Chapter 436: Eavesdropping at the Corner (1)_1
After seeing Jeng Ruyue, Liu Siqi returned to the main hall and started chatting with a few men.
The two older cousins had their fill of the younger one and were driven out by Zhao Suxin for being too loud.
Liu Zhiguang noticed that his parents were busy talking inside the room and didn’t have time for him, so he pulled Xia Zheng aside without another word and started to roll up his sleeves and tug at his trousers, gesturing as if he was going to fight.
Xia Zheng was speechless, but compared to his too serious and staid second older cousin, he actually preferred this brash oldest cousin, and so he assumed a stance and exchanged a few moves with him.
No matter how disinclined Xia Zheng was to martial activities, he had still received systematic training, and was certainly not someone Liu Zhiguang could beat with his blind flailing. In just a short time, he had worn Liu Zhiguang out, who then collapsed on the ground, sitting there without any decorum, lifting his top and fanning himself with the hem.
Liu Zhiyang shook his head, unable to bear the sight of his big brother in such a state and turned to Lin Yuan to strike up a conversation.
"I went to the town school for an examination a few days ago."
Lin Yuan arched an eyebrow, hearing about it when Aunt had come last time; Liu Zhiyang’s head worked fast, and he loved studying, so she was sure he could pass. Although after what happened between the Lin Yongcheng brothers and Meng Liangdong, Lin Yuan didn’t have the best impression of that school, but there was also Ma Junying, a refined young master from the same place. Perhaps her second older cousin could be like a lotus rising unblemished from mud.
"You’ll definitely get in, second older cousin."
