Chapter 183 [Visitor from Deserted Island]
Upon hearing this, Xue Wei hurried to look at the cheat sheet given by the deputy monitor in the group. He had directly rejected Jiang Wanyue countless times, but Jiang Wanyue still pestered him. He really had no choice but to pray that the deputy monitor could help him solve the big trouble at hand.
Xue Wei replied to Jiang Wanyue: "I just want to show you that there are other good men in the world, such as Mr. He Lin."
"A girl doesn't have to hang herself on a tree."
Jiang Wanyue shook her head, very affectionately: "Now that I have seen him, I still only like Xue Lang."
Xue Wei said helplessly, "I'm completely focused on the scientific examination and don't have the energy for romance. I'm afraid it will affect my performance. I asked Miss Jiang out today because, firstly, I wanted to thank her for her kindness to me, Xue, and secondly, I wanted to explain this matter to her."
Jiang Wanyue was about to act pitiful when she heard Xue Wei's refusal, but then she heard Xue Wei continue, "Please don't come to me again until the results of the imperial examination are out."
"If Miss Jiang wants to marry into my Xue family in the future, then I am doing this now for Miss Jiang's own good."
Is this matter related to marrying into the Xue family?
As expected, upon hearing this, Jiang Wanyue stopped being unreasonable as before. Instead, she asked with wide eyes, "Xue Lang, what do you mean?"
Xue Wei looked at the cheat sheet Zhou Jushan had given him in the group chat and said, "The girl is interested in me now, and everyone in the capital knows it."
"But if Xue gets close to the girl now, and if he performs poorly in the imperial examination, what will the people in the capital think?"
"I would feel that the girl was pestering me and affecting my performance."
Xue Wei's words were sincere and touched Jiang Wanyue's heart. "Of course I don't think so. But I can't influence the opinions of my parents, relatives, and friends. This matter will definitely affect your good reputation. It will be difficult for you to marry into the Xue family in the future. Please think twice."
Jiang Wanyue fell into deep thought after hearing this. After Xue Wei said this, she was also afraid that if Xue Wei did not perform well in the exam, she would be blamed.
"I really don't want Miss Jiang to be criticized, so for the sake of the overall situation, please wait until I become successful and famous."
Xue Wei's words and deeds were all for Jiang Wanyue's benefit, and the big promises he made had already given Jiang Wanyue the illusion that Xue Wei would marry her after he succeeded in the imperial examination.
"At the moment, I am most familiar with Miss Jiang, and Miss Jiang's family background is first-class, so there is no need to worry."
After thinking through the pros and cons, Jiang Wanyue stepped back a few steps and saluted. "I didn't realize that Xue Lang was actually thinking about me. It was Wanyue who was not considerate enough. I will not bother you for the time being. When Xue Lang passes the imperial examination, I will come to congratulate him again."
When Xue Wei heard Jiang Wanyue's words, he was ecstatic. She was the deputy monitor and understood women's hearts the best!
It turns out that he has to follow Jiang Wanyue's wishes and keep Jiang Wanyue's interests in mind in every word, only then will Jiang Wanyue listen to him.
"It's getting late today. I can't stay at the flower viewing banquet for too long. I should go back and review my lessons. Take care."
Xue Wei had never seen Jiang Wanyue so easy to talk to. It seemed that this time, if she said she would not bother him, she really would not come to see him again.
Xue Wei had never felt so relaxed before——
Until Jiang Lili gave him a red envelope with a pile of review materials as high as a mountain.
@Jiang Lili: Student council member, I know you're a genius, but you can't be careless about the imperial examination. This pile of review materials is all ancient poetry and essays by famous writers. You must study on time. We, the whole class, will supervise you!
@Hou Xiaoxiao: Student council member, with your academic talent, thorough preparation, and overwhelming modern thinking, it would be unreasonable if you didn't take the top spot this time!
