Marriage of the Di Daughter

The news that Jiang Li went to the third school and won the Mingyi Hall Examination for the head of the school quickly spread throughout Yanjing City, and naturally it reached Meng Hongjin's ears.

At this moment, Chengxuan's mansion was completely quiet. In the room, Meng Hongjin was lying on the edge, sobbing softly. Mother Meng who was beside her hugged her distressedly, and said, "My son, don't cry anymore, this is just the third door, isn't it that there are still three doors that have not been tested, how can we reach the end of the mountain?"

"Shame!" Meng Youde, even Meng Hongjin's father, had a very unsightly expression at the moment, and said, "I made a bet with someone with a well-thought-out plan, but now I lose completely. Even your father and I are ashamed, what a useless thing!"

When Meng Hongjin heard the words, she felt great grief in her heart, and she couldn't help crying even more.

Seeing her daughter crying sadly, Meng's mother was full of resentment in her heart, and said immediately: "How can you blame Hongjin? That Jiang Li just returned to Yanjing City and stayed in the nunnery for eight years. Everyone thought her stomach was empty. How could you expect to win the championship suddenly this time? Can you expect it?"

Meng You was speechless, he really couldn't have expected such a consequence. It is precisely because of this that when he learned that his daughter had made a bet with Jiang Li, Meng Youde only lightly reprimanded him for being impulsive, but did not say anything else. Just because Meng Youde was sure in his heart, Jiang Li would definitely lose.

As a result, reality slapped him hard. Thinking of the teasing eyes of his colleagues when he went to court today, Meng Youde felt very irritated in his chest.

Meng's mother spoke again: "I've thought about it and it's not quite right. Could it be that Jiang Li used some tricks? You must know that Jiang Yuanbai's status in the court is very important. Could it be that he bribed the examiner for this test? Otherwise, I How could Li'er lose to her?"

"That's right." Meng Hongjin said with sobs: "My sisters and I have studied here for five or six years, and Jiang Li has been here for less than ten days. Could it be that she is also a student in the nunnery like Mingyi Hall?" Museum, can we let her go to school?"

Hearing what his wife and daughter said, Meng Youde began to think about it. Now he has secretly taken refuge in the right minister, that is the right minister's person, Jiang Yuanbai and the right minister have never been on good terms. I am also an enemy of the Jiang family. It is not natural for Jiang Li to do well in the school exam now. It would be great if Jiang Yuanbai and the examiner of Mingyi Hall could be caught in collusion. What the Holy Majesty hates the most today is someone tampering with civil servants. If he can use this to severely hit Jiang Yuanbai, he will be considered a great meritorious service.

It's a blessing in disguise, Meng Youde suddenly became a little excited. He picked up his robe and put it on, said: "I'll go out for a while." Then he left in a hurry.

Seeing her father leave, Meng Hongjin was even more aggrieved. Mother Meng comforted her and said, "What are you afraid of? Isn't there still three exams? Tomorrow, you will start to take the three exams. Qin, Yu, and She are the three exams of your imperial archery." Even if there are masters in the nunnery, there must be no one who teaches the art of imperial archery. Then Jiang Li will definitely be defeated by you."

Meng Hongjin is one of the few women in Mingyi Hall who is very interested in archery. She originally had a violent temperament, but she just happened to be tough for the archery technique. At the beginning, the royal horse was amazing, and the archery was as accurate as a good man. In Mingyi Hall, or in the entire city of Yanjing, no one dared to compete with Sheyu.

If talking about the three disciplines of calligraphy, calculation, and etiquette before, Meng Hongjin is still considered excellent, but the following music, imperial, and archery, not to mention the joy, imperial archery, are her forte.

Thinking of this, Meng Hongjin calmed down a bit, but even so, the sense of shame caused by Jiang Li did not disappear. Because of Jiang Li, her previous rhetoric seems to have become a joke. He couldn't even compare to a fool who had just entered Mingyi Hall, how many people would talk about him behind his back.

As soon as Meng Hongjin thought of other people's sneering eyes, her hatred for Jiang Li increased. I can't wait to step on Jiang Li under the horse's hoof on the inspection field...

Suddenly, a thought popped up in her mind.

If you step Jiangli under the hoof of a horse... On the test field, the sword has no eyes...

Her heart seemed to be rolling in cold water, pouring another hot soup, it was cold and hot, and slowly boiled.

...

But on the other side, Meng Youde, who went out to find Jiang Yuanbai to "collude" with the examiner, was doomed to return in vain.

In order to prove the fairness of the Mingyi Hall exam, the first three exam papers that had been transcribed were posted on the side of the hall door, and there were countless spectators at that time.

Meng Youde was almost squeezed out, but he heard many people around him commenting: "Who the hell is Miss Jiang Er who can't read a single word? I must smash his head with a shoulder pole. I think Miss Jiang Er's writing is better than that of the village school." The scholar in the book wrote much better, even though I don't know a single word, I know it looks good!"

This is about a white ding.

There was also a scholar who looked gentle, and his voice reached Meng Youde's ears through the crowd: "The most wonderful thing is the article, citing classics, and unique insights. Miss Jiang Er is a person who has read a lot. After studying hard for fifteen years in Xiahanchuang, but Not as good as a little girl, ashamed! Ashamed!" Then he covered his face and sighed.

"It's said that seeing characters is like seeing people, but Second Miss Jiang's characters are like a man's, with a big heart, open and comfortable, like a heroic and good-looking man." A man with a thick beard who looked like a soldier said in a muffled voice.

"This calculation is not bad. There is a new method. This method is good. I will transcribe it and use it in the shop to manage the accounts. It is much easier than the old method." There are also businessmen wearing a golden abacus around their necks. .

All in all, once Miss Jiang Er's test paper was transcribed, all the rumors were self-defeating. It is impossible to miss questions in the Mingyi Hall Examination, Miss Jiang Er should do it on the spot. Comparing the answers of the other top three, Miss Jiang Er's test paper is obviously much better.

This first place is truly worthy of the name.

Meng Youde walked out of the crowd in a daze, he didn't have to spend his time trying to find evidence that Jiang Yuanbai colluded with the examiner. Jiang Li's test paper will not only make Jiang Li stand out, but also the Jiang family will be honored. And the more praise Jiang Li got, the more Meng Hongjin looked inferior in comparison.

It is not uncommon for one person to rise to the top by stepping on another person's talent and fame in the officialdom. Meng Hongjin also represented the Meng family. In this round of betting, at least the first half, the Meng family lost.

Meng Youde walked towards his house in a frivolous footstep, and the excited discussions of the people around him gradually became blurred in his ears. At this moment, there is only one thought in Meng Youde's mind, the bet up to now is not a joke between children, its influence is already too great, maybe the palace knows it too. If Meng Hongjin can't win a round in the next three rounds, the Meng family has no chance of winning.

That would be troublesome.
