I was a gentleman in ancient times

This was obviously not meant for them, and several people looked at each other in blank dismay.The four of them made an appointment together, and there was no one else.Could it be that this guy named Wei lost his mind and went crazy, why is he talking to himself?

"What are you talking nonsense about? Don't think you can pretend to be crazy and fool this matter away." Tao Yi can't understand his pretentiousness, do you really think they are fools?

Wei Su ignored them and stared at the low corner over there.

There was silence for a while, and after waiting for a while, a figure swayed in the corner of the wall. Several people widened their eyes and saw a person walking out.

Tao Yi was taken aback for a moment, stammered, and called out, "Seventh Brother Seventh?"

He didn't expect Seventh Brother to come too, he just secretly discussed to vent his anger for Seventh Brother, and didn't inform Seventh Brother, why would Seventh Brother come over?

Tao Jin glared at Tao Yi, then bowed to Wei Su, "Young Master Wei, forgive me, my younger brother is bothering you."

"Seventh brother? Why do you apologize to him? Do you know that he is going to take away your place in Yingyang Academy?" Tao Yi refused to accept, and opened his mouth to question.

"Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about in front of distinguished guests?" Tao Jin raised her hand and knocked on Tao Yi's forehead.

"It's not nonsense. Just now the surname Wei said that he will enter the Yingyang Academy in a few days. Why can he enter the Yingyang Academy? Isn't it the quota of our Tao family? Brother Seven, the Tao family will enter the Yingyang Academy this year. Such a quota is yours, and you can’t give it up!” Tao Yi was anxious, and quickly explained: “If Brother Seven doesn’t believe it, ask them, they have heard it with their own ears.”

Tao Jin frowned, and looked at the people behind Tao Yi. They didn't dare to face Tao Jin's power, but nodded obediently.

"It's nonsense! The Tao family's quota is not mine. As long as you work hard, anyone can compete for this quota. Mr. Wei is a guest specially invited by the fourth uncle. As the master, how can we act like this? Fourth Uncle's face is completely humiliated. If word of this gets out, will our Tao family still need to gain a foothold in Yingyang City?" Seeing them like this, Tao Jin became furious and scolded.

Wei Su looked on coldly, and was quite interested in seeing the behavior of the seventh son of the Tao family.

The juniors of the Tao family came to block him on purpose, and they already guessed that there must be some rumors and misunderstandings in it.When they made it clear that they came, as expected, they thought that they would occupy the Tao family's place to enter Yingyang Academy, so they came to him in a panic and drove him out.

This matter was circulated among the juniors of the Tao family in private, and Tao Jin, as the central figure in this matter, could not have been unaware of it.So, is it possible that these people were instigated to find fault?No wonder Wei Su treats the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.Wei Su is not a simple person, otherwise he would not be able to cover everything in later generations and get along well in the literati circle.

If this is the case, then it is impossible for the people behind it not to pay attention to this matter.

With that in mind, he quietly observed his surroundings.As expected, he noticed a figure swaying on the other side of the low wall, so he called out the real master with words.

After Tao Jin reprimanded them, he sincerely apologized to Wei Su.

Wei Su squinted his eyes, and being able to say these words, this person didn't look as bad as he thought, at least he was still a sober person.

"Actually, I also heard the rumors, and I just listened to them. I just thought that the ninth brother has always been close to me. If he takes this matter seriously, he will definitely stand up and defend me. This is why people should pay attention to their whereabouts. , I got the news today that they are coming here, so I knew something was wrong, so I hurried over." Tao Jin explained why she appeared here.

Wei Su just nodded, remained silent and didn't answer, and didn't know whether he believed what he said.Tao Jin glanced at Wei Su, feeling a little apprehensive. If the matter was not handled properly and word got to the ears of the Fourth Uncle or the Patriarch, they would definitely not be able to please them.

Tao Jin gritted her teeth and continued: "The number of places in Yingyang Academy is rare. The four major families in Yingyang City also allocate places based on their contributions. Each family can have up to three places. In recent years, the children of the Tao family have failed to live up to their expectations and have been on the decline. .By this year, there will be only one Tao family quota left, and the younger generations of the Tao family will naturally flock to it, and everyone yearns for it..."

Before he finished speaking, Tao Yi said dissatisfiedly: "Who dares to compete with Seventh Brother for this quota?"

"Shut up!" Tao Jin glared at him, and Tao Yi shrank his neck, not daring to speak any more.

Tao Jin turned around and said: "My talent and learning are not enough to enter Yingyang Academy. No matter how the Patriarch arranges, I have no objection."

The few people behind were frightened by Tao Jin. Tao Jin could be regarded as a rookie of Tao Jin's descendants, so they were all in awe of Tao Jin's descendants.

Wei Su looked him up and down, although Mr. Yunshui said that the younger generation of the Tao family did not have any outstanding talents.However, people carefully cultivated by a big family are still different. Even if they don't have much talent, they still have certain advantages in dealing with others.