@Zhou Jushan: I was counting on you to gradually climb the ladder to the position of Prime Minister. Then, you and I could work together internally and externally. We'd be a treacherous duo! Let's turn this bastard emperor's court upside down!
@李销冠: Yeah, back then you could get into a top political science university with just some casual study. Now, what's even better than that if you study hard?
With the whole class placing such high hopes on him and giving him so much advice, and with the hidden danger of Jiang Wanyue still not being completely resolved, Xue Wei didn't dare to slack off any longer.
As soon as Xue Wei returned home, he began to study diligently. He thought a lot that day.
Now he is still the son of the Grand Tutor, with no power and no authority. The daughter of the Minister of Personnel can pursue him so badly that he has no way to refuse.
After experiencing today's turmoil and witnessing the battle commanded by Xia Su from the Bingmasi Division, Xue Wei's restless and confused heart completely calmed down after traveling back to ancient times.
Ancient times were different from modern times. The examination system and environment were far more complicated than the college entrance examination and the civil service examination. There were more things to weigh and consider. If you were not careful, you might lose your life and implicate your classmates.
He wanted to take power for himself and grow into a mountain that no one could shake, and also become a pillar of support for his relatives, friends and classmates.
The light in the study of the second son of the Taifu family was on all night.

In just over half a month, He Lin's name had spread throughout the capital.
Everyone discussed his extraordinary appearance, the aura of wealth and prosperity that emanated from him, even the flowers he cultivated were like celestial treasures, attracting butterflies in early winter. He was unafraid of the powerful, having immediately disciplined a Beijing bully who had been caught riding a horse while drunk. He was friendly and attentive, and sincere and reliable in his business dealings...
In short, He Lin completely dominated the hot search headlines in ancient times, attracted countless fans, and became a big star in ancient times. The same incense, furniture, silk fabrics, folding fans... that he used were often out of stock, making him a walking sales expert in the capital.
From then on, the He family's business in the capital city flourished!
As the major shareholder, Jiang Lili's face has been numb from smiling these days.
He Lin showed her the accounts. She earned more than 6,500 taels of silver in dividends from the small commodities sold at the flower viewing banquet alone.
Adding to what he had earned during his exile, the small treasury now has a rough estimate of 50,000 taels of silver, not to mention the booming business of the He family flower shop, which will have to share the profits every month in the future.
After half a month, the new home in the cave was ready.
Although it is a mobile cabin, the exterior has been decorated with ivy and vines, blending in with the cave environment. The inside and outside of the house are decorated in Chinese style, so it does not look out of place in the cave at this moment.
Then use the dug canals to bring the hot spring water in the cave to warm the flowers and plants in the cave. Now the environment where Jiang Lili lives is like a forest fairy tale.
That day, Jiang Lili asked Xiaopang to hand over a bottle of spring water from a spring discovered near the cave hot spring to an agency for testing.
The results showed that this spring water is not only safe and harmless, but drinking it can also prolong life.
Cooking with this natural spring water is not only delicious but also healthy, it’s simply delicious!
However, Jiang Lili, Xin Che and others did not tell outsiders about the existence of this cave. Instead, they carefully built a wooden house at the foot of the mountain behind Yeli Village as a cover. Everyone stayed here when they returned to the village to do business.
On this day, Jiang Lili taught the villagers in the wooden house how to hand-grind coffee beans and make raw coconut latte.
As a workaholic, she used to work part-time as a barista at Ruixing Coffee and knew the recipe by heart.
Just as Jiang Lili was preparing to demonstrate the process, the children of the Yuanbao Gang suddenly came to the wooden house and hurriedly said to Jiang Lili, "Boss Jiang, someone is coming from Cangsha Ferry!"
Jiang Lili was shocked that someone came to this remote place.
"But Wen Xiaomei's sister is back with the fleet?"
The children shook their heads: "No, they are just strangers."
"It seems like there's a conflict with some foreign fishermen!"
