Chapter 28 Examination

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

What's there to worry about?

A girl's family insisted on labeling the object of the marriage proposal with the reputation of "restraining his wife" in order to withdraw from the marriage, and the other party was also known for being honest and upright. It is unclear who the unlucky person is when rumors spread; Besides, if they want to stir up trouble over what they did today and let others judge them, Jiang Xuening would be very eager.

She didn't happen to be able to leave the palace after the commotion escalated?

Both sides are a steady profit and no loss deal.

That night, Yan Lin really sent her some of the exam questions he had inquired about. Of course, they may not be complete, but the general direction and which books to study were known. If she stayed up late at night and read again tomorrow morning, it should not be difficult to pass the exam tomorrow.

After all, it's just a matter of looking at everyone's knowledge, not a real exam.

===Kunning Section 38===

The purpose of the school entrance examination is only to eliminate some people who are too poor.

After Jiang Xuening received it, she roughly glanced at it and found that there was almost no difference from the previous life. After reading it, she put these few pages of paper together on the fire and burned them. Although she doesn't care about herself, if this thing is seen by others, it is inevitable that it will be found on Yan Lin. It's not pleasant to say it out loud.

Sleeping soundly all night.

The next morning, after getting up to wash and tidy up, she pushed open the door and saw at a glance that there were several ladies from prestigious families holding books outside the corridor, standing or sitting, reciting or memorizing in a low voice.

"..."

It seems that everyone is really working hard to stay.

Jiang Xuening suddenly felt that her laziness was somewhat out of place.

Probably because last night she suddenly had an incident with You Yue and Yao Xi. When everyone heard the door ring and looked up to see her walking in, there was a hint of fear and apprehension in their eyes.

Only a few people took the initiative to greet her.

Among them was Fan Yilan, the only one among these people who didn't cram for a book on the spot. She even smiled at Jiang Xuening and said, "Good morning, Miss Jiang."

"Good morning, Miss Fan."

Fan Yilan is truly non competitive, with a poetic and scholarly aura in her belly, and a genuine talent. She is always calm and composed.

This indifference is something that Jiang Xuening cannot envy.

She has always been friendly to people who show kindness to her, so she nodded to her and said, "It seems like everyone got up early today. It seems that they all attach great importance to the level of academic examination."

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

Girls dressed differently stood in the corridor reading.

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

Fan Yilan glanced at the others and said, "After all, we probably haven't experienced such a battle before. It's inevitable that we get nervous, even though I didn't sleep well last night. I woke up early today. However, Miss Jiang, like the previous two days, slept until dawn, which is truly admirable."

What's wrong with envy? Envy her for being able to sleep?

Jiang Xuening is really a bit overwhelmed with tears and laughter.

Sitting on the other side was Fang Miao, who had rarely let go of various astronomical almanacs today and instead picked up a book called "The Analects" to nibble on. Upon hearing Fan Yilan's words, she interjected sourly, "Miss Fan didn't know that even if all of us here couldn't sleep well last night, Miss Jiang Er couldn't sleep well either. Everyone in the court and the public knew that Jiang Shilang and Mr. Xie were good friends and had regular interactions.". Miss Jiang, aside from anything else, always knows something about Mr. Xie's preferences, and also knows what to pay attention to when answering the school entrance exam later, right? We are in dire straits, we don't even know which one to hold at the last minute. "

At this point, the voice suddenly paused.

Fang Miao finally realized something she had previously overlooked. She patted her forehead and stood up, grabbing Jiang Xuening's hand. "Miss Jiang Er! Miss Jiang Er! I forgot that you are a person with 'power'. Hmph, what? If it's convenient for you, could you briefly reveal what books Mr. Xie likes to read and whether he has any special preferences when grading papers?"

Although Xie Wei has dealings with Jiang Boyou, they are all matters of adults. Jiang Xuening is now just a little girl who is only eighteen years old and can't bear to say she is nineteen years old. What can she know?

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

However, Jiang Xuening really knows about it in this lifetime.

Who said she was reborn and knew the content of the exam paper in advance?

When Fang Miao asked these words, the sound of reading on the corridor somehow quieted down.

