Chapter 65 Part 1: Three Tests

Seeing that Jiang Li had come, Jiang Yuan Bai opened his mouth.

Apparently not knowing what he should say, soon afterwards he coughed lightly and awkwardly.

Jiang Li stepped forward and said: “Second uncle, third uncle.”

Jiang Yuan Ping was beaming and sized her up while saying:”Little Li has done well.

Able to gain the top position in Ming Yi hall’s examination is not an easy thing.

I was just talking to your father to reward you well this time.”

Jiang Li smiled and bowed: “Many thanks second uncle.”

Jiang Yuan Ping looked at her with affection.

It seemed that this second uncle was someone with a good temperament.

Compared with Jiang Yuan Bai, he could still pretend.

Looking at Jiang Yuan Xing’s cowardly form, Jiang Yuan Ping had the best outlook.

However, Jiang Li wouldn’t really think that Jiang Yuan Ping was just a simple affectionate elder.

This was a man with a big smile and evil intentions.

Though he liked to smile, he was a tiger.

Provoked his anger and he would soon show his tiger tail.    

Jiang Yuan Xing stood at the very end.

Looking at Jiang Li, he laughed somewhat cautiously.

He said: “Congratulations Little Li.”

As the Jiang family’s concubine born son, despite being the third branch, he wasn’t regarded as anything important.

Especially when Jiang Yuan Bai and Jiang Yuan Ping’s official careers shone brightly.

Jiang Yuan Xing was even more forgotten in the corner. 

It was rather incompatible with the Jiang’s family’s prosperity.

Seeing Jiang Yuan Xing praised Jiang Li with her own eyes, Yang-shi felt upset.

In previous years’ examinations, Jiang Yu’e achieved the best results in the three courseworks among the Jiang family’s misses.

Jiang You Yao was good at playing the guqin because Ji Shuran had invited a famous master to instruct her from a young age.

Jiang Yu’e wasn’t able to have such a good teacher.

Calligraphy, mathematics, etiquette were truly based on their own ability.

The only opportunity to shine in the Jiang residence was grabbed by someone else.

How could Yang-shi’s heart not be irritated

But her irritation was after all could not be compared with the irritation at the bottom of Ji Shuran’s heart. 

Jiang You Yao watched how the three masters in the Jiang residence, including her own father, looked and praised Jiang Li.

Feeling both wronged and angry, she couldn’t help blurting out: “Second sister, this time you came first, there would undoubtedly be many people who think that it’s hard to believe.” 

The people in the room turned quiet.

Jiang Li turned her head to look at Jiang You Yao and quietly said: “Oh”

Sensing that everyone was looking at her, Jiang You Yao hesitated for a bit before looking worriedly at Jiang Li: “Second sister, you returned to Yanjing not long before you entered Ming Yi Hall to study.

It has not even been 10 days since you attended Ming Yi Hall.

Without practice and study but able to be the first…….

It was really somewhat shocking.” After speaking, without waiting for Jiang Li to reply, she actively persuaded: “I know second sister and the Meng family’s miss’s wager is extremely important, certainly second sister is unwilling to lose.

But we are the Jiang family, father is also watching.

Don’t damage the foundation due to trivial matters.

Although reputation is important, quality and strength of a character also cannot be abandoned.”   

In her heart, Jiang Li wanted to applaud Jiang You Yao.

Look at this speech, sounded so dignified, so righteous and awe-inspiring.

But at the same time, they contained such malicious intentions.

Directly suspecting that Jiang Li was cheating to gain the top position. 

Jiang Jing Rui sneered: “Why should we bother with what is in other people’s minds If they can’t accept it then don’t accept it.

Could it be possible to drag Ming Yi Hall’s examiner out for a beating and let other people change the rankings There’s a sentence in the casino, ‘If you agree to bet you must accept to lose’.

