Seeing that Congyan was still waiting for his reply, Jiang Zhen stopped thinking nonsense, and lied: "I don't know." ”

"That's ...... Alright then......" muttered from the smoke with a little head hanging down.

The two of them stopped and stopped all the way, and they didn't dare to slack off at all, just because the competition was about to start.

Entering the wing, there were two or three people in front of him, still moving the chairs, because there were not many women participating in the competition, so Jiang Zhen and others were arranged to write on the same bookcase.

She must not have expected that her position was in the middle, Jiang Shen on the left, and Congyan on the right.

This is good, those who don't like it are all around him, which makes Jiang Zhen upset.

She was still preparing pen, ink, paper and inkstone, so she was not busy working, and suddenly saw Jiang Shen holding her forehead with her hand, looking sick, which was particularly pitiful.

Jiang Zhen was angry in her heart, and she didn't want to deal with her, but Jiang Shen was calculating, leaning around and leaning towards her.

Helpless, I had to help.

"Second sister! What's wrong with you?! Jiang Zhen hugged his second sister and asked.

Jiang Shen pretended to be unwell and replied softly: "Maybe I'm nervous, third sister, can you help the second sister bring a cup of tea?" ”

"What's the matter, the second sister will wait, and the third sister will go." Although Jiang Zhen was reluctant, she didn't want her sisters to be at odds, and the trouble was known all over the city.

Let's go, the patient needs to take care of himself, so let her go.

Congyan was a coward, and he didn't want to be left here alone, so he shouted: "Miss Jiang Zhen! Where are you going?! He got up and followed.

Jiang Zhen glanced back at her, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and said with a smile: "Hehe, are you still afraid of life?!" It's really like a little doll. With that, he stopped where he was, waiting for him to follow.

After the two left, Jiang Shen took out cinnabar from his pocket, sprinkled it with a little powder, and dissolved it on the inkstone.

Jiang Shen was thoughtful, secretive, and the Confucian scholars on the side were all preparing pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and no one noticed her at all.

"Second sister, the water is coming." Jiang Zhen carefully held the tea bowl and walked towards her slowly.

From behind the smoke, he followed in unison.

However, Jiang Shen's face was indifferent, and he said indifferently: "The second sister feels much better, the third sister should drink this water by herself." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Zhen was not lightly angry, his little face turned green, he handed the water to Congyan behind him, and said angrily: "Drink it!" ”

Shrunk her little head from the cigarette, she didn't dare to look at her, although she didn't know why Jiang Zhen suddenly got angry, but helplessly, she was weak, and she didn't dare to ask, so she had to do it.

I took the tea bowl and ate it in small bites.

Tragic! Who are you messing with?!

But when he saw the steward wielding a gong and hammer, "Knock! There was a bang on the gong.

The competition began.

Jiang Zhen hurriedly settled down, temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart, picked up the tea bowl, added water to the inkstone, and then began to grind the ink with the ink strip.

The journey was unharmed, but slowly, the black ink dissipated, and the ink turned from black to red.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhen was very surprised, and hurriedly dipped his fingers in ink, and after a careful observation, he saw that this was cinnabar powder.

Jiang Zhen has a bad heart, everyone knows that black ink is a book, which is written for ordinary people, and Zhu Mo is a book for cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods.

No way, no way, no way! You must not write in vermilion, for if the examiner sees it, you will be punished for your own sin.

- Damn! Who did it?!

Jiang Zhen looked around for a long time, but he didn't find a reason, it was just a waste of time.

She was depressed, but she couldn't put pen to paper, so she had to sit on the seat with her head hanging and wait for the competition to end.

Jiang Shen sat beside her, so that Yu Guang looked at her, and saw that her scroll was still blank, not a word was written, and he was overjoyed at the moment, and praised in his heart: "Great! This time I want you to look good! ”

A good journey's joy, a good journey's worries.

From the smoke is still splashing ink, stroke by stroke is very neat, although there is no god, but there is rhyme, and then glanced at Jiang Zhen on the side, seeing that she had not started to write, and hurriedly asked: "Miss Jiang Zhen, why don't you still use the pen?!" ”

Jiang Zhen held a small face, sighed again and again, and said helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to write, it's that I can't write." ”

The fragrance of ink in the wing room is wafting, and the birdsong outside the window is raging, although it is a rare comfort, but Jiang Zhen has no mind to pay attention to these at this time, and is still worried.

