Lin Zan looked at the densely packed handwriting on the test paper and instantly felt dizzy. She could recognize all the words when they were read separately, but she couldn't understand them when they were put together.
Reciting these obscure sentences silently in his mind, Lin Zhan was completely dumbfounded, and felt that he was too confident just now.
After coming to this era, although Lin Zan could read, he usually only studied medical skills with the dean and did not learn much else.
Seeing the noble ladies around picking up their brushes and beginning to answer seriously, Lin Zan was the only one biting the tip of his brush with his brows twisted into knots.
"You have one hour to answer your questions, starting now." The female teacher above did not give Lin Zan a chance to react and directly announced the start of the test.
Lin Zan had no choice but to pretend to understand and picked up the brush, but she couldn't put pen to paper because she really couldn't understand what was said!
As time went by, Lin Zan had no choice but to bite the bullet and write a few random words he made up, and then handed in the test paper.
The time was up, and everyone was waiting for the test results to be announced. Wang Lanye came over and said to Lin Zhan, "How did you do?"
"It's a mess." Lin Zan stood there with a depressed look and muttered.
But Wang Lanye was stunned, not quite understanding what she meant by "confused".
"It means you failed the test." Lin Zan saw the confusion on Wang Lanye's face and explained.
Wang Lanye was stunned for a moment, then she chuckled again. "It doesn't matter, you are still young, just learn slowly."
After listening to her comfort, Lin Zhan finally felt better. Of course, his good mood only lasted until the moment when the teacher announced the results.
There is no doubt that Lin Zan was assigned to the Yellow Class. Qinglan Academy is divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuan and Huang. The Heaven Class is naturally the class for the ladies with the best test scores.
Lin Zhan's terrible test paper only resulted in her being assigned to the Yellow Class. However, she was somewhat comforted by the fact that there were many girls of her age in the Yellow Class.
Since coming to this world, Lin Zhan has never made any friends of the same age as herself. This made her depressed mood disappear immediately and she became energetic again in an instant.
"What qualifications do you, a daughter of a concubine, have to sit here? Get out of here!"
Just as Lin Zhan was looking around, a sharp and out-of-place voice suddenly rang out in the room. She looked in the direction where the voice came from.
Then I saw three or four girls surrounding a girl with a timid look and scolding her with vicious words.
"A concubine's daughter who is not presentable enough was admitted to Qinglan Courtyard only by relying on the influence of Madam Defei. It is an insult to me to let me take classes with a concubine's daughter."
A girl wearing a blue and red jacket and a gold hairpin on her head spoke arrogantly to the girl she pushed to the ground.
Hearing the words "Empress Defei", Lin Zhan instantly perked up, then tugged at the sleeve of the girl next to him, pointed over there and asked, "Who is the girl who was pushed over to Empress Defei?"
The girl sitting next to Lin Zhan was the granddaughter of the elder, Tian Ningxi. She had chubby cheeks and a complexion as delicate as white jade. She smelled sweet like candy, which Lin Zhan liked very much.
That's why Lin Zan decided to sit at the same table with this girl who didn't look too annoying.
When Tian Ningxi heard Lin Zan's words, she turned her head to look in that direction, then retracted her head in fear and spoke in a low voice.
"That is Empress Defei's concubine's sister Yu Zhimo. If it weren't for Empress Defei's relationship, she wouldn't be able to enter Qinglan Courtyard. Concubines are only fit to be servants of legitimate daughters."
Lin Zhan frowned in dissatisfaction when he heard these words. "A concubine's daughter is also a human being, why should she be a slave to the legitimate daughter? They are half sisters with the same father but different mothers."
"Oh, don't talk nonsense. How can anyone be sisters with a concubine's daughter?" Tian Ningxi immediately said righteously.
Lin Zhan knew that their minds would not change easily, so she didn't say anything more. Yu Zhimo had already been pushed to the back by those girls.
"Who is that girl? Why is she so domineering? It seems that no one in the classroom dares to mess with her." Lin Zhan poked Tian Ningxi's arm curiously again, pointing at the girl who drove Yu Zhimo away.
Tian Ningxi smiled, took out a candy from somewhere and stuffed it into her mouth, then said, "That's Tang Yu, the daughter of the Grand Master, and also the sister of Tang Xiu from the Heavenly Class. Naturally, she is extremely proud."
When Lin Zhan heard the name Tang Xiu, her mind was devastated, because if she remembered correctly, Tang Xiu was Jun Beiqi's original wife.
She would later become the Crown Princess. Although the original book did not describe much about the relationship between Jun Beiqi and Tang Xiu, Tang Xiu was the one who accompanied the Crown Prince to the end.
No matter what kind of suffering Jun Beiqi suffered, Tang Xiu never left him, and this became a legend for a while.
While Lin Zhan was thinking, a female teacher came in and said to the people below with a cold face, "My name is Qingshu, and from today on, I will be your teacher."
"Hello, Master!" Everyone stood up and saluted the Master.
The teacher nodded and started today's class. After learning a lot of nonsense, Lin Zan finally left school.
Then she remembered that she had to live with others in Qinglan Courtyard, which was equivalent to a modern dormitory.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhan became a little hesitant, wondering who she would be assigned to the same dormitory with.
At this moment, Bixia was already waiting outside. She took the book box from Lin Zhan's back and said with a smile, "Miss, I have prepared your favorite food. Let's go back."
There was no way to avoid what was coming, so Lin Zan could only resign himself to following Bixia. However, she didn't expect that she was the only one in the room when she entered.
"Sister Bixia, am I the only one living in this room?" Lin Zan asked curiously.
Bixia smiled and nodded. "This was arranged by the Queen, because she was worried that the young lady would not be used to living with others."
This instantly made Lin Zhan's mood turn from gloomy to sunny. Being able to live alone would naturally be the best. It seemed that she was right to ask Liu Qiuchan for help.
However, this special treatment made the other noble ladies regard Lin Zhan as a thorn in their eyes.
Before evening, Tang Yu came with a few people. Without even saying hello, he pushed open Lin Zan's door.
At this moment, Lin Zhan was eating snacks. He had not completely swallowed the pork jerky in his mouth. He looked at Tang Yu who pushed the door open with a dazed look.
"You are Lin Zan, and you look no different." Tang Yu said with a stern face.
He looked around the room with haughty eyes, becoming even more jealous.