Jiang Xuening noticed that many people were looking at her, and her mind twitched slightly: why didn't she do this kind of "good thing" that benefits others and herself?

The better others do on exams, the more they appear inferior!

Fang Miao was originally trying to ask, but as Jiang Xuening's eyes flickered, she said to herself, "I really won't tell you.". After all, at such times, everyone is considered to have a competitive relationship. Who is willing to help their competitors?

If someone accidentally gets squeezed out, who should cry?

So she sighed and said, "I'd better continue reading my Analects. It's better to hug blindly than not."

But to her surprise, Jiang Xuening smiled as she looked at her and said, "The Analects is something to read. If there is still some time, it would be good to read the Mencius. I also know that Mr. Xie's entrance exam will not be too difficult for us, so let's take a look at what everyone has learned. So, according to the order in which scholars study, the Great Learning and the Book of Songs also need to be read.". My father does have some friendship with Mr. Xie, but I don't know much about his habits. I only know that compared to answering well on the test paper, Mr. Xie seems to prefer writing neatly and correctly. No matter how well you answer the answer sheet, if the words are not neat and clear, you will be dismissed from Mr. Xie's place

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

Some did not expect Jiang Xuening to speak directly; Some people are thinking, and she can easily say whether it is true or false; Some people also have some doubts about what she said.

Even Zhou Baoying is reading a book today.

Her small face was pink and rosy, with her eyebrows furrowed and she looked puzzled. "How could that be? Isn't reading and cultivating knowledge the top priority? If you were dismissed just because your handwriting wasn't good enough, it would be unfair, wouldn't it? If there were already many questions on the exam paper, hasty handwriting would inevitably be messy..."

Jiang Xuening smiled and said, "Then I don't know."

In her previous life, she didn't have much contact with Xie Wei, and even had few opportunities to meet. People only heard that when he presided over the scientific examination, those with excellent knowledge but not good handwriting would be thrown down in his hands.

Put the original armor into the second armor;

The original second tier has been reduced to the third tier;

Those who were originally in the top three may not have a surname anymore.

Many of the scholars in that subject were dissatisfied, which caused a commotion among the scholars. They requested a petition to remove Xie Wei from his position as CEO, but Xie Wei continued to go his own way and had no intention of making any changes.

Later on, it just came to an end.

Why Xie Wei is like this, Jiang Xuening is not sure.

Anyway, she has said everything she knows, whether others believe it or not is their business.

Due to Zhou Baoying's question, many people became somewhat skeptical about Jiang Xuening's recent words.

Only Xiao Shu looked at Jiang Xuening with admiration.

Because she knew that what Jiang Xuening said was true.

After all, the Xiao family had great influence in the court. Although Xiao Shu was already familiar with Princess Chang and her knowledge was not poor, it was almost impossible for her to be persuaded to go home in this stage. But once it comes to academic exams, it's about saving face. Someone had already inquired about the habits and preferences of Prince Shaoshi Xie Wei, and among them, "write well" ranked first.

She knows, but she never thought about telling others.

However, Jiang Xuening surprisingly said everything

Does this person have any selfish intentions?

Xiao Shu suddenly felt that she didn't quite understand her, and at the same time, she felt that compared to this person's magnanimity, her careful thinking of striving for first place seemed to be inferior.

Her heart suddenly became complicated.

But at this moment, Jiang Xuening's heart was about to burst with joy: these foolish girls must hold onto the Buddha's feet, take advantage of this time to quickly study and write seriously when answering papers. The "grand plan" of leaving the palace smoothly and returning home early depends on you all!

Others were eagerly studying, but Jiang Xuening realized that life had never been so full of hope before. She walked into the Flowing Water Pavilion, wanting to brew herself a pot of tea without any preparation, just waiting for someone to call them to take the exam for a while.

Just didn't make it, just as the water was boiling, an unexpected guest came in.

Jiang Xuening lifted her eyes and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Yao Xi.

Perhaps because she cried yesterday and cried even harder after Jiang Xuening left, her eyes seemed a bit swollen. When she walked in from outside, her gaze had been fixed on Jiang Xuening.

Wearing apricot red clothes, it looks instantly beautiful.

