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

Chapter 203 Why can’t he be given a smart brain?

Jiang Youzhen came to the library and thought about the white jade chess set that was given as a reward. She just wondered if there were any introductory books, as she had never learned this in her previous life.

Shen was still the one who delivered lunch at noon. Today it was pork ribs stewed with radish, minced meat, cabbage and cold-mixed shepherd's purse.

"Uncle Sixteen, the chive dumplings made by Grandma Ten are so delicious." Jiang Jiawang took a big bite of the chive dumplings and hummed with satisfaction.

"What doesn't taste good to you? If it tastes good, eat more."

Jiang Youzhen laughed. This kid's face has become rounder these days. He can eat three big white steamed buns in one meal, and two bowls of rice. He is really a little brat. He is eating me out of money.

Huang Xue Ning and Wen Ruyu were watching what was happening here, eating and laughing.

"That Jiang Jiawang is like a mouse in a rice jar, eating and drinking for free all day long. But the food at Junior Brother Jiang's house is really delicious. Even the simple food looks delicious."

Wen Ruyu smiled when she heard this. Jiang Youzhen's food was just plain food for Huang Xue Ning, but it was already very rich for him.

"Brother Wen, you won't believe it even if I tell you this, but Jiang Youzhen's family used to be very poor, but now they are considered wealthy."

Huang Xue Ning took two bites of the pig's trotter and put it down. It didn't taste good.

Wen Ruyu looked up at him and frowned slightly, "You know everything about her? Are you investigating her? That's unnecessary!"

"Why do we need to investigate? I don't know her, but I know her uncle! Her uncle is Jiang Haiqing." Huang Xue Ning said with two sneers.

"This man is somewhat famous in the town, but not a good one. Among the scholars, he is not well-known, and not many people look up to him. He loves money but does not strive for progress. He also said outside that he has a nephew who can make money. I think he is referring to Jiang Youzhen."

"Oh? So Junior Brother Jiang has a good relationship with his uncle?" Wen Ruyu was a little surprised. Did Jiang Youzhen earn the money herself? He couldn't help but feel curious.

"It should be bad. You don't know that Jiang Haiqing borrowed money from Renhu. How can he pay it back? I heard that Qin Er went to his house to collect the debt yesterday, and it was Jiang Youzhen who settled it. But it seems that he used adoption as an exchange. Anyway, there are so many things going on in his family, just like a big show."

Wen Ruyu was somewhat interested. In fact, he didn't really want to know about Jiang Youzhen's family background, but he was more interested in how Jiang Youzhen made money.

A scholar is good for nothing! Although it is a bit exaggerated, before passing the imperial examination and becoming an official, it is true that a penny can make a hero fall.

Relying solely on copying books to make money was barely enough to support himself, not to mention that he had parents in poor health and younger siblings at home who needed to feed themselves.

"Ahem! This is the cafeteria, don't talk too much." Wen Ruyu noticed that Jiang Youzhen had glanced at her just now, and maybe he had heard their whisper.

It is indeed not gentlemanly to talk about others behind their backs! He lowered his head a little embarrassedly and took a bite of the mixed flour bun.

"Your steamed bun is hard. Why don't you ask Granny Li to heat it up? Eat mine. I can't finish it anyway." Huang Xue Ning pushed his white flour bun forward, but Wen Ruyu just smiled and continued to chew on the mixed flour bun.

Jiang Youzhen spent the whole day copying the annotations of "Mencius", but at the end of the school day, she realized that she had only copied most of it.

Wen Ruyu's annotations are very detailed, but the characters are a bit small. Jiang Youzhen suddenly became curious. Did ancient people have myopia? Although there were no electronic products, there were no electric lights! Wouldn't reading at night affect eyesight?

After packing up everything, I drew a layout of the shop overnight and made a list for Shen to buy things. Except for the shelves and goods, everything else should be almost ready.

"Junior Brother Jiang, tomorrow is a day off. We have arranged to go hiking with a few friends. I wonder if Junior Brother Jiang is free. Why don't we join us?"

Jiang Youzhen and Jiang Jiawang were about to leave when Wen Ruyu suddenly came over.

"Sorry! I have to go to the provincial capital with my family tomorrow. I'll get together with my fellow brothers when I'm free another day." Jiang Youzhen refused without thinking. He had to go to the provincial capital to purchase goods tomorrow and check the progress of the jewelry.

"That's such a coincidence. Let's get together again next time!" Wen Ruyu felt a little regretful. In fact, he had another purpose in inviting Jiang Youzhen.

"I told you not to invite her, she won't go. You see, isn't this just asking for trouble?" Huang Xue Ning was a little unhappy. This Jiang Youzhen was really unsociable.

"Junior Sister Jiang must have something to do. She said she wanted to go to the provincial capital. It's unlikely that she did it on purpose. Let's go!" Wen Ruyu didn't care too much. He just happened to not know how to start the conversation.

After leaving the private school, Jiang Youzhen was about to climb into his own carriage when he saw someone getting off the carriage on the other side.

"Erlang!"

Jiang Youzhen was stunned, "Brother Huai'an? You're back from the county? Didn't I hear that the results will be announced very late today?"

She heard from her classmates that today was the day the results were announced, so she thought Tong Huaian would not be back until tomorrow.

"I came back after seeing the list. My grandfather told me that you came to study at the private school in town. I happened to be passing by, so I came to see you!"

Did you hear from your grandfather before you came back? My friend, your excuse is lame. I suggest you just say that you investigated me next time.

"I haven't congratulated you yet for passing the county exam. The prefectural exam is in April, right?" Jiang Youzhen didn't even have to guess, how could Tong Huaian not even pass the county exam?

"You're really good at guessing! The provincial exam is on April 12th."

"Huh? Master Tong is back?" Shen heard Jiang Youzhen talking to someone, lifted the car curtain, and found that it was Tong Huaian.

"Aunt, I just came back and passed by here, and I happened to run into Erlang!"

"Let's go back first!" Jiang Youzhen said as he looked at the people coming and going here.

"Mom! You and Jiawang take the carriage back first. Brother Huai'an and I have something to discuss."

Shen was a little unhappy about a man and a woman sitting in the same carriage. Although Jiang Youzhen is a boy now, he still needs to be careful, right?

Jiang Youzhen didn't care what Shen thought and climbed directly into Tong Huaian's carriage.

Huang Xue Ning and Wen Ruyu had just come out of the private school when they saw Jiang Youzhen and Tong Huaian, who were talking, getting on a carriage.

"Junior Brother Jiang also knows Senior Brother Tong?" Wen Ruyu was a little puzzled. Tong Huaian was very famous among the students.

"It's not surprising! Senior Brother Tong lives in Qinghe Village. They are from the same village, right?" Huang Xue Ning knew the reason.

"So we are from the same village, and it seems like we have a good relationship!" Wen Ruyu has been a child prodigy since childhood, but Tong Huaian is only seventeen years old and has already become a learned man.

"I think he has passed the county exam. With his intelligence, shouldn't he be able to pass it easily?"

Huang Xue Ning was a little envious as he spoke. How could they be so smart? What was their brain like? Why couldn't he also have a smart head?

Especially since she is smart and good-looking, her figure and appearance are really impeccable!

Tong Huaian, Jiang Youzhen, and Senior Brother Wen in front of him are all handsome men.

Except for him... Hmm! Thinking of this, he was not very happy today.
