Jiang Li took the piece of broken date flower cake and smiled while rubbing Tongâerâs head. Tongâer was still too naive. Leaving aside whether this matter would be able to be talked through, that Chengxuan official, Meng Hong Jinâs father, Master Mengâs relationship with the Right Prime Minister Li family didnât seem to be shallow. The implication of having a relationship with the Right Prime Minister meant that he was the Jiang familyâs enemy. How could the Meng family let go of such an opportunity? If Jiang Li lost, naturally Jiang Yuan Bai could use his power to press everything down. However, the Meng family would certainly use this later, placing Jiang Yuan Bai in a difficult position in the court.
For either the Meng family or the Jiang family, this wasnât merely two misses playing a fierce war in a bet. The deep meaning and reputation behind this was more serious than the wager itself.
âI know.â Jiang Li bit the piece of broken date flower date. The sweet taste made her smile turn a little bit sweeter, âIâll try my best.â
By the time they reached the gate of Ming Yi Hall, many people had arrived outside the examination room. Seeing Jiang Li come, they all seized her up and down and broke out in bursts of laughter from time to time. Without thinking itâs obvious that they were mocking her.
Of the six arts that the school would test on, calligraphy, mathematics and etiquette were done through test papers in the examination room and the results would be published five days later. Following that was archery, riding as well as music. They would all be carried out in the public examination place at Ming Yi Hall. The results would be known on the spot.
Therefore, the examinations held by Ming Yi Hall were considered to be totally fair and just, without the least bit of private concealment.
Meng Hong Jin saw Jiang Li, smiled and stepped forward, then pretended to let out a relieved breath: âJiang second miss came so late, I still thought you didnât dare to come.â
âHow is that possible?â Jiang Li chuckled, âI didnât take the bet with Miss Meng to heart.â
âThatâs good.â Meng Hong Jin smiled ferociously, âI wish Jiang second miss would have good results and live up to expectation.â
âLive up to expectationâ Meng Hong Jin emphasized these four words heavily. Everyone knew Jiang Li certainly did not âenjoy the general supportâ.
Jiang Li nodded her head with a smile, as if not taking Meng Hong Jinâs words seriously. Together with Jiang Yuâe, Jiang You Yao stepped forward and anxiously looked at Jiang Li and said: âSecond sister, these few days, you didnât practice at home. TodayâŚâŚ. Donât bring difficulty to yourself.â
Didnât even practice at home, the surrounding people sneered. Then Jiang Li even had no good face. So much so that someone impatiently wanted to see how miserable Jiang Liâs condition would be when she lost.
Jiang Li smiled: âThird sister actually practiced everyday. I wish todayâs examination could live up to third sisterâs painstaking efforts these few days and could gain something back to some extent.â
âThanks to second sisterâs beautiful words.â Jiang You Yao couldnât help producing a sweet smile. She was proud of herself, in the examination this time, Ji Shuran had spent a lot of energy and mind to nurture her.
Precisely to be under a thousand eyes, using Jiang Liâs vulgarity to set off her own talent. As far as she was concerned, she just needed to step on Jiang Li to pave a way for herself. Jiang You Yao felt that this was something to look forward to.
Everyone exchanged a few sentences and soon the time arrived. Everyone entered the examination room and sat upright in their respective chairs, waiting for the supervisor to come in.
It was like a war where they would be called kings if they won and bandits if they lost.
