The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 62 So good
  "In addition to the training of women's virtues, Wen Jiu has been familiar with the Book of Songs and Rites since childhood, the Tao of Confucius and Mencius, and a little bit of arithmetic. I have also read the Warring States Policy in the hands of that gentleman."

Another gentleman was placing a copy of Warring States Policy that he had read in front of his desk. When he was mentioned, his hands suddenly trembled.

There was some appreciation in his eyes: "The master actually asked you to read this book?"

"My father didn't ask me to read it. I found it in the library in my spare time."

Wen Jiu continued to explain: "My father will only punish me for copying the laws of my court, so if I say he is proficient in the laws of my court, Wen Jiu knows it by heart."

Wen Jiu glanced at Chen Shu and saw that he had a calm face and a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. Little did he know that he just breathed a sigh of relief and sat up straighter.

"What? Sister Wen has even read these books?" Li Shiyi held her face in her hands, with a little admiration in her eyes, knowing that her father would never allow her to read these books.

Zhang Jin couldn't help but frown slightly. Her upbringing was very strict. How could these books be read by women?

"I don't want to read the books I should read. Miss Wen has read every one of these shocking books."

The fifth princess slowly turned her head, her eyes flashing with inexplicable emotions, neither disgust nor contempt, but a kind of appreciation.

"In reply to the Fifth Princess, she is well versed in the past and present, and can strategize. The higher you stand, the farther you can see. There should be no distinction between men and women in this matter."

Wen Jiu smiled slightly. If she guessed correctly, the fifth princess was much more thoughtful than the sixth princess, including her ambitions.

"Okay!" Lin Qingcang raised his head and glanced at Wen Jiu, with a somewhat unclear meaning in his eyes: "It's okay if Miss Wen has learned these things, and they won't be taught in the school."

"Yes, sir." Wen Jiu sat down, minding his own business.

"On the contrary, Miss Zhang Er can be a role model for you. If you don't understand anything in the future books, you can learn from each other and ask her for advice."

Everyone looked at Zhang Jin and saw her lowering her head humbly. Wen Jiu's eyes that looked at Chen Shu also stayed on Zhang Jin, and he suddenly felt lost.

What's there to read in those books? Pedantic!
  She left home when she was young, so her father and mother naturally had no control over what books she studied, but Qingyun Mountain was different. If she didn't study these books, the master would give her a hard slap on the palm of her hand.

About half an hour later, Lin Qingcang said: "As the saying goes, there is a golden house in the book. I hope you can learn from it with an open mind and don't have to argue in vain. I will also say ugly things in front of you. If there are people who are unwilling to learn, just leave on your own. That’s right, there’s no need to force him to stay.”

Wen Jiu lowered his head silently. She was the one who didn't want to learn, but she was also the one who had to stay.

When Chen Shu passed by Wen Jiu, his pace slowed down unconsciously. Wen Jiu was seen hanging his head, looking mentally exhausted.

The Hanlin Academy was full of highly respected old academics, and it was really embarrassing for her to let someone of her age and temperament sit here and listen to their long speeches.

Wen Jiu seemed to feel a line of sight. When she raised her head, Chen Shu had already stepped down the steps.

She didn't see the person she wanted to look at, but the fifth princess ran into her sight. She looked at her deeply. Wen Jiu was the first to look away, lowered his head and bowed slightly, as a courtesy.

"Jiu'er, you know you are different from others!" As soon as they left, Si Huaian ran to Wen Jiu and grabbed her hand excitedly, "I thought Mr. Wen was old-fashioned and pedantic, but I didn't expect him to be so. Let you read these books."

"Princess, I read it behind my father's back."

Wen Jiu's eyes twitched, and he felt a little panicked. In the eyes of the world, these books should not be read by women. If it were spread, I don't know what those people would say about their father behind their backs.

Zhang Jin took care of himself and prepared to leave with Liu Yue, but the person behind her was still angry, and when he passed by Wen Jiu, he didn't forget to give her a hard look.

It's so easy to get angry.
  After entering the room, Wen Jiu came to the window and pushed it open.

The bright skylight is coming down from high places, and there are only some bare tree trunks left in the forest. There are no mottled tree shadows on the ground. You can see the end at a glance. A shadow of a cat happened to flash across the forest, and it disappeared before Wen Jiu had time to see it clearly.

Does anyone have a cat here?
  She frowned and stared at the vague resentment in the forest again, which seemed to be lighter than at noon.

"Girl, this is the pen sent by Mr. Chen." Zisu entered the room at some point, holding a box in his hand.

Wen Jiu opened his mouth slightly, a little surprised.

She opened the box and took a look. She found a purple-haired pen with a very exquisite workmanship. The thickness of the pen barrel was very suitable for a woman to hold.

Although it is not comparable to the ones in his father's study, it is many times better than the one I have.

"Mr. Chen said that the girl is being punished for copying today. If she writes with the pen on her hand, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort."

"Where are they?" Wen Jiu raised his head and asked.

"That direction seems to be leaving the academy."

Before Zi Su could finish speaking, Wen Jiu picked up her skirt and chased after her.

"Girl, slow down!" Zi Su quickly picked up Wen Jiu's cloak and chased after her.

"You don't have to follow me, I'll come back as soon as I go." Wen Jiu stood at the door and turned around.

She took advantage of the situation and looked around. She had just finished school and everyone was resting in the room. No one should know how many steps she took.

Chen Shu walked unhurriedly. Today's work was done, and he only needed to return home before dinner.

At that time, Chen Miao was still thinking about whether he could follow him to the academy. Now it seems that not being selected is not necessarily a bad thing.

"Master Chen!" Wen Jiu ran all the way and finally caught up with Chen Shu on the bamboo forest path near the exit.

She gasped slightly and stood in front of Chen Shu, "Thank you. Thank you, Master Chen. I will definitely copy it carefully for that pen."

Wen Jiu was already wearing thin clothes, so running all the way made her face blush a little, and her snow-white coat made her skin fair and delicate.

Chen Shu was much taller than Wen Jiu. He looked at her wing-like eyelashes fluttering, looking pretty and bright.

She came in a hurry, and was quite anxious when she stopped. The two were so close that Wen Jiu smelled the scent of soap locust on Chen Shu's body in his breath, and subconsciously took a step back.

"Yes." Chen Shu calmed down and spoke calmly, but he was no longer as repulsive as before.

"Mr. Chen today, do you think I should read some of the books that Miss Zhang Er mentioned?"

There was some uneasiness under Wen Jiumei's eyes, but he didn't dare to show it.

"No need, the books you studied are all excellent, and your teacher has been teaching you well."

"Are you telling the truth?" Wen Jiu's eyes were bright and he looked at Chen Shu expectantly.

"Miss Wen, if everyone can understand the knowledge of the world and apply it to benefit the people, what man can learn and what daughter's family can't learn?"
