Chapter 40, Could it be that you've teamed up?
Last time, the CPU even overheated. When the two of them woke up, they specifically checked it and found that they had indeed memorized all the books they had read.
It's as if these things are engraved in my mind, and I'll never forget them.
Because of this, Jiang Huai'an has been secretly reading other books during class lately, since the knowledge he has memorized is not very meaningful to him.
Jiang Ruanruan thought to herself, lest she cause a scene by sleeping in late, and then her brother would have to explain it all over again, which would be too much trouble.
Let's just remove the label of "good-for-nothing" from both of them all at once.
"I don't believe it! They must have memorized the book beforehand!"
Lu Zirou's face was somewhat unpleasant; she already found it hard to accept that this so-called Jiang Ruanruan was so good at reciting.
If even Jiang Huai'an, that bastard, is one, she feels that she and her brother will have a hard time establishing themselves in the Jiang family.
"That's not impossible. Let's change the book then. Jiang Huai'an, how about I, the chief priest, test you?" The chief priest also wanted to know if these two children were different from the others.
"Please give me the questions, Master!" Jiang Huai'an wasn't too nervous. Anyway, the only things that could be found in the classroom were the Four Books and Five Classics, which he and Jiang Ruanruan had already read. Writing a good essay would be a bit difficult, but memorizing them wouldn't be a problem.
“Alright, the Analects, the second chapter of 'Governing,' this chapter has a rather complex theme. I don’t know if you have read it before, or if you can memorize it.” The Chancellor glanced at Jiang Huai’an, but hesitated, after all, this part of the content was still too early for Jiang Huai’an.
Their class is just a beginner class, mainly focused on teaching literacy. It's already good enough if they can learn some principles. It's a bit too advanced to teach them political articles. Even if some children can read them, they won't be very interested.
Teaching this article would have to wait until next year, and Jiang Huai'an is only 7 years old. The headmaster is already regretting choosing this article.
"I've read this one before, and I can recite it from memory."
"You think you can just read it and memorize it? You're really bragging. You'd better think this through. If you mispronounce even one word, you'll have to copy it all over again!"
Hearing this person speak so arrogantly, Lu Ziyuan had an idea. He couldn't let the two of them be punished no matter what.
That would be so embarrassing. If Jiang Huai'an were also punished, the siblings could at least save face.
“I didn’t place any bets with you guys, why should I have to follow along with this…”
Jiang Huai'an had originally planned to just recite it from memory, but Lu Ziyuan suddenly jumped out at this moment, and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He couldn't blame Lu Ziyuan for this.
"We were all punished, why aren't you punished!" Lu Zirou shouted.
"If you insist on doing this, then you two have to make a bet with me. If I make a single mistake, you two will each copy this text five times, finish it within three days, and then memorize it once after three days. If you make a mistake, you will copy it once and continue to memorize it for another three days until you make a single mistake. Do you dare to do that?"
Jiang Huai'an glanced at the two of them sideways, his expression full of provocation.
"We dare, what's there to be afraid of? If my brothers can memorize it, are we any less intelligent than them? We can definitely memorize it too..." Lu Zirou said confidently.
No matter what, she was reborn from her previous life. In her past life, she was a talented woman praised by everyone, far superior to these two children.
Even if I lose, I might still be able to recite this article word for word and amaze everyone.
“My sister is right, we are definitely smarter than them and can memorize better!” Lu Ziyuan would never admit that he was inferior to the Jiang siblings.
These four people suddenly started reading.
Listening to the conversation between the Lu siblings, Jiang Huai'an and Jiang Ruanruan exchanged a glance, both speechless.
Where do these two get their confidence from?
"Since you're willing to gamble, then so be it. Instructor Lin, could you please help me draw up a contract? I'm afraid these two might renege on their debt later!"
"Bah, Jiang Huai'an, fine, let's make a contract! Anyone who doesn't abide by it is a dog!"
Lu Ziyuan and Lu Zirou didn't have too many thoughts on this, since the copying would be completed in three days anyway, and at their current pace, they could finish the remaining copying by tomorrow.
There's more than enough time to memorize it with just one more day left.
They even believed that as long as they copied diligently, they might be able to memorize it after copying it a few more times.
Jiang Huai'an naturally signed and sealed the document. It was just a matter of copying it a few times. Even if he lost, he wouldn't suffer as much as the Lu siblings. Besides, he couldn't possibly lose.
"Alright, let's see how Jiang Huai'an embarrasses himself!" Lu Zirou and Lu Ziyuan stood happily to the side watching the show.
Confucius said: "Governing with virtue is like the North Star, which remains in its place while all the other stars revolve around it..." A total of 24 passages, which Jiang Huai'an recited fluently.
The Lu siblings stared at the book, their expressions growing increasingly grim as they listened.
"How is that possible? He really memorized it all, not a single word missed!"
Lu Zirou was shocked by the thought of having to copy something 10 times, not to mention memorizing two articles. If she made a mistake in memorizing one word after three days, she would have to copy it again. If she made ten mistakes, she would have to copy it more than ten times.
"No, I don't believe it..." Lu Zirou, who was already on the verge of falling asleep while standing, fainted from anger after being greatly shocked.
Chun Chun was so frightened that she fainted; her eyes rolled back, and she fell to the ground.
Lin, the instructor next to him, grabbed the back of his collar, preventing him from falling to the ground.
"Everyone saw it, she just fainted. But this bet is no joke. Even if you faint, you can't skip copying anything when you get back. If you can't memorize it, you'll have to keep copying!"
Lu Ziyuan, who had originally planned to faint, decided not to.

Jiang Ruanruan curled her lips into a smile; she had made a fortune this time.
"Siyue, I don't believe it! They must have just gotten lucky and happened to be able to recite these two passages. I'm not convinced!"
Looking at Jiang Ruanruan's smile, Lu Ziyuan felt that there was something fishy about it.
“We can accept the bet, but that can never be an excuse for them not to listen in class and to sleep over there. Her behavior must be punished.”
Lu Ziyuan pointed at the two of them. He now even suspected that these two had conspired with the instructor and Teacher Lin to deliberately set a trap for the brother and sister.
"Unless I designate two articles, they must both be punished. Otherwise, I have reason to suspect that you two siblings are in cahoots!"
Lu Ziyuan's words made both the Director of Studies and the Chancellor look uneasy.
"Are you saying that I conspired with the Chief Priest and those two to deliberately deceive you?" The Director of Studies was so angry that he laughed.
"Then why don't you look for the problem within yourself? Maybe you're just an idiot who's easy to fool!"
This is the second time he has been wrongly accused, and he has truly reached his limit.
These brother and sister really know how to stir things up.
"Fine, fine, Siye, you admit it. You colluded with them!" Lu Ziyuan was so angry that he couldn't think straight.
This reading comprehension ability, coupled with sleep deprivation, directly leads to negative thinking abilities.
"Fine, fine, so that's what you think..." Siye was so angry she was practically grinding her teeth. What was with wanting to bite a child alive? She really dared to say that.
Zhang Zichen stared at the Lu siblings with his mouth slightly open.
