A Lady’s Tranquility

Chapter 28: Exam school

Views:

After doing the bad deeds of bullying others, Jiang Xuening returned to his house without any psychological burden.

What's there to worry about

In order to break off the marriage, a girl's family insisted on giving the object of marriage the reputation of "ke wife", and the other party is also known for being upright and upright, and it is not known who is unlucky when it spreads out; besides, if they want to do it because of themselves Jiang Xuening couldn't be more eager to let others judge this case.

If the trouble got too big, wouldn't she be able to leave the palace just in time

It's a sure-fire deal on both sides.

That night, Yan Lin really sent her some exam questions that he had inquired about. Of course, they may not be complete, but you know the general direction and which books to take. , It should not be difficult to pass the exam tomorrow.

After all, it's just to look at everyone's knowledge, not the real exam.

The purpose of the exam is just to eliminate 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 doesn't care about herself, if this thing is seen by others, it is inevitable that Yan Lin will be found, and it will not sound good to say it.

Such a good night's sleep.

The next morning, after getting up to wash and dress up, she pushed open the door and saw at a glance that, early in the morning, there were several ladies from aristocratic families holding books outside, standing or sitting, chanting in a low voice recite or memorize.

"… "

It seems that everyone is really working hard to stay.

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

It was probably because of the sudden incident between You Yue and Yao Xi last night, when everyone heard the door slam, and when they raised their heads and saw her walk in, there was a bit of fear 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 crawl to read a book. She even smiled at Jiang Xuening: "Mr. Jiang Er girl."

"Miss Fan is early."

Fan Yilan really does not fight or rob, she has poetry and literature, she has real materials, she is calm and calm at all times.

This indifference is something Jiang Xuening cannot envy.

She has always been kind to those who show kindness to her, so she also nodded to her and said, "Everyone seems to be up early today, it seems that they all attach great importance to the academic examination school."

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

Girls in different clothes stand in the corridor reading.

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

Fan Yilan glanced at the others and said, "After all, you should never have experienced such a battle before, so it's inevitable to be nervous, even I couldn't sleep well last night, so I woke up early today. But Jiang Er girl is the same as the previous two days, she slept until dawn, which is really admirable."

What's wrong with envy? Envy that she can sleep

Jiang Xuening was really dumbfounded.

Sitting on the other side was Fang Miao, who had rarely put down all kinds of astronomical almanacs today, but picked up a copy of The Analects to read, and after hearing Fan Yilan's words, he interjected sourly: "How does Miss Fan know, it's us. Everyone here didn't sleep well last night, and it's impossible for Jiang Er girl to sleep well. Everyone in the court and the public knows that Jiang Shilang and Mr. Xie are good friends, and they have contacts on weekdays. If Jiang Er girl doesn't say anything else, she can always know something. Mr. Xie's preferences, and also know what to pay attention to when answering the school exam? We are miserable, and we don't know which one to hold for a while."

Speaking of this, the voice suddenly stopped.

Fang Miao finally realized something that she had neglected before, she stood up as soon as she patted her forehead, and came up to pull Jiang Xuening's hand: "Miss Jiang! Miss Jiang! I forgot, you have 'power' Oh man. Well, what, if it's convenient for you, can you tell me in a little bit what books Mr. Xie likes to read, and do you have any special preferences when grading papers?"

Although Xie Wei has contacts with Jiang Boyu, but that is the matter of adults, Jiang Xuening is now just a little girl who died at the age of eighteen and said that she was nineteen years old, what can she know

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

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

Who told her that she was reborn and knew the content of the test paper in advance

When Fang Miao asked this, the sound of reading on the corridor became a little smaller for some reason.

Jiang Xuening noticed that many people were looking at her, and her mind moved slightly: Why don't you do this kind of "good thing" of "benefiting others and benefiting yourself"

The better others do in the exam, the worse she appears to be!

Fang Miao originally tried to ask, but seeing Jiang Xuening's eyes flickering, she said in her heart, "Sure enough, I won't tell." After all, everyone is in a competitive relationship at this time. Who wants to help their opponents

If one is accidentally squeezed out, who will cry

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

But she never expected that, Jiang Xuening looked at her and laughed, and said to her: "The Analects of Confucius is something to read. If there is still some time left, it would be good to read Mencius. I want to know that Mr. Xie took the test. The school is not too difficult for us, we just have to see what everyone has learned. So in terms of the order in which ordinary scholars read, "University" and "Book of Songs" must also be read. My father did have some friendship with Mr. Xie. , but I don’t know much about Mr.’s habits. I only know that Mr. Xie also prefers well-written words rather than a good answer on the answer sheet. No matter how good the answer sheet is, if the words are not neat and clear, Mr. Xie will They'll all be thrown out of there."

Everyone was stunned when they heard it.

Some people didn't expect Jiang Xuening to say it directly; some people were thinking, she just said it so easily, whether it was true or not; some people were a little suspicious of what she said.

Even Zhou Baoying is reading today.

