The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Looking at Ge Yuanhui's sword-like eyes, Fu Rong felt guilty: "No... Miss Ge, I..."

After thinking for a while, she said, "I saw a scar on one of the bamboo sticks, so I made a new one."

As they were talking, Ge Yuanhui's maid found another bamboo stick with Ge Yuanhui and Zhao Lian's names written on it from under the table: "Miss, we found this one."

Only then did Fu Rongxin breathe a sigh of relief.

Even so, Ge Yuanhui has already determined that it was Fu Rongxin's doing. It's a pity that she worked so hard today, but ended up making things difficult for Xue Zhiyi!

Sooner or later she will find an opportunity to deal with Fu Rongxin!

If Ge Yuanhui dwelled on this matter, it would only appear that she cared too much, so she could only swallow her anger.

From Huo Wuyou's perspective, Xue Zhiyi's little movements were clearly visible.

He blinked: This woman is really bad...she is almost as bad as him.

The few of them had already had a very unpleasant experience when they were in Changqing Garden, so naturally they just exchanged a few polite words and left.

……

Huo Wuyou returned to his tent with a gloomy look on his face.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have played chuiwan. I was so upset for no reason.

Seeing him like this, Sui Yunlang asked him, "Why are you like this?"

Huo Wuyou sat down, picked up the tea on the table and drank it all: "What's wrong with me?"

Sui Yunlang looked at him with disdain: "You are so rude."

He was not annoyed, but just rested his chin on his hand and waited for Sui Yunlang to finish speaking.

Sui Yunlang said, "When you were playing chuiwan just now, I was watching from the side. You will have your coming-of-age ceremony soon, but you still did such a wicked thing of teasing a girl. Did Zhao Lian offend you?"

"No," he said.

"Then why are you looking for trouble?"

Huo Wuyou had no interest in joking with him, and only sighed: "Because I am immoral."

Sui Yunlang was speechless.

……

Not long after the game of Chui Wan ended, the policy debate began.

Although many people take advantage of the Spring Market to come to the Fengming Mountain with its unique scenery to get some fresh air, the most interesting thing about the Spring Market is the policy discussions.

It is indeed very rare to see hundreds of scholars discussing ideas in policy papers, expressing their own opinions and yet opposing each other.

The place for the policy discussion was located in a valley, with a mountain viewing pavilion in the middle of the mountain as its center. Outside the pavilion, there were tables and chairs prepared for the scholars.

Further out, on a slightly higher ground, there were many seats for watching the battle, separated from the soldiers by colorful flags and curtains.

Xue Zhiyi left Su Yue in the tent to look after the house and only brought Qiu Yun with him.

It was a lively place. When they arrived, quite a few people had already come. They quickly chose a seat with a good view and sat down.

Unexpectedly, Fu Rongxin also sat next to them.

At this time, most of the seats had been taken. Fu Rongxin wanted to sit here, but Xue Zhiyi just glanced at her indifferently without saying anything.

Before the policy debate officially begins, Dayong's most famous folk art troupe will play classical music here.

After the elegant music ended, fireworks bloomed in the sky in broad daylight. Setting off fireworks is a waste of money, and the fact that it was done in broad daylight shows the wealth of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

The one who presided over the policy discussion was the young master of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, Ge Jingyang, Ge Yuanhui's elder brother. He was nearly thirty years old and had a beard, which made him look a little old. But after all, he was the brother of the most beautiful woman in Huajing, and he looked handsome.

He announced the topic of the policy debate. Standing in the Guanshan Pavilion, he said, "The court is planning to build a charity granary to store grain for disaster relief in years of disaster, and to collect taxes on the granary. This is a matter that benefits the country and the people. Why do the people complain and repeatedly resist the tax?"

After that, he said to the scholars, "One stick of incense is the limit. After one stick of incense, each of you sign your name and temporarily hide your name, and hand it in together. You are all knowledgeable people in Dayong, and I hope you can express your opinions!"

With the sound of a gong, a stick of incense was lit, and the scholars picked up their pens to think and write.

Xue Zhiyi's eyes wandered among the scholars, as if he was looking for someone.

Today, she did have someone she was looking for, a very important person.

This person is the top scholar in the previous life, or in other words, the original top scholar in the previous life.

In her previous life, the number one scholar who was in high spirits and riding a horse galloping at the end was her good-for-nothing elder brother Xue Tingsheng. However, this was the result of Xue Zhentong colluding with the Minister of Rites and swapping the test papers.

The real top scholar was a poor boy from a farming and reading family, with his surname Jiang and given name Xu.

Later, Jiang Xu discovered that the answer sheet of the new top scholar was the one he had written himself, so he went crazy and beat the drum to protest.

But who would believe that the real number one scholar was not the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion, but a helpless boy from a poor family?

Eventually, Jiang Xu, who had nowhere to turn to, really went mad, and one morning, he was found drowned in a river. It is unknown whether he really drowned or committed suicide.

Xue Zhiyi only learned about these things when he was investigating the unjust case of the Xue family during his three years in Chunfeng Tower.

In her previous life, she had also been to Fengmingshan Spring Fair, and the topic was the same. She vaguely remembered that at that time, most people's answers were to say that the people were ignorant and short-sighted, or that the local officials were corrupt and did not have the trust of the people.

But only Jiang Xu's answer was exceptionally outstanding.

It was for this reason that Xue Tingsheng, who participated in the Spring Fair in his previous life, also set his sights on Jiang Xu. After inquiring and finding out that there was no one in his family in the court, he decided to steal his test paper.

Xue Tingsheng didn't come this time, but that doesn't mean he won't ask around and target Jiang Xu again, not to mention...

She glanced at Fu Rongxin beside her.

What's more, there is Fu Rongxin, who carries the memories of her past life, here. She can't guarantee that Fu Rongxin will not instigate Xue Tingsheng and Xue Zhentong to swap the test papers again.

Finally, after searching for half a day, Xue Zhiyi finally found Jiang Xu among the scholars.

He was wearing a plain white cotton shirt, which was washed clean but had already become worn. His facial features were gentle, his eyebrows were clear, his eyes were clear, and he had the modesty and bookish air of a scholar, which made people feel relaxed and refreshed when they looked at him.

The seats for watching were surrounded by scholars. Not far away, there was a person looking at her from afar while she was concentrating.

Huo Wuyou thought that he might have really gone crazy. Sitting here, he couldn't help but look in the direction of Xue Zhiyi. Seeing that she was always staring at a scholar who looked quite good, he couldn't help but feel displeased.

He propped his head up in annoyance: He did like Xue Zhiyi a little, but he didn't think it was something uncontrollable. Anyway, he wasn't going to let anyone know, and he didn't plan to have anything going on with her. Who knows, he might not like her anymore after a while.

But now it seems that before he completely lost interest in Xue Zhiyi, he felt really uncomfortable. It was really uncomfortable to let his heart be led by her like this.

Sui Yunlang asked him, "What's wrong with you? Why have you been so worried all day?"

He turned his eyes away from Xue Zhiyi and said, "It's okay, don't ask."
