Chapter 507: Wang Wulang Failed
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Hearing his Grandma’s praise, Wang Erlang immediately felt that he should work harder and become a top scholar. He might even receive a few more words of praise from her at that time.
Wang Sanlang was also happy. Although his ranking was only in the twenties, he had passed at least.
Their eldest branch could be considered a scholarly family.
Madam Feng also hid at the side and secretly wiped her tears.
Originally, Dalang could have taken the exam too, but he had just gotten married and needed to think about his family. He couldn’t be distracted. This time, only Dalang did not take the exam.
Madam Feng also felt terrible. Which mother did not want all her children to live well?
Qu Shuqiu patted her shoulder and handed her a handkerchief. “Third Brother did very well. In the future, our child can learn more from their Third Uncle.”
These words pleased Madam Feng.
Qu Shuqiu was not embarrassed at all. When he heard this, Wang Dalang’s ears turned red.
They had only been married for less than a month, but his wife was already thinking about children?
It was too early.
He still wanted to follow his wife and live an easy life for two more years.
Old Madam Wang did not announce the last spot directly. Instead, she asked the remaining Wang Silang and Wang Wulang, “Who do you think the last spot belongs to?”
Wang Silang scratched his head. “It should be Fifth Brother’s. Usually, the teacher always praises Fifth Brother more.”
Wang Silang knew this very well.
Wang Wulang chuckled and even comforted Wang Silang. “Fourth Brother, don’t be discouraged. You didn’t pass this time, but you’ll definitely pass next time. In two years, you’ll be able to get first place. How cool would that be!”
Seeing the two of them like this, the Wang Family also laughed.
Only Little Ah Yu muttered, “Generally speaking, things are the other way around.”
In the storyteller’s stories, most of the arrogant people had an even worse fate than the humble people.
This was what it meant when things get too extreme, they will naturally reverse or balance themselves out.
“You’ve thought it through well.” Old Madam Wang did not say if their guess was right or not. She only handed the scroll to Wang Wulang.
Wang Wulang took the scroll and was still comforting Wang Silang, who could not help but feel disappointed. “Don’t be discouraged. When you take the exam next year, I’ll accompany you outside. You’ll definitely do better, so…”
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Wulang’s expression froze.
This was because when he opened the scroll, he was shocked to see that the name was not Wang Zizhao, but Wang Zilang.
Qing Feng Ming Lang Zhao Jun Lan. Those were the first names of the seven of them.
He was the fifth brother and his name was Wang Zizhao.
Wang Zilang was naturally Wang Silang.
“How could this be…” Wang Wulang felt like he had been struck by a bolt from the blue.
How could it be that he was the one who failed?
He had answered all the questions and felt that the article he submitted this time was better than anything he’d written before.
How could he not pass?
“You don’t even know if you’ve passed or not, yet you’re showing off there.” Only then did Old Madam Wang start mocking him. “You’ll continue to study in Qingmu Academy for the next two years. No, you’d better go back to the village to study. Learn well from Teacher Luo and Teacher Wan. Liulang will be with you. If you don’t pass the exam next time, you don’t have to study anymore.”
In their family, no one was allowed to fail more than three times.
If they could not pass the literary examinations, they would be sent to take the martial arts examinations in the future.
But, there was no need to tell them this now.
Wang Wulang was deeply affected, and he melted like a frosted eggplant.
Little Ah Yu saw that he had been dealt too heavy a blow. She did not even eat much for dinner and stayed by Wang Wulang’s side.
“Fifth Big Brother, are you alright? Don’t take it too hard.” Little Ah Yu’s teeth were still leaking. She had to close her mouth after saying two sentences, but she still accompanied Wang Wulang and comforted him with her heart..
