Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Eldest Uncle came to the third section of the family, Shao Liulang had also returned from college.
Hearing that Shao Yunduan and Oiao Xuan had gone to the Drovince, Shao
Liulang was startled at first and then got quite uncomfortable. He smiled. “Isn’t Fifth Brother studying? What was he doing in the province? And he was away for so long…”
He dreamed about going to the province. But he could not go there unless it was for the examination.
What were people like Shao Yunduan doing there?
Slightly startled, Eldest Uncle had no idea what his children were doing in the province.
They just went there and did not say anything. Eldest Uncle did not find it strange, thus did not ask. But when Shao Liulang questioned him about this, he staggered. “I don’t know, they can do whatever they want.”
Shao Liulang got up and said, “Then… I will go and speak with him.”
Shao Yunduan was just a Cultivated Talent who should go to the province next year. But he was there for so long. It must have been not just for shopping, but also to attend some events held by the colleges and poetry society, etc.
He might have bought some books home too!
The more he thought about this, the more Shao Liulang felt jealous.
He got really distressed again by the fact that he had not saved the Second Miss of the Qiao Family at that time!
But for Ms. Qiao, Shao Yunduan would not have gotten so lucky and had the chance to visit the province!
Shao Yunduan was not surprised by Shao Liulang’s visit.
Shao Liulang hit right on the topic after a few remarks.
“Fifth Brother, have you heard any news or bought any related books? I should have gone there with you and checked it out ahead of time!”
What he meant ahead of time was before the examination date.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan felt quite speechless. This man was not yet the Cultivated Talent, and the examination will not happen until Mid-Autumn Day. Was he so sure that he would become the Cultivated Talent for sure this time?
Even if he did make it, he would not have much time to read and review. Did he dare to do so within such a short while?
Shao Yunduan did not want to ponder over this question, thus did not say a word.
Shao Liulang could not help but ask sourly. “Fifth Brother, just tell me frankly. You must have visited some people during the days you stayed in the province, right? You visited some important people and heard some news too, right?” Shao Yunduan did not want to discuss this.
Thanks to Xie Jingrong and Yuezheng Xiao, he did have a good harvest during this trip and he got to visit many people. He also learned a great deal from those experienced figures.
Xie Jingrong even gave him numerous precious documents.
He could not tell the truth, feeling that Shao Liulang would get jealous.
He also hoped that Shao Liulang could achieve the goal he wanted to.
If he could pass the Cultivated Talent examination, he could definitely pass on some information to him, but not right now. “It was not very easy to meet those people…”
Shao Yunduan replied vaguely.
Shao Liulang felt much more comfortable and showed a smile on his distressed face.
He took it for granted that Shao Yunduan had failed to visit the scholars there, though he intended to..
