Xie Niushan gulped a mouthful of good wine. At that moment, he felt that the table full of good food was no longer fragrant.

Xie Pinggang was different. After hearing these words, he had already figured out that Xie Qiao was pretending, but he did not intend to stop her.

Since Master Mo was going on a long trip, his eldest sister would need to take care of the Fortune Pavilion. Perhaps, without Master Mo’s care, his eldest sister’s body would not be able to endure it. Therefore, he could not meddle in these trivial matters.

Also, Xiao Yurong was also going to leave.

In this way…

Teaching this kid a lesson in advance could also make him understand some things.

His sister was really quick-witted!

“Eldest Sister, I will study hard and practice martial arts! Just you wait. As long as you can come home, I can guarantee that you will see me becoming everyone’s pride!” Xie Pinghuai said quickly.

Once this impulsive mood arose, he no longer cared about his own strength.

“Really? Then... will little brother be able to pa.s.s the imperial examination next February?” Xie Qiao had a look of antic.i.p.ation on her face. “If I can survive this winter, then I will be able to get married in the beginning of spring. If we have two happy occasions in the family, that would be great...”

Xie Qiao blinked her eyes and looked at him happily.

“Eldest Sister... It’s not that I don’t want to promise you, and it’s not that I don’t have confidence. The main thing is... There’s no use in taking this exam, right?” Xie Pinghuai shook his head.

“How can it be... ahem, no use? If you have a t.i.tle, no matter how big or small, you’ll be a proper scholar. No one would dare to point fingers at you... Once you have a t.i.tle, you can move from the Begonia Courtyard to the s...o...b..ll Bush Courtyard, the Chrysanthemum Courtyard, or even the Peony Courtyard. The friends you make will be even better... Of course, if you don’t want to study literature in the future and are capable, then you can choose to go into either literal arts?or martial arts as you wish...” Xie Qiao’s voice was unhurried, it was as if she had a terminal illness.

Even if her younger brother did not have any achievements, he would not be too bad in the future.

However, with the protection of his family, how could he be better than her?

At the beginning, her eldest brother entered the capital by beating the barbarians and got an official position. Later on, after he was fired, he could still take another path and continue to rise.

In the end, her eldest brother was only able to make a comeback because he was capable.

She wanted to find a short-term goal for her foolish little brother so that he would still behave after a long time.

Xie Qiao’s speech was slow, and Xie Pinggang’s temper was quick. If it happened on a normal day, he would definitely be a little impatient after hearing these words. However, Xie Qiao looked like she was about to die, so he could not bear to be angry at her.

“You want him to take the imperial exam? Even a pig has a higher chance of acing the exam than him!” Xie Pinggang ridiculed at the right time.

“Eldest Brother, how can you doubt your little brother so much? He can do it. He’s smart and has been very diligent recently. It’s just an insignificant exam. It’s just a piece of cake for him! Am I right, little brother?” Xie Qiao’s weak face was full of joy.

Xie Pinggang felt a little embarra.s.sed.

The exam... was not easy.

He had heard a lot about it in the academy. There were many old men who could not pa.s.s the imperial exam meant for the younger generation…

So…

“You are his biological sister, so you are not rational enough. You can go to the academy and ask. Who would believe that a fool like him could pa.s.s the exam? Pa.s.sing the exam aside, even if he studies for a year or so, it would be more difficult than ascending to the heavens! If he can really pa.s.s the exam, I will lie on the ground and let him beat me up!” Xie Pinggang said casually.

His goal was very simple, which was to make him behave for a while.

As for the exam.... this idiot younger brother would not pa.s.s it anyway, so what he said was right!
