Chapter 14 The enemy of my enemy is my friend

Xu Wan smiled like a vicious queen: "It's just to test your knowledge and see if it meets the admission standards of Hanlin Academy."

If he doesn't strike back at this brat, he will never understand that with his limited knowledge, he can only take one step toward passing the entrance exam, and there's no way he can go any further.

Although Zong Jincheng has always been confident.

But when it comes to the unfamiliar word "exam", my heart always starts beating fast.

What will be the content of the entrance examination for Hanlin Academy?

Does he know how to play cricket fighting, horse racing, or Cuju?

I wouldn't ask you to recite poetry and sing right away...

Not to the extent that it is not to the extent that it is.

According to his friends, there are many young men of his age who cannot recite the Four Books and Five Classics.

After all, those academies are for making money. They can't deliberately set a very high threshold to exclude him, the eldest grandson of a marquis, right?

Zong Jincheng made up his mind.

Going to Hanlin Academy was the quickest way for him to escape from Xu Wan's clutches.

There is no danger of swords and fire waiting for you.

There he goes!

"Okay, let's take the test. I'll go tomorrow!"

It's just a small test, Young Master Zong is not afraid!

Xu Wan nodded and said to Cuizhi with relief, "Then go and get ready."

Cuizhi: "Yes, there are pens, ink, paper and inkstone at the Hanlin Academy. I will go and bring some dry food to the young master."

Zong Jincheng just wanted to leave.

Hearing this, I was suddenly confused again: "???"

"Dry food? What dry food?"

Isn't he just going to take a test?

Why do we need to prepare dry food?

It's not like he's going to move out of the Marquis' Mansion right away!

Cuizhi smiled and said, "Young Master, you don't know that Hanlin Academy is the best academy in our capital. There is a saying in the market that 'entering Hanlin is equivalent to taking a step into the official career', so students from all over Da Chu are scrambling to study here. The entrance examination papers are more difficult than usual. You have to work from morning to night, and you have to prepare dry food in advance to avoid being hungry."

“…”

The little devil's face changed visibly from white to blue, from blue to black, and from black to purple.

An entrance exam involves so many things, is this something a human being can do? !

"No more exams! I won't go!" Zong Jincheng knew it was difficult and decided to give up this idea.

Just kidding, with this kind of question, he would lose all his face if he went there.

It’s better to give up as soon as possible!

Xu Wan was surprised by this change.

She didn't expect Cuizhi to hide nothing at all. Before she could trick the little devil, she exposed the difficulty of Hanlin Academy, which scared the little devil so much that he gave up directly.

Xu Wan frowned and gave Cuizhi a cold look, which scared her so much that she quickly lowered her head.

Cuizhi was, after all, the eldest maid serving the old lady. Although she was always steady in her actions, she still did not put Xu Wan and the old lady on the same level in her heart. Her casualness in conversation led her to make this verbal mistake, and she was extremely scared in her heart.

But Xu Wan just glanced at her.

Then he said to Zong Jincheng in a serious tone, "If you want to go to the academy, you can only go to the Hanlin Academy. As for other places, I won't allow you to go."

The woman's words were neither light nor heavy, but powerful and with an I am the queen and I am the greatest tone, which was both arrogant and irritating.

Xu Wan knew that she couldn't trick Zong Jincheng anymore, so she just laid out her cards with a cold face and said, "No, it's not allowed."

If he really has the ability, he should try it out.

Zong Jincheng was angry and annoyed.

But under Xu Wan's coercion, he could do nothing but rage helplessly: "You just want to force me to study! I've seen through you!"

Xu Wan admitted fearlessly: "Yes, so what?"

Is it useful to see through it?

Can you knock her to the ground?

Can we overthrow her hegemony and become the master?

The answer is of course no.

Zong Jincheng clenched his fist angrily, unclenched his fist angrily, turned around and ran outside.

Damn!

How abominable!

This bad woman!

How many lifetimes of bad luck did he have to meet someone like this to punish him!

The anger in Zong Jincheng's heart grew more and more intense, and the resentment in his heart grew heavier. He began to blame his grandparents for not caring about him, then he blamed his mother for having disappeared, and finally he blamed Zong Zhao for not returning home. Otherwise, how could he, the eldest grandson of a marquis, live such a depressed life!

The Marquis' Mansion is clearly his home, but now he seems to be living under someone else's roof!

It started to rain, a fine drizzle fell on people's heads and wet Zong Jincheng's eyes.

Shunzi shouted anxiously from behind: "Young Master, please run slower. The road is slippery in the rain, be careful not to fall. I have an umbrella in my hand..."

Zong Jincheng turned a deaf ear to Shunzi's voice. He wiped the rain off his face, lowered his head and ran forward.

bad woman.

Don't think I'll beg for mercy.

Just give up on this idea. I won’t cry and I won’t give up!!

The rain was getting heavier, but the little figure running in the rain was getting faster and faster, as if secretly competing with someone.

"ah--"

Zong Jincheng had just run out of the yard and didn't notice the person kneeling at the corner, and his whole body fell directly over!

"Bang——"

The little devil had thick skin and tough flesh, and he acted as if nothing had happened after falling down. He got up from the ground, wiped the rain from his forehead, and then he could see clearly who was in front of him.

Zong Wenxiu.

The illegitimate son of the second wife.

Zong Wenxiu was about the same age as him and grew up in a slum. Even after he was taken back to the marquis's mansion, he still wore linen clothes every day. Although he was neatly dressed and clean, in the eyes of outsiders he looked like a country boy who had come to the city.

Zong Jincheng didn't like talking to him.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

Because his friends would laugh at him for having a country brother, which is embarrassing.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Zong Wenxiu was knocked to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time, nor did he respond to him.

Zong Jincheng saw that he ignored him, so he lowered his head to check, and saw that the rain on his body had turned red. He asked anxiously, "Are you bleeding?"

Zong Jincheng immediately turned around and shouted, "Shunzi, Shunzi, quickly call the court doctor to come and check him out."

"Yes, yes, I'll go call someone right away!" Shunzi handed the umbrella in his hand to Zong Jincheng and ran outside quickly.

Zong Jincheng was never afraid of getting wet in the rain, but now that he was injured, it would be better for him to have an umbrella to support himself.

Thinking of this, the noble Master Zong held an umbrella over the two men's heads and said, "Are you okay? The court doctor will be here soon."

With an umbrella over your head to protect you from the rain.

Zong Wenxiu then climbed up from the ground, said it was okay, and knelt back down.

The young boy's figure was as straight as a pillar. Even though his nose was still bleeding, his clear eyes did not change, as if the blood was not his.

Zong Jincheng stared with wide eyes, then noticed his posture, and said in astonishment: "It's raining, and you're injured. What are you doing kneeling here? Have you also been tortured by that woman?"

It is said that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

When Zong Jincheng thought that this might have been done by Xu Wan, he immediately felt that he was no longer a helpless and pitiful person.

He wants to join hands with Zong Wenxiu to defeat the evil woman who has usurped his throne!

However, after thinking for a long time, he found that all the ideas he came up with were wrong.

Zong Wenxiu raised his head, and the rain slid down from the top of his head. He was already thin, and now his whole body was wet, like a homeless cat.

After a while, he finally said, "I want to see the lady."
