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

Chapter 260: First Place, Second Place in Fragile Case

Since you want to enter the official career, you have to quickly get the attention of those in power. That kind of waiting to gain experience is not suitable for Jiang Youzhen.

You can call her ambitious or opportunistic! Anyway, as long as the final result is good and it does not affect others, why not?

The case was reported in a circle. Wen Ruyu finally squeezed to the front and saw seat number 6 in the middle of the first inner circle.

He stared at the number for a long time, then gave a wry smile.

This result seemed unexpected, but it was also reasonable. Even the teacher praised Jiang's articles and often lamented that Jiang Youzhen did not have a famous teacher, and it was he who delayed Jiang Youzhen's development.

He cheered himself up and followed the counterclockwise ranking circle and saw his seat number in the third position.

It was pretty much what he had imagined. He had originally thought he would be in the top three, but now he was in third place. He didn't know who was in the second seat, but he guessed it was Ke Zhenqiu.

Ke Zhenqiu was only two years older than Jiang Youzhen. Unlike Jiang Youzhen, who was known as a child prodigy since childhood, this boy lived a secluded life and rarely appeared in public. But whenever he appeared, he was stunning.

However, Ke Zhenqiu was in poor health and spent most of the year on sickbed. But even so, his talent could not be ignored.

"I won! I won! I was ranked 50th, and I actually won." Someone cried with joy.

"Congratulations! Congratulations! But I also won, ahead of you, in 38th place."

"Alas! Even though you didn't rank high, it's still great that you made it! What a pity! I've taken the exam twice, and I still failed this time. I'm ashamed to face my fellow countrymen!"

"I failed the exam! I failed the exam!" Some people were distraught and stumbled out.

Some people couldn't believe that they had failed the exam and kept lingering in front of the list, looking for their seat numbers over and over again.

"Senior Brother Wen, which ranking are you in?" Someone looked at Wen Ruyu and asked.

"Junior brother doesn't seem worried? Could it be that the top candidate in the case is me?" Fu Kuan carefully observed Jiang Youzhen's expression. He did not miss the joy that flashed across her eyes just now. Could it be that Jiang Youzhen is really the top candidate in the case?

"I haven't seen the list yet, so I don't know clearly. There are fewer people here now, so why don't we go over there and take a look together?" Jiang Youzhen made a gesture of invitation, and Fu Kuan happily went with him.

"Senior Brother, how is it?" Jiang Youzhen squeezed to the front and tugged at Wen Ruyu's sleeve.

When Wen Ruyu saw Jiang Youzhen, his eyes were a little complicated. He now really believed in the saying that there are always people better than you.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Jiang, for becoming the top case in the county."

Jiang Youzhen quickly looked at the list and saw his seat number in the middle of the inner circle. He checked again and it was not wrong. Then he saw Wen Ruyu in the third place counterclockwise and turned around to congratulate her.

"Join us! Rejoice together!"

"Junior brother, you have won the first place in the county case, so you don't have to take the next exam. Let's go report to the teacher first. He is still waiting for our news."

Wen Ruyu thought of Master Jiang who was waiting outside the examination room. With such a ranking, they should have lived up to the master's expectations, right?

Unfortunately, he originally thought he would be the second. It seems that in the next exam, Ke Zhenqiu will be his opponent.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Jiang, for becoming the top scorer in the county." Fu Kuan congratulated him hurriedly.

"What? The first person in the county case is actually Jiang Youzhen? This is a dark horse! Before, we all guessed it was Wen Ruyu or Ke Zhenqiu, but we didn't expect that we were all wrong."

The person who broke the news earlier immediately raised his head high and said, "I have already told you that there are variables in this exam. Jiang Youzhen is Wen Ruyu's junior brother. He can stand out in the major literary competitions in Yang'an Town with his own abilities. Could he be just an ordinary person?"

Jiang Youzhen rubbed her forehead. It was really embarrassing that he was blowing the flute in front of her.

But this brother has a good vision and what he said is right!

"Who is Jiang Youzhen? Is he the one who was talking to Wen Ruyu? He is indeed a handsome man!"

"Ah! I can tell at a glance that she has a good family background. She is simply a winner in life! She has a wealthy family, outstanding looks, and even her talent is first-rate. I just wonder what kind of background does she have?"

"He must be from some aristocratic family, right? Didn't they say that many children from aristocratic families returned to their ancestral home to take the exam for this time?

We have quite a few in Wen County. Even if they are not from the direct lineage, they are from the side branches. Anyway, they are not comparable to our poor families. Just this outfit, you can't get it without fifty or sixty taels of silver."

"Finally I saw the legendary Jiang Youzhen, and he really stands out from the crowd. I was wondering why all these talented people are so handsome? Jiang Youzhen is like this, and so are Wen Ruyu and Ke Zhenqiu. Oh! Comparing yourself to others is really frustrating!"

"It's our fault that we can't reincarnate!"

"Huh? Why don't I see Ke Zhenqiu? He's the second place, right? Someone saw his seat number during the exam, so he was the second place."

"Hasn't he always been so low-key? He's not in good health, so I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to come here when there's so much people around?"

"Here it comes! Here it comes! As expected, you still care about your ranking."

Hearing everyone talking about Ke Zhenqiu, Jiang Youzhen couldn't help but become interested in him. Wen Ruyu had mentioned him to her before, saying that he was a real rival.

The crowd quickly made way for a young man in an indigo robe and a cloak trimmed with gray squirrel fur, who walked over slowly.

The crowd fell silent, and everyone turned their eyes to this person.

The man covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed lightly a few times, which reminded Jiang Youzhen of those short-lived rich young masters in the movies and TV dramas of his previous life.

He gasps for every three steps and coughs every three sentences, as if he will die in the next second, but the male protagonist who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger usually lives to the last episode.

"System, although I am a female supporting character in a book, I usually think of myself as the heroine. After all, you, the system, chose me, right?"

[Host, you may as well be more confident, the whole world is yours]

Very good! I am comforted. This sick guy can never be the hero of a happy novel.

Only after the other party put down the handkerchief covering his mouth did Jiang Youzhen see the other person's face clearly.

What a pure and innocent face! Especially her pale face, but with a pair of moist and innocent eyes.

Seeing him coming, everyone fell silent, fearing that the tone of their voice would drive him away.

Jiang Youzhen took a look at the other person's figure. He was very thin, but tall and broad-shouldered. He didn't look like a weakling, but his temperament made him look pitiful.

Was this a mistake? Why did she feel that the system had given this person the second and third levels of initial impression?

After all, even she herself felt that speaking loudly to the other party was like committing an unforgivable crime. Does this girl really not have the aura of a protagonist?

It seemed like a long time after recalling it, but it was only a moment. Jiang Youzhen was certain and certain that this person did not exist in the original book.

Well! It must be just a passerby, no need to worry about it.
