Chapter 40 Caught to Practice Script Again (2)

And Wen Yantong was taken to the dormitory by Li Boyuan again.Li Boyuan walked very slowly, so Wen Yantong didnt need to rush to catch up.pure tl . com is the original tler / dont re-postThe weather was getting colder and colder. Because of her innately cold body, even if she wore very thick clothes, Wen Yantongs hands were still freezing cold. Nevertheless, in order to maintain her balance, she couldnt put her hands in her sleeves to keep warm.After arriving in Li Boyuan's room, Wen Yantong walked into the room, and as she was taking off her shoes, she suddenly found a pair of brocade boots beside hers.She changed her shoes thoughtfully and walked towards the study with some doubts. As soon as she lifted the cotton curtain, her questions were answered when she saw that Chi Jingxi was sitting in the room.He happened to be facing the door of the study, so when Wen Yantong came in, he instantly noticed her.Wen Yantong, whose eyes lit up as if they were twinkling stars in the night sky, said happily, "Little Marquis, so you are here too!"Chi Jingxi frowned. How come this cripple was here again?Wen Yantong hadn't seen Chi Jingxi for half a month because of several reasons One of them being the enormity of the academy. Songhai Academy was not small, and since their literature classes were far apart, there were usually little to no chances of them interacting. In addition, Chi Jingxi usually doesn't eat or sleep in the academy. He came during class time and left immediately when it ended.Wen Yantong was a little happy when she initially saw Chi Jingxi's handsome face. At least, she doesn't have to face Li Boyuan alone.pure tl . com is the original tler / dont re-postAfter Wen Yantong entered the study, she took off her cloak and hung it on the hanger by the door. Hanging next to it was Chi Jingxi's cloak.The cloak that Chi Jingxi wore today was snow-white, and the fur on it was bright and smooth; it looked very soft to the touch.Wen Yantong quietly reached out, touched it, and secretly tutted.She could figure out that Chi Jingxi's cloak was made of fox fur. In fact, her cloak was also made with fox fur, but compared to this one, it was not even just a little bit worse. It was a whole lot worse. Sure enough, as an aristocrat, the things on his body are all that ordinary people can't buy with money.After Wen Yantong hung up her cloak, she ran to sit down opposite Chi Jingxi. With a smile, she took the initiative to say, "Little Marquis, are you here again today to transcribe articles for Teacher Li?"Chi Jingxi didn't answer.Seeing that the person ignored her, Wen Yantong leaned forward and stretched her neck to read the words on Chi Jingxi's paper. The font, as always, was written neatly, and the strength of each stroke was well-controlled.But in this way, Wen Yantong's head blocked the candlelight on the table, casting a large shadow over Chi Jingxi's paper."Ah, how beautiful!" Wen Yantong quickly praised, and before Chi Jingxi could speak, she shrank her neck back.It just so happened that Li Boyuan entered the door. He gave Wen Yantong a pen and paper, took out a book from the shelf, and said, "Wen Yantong, you did not pass the initial Knowledge of Words exam. I looked through your test paper earlier, and the writing was a mess. Most of it was illegible, and the few words that can be seen clearly were common cut, not showing any deeper meaning. If you go on like this, don't even expect to participate in the imperial examination, since you will not be able to pass the preliminary exams."Shaojing, an empire that attached great importance to literature, had dismissed a hundred schools of thought and only respected Confucianism. There was a complete examination system as early as a hundred years ago.Five-year-old boys in Shaojing must enter school to learn how to read and write. They must study for at least six years before passing the final exam.The young masters in Chaoge, on the other hand, had higher requirements and had to attend school for a longer time. Like Cheng Xin and Chi Jingxi, while studying in the school, they also had to learn to deal with the affairs of the court and prepare for future governance.Even if the people in the academy did not participate in the imperial examination, they had to pass the final exam. This was especially true in a nationally renowned institution of higher learning like Songhai Academy.Li Boyuan glanced at Wen Yantong and sighed deeply, "Although your article last year was not very good, at least it was not as bad as you are now. Why do you go backwards the more you study?"Wen Yantong could not answer. She lowered her head and pretended to be remorseful.Li Boyuan put a book in her hand. "This book contains articles written by top scorers of the imperial examinations in recent years. You should use this to study more."Wen Yantong thanked him, picked up the brush, and started copying an article. Her brain was not stupid, and although she was not particularly talented in learning, it wasnt that bad. In addition, she had been reading articles recently, so some sentences and words were familiar. Thanks to the book given by Li Boyuan, she can go through them in her mind while copying and improving her calligraphy.Li Boyuan sat on the high table next to them, while Chi Jingxi and Wen Yantong sat on the low table. The room fell silent for a while.Wen Yantong had a difficult time maintaining her attention - this was a common problem of most contemporary young people. After copying for a while, she felt tired and became a little distracted.She looked up at Chi Jingxi. The person on the other side didn't say a word from the time she entered the door to the present. He was concentrating on transcribing the article, looking to be very serious in doing his responsibilities.It was only at this time that Wen Yantong felt that Chi Jingxi looked like a prim and proper student. Chi Jingxi was famous in Chaoge not because he was good-looking and had a high status but because of his abilities.pure tl . com is the original tler / dont re-postChi Jingxi's innate conditions were already excellent. His mastery of words could form a meaningful composition, and his military tactics were immeasurable. His only shortcoming was his fuse-like temper. He does not like to give people face.Wen Yantong once thought that the reason why Chi Jingxi could be the villain in the original book was because the struggle for imperial power was inherently cruel. Because Chi Jingxi stood on the opposite ends of the protagonists, Cheng Xiao and Fu Tanghuan, in the life-and-death struggle, Chi Jingxi naturally became the main antagonist.If the struggle for imperial power didn't exist in the first place, would Chi Jingxi still be the feared villain?