Her little face was pink and tender, her brows were wrinkled, and she looked puzzled: "How can it be? Isn't reading, reading, knowledge and cultivation the first? If it's just because the handwriting is not good enough, you will be punished. It's too unfair to be dismissed, isn't it? If there are already many questions on the test paper, the handwriting will inevitably be scribbled in a hurry..."

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

She didn't have much contact with Xie Wei in the last life, and she didn't even have the chance to meet each other. I only heard that when he presided over the scientific examination, his knowledge was excellent but his words were not good enough. Wait.

The original one is put into two;

Originally the second-class was reduced to the third-class;

The original top three may have no names.

There are many scholars in that department who are not convinced. For this reason, there was a Shilin request to cancel the matter of Xie Wei's meeting with the president, but Xie Wei went his own way and had no intention of changing it.

Then it was over.

Jiang Xuening didn't know why Xie Wei was like this.

Anyway, she said everything she knew, and it was their business whether others believed it or not.

Because of Zhou Baoying's question, many people became 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 was very powerful in the court. Although Xiao Shu was already acquainted with the eldest princess, and her knowledge was not bad, it was basically impossible to be persuaded to go home at this level. But once it comes to the academic examination school, it is a matter of face. Someone had already inquired about Xie Wei's habits and preferences for her, and among them "good writing" ranked first.

She knew, but never thought of telling others.

However, Jiang Xuening actually said it all...

Isn't this person half selfish

Xiao Shu suddenly felt that she didn't understand her very well, and then felt that compared to this person's magnanimity, her little thought of trying to be the first seemed to be inferior.

Her heart suddenly became very complicated.

But I don't know, at this moment Jiang Xuening's heart is about to bloom: these silly girls must hold the Buddha's feet, take advantage of this time to read the book quickly, write carefully when answering the paper, Ben Gong will leave the palace smoothly and go home early. The "grand cause" of the company depends on you!

Everyone else was hurrying to read the book, but Jiang Xuening felt that her life had never been so full of hope. She walked into the Liushui Pavilion and wanted to make a pot of tea for herself. Ask them to take the test.

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

Jiang Xuening raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows.

Yao Xi.

Xu was because she cried yesterday, and she cried even more after Jiang Xuening left, so her eyes looked a little swollen. When she walked in from outside, her eyes kept falling on Jiang Xuening.

Dressed in apricot red clothes, it looks good in an instant.

But Jiang Xuening could feel her unwillingness and anger from her clenched palm.

Jiang Xuening stretched out his hand and slowly placed a set of tea sets on the tea tray. He just smiled: "Miss Yao, don't worry, we asked what you said yesterday, so you only said it. Although I am not a good person, I have Any grudges or grudges are said in person, and I don't do anything like slandering the descendants behind my back, so naturally I don't need to worry about me turning around and talking nonsense."

Yao Xi felt that she was slapped in the face again.

After all, words like "slandering behind the back" and "heirloom small stories" sound like they mean something.

She took a deep breath and said, "I asked myself that I have no grievances or enmity with Miss Jiang Er. After I went back last night, I deliberately inquired about it, but I didn't think there was any offense to you. I want to talk about Er Girl and Miss Na You Er. There is some disagreement between them, and it's just about targeting her. But your words are clearly aimed at me. I didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and I always felt that this was strange. Even if the girl was complaining, the reaction seemed to be too extreme. , I have to wonder, what is the relationship between Miss Jiang Er and that Zhang Zhe?"

Gee.

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

Jiang Xuening is very keen.

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

Jiang Xuening leaned forward and used a teaspoon to put the tea leaves in the tea into the pot little by little, and said without changing his face: "Master Zhang Zhe is a speech officer, he is upright and upright, and I heard that he was quite virtuous among the people when he broke the prison in his early years. Name. Although Xuening is also a villain, but in the past two years, he has realized a truth. Although not everyone in the world can be a gentleman, it doesn't matter if he is a villain. Gentleman, it is best to follow the way of a gentleman. Miss Yao seems to be suspicious of what Zhang Zha and I have, but after today, Miss Yao goes out and asks to find out that I have never met the legendary Lord Zhang. Once. If you want to do something from it, you should stop thinking about it as soon as possible. You feel that this marriage is not good, and it is understandable that you want to quit. The world seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. But some things are not good if you do too much. Miss Yao wants to break off the marriage and do no harm to herself. Where in the world can there be such a good thing? "

"Miss Jiang Er's words are really nice." Yao Xi listened to her tone of voice that had nothing to do with him, and felt extremely harsh, "I only heard that you were also not good at getting along in the mansion, and now you are talking on your feet. No back pain, really wait for you to encounter such a thing, to be worthy of such a marriage, I am afraid that it may not be better than me!"

This is the bloody mouth.

Jiang Xuening thought that when she was the worst at being a human being in her last life, she also clearly told Yan Lin that she wanted to be a queen and that she wanted to marry Shen Jie. What dirty water is pouring on him to stigmatize him.

