Chapter 937 Modesty
And eating Double Ninth Cake during the Double Ninth Festival is also a tradition.

Therefore, many people arrived at Qusongtan, found a place to sit down, took out snacks, and chatted and laughed with their friends around them.

By the time Qusongtan was already overcrowded, the Taixue students at the waterfall had already chosen the host for this time.

It really seemed like Chen Linzhi was talking about a person named Zhou Zeqi.

"Zeqi is No. 3 in the Jingzhou State Examination this week, so who is first and second?" Although Wen Wu is No. [-] and Wu Wu is No. [-].

But the imperial examination needs to determine the ranking.

"No. 1 is Qi Yue, the son of Dean Qi, and the second is Xie Sheng from the Xie family." As soon as Gong Yi asked a question, Zheng Tianyou was the quickest to answer.

"Dean Qi's son, like Dean Qi, doesn't like to appear in crowded places. He may attend private gatherings invited by individual friends, but like today, a free gathering of thousands of people, Naturally, he will not come."

"Although Xie Sheng is not as withdrawn as Qi Yue, he is modest. If he is recommended to be the host of a gathering, he will probably give in." So even if he comes.

Today’s host is not him either.

Just as Zheng Tianyou finished speaking, someone's voice came from above the small waterfall——

"Brother Zhou is very talented. It is natural that Brother Zhou will host such a grand event today. It is just a fluke that I got the second place in the Jingzhou Prefectural Examination."

Although we are all literati, we avoid disturbing others when talking to each other, but after all, it is a gathering of thousands of people. You keep your voice low, and I keep your voice low. Added up, the collective voice is still not small.

What's more, there is a small waterfall on the deep pool. Even though the waterfall is not loud, the sound of humility from above even covers the small waterfall and spreads to the bottom.

Lu Siming, Pei Yan, Chen Linzhi and others immediately disagreed with Xie Sheng's so-called modest temperament.

Zheng Tianyou also thought so, and quickly added, "Although Xie Sheng has excellent grades, his background is a bit embarrassing.

He is the son of the third eldest son of the Xie family. He was allowed to return to the Xie family because he was good at reading. "It is said that his mother is still a prostitute.

However, Zheng Tianyou himself was from a salt gang and was not from a wealthy family. His mother's background was not particularly important to his concubines.

He didn't mention the latter sentence.

But even if you don't mention it, in a situation where the aristocratic family attaches great importance to the distinction between concubine and concubine, the other party is not even a concubine.

Everyone can naturally guess that the other person's mother is not of noble birth.

In all Taoist circles, a mother is more valuable than her son, but in fact, it has always been her son who is more valuable than her mother. Otherwise, Lu's help would not have caused Lu Siming and Chu Qingge to owe a huge favor.

Although there is a phenomenon that mothers are more valuable based on their children, if you think about it carefully, the premise that mothers are more valuable based on their children is that the value provided by several mothers is about the same.

If not, a mother is always more important than a child.

After all, for rich and powerful people, it is too easy to have a child, even if they cannot give birth, they can adopt it.

"It seems that his background gave him a humble temperament." As the son of the Hou family, Pei Yan also knew the Xie family, one of the four major aristocratic families in the capital. "His two brothers are not so humble."

"Two brothers?" Gong Yi asked with a smile, "the two from the first and second bedrooms of the Xie family."

"Yeah." Pei Yan swallowed the cake in his mouth and then remembered that Lu Siming might not know about the Xie family, so he explained in detail.
