Chapter 274 A Person, a Pen
Xiao Yanli took the secret letter and read it word by word.
"The Xu family should not be underestimated, not to mention that now there is another Jiang Kang'an."
Uncle Zhang sighed, "The weakness of the Xu family is that they value love. If it weren't for..." He was halfway through his words, as if he thought of something, and swallowed his words back, and then said, "Forget it, anyway, isn't Your Highness also worried about this Jiang Zhiyu? As long as this plan succeeds, she won't bother Your Highness."
...
The Imperial College is in the East City of Shengjing. Jiang Bojian and Yin Qingrui walked side by side, and Meng Hong and Shi Zongxin laughed and played behind them.
"If you ask me, you don't have to be like this. The imperial examination is to see a person's real talent and knowledge. Even if your sister is in charge of the imperial examination, can she directly get you to the top position?"
Shi Zongxin put his arm around his shoulders and grinned.
Yin Qingrui took his hand off Jiang Bojian's shoulder and snorted: "Don't talk nonsense at this critical moment. Bojian just doesn't want to be criticized."
Jiang Bojian chuckled.
Before he could say anything, five or six students came towards him. When they saw Jiang Bojian, they looked him up and down. After seeing the book in his hand, they raised the corners of their lips and sneered, "Brother Bojian, why do you have to act
like this? Everyone in the Imperial College knows this. The position of the top scholar is just a piece of cake for you." His words were really heartbreaking. Shi Zongxin retorted, "Why? Envy? Who made you not so lucky to have such a good sister like Bojian?"
The leading student sneered, "I'm different from him. I have real talent and knowledge! Unlike him..."
"Come on," Shi Zongxin retorted before he finished, "Real talent and knowledge? A few days ago, it was you who stripped the clothes of the people from the Hanlin Academy and stuffed things into them?"
"You even secretly sent a message to others. I thought of you first. Tsk, tsk, tsk."
The man was angry and pointed at Shi Zongxin without saying a word. He opened his mouth and said, "You...you..."
"Why are you so noisy?"
A serious voice came, and several people immediately fell silent and saluted obediently: "Master."
The master's surname was Li. He was the most conservative in the entire Imperial College. There were so many rules that it was a headache.
"Don't make loud noises, and don't deliberately cause trouble."
Master Li looked at the students and frowned slightly.
The students nodded again and again, like chickens pecking at rice.
Fearing that he would punish them after he finished speaking, the students took advantage of his pause and left one after another. For a while, only he and Jiang Bojian were left.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Shi Zongxin touched his head and looked at him again.
The other three were also a little nervous.
"I have seen the reason from behind just now. They were the ones who started the fight. It's not your fault."
They were all stunned for a moment. Yin Qingrui came to his senses first and bowed to him. The others followed him.
Master Li accepted it calmly and then looked at Jiang Bojian: "Your mentality is unstable. What you have taught me recently can no longer be described as bad, but a mess."
Hiss.
Shi Zongxin and the other two stared at Jiang Bojian, fearing that he would be extreme.
Jiang Bojian held the book in his hand and forced a smile: "Master, don't worry, I understand."
Master Li nodded: "After all, the Sixth Prince is older than you. Now that he has recovered his sanity, it is normal for him to suppress you. Don't worry about it."
Jiang Bojian naturally knew this. He had heard this in his sister's thoughts as early as the beginning.
He lowered his head obediently, no matter what the master said, he just nodded mechanically.
After a long time, Master Li left from the other side.
Shi Zongxin and Yin Qingrui were thinking about comforting him, but Meng Hong said: "I seem to have forgotten my pastries in school. You two go and get them for me."
Pastries? What pastries must be picked up now?
Shi Zongxin frowned slightly, and was about to speak when he was pulled away by Yin Qingrui.
"Hey...what are you doing!"
When the two of them disappeared from sight, Meng Hong pulled Jiang Bojian into the woods nearby.
Jiang Bojian: "???"
"Tell me the truth, did you plan all this?"
Jiang Bojian was slightly surprised by Meng Hong's words, but he didn't say anything.
Meng Hong took his expression into his eyes and answered himself: "It seems so."
"Are you doing this to deceive some people?"
Seeing Jiang Bojian's eyes wandering, Meng Hong said: "If you are not comfortable saying it, then nod or shake your head."
Jiang Bojian nodded twice in succession to answer Meng Hong's two questions.
Meng Hong: "..."
From Jiang Bojian's expression, Meng Hong could also guess something. He pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it, I won't ask anything. Just know it in your heart."
His tone was a bit sad.
Jiang Bojian licked his dry lips and couldn't help but say, "Don't worry about me. I know what I'm doing, but..."
He moved closer to Meng Hong and said mysteriously, "The secret cannot be revealed. I can't say too much."
Meng Hong: "..."
I was not worried at first, but now I am worried.
Since returning to the Imperial College, Jiang Bojian tried A Ye to verify the authenticity of Jiang Zhiyu's words, and secretly followed him. Sure enough, he saw him and Gao Wen secretly conspiring.
Exposing them in person would be too easy for them. Ah Ye is just a book boy, and he can deal with him at any time. As for Gao Wen, the plan has not been accomplished yet. Even if
it is exposed, she will only be lectured by Si Zheng. It is better to let them think that they are going to succeed. After the plan is exposed, they will be punished.
However, he knew all these from his sister's thoughts. They are the secrets of heaven. He has read many stories, and those who leaked the secrets have no good end. Therefore, Jiang Bojian did not dare to tell these things to his friends, in case they were implicated...
Meng Hong did not know the twists and turns in Jiang Bojian's mind. Seeing that he should know the situation, he finally breathed a sigh of relief after being worried for days.
"So, your messing up your homework is also part of your plan?"
Jiang Bojian lowered his head slightly, a little embarrassed: "Yes."
In order to make them believe him, he kept trying to write it down, but every time he wrote, his hands would not listen to him.
There was no other way, he could only put the homework at the end, and when it was due the next day, he would write it quickly at night.
One person, one pen, one night, one miracle.
The effect was surprisingly good.
Because he stayed up half the night every night, his complexion was not very good, and he was thin to begin with, so he really looked like he was hit.
Seeing him admit it, Meng Hong thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out why he was like this, so he could only cough lightly: "Although I don't know what you want to do, at least don't miss the main thing. Although the Sixth Prince was punished by the emperor, in my opinion, he will come back in a few days."
"Besides, I'm worried that he will come to trouble you."
