After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 261 You're Stupid
Patriarch Zhang felt that his mind was not quite up to par.

He pondered it carefully for a while and felt that Su Wenheng was probably praising Liu Tian.

It is said that Liu Tian possessed the talent of a top scholar and was the reincarnation of the God of Literature.

He was simply unwilling to accept that such a gifted talent should appear in his Zhang family, so he deliberately said those things that slandered his Zhang family to vent his dissatisfaction.

No matter what, it can't change the fact that Zhang Tian is his biological grandson!
The old patriarch Zhang immediately became smug.

"Isn't Lord Su's statement a bit too unfounded?"

"I'm not so confused that I can't tell who my real grandson is!"

"In that case, Lord Su, you'd better not speak carelessly in the future, otherwise, if others hear it, they'll probably laugh at you!"

He looked at Su Wenheng coldly: "But it's no wonder. Although Lord Su has a wealth of knowledge and ambition, unfortunately there is no one to carry on his legacy."

"It's normal that a family without a strong foundation can't understand how a prestigious family like the Zhang family, with its deep-rooted heritage, maintains such a strict set of etiquette and rules."

The old patriarch Zhang, not to be outdone, used the fact that Su Wenheng had no son to mock him.

"If he is truly a member of your Zhang family, then this is indeed a misfortune."

Su Wenheng looked like he had no desire to say anything more to Patriarch Zhang: "Today, just pretend I was never here. Farewell!"

"You stop!"

The old patriarch frowned: "Explain yourself clearly before you leave!"

But Su Wenheng would never listen to him.

Are you waiting to be exposed if you don't leave now?
Su Wenheng left without looking back.

The old patriarch Zhang tried to give chase, but couldn't catch up at all. He could only vent his anger by uttering a few unpleasant curses. The Prefect of the Capital Prefecture waited a moment before entering, feigning surprise: "Eh? Why isn't Lord Su here?"

Then, he looked at the old patriarch Zhang with a smile: "Did you just reach an agreement with Lord Su?"

The old patriarch frowned.

Have you reached an agreement?

What to talk about?
As soon as the man surnamed Su walked in, he started yelling at him, calling him a rat, and then left inexplicably.

The Prefect of Jingzhao acted as if he knew nothing, smiling and congratulating him. He added, "When you hold the apprenticeship banquet for Young Master Zhang in the future, please give me an invitation so I can share in the joy."

"What apprenticeship ceremony wine?"

The old patriarch of the Zhang family frowned: What is the Prefect of Jingzhao talking about here, so incoherently?

The Prefect of Jingzhao then belatedly asked, "Ah? Didn't Lord Su just come to tell you, sir, about taking Young Master Zhang as your apprentice?"

After he finished speaking, he ignored the shock of the old patriarch Zhang and continued, "I originally thought that Master Su's students were all top three because of his effective teaching methods, but now it seems that's not entirely true."

"However, Lord Su's judgment of people is quite accurate. He said that those people he mentioned have the talent to be the top scholar, and they really are the ones who have the strength to compete for the top scholar title."

"Now that Lord Su has made a firm prediction that Young Master Zhang has the talent to be the top scholar, it is likely that among those who will pass the special imperial examination this year, Young Master Zhang will be one of them!"

Upon hearing the words "addition of special examinations" again, the old patriarch Zhang's expression instantly changed.

"Is the imperial court really planning to establish a special imperial examination?" His expression became much more serious.

The Prefect of Jingzhao immediately feigned having said something wrong and tried to cover it up: "That's not necessarily true. Aren't there rumors like this every year? It might just be talk, and there's no real intention to increase it."

However, the old patriarch Zhang felt that if the Prefect of Jingzhao said so, there was a high probability that a special imperial examination would indeed be held this year!
