Chapter 252
When Xiao Cang heard this, he was like, “Oh! This is bad food!”
I was so anxious that I couldn't suppress my emotions. "I've been waiting so long. You've been playing all these days. Are you really trying to hide from me? Song Guanzhou, I thought you were a heroine, but you're as timid as a mouse. It's really... really... hateful!"
"Xiao Cang!"
"Brother Cang!"
"Goro!"
Everyone shouted in unison. Xiao Cang was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He stared at Song Guanzhou with narrowed eyes.
"You bastard, why bother competing? You are a man after all, but you are narrow-minded and mean-spirited all day long. How can you achieve anything if you act like this? Go back and kneel down for a night!" Xiao Du was so angry that he stood up and gave Xiao Cang a heavy blow, then grabbed the back of his shirt collar and was about to drag him out.
Upon seeing this, Mu Er hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to beg, "Eldest Young Master, please loosen your grip. The Fifth Young Master has no bad intentions, he just wants to compete with the Fourth Young Master's wife. You see he has been studying and practicing hard these days, and he is very serious about this competition..." Now seeing Song Guanzhou's disapproving and uninterested attitude, Mu Er knew that the Fifth Young Master must be unhappy.
He was small but smart. He knelt down and explained it clearly in a few words.
When Xiao Du raised his hand to hit him again, Pei An and Xiao Bei stopped him from both sides. Song Guanzhou then stopped joking and stood up with Xiao Cang, who was standing like a fire-breathing dragon, and said solemnly, "May I ask when will my uncle return?"
"It's said to be the day after Dragon Boat Festival."
Now April has reached its bottom and May is just around the corner, but there are only a few days left.
Song Guanzhou thought for a moment and said, "Then let's do it on May 3rd. It will take some time for Third Uncle to come up with the questions. Please give me some time to practice using the abacus, otherwise I won't be able to figure it out by that day."
At this time, Xu Lingbai was confused, and asked Xiao Bei beside him in a low voice, "Silang, do you know what they are going to compete for?"
"Math, please."
Xiao Bei held his forehead and smiled bitterly, "My fifth brother acted recklessly, I'm sorry to make you laugh, Brother Xu."
Xu Lingbai couldn't help being surprised, "Mathematics..., my cousin, could it be that she knows something about it?" If she was just good at calculating in the boudoir and calculating gold and silver, she probably couldn't compare with Xiao Cang, who was the accountant of the Xiao family.
Perhaps it was because Xu Lingbai looked too surprised, Xiao Bei smiled and said, "Brother Xu, don't underestimate my sister-in-law."
"..."
When Xiao Cang heard Song Guanzhou's response, he immediately asked, "You are not kidding me anymore, are you?"
"Of course not. Although I am a woman, I also know that once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back. What should we compete in? At that time, please ask my eldest cousin to discuss with my third uncle and make three copies of the questions, one for you and one for my third uncle, the examiner. How do you think?"
Xiao Cang snorted, "That's great!"
Seeing the two of them talking excitedly, Xiao Du quickly waved his hands, "Since I am going to be Cangge's writer, I won't get involved in setting questions. Silang and Guanzhou should avoid it. How about this, I ask the Lord to help and set questions together with Third Uncle?"
Song Guanzhou was delighted, "Great! Father is a general, and the military accounts are not to be underestimated. If you can find some that are related to the military supplies, it would be a great opportunity for us youngsters to see them."
Xiao Cang nodded.
"Thank you, Brother."
Pei An also laughed when he saw this and looked at Song Guanzhou, "What if you can't answer it?"
Song Guanzhou snorted, "The three armies haven't even set out yet, but Silang has already decided the outcome for me. This cannot be possible! I must not encourage others' ambitions and bring down my own prestige! Winning or not is not something I care about. My goal is to face the challenge head-on and kill your arrogance, Xiao Cang!"
Ouch!
Xiao Bei and Xu Lingbai looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. They laughed in unison, "Guan Zhou, it turns out that women are as courageous as men!"
Pei An waved his hand, "She doesn't know her limits now. If father and third uncle had asked the questions themselves, it would have been hard for Guanzhou to answer them. And since he's Cang's son, don't expect luck!" Of course, Pei Jian and Xiao Hongli were not ordinary people. Seeing that Song Guanzhou and Xiao Cang both had ignorant faces, Pei An laughed angrily, "Ignorance is bliss!"
Song Guanzhou thought of Xiao Hongyun and couldn't help asking, "Isn't my uncle good at mathematics?"
Pei An: ...You really don't know your place.
"Father and Third Uncle are enough to test you two, why do you need your eldest uncle to step in?!"
Seeing the lively conversation, Xiao Cang was still worried. He stepped forward to Song Guanzhou and confirmed again and again, "You will not pretend to be sick and hide away, right? I know you girls are always timid, but since you have agreed to this matter, you can't play tricks on your elders and me like this."
It is not unreasonable to say that Xiao Cang will not live long.
As soon as he said this, Xiao Du hit him with two heavy punches, which made Xiao Cang scream. He was not good at fighting, and could not stand the pain, so he shouted until he was hoarse. What kind of demeanor was there? He had none of it.
Everyone was in a state of confusion.
Pei An knew Song Guanzhou's personality, and couldn't help but speak for him, "Of course she wouldn't. Since she has agreed, she will definitely not break the promise."
Seeing this, Xiao Cang, who was still groaning, immediately wiped his tears and came back, "Song Guanzhou, I want to hear you!" Song Guanzhou snorted, "You keep asking me, are you afraid that I won't go, or are you afraid that I will go?"
"Of course I'm worried that you won't go. So..., fourth cousin, where are we competing?"
this--
After thinking it over, he could only say, "If we want to compare places, we can either go to Nuanfeng Garden where you live or Shaohua Garden here. It depends on what my father and two uncles decide."
Xiao Cang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the competition was settled.
With her hair crooked, she ignored the jokes of others and said, "Song Guanzhou, as long as you come to compete, I will admire you regardless of whether you win or lose. But if you don't come, I will look down on you for the rest of my life."
Haha!
Song Guanzhou rolled his eyes at him without hesitation, but unfortunately his myopia prevented him from seeing clearly. "I don't do things for you to see. Whether you look down on me or not, it doesn't affect my life in the slightest. Xiao Cang, I agree to learn from you only because I am curious about mathematics, that's all."
Of course, Song Ci, a social animal with a mostly utilitarian mentality, also wanted to use this competition to put himself in a higher position.
Xiao Cang was a man of action, and he urged Pei An and his eldest and fourth brothers, "Hurry up, hurry up, while it's still early, let's go find my uncle and third uncle and talk it out."
Pei An turned to look at Song Guanzhou, wanting to ask for his opinion, but Song Guanzhou waved his hand and said, "You guys can go by yourselves. I am not particular about winning or losing, but please ask father and two uncles to take the test as normal. Don't worry that I won't be able to do it. I think if it is as you said that day, then I have heard of it before."
In front of everyone, Pei An's eyes were shining, but only he knew it.
"Okay, just don't be arrogant and let down the elders."
Song Guanzhou looked up, his face calm and composed, "Silang, you should have some confidence in me."
"--good."
Xu Lingbai didn't want to go with them, but Xiao Bei pulled him along, "Brother Xu, let's go, it's not appropriate to review lessons at night. You and I are not much different in age, so we should spend more time together."
In this case, you must go to Zhengxian Pavilion.
