Chapter 204: Chapter 103: Big Sister’s Husband Feels Jealous

Shi Fenghua laughed again and praised, "Second Brother Sang is indeed humble and truly broad-minded, which is highly admirable! I would like to toast Second Brother Sang once more!"

"Brother Fenghua, you are too kind!" Sang Yufei hurriedly raised his glass with both hands and said with a smile, "Brother Fenghua is a prominent scholar and a disciple of Mr. Mei, your learning and character are truly superior! Our conversation just now reveals your exceptional ability. If Brother Fenghua doesn’t mind, shall we find an opportunity to have a deeper exchange sometime soon?"

"Certainly! I was just having that thought! Second Brother Sang, you must teach me a lot!" Shi Fenghua was instantly delighted. In three generations of the Shi family, he was the only one who excelled in studies, so the pressure he carried was immense. Guidance from someone who has had proven success could surely be beneficial.

Mrs. Wang, who understood only half of what they were talking about, brightened up when she heard her son asking Sang Yufei to teach him more and Sang Yufei agreeing. Delighted, she urged everyone to eat and warmly invited Sang Yufei to visit their home more often, making the mealtime exceptionally lively.

Ren Zhixian, seeing everyone revolving around Sang Yufei and recalling how lightly Sang Yufei had dismissed his earlier remarks without seeking his advice, felt deeply offended. Hmph, such disrespect towards his senior! Moreover, he wouldn’t necessarily agree to teach just anyone, and this young man’s ignorance was truly irritating!

Ren Zhixian was extremely indignant and couldn’t help but cough lightly before asking Sang Yufei, "By the way, do you know what the topic for this year’s rural examination was?"

Although Sang Yufei was puzzled as to why such a question was raised at the dinner table, since it was asked, he didn’t feel good about not answering and thus replied with a smile.

Ren Zhixian couldn’t help but slap the table and sighed with great regret, "So the topic this year was that simple! Ah, what a pity! It would have been great if I could’ve taken the exam! Such an easy topic, achieving a high rank would have been no challenge! Too easy! By the way, how did Brother Sang write his essay?"

Despite his patience, Sang Yufei felt uncomfortable with such remarks but reluctantly smiled and was about to briefly describe his essay when Shi Fenghua laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, let’s not talk about this over dinner! How about this? Let’s have Second Brother Sang write down his essay, and brother-in-law can write one on the same topic. We can all review and discuss them together. I would also love to read Brother-in-law’s great work!"

Shi Fengju couldn’t help but glance at his younger brother, chuckling inwardly at how even his mild-mannered brother was starting to speak sharply.

Unfortunately, Ren Zhixian did not catch the sarcasm in Shi Fenghua’s suggestion and, feeling secretly pleased, thought that Shi Fenghua was genuinely seeking his guidance. Ren Zhixian thought this younger brother-in-law of his had more tact than the Sang family members and eagerly agreed with a proud glance at Sang Yufei: "Brother-younger’s idea is exactly what I was thinking. I would indeed like to learn from Xie Yuangong!"

"Oh, let’s talk about this topic another time! Come, let’s eat!" Second Master Shi said, clicking his chopsticks. Everyone chuckled and stopped that topic.

Ren Zhixian subconsciously straightened up and disdainfully glanced at Second Master Shi, thinking, "What does this crude man know, indulging only in birds and fish, diminishing his ambition?"

After the meal, everyone sat in the flower hall, enjoying tea and conversation. Soon, Second Master Shi and his wife took their leave, and Mrs. Wang, after a lively day, was also tired. Thus, everyone began to say their goodbyes.

Ren Zhixian, inexplicably enthusiastic, insisted on inviting Sang Yufei and Shi Fenghua to visit his study in the banana garden, and they, unable to refuse, reluctantly agreed to go.

"Isn’t the arrangement of my study decent? How about it? Could it be described as ’elegant’?" As they entered, Ren Zhixian immediately began boasting, nodding his head and reciting several self-composed fitting verses, thoroughly pleased with himself.

What could Sang Yufei and Shi Fenghua say? They could only accompany him with a smile, agreeing that it was nice, yet both thought to themselves: This isn’t even your home, and the study isn’t owned by your Ren family. Where does your pride come from!

"Hehe, setting up this really didn’t take much of my effort!" Ren Zhixian laughed heartily, then told Shi Fenghua, "This is what a real study looks like. Studying and writing here truly suits the environment, allowing one’s mindset to remain calm and focused. You should know that the environment has a significant impact on one’s studying attitude! Younger brother, when I’m free, I might as well help you redecorate your study too!"