Let's just hand over the white papers, just hand in the white papers, it's a big deal to be scolded again.

Idle and boring, Jiang Zhen played with the Shanlian pen in his hand, pouted a little mouth, and put the pen between his mouth and nose, very playful.

Every time I think that this pen is a gift from him, I will feel very happy for no reason.

With a smile in his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and in a trance, Jiang Zhen was so distracted that he almost didn't laugh out loud.

It's really the appearance of a young girl.

I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly heard "Knock! The gong struck again.

The competition is over.

All the Confucian scholars stopped writing when they heard the sound, straightened their bodies, and waited for the examiner to come to evaluate their works.

Some people are eager to try, and some people are nervous, Jiang Zhen belongs to the latter.

But I saw three old men in brocade clothes, walking slowly from outside the wing, although they were old, but this spirit was really good, the pace was steady, their heads were held high, how to look like ordinary middle-aged people.

After reading several bundles of books in a row, the three examiners all looked embarrassed and sighed: "Alas! No way, no way! ”

The three of them are lecturers at the Zhou Fusi Academy, and their vision is very high, and the words of ordinary Confucian scholars cannot enter the eyes of the three of them at all.

was disappointed, but he returned happily, just because the three of them saw Jiang Shen's words.

"Not bad! Not bad! The handwriting is neat! The strokes are strong! An examiner picked up Jiang Shen's scroll and admired it again and again, but he didn't move for a long time.

Another examiner stopped in front of the cigarette, picked up the scroll, and after taking a closer look, praised, "Come and see!" This little girl's words are also quite good! ”

The three of them all stroked their white beards and admired again and again, and this time they finally saw good words.

Although the words from the smoke are good, the three of them are more optimistic about Jiang Shen, and smiled at him, indicating that if there is no mistake, you are the winner of this competition.

Seeing this, Jiang Shen lowered his head and secretly rejoiced.

- The one who won the championship this time must be me!

The smiles on the faces of the three of them didn't last long, but they turned to anger and scolded, "You little girl! Why do you hand in a blank slate?! ”

Hearing this, Jiang Shen pretended to be surprised, and asked Jiang Zhen beside him: "Third sister, what's wrong with you?!" Why do you hand in a blank slate?! ”

Jiang Zhen didn't pay attention to her, just lowered his head and stirred his little finger.

All the Confucian scholars around heard the prestige, and they all covered their mouths and snickered.

There's a good show to watch.

"Speak! I'm asking you! ”

"That's it! Say it! Why do you hand in a blank slate?! ”

"If you don't say it again, then I will drag you down and hit the twenty boards again!"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Zhen's heart trembled, she had never heard that she had to be punished for handing in a white roll, didn't she just reprimand a few words and it would be over?!

hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the adult, the student didn't mean to hand in the blank paper, but the student's ink ......"

"What's wrong with the ink?! Say it! The examiner urged.

Jiang Zhen still hung his little head, raised the inkstone tremblingly, and replied: "If you go back to the adult, someone added cinnabar to the student's inkstone, so ......"

"Cinnabar?!" The three examiners were stunned, reached out to take the inkstone, and looked at it carefully.

Jiang Zhen is not the only one who is worried, but also Xu Tian.

He was clutching his sleeve and muttering, "It's over! My sachet is gone! Don't involve me in this matter! ”

His sachet was given by his mother, and he always said that cinnabar has a spirit, which can drive away ghosts and evil spirits, and after nagging for a long time, Xu Tian also believed it.

After the three examiners looked at it carefully, they said, "Not bad! Cinnabar indeed! ”

Despite this, I still don't understand, why is the good inkstone stained with cinnabar? !

"Humph! It must be Jiang Jiamanni who can't write! Cinnabar deliberately added to the inkstone! ”

"Not bad! She must have done it on purpose! And then he pretended to be innocent! What a hypocrisy! ”

"That's right! Hypocrisy! ”

Several Confucian scholars who were familiar with Xu Tian sneered.

