Meng Wenhao had just followed Li Zexuan into the front hall of the West Courtyard when he smelled a faint fragrance of spices. Following that, he felt a trace of refreshing coolness. He looked around and found that there was actually a basin of ice placed in each of the four corners of the room. Above the wooden basins, there was still a trace of cold air. Meng Wenhao couldn't help but sigh in his heart at Li Zexuan's extravagance.
This was the first time he entered the Li Residence's interior. (When he came to the Li Residence before, Li Zexuan received him in the pavilion in the courtyard.) He couldn't help but take a few more glances. There was a large chair made of lacquered red peach wood, a few seats that were relatively simple but still couldn't hide the magnificence of the carved materials, a small square table with a porcelain pot decorated with flowers and birds, and a few small porcelain cups with the same flower decorations. A table, a chair, a table, and a stool, the furnishings were ingenious. The entire room revealed a sense of luxury and nobility.
"Haha, sit! Sit! "
Although Li Zexuan didn't stare at Meng Wenhao, he had been paying attention to him from the corner of his eyes. He came to the vermillion chair at the head of the hall, sat down, and laughed.
"Thank you very much, Sir!"
Stimulated by the fragrance of the spices and the coolness of the ice, Meng Wenhao's heart gradually calmed down and wasn't as flustered as before.
"Here, let me tell you a piece of good news first. Congratulations on getting 101 points in this month's examination, first place in the entire academy!"
Li Zexuan didn't beat around the bush at all and directly said.
"Ah ~?"
The main reason Meng Wenhao came today was to inquire about the results of this examination. Although he felt that this examination was not bad, and he was lucky enough to get first place, but when it really came down to it, he realized that he was not mentally prepared in this aspect at all. Hearing this, he could not help but be stunned. Immediately after, he was hit by such a huge surprise that he almost fainted. His lips trembled a little. He wanted to say something, but nothing came out. His young heart was like a pot of fire that was burning up, hot and warm.
Li Zexuan smiled and didn't say anything to interrupt. He just leisurely drank his wine while waiting for Meng Wenhao to wake up from the surprise.
Meng Wenhao took a few deep breaths and suppressed the fanatical excitement in his heart. He looked at Li Zexuan and asked, "Sir, when you were outside the door, you said that you had something to do with me. Is it about this?"
"Yes!"
Li Zexuan said casually.
Meng Wenhao choked for a moment and then asked, then asked, "Sir, if I remember correctly, this is the total score of the monthly examination, should be 100 points. But why did I get 101 points? Could it be that you have remembered wrongly? "
"Haha, of course!"
Li Zexuan smiled and then went to the back room to take out Meng Wenhao's test paper. He said, "I think that you answered the last question very well. Your thinking is very comprehensive. Of course, you wrote two answers in the end, which also shows that you are very courageous! In the last question, in the whole school, there are only five people who can consider the cost of labor. Not only did they consider the cost of labor, but you were also the only one who came up with the correct answer! I calculated that there are a total of ten people who answered the last question correctly. Except for you, the other nine people all answered 197, and your answer was 197 or 200. Wenhao, your thinking is very comprehensive. What's commendable is that not only can you ask questions, but you also have the courage to put it into practice. I admire you very much, so I gave you an extra point. Anyway, I'm not afraid of you being proud! Haha! "
In his previous life, there were two correct answers to the last question of the monthly exam. The only point of contention between the two answers was whether or not the thirty copper coins that Boss Wang should have received from this transaction should be included in the loss. The various experts on the internet all had their own opinions, each saying that they were right, while the other saying that they were right. In order to avoid a debate, when Li Zexuan set the question, he simply decided on two answers. He didn't expect Meng Wenhao to be so daring as to write down both answers. Li Zexuan admired this courage from the bottom of his heart. After all, if he were in Meng Wenhao's shoes, he wouldn't have dared to play around like this.
"So that's how it is …"
Meng Wenhao suddenly understood and muttered to himself. After he handed in the test paper yesterday, he regretted it for a while. He was afraid that because of his meddling, he wouldn't get a point for the last question. He didn't expect that in the end, he would get an extra point.
Li Zexuan laughed and said, "Haha, Wenhao, don't be so agitated! Since you were lucky enough to get first place in this monthly examination, what I said before still counts. After classes officially start in two days, I will announce this time's results to the public. At that time, you can bring your family to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. Feel free to order whatever you want to eat. I'll treat you! "
"Wow! Little Xuan, you're treating! Then I want to go too! "
At this moment, Cheng Chumo's voice came from outside the room. Following that, they saw this fool swagger in, followed by San Bao, who had a bitter expression on her face.
San Bao pointed at herself and was about to explain something when Li Zexuan waved his hand and laughed. "Alright, you don't have to explain. I know! You can leave now! "
How could he not know Cheng Chumo's personality? Other than the first few times he came to the Li Residence and had someone announce his arrival, which other time didn't he swagger in directly? This personality that didn't know how to be polite was very similar to that little fatty Li Tai.
"Yes, Young Master!"
San Bao saw that Li Zexuan's tone was amiable and didn't seem to be angry. He heaved a sigh of relief and quickly left.
"Chumo!"
Cheng Chumo had taken care of Meng Wenhao in the School of Mathematics, so Meng Wenhao quickly stood up and greeted Cheng Chumo.
Cheng Chumo smiled and nodded at Meng Wenhao in greeting.
"Chou Niu, I haven't seen you come over to play recently. Why did you come over just because we talked about food?"
Li Zexuan joked with a smile. Ever since he started teaching at the Imperial College and became Cheng Chumo's teacher, this fellow didn't come over to play with him. Perhaps this was the natural fear students had for their teachers! Li Zexuan felt that it was a pity. Cheng Chumo was his first close friend after transmigrating. If he lost this friendship because of this, he would feel that it was a pity.
"Ahem! Who said that! I didn't come over to eat today. I just happened to hear it! "
Cheng Chumo explained awkwardly, then sat down on a chair beside Li Zexuan.
"Heh, tsk tsk, Xiaoxuan, the chairs in your house are still the most comfortable. It's a pity that they aren't sold outside. Otherwise, I would have asked my father to buy a set!"
This fellow leaned against the back of the chair and didn't forget to exclaim.
"Hehe, if Uncle Cheng really likes this chair, I can ask the workshop to make another batch. It won't take much effort! But it's only you who wants it, not Uncle Cheng, so I think we should just forget about it! "
Li Zexuan didn't want to alienate this friendship. He didn't put on airs in front of Cheng Chumo and spoke as casually as before.
"Xiaoxuan …! You're not a good friend! "
Cheng Chumo said angrily.
"Haha, alright, let's get down to business. Chou Niu, why are you here today?"
Li Zexuan laughed and asked, no longer teasing him.
"What else can I be here for? I'm just here to ask Old Cheng how he did in the exam and whether he would enter the Roll of Shame. "
Cheng Chumo sat up straight and looked at Li Zexuan.
Although Cheng Chumo didn't care about his results, he didn't want him to enter the Roll of Shame and embarrass the Cheng family!
