Chapter 182: Duel
The next day, Jing Ci opened his eyes and was already on the bed in the courtyard. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
She fell asleep last night, and Cui Lu didn't wake her up, after all, it was rare for them to see each other once. There was a strange piece of clothing stacked next to the bed, like a white gauze, but it was a little hard, and she guessed that it should have been put down by Cui Lu.
"Siniang is awake." Fang Nian walked in and stepped forward to pull up the bed curtain.
"Did Cui Lu say what this thing is for?"
"This is Cui Langjun's birthday gift to you, so you must wear this dress every day in the future."
Jing Ci was quite disgusted, "It's so ugly, I don't wear it." β
"That's not going to work." Fang Nian took the clothes and tried to put them on for his master.
"Whose maid are you? He even spoke for him. β
"The slave is for your good, wearing this clothes can be invulnerable, and you are well protected. I scared the slave to death last time, and you must not have another accident. β
"Invulnerability?" Jing Cihu suspiciously touched the clothes in Fang Nian's hand, the material was indeed unusual, and there were many strange things in Cui Lu's hands. But on a hot day, won't it be hot to die when you wear it?
Fang Nian put it on for the master, for fear that the master would play tricks.

After breakfast, Yu Xi came to pass.
Jing Ci knew that the eldest sister had something to explain to her, but this matter was for her...... I don't know if it's good or bad. Now that you've taken this step, no matter what, give it your all.
Wanyuan.
The table was full of dazzling meals, the dishes and bowls were brilliant, and Yang Shouyan sat at the table and ate it slowly and methodically. After a while, she finally put down the swirled silver chopsticks in her hand, and the maid immediately handed over the handkerchief and teacup.
Jing Ci sat quietly on the side, with a cup of tea on the table.
Yang Shouyan finally finished eating, raised his eyes and glanced at Jing Ci, which had been passed early in the morning, and smiled lightly, "I've been waiting for a long time, I dealt with the affairs of the house early in the morning, and I delayed eating breakfast." β
"The eldest sister has done her best for the Yang Mansion, and everyone sees it."
"Yes, after so many years, if I let go one day, I really won't be used to it."
Jing Ci on the side smiled lightly.
"I always thought you were still a child, but recently I found out that in the Yang Mansion in the past few years, you have grown a lot, and your ability to do things has improved very quickly," Yang Shouyan smiled gracefully, looking at Jing Ci with a complicated expression, "It's just ...... Newborn calves, the world in Chang'an is not as easy as you think, as the daughter of Yangfu, I am forced to do so, you are different, you can live your nourishing life, why bother to wade into troubled waters? β
"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, isn't this what the eldest sister taught me?" Jing Ci also smiled lightly and asked her rhetorically.
Yang Shouyan looked at her, a pair of smiling phoenix eyes were extremely sharp, she knew that this sister would not be in the pool sooner or later, but she didn't expect that her progress would be so fast.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Yang Shouyan slowly spoke, "Since this is the case, you can go and experience the current situation." The Queen's favorite youngest daughter, Princess Anle, you know? β
"I've heard of it."
"Recently, she connived at the slaves and plundered the good people as slaves in Chang'an, Princess Anle was arrogant and vicious, it was normal to do such things, it had nothing to do with the Yang family, but two of the people who were taken captive were students in our Yang Academy. Because of this, the students were indignant and quite dissatisfied, if you can rescue these two students from the hands of Princess An Le, I believe that the Yang family will recognize your ability. How about a try? β
Jing Ci looked at Yang Shouyan who had the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and stared at her with a pair of phoenix eyes seriously, "Jing Ci is willing to give it a try." β
"Good!" Yang Shouyan put the teacup in her hand on the table with a bang, her voice was quite hearty and high, and she looked at Jing Ci with wide eyes, she waited and waited.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After returning to the courtyard, Jing Ci immediately asked Qingnu to investigate the cause of the matter.
