CHAPTER XXXI

"I'm Song Xianiang, the organizer of this competition, please ask, are you the judges sent by the Ji Family Academy? Why didn't Dean Ji come? Song Xianiang didn't care about etiquette, so she opened her mouth and asked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Meng Tan still remembered Song Xianiang and reported to her, "Second Miss Song, Brother Yang and I were sent by Dean Ji to be judges, please take care of me." ”

Take care of it, take care of a fart! This girl is going to open the skylight, how to take care of it! Song Xianiang resisted the urge to burst into foul language, and said hardly: "Why did you come instead?" Didn't you say before that Dean Ji was here? If you change someone, you have to say it in advance! ”

Yang Jian and Meng Tan looked at each other, completely unaware of what was going on, and finally Meng Tan continued: "We really don't know about the replacement you said, Dean Ji notified us to come to judge five days ago, and we are here today." Is there some misunderstanding in this? ”

Misunderstand? Wasn't it just when I mentioned the competition with Mrs. Song five days ago? In other words, the Ji family appointed students to be judges at the beginning, but Mrs. Song didn't mention it! Obviously, it's just about seeing your own jokes!

The more Song Xianiang thought about it, the more angry she became, and then she thought that Mrs. Song was stumbling like this, and in the end, Song Chunniang's plan was ruined, and it was not her own daughter who was delayed?

Song Chunniang really calculated a lot, but she missed the mother who pulled her hind legs.

Thinking about it like this, Song Xianiang's anger disappeared a little, "Maybe I mentioned it before, but I forgot about it." Since they were sent by the academy, they are all erudite people, so I will leave the judgment to you in a moment. ”

Meng Tan smiled and touched his head with his hand, "Second Miss Song is polite." We will do our best to do what the dean commands. ”

Song Xianiang bowed slightly to express her gratitude, turned around and left.

"This is the second girl of the Song family? The temper is quite urgent. Yang Jian looked at Song Xianiang's distant back and said with emotion.

Not only is it urgent, but it also changes its face. Deng Anqian slandered.

"Maybe it's such a big competition, so I'm in a hurry. Last time, I was fortunate to meet a few young ladies of the Song family in the academy, and they were all polite. "The twins had been helped by the Song sisters before, and Meng Tan unconsciously said good things for Song Xianiang.

"I don't know if Miss Song will come to the competition, if only we could meet and ask questions." Last time I regretted missing the opportunity to meet Song Chunniang, Yang Jian always had regrets.

"Brother Yang is erudite and talented, I don't know if there is any question I need to ask a woman?" Deng Anqian asked curiously.

"Brother Deng praised falsely, everything in the world, how can I, Yang and He De, understand it? A few days ago, I happened to read a book about weaving cloth and raising silkworms, and I didn't understand some places, thinking that the Song family had opened a cloth village for many years, and should be proficient, so I had the idea of asking for advice. ”

Deng Anqian smiled, a scholar is a scholar, and it is too late for others to prepare for the autumn season, but he is good, and he also looks at miscellaneous books, he is really more popular than people......

"If Brother Yang really wants to consult this issue, why don't you let Dean Ji introduce you on your behalf? If I'm not mistaken, Dean Ji and the Song family are in-laws, right? ”

Speaking of his teacher, Yang Jian was a little embarrassed, "Dean Ji doesn't like me to read miscellaneous books the most, so let him know that I am going to be punished." ”

"Oh? Why didn't Dean Ji let Brother Yang read miscellaneous books? ”

"It's not because Dean Ji has high hopes for Brother Yang Qiuyu and hopes that he can go to high school, so he doesn't let him read idle books." Meng Tan rushed to explain the reason.

I see. Although Jijia Academy is famous in Yuncheng, Yuncheng and even Yanzhou are mainly engaged in business, and there are very few officials from the imperial examination, and the reading atmosphere is not heavy, so Jijia Academy has never achieved good results in the imperial examination. Now that I finally have a good seedling, Dean Ji can see it as much as his eyes.

However, as a child who can barely be called an official family, Deng Anqian thinks that it is very important to read more miscellaneous books and learn more about other aspects of knowledge, and the imperial examination is just a stepping stone to enter the officialdom.

Yang Jian is only born in cloth clothes, and he lacks connections, so what he can fight for is performance. It is essential to go to the mountains and the countryside, and all kinds of knowledge that are considered miscellaneous books are very important.

Before Yang Jian participated in the Autumn Festival, he had already read miscellaneous books with foresight, was it unintentional? Or did it happen intentionally? If it's the latter, then this person is not shallow.

In any case, this person has a bright future in the future, and he is not a thing in the pool.

Deng Anqian's eyes looked at Yang Jian a little more meaninglessly, and he was a little more cautious when he spoke again: "Brother Yang is talented, and he can be diligent and inquisitive, so it is natural that he can be valued by Dean Ji." However, I think that it is very beneficial to learn more than I can learn. ”

"I see the same thing as Brother Deng..."

Hearing the two friends sigh together, Meng Tan couldn't help but say happily: "You two are so like-minded, if you can be officials in the same dynasty in the future, you can advance and retreat together." ”

No one took this sentence, Yang Jian and Deng Anqian both had to participate in the Autumn Festival, both of them were extremely talented, but who would dare to guarantee the ticket in the future? That is, Meng Tan is honest and straightforward, and blurted out the words of advancing and retreating together.

After Song Xianiang left the judges' seat, she walked for a while, and her anger had already disappeared by half, although she was angry with Mrs. Song's little conspiracy, but she couldn't bear Song Chunniang.

is also a daughter-to-be family, and she also empathizes with the importance of future marriage. If such a capable person can't end up with a good home, she is also related.

