Chapter 28: examination school

After finishing the bad deeds of bullying others, Jiang Xuening returned to her room without any psychological burden.

What is there to worry about?

A girl's family insists on labeling the object of marriage as a "wife restraint" in order to withdraw from the marriage, and the other party is also known for being upright and upright, so it is not known who is unlucky if it spreads out; Jiang Xuening couldn't wait for others to comment on this incident.

Couldn't she be able to leave the palace if the trouble got too big?

Both left and right are a sure-fire business.

That night, Yan Lin actually sent her some of the exam questions he had inquired about. Of course, they may not be complete, but he knows the general direction and which books to test. , It should not be difficult to pass tomorrow's exam.

After all, it is just to look at everyone's knowledge, not a real examination.

The purpose of the school examination is just to get rid of some people who are too bad.

After Jiang Xuening got it, he glanced at it roughly, and found that it was almost the same as the previous life. After reading it, he put these pages on the fire and burned them. Although she didn't care about herself, if this thing was seen by others, Yan Lin would inevitably be found out, and it wouldn't sound good to say it.

Such a good night's sleep.

The next morning, after washing and dressing, she opened the door of the room, only to see at a glance, this early in the morning, there were several young ladies from aristocratic families outside with books, standing or sitting, chanting in a low voice. recite or memorize.

"..."

It seems that everyone is really trying hard to stay.

Jiang Xuening suddenly felt that she was so lazy that she was really out of place.

It was probably because of the incident between You Yue and Yao Xi that happened to her suddenly last night. When everyone heard the door knock and raised their heads to see her walking in, there was a bit of jealousy and fear in their eyes.

Only a few people took the initiative to greet her.

Among them was Fan Yilan, the only one in the group who didn't crouch to read a book temporarily, she even smiled at Jiang Xuening: "Good morning, Second Miss Jiang."

"Morning Miss Fan."

Fan Yilan really doesn't fight or grab, she has a poetic spirit in her belly, and has that real material, so she is calm and composed at all times.

This indifference was something Jiang Xuening couldn't envy.

She has always been friendly to those who show kindness to herself, so she also nodded to her and said: "Everyone seems to get up very early today, and it seems that they all attach great importance to the knowledge examination."

In the early morning of late autumn, there was a faint cold mist floating in the sky.

Girls in different clothes are standing on the porch reading.

No matter how you look at it, it is a pleasing picture scroll.

Fan Yilan glanced at the others and said: "After all, you probably haven't experienced such battles before, it's inevitable to be nervous, even I couldn't sleep well last night, so I got up early today. But the second girl Jiang is the same as the previous two days, sleeping until dawn, which is really admirable."

What's wrong with being envious? I'm envious that she can sleep?

Jiang Xuening was really dumbfounded.

Sitting on the other side was Fang Miao who rarely put down all kinds of astronomical almanacs today and picked up an "Analects of Confucius" to read. Hearing Fan Yilan's words, he interjected sourly: "Where does Miss Fan know that it is ours?" Everyone here didn't sleep well last night, and it's impossible for Miss Jiang to sleep well. Everyone in the government and the public knows that Jiang Shilang and Mr. Xie are friends, and they also have contacts on weekdays. Miss Jiang will always know something if she doesn't say anything else. Mr. Xie's preferences, you also know what to pay attention to when answering the school exams, right? We will be miserable, and we don't know which one to hold when we hold Buddha's feet temporarily."

Having said that, the voice suddenly paused.

Fang Miao finally realized something that she had neglected before, and stood up as soon as she slapped herself on the forehead, and came up to grab Jiang Xuening's hand: "Second Miss Jiang! Second Miss Jiang! I actually forgot, you have 'potential' Well, what, if it’s convenient for you, can you tell me a little bit about what books Mr. Xie usually likes to read, and do you have any special preferences when grading papers?”

Although Xie Wei has contacts with Jiang Boyou, but that is the business of adults, Jiang Xuening is just an eighteen-year-old girl who is said to be nineteen, what can she know?

If Fang Miao asked this question in her previous life, she would be asking the wrong person.

It's just that Jiang Xuening really knows in this life.

Who told her that she was born again and knew the content of the test paper in advance?

When Fang Miao asked this question, the sound of reading in the corridor became quieter for some reason.