This time, she has to face Princess Anle, not an old bustard or a clan, and it is definitely not easy to deal with. The matter of the two students in the Yang Academy must be resolved by the Yang family, otherwise it will be a loss of popularity, and the eldest sister is smart, so she will directly throw this matter to her to deal with.
Jing Ci knew in her heart that maybe this was the last fight between her and the eldest sister, as the so-called, it was only three things, and it was estimated that the eldest sister came with a purpose this time.
It has been a day or two since this incident, and in order to better understand the public opinion caused by the incident, Jing Ci decided to go to the Yang Academy to personally appease the emotions of the students.
Jing Ci wore a woman's men's clothes, since she was going to the Yang Academy, there was no need to pretend.
In the south corner of the city, Jing Ci got down from the carriage, and when he looked outside, the school was very quiet, and Jing Ci did not notify the steward in advance, so no one went out to greet him. Jing Ci walked in quietly, and the book room outside was still full of books, and the children's immature reading voices were very cute. Jing Ci walked through the passage on the east side and went to the cross-courtyard study hall.
"What's going on? What's going on! β
Before he could get closer, he heard the sound of the Master's angry scolding.
"Sluggish, not a little like reading! Just like you, do you still want to take the imperial examination? The master stared at the room full of students, with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel, "Think you are powerful when you enter the Yang Academy?" Don't forget, there are also Guozijian and two pavilions above! How do you compare yourself to them? β
"Naturally, we can't compare to ......," a student muttered to a student below.
"Whatβwhat to say?" The Master raised his voice.
"Isn't it? We are just students of the Yang family, and we are relatives of the emperor, even if we are bullied, we have to swallow our anger. β
"That's right, we're also upright readers, so we were bullied like this......"
"Quiet and quiet!" The master slapped the book case with a ruler to stop the students from continuing to discuss, "The country has the laws of the country, and those who do wrong things will be punished sooner or later. β
"Master, it's your student who has been arrested, our classmate!" Some students were indignant and stood up directly.
"The dignified scholar was actually taken captive as a cheap slave, and the court was indifferent, is this the court we want to serve?"
"The woman is in chaos, the saint is inactive, what else do we have to learn!"
The students in the study hall are all assertive and well-educated, and it is not a few words from the master that can suppress them.
"Everyone, don't be impatientβ" Jing Ci outside the door raised his voice, then flicked off his robe, stepped into the room, and looked at the room full of students.
When everyone heard the sound, they looked at the people, and the people who entered were women in men's clothes, handsome and handsome, with blazing eyes, and their eyes were quite sincere and heroic.
"The fourth mother of the Yang family has seen you," Jing Ci raised his hand generously and waved at everyone, "This kind of thing happened to the students of the Yang Academy, Yang Si is deeply sorry for this, Yang Si is the same as you, full of righteous indignation." The Master is right in saying that the country has the law of the country, and those who do wrong things will be punished sooner or later. β
"Let's not be late, just now!"
"That's right, what's the use of rehabilitating the future generations, this matter is already imminent."
"Listen to Yang Si! Yang Si assured you that the Yang family would never stand idly by in this matter, don't say that it is the Yang family who moves the wicked, and it is the scholar who moves alone, it is enough to make people angry, and Yang Si will keep the dignity of the literati and scholars! Jing Ci swore in the face of everyone, with a firm face.
Everyone looked at her, quite hesitant, I don't know what this person can say? In the final analysis, she is just the fourth mother of the Yang family, a little woman who has not dried up.
The old master looked at the students, "Yang Siniang spoke, have you seen it?" The old man turned to Jing Ci and said sincerely: "The old man is here to thank Yang Siniang for the students. β
When the scholars saw the master's behavior, they turned to Jing Ci one after another.
"There is Lao Yang Siniang."
"Please Yang Siniang must be attentive."
Jing Ci smiled lightly, "Please study with peace of mind, Yang Si will definitely give you an explanation." β
