Chapter 66 Part 2: Famous Reputation

Seriously, villains and cannon fodder always take the road downhill.... -_- A trip doesn’t make you stumble if you step your foot in the right direction people!!! Aiyoo, why care so much about face ahh

If talking about calligraphy, mathematics and etiquette, Meng Hong Jin could still be considered as outstanding; the following music, riding and archery, without mentioning music for the time being, riding and archery, these two, were actually her specialty.

Thinking of this, Meng Hong Jin’s heart was a bit settled. Even so, the feeling of disgrace given by Jiang Li didn’t disappear. Because of Jiang Li, her bold words before seemed like a joke. Couldn’t even compare to an idiot who just entered Ming Yi Hall, she didn’t know how many people were talking behind her back.

As long as Meng Hong Jin thought of other people’s sneering gazes, her hatred towards Jiang Li rose. She wished in the next examination she could trample Jiang Li under her horse’s hooves.......

Suddenly, an idea emerged in her mind.

If Jiang Li was trampled under the horse’s hooves....... On the examination field, the sword had no eyes.......

Her heart that was like rolling in cold water had hot water poured into it. It warmed up and slowly boiled.

......

On the other side, Meng You De who was looking around for Jiang Yuan Bai and the examiner’s “collusion”, was also bound to return without any result.

To prove that Ming Yi Hall’s examinations were fair, they intentionally posted the top three papers at the side of the hall’s door. Momentarily, countless people viewing them.

Meng You De was almost squeezed out by the people and could only hear the discussion of the people beside him: “Whose mother1 said that Jiang second miss doesn’t know any character? I simply must hit the person hard with a pole until his brain is broken. I see that Jiang second miss’s characters are written much better than the scholars studying in village school who’ve passed the county level imperial examination. Although I can’t recognize a single character, I know that it looks good!”

This was probably a commoner.

Gentle scholars appeared to be there as well, their voices stood out from the crowd and were transmitted into Meng You De’s ears: “The literary work is still the most amazing, quoting the classics and her unique insight. Jiang second miss must be a person who reads extensively. I’ve studied painstakingly for 15 years, but no better than a young girl. Ashamed, ashamed!” He then covered his face and sighed deeply.

“Everyone says seeing characters as seeing the person, Jiang second miss’s writing is just like a male. Considerable vision, open and bright, resembling a heroic youth.” A muffled voice that seemed to be coming from a rough bearded man with the style of a soldier was heard.

“This skill of accounting is good, it’s a new method. This method is good, I’ll copy it first and when I return I’ll use it to balance the accounts in the shop. It’s actually much easier than the previous method.” There’s also a merchant with a golden abacus hanging on his neck eyeing the paper with radiant eyes.

In short, when the copy of Jiang second miss’s paper came out, all the rumors disappeared. It’s impossible to leak out Ming Yi Hall’s exam papers, so Jiang second miss ought to be doing them on the spot. In contrast with the other two top positions, Jiang second miss’s exam paper was evidently much more brilliant.

This number one position was really worthy of its name.

Ming You De walked out from the crowd in a daze. He no longer needed to spend money and attention to look for the evidence of Jiang Yuan Bai colluding with the examiner. Jiang Li’s exam papers did not just distinguish herself, the Jiang family also received glory. And the more praise Jiang Li got, Meng Hong Jin would equally be less in comparison. In fact, she would seem more inferior.

It’s not uncommon in the officialdom for one person to rise by stepping on another person’s in a higher position. Meng Hong Jin also represented the Meng family. In this round, the first half of the bet, the Meng family had lost.

Meng You De walked towards his own residence with empty steps. The surrounding excited discussions gradually blurred in his ears. Now, the gamble this time was no longer a game between children. It’s influence was too big already, perhaps even the palace had already known. If Meng Hong Jin could not turn the table in the next three tests, the Meng family would no longer have a chance at success.

That would be troublesome.
