Zhou Jiaqing took a serious look at Ji Chengxi. This eldest lady was not very smart. What happened to Ji Chengfeng last time could be said to be a coincidence. It was really not easy to see this level again this time.

She spoke slowly: "The poor man must be hateful. He does not deserve any sympathy."

After finishing speaking, both of them fell silent.

At this time, the sound of the muduo in the academy rang, and it was time to prepare for the exam.

This year's exam is the same as in previous years, divided into two categories: "test" and "talent".

The test is to do the exam paper, which everyone must do. However, the difference this time is that the three subjects of classics and history, poetry and arithmetic are put on one test paper to facilitate subsequent scoring.

And talent is to display the talents learned in the academy. Pinghu Academy offers four categories: piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Because it was an academy that focused on literature, and there were some children of nobles, there were naturally no classes on martial arts such as piercing, riding and archery, boxing, swords, guns, swords, and sticks.

If you accidentally hurt someone, you can't afford it.

Students are free to choose what they are good at to show on stage. It is not necessary for everyone to choose, but each person can only choose one talent to show.

Of course, those who demonstrate their talents better will have their examination results included in the examination paper, so that their ranking will naturally be higher, so few people will choose to give up on their talents.

Zhou Jiaqing is the one who gives up every year!

She really has no talent.

The top three in this exam can enter the palace and receive awards from the emperor. Therefore, the scoring and invigilation are all supervised by people under the imperial censor in the palace, together with the respected gentlemen of the academy.

There were people from the academy and the palace watching on the stage, and the big families watching from the audience, and there were also Prince Qi and the Fourth Prince, so it was almost impossible to cheat in this exam.

Looking at the battle, the atmosphere was quite tense, and the students were immediately panicked. "You look very calm, not nervous at all." Before taking the stage, Ji Chengxi blinked and comforted and said, "No matter what the outcome is, even though Just work hard.”

Zhou Jiaqing nodded: "Thank you, you too."

The two were about to go on stage when they saw Zhou Jiayun and Zhou Jiahua Shi Shiran walking over. Zhou Jiayun seemed worried: "Second sister, don't worry. How about I say something for you? Go and apologize to Chu Chu." of."

Zhou Jiahua said proudly: "Sister Chu Chu has always been generous and will not argue with you."

Zhou Jiaqing didn't say anything. Zhou Jiayun stepped forward and took Zhou Jiaqing's hand with a smile: "Second sister, if you don't want to, don't be afraid. Anyway, my sister is here and I can always take care of you."

Ji Chengxi snorted from his nose and looked down on Zhou Jiayun's attitude. He really wanted to worry about his sister. He had already been the peacemaker between Wang Chuchu and his sister, so why wait until he went on stage to act pretentious.

Apologize? Zhou Jiaqing had done something wrong and needed to apologize. It was clearly Wang Chuchu who slandered and spread rumors and Zhou Jiaqing wanted to commit himself to him.

Feng Mengyu, who was nearby, heard these words and sneered: "Yun'er, why are you wasting your time with her? I have been preparing for more than half a month, and I want to be a blockbuster."

"That's right, she wants to perform well in front of some people." Wang Chuyuan also mocked.

"Don't talk about second sister like that." Zhou Jiayun disagreed: "Second sister has been staying in her Tao Ranyuan in recent days and has not come out. She has worked very hard. Maybe she can surpass Chu Chu."

These words prove that Zhou Jiaqing has been studying hard recently. If he does poorly in the exam, he is really stupid.

"I can't talk about hard work, but Fourth Sister, are you sure you want to help me?" Zhou Jiaqing stared at Zhou Jiayun coldly and said: "How do you want to help, cheating? The emperor attaches great importance to this exam, and the two cheating people are not just the two. It's so simple to be kicked out of the academy, but the fourth sister really loves me, my sister, and would not hesitate to go to such an extent for me."

Zhou Jiayun's face changed again and again. She was dissatisfied that everyone's eyes were on Zhou Jiaqing today, and wanted to take the opportunity to embarrass and humiliate Zhou Jiaqing. She didn't think much about it, and she never wanted to help her. When Zhou Jiaqing said it so bluntly, Only then did she understand the stakes and shuddered.

I stood there for a moment and didn't know how to get out. Helping was cheating, not helping was false, it was wrong anyway!

"I thought she was a good sister who loved her sister, but she was just showing off." Ji Chengxi hugged Zhou Jiaqing and said disdainfully.

"So, fourth sister, can you help me?" Zhou Jiaqing's mouth turned up, his eyes full of teasing.

For a moment, the women and students around looked at Zhou Jiayun with a meaningful look. It turned out to be nothing more than that. The relationship between the first room and the second room in the Hou Mansion was not as harmonious as it appeared.

"Second sister, no, I..." Zhou Jiayun glanced at Zhou Jiaqing and reluctantly smiled.

Having lost face in front of everyone, she could hardly control the resentment in her heart and wanted to step forward and slap Zhou Jiaqing hard several times to vent her anger.

Zhou Jiaqing, however, remained silent and did not answer. Zhou Jiayun stood there awkwardly, neither leaving nor staying.

Li Yaxuan also heard the commotion here, and felt a little distressed when she saw her daughter standing there at a loss. She quickly went to the rescue and said, "I think Qing'er must have made great preparations. Yun'er, you don't have to worry about Qing'er. We'll be there later." Now you know how good Qing'er is. Okay, you girls, hurry up and get ready."

Li Yaxuan bites the word "extremely prepared" very hard.

"It turns out that the second sister is good enough. In this case, we will see the second sister take the top spot later." Although Li Yaxuan helped Zhou Jiayun, she looked at the slightly mocking eyes of the girls around her. For the first time, Zhou Jiayun could not suppress it. He controlled his emotions, turned around and walked away angrily after saying this.

Zhou Jiahua frowned and followed closely.

Mrs. Feng looked at Li Yaxuan and asked, "If you go over to the play between children, you won't lose your identity."

"I can't bear Yun'er being bullied." Li Yaxuan looked at Zhou Jiaqing's back, her cold eyes showing a trace of anger.

It was originally a matter of a few words between the little girls, but as the mistress of the Hou Mansion, she intervened in it. For a moment, she felt everyone's half-smiling eyes falling on her, and some mocking glances.

Li Yaxuan naturally knew that she had fallen behind because of her involvement in it. She could not stand idly by as she watched her daughter being teased in public by Zhou Jiaqing, a bitch. At the same time, I felt a little cold in my heart. Zhou Jiaqing became more and more aggressive. He was originally mocking Zhou Jiaqing for not overestimating his abilities, but Zhou Jiaqing raised the issue of cheating with his few words.

She and Mrs. Feng were close friends, and they knew everything about the dirty things in each other's houses. They both knew many things that were not mentioned explicitly, so they would not hide it too much.
