During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Chapter 168 Gao Hui’s Thoughts

Although Jiang Qian's legs can walk normally, they still feel a little stinging when it's cloudy and rainy. The weather has been a bit cold these past two days, and his legs also hurt from time to time.

"Brother Jiang, are you okay?" Gao Hui looked at him nervously, threw the book in his hand directly to the classmate closest to him, and trotted over.

The classmate didn't get angry even after he smashed the book on his back.

Jiang Qian shook his head and then looked at the daredevil who bumped into her.

He is a childish young man, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a slightly round face and a rather pleasant appearance.

"Sir...Sir, are you okay?" The slightly older man ran over and stared at the young man nervously.

"I am fine."

The young man's voice sounded very childish, and Jiang Qian glanced at the young man's earlobe.

The man obviously breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head to face Jiang Qian, and cupped his hands, "My brother was reckless and bumped into the young master. I hope you will forgive me."

"I was in a hurry to go home and accidentally bumped into this young master. It's my fault, right?"

The man felt that he was different from the students he met along the way, and he wanted to make friends. "My surname is Lu, and my single name is Lin. May I ask how you call me?"

"Jiang Qian."

Lu Lin's eyes lit up, and before he could speak, the young man on the side looked at Jiang Qian with curiosity, "You are Jiang Qian, Jieyuan last year. I heard that you were carried into the examination room. The student who was originally invigilating the examination The reason the examiner didn't want you to take the exam was because you argued hard with them, and finally they agreed. They also made a bet with the examiner at the time, saying that if you could get No. 1 in the exam, they would recognize your score. Is it true that if you don’t win No. 1, your results will be cancelled?”

The young man spoke quickly and said a lot of words, looking at Jiang Qian eagerly.

Jiang Qian took two steps back to distance himself and said modestly, "Young master, you're welcome. These are just brags from outsiders."

"It may be groundless, but it may not be without reason. With so many people saying you are great, you must be great. By the way, which class are you in?"

Jiang Qian glanced at the sky and said nicely: "Class A."

"Okay, I want to be in the same class as you."

Jiang Qian: "..."

"By the way, my name is Luo Huan."

Jiang Qian smiled slightly and walked around them. Upon seeing this, Gao Hui hurriedly followed.

"How come I've never seen that student just now? Could it be that he's a student this year? That's such a big statement. He said he wanted to enter Class A as soon as he came."

There are three best classes in Yuzhou Prefecture School, all starting with Jiazi. Among them, Class A[-] is the most powerful. It is said that those who graduate from this class will not be able to become officials in the court in the future, but they can also occupy a place in the literary world.

Therefore, everyone who comes to Yuzhou Prefecture to study is thinking hard to squeeze in, but very few can actually get in.

Most of the people who are able to study in a government school rely on self-study exams, but a considerable number of them are financed by their families or their official positions.

Although their families can afford to send them to a private school, it is impossible to send them to Class A because Class A generally does not care about money, only ability.

Every year at the end of the year, the school will rank each student. Only the top [-] students can enter Class A, and the top [-] students can enter Class A.

Jiang Qian got No. 1 in the end-of-year exam in his first year of school, directly occupying the top spot. It is said that a master recommended him to take the exam in the capital last year.

But Jiang Qian refused because he hurt his leg.Gao Hui followed Jiang Qian out of school and naturally got into the same carriage with him.

"Aren't you going home?" Jiang Qian was surprised.

"I won't go back. There's no one at home anyway."

Gao Hui was also studying in a government school, but his grades were slightly worse and he was ranked in Class B and Class B. His family rented a house for him in Yuzhou and sent several people to look after him.

Originally, Mrs. Gao was also going to come, but Gao Hui was unwilling to do so. He felt that her being here would disturb his studies, so Mrs. Gao had no choice but to select a few capable people and send them over.

Later, Jiang Qian also rented a house in Yuzhou. Gao Hui once invited him to come over, but he was rejected.

Adhering to the idea that if you don't come, I will go there, Gao Hui went to Jiang's house as conveniently as going to his own home.

Jiang Qian originally didn't like to be disturbed by too many people. Firstly, he didn't know anyone in Yuzhou, and secondly, Gao Hui was considered one of his own. After going back and forth, his tolerance for each other increased a lot.

Hong Da drove the carriage back to the small yard where they rented. Gao Hui found the kitchen with ease. Sister Zhong had already prepared the meal. "Master Gao is here. I made your favorite Sixi meatballs today. Go quickly." Wash your hands and you’ll be ready to eat soon.”

"Sister-in-law Zhong understands me and made Sixi Meatballs specially when she knew I was coming."

Jiang Qian glanced at him, put the book basket back in the study, washed his hands and prepared to eat.

Gao Hui knew that his legs and feet were not good, so he took the initiative to take over the task of fetching water, and even handed him handkerchiefs, serving him like a servant.

Jiang Qian could tell at a glance that Gao Hui had a problem, but he didn't ask.

After dinner, Jiang Qian copied and wrote comments and made articles as usual.

Gao Hui either came to bring food or drinks, but Jiang Qian didn't ask.

Gao Hui finally couldn't help it anymore and asked, "Why don't you ask me why I came to you this time?"

Jiang Qian curled his lips, "If I don't ask you, won't you tell me?"

"That's right. Well, let me tell you, my father sent me a letter yesterday, saying that my family has arranged a marriage for me and that my new daughter-in-law will come to me in two days. ”

"It's true what you said about my parents. I'm still studying. Why are you so anxious to arrange a marriage for me? And I don't even know who the other party is, and I haven't even met them in person, so they decided on the marriage. "

"If this person is ugly or has a bad temper, wouldn't my life be over?"

Jiang Qian didn't even raise his head, "You can tell your parents directly what you think. Only a son like you will respect you."

Gao Hui went to kick the threshold, "It's useless. I made a bet with my parents before. If I can get into Class B and One in the end-of-year exam, my marriage will be at my discretion. Didn't I fail the exam?"

It's pitiful for him to say that he is only one place away from entering Class B and Class B.

After Mrs. Gao, the magistrate of Gao County, found out that he had failed the exam, she directly found a match for him in Huachang County. In fact, given his age, he really should get married.

But there are many people of his age who are not yet married.

Such as Jiang Qian.

Gao Hui envied Jiang Qian very much. There was no pressure from above and he had a strong learning ability. It was only a matter of time before he passed the exam.
