 Chapter 439 Attitude Change

Most of the conversation at the dinner table was speculation about the exam questions.

Xie Yu remained relatively quiet throughout the meal, focusing on eating his food.

Similarly, Du Heng also kept quiet, always afraid of being called out by Dean Zhang to discuss the exam questions. As a result, he always eat very slowly, worried about being caught with food in his mouth when asked a question.

As for Chu Zhiwen and Chu Yonghua, they couldn't get a word in edgewise, being literate scholars themselves.

Chu Yonghua felt increasingly aware of the importance of education.

As for Chu Zhiwen, this was the first time he had experienced such courtesy from these educated individuals, all because of his son. His mood remained good throughout the meal, eating and drinking sparingly for fear of losing control and embarrassing himself.

Seeing this, Chu Yonghua also refrained from drinking too much.

But his mood was still somewhat gloomy, especially when he thought about his eldest son, Chu An who had stopped studying after failing the exams in his youth.

If his eldest son had become a scholar today, he would have had the opportunity to sit inside with them.

Although Chu An had volunteered to help serve the male guests, the bitterness, resentment, and self-doubt in Chu Yonghua's heart grew stronger as he watched the other scholars chatting away.

The meal ended with everyone in good spirits.

Afterwards, Dean Zhang was the first to leave. He was a strict person by nature, and the only reason he had attended today's banquet was because he valued Chu Heng as a student. In the past, he would only attend banquets hosted by the wealthy or the county magistrate, but never any others.

Xie Yu and Du Heng did not leave immediately.

Xie Yu rarely had the chance to go out and get some fresh air. These days, he had been studying at home every day and had some doubts. He wanted to discuss them with Chu Heng and would be going to school with him later.

As for Du Heng, he had managed to escape his father's grasp and naturally wanted to play a little longer.

Chu Heng escorted Chu Zhiwen and Chu Yonghua to the door.

"Father, Uncle, I won't see you off later. If you have any questions, we can discuss them when I get home." Chu Heng said.

Chu Zhiwen said, "It's okay, we're not in a hurry. You're going to school later, we won't bother you."

Hearing this, Chu Yonghua hesitated to ask the question he had in mind but ultimately didn't have the courage to ask.

Actually, he wanted to ask if there was hope for Chu An to study again and take the exams. But he hesitated to say it out loud because it felt inappropriate. This matter needed to be discussed with his eldest son, and whether he could pass the exams was uncertain.

"You can go, study hard." Chu Yonghua had to admit that he envied his third brother, Chu Zhiwen. He reached out and lightly patted Chu Heng's shoulder, saying no more.

Although Chu Heng was aware of what the clan leader was thinking, he had no intention of saying anything more. He never had a habit of giving life advice to others. How one chooses to walk their path is up to them and he didn't want to cause trouble by speaking too much.

Chu Heng nodded and went back to the hall to explain the situation to the other relatives and friends who hadn't left yet before returning to the private room to continue chatting with the scholars who were still there.

Ye Muyu had finished her meal and come out.

As soon as she came out, she saw that the remaining alcohol had been divided among the relatives in the room.

Seeing Ye Muyu come out, Qian stood up with a smile, took her hand, and said, "Muyu, thanks to you and Heng, us aunts can enjoy a meal at Fragrant Tower."

"That's right, in the past, I didn't even dare to think about it." Zheng, the wife of Chu An from the main branch, also smiled and echoed.
