At that time, she was very calculative about gains and losses. Later, because of her grandmother's silent correction, she changed. When others were sincere, she was willing to give them her sincerity. When necessary, she could also give them her sincerity first. However, if she did not receive a response, she would not hesitate to take it back. It could be seen that she was still more rational than emotional. If it was her family and friends, there might not be any problems. However, if it was a man, then she would probably never taste the taste of true love. It seemed that she was already deeply in love, but once the other party had a change of heart, she could say, "Since you are heartless, I will end it." If she could take it back just like that, was that still love? True love could last for a long time, but it could also go crazy without hesitation. When it was broken, one would want to redeem it. In short, there were inextricably linked. It couldn't be cut off completely just by pulling out a knife.
Jingwan felt that it would be very, very difficult for her to truly fall in love with a man.
Jingwan was deciding Chen Zhengmin's future with her grandmother.
In Madame Luo's opinion, as long as they decided, it was enough. She did not think that Chen Zhengmin or her third brother would oppose. This was the mindset of most people. After all, her daughter was marrying into a lower family. Whether it was the family style or the girl herself, there was nothing to be picky about. What reason did they have to disagree?
Jingwan, on the other hand, did not have such a domineering thought. Who knew if the other party had a girl he liked in his heart before he came to the capital, and was just waiting for him to pass the imperial examination and return to marry her grandly? It was actually very easy to find out whether he had a girl or not. If there was a girl, she would definitely not agree to the marriage. Although strictly speaking, there was no such thing as a mistress in this world. Concubines, concubines, and tongfang were all legal.
On the other hand, Chen Zhengmin was in deep trouble. Last time, when his granduncle gave him pointers, he was quite appreciative of him and said that he would definitely pass the exam. His attitude seemed strict, but was actually gentle. This time, Chen Zhengmin broke out in a cold sweat. The questions in the books were getting more and more difficult and more and more difficult. When he solved the questions, although he was a bit stumbling, he still managed to answer them. Even if it was not the best, it was just passable.
Current affairs and policy were terrible. No matter how knowledgeable he was, to put it bluntly, he was just a teenager. Although he was not "ignorant of outside affairs and only focused on reading books" and had learned a lot from his grandfather, his understanding of national affairs was still limited. How could he compare to a veteran who had been immersed in officialdom for decades? Especially when he had decades of experience as an official? It was like an ant and a tree. Chen Zhengmin had seen many past exam questions. Even the Palace Examination was definitely not this complicated and profound. He complained in his heart. Granduncle, aren't your expectations a bit too high?
How could he know that previously, he was treating his old wife's grandnephew, so he naturally felt that he was outstanding enough. But now, he was facing his future grandson-in-law. If he wanted to marry his beloved granddaughter, even the top three were far from enough.
When it was time for lunch, Chen Zhengmin was finally released from the study. He felt like he was about to collapse.
Even if he could not answer, Luo Peishan would not reprimand him. His bearing was still self-restraint, and he would only look at him lightly. Chen Zhengmin only felt that this gaze was even more unbearable than a scolding. But thinking about the benefits of this suffering, Chen Zhengmin braced himself and endured it. If there was a next time, he would not turn back and would not have the thought of avoiding it.
Luo Jingbo saw that he looked like a frosted eggplant and was extremely surprised. "What's wrong?"
Chen Zhengmin wiped his face and forced himself to be alert. "Nothing."
But no matter how he looked at it, it did not look like nothing was wrong. Thinking about his grandfather, Luo Jingbo naturally guessed the reason. "Grandfather is a bit strict. He treats people like this, but he rarely says a word to outsiders."
Chen Zhengmin nodded in deep agreement. He believed that he was not good enough.
After lunch, they chatted casually, digested the food, and rested for a while. Luo Peishan dragged Chen Zhengmin to the study alone. It looked like he was going to spend most of his lunch break on him. This was a privilege that the children and grandchildren of the Luo Family did not have.
Luo Jingbo automatically went to Jingwan's place to learn painting.
Just painting was very simple for Luo Jingbo, but he was far inferior to Jingwan in terms of the layout of the painting. Moreover, he was not as agile. Although Luo Jingbo had seen Jingwan's completed paintings, this was the first time he had seen the painting process. Seeing how relaxed and casual she was, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration. This sister of his was indeed extraordinary.
Fortunately, Luo Jingbo was not a rotten wood when it came to painting. His foundation was also good. However, when he saw his sister's hundreds of paints, he was amazed and envious. "Little sister, grandmother is really biased towards you." His tone was quite bitter.
Jingwan smiled proudly. "Can't help it. Grandmother likes me."
Luo Jingbo had not reached the point of competing with his biological sister for favor, but he still had the urge to vomit blood. Not to mention that his fourth sister and the others were jealous of her, he also wanted to beat her up. However, not to mention that hitting people was not what a gentleman should do, if he dared to touch her finger, his grandparents and parents would definitely crusade against him. If he did not handle it well, he would be punished by the family law and thrown into the ancestral hall.
The difference between fine brushwork and freehand brushwork was naturally not small, but it was not difficult to really understand how to paint. However, many things were the same. It was easy to learn, but difficult to master.
Speaking of the three brothers, Luo Jingbo, Luo Jingming, and Luo Jingbo, they were all now scholars. Although they would not participate in the examination this year, their standards were not inferior to Chen Zhengmin's. They were very clear about the reason why their grandfather suppressed them, so they did not complain. For the sake of the Luo family, it was worth it even if their grandfather would have passed away and they would not have such a good opportunity. However, Luo Peishan's concept was that even if there was help, he could not completely rely on it. He had to rely on himself. Don't think about relying on the influence of your ancestors. Instead, think about supporting the entire Luo Family for a long time to come.
If the three brothers could pass the examination in the same year, the status of the Luo family would definitely rise to another level. A family with strong descendants and slightly weaker ancestors was more valuable than a family with strong ancestors and no successors. It was more worthy of being roped in. Not to mention other things, the choice of the Luo family's girls in marriage would be more than one level higher. Unfortunately, it was not the time for the Luo family to be in the limelight.
The three of them may have different temperaments, but they had one thing in common. They had inherited Luo Peishan's perseverance.
Although Luo Jingbo was usually a bit sloppy and occasionally not in tune, when he really calmed down to study, you would not find the slightest bit of impetuousness from him.
It was said that people who were serious looked the best, regardless of gender. Look, Jingwan's maidservants, especially those who were not brought by her from Qi 'an prefecture, seemed to be a little moved.
Jingwan looked at their innocent performance and was quite happy. However, it didn't matter if they secretly took a few glances. If they really had thoughts that they shouldn't have, even if it was the four head maidservants who had a deep friendship with her, she would never agree to it.
