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

Chapter 63: Biting people's tongue
  Chen Shu looked at Wen Jiu with a deeper look and said, "Young lady is extremely smart and an unusual boudoir woman. If you like these books, I will bring you some more from home."

"That's great!" Wen Jiu agreed hurriedly, not because of this book, but because these books belonged to him.

"It's getting late, Miss Wen, please go back quickly. I'm afraid you'll catch a cold if you stand any longer." Chen Shu lowered his eyes and reminded, not daring to look at Wen Jiu any longer.

"Okay, sir, be careful on the road."

Wen Jiu turned around, his expression suddenly beaming with joy. Chen Shu praised her, Chen Shu praised her!
  "That Chen Shu wanted to climb the high branch of our hibiscus tree, but he failed. I thought everyone knew it."

Just after passing by the door of Liu Yue's room, I heard her arranging someone else again.

"Huh? I really can't believe that a low-level official wants to be the daughter of a minister."

The other person's voice sounded unfamiliar to her, maybe she was a girl from a family she wasn't familiar with in school.

The good mood that Wen had been in for a long time was completely ruined at this moment. There was not much left.

Anyone can say it, but Chen Shu, no!

"Is it just him? Is he worthy of being our husband?"

"If he doesn't deserve it, who does? Your useless eldest brother? Or your second brother who only eats, drinks, whores and gambles all day long?"

She pushed open the door of Liu Yue's room, and a piece of light leaked in from the door. Wen Jiu stood at the door against the light, his face gloomy.

"Who is it?" Liu Yue didn't react for a moment, only knowing that this person pushed in without knocking.

"The person who is causing trouble for you." Wen Jiu said in a deep voice. She glanced at the four people in the room, her eyes as sharp as blades.

"It's you again? Why are you the only one who likes to meddle in other people's business!" Liu Yue walked up to Wen Jiu angrily, with acrimony written on his face.

"Aren't you? You go around spreading rumors and causing trouble." Wen Jiu looked at her with disgust, "I'm really curious about how Yongning's Mansion taught a girl like you to speak so freely?"

"If it weren't for your two brothers, oh, and you, by the way." Wen Jiu raised his finger and pointed at Liu Yue's chest and said, "If it weren't for your good pregnancy, you wouldn't even know where you are now."

"It turns out that Miss Wen also knows that we were born differently. Even so, there shouldn't be a low-level official who has just been transferred to the capital to teach our princess, right? Who knows what his character is like."

Liu Yue looked disgusted, "He smells of poverty and sourness. I feel sick being in the same school with him."

"Liu Yue, today's emperors are all about selecting talents. How come you, Ms. Liu, choose your husband based on his family status? What's more, the two princesses have no objections, so what qualifications do you have to make irresponsible remarks here? ? A young lady from a declining uncle’s family, let’s see what you can do.”

"You!" Liu Yuegang wanted to retort, but he encountered Wen Jiu's eyes full of anger, and his whole body shivered.

"Miss Wen, Yue'er just feels that Mr. Chen has just arrived in the capital and is not as familiar as the adults from the Hanlin Academy. We are all girls who have not left the government and do not know Mr. Chen, so we are a little worried."

"Miss Zhang Er, you have always been better spoken than Miss Liu, and you have always been the most considerate of Miss Liu. However, Mr. Chen goes to court every day to discuss matters with the emperor. The emperor knows best about his character. Besides, this list of gentlemen has also been reviewed by the emperor. Miss Zhang Er What are you still worried about?"

"Miss Wen, it's just a joke between the daughter's family, don't be angry." Zhang Jin looked a little ugly, but he didn't know why Wen Jiu would attack them regardless.

"Miss Zhang Er, your daughter's family is joking about using her reputation as a scholar to spread rumors. You must know who wants to marry whom. Sometimes inaction is more terrible than action."

Wen Jiu sneered, raised his eyes again and glanced at the people in the room, "Since everyone is here to study, don't talk about others behind their backs, and don't listen to partial beliefs. If word spreads, it will be very harmful to the reputation of all girls. There is no benefit at all, don’t you think so?” Zhang Jin’s eyes were flat, and he could not see any anger.

The other three people in the room all lowered their heads, especially Liu Yue, who was afraid and hateful in his heart and did not dare to look directly into Wen Jiu's eyes.

The next morning, girls in different clothes were standing or sitting in the courtyard, holding books in their hands. At first glance, they were quite pleasing to the eye.

Today, Taifu Wen is teaching in person. No one dares to slack off. They all want to prepare early to avoid making mistakes and being punished.

Only Wen Jiu took the candy cake Zi Su had just bought from the market and ate it happily.

"How come the lights in Miss Wen's room were so dim last night?" Zhao Yan sat down next to Wen Jiu. Her room faced Wen Jiu's room and she could see clearly.

Wen Jiu spread out his right hand, and there were still some marks on his index and middle fingers. "Isn't this a penalty for copying all night? It's unspeakably painful."

She shook her head, looking heartbroken, "My father doesn't pity my daughter at all."

"I heard from my mother that you rarely go out because of your health. Don't worry, now that we are good friends, I can also do some boxing and kicking, and I will help you keep fit when I have time!"

Zhao Yan patted her shoulder and said generously.

Wen Jiu was stunned for a long time. As expected of the Queen of the Gate, she even brought the habit of training soldiers at home to the academy.
  "I made some snacks from home and brought them over. Everyone has a share. Let's try them together."

Zhang Jin came out of his room, and the maid behind him was carrying an exquisite food box, which contained these beautiful foods, which looked very tempting.

"Everyone is in luck today. The pastries made by Jin'er's family are among the best in the capital. It's not like some people who just get by with the things they buy at the market that can't be put on the table."

Liu Yue glanced at the oil paper bag in Wen Jiu's hand and simply sneered.

Wen Jiu seemed not to have heard. Is Liu Yue sick?

Everyone gathered around, whether they really wanted to eat or whether they agreed with Miss Zhang Er, they all chose a piece and started to taste it.

Zhang Jin took the food box from the maid's hand and walked up to Wen Jiu. "Miss Wen, do you want to try some? I made a portion for each of you."

Wen Jiu glanced at her, and Zhang Jin would retreat in order to advance. If he took it, he would be ridiculed by Liu Yue in vain. If he didn't take it, everyone would definitely say that she was ignorant, petty and vindictive.

To take it or not to take it?

Wen Jiu stretched out his hand, and Liu Yue raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He was indeed a sick man who had not been out for many years and had never seen the world.

The cake left the food box and fell to the ground in front of everyone. Wen Jiu's face was calm, as if he expected it.

"I'm sorry. I didn't catch it accidentally. I wasted your efforts. I'm a loser. Don't count me in next time."

After saying that, he picked up the oil paper bag again and took a bite in front of Zhang Jin. He nodded from time to time, with success in his eyes.
