Yao Jinrong's expression suddenly froze, and his body trembled even more violently.
W-what? Does this mean they think I'm bad at studying?
Jin Wenting said, "I remember that in the past, only those who passed the county-level examination could enter the county school. However, my grandfather changed the rules so that all students in the country could study diligently, allowing even those with good grades to enroll. This person is not good at studying at all, so how can he enter the county school?"
The county magistrate and the instructor were quite embarrassed.
I was just praising the students in the county school to the prince, saying they all had excellent grades. Now I've encountered someone who can't write a single word. What a humiliation!
Thinking of this, they glared at Yao Jinrong fiercely: "What's wrong with you?"
Yao Jinrong was sweating profusely with anxiety and subconsciously retorted, "No! That's not true. I was the top scorer in the county examination two years ago! How could I not know how to study?"
The man glanced at you coldly: "Oh? You didn't write a single word, yet you're still the top scholar? Could it be that you've received someone's protection, thinking you have a backer and can become the top scholar all the way through without studying, even achieving the highest honors in the imperial examinations?"
The sharp and sarcastic remarks made Yao Jinrong turn pale.
He had a vague feeling that these words sounded familiar. After thinking for a long time, he realized that they were almost identical to what he had said when he led the insults against Xia Qingzhai!
"I just—I just can't think of anything right now. No, I mean I want to write it properly, to mentally prepare a draft... The exam has only just started, and many people haven't written anything yet!"
Jin Wenting snorted coldly: "But I see that many people have written it out."
"They've all written nonsense! They've all written haphazardly!"
Suddenly, Yao Jinrong thought of something and shouted urgently and excitedly. He even stood up abruptly, stretched his finger behind him, pointed at Tong Su, and screamed.
"Take Xia Qingzhai for example! He just writes nonsense! If you don't believe me, go and read his articles. He's definitely just writing random things to reach the word count!"
The commotion attracted the attention of the students in the examination room. Most of them were writing diligently when they suddenly heard the shrill scream. They were so frightened that their hands trembled, and they drew long ink marks on the paper, ruining the entire exam paper.
"My test paper!"
"Who's screaming? Don't you know this is an exam hall and you can't shout? This is just the joint exam. If this were the actual college exam, you'd be in serious trouble!"
"What do you mean by 'major mistake'? It's clearly a serious crime! If you were shouting like that in the provincial examination hall and caused me to ruin my paper, I would want to kill you!"
The students destroyed their papers and were unable to answer the questions, forcing the exam to be declared a failure.
They were furious, their eyes instantly turning to Yao Jinrong with hatred: "Yao Jinrong! What are you yelling about?!"
Yao Jinrong realized he had shouted the wrong thing. He looked up in a panic and saw all the students in the examination room staring at him. Only in the opposite room, Tong Su was still calmly answering questions, as if she hadn't been affected at all.
He felt he had found evidence!
"Xia Qingzhai is just scribbling! Look at his handwriting, it's not messy at all. He's obviously not paying attention and isn't taking it seriously at all! You say I don't study hard, but Xia Qingzhai is clearly doing worse than me. Go and see him!"
He roared, throwing the entire examination hall into chaos. The county magistrate and the instructor, their eyes blazing with fury, shouted, "Yao Jinrong! Haven't you done enough of this nonsense! You don't even know how Xia Qingzhai did, what are you spouting?"
Yao Jinrong didn't believe it at all: "You don't admit it? Fine, then let everyone see for themselves! If he writes well, I'll apologize to him, okay? Xia Qingzhai, do you dare to post your article and let everyone see it?!"