Jiang Xuening noticed that many people looked at her, and her mind moved slightly: Why didn't she do such a "good thing" that "benefits others and benefits herself"?

The better others do in the exam, the worse she looks!

Fang Miao was originally trying to ask, but seeing Jiang Xuening's eyes flickering, she said in her heart, "Sure enough, I won't tell." After all, at this time, everyone is considered to be in competition. Who wants to help their opponent?

If a person is accidentally squeezed out, who to cry with?

So she sighed: "I'll continue to read my "The Analects of Confucius". It's better to hug blindly than not hug at all."

But she never expected that Jiang Xuening smiled when she looked at her, and said to her: "The Analects is something to read. If there is still some time, it would be good to read "Mencius". It won’t be too difficult for us, so we just look at what everyone has learned. Therefore, according to the order in which ordinary scholars read books, they also have to read "University" and "Book of Songs". My father does have some friendship with Mr. Xie , but I don’t know much about Mr. Xie’s habits. I only know that Mr. Xie also prefers correct writing compared to answering well. No matter how good the answer is, if the writing is not neat and clear, Mr. Xie They will all be dethroned there.”

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this.

Some didn't expect Jiang Xuening to say it directly; some were thinking about whether she said it so easily, whether it was true or not; and some people had some doubts about what she said.

Even Zhou Baoying was reading today.

Her small face was pink and red, her eyebrows frowned, and she looked confused: "How could it be? Isn't learning and cultivation the first thing in reading and reading? If you are just because your handwriting is not good enough, you will be punished." Isn't it too unfair to depose? If there are a lot of questions on the examination paper, the handwriting will inevitably be scribbled in a hurry..."

Jiang Xuening smiled: "Then I don't know."

In her last life, she had not had much contact with Xie Wei, and even had few chances to meet her. She only heard people say that when he presided over the scientific examination, he was very knowledgeable but not good at writing. wait.

The original one is put into the second one;

The original second-class was reduced to the third-class;

The original top three may not have a name.

Many scholars in that department were dissatisfied, and because of this, a scholar asked to write a letter to dismiss Xie Wei as the president of the examination, but Xie Wei still went his own way and had no intention of changing it.

Then it was all over.

Why Xie Wei was like this, Jiang Xuening naturally didn't know.

Anyway, she's told everything she knows, and it's up to others whether they believe it or not.

Because of Zhou Baoying's question, many people were a little suspicious of Jiang Xuening's words just now.

Only Xiao Shu looked at Jiang Xuening with admiration.

Because she knew that what Jiang Xuening said was true.

After all, the Xiao family is very powerful in the court. Although Xiao Shu is already familiar with the eldest princess and her knowledge is not bad, it is basically impossible for her to be persuaded to go home at this stage. But once it comes to knowledge examinations, it's a matter of face. Someone had already inquired about the habits and hobbies of the prince's young teacher Xie Wei for her, among which "good handwriting" was ranked first.

She knew, but never thought of telling others.

However, Jiang Xuening actually said it all...

Is this person not even half selfish?

For a moment, Xiao Shu felt that she didn't understand her very well, and for a while, she felt that compared to this person's magnanimity, her little thought of wanting to be the first seemed to be inferior.

Her heart suddenly became very complicated.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Jiang Xuening's heart is about to burst into joy: These silly girls must embrace the Buddha's feet, take advantage of this time to review the books quickly, and write carefully when answering the papers, and I will leave the palace smoothly and go home early The "big picture and great cause" of the "Great Plan" depends on you!

Others are hurrying to review their books, but Jiang Xuening feels that life has never been so hopeful. She walked into the Liushui Pavilion, wanting to make a pot of tea for herself, without making any preparations, just waiting for someone to come Ask them to take the test.

It's just that it didn't work out, and just after the water was boiled, an "uninvited guest" came in.

Jiang Xuening raised her eyes and couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

Yao Xi.

Perhaps it was because she cried yesterday, and she cried even more after Jiang Xuening left, so her eyes looked a little swollen, and when she walked in from the outside, her eyes kept falling on Jiang Xuening's body.

She was dressed in apricot red clothes, which looked really good-looking.

But Jiang Xuening could feel her unwillingness and anger from the tightly clenched palms hanging by her side.