"Why do you want to belittle yourself? The Tao family still belongs to the Tao family. Outsiders don't know how to fight, and don't bother to fight." Wei Su laughed.

Tao Jin raised her eyes abruptly when she heard the words, and bumped into Wei Su's smiling eyes.What did he mean by that?Will he use the Tao family's quota?

When he first heard the rumors, his heart tightened. Although there had never been an outsider occupying the Tao family's place, the story was well spread.If it wasn't for the Tao family's quota to enter the Yingyang Academy, how could the fourth uncle come back now, and brought a commoner back to the Tao family as a guest, and even the head of the family allowed him to go in and out of the library to read books at will.

Some of the younger generations of the Tao family complained for him, and some laughed coldly at him for fetching water from a bamboo basket.Although he didn't quite believe these things, he still raised his heart after all.

Just now, Wei Su also heard what Wei Su said about entering Yingyang Academy in a few days. If there is no quota for the Tao family, how could he, a commoner, enter Yingyang Academy?Tao Jin felt disappointed for a while, and couldn't figure out why the Patriarch made such a decision.

He had also heard that the reason why the fourth uncle left the Tao family was that it was different from the concept of future development of the entire Tao family.The head of the family still focuses on training the next generation of the Tao family, but the fourth uncle thinks that it is possible to train others to attach themselves to the Tao family and serve the Tao family.Now that the fourth uncle has brought people back, has he already implemented his plan?Is this person the talent chosen by the fourth uncle?Maybe the head of the family also agreed for the sake of the fourth uncle?Although he felt disappointed and complained, his childhood tutor still told him to pack everything up without showing any signs of happiness.

"What do you mean by Mr. Wei?" Tao Jin couldn't help asking.

"Literally." Wei Su smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Since the Tao family is doing their best to train you to be the successor of the next generation, you should have confidence. Improve yourself, no matter what happens , There is nothing wrong with the growth of one's own strength."

Although I don't know why such rumors spread, Wei Su squinted his eyes. Isn't this a good time to test the heart of a younger generation?To become the successor of the Patriarch, of course all aspects will be considered!

"Yes, kid, remember it!" Tao Jin realized something was wrong as soon as he said this.The person in front of him was obviously not much different in age from him, so why did he speak like an elder in the family, which made him convinced unconsciously.

His submissive attitude made the people behind him dumbfounded. Tao Jin was their role model after all, and his status as the successor of the next generation of the Tao family had long been tacitly understood by everyone.Not to mention the Tao family, but the entire Yingyang City, the children of several big families will be courteous when they meet.But today he was so courteous to a commoner, could it be some evil?

"..." Tao Yi was too shocked to speak.

Sensing the strangeness around her, Tao Jin blushed and bowed her head in embarrassment.Wei Su was amused, hey!It is not easy to get rid of the fault of being a teacher.

In order to ease the embarrassment, he waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yunshui and I have been friends for a long time, and Mr. Yunshui's nephew and nephew in his later life are just like my nephew and nephew. I just casually say what I like, and I hope you don't mind it. "

Fortunately, in this era, seniority is really more important than age.Regardless of age, as long as the seniority is shown, you have to follow.Wei Su said this because he didn't want him to have any psychological burden. It's perfectly normal for elders to persuade younger generations.

What Wei Su said is very true, Tao Jin naturally knows that fourth uncle often calls Wei Su a little friend, and treats him as a friend.In this way, he was indeed a generation lower, so the behavior just now couldn't be more normal.He breathed a sigh of relief, finally relieving a bit of embarrassment and discomfort.

Tao Jin cupped his hands and saluted, "Jin thanked Mr. Wei here."

Wei Su nodded, "It's getting late, since there's nothing else to do, let's go back!" After speaking, he left with his hands behind his back.

Tao Jin quickly moved out of the way, staring at Wei Su's back thoughtfully.If what Wei Su said was that he would not use the Tao family's quota, then how would he enter the Yingyang Academy?

Tao Yi didn't realize until now, this kid, this kid just pretended to be an elder and taught them a lesson?How dare he?And Seventh Brother's attitude is so obedient?

"Seventh Brother! How dare this kid take advantage... Seventh Brother, how could you..." Tao Yi was about to jump.

Tao Jin turned her head and grabbed his ear, "How did you teach you on weekdays? You forgot all the rules of dealing with people? Mr. Wei is a friend invited by the fourth uncle. How did the fourth uncle explain to you? How dare you come over?" Making trouble? Go back and copy the Tao family rules a hundred times!"

Whether today's matter is big or small, if it really spreads to the ears of the Patriarch or Fourth Uncle, they will all suffer a lot.

Tao Yi "ouch, ouch" covered his ears and screamed that it hurts, he couldn't figure it out, he was kind enough to stand up for Seventh Brother.Why Brother Qi didn't thank him, but wanted to teach him a lesson, he was really wronged.

Seeing his aggrieved look, Tao Jin sighed and let go. There was really nothing he could do about it.