Jiang Zhen was very angry, he was unlucky enough, but he had to be ridiculed by others, and he was angry!

I can't bear it, I don't need to endure it anymore!

immediately shot back: "What are you talking about?!" Could it be that you added the cinnabar in my inkstone?! So you're in a hurry?! ”

"What are you talking about?!"

"Okay, you Jiang family manny! I'm warning you! Hugh wants to spew blood! ”

"That's it! It must have been your own cinnabar! Hugh will slander us! ”

Jiang Zhen quarreled with several of them, and he didn't pay attention to the three examiners in front of him at all.

The noise continued, and the faces of the three examiners became more and more gloomy, and they scolded: "Enough! Shut up, y'all of you! It's noisy! What a system! ”

"Yes! Students don't dare anymore! Jiang Zhen and the Confucian scholars all lowered their heads and didn't dare to make a sound anymore.

The three examiners looked at each other, and they couldn't make up their minds.

Jiang Zhen's heart trembled, she didn't want to be hit by the board, a pair of small fists clutched the corners of her clothes, and she was especially frightened.

Her various abnormalities were seen in her eyes from the smoke, her mouth opened and closed for a long time, and finally she said in a trembling voice: "Three adults, little girl...... The little girl has a proposal...... I don't know if to talk about it or not. ”

She was already weak, and at this moment, she was already panicking.

But helplessly, if you watch Jiang Zhen suffer, you can't bear it.

"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it." The three examiners replied.

"Yes, the little girl proposed, why not give Jiang Zhen another chance?! Let her ...... Let her write again! With that, he looked up at the three examiners from the cigarette, for fear that the three of them would blame themselves for being troublesome.

Fortunately, no.

"Done! Little girl, we'll give you another chance! One of the examiners said as he picked up the inkstone from the cigarette, placed it in front of Jiang Zhen, and said, "Use this inkstone to dip in ink, write quickly, we don't have much spare time to spend with you." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Zhen was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked: "Yes!" Thank you for your kindness! She didn't dare to delay, as soon as she said that, she hurriedly picked up the Shanlian pen and prepared to write with ink.

Seeing this, the few Confucian scholars who had just spoken out still looked disdainful, in their opinion, Jiang Zhen couldn't write at all, what if he was given another chance? ! It's not like you have to take a board!

Jiang Shen on the side was different, but she saw that she was frowning tightly and staring at Jiang Zhen.

Her third sister can't write, she knows best, not only will, but also writes very well, if she writes, then her own position is difficult to protect.

Jiang Zhen used the Shanlian pen, splashed ink on the scroll, and there was no lack of demeanor between the static and the moving, the horizontal and vertical skimming was vigorous and powerful, and the dragon flew and the phoenix danced between the lines, which made the three examiners in front of him look fascinated.

Good! Great! Fabulous!

After finishing writing, Jiang Zhen put down the pen, and in a trance, she subconsciously reached out and touched the placket of her clothes, which contained the amulet given to her by Chen Yi.

Touching, thinking, for no reason, it made her feel a lot more at ease.

Then he looked up at the three examiners in front of him, and saw that all three of them had big mouths open, and they didn't speak, just staring at the scroll in front of them.

After a long time, an examiner finally spoke: "This ...... This word...... Very good! ”

"Not bad! That's a great word! A stroke is like a bone! It's amazing! Another examiner gave Jiang Zhen a thumbs up and exclaimed.

"Huh! Good little girl! This person who won the championship must have you not run! "After the last examiner speaks, everyone around is confused, why can Jiang Jiamanni still win the championship?!

Everyone knows that the three of them are lecturers in the Academy, and their vision is extremely high, and it must be extremely remarkable to be praised by the three of them like this.

All the Confucian scholars didn't believe that Jiang Zhen could write such good words, and they were all stretching their necks and looking at her.

It's a pity that I didn't look carefully.

But seeing an examiner pick up Jiang Zhen's scroll and display it in front of everyone, he raised his voice and announced: "The winner of this competition!" That's her! Jiang family, Jiang Zhen! ”

As soon as these words came out, some people were going to be unhappy.

