Chapter 132 No comparison, no harm
After Shen Wuji finished speaking, he saw that Gu Chan's face looked a little unhappy, so he immediately turned his head and winked at his son.
Shen Yao was also very capable. He quickly rushed to Gu Chan, and knelt down with his legs softened. "Second uncle, I, Shen Yao, will never forget your kindness! When I become successful in Kyoto in the future, I will never forget your cultivation."
"Oh! My dear nephew! You'd better get up quickly. I, your second uncle, can't stand it." Gu Chan was stunned. He quickly got up and hid aside, waving his hands upwards, signaling this thing to stand up quickly.
Shen Yao refused to get up and immediately kowtowed to her again, "Second Uncle, thank you for your cultivation. I have no way to repay you, so I can only kowtow to you a few more times."
"Oh my god! They are going to hang me up!" Gu Chan screamed in her heart when she saw this.
In front of the old man, she really didn't know what to do for a moment.
But it still makes people feel good to see this kind of person kowtow to you and call you so nicely.
Shen Sanfeng couldn't stand it anymore, staring at Shen Yao and yelling, "Get up right there, you worthless thing, why are you blackmailing me morally? She did her best to get this recommendation letter for our Shen family, she can recommend whoever she wants, is there any need for you to kneel down here?"
"Grandpa...I..."
"Get up. If you don't get up, I'll break your legs." Shen Sanfeng roared.
Shen Yao was so frightened that his neck shrank. He no longer dared to kowtow to Gu Chan and quickly stood up from the ground.
At this time, Shen Wuji became excited. He immediately reached out from his sleeve and took out a golden hairpin, and handed it to Gu Chan. "Second brother, this is just a small gift to show your respect. I hope you will accept it."
"Godfather, this..." Gu Chan looked to Shen Sanfeng for help.
Shen Sanfeng glared and said, "Just take it if I give it to you. We are all family, so why shouldn't we take it?"
"Yes, godfather." Gu Chan agreed and reluctantly accepted the gold hairpin.
Shen Sanfeng didn't give his son a chance to speak. He looked towards the front door and ordered, "Go, help the Third Young Master to the lobby."
"Yes, sir." A maid waiting at the door responded and ran away quickly.
After a while, the maid helped Shen Yang into the lobby.
Shen Yang had no idea what was going on, and asked in confusion, "Grandpa, why did you suddenly call me over?"
"It's like this. Now that you're alive, your health is slowly getting better. And your second uncle just happened to have a place for you to study at the Military Department in Kyoto, so I want you to come and try for it," Shen Sanfeng explained.
Shen Yang immediately looked at Gu Chan.
Gu Chan nodded secretly at him.
Shen Yang frowned instantly, thinking to himself that the Shen family would not tolerate him, and going to the Military Department in Kyoto for further studies was the only way for him to have a future. Once he achieved something in Kyoto in the future, he could completely break free from the shackles of the Shen family.
Thinking of this, he did not hesitate, and immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Grandpa and Second Uncle, for your appreciation. I will try my best to get it!"
"No, Dad! Are you crazy? He is a sickly man, what can he do in Kyoto? Do you still expect him to bring honor to our Shen family?"
"Yes, grandpa, maybe he couldn't stand the long-distance ride and died of illness on the way. Wouldn't that mean the admission document would be wasted?" Shen Wuji and Shen Yao scolded angrily. How could they just watch Shen Yang, whom they had always looked down upon, run out to snatch the admission document?
Gu Chan sat back in her chair and said very cleverly, "I think what godfather said makes sense. After all, there are only two of you grandchildren in the Shen family. Now, there must be only one copy of the recommendation document for each donor, so each family must treat it equally and let the younger generation of the family compete fairly."
"Yes, Gu Chan is right, that's exactly what I meant." Shen Sanfeng nodded affirmatively.
Shen Yao muttered angrily, "Then my father gave me the gold hairpin for nothing? Did I kowtow to him in vain?"
"You little rascal, did Gu Chan ask you to deliver the gift? Did she ask you to kowtow? Didn't you guys offer to deliver the gift and kowtow?" Shen Sanfeng was so angry that he slammed the table and glared at the father and son standing in front of him and cursed.
The two men lowered their heads after being scolded and dared not talk nonsense anymore.
Gu Chan was sitting nearby, and couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands and laugh.
She also wanted to say, "Yes! I didn't ask you to send me the gift, nor did I ask you to kowtow to me! You guys wanted to send me the gift, you wanted to kowtow, and I can't stop you."
Now that we have to compete fairly, what are you guys complaining about?
Shen Sanfeng said coldly with an angry face, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. Let's compete fairly now. The rules of the competition are very simple. I will give you a couplet and you will give you the second couplet. Whoever gives a neat second couplet will be recommended to study in the Ministry of War in Kyoto."
"That's right, why would I be afraid of a sickly person like him?" Shen Yao said angrily.
Shen Sanfeng glared at him and then started to ask questions, "Listen carefully, the first line of my answer is, a melodious song spreads to all directions."
"Oh grandpa, this is so easy! My answer to the second line is: the two girls are white and big." Shen Yao said this without even thinking.
"Hahaha……"
Gu Chan couldn't help it and burst into laughter on the spot.
Shen Sanfeng was so angry that he jumped up and rushed to Shen Yao, stretched out his hand to grab his ear and scolded, "With your condition, you still want to go to Kyoto for further studies? And you want two girls who are white and big? I ask you, where are they white and big? You are simply pissing me off to death."
"Ouch, grandpa, please be gentler, it hurts! I'm not right or wrong. The two girls have fair skin and big breasts!" Shen Yao was bent over by the pinching, and he explained while screaming in pain.
Shen Sanfeng was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped him in the face, knocking him to the ground instantly. Then he lowered his head and glared at him and roared, "Useless thing, it's simply a disgrace to the civilized world. Your mind is full of trivial matters between men and women. What are you capable of? Do you still want to study further? I think you'd better go and wash my toilet."
"Grandpa, you are biased. Yes, I admit that I am not right, but can this sickly Shen Yang get it right? You ask him to get it right! Can this sickly bastard come up with any good couplet?" Shen Yao lay on the ground, his face full of dissatisfaction, and began to attack Shen Yang frantically again.
Shen Sanfeng was so angry that he pointed at Shen Yang and yelled, "You answer me, and answer him right now."
"Grandpa, my answer to the second line is, 'The four seasons are distinct and all things come to life.'" Shen Yang said slowly while standing in place.
Shen Sanfeng was quite angry just now, but when he heard his second couplet, the anger on his old face instantly disappeared, replaced by a satisfied smile.
"What a great couplet, the four seasons are distinct and all things grow. The first couplet, 'spreading to all directions', has a far-reaching and grand meaning, while your second couplet, 'all things grow', expresses a magnificent and spectacular scene. The two correspond perfectly and are indeed a good match."
Gu Chan stopped smiling and sat aside clapping and praising.
She had to admit that compared to Shen Yao, the big fool, Shen Yang was indeed much more educated. The most important thing was that the boy was only eleven years old this year. If he could have a good learning environment in the future, his future would definitely be limitless!