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

Jiang Xuening reached out her hand and calmly set up a set of tea utensils on the tea plate, only laughing and saying, "Miss Yao, don't worry. We asked you about your words yesterday, and you only said them. Although I'm not a good person, I always speak in person if I have any grudges or grievances. I don't do things like slandering someone behind my back, so naturally there's no need to worry about me going back and talking nonsense everywhere."

Yao Xi felt like she slapped her in the face again.

After all, words and phrases like "backstabbing" and "passing on rumors" all sound like they mean something.

She took a deep breath and said, "I asked myself if I had any grudges or grievances with Miss Jiang Er. After going back last night, I inquired about it carefully, but I didn't think there was anything that offended you. If there was some discord between Miss Er and Miss You Er, it was just targeting her. But every word you said, it was clearly aimed at me. I didn't sleep for a while, and I always felt that this was strange. Even if the girl was fighting for justice, her reaction seemed too extreme, which made me curious. What is the relationship between Miss Jiang Er and that Zhang Zhe?"

Tsk.

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 a slight resemblance, it can also be used as a reason to withdraw from Zhang Zhe's marriage.

Jiang Xuening is very sensitive.

Just these words, if we were to question her from the previous life, she might not have a clear conscience; But if you ask her this life, now she doesn't even know Zhang Zhe, where did she get any "relationship"?

Jiang Xuening leaned forward and used a teaspoon to pour the tea leaves from the tea table into the pot. Her face remained unchanged as she said, "Master Zhang Zhe is a speech official, straightforward and upright, with a pure and upright demeanor. It is said that he was well known among the people for his early imprisonment. Although Xuening is also a villain, he has come to realize a truth in the past two years. Although not everyone in the world is a gentleman, it doesn't matter to be a villain. It doesn't hurt to use the villain's way to treat villains, but if you treat gentlemen, it's best to do so. Miss Yao seems to suspect that there is something between me and Zhang Zhe, but it's only after today, Miss Yao." If you go out to inquire, you'll find out that I haven't even met this legendary Mr. Zhang once. If you want to do something about it, it's better to take a break from this thought. You think this marriage is not good, and it's understandable to want to quit. There's nothing to blame for people seeking benefits and avoiding harm. But if something is done too much, it's not good. Miss Yao wants to quit, and it will not harm herself at all. How could there be such a good thing in the world? "

"Miss Jiang Er's words are quite pleasant." Yao Xi listened to her tone, which had nothing to do with herself, and felt extremely harsh. "I only heard that you have a bad temper in the mansion, and now you are standing and talking without any pain in your back. If you encounter something like this, if you want to match such a marriage, you may not necessarily do it better than me!"

This is just spitting blood out.

Jiang Xuening thought to herself that it was the time when she knew how to be the least human in her previous life. She told Yan Lin clearly that she wanted to become the empress and that she wanted to marry Shen Jie. She didn't find any innocent reasons for herself, let alone pour any dirty water on Yan Lin and add a stigma to him.

And she also had a crush on Shen Jie before the incident at the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion.

Regardless of whether there is an accident behind the Marquis's Mansion or not, she will marry Shen Jie and has no intention of falling into trouble. It's just that two things collided and there was a suspicion of falling into a trap, adding insult to injury, making Yan Lin hate her even more.

She looked up at Yao Xi's gaze and suddenly became a bit mocking: "I don't think Miss Yao had any harmful intentions last night, but today she seems to be going all out on her own. If I were Miss Yao, first of all, I would encounter such a good marriage, and my father, who is a cabinet scholar, would think this person is good. It's not even time to get married happily. Why is there a need to withdraw? Secondly, I think this marriage is not good, and I don't want to throw the unpleasant dirty water of 'restraining my wife' on someone. How can I get married when I turn around and ask someone to get married? I have a strong personality. Fang Fang told people that I want to withdraw from this marriage. Even if I want to be a righteous gentleman, I won't force it. Thirdly, if I have a firm heart and don't want to carry the stigma of being 'snobbish', and still want to withdraw from the marriage, it's better to sit at home and wait

Yao Xi couldn't help but feel resentful as she listened ahead, pulling her handkerchief. But when she heard her last sentence, she was suddenly taken aback and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Jiang Xuening, however, was disgusted by Yao Xi at the moment. As the water on the side boiled, she said coldly, "I'm going to brew tea. If Miss Yao doesn't want to sit down and discuss tea with me, don't disturb my purity here. I'll be taking the school entrance exam soon, so why don't you take advantage of your time to read more books?"

