Silly Scholar's Wife

The names were read out from Jiang Haohai's mouth one by one, and the ranking did not change much. Qi Junfeng rose two places, from fifth to third.

Wang Qingquan is like the second child in ten thousand years, still firmly at the bottom, and the others are basically unchanged.

Those who went to Fucheng for the entrance exam, there was no need to announce it, they were naturally among the top ten. At this moment, everyone already had a conclusion in their hearts.

"Take the top ten in the joint entrance examination."

Jiang Haohai said: "Leave in three days, Master Fan will lead the team, all students prepare your bags in advance, don't miss the schedule."

As in the past, he explained the questions of the monthly exam, and then commented on the shortcomings of these students, but he still surpassed Mu Chenxi and kept silent.

Don't you know that those students below, after he announced the ranking, all eyes fell on Mu Chenxi.

If Mu Chenxi didn't rank in one mistake, what about the second time?It is still at the critical time of the entrance exam.

The previous guesses in their hearts were unrealistic, and anyone could see that there must be something inside.

It's just that these are not things that they can care about and find out, so they can only ignore them.

After class, Mu Chenxi walked out of the Juyuan as usual. He had his own place to play.

"Humph."

Cheng Jinwen stared coldly at his back, "If you say there is no problem here, I really don't believe it."

Xiao Ruxi glanced at him, and did not rush forward to join as usual.

The last time he supported Cheng Jinwen, he had a memory all his life, and he didn't dare to join in casually, it was really embarrassing.

"It seems that he knows why he is not ranked. Otherwise, with this entrance exam, why would he not be in a hurry."

Cheng Jinwen's face was gloomy, and he gave a bitter "Pooh", "He's just playing with us, he's from a poor family, he doesn't even want face when he sees money."

Hearing his endless muttering, Qi Junfeng couldn't help but frowned and looked at him, and said, "It's you who sent it to the door yourself, and you'll know if you're going to win or not if you're a fool."

"Yes."

Seeing Qi Junfeng's rebuttal, Xiao Ruxi also said: "You also know that his family is poor, so why would he not want the free money? Even we can't watch the money being handed out, can we?"

"I just can't take this breath."

Cheng Jinwen's eyes were full of unwillingness, he was so humiliated, it was all because of his own initiative, how could he just let it go.

"If he relies on his ability and his real knowledge is higher than ours, then this matter will be fine, and he will admit it no matter how much face he loses."

He glanced at Qi Junfeng and Xiao Ruxi, and said, "But Mu Chenxi is so tricky, isn't he playing us for fools? You can also swallow this breath?"

"Then what do you say?"

Xiao Ruxi asked, what Cheng Jinwen said was also reasonable, mainly because this matter was too strange, and he also wanted to know the reason.

"Brother Qi."

Cheng Jinwen looked at Qi Junfeng, "Aren't you going to show the article to Mr. Fan and ask him for some knowledge?"

"You want me to ask Mr. Fan about this?"

As soon as Qi Junfeng heard his words, he understood the meaning. He thought for a while and said, "Let's see the opportunity!"

He was also curious about the reason, not because he competed with Mu Chenxi, nor because he lost the bet, he was just purely curious.

Qi Junfeng went back to the school dormitory, picked up his books and articles, and went to Master Fan.

"Master."

When he saw Master Fan, he bowed and saluted.

"Oh, it's Junfeng."

Master Fan put down the scroll in his hand, and said with a smile: "How about this exam? It's no problem to take the joint exam, the key is whether you can get a ranking from it."

"Yes, the student has little talent and learning, and there are still many puzzles in his heart, so he wants to ask the master for advice."

Qi Junfeng had a respectful attitude. Master Fan was an old friend of his grandfather and a well-known Confucianist, "I used to listen to my grandfather say that Master has profound knowledge, but I have always admired him but have never seen it. Now I have this opportunity to ask Master to teach me."

"Hahaha."

Master Fan laughed heartily, "Did your grandfather want to be lazy, and his grandson didn't teach him, but sent you out to hide himself?"

"Grandfather is not in good health, Junfeng dare not trouble him."

Qi Junfeng smiled and said: "Grandfather heard that Master came here to teach and educate people, so he specially asked Junfeng to come here to learn from you."

"Ugh!"

Master Fan's eyes revealed memories, "I'm getting old, it would be great if your grandfather could come too, so we can get together again."

At this time, Mu Chenxi was in the plum grove in the outer courtyard. He looked at the plum blossoms that were full of buds, and his eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile.

The plum blossoms in the half of the courtyard at home were also in bloom, so he came to learn how to prune the branches from the uncle who took care of the plum forest.

"Uncle, your hands are red from the cold, shall I help you?"

He showed his eyes outside the mask, and smiled, "I have gloves, which don't freeze my hands."

He raised his hands to show the uncle, but he was taken aback for a moment, and he didn't realize until he saw the scholar's robe on his body, "Are you a student of the academy?"

"Yes."

Mu Chenxi said happily: "Uncle, can you teach me how to take care of plum trees? My house has half a yard of plum blossoms, which will bloom soon, and I don't know how to prune them yet!"

"Ha ha."

The uncle looked at his innocent eyes, his voice was soft like a coquettish child, and he smiled happily, "Why are you covering it up so tightly? Is it because you are afraid of the cold?"

"Yes."

Mu Chenxi smiled and said: "My wife is afraid that I will be cold, so she dresses me warmly every day, and I have to take care of myself so that he won't worry about it."

"Hey! Are you married to a wife?"

The uncle was very happy to be teased by him, and chatted with him casually, "Okay, uncle will teach you how to prune plum branches."