Why So only Meng Hong Jin can win while if Jiang Lin wins mean she cheated”  

These words were not face-saving enough for Jiang You Yao and her face flushed with embarrassment. Jiang Jing Rui is a thoughtless person, you cannot reason with him. Jiang You Yao hated Jiang Jing Rui in her heart. 

Ji Shuran hurriedly said: “You Yao was also worried.” While glancing at Jiang Yuan Bai.

Chapter 65 Part 2: Three Tests

Although Jiang You Yao’s remark was accusing, but truthfully, it wasn’t without reason.

Jiang Yuan Bai gazed into Jiang Li’s eyes and said: “Li-er, You’ve never studied before, how did you get the first position I’ve seen the red notice, your three tests, calligraphy, mathematics and etiquette all came first.

You…….

Went to the nunnery when you were seven years old, before you had time to start learning.

Now you have just returned to Yanjing, how is it possible to have such an achievement”

“Father,” Jiang Li smiled: “If you have the heart to learn, regardless of whether there’s a teacher to instruct or not, you will gain something.” After pausing for a while, she spoke as if recalling: “In Mount Qingcheng at that time, life was poor and simple without any joy.

It just happened that there were a lot of books in the nunnery.

There were a lot of pilgrims donating books in the past so everyday when night came and felt that the days were difficult, I just looked at those books.

By immersing myself in them, the time passed a little faster and the hard times were not so unbearable.”  

Everyone was stumped.

Jiang Li drew out a long sigh and said: “I stayed in Mount Qingcheng for eight years.

After reading all the books in the nunnery, I went to the nearby He Lin Temple to borrow some readings.

In this way, for so many years, the books I’ve read were not less compared to Yanjing’s school teachers.” Jiang Li smiled: “Also do not need any teacher to teach, after seeing so much, one will naturally understand at once.” When she said this, her tone was somewhat in low spirits.

Clearly she’s a fresh and tender young girl, yet she looked like she had been through human’s hardship.    

Making people feel sad for no reason at all.

Jiang Yuan Bai felt his throat was blocked.

Jiang Li didn’t say any lines that indicated it was his fault, but every word and sentence was like a complaint.

Before his eyes, an image of a house broken by wind and snow appeared.

In it, there was the young Jiang Li clumsily holding books, living alone and sadly with the light from the oil lamp before the Buddha statue.   

In the end, blood is thicker than water.

A part of Jiang Yuan Bai’s heart suddenly softened.

Whether Jiang Li cheated or not, he wasn’t willing and also didn’t want to bother about it.

Old madam Jiang clearly thought the same and said: “You did well.” It was rigid and dull, yet it contained the meaning of consolation.

Ji Shuran’s back was stiff.

Again, old madam Jiang and Jiang Yuan Bai’s attitude changed again.

Just because of some words from Jiang Li, the situation was immediately reversed.

Extreme anger rose up inside Ji Shuran.

Just a 14-15 years old girl but similar to a goblin, able to perfectly grasp people’s mind.

Since entering the residence, she hadn’t received any benefits.

Instead let her gain the upper hand. 

Truly outrageous.

Jiang You Yao no longer spoke.

She instigated using a few sentences yet there wasn’t any result.

Including Jiang Yu’e, both understood what happened before their eyes and no longer said anything.

On the contrary, a bit of sympathy towards Jiang Li was aroused in Lu-shi. Looking at Jiang Jing Rui as if he was the one thrown into the broken ancestral temple.

It seemed that as long as Jiang Li commanded a word, she would stand up for her. 

“Second girl, don’t be arrogant.” Old madam Jiang faintly said: “You came first for the three tests, there are three more tests to be examined.

Heard the Meng family’s girl got second place in the three tests.

Supposed that she passed you in music, riding and archery, you will still lose the wager.” 

“You’ve passed these three tests, just continue to win over your opponent is good.” She asked: “Do you have confidence”

Jiang Li smiled sweetly: “I’ll try and do my best.”
