Chapter 297 Jiang Youzhen Loves to Look at Faces
This? Jiang Youzhen never expected that she would get such a reward from just setting up a competition today.
But if all three of them wanted to accept me as their disciple, that wouldn’t be a good idea.
Whoever I choose will offend the other two. What should I do?
Wen Ruyu frowned. Junior Brother was being framed. Choosing anyone would offend the other two. How could she choose? But if she didn't choose any of them, not only would she lose a good opportunity, but people would also talk about her behind her back, saying that she was too picky and looked down on the three respected scholars. This was a dilemma!
Master Jiang sighed. Originally, being favored by these great scholars was a good thing. But now being favored by three great scholars at the same time, isn't this embarrassing for Jiang Youzhen?
He glanced at the three of them. In fact, according to his idea, it was natural that Mr. Luye had a strong background.
But he was unhappy with what Luye Jushi had just done. He always felt that this person was calculating and had impure motives.
As for Su Wang and Zhao Zan, Su Wang has more prestige in the county, so in comparison, Zhao Zan seems more suitable.
Although Zhao Zan is no longer teaching in the provincial capital, he still has some connections. Jiang Youzhen is about to go to the provincial school to study, and these connections can come in handy.
He coughed lightly and looked at Jiang Youzhen, wanting to tell him his thoughts. However, there were three pairs of eyes staring at him eagerly, and he was helpless for a moment.
"Jiang Youzhen, this is really a coincidence. But it is also because of your extraordinary knowledge that you caught the attention of the three of us." Mr. Luye smiled and touched his gray beard.
"In that case, you can choose any one of us three."
Everyone in the hall was stunned. These were three great scholars! They actually let Jiang Youzhen choose at will? When had they ever seen such a grand occasion?
"This? Can't you just look at me? I can do it too! Why should I hang myself on Jiang Youzhen's tree?" Some people were filled with righteous indignation and wished they could take his place.
"Haha! Can your talent compare to Jiang Youzhen? He doesn't think highly of you." The student at the side laughed at him mercilessly.
Jiang Youzhen sighed secretly. After a moment's thought, she said, "I'm sorry! I already have a favorite teacher in mind."
"Oh? Who is it?" Zhao Zan was surprised and a little regretful at the same time. He was afraid that Jiang Youzhen would not choose him.
Jiang Youzhen glanced at Master Jiang. If she didn't make a decision today, she might not be able to get away with it. Whatever! Master Jiang treated her well anyway.
When Mr. Jiang saw Jiang Youzhen looking at him, he couldn't help but feel moved, and suddenly felt a little expectant and regretful.
"In fact, Master Jiang is the student's enlightenment mentor, the student..."
"Ahem!" The magistrate suddenly coughed a few times, interrupting Jiang Youzhen's words.
"I know a thing or two about this matter. Jiang Youzhen does have a favorite candidate for his mentor, but it is not convenient to disclose it here."
Everyone was surprised. How come Jiang Youzhen was so familiar with the county magistrate? He even knew who he had a favorite mentor.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back and rest!" Lin Jiuan said as he stood up and winked at Jiang Youzhen. This was considered as a cover for Jiang Youzhen.
Jiang Youzhen immediately understood and smiled at him gratefully. The choice just now was indeed quite difficult. If the county magistrate had not come out to interrupt her, she might have already worshipped Master Jiang as her teacher.
Of course, it doesn't mean that Master Jiang is bad. It's just that people tend to move to higher places, and Master Jiang has nothing to teach her now.
Being his teacher is just a title, don't say she is realistic, it is the fact. A teacher is like a parent, so one must be extremely careful when becoming his teacher.
Pan Changye looked at Jiang Youzhen meaningfully, with a half-smile on his face.
What's wrong? Jiang Youzhen always felt that this person was weird and didn't seem to really want to take him as his apprentice.
If he is not sincere, then why did he accept me as his disciple? Is there any other explanation behind this?
Tong Huaian hurried to the Fourth Master's villa.
"Yuan Shang, is your master here?"
"The Fourth Master has already gone to bed. Sir, why are you here so late? Is there something wrong?" Yuan Shang was very surprised. It was already curfew, so what important matter had he to come here?
"But Huai'an? Come in!" A gentle voice suddenly came from inside.
"Your Highness!" Tong Huaian bowed deeply.
"It's curfew now. Are you here to see me for something important?" The Fourth Prince was very puzzled because Tong Huaian seldom came over at night.
"This is Jiang Youzhen's article for today's competition. Please take a look."
"Oh? The article is out?" The Fourth Prince was very excited and took it quickly.
The candlelight flickered, the silhouettes of the two were reflected on the paper window, and the room was silent.
"Okay!" A sudden "Okay" brought Tong Huaian back to his senses.
"These two articles are truly excellent works. I particularly like the one by Qihu." As he spoke, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Isn't this a policy question? Jiang Youzhen can actually answer it."
"That's right! Jiang Youzhen said she only learned the basics."
"Impossible! How could he write such an exquisite article if he only learned the basics? His writing is very mature, and he doesn't look like a beginner."
The fourth prince smiled, walked to the desk, and carefully read the two articles again.
"I didn't expect Jiang Youzhen to be so talented." The Fourth Prince sighed. It would be a pity if he could not use such a talented person.
"Your Highness! If Jiang Youzhen can join your army, you will definitely be even more powerful in the future. But recently, the Second Prince seems to have taken a fancy to Jiang Youzhen's talents and often hangs around her. I am also afraid that Jiang Youzhen will really be kidnapped by him."
Tong Huaian was a little worried. He suddenly thought that the second prince seemed to have an extraordinary appearance. And Jiang Youzhen seemed to like looking at faces?
Don't think he doesn't know. When he first saw the Fourth Prince, he was amazed and admired. This boy seemed to like beautiful women, regardless of gender. When he saw Huamei before, his eyes sparkled.
The second prince's appearance is very striking. If Jiang Youzhen is mesmerized by his beauty, then?
He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the Fourth Prince, who might have just lain down and hurriedly got up to dress. The Fourth Prince's hair was a little messy, and he looked a little more lazy than usual.
"This cannot be underestimated." The fourth prince frowned. The second prince was really lingering around.
"I think Jiang Youzhen will be very successful in the future, so why don't we sell her to a better person?"
"How to say?"
"Have you forgotten that the court sent someone to the yamen to get the test papers? Jiang Youzhen is now famous, but he has no family background, so it is easy for him to be selected." Tong Huaian pointed to the north and said.
The Fourth Prince suddenly realized something. He pondered for a long time, and then a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"But the emperor may not choose him!"
"Then we need to give it a push, right? I have a good idea." Tong Huaian said, pointing to the articles on the table.
"Let's add fuel to the fire and make Jiang Youzhen famous. The subsequent palace examinations will depend on how the emperor chooses."
