Sign in: The female supporting character in the book disrupted the heroine's glory

Chapter 263: Recommended to the Provincial Academy, Bastards in the Melon Field

"Yes! The Fourth Master has a kind and steady personality, and he is very cautious in his work..."

When Lin Jiuan saw Jiang Youzhen looking at him with curious eyes, he stopped talking.

Whatever! Let Tong Huaian be the lobbyist. The two have a good relationship anyway.

"The documents for the scholars and students will not be issued until the college entrance examination is over. I have recommended you to study at the provincial school. Professor Wang Changen there is my classmate. You can go to visit him with my invitation and he will definitely arrange something for you."

Does this mean that she will be given special treatment and asked someone to take care of her? Jiang Youzhen quickly bowed and thanked her, "Thank you for your support, I will never forget it."

"Hey~ I also value talent. Besides, you are a student and the top scorer in the county exam. You should be admitted to the prefectural school. I am just doing you a favor."

Lin Jiuan was very pleased with Jiang Youzhen's knowledge and interests, but a straightforward person would not get him far in official circles.

"However, Professor Wang Chang'en is a man of integrity. Don't think that I am not attentive just because I recommended him to you. He has always been fair in his dealings."

Is this what it means to be pedantic? It seems that we need to understand this Wang Changen. The professor is the highest official in the prefectural school, a ninth-rank official, which can be regarded as a court establishment.

"The younger generation will keep this in mind!"

"Well! Go ahead! Wait until March to enter the prefectural school, and then go back and wait for the documents."

"Then I will take my leave first!"

Looking at Jiang Youzhen leaving the study, Lin Jiuan felt a little strange, but soon he smiled and shook his head.

I don't know how a farmer's son knew these rules. As far as he knew, Jiang Youzhen was just studying in a private school and the teacher was just a scholar.

It's really a golden phoenix flying out of a mountain nest. It's also the Jiang family's good fortune, right?

When he went out to the backyard, Jiang Youzhen saw Mr. Jiang and Wen Ruyu waiting there again.

"Junior brother!" Wen Ruyu came forward.

"Why does the magistrate want to see you? Is it to test your knowledge?"

"Yes! He asked about current affairs and my experience, and finally asked me to go back and wait for the paperwork." Jiang Youzhen certainly couldn't tell the truth. The two of them had been in contact before, and if someone used this to make a big fuss, it would be suspected of fraud. It was better not to make things more complicated.

"It seems that Lord Lin appreciates you very much. He has always acted according to the rules for previous students, but this time he kept you for such a long time." Master Jiang stroked his beard and said affirmatively.

The three of them returned to the inn. After a while, Wen Ruyu came knocking on the door and said that someone from Ke Zhenqiu had come to invite them to come in for a chat.

Jiang Youzhen was really curious. Looking at Wen Ruyu's expression, he seemed reluctant. But since he was invited, he didn't refuse. It seemed like he had to go.

"Let's have the banquet at Fuyun Pavilion and go together." Wen Ruyu said.

Jiang Youzhen saw Master Jiang outside the door and knew that he wanted to go with him. Fuyun Pavilion was his own business, so Jiang Youzhen planned to go and see what this man was up to.

The most important thing is that she was really curious about the relationship between Wen Ruyu and Ke Zhenqiu. These two people seemed a little awkward, could they have some unspeakable relationship?

The three of them took a carriage to Fuyun Pavilion. The manager of Fuyun Pavilion was newly transferred. The original manager Liu had already gone to supervise other restaurants.

As soon as he saw Jiang Youzhen, he immediately came forward. Jiang Youzhen immediately signaled with her eyes that she was here as a guest today, so she should not reveal her identity.

"Three gentlemen, have you booked a private room?" The shopkeeper glanced secretly at his boss, then turned to look at the oldest master, Mr. Jiang.

"A guest has arrived, Mr. Ke Zhenqiu."

"So you are Mr. Ke's distinguished guests. Please come in and I will lead the way for you." The shopkeeper walked in front. Now that the boss has arrived, of course he has to lead the way himself.

"Master! You'd better not stand by the window. Although it is spring now, it is still cold. The cold wind penetrates into your bones and it is easy to catch a cold." The servant Donggua stepped forward to dissuade him. In the private room which was warm as spring with a lit charcoal basin, his master was still wearing a heavy cloak.

Ke Zhenqiu withdrew his gaze and sat down at the table.

"Brother!" Seeing Wen Ruyu coming in, Ke Zhenqiu stood up quickly.

Brother? Is there something wrong with these two? I called them. Jiang Youzhen's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them.

Wen Ruyu looked surprised, and Ke Zhenqiu quickly changed his tone and said, "Senior Brother!"

Ouch! Jiang Youzhen's gossipy spirit was burning. What was going on? She was like a civet in a melon field who couldn't eat any melons. She was so anxious that she was scratching her head.

"Master Jiang! Junior Brother Jiang!" Ke Zhenqiu turned his gaze to Master Jiang and Jiang Youzhen again. When he met Jiang Youzhen's sparkling eyes, he smiled slightly.

This? They don't look alike! Jiang Youzhen looked at the two people's appearances and it seemed that there was no similarity at all.

"I would also like to thank Mr. Ke for his hospitality. It has been many years since I last saw your mentor. I wonder how he is doing recently?" Master Jiang glanced at Ke Zhenqiu and then nodded.

These three young men are all outstanding people. It seems that birds of a feather flock together, and only people of equal status can get along with each other.

"Master, you are in good health. You have mentioned to me before that you have not seen me for a long time and you missed me very much. But Master Jiang looks rosy-cheeked and energetic. Ahem... Is it because Senior Brother Wen and Junior Brother Jiang have achieved outstanding results, so you are in a good mood because of the good news?"

"Hahaha! That's true!" Mr. Jiang looked at Ke Zhenqiu who was covering his mouth and coughing, then he restrained his smile and sighed.

"Why haven't you recovered yet? Didn't your mentor say he would find a famous doctor to treat you?"

"It's just an old illness. Even a famous doctor can't cure it overnight. I'm currently taking treatment and I'm much better now."

Several people sat down while talking. Wen Ruyu remained silent and seldom spoke. However, this sickly man kept talking, coughing three times, as if he wanted to ease the atmosphere.

"Junior brother, you will go to the prefectural school to study next, right? The instructor there, Li Shoudao, is familiar with my father. Junior brother has just arrived in the prefectural city and is unfamiliar with the people and the place. If you have any questions, you can go find Instructor Li. He is a warm-hearted person and will surely give you good advice."

Ke Zhenqiu was originally chatting with Mr. Jiang about all sorts of things, but suddenly he turned the topic to Jiang Youzhen.

Huh? Jiang Youzhen was a little speechless. Why did one or two of them want to open a backdoor for him? According to what they said, he already had two backers. Wouldn't he be able to walk around freely when he went to the government school?

"You don't have to bother Instructor Li. If I am lucky enough to pass the exam, I will definitely go with my junior brother. We two brothers will help each other and don't want your father to owe us a favor, otherwise we will feel really bad."

Wen Ruyu smiled slightly, then picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

Wow! Is this a clear rejection? Jiang Youzhen is even more curious about the relationship between the two. Please! Someone please explain it to me!