And she took a fancy to Shen Jie before the incident in Yongyi Hou's mansion.

Regardless of whether or not something happened behind the Hou Mansion, she was going to marry Shen Jie, and she didn't have the heart of a stone in the hole. It's just that the two things collided, and there was a suspicion of falling into trouble, which made Yan Lin hate her even more.

She raised her eyes to look at Yao Xi's eyes, and suddenly became a bit mocking: "I see that Miss Yao didn't seem to have any intention to hurt anyone last night, but today she seems to be going to the point of a bull's horn. If I were Miss Yao, firstly, when I meet such a good marriage, and my father, who is a cabinet bachelor, thinks that this person is good, it is too late to marry happily, so why do we need to break off the marriage? Second, I think this marriage is not good. I really want to retire from my family, but I don't want to throw such unpleasant dirty water on people as 'ke wife', and ask people how to marry a wife? I simply told people that I want to retire this marriage, and I want to come to that cover A decent gentleman will not force it. Thirdly, if I am determined not to carry the name of being a 'snobby' and want to break off the marriage, I might as well just sit at home and wait."

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

At this moment, Jiang Xuening was looking at Yao Xi's disgust, just as the water on the side was boiling, he said coldly: "I'm going to make tea, if Miss Yao doesn't want to sit down and have tea with me, don't be there. This bothers me so much. I have to go to school in a while, so why not read more while you have time?"

Read more books, don't bully the poor.

She has experienced a lot in the last life, and she has only learned so much. She can only point her to so much on the face that she is not allowed to marry Zhang Zhe in the future. If Yao Xi understands, she understands, and it doesn't matter to her if she doesn't understand.

Yao Xi, however, said that she didn't give any face, and became angry again.

Everyone had chased away the guests, so she didn't want to stay any longer, so she left with a flick of her sleeves.

But when I went out, I realized that Liushui Pavilion is not her Jiang Xuening's territory, how can she rush people like she is the master

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

About two quarters later, Jiang Xuening just finished drinking two cups of tea, and someone came to pass the message outside Yang Zhizhai.

He only said, "Several gentlemen have come over from Wenhua Hall and brought their examination papers. At the beginning of the morning, they will start the test at the Fengchen Hall next to them. They also asked the ladies to follow the slaves and wait to move to the Fengchen Hall."

So everyone arranged their appearance one after another and went to Fengchen Hall with the palace staff.

It didn't take even half a moment to walk from this hall to Yang Zhizhai, where the companions lived, and they arrived in a while.

Jiang Xuening raised his eyes and saw that Fengchen Hall was a main hall, with side halls on both sides, with side rooms and mountain rooms. There were 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. The five virtues of the sage.

After entering the palace, it is like a school.

The upper part is where the gentlemen give lectures, the lower part is full of desks and chairs, and the writing, ink, paper, inkstone and inkstone on the desk are provided; by the west wall, there are several square tables, several chairs, bookshelves and tea tables, which should be for Mr. They took a break between the two talks.

They each chose their seats and sat down.

After all, Jiang Xuening was a little terrified of Xie Wei, so he directly picked a book case in the far corner that was not well lit and looked a bit dark. Although it might be a bit of an eyesight to write something for a while, it could avoid the eyes of others.

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

Everyone immediately got up again.

Jiang Xuening stood in the corner and looked back, and saw that Xie Wei was wearing a loose blue-green Taoist robe today, his hair was tied with a green jade hairpin, his eyebrows and eyes were not stained with dust, and his lips had a bit of a usual smile, and he went up with the other three. The old pedant with gray hair and beard walked in from outside the hall. In terms of appearance and bearing, he 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 lady from an aristocratic family who had mocked others for mentioning Xie Wei's blushing before, but only after seeing it did she realize that the person wasn't talking nonsense at the time.

For a while, many people dared not look directly.

Jiang Xuening even looked at Xie Wei and immediately lowered her head: she didn't dare to look at Xie Wei, but hoped that Xie Wei would not pay attention to her anyway, she just needed to finish the answer and hand it in when he told him to get out Feeling is enough.

only…

Xie Wei was involved in the hall with a pile of questions rolled up. As soon as he put it on the table, he looked up and his eyebrows moved slightly. He glanced around the corner again, and then saw Jiang Xuening standing with his head bowed in the dark corner.

His unrolled fingers froze slightly.

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

Xie Wei only pointed at the palace servants who were standing at the entrance of the palace, and said lightly, "If there is no strong wind, rain and scorching sun in the future, open the window sash in the east corner."

The palace servant immediately responded: "Yes."

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

The light of the sky outside poured in suddenly, all of which fell on her body, and also lit up the table and pen and paper in front of her.

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

There was already a scolding in my heart: This posture clearly suspects that Ben Gong is going to cheat in the dark! Hey, look at the "good" answer sheet that Ben Gong will give you this time, and teach you what it means to be "inexperienced"! I can't get mad at you!
