almost disgraced!
There are many people present, and tomorrow this scandal will spread throughout the capital.
How will he face it then?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Mei Yuanqing's face turned livid, her lips turned white, and she wished she could slap him.
After running for a day, my feet were lame.
Seeing that his father was extremely angry, Brother Cheng felt aggrieved and afraid, and hurriedly hid behind Mei Mu.
Crying: "Grandma."
Mother Mei was heartbroken when she saw him like this, and she quickly put him in her arms and coaxed him softly.
When he stopped crying, he turned to look at his decadent son, frowned and said, "What will be the outcome of today? With so many teachers, we can always hire one."
Mei Yuanqing picked up the tea cup at hand and drank it all, with a look of dejection and loss on his face, "I took him to visit all the teachers today, and no one was willing to accept Brother Cheng. The last one even met him. They all refused to see me. The servant told me that the quota was already full, so he excused himself and disappeared."
Mei's mother was surprised. No matter what, her son was born as a top scholar and now he is also reporting to the Hanlin Academy. How could these people not give him any face?
She thought about how her grandson had no teacher and how her son had lost face. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She yelled hoarsely, "It's so unreasonable! You actually don't take my Mei family seriously!"
What Mei's mother said was not what Mei Yuanqing was thinking.
He sighed, looked at Brother Cheng who was shrinking his head in Mother Mei's arms with a heavy look, and said in a low voice: "You have done well in your homework in the past, and your handwriting has your own style early on. Why are you doing it today?" It’s completely different from the past.”
Although he had some guesses in his mind, he still asked reluctantly.
Brother Cheng opened his mouth, his face turned pale, tears rolled in his eyes several times, and finally flowed out.
A pair of white and delicate little hands almost tore the luxurious clothes on his body.
"Your homework wasn't written by you at all, right?"
Brother Cheng lowered his head in embarrassment and nodded gently after a long while.
Mei Yuanqing was really angry now. The son he thought was extremely smart in the past turned out to be all fake! He picked up the tea cup at hand and wanted to smash it, but Mei Mu hugged him tightly and wouldn't let go.
He said urgently: "If you want to beat him today, you have to beat me too! I will never allow you to beat my precious grandson!"
Mei Yuanqing squeezed the tea cup in her hand tightly, and after a while, it hit the small table with a "bang" sound.
Seeing him like this, Mei's mother breathed a sigh of relief and comforted her: "Brother Cheng is still young, very playful, and not sensible yet. You just need to teach him well. Who's child is not playful? Besides, he is just a child. , He can't learn well, that's why the people who taught him in the past didn't care." He sighed, "This is not my mother, she is just different."
Mei Yunli was a little sad after hearing this. He missed his mother.
He misses the days when he was in the yard with his mother and father. Although the life back then was not as luxurious as he lives now, his mother loved him and his father was tolerant. Never like now...
Thinking of this, he pursed his lips and tears fell down.
That pitiful look made Mei Yuanqing lose a lot of his energy.
However, Mei's mother made up her mind, thinking that Wei Jingwei must be careless about upbringing. Otherwise, with her grandson's intelligence, how could he not find a teacher?
She turned around and told the maid next to her, "Go to Hongxia Courtyard and be sure to invite the lady here in person."
The maid wanted to say that it was getting late, but when she saw the old lady's livid face, she could only swallow the words that came to her lips.
In Hongxia Courtyard, Wei Jingwei had taken off her hairpin, put on her regular clothes and was getting ready to go to bed.
Hearing the maid's voice, Su'er came out and whispered: "Miss Ying'er, is there something urgent? If not, our wife has already rested. Let's talk tomorrow."
Wei Jingwei's temperament has changed a lot these days, and she is not as easy to deal with as before. Ying'er also gave Su'er some face, and said in a good voice: "Sister Su'er, the old lady and the master are waiting for me at Ci'an Hall right now. If it weren't for that, , I won’t come to disturb Madam’s rest. Please let me know.”
Su Er frowned, but went anyway.
Wei Jingwei in Hongxia Courtyard felt a little confused after hearing Su'er's message.
She put on her cloak and came out.
"Ying'er, what on earth is going on?"
Ying'er quickly told what she knew today vividly, and finally added: "Madam, please come with me quickly. The old lady is probably still furious at this moment."
Wei Jingwei frowned after hearing this.
This brother Cheng was more useless than she expected.
As soon as she followed Ying'er into Ci'an Hall, she saw Mei's mother sitting at the top with an angry look on her face.
After saying hello in a low voice, she asked Mei Yuanqing before Mei's mother could say anything, "Didn't even Mr. Kang agree?"
Mei Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "I didn't agree."
Wei Jingwei lowered her head and murmured: "That shouldn't be the case. Mr. Kang, my Wei family, and the Liu family are all old. If it weren't for rotten wood that cannot be carved, we would not let Brother Cheng live."
