Chapter 195 I Can Help Him
The one sitting here is Miss Jiang, the daughter of the Hou Mansion that Ruan Jiaoyan and the others met before.
She was still wearing a thick snow-white fluffy rabbit-feather cloak, but even though she was wearing too much, her face was still a little pale and her hands were cold.
Miss Jiang held up the hot tea, warmed her hands, and looked at the boys in the venue with a slightly firm look.
"No, I can stand it."
"Miss, why do you have to watch this competition? Qingzhu Town is just a remote place. Although there is a rare talent competition in private schools, those who come to participate are just children from poor families or have a little bit of wealthy families. There are no powerful teachers here, so how good are their talents?"
The maid felt very confused, and felt that her lady was already in a mess because she suffered too much damage.
Miss Jiang looked at the venue. Almost all the young students there were dressed in plain clothes.
This is just a small town.
Even the children she saw before were said to be the richest children of Mr. Sun's family in the town, which may be called the most expensive in this town, but in her eyes, the children of some small merchants in the imperial city were much more noble than those of the young men of the Sun family.
The gorgeous clothes worn by the teenagers in the imperial city were beyond imagination of the Sun family.
But what can she do?
"Yinxiang," Ms. Jiang sighed faintly, "You know that I can't go back to the Marquis' Mansion in a short time. When I go back at this time, I will only seek death. However, my cousin told me before that the more a person reaches a dead end, the more he cannot give up. Because maybe one effort will save his life and future."
The maid Yinxiang was a little puzzled.
"I can't give up. What can I do when I arrive in Qingzhu Town? I can't go back to the imperial city myself, but what if I find help here? I can't find it now, but I can train and fund one."
"Miss, what do you mean?"
Miss Jiang looked at the young students in the venue again, and her eyes fell on Ruan Wei'an. The boy had performed very well before. He was young and dressed simply. He looked like his family should be in poor condition, but he was not rushing, not humble or arrogant, and was very smart.
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will catch it. Yinxiang, I don't want to die, let alone die like this." Miss Jiang said, her eyes becoming tenacious again.
All the calligraphy in the field had been collected, and Ruan Jiaoyan and the others found that there were a few people who looked like Master sitting on the other side of the pavilion. Now the calligraphy has been delivered to them, and they were looking at it one by one.
The students who were competing were served by the waiter and sat at the table and waited.
Hot tea can also warm them up.
Ruan Wei'an drank hot tea and gave her sister and Huanhuan a soothing look.
He was very happy that they could come.
"Sister, is Wei'an's look that means telling us not to worry, he won't lose too ugly even if he loses?" Huanhuan asked Jiaoyan in a low voice.
Ruan Jiaoyan was a little amused and crying for a moment.
"Don't you think Wei'an means he won't lose?"
"With so many people, it's not that easy to win." Huanhuan always felt that their family's family was too poor. Although Wei'an could go to a private school, he definitely did not learn as much as others. Moreover, their family has never had any good pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and there were not many books to read. Wei'an should not be as good as those from those with good family backgrounds.
"I'll know when I wait." said Mr. Sun.
At this time, the masters had already achieved results.
"This student is really amazing. I heard that his family is in a bad state?"
"Indeed, everyone in Shangzhai said that he would not be able to pay Shu Xiu next year, and he probably would have to go home to farm by then."
Master Zhao touched his chin and sighed, "No, his family has no ground either."
So he asked Ruan Wei'an to open the wasteland in the private school and plant vegetables. He himself did not have much ability to support a poor student to continue to go to school. However, if Ruan Wei'an's family could hand in the bunch of training, the vegetables in the vegetable field could be eaten in the future.
Now that he saw Ruan Weian win the first place in several rounds of competitions, he felt very uncomfortable. If Ruan Weian could continue to study hard, at least it would not be a problem to pass the Jinshi.
But reading is indeed a very expensive thing. If their family does not have this condition, there is nothing they can do.
"My masters, my lady just saw the competition of all the students. She felt that Qingzhu Town is a talented person, especially the simple-dressed student. It can be seen that the family is in poor condition, but the knowledge is so good. My lady couldn't bear to see such a talented young man who stopped studying because of vulgarity, so she was willing to offer 100 taels of silver to support his Shu Xiu."
A girl dressed as a maid walked in and said something like this.
All the masters were stunned.
"Girl, which house is your lady from?"
"My lady is not from Qingzhu Town. She is just here to rest now. You guys don't need to ask more questions."
Yinxiang took out a hundred taels of silver notes and handed them over, "Our lady wants to ask, is it still the young master Ruan who won the calligraphy writing in this round?"
"It's true that Mr. Ruan won."
When Master Zhao heard this, he was happy for Ruan Wei'an, thinking that he could finally continue studying, and on the other hand, he was a little worried and suspicious. A good seedling like Ruan Wei'an could not have been pulled into a camp by those with intention so early and trained into some minions.
He felt that he had the responsibility to keep Ruan Wei'an in check, so he looked at Yinxiang and asked, "My surname is Zhao, and I am Ruan Wei'an's master. I come from the private school of Sun's family. Can you thank your lady in person?"
Is it their lady’s meaning, or is it the head of this family? How old is this lady? Don’t be drunk?
Although Ruan Wei'an is still young, she is indeed unparalleled in appearance.
"Then please come here in person after I wait." Yinxiang nodded and pointed to the pavilion where they were, "My lady is listening to Xiangting Pavilion."
Each pavilion here has its own name.
She put down the bill and walked out.
The masters looked at each other, and then looked at Master Zhao, "Master Zhao, it seems that you, a proud student, are going to have luck."
"It's hard to say whether it's good or not." Master Zhao smiled bitterly, "Announce the result first."
Ruan Jiaoyan and the others were also waiting nervously for the result.
