Originally, Mr. Niu said the second son had some talent. As long as he studied earnestly for some years, he could certainly become a scholar. Both he and his father asked Mr. Niu privately at the school.
Becoming a scholar isn't easy. He even heard that there were elderly men with white hair taking the exams! So, someone able to become a scholar after studying for a few years indeed had good talent, which he envied greatly!
Unexpectedly, his words pierced Gu Chengyi's heart, "Why is it? Since the fifth child became a scholar, even the eldest brother wants to cozy up? Surely, he can't step on his own brother to flatter others."
Gu Chengyi abruptly stood up, red-eyed, looking at Gu Chengli.
Gu Chengyu suspected he had taken the wrong medicine, snapping at everyone he encountered.
Gu Chengli merely expressed his true thoughts. What he stated was a fact; Xiao Bao also passed the scholar exam while studying in town.
