After wearing the book, he was favored by the villains in line

Xiao Yu'er panicked immediately, refused to admit it, pushed Nan Zhihan aside, and said stiffly:

"What are you talking about! That's me...I'm not, seeing that all of you are going to be promoted to Class A at the end of this year, leaving me alone in Class B, how embarrassing I am!"

She said this, but none of the people present believed it, and they all laughed in good faith.

Xiao Yu'er blushed, turned her head away, did not look at Jiang Baoer, just held her head up, and said arrogantly:

"Anyway, you have to obediently drink medicine to cure your illness, and get better soon. They don't play with me when you're not here. They just bury their heads in reading, and I'm going to be bored to death!"

When Jiang Baoer heard this, she could only smile wryly.

They didn't know about the catastrophe Jiang's family had encountered, and they thought that as long as he recovered from his illness, they would be able to study and play together as usual.

But he knew in his heart that his father committed suicide, his eldest brother left Beijing, and his biological mother was ignorant and delusional, and even wanted him to take advantage of Jiang Bingming's absence to seek the title of Marquis of Zhongyi.

The emperor had never exterminated Jiang's family, but for the sake of the relationship between the emperor and his ministers for many years, he had lenient the net.

But that's all, the Jiang family has lost the honor of the emperor, unless the elder brother or himself has achieved something, the Jiang family may only be in decline.

If he had nothing else to ask for, the decline of the Marquis Mansion would also be a decline, at least to reduce expenses and reduce family contacts in the future.

But unfortunately, he still harbored some delusion in his heart. If the Hou Mansion was still prosperous, it would still be possible, but if the Jiang family really fell, he and the person he thought of would be really different. Impossible.

But the eldest brother went to the frontier, and now there is no war between Daqing and the North Qin border, it can be said that it is even more difficult to do meritorious service. If he wants to wait for him to spend his money, I am afraid that decades have passed.

He used to like tinkering with ingenious things. Although he has been studying in the Leng family school, in a sense, his purpose of studying is more than that of becoming an official through the imperial examination. He just wants to be with a few friends. Just be with you.

Now that there is a sudden change, he has grown up a lot in an instant from the little prince of the Hou family who was ignorant of the world.

But just when he changed his mind and wanted to study and become an official, gain fame, and share the huge Marquis mansion for his aunt, there was a word of mouth in the palace that Marquis Zhongyi died, and the eldest brother of the new Xijue went to the frontier. He is the only heir left to stay in the capital.

His Majesty sympathized with Mrs. Hou's widowed mother, and asked him not to take the imperial examination for 20 years.

20 years.

Jiang Baoer, who was kneeling on the ground to receive the order, was in a daze, and couldn't even hear what the servant who came to deliver the order said later.

After this winter, Lou Rongrong will be 15 years old and ready to marry.

Twenty years later, Lou Rongrong will probably be married and have children around his knees. Even if he will be able to go to high school in 20 years, it will be too late.

The shattering of his father's lofty image in his mind, coupled with the subversion of his heart for many years, made him fall ill overnight and his temperament changed drastically.

But he couldn't tell his friends about the depression in his heart, so he had to force a smile:

"Wait...let's talk about it later."

When Xiao Yu'er heard this, Dang even opened her eyes wide, and stared straight back at him:

"What do you mean later? When is the future? Could it be that you really plan not to go back to school?"

Jiang Baoer lowered her head:

"It was useless for me to go to school..."

"you!"

When Xiao Yuer heard this, she was so angry that she wanted to go forward to fight with him again, but Lou Rongrong, who had been standing quietly at the side, stretched out her hand and stopped her.

Xiao Yu'er gave her a surprised look, but she never doubted her trust in Lou Rongrong since she was a child, and immediately retreated obediently.

Lou Rongrong reached out and took out a letter from her sleeve, handed it to Jiang Baoer, and said:

"It's still half a month away, and it's time to go to the academy to accept the imperial examination. These days, the gentlemen of the academy are so busy that they don't have time to spare. If you don't want to go back to the academy for now, why don't you come to the academy to have a look. "

Jiang Baoer moved slightly, and wanted to reach out to receive the letter, but after a second thought, she withdrew her hand again, not daring to look directly into Lou Rongrong's gaze:

"I... I still can't do it, I'm not good at academics, I'm afraid I won't be able to help much if I go."

Lou Rongrong directly stuffed the letter into his hand, and said bluntly:

"It's okay, if you want to come, you can give this letter of recommendation to the dean of the academy, Song Yirou, and she will naturally know your reason for coming. If you don't want to go, then burn this letter and throw it away. It's up to you."

After all, I took a deep look at him:

"Confucianism and Taoism are not the only school of learning in the world. There are clever calculations and refutations of lawsuits. There are worldly principles in them. The current conditions of the academy are limited. In order to pass the examination, they can only try their best to let students specialize in Confucianism."

"But in this world, there are thousands of people who are not talented in studying and becoming an official, but they are quite talented in other fields. There are no pioneers in this way in the academy. If you can come..."

That's all she said, she didn't say any more, left a letter of recommendation, and turned around to leave.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Jiang Baoer's mind, but before he could think clearly, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed the corner of Lou Rongrong's clothes, and said anxiously:

"and many more!"

Lou Rongrong paused, turned to look at him, didn't speak, and seemed to be asking:

"What else?"

Jiang Baoer's heart tightened, a bit of grievance and sadness welled up in her heart, but in the end she just took out a newly made crossbow arrow from the hidden compartment at the head of the bed, handed it to Lou Rongrong and said:

"That day... I was scared and forgot to give it to you. I have already repaired the broken point that day. Compared with the previous version, it can be loaded faster and lighter, but the power of the crossbow is not as strong as that of the previous version. Unreduced..."

When he talked about his works, he couldn't help eloquently, but when he was talking, he saw Lou Rongrong, as usual, listening carefully to what he said, but suddenly his throat choked up, and he turned his head hastily, Push her outward together with the short crossbow I made:

"...The rest you will know after trying it yourself. I'm tired, you... you all go back."

Several people also saw Jiang Baoer's resistance, and had no choice but to leave.

On the way back, Leng Yuhe was the first to get close to Lou Rongrong, and asked in a low voice:

"What happened to Bao'er? He said he was frightened that day... Have you been to the Hou Mansion before?"

He originally asked in a low voice on purpose, but as soon as he finished speaking, the people in the carriage all turned their heads to look over.

None of them were fools. If they hadn't realized the abnormality of the Jiang Mansion when they first went there, everyone would be able to see that the death of Zhongyi Hou might not be as simple as the rumors said.

Facing everyone's gaze, Lou Rongrong didn't hide or dodge, but was silent for a moment, and said:

"Your Majesty ordered that Bao'er should serve as a filial piety in front of his aunt's mother on behalf of the new Marquis Zhongyi, and that he would not be allowed to take the imperial examination for 20 years."
