Chapter 196: Deep Cunning

When the others heard what Ruan Gaofei said, their expressions suddenly changed.

After studying for more than a year, he was able to win the first place? Is that amazing?

In addition to knowledge, luck is definitely an important factor!

Everyone's eyes were suddenly filled with bright light. When they looked at Song Jingyun again, the light in their eyes was so bright that it almost burst out, and they moved even closer to Song Jingyun.

Take some luck! Since Song Jingyun has such good luck, if they talk to him more and stay with him for a while longer, they will surely get some luck and stand out in this autumn exam.

After all, they have studied hard for so many years, and this autumn examination is the time to decide a person's fate.

Especially those who failed in the competition three years ago, now they just want to pull Song Jingyun's sleeves so that they can take advantage of it.

When Ruan Gaofei first saw that others were shocked and surprised, with complicated expressions on their faces, he felt proud for a moment. But when he saw that everyone was surrounding Song Jingyun as if she were a rare treasure, his expression fell again.

I was also very puzzled.

Are these people crazy? They don't care about the ability to read, but only care about the luck of the person? Logically speaking, they are all well-read people, how can they believe in these empty things?

Seeing himself surrounded by people from all directions, Song Jingyun felt a little suffocated and said, "But sometimes luck isn't so good..."

For example, every time he took an exam, the food that some people next to him brought with them was especially delicious, which made the glutton in his stomach burst out.

For another example, whenever the results were announced, the food he wanted to eat would always be sold out and he would not be able to buy it even if he wanted to.

Also, every time after he passed an exam, the food he ate would not taste sweet for two or three days, and would taste like chewing wax, which was really uncomfortable.

So many times, Song Jingyun also felt that the imperial examination was not a good thing.

It really affects the enjoyment of food! However, the imperial examination is very useful.

Especially after he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, he felt more relieved when he heard others address Jiang Mixia as "Scholar's Wife" with respect and courtesy, and when he saw others looking at their entire family with a little more admiration, he felt a little relieved.

The imperial examination can protect my wife, my family, and deter those villains. Even if it can't satisfy my appetite, it's worth it.

When others heard Song Jingyun say that he had bad luck, they just thought he was joking and did not leave. Instead, they laughed with Song Jingyun and started chatting about other things.

It's even more like the moon surrounded by stars just now.

Ruan Gaofei was very angry when he saw his good friend Yang Anning also surrounding Song Jingyun. He became even angrier and just stomped his feet and walked out of the teahouse.

After Yang Anning finished talking to Song Jingyun, he looked around and didn't see Ruan Gaofei, so he hurried downstairs to look for him.

When he saw Ruan Gaofei walking down the street angrily, he quickly chased after him, "Brother Ruan, what are you doing?"

"It's fine if other people can't figure things out, but why are you like this, Brother Yang?" Ruan Gaofei was indignant. "Those people, who are scholars, are putting their hopes on luck instead of studying hard. It's really ridiculous!"

“Brother Ruan, you don’t understand this?” Yang An Ning laughed. “Since ancient times, scholars have looked down on each other. Looking at these candidates who came to take the Autumn Examination, each of them boasted that they had studied hard for many years and believed that they were well-read. Even if they failed the Autumn Examination, it was definitely not because they were not talented enough, but because of bad luck.”

"So now when everyone heard that Song Jingyun was very good, they naturally wanted to get close to him, trying to get a little bit of luck and get a good ranking in this autumn exam."

"But then again, Song Jingyun is quite interesting. If it were someone else, if they were really lucky, they would definitely keep it secret, but he said it out loud..."

"If you ask me, this Song Jingyun might be a big shot."

Because he knew that scholars looked down on each other and that failure in the imperial examination was only due to luck, he deliberately said that he was lucky in order to establish his prestige and attract others to follow him?

Ruan Gaofei immediately understood this truth, and his teeth clenched even harder, "What a meticulous mind!"

What a deep scheming mansion! If such a person of virtue really passed the imperial examination and became an official in the future, I really don’t know how chaotic the officialdom would be! Ruan Gaofei stood on the street and looked up at the teahouse, his eyes were like torches, and he wanted to glare at Song Jingyun in the crowd.

At last, he glanced at Yang An Ning and asked, "Since you have seen through this, why did you get close to Song Jingyun just now?"

Yang Anning, "..."

Touching his nose, Yang An Ning chuckled, "Everyone left just now, if I don't go, it would seem a bit weird, so..."

Actually, I was thinking of going to have a look and see if I could get some luck!

Ruan Gaofei glanced at Yang Anning, snorted coldly, and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Yang Anning touched his nose again, looked up at the teahouse, then looked at Ruan Gaofei's figure leaving in anger, shook his head and smiled, put his hands behind his back, and left slowly.

In the following days, because of two consecutive rains, Song Jingyun never went to the teahouse again, and only reviewed his studies and practiced calligraphy in the inn.

Xun Yuanbai came to see him three times a day and wanted to have breakfast, lunch and dinner with him.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Even after dinner, she refused to go back to rest immediately, but instead kept talking to him.

This made Song Jingyun a little depressed.

Being pestered by Xun Yuanbo, I can't go to bed early with my wife and chat under the quilt.

For this reason, Song Jingyun decided to "stay in bed."

He claimed that he had caught a cold and needed to rest more, and also advised Xun Yuanbo to come less often to avoid getting sick.

Xun Yuanbai, "..."

This young man, has he forgotten that he is not only a heavenly master, but also a heavenly master with superb medical skills? Without taking his pulse, just by looking at his rosy complexion and the twinkling light in his eyes, he knows that he is as healthy as a bull! But since the young man said that he was sick and didn't want to pass on his illness to him, it must be because he disliked this old man being a bit redundant, so he should naturally be more sensible.

Xun Yuanbo did not expose Song Jingyun. He just nodded silently, asked Song Jingyun to have a good rest, told Jiang Mixia to take good care of him, and went back to his room to rest.

After I went back, I was filled with emotion for a long time.

Oh, oh, oh…

If he was wrong, he should be punished by God instead of being fed with food and despised by the young couple.

Because of this incident, Xun Yuanbai was very upset. He tossed and turned all night and could not sleep well. He closed his eyes when it was almost dawn and slept until almost noon.

Being too lazy to go out, Xun Yuanbai asked the waiter to bring over a portion of soup so that he could have a bite while it was still hot.

Not long after, the waiter brought scallion pancakes and a pot of hot pickled fish.

Xun Yuanbai, "..."

Xun Yuanbo: I am just a bowl of pickled fish, sour, vegetable and redundant 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
