“Try to speak less and listen more later,” Gu Chengrui said after bringing the two of them into the residence.
He then looked at Gu Chengye. “If anyone is looking for trouble, if you can endure it, endure it. But if you can’t, don’t be afraid. To put it bluntly, we represent Consort Xian now.”
“Don’t worry, we won’t be angry about what happened before.” Gu Chengye nodded.
After a few years of living in the countryside, while his edges and corners had not been totally smoothed out, he was no longer young and impetuous.
Gu Chengsi nodded, too.
These days, he has followed Gu Chengye out many times. Some were kind to them, while others wanted to gain their favor.
Of course, there were also those who were full of malice towards them, and there were even those who slandered them.
This was the influence that the Gu family had left behind in the capital. In the beginning, he was indeed a little indignant.
However, the more he saw and heard, the more he became indifferent.
It was fine as long as they could get along, but if they couldn’t, it was fine as long as they stayed away. There was no need to be angry because of petty arguments.
Gu Chengrui nodded in satisfaction when he saw this. Then, he brought them to visit a few elders who had to be visited, such as his immediate superior.
After giving them a brief introduction, he brought them directly to Grand Scholar Sun, who was Sun Miaoke’s father.
“Chengrui? Do take a seat.” Grand Scholar Sun greeted him with a smile.
After all, he had saved his daughter’s life more than once. If it weren’t for Consort Xian, he would have treated him as his nephew.
Moreover, he was now the emperor’s favorite.
“Thank you, Uncle.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he called for Gu Chengye and Gu Chengsi to sit down and introduce them to Grand Scholar Sun.
After the Grand Scholar Sun learned of their identities, he looked at Gu Chengye in surprise. “I recognize Chengye. He’s much calmer than before.”
“Thank you for your praise, Uncle Sun. I’m old enough to not be so frivolous anymore.” Gu Chengye nodded.
“Good, good. Who hasn’t been young and frivolous? As long as your heart is clear, it’s better than anything else. Are you all here to participate in the exams?” asked the Grand Scholar Sun.
“Yes, I came to try, given the chance.”
The Grand Scholar Sun nodded in agreement. “It’s experiential learning. However, the last exam was delayed because of the disaster, so the competition for this exam will be even more intense. You must be mentally prepared.”
“We thought of that too. We’ll do our best. At most, we’ll wait for the next time.”
The Grand Scholar Sun nodded in agreement. “Good mentality. Don’t force it.”
The four of them started chatting, and Gu Chengye and Gu Chengsi knew that this was a rare opportunity.
Therefore, they deliberately shifted the topic to intellectual knowledge.
The Grand Scholar Sun was also a person who loved talking about that. The three were in an engaged conversation, and all Gu Chengrui could do was help them add some tea.
However, they soon attracted many students who were attending the wedding banquet.
Everyone surrounded Grand Scholar Sun and chatted until the auspicious time arrived before going up to watch the ceremony.
After the meal, the Grand Scholar Sun chatted with the students for nearly four hours before leaving in a hurry.
After returning to the residence, Gu Chengye and Gu Chengsi were still somewhat unsatisfied. Then, the two of them looked at Gu Chengrui. “We’ll be entering the examination hall the day after tomorrow. I wonder if we can arrange for another meeting with Grand Scholar Sun?”
“It’s hard to say. He’s the main examiner for this examination. I’m sure he’ll be entering the examination hall tomorrow.”
“That’s a pity.”
“Haven’t you guys visited quite a few teachers over the past few days? Why are you still so nervous?” Gu Chengrui suggested, “How about this? I’ll bring you there tomorrow morning.”
“It would be best if you could see him. If not, I suggest you sum up your gains over the past few days.”
“I’ll try my best to answer the questions that I know..”