I thought about it. Song Xianiang called her confidant Mei'er: "You go to Buzhuang and tell the eldest sister that the plan has changed, and Dean Ji did not come." Let her come and think of a way, and she must bring this to her. ”

Mei'er answered and hurried to Buzhuang.

After solving the emergency, Song Xianiang breathed a sigh of relief, everything that should be done has been done, and the rest depends on God's arrangement.

In a lighter mood, Song Xianiang turned around and returned to the lobby to inspect the preparations.

It was less than a quarter of an hour before the start of the competition, and the first few girls to go on stage were already preparing nervously offstage.

Wen Yueyue was the third to take the stage, and what she was ready to show was playing the flute.

When the Wen sisters were young, Mrs. Wen once spent a lot of money to hire a master to teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the two sisters were not that material, so they couldn't learn well.

In desperation, Mrs. Wen also gave up training in this area.

Now that she wants to show her talents, Wen Yueyue doesn't know anything, so she has to pick up her old art again, and temporarily find the best song to play, which she has learned and sold now.

Song Xianiang walked to Wen Yueyue's side and patted her shoulder gently to comfort: "Don't be nervous, it's just a tune, and it won't be good if it is broken." ”

Wen Yueyue hummed with a bitter little face: "Second cousin, what if I don't want to go on stage?" ”

"Why not? You've been practicing for days, wouldn't it be in vain not to go on stage at this time? ”

"I just don't want to...... If it weren't for my mother forcing me to come, I wouldn't have been out for several days, and I would have been so bored, otherwise I really wouldn't want to come. ”

Song Xianiang sighed, Aunt Wen ******** to find a good husband for her daughter, she really spared no chance, to be honest, this kind of competition, with Wen Yueyue's level, it would be good not to be ugly, and it would be even more difficult to get a good reputation......

However, it is Aunt Wen's mind that can make Song Chunniang come up with a corresponding strategy, but it's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and they owe the protagonist of singing to have everything.

Anyway, the next thing can only depend on Song Chunniang's strain. Song Xianiang collected her thoughts and continued to comfort: "If you come, you will be safe, Aunt Wen is also for your good, and she will behave well on stage for a while." ”

Wen Yueyue pouted, "Perform anything, you won't know anything." However, I won't be at the bottom. Do you know, Xiao Mei is also here, she is the daughter of Aunt Xiao's family, she is timid and afraid of things, she doesn't know anything, and she must be ranked behind me. I don't know what Aunt Xiao thinks, let her embarrass her......"

What else can you think? Don't you want to gamble and give it a go? It's the same nature with Aunt Wen. After all, the people in this competition have daughters and sons, what if they are taken alike? As for Xiao Mei, Wen Jisheng can't work there, so he should find a way back for himself, right? Or take the opportunity to contact Wen Jisheng?

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. I saw Xiao Mei coming over like a weak willow helping the wind, with a small face that was pale, big eyes watery, and it looked particularly pitiful.

Wen Yueyue was used to being the eldest sister in front of Xiao Mei, so she waved her hand and said, "Xiao Mei, this way." ”

Xiao Mei walked over in small steps as if she had seen a savior: "Cousin Yue." Finding that Song Xianiang was also there, she hid behind Wen Yueyue as if she was afraid, and called timidly: "Cousin Xia." ”

Song Xianiang is so disdainful, she can do the thing of hooking up with her cousin, what are you pretending to be simple? Fake. This kind of person, even if Song Chunniang doesn't make a move, she wants to clean up.

"Yo, whose girl is this? How do you call my cousin? Why don't I remember any other cousins besides the Wen family? This relative can't be recognized, obviously he doesn't have to be affectionate, what kind of intentions does Ann have? Song Xianiang said very loudly, which aroused the curiosity of several girls around.

Xiao Mei blushed, gritted her teeth in anger, and continued to pretend to be like a little white lotus on her face, "Cousin Xia, I am Mei'er from the Xiao family's pharmacy, and my mother is the original third lady of the Song family, although my family is poor, and I can't get enough to interact with the Song family on weekdays, but you can't pretend not to know me......"

Ho, what a little white lotus who sings and writes well, this girl still climbs on the head if she doesn't open it, isn't it acting? Who's afraid of whom?

"It turned out to be the cousin of the Xiao family? It's been a long time since we did. When was the last time we met? I want to think about it. It seems that your mother led you to my house to borrow money, right? If you can't borrow money, you won't come to my house again, and you won't even visit your grandmother during the New Year's holidays. It's really hard to remember such a relative......"

The Xiao family often sweeps the autumn wind, many people in Yuncheng know about this, and no one believes Song Xianiang's words, and the eyes that look at Xiao Mei are not good for a while.

Xiao Mei blushed and said, "Cousin Xia, don't say that, our family really can't afford to borrow money, and our family has the ...... to work hard to repay the money."

"What is the situation of your family, whether you are trying to repay the money, everyone knows in their hearts, it's just that if you can't borrow money, you can't even open the door, and you want to come to your relatives in the eyes of your family is a money number, specially for exchanging silver, right?" Song Xianiang said mercilessly, and then turned to Wen Yueyue and said: "You also have to be vigilant, don't dig out your heart and lungs for such relatives, and save yourself from being used as a cash cow by others." ”

Xiao Mei tugged at Wen Yueyue's sleeve, "Cousin Yue, I won't do this......"

Wen Yueyue was caught in the middle, but she didn't know how to answer, and she couldn't speak.

It's really easy to be coaxed, forget it, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and he is too lazy to be a bad person.

Pouting, Song Xianiang dropped a sentence: "Okay." You'll be able to tell for yourselves. Just don't cry in front of me then. "Pian Pian ran and left.