Jiang Xuening stretched out her hand, slowly arranged a set of tea sets on the tea tray, and only smiled: "Miss Yao, don't worry, we asked you what you said yesterday, so you said it. Although I am not a good person, I have All hatred and grievances are said in person, and I don’t do such things as slandering people behind the scenes, so naturally there is no need to worry about me talking around.”

Yao Xi felt that she had slapped her on the face again.

After all, phrases such as "slandering in the back" and "passing on people's gossip" seem to have meaning no matter how they sound.

She took a deep breath and said: "I asked myself that I have no grievances with Miss Jiang. After I went back last night, I deliberately inquired about it, and I didn't think of anything that offended you. If you want to say that Miss Jiang and Miss Nayou There is some discord between them, so it’s fine to target her. But your every word and every word is clearly aimed at me. I didn’t sleep in the middle of the night, and I always felt that this matter was strange. Even if the girl was complaining, the reaction seemed too aggressive , but I have to wonder, what is the relationship between Miss Jiang and that Zhang Zhe?"

Tsk.

This is because if you can't figure it out, you have to suspect that there is something between her and Zhang Zhe. I am afraid that if there is any clue, it will be used as a reason to break off the engagement with Zhang Zhe.

Jiang Xuening is very sharp.

It's just that, if you question her in the previous life, she may not have a clear conscience; but if you ask her in this life, she doesn't even know Zhang Zhe now, where did the "relationship" come from?

Jiang Xuening leaned forward, used a teaspoon to pour the tea leaves from the teapot into the pot little by little, and said without changing his expression: "Master Zhang Zhe is a speech officer, upright and upright, and I heard that he was quite virtuous among the common people when he was sentenced to prison in his early years." Although Xiao Ning is also a villain, she has realized a truth in the past two years. Although everyone in the world cannot be a gentleman, it doesn’t matter to be a villain. Gentleman, it’s best to behave like a gentleman. Ms. Yao seems to suspect that I have something to do with Zhang Zhe, but after today, Ms. Yao goes out to inquire and find out that I have never even met the legendary Master Zhang. Once. If you want to make something out of it, you should stop thinking about it as soon as possible. You think this marriage is not good, so it is understandable to want to quit. The world seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, so there is nothing to blame. But if some things are overdone, it's not good. Miss Yao wants to retire without harming herself, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"

"Ms. Jiang Er's words are really sweet." Yao Xi felt that her words had nothing to do with her, and she felt extremely harsh, "I only heard that you also had a bad temper in the mansion, and now you are talking standing up. No back pain, I really hope that you have encountered such a thing, and if you want to be worthy of such a marriage, I'm afraid you may not look better than me!"

This is blood spraying people.

Jiang Xuening said in her heart that when she was the worst person in her last life, she told Yan Lin clearly that she wanted to be a queen and that she wanted to marry Shen Jie, and she didn't find any innocent reasons for herself, let alone commit suicide What kind of dirty water is poured on him to add a stigma to him.

And she saw that Shen Jie was also before the accident in Yongyihou's mansion.

Regardless of whether there is an accident behind the Hou's mansion, she is going to marry Shen Jie, and she has no intention of making trouble in the well. It's just that the two incidents collided, and it was suspected of making things worse, which made Yan Lin hate her even more.

She raised her eyes to look at Yao Xi's gaze, and suddenly became a bit mocking: "I don't think Miss Yao had any intention of harming anyone last night, but today she wakes up as if she is going to go her own way. If I were Ms. Yao, firstly, I met such a good marriage, and my father, who is a cabinet bachelor, thinks that this person is good, and it is too late to marry happily. Why is there a need to resign? Second, I think this marriage is not good. I really want to get rid of the marriage, but I don’t want to pour such nasty dirty water on people as "restraining my wife", and tell people how to marry a wife later? I simply told people that I want to get rid of this marriage, and I want to come to the cover An honest gentleman will not force it. Thirdly, if I am determined not to bear the infamy of 'snobbery' and want to divorce the engagement, I might as well hold back and just sit at home and wait."

Yao Xi couldn't help pulling the veil to secretly hate when she heard the front, but when she heard her last sentence, she was suddenly startled: "What do you mean by that?"

