Chapter 897: Old Demon from Tian Shan
Xie Qiao was too interested in this Meng Yin.
When Jiang Jinlu heard Xie Qiao’s words, he sighed. “Senior Sister, why do you care about this? This is his business, what does it have to do with us?”
“There’s something wrong.” Zhao Xuanjing nodded, he said in a low voice, “Generally speaking, the seniors of the proud children will think of ways to get them to socialize and get to know famous people and dignitaries. The name of our teacher is known to the world. Since Meng Shisan respects our teacher, he naturally knows his abilities. In this situation… no matter what, he should get the grandchild to meet Teacher.
“No. 5, you’ve lived here for a month. Have you seen him?” Zhao Xuanjing asked again.
Xie Qiao thought it was really easy to communicate with Zhao Xuanjing.
Unlike this fifth junior brother who was so stupid that his brain was filled with lead.
Of course, he was not really stupid. It was just that his attitude was not right, so his brain could not keep up!
Jiang Jinlu felt wronged by the Crown Prince’s words.
His baby face was initially small, but when he put on a pitiful look, he looked more and more like a 13, 14, or 15 year old brat.
With this appearance, when he was 70 or 80, he would definitely be an old demon from Tian Shan.
“No… Teacher also asked before, but Old Master Meng said that his grandson is studying in the courtyard and that he would only get out after a year of seclusion. As his grandfather, he didn’t dare to disturb him, so we didn’t say anything.” Jiang Jinlu was much more obedient.
Xie Qiao rolled her eyes at him.
He was so obedient when talking to the Crown Prince, but he dared to lose his temper when talking to his eldest senior sister!
Little brat! Baby-faced coward!
“That’s the problem.” Xie Qiao sighed, she said to Xiao Yurong, “Eldest Junior Brother, if your son wanted to go into seclusion, would you choose to let him stay in or let him out to meet the guests?”
“Of course… to meet the guests…” Xiao Yurong was also embarrassed.
Although seclusion was a promise to keep one’s integrity, a person like their teacher would be missed for the rest of his life!
He could go into seclusion any time, but for a scholar, a person like their teacher, even if he were to see him from afar, he would have to rush to him without regard for his own safety.
“Also, that maid kept saying that this young master is smart and talented, and that Old Master Meng is prepared to get the him to take the imperial examinations. However, this person is already so old now, it’s not appropriate to suppress him any further. Don’t tell me he has to wait until he is 30 before he is allowed to take the examinations?” Xie Qiao added.
At this moment, Jiang Jinlu did not dare to lose his temper.
“That’s true. The imperial examinations are not something that can be done in a day or two. If you really have the intention, you should first take the examination for elementary scholar and high scholar,” Jiang Jinlu added.
“Yes, but Meng Yin is not an elementary scholar. He’s not even a student,” Xie Qiao added.
“Then could it be that he’s too stupid? Because there are too many praises for him outside, Old Master Meng is too embarrassed to let him come out to meet people. Is he afraid of losing the dignity of his family?” Jiang Jinlu added.
Xie Qiao nodded. “That is a possibility. It is fine to hide it from outsiders like us, but why do you have to hide it from your family? Does he have to hide it forever? If he really is a fool, they should slowly release him. They should even let him take over the business. It’s the same if they tell the public that they have a successor and don’t go for the imperial examinations.”
Jiang Jinlu fell silent.
His senior sister was right.
This Old Master Meng did indeed hide something from his descendants.
“But… Senior Sister, why do we care so much? Old Master Meng might have some difficulties. After all, we are outsiders, so it’s not appropriate for us to ask too much.” After Jiang Jinlu said that, he glanced at the Crown Prince and felt that his tone should be quite gentle.. He did not offend him, right?