I saw Jiang Shen with a gloomy little face, staring at Jiang Zhen and complaining in his heart: "Jiang Zhen! It's you again! Why do you always spoil me for good things?! ”

All the Confucian students left their seats one after another, walked towards the three examiners, polished their eyes, and carefully looked at the big characters on the scroll.

"This, this, this! This is really written by Jiang Jiamanni?! That's a great word, isn't it? ”

"It's a good word!"

"Nope! I don't believe it! It's just a barbarian! How is it possible to write such a good word?! ”

Preconceptions are a big mountain, and it's not easy to change them.

The surrounding discussion was raging, and most of the words of contempt were in the ears, and the vast majority of Confucian scholars still refused to believe that Jiang Zhen could write such good words.

Jiang Zhen was in a good mood, he was taking care of himself, putting away the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, his face was full of peach blossoms, and the smile was called an intoxicating person.

The people around him were despised, but Congyan was really happy about it, and hurriedly ran to Jiang Zhen and congratulated: "Miss Jiang Zhen, congratulations." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Zhen's smile became more and more vigorous, if he hadn't sought an opportunity to speak for himself from the cigarette, then he would have to be beaten if he couldn't keep it.

took her little hand and thanked her: "Hehe, this time I won the championship, thanks to the help of the girl from the cigarette, if there is no girl from the cigarette, then I will have to be beaten if I can't keep it." ”

"Miss Jiang Zhen is serious, I ...... I'm just mentioning it. In the face of others' gratitude, Congyan is still so shy and introverted, and he is a small jasper.

Then put away his own Shanlian pen, the more he thought about it, the more he was happy, holding the talisman on his chest, only to feel that there was a providence in the dark, and to meet him was a great thing from God!

Jiang Zhen and Congyan walked hand in hand on the stone road, walking towards the outside of the Cloud Pavilion.

Jiang Shen stared at herself with a fierce face, she knew everything, and then thought that her inkstone had been added with cinnabar this time, and she couldn't keep it......

Let's go, this matter is over, and there is no need to mention it again.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the Cloud Pavilion, and before they could enjoy the spring in front of them, they were called by the person behind them: "Okay, you Jiang family manny!" Stop me! ”

Looking back, I saw that Xu Tianzheng was coming with four or five Confucian students, and he was violent, and he must have come to find fault.

Jiang Zhen didn't pay attention to them, just stood on tiptoe, looked into the distance, and saw that the people were not there, and they were disappointed.

Xu Tian was not polite, pointed at Jiang Zhen's nose, and directly reprimanded: "Jiang Zhen! You cheater! I don't believe it if you kill me! You can write such good words! ”

"That's it! It must be someone stuffing silver! ”

"That's right! Shameful! How dare you bribe the examiner! ”

Their bloody spewing skills are not bad, and they are about to turn white into black.

Jiang Zhen wrote in person in front of the examiner, there must be no way to cheat, and he bribed the examiner with silver, and there was no such thing, the reason why they bit Jiang Zhen and didn't let go was because of Jiang Shen.

In the final analysis, jealousy is still at fault, just now Jiang Shen went to look for Xu Tian alone, all he said was how pitiful he was, how Jiang Zhen bullied himself, Xu Tian wanted to be the first bird, so he came.

Seeing that Xu Tian and the others were still pestering themselves unrelentingly, Jiang Zhen didn't plan to get used to them anymore, and replied sarcastically: "Xu Gongzi, after you go back, let your cook buy you a pig brain, stewed soup or something, it should be quite delicious." ”

Hearing this, Xu Tian was stunned, only to feel that Jiang Zhen's words were inexplicable, and thought that she wanted to change the topic, and then said angrily: "You don't want to talk nonsense!" Say it! Are you cheating?! ”

"Where am I talking nonsense?! The Yellow Emperor Neijing said: Deficiency is supplemented, medicine is used to dispel it, and food is followed, but as far as Xu Gongzi's brain is concerned, I am afraid that it is a hundred or so pig brains, and it is not complete! Jiang Zhen quoted the scriptures, and what he said was the Tao, but the words were ridiculously tight in his ears, which made the four or five Confucian students behind Xu Tian not hold it for a while, and sneered.