At this moment, Jiang Xuening saw how disgusted Yao Xi was, and just as the water on the side was boiling, she said coldly: "I'm going to make tea, if Miss Yao doesn't want to sit down and have a chat with me, don't come here This disturbs my cleanliness. I will take the school exam soon, so why don’t you read more while you have time?”

Read more books, don't bully poor people.

She had experienced a lot in her previous life, so she had only learned so much, and she could only tell her so much because she might not be able to marry Zhang Zhe in the future. If Yao Xi understands it, she understands it, and it has nothing to do with her if she doesn't understand it.

Yao Xi said that she didn't give half of the face, and got angry again.

Everyone drove away the customers, and she couldn't stay any longer, so she left in a huff.

But after walking out, it occurred to her that Liushui Pavilion was not Jiang Xuening's territory alone, so how could she act as if she was the master when she chased people around?

But at this time, it would be too embarrassing to go in again, so I had to endure it.

At about the second quarter of Maozheng, Jiang Xuening just finished drinking two cups of tea, and someone came from outside Yangzhizhai.

He only said: "Several gentlemen have come from the Wenhua Hall with their test papers. At the first moment of the first day of the morning, the exam will be held in the Fengchen Hall next to it. I also invite all the ladies to follow the slaves to the Fengchen Hall."

So everyone arranged their appearance one after another, and followed the palace people to Fengchen Hall.

It doesn't take even a moment to walk from this hall to Yangzhizhai, where the companions live, and arrive in a short while.

Jiang Xuening raised her eyes, and saw that Fengchen Hall was a main hall, with side halls on both sides and side rooms, mountain houses, neither carved beams nor painted buildings, most of the doors were only painted with varnish, and there were only five steps in front of the hall. Yu sage's five virtues.

After entering the palace, it is like a school.

At the top is the place where the gentlemen give lectures, and at the bottom there are complete tables and chairs, including pens, ink, papers and inkstones on the desk; on the west wall, there are several square tables, some chairs, bookcases and tea tables, which should be for Mr. It is for rest between the two lectures.

They each chose their seats and sat down.

After all, Jiang Xuening was a little apprehensive towards Xie Wei, so she directly picked a book case in the far corner where the light was not very good and looked a bit dark. Although it might be a bit taxing for the eyes to write something for a while, but it can avoid the eyes of others.

At this time, a voice came from behind: "Gentlemen, please."

Everyone immediately got up again.

Jiang Xuening stood in the corner and looked back, only to see that Xie Wei was wearing a loose green Taoist robe today, his hair was tied with green jade hairpins, his eyes and eyebrows were spotless, and with a usual smile on his lips, he had **** with the other three The old pedant with gray beard and hair came in from outside the hall, his demeanor and demeanor really stood out from the crowd, not to mention that he was too young among the people of the same rank in the court.

There was a young lady from the family who had previously laughed at others for mentioning Xie Wei and blushed, but only after meeting them did she realize that the person was not lying.

For a while, many people dared not look directly.

Jiang Xuening even glanced at it and immediately lowered her head: It's not that she doesn't dare to look at Xie Wei, but she hopes that Xie Wei won't notice her no matter what, just need to finish answering the paper and hand it in when he tells her to get out. Feeling is enough.

only…

Xie Wei carried a stack of rolled-up questions into the hall, and just as he put them on the desk, when he looked up, his eyebrows twitched slightly. He glanced around the corner again, only to see Jiang Xuening standing with his head hanging in the dark corner.

His unrolling fingers froze slightly.

An old Hanlin next to him asked him, "Ju An, what's the matter?"

Xie Wei only nodded to the palace servants standing at the entrance of the hall, and said calmly: "In the future, unless there is a strong wind, rain, and scorching sun, we will open the windows in the east corner."

The palace man responded immediately: "Yes."

Then she walked past Jiang Xuening, and pushed open the window sash that had been tightly closed earlier.

The light from outside suddenly poured in, and it all fell on her body, and it also illuminated the desk, pen and paper in front of her brightly.

At this moment, Jiang Xuening felt that she had nowhere to hide.

I already cursed in my heart: This posture clearly suspects that Ben Gong is going to cheat in secret! Tsk, look at Ben Gong handing in a "good" answer sheet for you this time, and teach you what it means to be "ignorant and incompetent"! I can't kill you!