Read more books and don't bully others into poverty.

She has gone through a lot in her previous life, and she has only learned so little. She can only be guided by the fact that she may not even marry Zhang Zhe in the future. If Yao Xi wants to understand, she understands. If she doesn't understand, it's not her fault.

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

She didn't want to stay any longer as they were all rushing guests, so she brushed her sleeves and left.

But as she walked out, she realized that the Flowing Water Pavilion was not her territory alone, Jiang Xuening. How could she rush people like she was the master?

But it would be too disappointing to enter again at this time, so I had to endure it.

*

At about a quarter past twenty, Jiang Xuening had just finished drinking two teas when someone came to pass the message outside the Yangzhi Zhai.

Only said, "Several gentlemen have now come from the Wenhua Hall and brought their test papers. At the very moment of Chen Chu, they have been taking the exam at the nearby Fengchen Hall. Please follow me and move to the Fengchen Hall."

So everyone tidied up their appearance and followed the palace people to the Fengchen Hall.

This hall is not even needed for a moment to walk past the Yangzhi Zhai where the accompanying readers live, and it arrived in no time.

Jiang Xuening looked up and saw a main hall in Fengchen Hall, with side halls and ear rooms and mountain houses on both sides. There were no carved beams or painted houses, and most of the door leaves were only painted with varnish. In front of the hall, there were only five steps, symbolizing the five virtues of a saint.

Entering the hall is like a school.

Above is the place where the gentlemen give lectures, below is a complete set of tables and chairs, with pens, ink, paper, and inkstones on the desk; A few square tables and chairs were set up against the west wall, with book grids and tea tables, which should be used for gentlemen to rest between lectures.

They each chose their own seats and sat down.

Jiang Xuening was ultimately a bit afraid of Xie Wei, and directly picked a book case in the corner that appeared somewhat dark due to poor lighting. Although it may take some time to write later, it can avoid the gaze of others.

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

Everyone immediately stood up again.

===Kunning Section 39===

Jiang Xuening stood in the corner and looked back. Today, Xie Wei was dressed in a loose green Taoist robe, with a green jade hairpin tied around his hair. His eyebrows and eyes were light and not stained with dust, and his lips had a bit of a habitual smile. He walked in from outside the hall with three other elderly scholars whose hair had turned white. In terms of appearance and demeanor, he stood out among the crowd, let alone being too young among people of the same level in the court.

There was a young lady from a prestigious family who had previously mocked others for mentioning Xie Wei's blush. It was only after seeing her that she realized that the person was not lying at the time.

Many people dare not look directly at it for a moment.

After taking a glance, Jiang Xuening immediately lowered her head: she was not afraid to look at Xie Wei, but hoped that Xie Wei would not pay attention to herself no matter what. She only needed to have a sense of presence when he called her to leave after finishing the exam.

Just

Xie Wei curled up a stack of questions and rolled them into the hall. As soon as he placed them on the table, he looked up and his eyebrows slightly moved. Sweeping around the corner again, I finally saw Jiang Xuening standing with her head hanging in the dim corner.

His fingers as he unrolled the roll gave a slight pause.

An old Hanlin beside him asked, "Ju'an, what's wrong?"

Xie Wei only pointed to the palace attendant standing at the entrance of the palace and said calmly, "If it weren't for the strong winds, rain, and scorching sun from now on, open the window sashes in the east corner."

The palace attendant immediately responded, "Yes."

Then he walked past Jiang Xuening and pushed open the previously tightly closed window sash.

The sky outside suddenly poured in, pouring all over her and shining brightly on the desk and pen in front of her.

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

In my heart, I already cursed: This posture clearly suspects that my palace is going to cheat in the dark! Shh, let me give you a "good" answer sheet this time. Let me teach you what it means to be "uneducated without skills"! I can't kill you!
