After entering the book, he stole the heroine's charming attributes

"But you won't participate in this year's autumn exam?"

"Of course I will participate."

"So you've been studying at home by yourself, without a teacher. Do you think that's okay?"

"This is just a helpless method. If I fail this time, I can just take the exam again next time."

"But the next time will be three years later. Do you really want to pass the exam after you are thirty or fifty?"

Guan Wenyi looked at Shen Li: "Miss Shen, you might as well tell me your intention directly."

Shen Li listened to his address. Before, she asked him to just call her by her name, but he never listened and still called her Miss Shen.

In fact, it is not appropriate to call people by their given names, but this is a village, and there is no need to address them as young master or young lady, so she always calls them by their given names.

But Guan Wenyi has always been stubborn, which also shows that his character is stubborn and persistent, but she must make him agree to her funding.

"I can sponsor you to study at the academy. There is still some time. If you go, it will also help you in the provincial examination."

Guan Wenyi was a little stunned: "Why...why do you want to support me?"

"Because I think you're worthy. You're talented and have good character. People like you shouldn't be burdened by reality."

Guan Wenyi smiled bitterly: "There are many people like me in the world, you can't help them all, and you have already helped me a lot, the rest of the way should be walked by myself."

"I can't control others, and I don't know them, but we are friends. Isn't it normal for friends to help each other?"

"No, Guan should live his own life. Whether it is hardship or a smooth road, I should face it by myself."

Shen Li knew that he would not blindly accept her help.

Or use a self-torture tactic? To gain sympathy? She should really learn this from Shen Yanyan. No matter what, even though the method is shameful to her, it works. She will try it first.

She gathered her emotions and softened her voice: "Why are you like this?" After that, she didn't say anything else, just looked at him with her bright black eyes.

When Guan Wenyi looked at those eyes, he felt as if his mind was sucked in and he couldn't take his eyes away.

"You...don't do this."

Shen Li admitted that she was not a good person. In order to achieve her goals, she would sometimes use some shameful methods. Just like now, she despised Shen Yanyan for being a white lotus, but now she used the same method to achieve her own goals.

This is all due to the pressure of her previous life. In modern times, she has no one to rely on. No matter what she does or what she wants, she can only rely on herself. But many things cannot be achieved by hard work alone. She has to make good use of her advantages and then get what she wants.

Like in the case of Shen Han, although she was doing it for his own good, she still lied.

There is also Guan Wenyi. She actually admires and appreciates him very much. Such a gentleman cannot be corrupted by wealth and cannot be moved by poverty and humbleness. But she cannot do that.

So on the one hand, she hoped that he would not become Shen Yanyan's helper, get caught up in these disputes, and become her opponent. On the other hand, she also hoped that he could stay like this, not be burdened by reality, and fulfill his ambitions.

But she was also selfish. Before coming here, she hoped that he would be able to help her when he achieved something in the future. But at this moment, she put this idea out of her mind.

"Brother Wen Yi... Ugh." She still couldn't call him brother: "Wen Yi, I really want to help you, can't you help me?"

"But..." Guan Wenyi hesitated.

Shen Li continued, his eyes moistened from staring at him for too long: "Can you bear to reject me like this?"

Guan Wenyi looked at her watery eyes, which were filled with hope and pleading. He did not speak for a moment. He really could not refuse, but this went against his principles.

"You think you can't owe me too much, but my business is doing well now and I'm not short of money. These things are the easiest to pay off, aren't they?"

After waiting for a while, Shen Li saw that he still didn't answer, so he said, "Then how about this, when you become an official and have the ability in the future, please help me more. My business will continue, and I will definitely need your care at that time. Just think of it as me paving the way for myself."

Since she has already decided not to take advantage of him, she said this now just to persuade him to agree. At worst, she will just not ask him for help in the future. However, she also revealed her true purpose.

Guan Wenyi looked at her gently. In order to convince herself, she made herself sound so terrible. Never mind. It was all for helping him. What reason did he have to pretend to be noble here? "You don't have to say that about yourself. I know you mean well. I promise you."

After saying this, he suddenly felt a lot more relieved. In fact, deep down, what he really cared about was not being able to study, but being able to have a relationship with her forever.

Done, Shen Li snapped his fingers in his heart.

She smiled brightly: "Great, from now on, I will take care of your studies. As for your aunt, don't worry, I will help take care of you."

Guan Wenyi looked at her brilliant smile and felt happy: "Thank you very much."

After the matter was settled, Shen Li returned home humming a song and told Shen Han the result. After that, he just had to wait for his news.

Two days later, Shen Han brought news that the matter had been settled and that Guan Wenyi would go to the academy tomorrow. If he passed, he could study directly in the academy.

That day, Shen Li, Shen Xing, and Guan Wenyi went to Hongru Academy together.

In addition to the tuition fee, this kind of backdoor admission requires an additional twenty taels of silver. This amount is unaffordable for ordinary families, but it is nothing for wealthy families. Therefore, anyone who can get admission through the back door comes from a wealthy family.

Shen Li was thinking and waiting for the result until the afternoon, when Shen Han and Guan Wenyi came out.

"How about it?"

"Passed." Guan Wenyi said.

"I can guess that you can do it. Don't worry about the rest. Just focus on studying. There's not much time left before the provincial examination. The more you can learn, the better. You know my eldest brother. You can look for him if you have any problems in the future."

"Ah."

After saying what he needed to say, Shen Li called Shen Han aside and said, "Brother, this is a hundred taels of silver note. You pay his tuition and admission fee, and the rest is for you to use as pocket money. You don't have to save money in the future. You know my perfume business, it's doing well now."

Shen Han didn't bother to be polite with her and took the banknote: "Got it, don't worry, I saw him answering questions today, he is talented, maybe we can become friends."

"That's good."

"Okay, you and your third brother go back, we have to go back too."

After bidding farewell to the two, Shen Li thought about going to the Peach Blossom Rouge Shop to see how much stock was left, but seeing Shen Xing, she didn't smile the whole day.
