After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

After the prince listened to Jiang Chen talk about what happened in Xiliang, he said to Jiang Chen:

"After this matter is over, it's time for you to prepare for next year's scientific examination with peace of mind."

Jiang Chen nodded and said to the prince:

"Your Highness is right. It's time for me to calm down and prepare for next year's imperial examination. But now I don't even know much about what is being tested in the imperial examination. I have to see where to start first. Start studying. Now when I pick up a book, I feel a lot of pressure."

The prince saw him helpless and thought he was just being modest, so he smiled and said to him:

"At the royal banquet, even the Confucius of Xiliang Kingdom was overshadowed by you. I have never seen you cower. You are actually afraid of next year's imperial examination. This is not something you can say. But don't worry. , I promised to find you a good teacher last time, and I will definitely keep it this time. You prepare things in the past two days, and I have found a good teacher for you. He used to be my Taifu, and now he is in Taixue If you want to teach, I will recommend you to him. I believe that you, a great talent, will not let me down."

Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little awkward when he thought that Jiang Feng and Hu Peng were both in Taixue. If he went there in the future, he would have to spend time with Jiang Feng and Hu Peng day and night.

But when he thought about being bullied by them when he was a child, the desire in his heart was aroused.He thought for a moment and said to the prince:

"The prince has really thought carefully. Jiang Chen is so good and capable. Thanks to the prince, he is able to study in the Imperial Academy. I am truly lucky. There is nothing to deal with at home. I can enroll at any time."

The prince quickly said:

"Jiang Chen, after I showed the poems you wrote to the Grand Master, he simply regarded you as a genius in the world of poetry. He praised you to me and said that he was able to accept someone with such good qualifications as your student. Glory. As long as you are willing to study with him seriously and with your intelligence, I believe that you will definitely be on the list in next year's scientific examination and win the title of Toad Palace. By then, your talents will also be famous all over the world."

Jiang Chen gratefully said to the prince:

"I didn't expect that the prince would have such high hopes for me based on these few poems I wrote. This made me particularly scared. If I lose my reputation, wouldn't I lose the prince's face? So, Prince, it’s better not to be so full of words in front of others. Don’t end it badly, then you will be embarrassed.”

The prince waved his hands and said to him:

"You don't have to be modest. I don't think people will miss you. I will send someone to pick you up when the time comes."

Li Susu who was on the side felt incredible after hearing what the prince said to Jiang Chen.She tentatively asked the prince:

"Is the person His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just mentioned my Chen'er? Do you think the poems he wrote can be compared to the old master of Xiliang Kingdom? Why didn't I know about this?"

Jiang Chen said to his mother lightly;

"Mother, what His Highness the Crown Prince said is exaggerated. I just wrote a few poems based on my feelings at that time, but the Crown Prince regarded them as masterpieces. Your Highness is encouraging me. I will strive to reach a higher level in the future. Write better poems and I will definitely show them to my mother when the time comes."

Li Susu believed Jiang Chen's words because he knew that his son's education had not been interrupted despite these years.But it is impossible for him to write any good poems.

Since he intends to take the imperial examination next year, let him give it a try. Anyway, he is still young, and he can learn more by participating in more experiences.

Thinking of this, he thanked the prince and said;

"Your Highness has really gone to great trouble. For the sake of Jiang Chen's future, he asked him to study at Taixue. He is truly lucky to have met you. I'm afraid that Jiang Chen will not be able to live up to His Highness's wishes in the future, and I'm afraid you will be disappointed by then."

The prince looked at Jiang Chen, and the two smiled at each other. Li Susu's worries were justified.

She was afraid that the prince had paid so much now, but the result would be unsatisfactory.She stopped talking here first, so as not to disappoint him in Jiang Chen later.Unexpectedly, the prince smiled and said to her:

"Don't worry, Mrs. Jiang. I like Jiang Chen and am more optimistic about Jiang Chen. No matter what the outcome is, I will let him learn more knowledge. Nothing else matters."

After seeing the prince off, Li Susu called Jiang Chen in front of him and said:

"Son, my mother is very satisfied with you as you are now. As for the prince's expectations for you, you just need to try your best to do it. It doesn't matter whether you succeed or not. Don't make it too difficult for yourself, just be yourself. That’s good.”

Jiang Chen knew that his mother was worried about him, and just as he was about to comfort her, he heard a girl's voice in the yard:

"Anyone at home?"

Mother Wang hurriedly walked out, only to hear her say in surprise:

"Miss, you are not in the Hou Mansion, why are you here with us?"

Jiang Chen and Li Susu heard the familiar voices outside and stepped out.

In the yard, Jiang Yingxue appeared in front of him with his little maid Yu'er.

Before Li Susu could speak, Jiang Yingxue quickly came to Li Susu and saluted her:

"Madam, how are you doing lately? Yingxue is here to greet you."

Li Susu looked at Jiang Yingxue and was stunned for a moment. In the past, in the Hou Mansion, Liu Ruyi rarely let his three children come to her yard to pay their respects.So her relationship with Jiang Yingxue is not very close.

Now that she suddenly came to the door, Li Susu didn't know how to greet her.

However, when Jiang Chen saw Jiang Yingxue, he said to her:

"Sister, why are you here? Do you have anything to do with us?"

Li Susu also asked her:

"Yes, Yingxue, you are not in the Hou Mansion, what are you doing here."

Jiang Yingxue said:

"Madam, Jiang Chen, Yingxue has no place to go, can I stay here for a few days?"

Li Susu said to her:

"Yingxue, you can live here as long as you like, but you have to tell me clearly what happened in the Hou Mansion."

As soon as she said this, Jiang Yingxue's tears fell.

The little girl Yu'er on the side stepped forward and gave Susu a gift, then said;

"Madam, let me tell you. Today, Prime Minister Hu's Mansion suddenly sent a matchmaker to propose marriage to his son Hu Peng, Miss Xiang. Unexpectedly, the Second Madam agreed without asking our Miss's consent at all. When the young lady found out, she went to the second lady and told him that she didn't like Hu Peng and hoped that she would not agree to the Hu family's proposal of marriage. But the second lady insisted on having her own way. No matter how much the young lady begged her, she not only refused to cancel the engagement, but also talked about the important matter of marriage. It was the matchmaker's words ordered by the parents. Not only did the young lady have no right to speak, but she also scolded the young lady. In a fit of rage, the young lady left the Marquis' Mansion. We had nowhere to go, so after much deliberation, we decided to join the big family. Madam is here. If even the eldest lady doesn’t take us in, we will really be homeless. I hope the eldest lady will take pity on our young lady and don’t drive us away.”
