Qi Ting’s first thought when he saw Gu Dajiang was—Is there something wrong with this person’s brain? Why did he bring his entire family with him when he came to study? And he’s carrying a daughter in his arms?
What Qi Ting didn’t know was that if not for Gu Dajiang’s strong objection, the people who came today would probably have formed a football team.
He sized Gu Dajiang up from head to toe for a while. He didn’t expect the little girl in Gu Dajiang’s arms to suddenly make a face at him. She rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue. Coupled with her chubby face, it was simply… painful to the eyes.
Qi Ting quickly shifted his gaze and raised his chin slightly as he asked, “I heard that you were recommended by Qin Wenzheng?”
“Yes.” Knowing the other party’s identity, Gu Dajiang didn’t leave. He took this opportunity to chat and treat it as getting to know his classmates in advance.
“I heard that you haven’t even passed the county examination. You’re not even a Preparation Scholar?”
Gu Dajiang thought for a moment and said, “That’s not right. It’s not that I haven’t passed the county examination, but I haven’t participated in it.” “Why haven’t you? You’re already so old, did you never find a chance? Could it be that you’ve done something in the past and can’t participate?”
Gu Dajiang frowned. Before he could answer, a cold voice came from the door. “Qi Ting, don’t be rude. Who taught you to be so impolite and aggressive?”
Hearing the voice, the expressions of Qi Ting and the other students behind him instantly changed, and they all lowered their heads.
Gu Dajiang and company turned their heads and saw an energetic man in his fifties walk in.
Immediately after, Qi Ting and the others greeted respectfully, “Mountain Elder.”
So this is Mountain Elder Qi? Gu Dajiang put down the girl in his arms and hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting. “Greetings, Mountain Elder Qi.”
Mountain Elder Qi glared at Qi Ting before saying to Gu Dajiang, “Zicheng, there’s no need to be so polite. I didn’t teach them well and made a fool of myself.”
“Mountain elder, you’re being too serious. It was just a joke.”
The mountain elder glared at Qi Ting again. The latter suddenly trembled and hurriedly apologized to Gu Dajiang. The other students also apologized one after another. They were very polite.
Gu Dajiang naturally wouldn’t fuss over it. Seeing that Mountain Elder Qi had already sat down, he took out Qin Wenzheng’s recommendation letter and introduced his wife and daughter.
Mountain Elder Qi opened the recommendation letter and read it. He nodded slightly and said, “Wenzheng has already told me about your situation. Although I believe in his judgment, we can’t skip the assessment. You know this, right?”
“Yes, I understand. Please give me the question.”
However, the mountain elder took a sip of tea with an enigmatic smile on his face.
Qi Ting was very familiar with this smile. He knew that his grandfather was going to have another bad idea.
Aiya, this was his favorite.
Originally, Qi Ting wanted to leave. After all, his grandfather would settle the score later. But now, he couldn’t bear to. He wanted to see Gu Dajiang make a fool of himself.
If he didn’t leave, the other students naturally wouldn’t leave either. They were still curious about how the mountain elder would test the new student.
Indeed, after a while, Mountain Elder Qi put down the teacup in his hand and smiled. “Do you think that I’m going to test the contents of the books?”
Gu Dajiang was stunned. “The mountain elder means…”
No way, he had really read a lot of books.
The mountain elder waved his hand. “Don’t be nervous. It’s not a difficult problem.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Yundong and then at Madam Yang. Then, under Gu Dajiang’s puzzled gaze, he slowly said, “There are a total of three questions. Let’s start with the first question.”
