Chapter 149 A Surge
Jiang Jianni's face immediately turned red, and her eyes flickered: "What nonsense are you talking about? I just heard it from legends."
"Legend has it that Erlang Shen was very handsome."
Anyway, she would never say that the prototype was Uncle Jiao.
It's even less likely that when referencing Uncle Jiao, they also referenced Lu Xiangyang.
After all, Jiao Shu's Erlang Shen is truly a virtuous and upright figure.
But Lu Xiangyang, well, the two of them had slept in the same bed for almost a year, and they hadn't been pretending on the surface.
She knew very well that beneath this man's righteous appearance and striking features, his mischievous and clever nature from childhood had not changed at all.
In particular, although this person has a high sense of morality, he is not rigid.
Overall, this person is a bit cunning and shrewd, but not so cunning and shrewd as to be off-putting.
There's nothing wrong with making Erlang Shen a little more down-to-earth, isn't there?
Looking at her, Lu Xiangyang's eyes were full of laughter: "Alright, you came here based on legend."
Jiang Jianni felt even more embarrassed and stood up to walk towards the study: "I, I'll go see how Jiang Haiyang is doing in his practice."
Lu Xiangyang watched her enter the house holding her belly and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Aunt Liu had already sensed something was wrong and hid in the kitchen.
Jiang Haiyang didn't pay attention to his second sister and brother-in-law flirting.
During his time at his second sister's house, he witnessed firsthand how the couple interacted.
It was such a tender and affectionate scene.
At first he was a little embarrassed, but then he calmed down—if the person involved didn't mind being seen, why should he, an outsider, be embarrassed?
But now!
He was still very angry!
"Second sister, you've never told me that you're the author of 'The Sequel to Investiture of the Gods'!"
Jiang Jianni was much calmer when facing the little brat: "What's the point of telling you? Can you write it for me even if I tell you?"
Jiang Haiyang: "..."
Jiang Haiyang said angrily, "Well, if you told me, I could be happy too."
Jiang Jianni: "It's not too late for you to be happy now."
Jiang Haiyang: "..."
He suddenly had a brilliant idea: "Sis, what do you think? Why don't I try writing a novel like you and submitting it for publication?"
Jiang Jianni quickly said, "Stop!"
Do you think you can do it?
"You write essays like you're writing instruction manuals. Do you think anyone will read the stories you write?"
Jiang Haiyang really has a science-oriented mind.
Listen to the teacher explain math, physics, and chemistry once, then think about it on your own, and you can easily get full marks. At most, you might lose a minute or two or three marks because of carelessness or messy paper.
I'm okay with humanities subjects that require rote memorization; I can memorize 80 or 90 out of 100.
However, questions that require analysis and imagination become dramatic.
For example, in Lu Xun's "There are two trees in front of my house, one is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree," the question asks to analyze why Lu Xun wrote it this way and what ideas it reflects.
He was stumped by this kind of question.
I have absolutely no idea how to answer.
He knew that articles were paid based on word count.
His answer was that Mr. Lu Xun wrote a lot of repetitive nonsense in order to earn more royalties, and as a result, he was singled out and scolded by the homeroom teacher.
His essays were even more absurd.
Jiang Jianni felt a headache after reading it.
The whole thing is dry and boring; it's just a pile of words.
Not only are there no beautiful words, but even the sentence structure is just plain and straightforward.
He doesn't know any rhetorical questions, interrogative sentences, imperatives, or the like.
It felt like I had learned a fake Chinese language.
If he could easily get full marks in math, physics, and chemistry, then he would have to work very hard to get 80 points in Chinese, and even then, he could easily drop to 60 or 70. Without effort, he could only get 50 or 60.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have only scored 580 points in the college entrance exam. Out of 120 in Chinese, he only scored 72 points, making him a major drag on the overall score.
This was the result of Jiang Jiani's hard work in tutoring.
This guy actually wants to write a story now?
Jiang Jianni felt that the difficulty was comparable to the Chinese national football team qualifying for the World Cup, and she didn't even dare to mention winning the championship.
Jiang Haiyang immediately looked embarrassed: "Well, it's not that bad, is it?"
Jiang Jianni chuckled: "Do you need me to tell you how many points you got on your college entrance exam in Chinese?"
Jiang Haiyang fell silent.
Jiang Jianni: "You have to see if you have the talent before you can do anything."
"I think you should focus on studying computers."
Jiang Jiani doesn't understand computers.
She only knows the most basic usage.
But Jiang Haiyang had only read a few books, yet he had already started trying programming.
Although Jiang Jianni couldn't understand it at all and didn't know how well he had learned it, the fact that he could figure out how programming was done through self-study showed that he had a good talent in this area.
Jiang Jianni said, "In that case, you should study computers well."
"Once you've finished your studies, I'll tell you about a few games and see if you can make them. If you can, wouldn't you be able to make money?"
"To make money, you should focus your efforts on what you're good at."
Jiang Haiyang: "...I understand, I will study hard."
There's no need to worry about Jiang Haiyang's studies. He's always very proactive when it comes to things he likes, studying so diligently that he forgets to eat and sleep, and he doesn't need anyone to urge him at all.
Her biggest problem now is how to spend money.
After paying the taxes, Jiang Jianni thought long and hard and then contacted Yang Anni.
After receiving the letter, Yang Anni immediately called, excitedly asking, "Sister, you also want to buy a house in the capital? Really? You're not kidding me, are you?"
Jiang Jianni: "It's true, it must be true, why would I lie to you?"
"However, I don't have much money right now, so I can only buy it with a loan. I don't know much about the situation there, so I'd like you to tell me about it."
Yang Anni's spirits lifted: "Sister, do you know what? The house I bought has gone up in value!"
This is normal; it's the capital city after all. It would be abnormal if prices didn't rise. Jiang Jianni remained very calm: "How much did they rise?"
Yang Anni said excitedly, "When I bought it, it was only 80,000 yuan, and it's only been a few months? The house price here has already reached 120,000 yuan."
Her words were filled with disbelief: "It's only been five months, and it's already increased by more than 30,000."
"If I hadn't seen someone buy a house for more than 120,000 yuan with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it."
"Sister, I really want to thank you properly."
"If I hadn't listened to your advice and bought a house, I would still be renting a place. Now, I not only have my own home, but I also have a lot of money!"
Her work is going quite smoothly.
Perhaps she has endured too much hardship in life, because her acting skills are visibly improving.
In addition, although she is not particularly beautiful, she has a lot of potential.
She can play both good and bad characters; her acting range is very wide.
Moreover, since she took on a supporting role last time, more production teams have been asking her to act, and they are all minor supporting roles with names and identities.
This also means that her income has increased.
Yang Anni said, "I've saved up some money recently and I want to buy a house. I plan to take out a loan to buy it."
"Sis, if you're thinking of buying a house, come over here and let's go take a look. How about we buy one together? That way we can be neighbors!"
