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

Chapter 261: The atmosphere is there, the value of the first case in the county

There is another person who can be compared with this handsome guy with a strong sense of aura, and that is the Fourth Prince.

However, the two have different temperaments. The Fourth Prince is elegant and refined, while this man is fragile and broken.

"Senior Brother Wen!" Ke Zhenqiu bowed to Wen Ruyu, then turned his gaze to Jiang Youzhen.

His eyes were as gentle as water, as if without any distracting thoughts, only a hint of appreciation.

"This is Junior Brother Jiang Youzhen, right? I heard Senior Brother Wen mention you in his letter before. As you said, you are handsome and talented. I heard that Junior Brother's talent is unmatched. It is not surprising that you won the first place in the county case this time."

Ke Zhenqiu's voice was a little hoarse, but his tone was calm, plain and simple, yet it had the power to capture people's hearts.

Jiang Youzhen was very surprised. It turned out that these two people knew each other before? They even exchanged letters. They must have a good relationship, right?

But why hadn't I heard Wen Ruyu mention it before? And after coming to the county town for several days, the two of them hadn't even gotten together.

However, did Wen Ruyu praise him so much in the letter? Thinking that he was making money with Wen Ruyu, it was natural for the other party to praise him, and Jiang Youzhen gladly accepted it.

"Brother Ke, you are too kind to me. I don't deserve it. It was just luck!"

"Zhenqiu, have you recovered in recent days? I wanted to find time to talk with you when I came to the county town, but I was worried that you would not be able to see outsiders, so I did not go to disturb you."

"Ahem! Senior brother and I have known each other for a long time, how could he be a stranger? Ahem... I have been in good health recently, so why don't I host you and invite you to have a chat."

"Then I'd better obey your command! My junior brother and I still have to report to the Master, so we can't stay for long. Let's talk later."

The two of them greeted each other politely. Jiang Youzhen felt that their words seemed intimate, but their body language and expressions were very distant. It was a very contradictory existence. In any case, they didn't seem like good friends.

Everyone looked at the top three standing together and greeting each other. It was really pleasing to the eye, especially since each of them had their own style and good looks.

"How come he is so handsome and intelligent? God is so unfair!"

"You! Stop being envious, they are all gifted children."

"Let's go! Junior brother!" Wen Ruyu pulled Jiang Youzhen's sleeve and said.

Jiang Youzhen smiled at Ke Zhenqiu, then made an appointment with Fu Kuan to meet again next time, and then left with Wen Ruyu.

Ke Zhenqiu also smiled back, a smile as clear as the reflection of pear blossoms in spring water.

"Junior brother, don't have frequent contact with this boy. He is not as simple as he seems. He is very scheming and good at calculating people." Wen Ruyu suddenly said as they walked out of the inner field.

Jiang Youzhen was a little confused. It was the first time she heard Wen Ruyu talk about him talking behind his back.

"I think he has a pure face, is gentle and respectful to my senior brother!" Jiang Youzhen pretended to be puzzled.

It really was a thorny little white flower. Her feeling was correct. It must be someone who likes to play the pig and eat the tiger.

Wen Ruyu opened her mouth to speak, but felt that it was not a good idea to talk about others behind their backs, so she just shook her head.

"Just remember what I said."

Jiang Youzhen was still a little curious, "I heard him say that you and his senior brother were exchanging letters, so I thought you had a very good relationship."

However, as soon as Jiang Youzhen finished speaking, Wen Ruyu's face darkened and her tone was a little cold, "No, you're overthinking it. Let's go!"

Although Jiang Youzhen was very curious, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

"How is it?" Mr. Jiang stood up excitedly and asked when he saw Jiang Youzhen and Wen Ruyu coming together.

"I got it!" A smile appeared on Wen Ruyu's face.

Mr. Jiang stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction, "How many?"

"Junior brother lived up to our teacher's expectations and won the first place, becoming the top scorer in this county exam." Wen Ruyu looked at Jiang Youzhen with a smile.

"Oh? Really?" Mr. Jiang's face was full of surprise, and then he was ecstatic.

"Really? Junior sister is truly talented and learned. The teacher was right about her." Wen Ruyu also laughed.

"Good! Good! You really didn't disappoint me. I said you could win. But I didn't expect you to be so competitive and win the first place."

Mr. Jiang was so happy that he was a little incoherent. He was not surprised by Jiang Youzhen's ability. After all, Jiang Youzhen's ability was unquestionable. But sometimes it takes more than just talent to get the first place in a case.

This time his private school will definitely be famous in the town, and he will be proud of it. Spinning around happily, Master Jiang then remembered Wen Ruyu's ranking.

"What about you? How many are you? Why did you only mention your junior brother?"

"I am not as capable as my junior brother. I am only third." Wen Ruyu's smile faded a little. In fact, he was still a little dissatisfied with this ranking.

But now his fighting spirit has been rekindled. Jiang Youzhen does not need to take the remaining four exams, and he will compete with Ke Zhenqiu.

"Third place is also amazing. There are so many talented people in this county exam, so you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself. As long as you can pass, you are definitely not an ordinary person. There are hundreds of candidates, and only fifty of them are selected. You can imagine the result."

Master Jiang turned to look at Jiang Youzhen and said, "Since you are the top scorer in the county, you don't need to take the next four exams. You don't even need to take the prefectural and imperial examinations. Once the court issues you the document, you will be a scholar in the future."

Jiang Youzhen was also delighted when he heard this. He hadn't thought so much about it just now. Now that he thought about it, the gold content of the county's first case was not bad? How many exams would be saved? This was a one-step solution, a special recruitment of talents!

"How is it? You were unwilling to give up at the beginning. Passing the imperial examination may be difficult for others, but it is easy for you. But you should not be proud of yourself because there are always people better than you."

Mr. Jiang was afraid that Jiang Youzhen's character was still immature and that it was inevitable that he would be a little arrogant as a young talent, so he wanted to give him a warning.

"Yes! I will follow the Master's teachings!" Jiang Youzhen bowed in response.

"When the imperial court documents come down, you will be admitted. You will definitely go to the provincial academy to study. And Ruyu, as long as she ranks in the top ten, the government will definitely recommend her to the provincial academy."

Master Jiang looked at the two people in front of him, and his heart was filled with emotion. As a teacher, he was happy that his students were successful. But he could not participate in their examinations in the future, which was a pity.

"You are brothers, and your relationship is different from that of others. The most important thing for entering the officialdom is connections. In the future, brothers will help each other and have someone to rely on in the court."

Mr. Jiang suddenly had tears in his eyes. These two were both from ordinary people's backgrounds and could not compete with those aristocratic families. They could only help each other.

"Master, don't worry. You and Brother have taken good care of me, and I will always remember that."
