When the Da Mao brothers heard that their elders came to the capital to find wives for them, they suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Especially Simao, his face turned red, and he quickly jumped out and said: "Grandma, we are still young, how can we be so anxious about getting married!"

Old Lady Yang smiled slightly, waved her hand at Simao, and consoled him, "Grandma knows that you are still young, so I haven't planned to find a wife for you yet. This time I'm mainly here to look for your brothers."

After hearing this, Simao felt relieved. He patted his chest with his hand, took a long breath and said, "That's good, that's good. I was really scared just now. I thought you were going to find me a wife right now!"

At this time, Xiao Cao'er interrupted and said crisply, "It is indeed time for the three brothers to find wives. If you delay any longer, those good girls will be picked up by other families. But, fourth brother, although you are a little younger, you are not too young. Even if we don't find you a wife this year, will we not find one next year?"

Simao shook his head like a rattle and explained hurriedly: "No, no, I have to take part in the imperial examination next year. This matter is very important and cannot be delayed. If I see my wife at this time, it will definitely distract me and affect my test results." As he said this, he looked at everyone seriously, as if hoping that everyone could understand his thoughts.

"The imperial examination seems to be held at the beginning of the year, so just relax! We will definitely wait until you finish the exam before arranging a blind date for you, and it will definitely not interfere with your participation in the imperial examination." Yang Dashan said in a steady tone.

Although there are several children in the family who are devoted to studying and obtaining a good reputation, Yang Dashan and his wife have never had to worry too much about these matters. After all, all the children are very competitive and self-motivated, and have always managed their studies in an orderly manner.

However, the situation is different now. As the whole family has come to the prosperous capital, facing the unfamiliar environment and the upcoming imperial examination, parents can't help but feel anxious and nervous. In particular, they are particularly concerned about their son's path to the imperial examination.

Simao responded, "Even so, it's still too early! I'm only sixteen years old now. I plan to follow my elder brother's example and start a family when I'm that age."

"I am determined to study and pursue truth. At the same time, I also long to become a free and easy knight. I really don't have much leisure time to indulge in love affairs." After saying this, Simao couldn't help but recall the great dream he had in his childhood - to become a great scholar and a chivalrous man.

At this time, Xiao Cao'er, who was standing by, poured cold water on Simao mercilessly and said, "Fourth brother, in my opinion, given your current situation, it may not be easy for you to realize your dream of becoming a great scholar and a knight-errant."

Hearing this, everyone in the room looked puzzled and asked in unison: "Why do you say that?" For a moment, the whole room was filled with an atmosphere of curiosity and exploration.

Simao had two grand dreams since he was a child: to become a great scholar and to become a knight-errant.

Not only did the whole family know about this, but even Mr. Zheng, Zheng Huaming and Qi Xingyun knew it clearly.

I still remember that year, Mr. Zheng kindly asked the young Simao what kind of career he wanted to pursue when he grew up. Simao was fearless and shy at that time. He answered loudly in a childish but firm voice: "I want to be a great scholar! And also a knight-errant!"

From that moment on, Simao seemed to have found his own direction in life, different from the people around him. As a scholar, he unexpectedly had pretty good skills.

However, it should be noted that the so-called "not bad" here is only compared with ordinary mortals. If it is compared with Ermao or Xiaocaoer, it is really a dwarf compared to a giant, and is not worth mentioning at all.

So, facing Simao's self-proclaimed skills, Xiaocaoer mercilessly launched another round of fierce criticism: "Fourth brother, fourth brother, look at your current little knowledge. You are only a million miles away from becoming a great scholar. I'm afraid you are far from being qualified to be a small teacher!"

"Let's talk about the ranger. Although you don't necessarily have to have peerless martial arts, you must at least have some real skills! Look at yourself again, can you beat my second brother? Can you defeat me, the girl?"

"Hmph, you can't even deal with a weak woman like me, and you still have the nerve to talk nonsense about going out to make a living in the world? I think you'd better study hard first!" These words came to Simao like a torrential rain, leaving him speechless, his face flushed, and he couldn't find a word of rebuttal for a long time.
