"Hey, it's you. Are you here to take part in the prefectural school examination as well?" Shen Ci's shoulder was suddenly patted by someone. He was startled and turned his head to see a girl in light yellow clothes who was in high spirits.
Shen Ci showed a faint smile, and the dimples on his cheeks deepened a little.
[Hello, Miss Lu.] Shen Ci gestured. Because of the Green Pavilion's help that time, and because Lu Ying knew people from Yipinzhai, Shen Ci had a very good impression of her.
The person who came was Lu Ying. She couldn't understand sign language, but she could barely guess what it meant.
"Yeah, you're here too. You came by yourself, right?"
Shen Ci looked at her doubtfully.
Lu Ying's cheeks puffed up slightly, and she looked unhappy: "I was forced to come here by my parents."
Lu Ying can read and write, having attended a private school before. She is not stupid, but she does not like studying. Instead of memorizing all those nonsense, she would rather take a whip and whip it around in the courtyard.
She is a person who can't calm down.
But her parents said that this time studying in the provincial school was a rare opportunity. If Lu Ying did not take the exam and could not enter the provincial school, they would not recognize her.
Helplessly, Lu Ying had to come, and she had to take the exam seriously to ensure that she could enter the provincial school, otherwise her parents would definitely beat her legs when she returned.
"By the way, why are you here?" Lu Ying asked curiously after she finished vomiting her bitterness. It's not that she looked down on Shen Ci, but the last time she saw Shen Ci, he was still handing out flyers.
Chen Ci gestured, and this time the content of the gesture was a bit complicated. It took Lu Ying a while to digest what Chen Ci had gestured, after a mixture of guessing and guessing.
"You are Qing'er's brother? His biological brother!?"
Shen Ci nodded.
Lu Ying's mouth widened in surprise. After a long while, she sighed, "That's really fate."
She looked at Shen Ci and found that he did look a lot like Qing'er.
At this time, the time for the assessment is approaching.
Lu Ying patted his shoulder and said in a rather heroic manner, "Do well in the exam, and we'll talk after you're done."
【You too.】 Shen Ci gestured.
Lu Ying: "Okay." With so many people asking her to do well in the exam, it was impossible for her to cheat.
Lu Ying returned to her seat.
Shen Ci also sat down again. He clearly felt that some of the eyes around him were on him. There was curiosity, inquiry, disdain, and contempt...
Shen Ci didn't know why they looked at him like that, but he didn't care. He wanted to concentrate on preparing for the next test.
Not far from him, a few people gathered together and talked in low voices, glancing at Shen Ci from the corner of their eyes.
"Did you see that? That person seems to be mute and can't speak."
"Yeah, what kind of school is this? Can just any random person get in? If a mute can come, then people with missing limbs can also come."
"He was just talking to Lu Ying. You should know who that young lady is. Lu Ying's parents are the county magistrates of Rong County. I heard they will be promoted soon. Moreover, the Lu family is on good terms with the family of Lord Bai, the current prefect of Tangzhou Prefecture. That mute actually knows Lu Ying. He's really lucky."
"That's right. Look at his clothes. His family background is definitely not comparable to Lu Ying's."
They all agreed that Chen Ci was marrying above his station.
The clothes Shen Ci was wearing were bought for him by Qing'er.
To be honest, Qing'er wanted to buy better clothes for him, but considering Shen Ci's current situation, she chose decent clothes.
If Shen Ci were asked to wear a gorgeous dress and be with Chengzi and the others, he would definitely not be willing.