"Thank you uncle."

Mu Chenxi took the long scissors in his hand, "Uncle, rest for a while, tell me how to cut it, and I'll fix it."

In the distance, Xu Shanzhang and several old masters shook their heads helplessly when they saw this situation, feeling sorry for themselves.

One of the old masters said with a smile: "What a good boy, every time I see his smiling face, my mood gets better for no reason, what a pity!"

"Don't say it's a pity."

Another old master said: "You didn't look at Mr. Fan, but because of a pity, you couldn't say what the servant of Brother Jiang's family said. How refreshing! Hahaha."

"Hahaha."

Master Xu Shan and the other masters also laughed out loud when they heard him say this, "Old Fan has a loud voice, and he quotes scriptures whenever there is an argument.

"Hahaha."

They all laughed heartily and took a sigh of relief. They were usually suppressed by Mr. Fan, but now there is finally someone who can beat him.

"Brother Xu."

One of the masters asked: "What is the identity of that old servant? I see that he keeps calling him Master, but he doesn't show much respect to Brother Jiang, and Jiang Haohai doesn't treat him like a servant."

"I've been by my side for almost a lifetime, so I don't have too many identities."

Xu Shanchang said vaguely: "It's like family members and old brothers. None of us care about the false name of that identity."

He knew Jiang An's identity, and Old Man Fan knew it too.They have been friends with Jiang Haohai for many years, and they know a lot of secrets, but they can't speak freely.

…………

When Mu Chenxi returned to Juyuan, he saw Cheng Jinwen looking at him with disdain from a distance from the door, and he thought inexplicably: What's wrong with this again?

"Humph."

Cheng Jinwen waited for him to approach, and said eccentrically, "I don't even want face because of the money, no wonder Zairong will be injured, and I can't even participate in the test."

"It's really petty. It's really not worth the loss for a little money."

When Xiao Ruxi heard that Qi Junfeng came back and told them the reason, he couldn't help being very angry, "You still bet against us even though you know you won't participate in the ranking, how can you still have face?"

"Is that me?"

Mu Chenxi pointed to herself, "What's wrong with you again? If you're not mentally well, you should go and get treated quickly. You talk nonsense all day long. Don't you bother others?"

"Who do you say is sick?"

Cheng Jinwen took a step forward, pointed at Mu Chenxi and said, "You are the one who is sick, right? You don't have a clear mind, and even the ranking academy won't let you participate. Why are you so arrogant?"

"Yes."

Mu Chenxi nodded, "I'm sick, I'm stupid!"

He spread his hands and said with a smile: "But what does this have to do with you, are you also stupid?"

"you."

Xiao Ruxi wanted to quarrel with Mu Chenxi, but was dragged back by Cheng Jinwen. This time, he couldn't be fooled by Mu Chenxi again, "We don't want the little money you cheated, just to let these students see your virtues. I don't want the face of scholars."

"What virtue?"

Mu Chenxi looked puzzled, with clear and innocent eyes, "Why don't I know that I have virtue, what's the use of that, can it be eaten?"

"Do you still want to be shameless?"

Cheng Jinwen was yelled at by him, "You know you are winning, why are you still betting against us? If you have won us with your real skills and your own talents, you are considered to be aboveboard. What are you doing now?"

"Count me to win!"

Mu Chenxi smiled, and there was a sneer in his eyes, "It's only a fool who knows he's losing, so he still wants to gamble. I know I can win, so why don't I bet against you?"

"If you dislike the fact that you have too much money in your hands and it's hot, you can bet against me again."

The smile on his face became brighter and brighter, "Don't worry, I will take over all of them. I am a poor family, and I don't mind winning and being ashamed."

"However."

"Ha ha."

Mu Chenxi smiled, put her hands behind her back, straightened her body and looked down at Cheng Jinwen and Xiao Ruxi, "The premise is that I can win."

"Okay, I'll bet with you."

Cheng Jinwen was so angry that he lost his mind, and took out a bank note from his pocket, "This is 2000 taels. If you can prove that you are better than us, the money will be yours."

"Oh, what if you can't prove it?"

Mu Chenxi blinked and asked, this fool came to give money again, "I don't have money to give you, even if you lose, you won't get anything."

"Despicable, shameless."

Cheng Jinwen was going to be mad at him, he wanted to expose his true colors in front of the students in Juyuan, but he didn't expect Mu Chenxi to be so shameless.

"The mouth is on your body, I can't help but say what I want to say."

Mu Chenxi wasn't annoyed at all, it's not worth getting angry with this kind of person, so she tried to teach her a lesson, "There is one more question, if you ask me to prove it, will I prove it?"

"What about you?"

Mu Chenxi smiled and said, "Do you want to prove it to all the students, you are so arrogant and domineering, are you convincing because of your outstanding talents?"

"Uh."

Cheng Jinwen was startled, "How to prove it?"

"You figure it out yourself, how can you ask me."

Mu Chenxi smiled and said, "If I can prove it, you will each give me 2000 taels of silver. If you can't prove it, you will also give me 2000 taels of silver."

He patted Cheng Jinwen on the shoulder, "If you don't have the guts, then keep your mouth shut and keep shouting so loudly that these students will look ashamed."

"Okay, let's do that."

Xiao Ruxi curled her lips, he was not short of money, "Tomorrow is the limit."

"you."

Just as Cheng Jinwen was about to stop him, Mu Chenxi clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Okay, it's a deal, and I'd like to ask all the students to prove it."

He looked at the quietly watching students around him, nodded with a smile, turned around and walked into the dormitory, thinking happily: I'm getting rich again!
