In her previous life, Wen Yan married into the Marquis's estate for over a decade. Upwards, she helped her mother-in-law defeat concubines and regain control of the household. Downwards, she he...
Chapter 409: Failed the exam
Huo Yaoxing has been in the private room.
He stood by the door, listening to everything that happened outside.
When he saw Wen Yan beating someone up for a guy named Ying Zhilin.
He was very unhappy.
Wen Yan was so despicable and vulgar that she actually slapped his wife in public for a man.
This is tearing off his face and stepping on it!
Where are the hypocritical and artificial reserve and cultivation in her previous life?
really.
She was just a piece of mud. It was only because she followed me in her previous life that she started to look a little bit like a woman.
If you marry a peasant in this life, you will become no different from a shrew.
Outside the door.
"I hit you, do you dare to hit me back?" Wen Yan repeated what he had just said to her.
"You..." Wen Ruyue's eyes turned red with anger, and she raised her hand to slap Wen Yan.
However, the slap did not land on Wen Yan's face, and her arm was grabbed by Ying Zhilin.
Ying Zhilin gave him a gentle push.
Wen Ruyue was pushed and staggered back.
Wen Yan pointed at Wen Ruyue and scolded, "Wen Ruyue, just because your husband failed the exam doesn't mean my husband can't do it!
If you despise your husband for being cowardly and incompetent, don't take it out on others!
If I hear you spreading rumors about my husband again, I won’t just give you two slaps.”
Wen Ruyue glared at Wen Yan angrily: "You are not wrong, you were the one who helped him cheat.
I exposed your scheme in public, and you hit me!"
"Who said my junior brother has no talent for studying?" Lu Tanzhang shouted at this time: "Since you are so skeptical, then I have no choice but to prove it for my junior brother."
“Our junior brother is my master’s last disciple.
My master is the principal of Wutong Academy - Ji Rushan.
The junior fellow apprentice became a disciple at the age of twelve. He is very intelligent and has a photographic memory.
My master has been keeping him by his side every day, teaching him attentively for four years. Is it difficult for him to pass the exam and become a scholar?"
Everyone gasped.
Unexpectedly, Ying Zhilin is the mysterious last disciple of Master Ji.
They may not trust the Imperial College, but they will definitely trust the vision of Wutong Academy.
The most important thing for them when accepting students is the student's character.
It should be known that if Lin dared to cheat in the exam, the Wutong Academy would clean up the mess without anyone else doing anything.
Therefore, it was really this woman who was wrongly accusing Ying Zhilin.
This woman has such a vicious mind.
Scholars valued their reputation above all else, not to mention the connection to cheating in the imperial examinations.
This woman has such a vicious mind.
He wanted to destroy Ying Zhilin directly!
Everyone looked at Wen Ruyue with disgust.
Wen Ruyue felt uneasy when being stared at by so many people.
But she still said stubbornly: "So what if I'm the closed disciple of Wutong Academy? Don't people from Wutong Academy make mistakes?
Even saints make mistakes, let alone us ordinary people!
Everyone should agree not to fall for their sophistry."
Wutong Academy is a holy place for scholars all over the world. Wen Ruyue's slanderous words were like water dropped into a frying pan, instantly igniting the anger of all the students.
Some glared at her, while others retorted, “You are a mean person.
Wutong Academy is the best academy in Dayong. If you want to get admitted to study, academic talent is the least important thing, and character is the most important thing.
They are unlikely to lie, let alone commit fraud.”
Tsk, it's just a shabby academy, how can it compare to the Imperial College? Scholars are just so hypocritical!
Wen Ruyue rolled her eyes and grinned, "In a big forest, there are all kinds of birds. In such a big academy, there are bound to be some that slip through the net."
The scholars felt that as scholars, it was not appropriate for them to chat with a woman, and they were so angry that their faces turned red and their necks became thick.
Wen Yan found it a little funny to see that a group of scholars were left speechless by a woman.
She was just about to help them save some face.
"Make way, everyone, make way." Then a man dressed as a servant pushed through the crowd and ran up hurriedly from the first floor.
The servant was running out of breath.
Wen Ruyue immediately grabbed the servant by the collar and asked anxiously, "How is it? What place did the prince take the exam?"
The servant's knees suddenly went weak and he fell to the ground.
He trembled and said, "I'm...I'm sorry. I didn't find the prince's name on the list."
"What did you say?" Wen Ruyue asked in disbelief. "Are your eyes just for show? You don't even recognize the prince's name."
The servant knocked his head to the ground, and shouted, "I have searched from beginning to end three times, but I really can't find the name of the prince.
Maybe... maybe the prince didn't pass the exam."
When Huo Yaoxing, who was inside the door, heard this, his eyes went dark and his body began to sway.
Fortunately, he grabbed the wall in time and did not fall to the ground.
He knew that he hadn't done well in the final exam and that the chances of him making the list were slim.
But when he really heard the result, he still couldn't bear it for a while.
The dispute outside continued.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if the prince didn't get the first place, he should have ranked second. How could he not be on the list!" Wen Ruyue was so angry that she was determined to defend Huo Yaoxing's honor.
He raised his hand and slapped the servant in the face.
Still not satisfied, she kicked the boy in the chest again.
The servant screamed and fell to the ground.
"Oh, who was it that just said that her husband was a top scorer in the imperial examination and would take the top spot in the imperial examination in the future?
With that momentum, I thought I had received some inside information and it was a done deal.
I didn't realize I was daydreaming.
Not to mention passing the imperial examination, he didn’t even pass the ordinary imperial examination. It’s so funny.”
The woman whose private room had just been robbed and slapped by Wen Ruyue laughed out loud in the crowd.
Wen Ruyue was so angry that her face turned blue and white.
The whispers around her seemed to mock her from the first syllable.
"I don't believe it. My husband can't fail the exam. I want to go and see for myself." Wen Ruyue pushed everyone away and hurried towards the Imperial Examination Hall.
After the troublemakers left, there was nothing exciting to watch, so everyone left.
A few people who wanted to make friends with Ying Zhilin stayed and approached him to chat.
It should be known that Lin is the center of attention.
He was so busy that he was overwhelmed, but he still looked at Wen Yan from time to time, for fear of losing him.
There were too many people and the private room was too small, making it seem cramped.
The newlyweds exchanged pleasantries for a moment before someone suggested, "Brother Ying, we have a gathering this afternoon with our fellow enthusiasts. Are you guys free to join us?"
Ying Zhilin did not agree rashly. He first looked at Wen Yan.
Seeing Yan nod, he looked at Gu Dun again: "Senior Brother..."
Gu Dun bowed to the person who invited him and said, "Then I will bring my brothers with me to bother you all."
After agreeing, they prepared to leave together.
Ying Zhilin sighed and walked over to Wen Yan: "I suddenly don't want to go to the party anymore."
"Why?" Such interactions will be inevitable in the future.
This guy must be stage fright. This is not good for being in the officialdom!
