Chapter 66

The fact that Jiang Li won the first place in the Mingyi hall school examination in the upper three doors soon spread all over Yanjing City, and naturally spread to Meng Hongjin's ears.

At this moment, chengxuanshi's house was quiet. In the room, Meng Hongjin fell on the edge of the collapse and sobbed low. Meng's mother around her hugged her painfully and said, "my son, don't cry. It's just going to the third door. There are still three doors that haven't been tested. Where is the end of the mountain?"

"Disgrace!" Meng Youde, even Meng Hongjin's father, looked very bad at the moment, and said, "I made a bet with confidence, but now I've lost everything, and I'm embarrassed with your father. It's really useless!"

Meng Hongjin heard the speech, and her heart was greatly mourned, and she couldn't help crying.

Seeing that her daughter was crying sadly, Meng's mother was also very angry. She immediately said, "how can this be blamed on Hongjin? Jiang Li just returned to Yanjing city and stayed in an temple for eight years. Everyone thought her stomach was empty. How can you expect this sudden victory? Can you expect it?"

Meng Youde was speechless. He really couldn't expect such a consequence. Because of this, when he learned that his daughter had made a bet with Jiang Li, Meng Youde only lightly reprimanded the impulse, and said nothing more. Just because Meng Youde was sure that Jiang Li would lose.

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

Meng's mother said again, "I've been thinking about it for a long time, but it's not quite right. Is it not that Jiang Li used what means? You know, Jiang Yuanbai's position in the court is very important, is it not that he bribed the examiner of this verification? Otherwise, how can my pear lose to her?"

"Not bad." Meng Hongjin sobbed and said, "I have been studying here with the sisters of Mingyi hall for five or six years, and Jiang Li has only been here for less than ten days. Is it possible that she also has a school like Mingyi hall in the nunnery, which can let her study?"

Hearing his wife and daughter say so, Meng Youde thought about it in his heart. Now he has secretly taken refuge in Youxiang, that is, the people of Youxiang. Jiang Yuanbai and Youxiang have never been at odds. He is also equivalent to being an enemy of the Jiang family. It is not natural for Jiang Li to do well in the school examination now. It would be great if he could catch Jiang Yuanbai and the examiner of mingyitang colluding with each other. Nowadays, the most annoying thing for the holy emperor is that someone tampers with Wen Shi. If you can take this opportunity to severely attack Jiang Yuanbai, you will have made great contributions.

It's a blessing in disguise, and Meng Youde's heart suddenly became a little vaguely excited. He picked up his robe and put it on, saying, "I'll go out." He hurried away.

Meng Hongjin saw her father leave and her grievance was more serious. Meng's mother comforted her and said, "what are you afraid of? There are still three gates to check tomorrow, Qin, imperial and shooting. Your art of imperial shooting is already outstanding. Even if there are gentlemen in the temple, there must be no one who teaches the art of imperial shooting. Isn't Jiang Li bound to be defeated by you?"

Meng Hongjin is one of the few women in the Ming Dynasty Hall who are very interested in the art of shooting and defending. She was originally violent, but she was right about the hardness of the art of shooting. At the beginning, the horse was gorgeous and startled. Archery is also accurate, which can be comparable with a good man. In mingyitang, or the whole Yanjing City, no one dares to compete with it about shooting.

If we can say that Meng Hongjin is still excellent in the previous books, calculations and rites, the next music, royal and shooting, not to mention music, royal and shooting, are her specialty.

Thinking of this, Meng Hongjin was determined, but even so, the shame caused by Jiang Li did not disappear. Because of Jiang Li, her previous heroic words seem to have become a joke. Even a fool who just entered Mingyi hall can't compete. I don't know how many people will talk about themselves behind their backs.

Meng Hongjin's hatred for Jiang Li increased as soon as he thought of the sneering eyes of others. I can't wait to step on Jiang Li under the hoof of a horse in the calibration field next

Suddenly, an idea floated from her mind.

If you step on Jiang Li under the hoof of a horse... On the verification field, the sword has no eyes

Her heart seemed to roll in cold water, and poured a hot soup, cool and hot, slowly boiling up.

……

On the other hand, Meng Youde, who went out to find Jiang Yuanbai and "collude" with the examiner, was also doomed to fail.

As proof of fairness, the Mingyi hall school examination specially posted the transcribed first three examination papers on the side of the hall door, and countless viewers at one time.

Meng Youde was almost squeezed out, and I only heard many people talking around: "who the fuck says that Miss Jiang Er doesn't know one big character, and I have to break his head with a pole. I see that Miss Jiang er's character is much better than that of the scholar in the village school. Although I don't know a word, I also know it's good-looking!"

This is about a baiding.

There were also scholars who looked gentle, and their voice spread to Meng Youde's ears across the crowd: "the best thing is the article, citing classics and original opinions. Miss Jiang Er is a person who reads widely. After studying hard for 15 years in the cold window, she is not as good as a little girl, ashamed! Ashamed!" Then he covered his face and sighed.

"It is said that seeing words is like seeing people. Miss Jiang er's words are like men. She is quite broad-minded, open-minded, and like a heroic and good-natured man." There was a sullen way of a man with a thick beard like a soldier.

"The skill of accounting is not bad. There is a new method. This method is good. I transcribe it and use it in the shop. It's much easier than the old algorithm." There are also businessmen with gold abacus around their necks, with bright eyes.

In a word, as soon as Miss Jiang er's test paper was transcribed, all rumors were defeated. It is impossible to miss the exam of mingyitang school. Miss Jiang Er did it on the spot. Compared with the answers of the other first three, Miss Jiang er's examination paper is obviously much better.

This first place really deserves the name.

Meng Youde came out of the crowd dejectedly. He didn't have to go to great lengths to find evidence that Jiang Yuanbai had colluded with the examiner. Jiang Li's test paper can not only make Jiang Li stand out, but also bring honor to the Jiang family. The more Jiang Li is praised, the more inferior Meng Hongjin is in comparison.

It is not uncommon in officialdom for one person to rise and step on another's talent and name. Meng Hongjin also represents the Meng family. In this bet, at least in the first half, the Meng family lost.

Meng Youde walked vainly to his house, and the excited comments of the people around him gradually blurred in his ears. At the moment, Meng Youde had only one idea in his heart. Now, this bet is not a play between children. Its influence has been too great, and maybe the palace knows it. If Meng Hongjin can't pull back a game in the next three doors, the Meng family has no chance of winning.

That would be trouble.
