Chapter 660: Chapter 662 What Should We Do
"Extra! Extra!"
"Big news, big news."
Zhao Guangran ran in excitedly after playing outside, "Bro, Ni Zi, you know what, there’s some huge news."
Huge news? Hearing Zhao Guangran say that, they didn’t even lift their eyes, just continued reading.
As for Zhao Xuran and Gong Ruwen, they were also uninterested, just continuing whatever they were doing before, not one of them would put down their tasks to listen to what he was talking about.
"Hey, you guys." Zhao Guangran was really half-dead with anger from these people, truly giving no face at all. "Is it easy for me to gather news outside?"
"I went through a lot to get this news, can you all give me a little face?"
"I know I got everyone excited for nothing before, but this time I guarantee it’s real big news."
"And such exciting news too."
Zhao Guangran really felt wronged. The news he was bringing this time was absolutely thrilling, but no matter how he flaunted it, not one person cared, they all had an attitude of ’say it if you want, don’t if you don’t want to.’
Seeing the three in front of him continue to be uninterested, despite his reluctance, Zhao Guangran still said, "Did you know? Zhuge Mingshan is also reading the Compendium of Materia Medica."
Huh, what, Zhuge Mingshan is actually reading such a complicated thing? Even Gong Ruini stopped reading, and both Zhao Xuran and Gong Ruwen stopped drawing, all looked at Zhao Guangran in surprise.
"This news is shocking, isn’t it? I didn’t believe it myself either." See, just knew that hearing this news, nobody could remain unmoved.
"It is quite shocking, but why would she read that book?" Gong Ruini really didn’t understand why Zhuge Mingshan would read it, "Isn’t she focused on becoming a great lady?"
"How could she think of reading a medical book? Could it be that recently Grandpa Ge’s attitude toward her wasn’t good enough?" Gong Ruini remembered that some time ago, Zhuge Zhi ran into Zhuge Mingshan when he went out. The latter greeted him very sincerely, but unfortunately, Zhuge Zhi acted as if he didn’t see her and just walked right past her.
One could say he gave her no face at all. With such an attitude, how could Zhuge Mingshan not be nervous? She’s focused on pleasing Zhuge Zhi to get some benefits.
"But can she really learn it now?"
"Does she think that memorizing the Compendium of Materia Medica will make Grandpa Ge agree to take her as a student?" Gong Ruwen had never memorized something so specialized, but there was a set of such books at home, which he occasionally looked at.
But just by looking at it a bit, it really made Gong Ruwen dizzy. The difficulty is not ordinary, and he truly doesn’t know how she would complete such a hard task.
"Grandpa Ge probably wouldn’t take her as a student." Although they still didn’t know why she suddenly wanted Zhuge Zhi to take her as a student, there must be some external reason; otherwise, why would she decide to learn now?
"I don’t know, but it’s said that quite a few people in the Zhuge family, as long as they’re not too old, have started to read this book." Zhao Guangran continued to drop a big bomb.
Really? Gong Ruini was stunned. A lot of people are reading this book? There must be a reason.
Gong Ruini hadn’t heard that those people loved studying much. Previously, when they mentioned the Zhuge family, they would say it’s a scholarly family. But does anyone still say that now?
It’s mainly because everyone knows that among the younger generation of the Zhuge family, there’s hardly anyone noteworthy or even good at studying.
Currently, it’s Zhuge Zhi who supports the façade of the so-called Zhuge family. Once he passes away, it won’t take long for the Zhuge family’s prestige to plummet, and maybe in another 20-30 years, the so-called Zhuge family will become completely inactive in Beijing.
"But if they love learning, it’s a good thing." Gong Ruini didn’t think highly of them, but standing on the Zhuge family’s territory, one shouldn’t just know to mock and say those fools, those idiots could mess this up.
Anyway, as long as they continue to not love learning, at some point, their reputation will be utterly stripped away. By then, the days waiting for them are bound to be very happy.
"Right, why would they read this? But if they love learning, I think Grandpa Ge would be very happy." Gong Ruwen still thinks Zhuge Zhi would hope that his clansmen have a good life.
Idiot, idiot, Zhao Guangran really wanted to curse, "They’ve changed, becoming all studious, what about us, what about us?"
"We just continue." Gong Ruwen really didn’t understand why Zhao Guangran was so excited. "Grandpa Ge won’t chase us away anyway."
"Besides, we’ll also continue to tutor Ban Xia and others." Was Zhao Guangran worried that Zhuge Zhi wouldn’t tutor Gong Ruwen anymore?
Sigh, watching Gong Ruini, who was still trying to console Zhao Guangran, not to be angry, she really wanted to laugh. Her own big brother really was cutely lacking in understanding.
Is he worried about this? Her two younger brothers might not be well-liked, but they’re extremely smart. Without any unusual circumstances, Grandpa Ge wouldn’t stop teaching them, but the key issue is...
Sigh, how could Zhao Guangran say it? He couldn’t possibly say that if Zhuge Zhi didn’t see the efforts of those clansmen, maybe he’d give more to his brothers.
But that really couldn’t be said, saying it would make people look down on them.
Zhao Xuran, seeing his little brother clearly have something to say yet not daring to, patted his shoulder, "Some things need Ban Xia and the others to fight for themselves."
"What Grandpa Ge teaches them is the greatest wealth." Zhao Xuran doesn’t think those now studying the Compendium of Materia Medica would truly learn anything substantial; they might still be foolishly annoying in various ways.
"And only through comparison can you know who’s clever." Zhao Xuran doesn’t believe these people would be a match for his own brothers.
"Perhaps they’ll quarrel amongst themselves, maybe they won’t even need our brothers to intervene, and they’ll already be in chaos among themselves." Although the main enemies at present were his two brothers, wouldn’t they also take the opportunity to stab their so-called allies?
Insightful, worthy of being a future domineering CEO, he pinpointed their problem with a glance; rather than panicking oneself, it’s better to wait for them to turn on each other.
"Let’s continue with our plan, and if they really have any arrangements, they’ll come to us." There’s no need to watch what they’ll do, and no matter how much noise they make, it depends on whether Zhuge Zhi will stand with them.
Will Zhuge Zhi stand with them though? Zhao Xuran wasn’t very optimistic.
Zhuge Zhi hadn’t considered these issues at all. He was really shocked to find those young people seriously studying the Compendium of Materia Medica. "What are they planning?"
One or two reading it would be fine, but so many people reading it surprised him. "At first, I told them to study, and they were all unwilling, why today..."
Zhuge Zhi couldn’t understand why it was happening, but he was sure, "They must have their own plans."
