Farmer girl swaps husbands: buys a sickly villain and pampers him

Chapter 47 Reading
Academy, wing room. Xiao Yanci handed the sesame seed cake he bought to Jiang Yihui.

Jiang Yihui was racking his brains to write something and did not take the pancake he handed to him.

Xiao Yanci maintained that posture for a long time, until his arms were shaking constantly. Only then did Jiang Yihui put down the brush in his hand and take the thing he handed over.

"My writing is too messy, can you please rewrite it for me?" Jiang Yihui ordered while chewing on a sesame seed bun. "Why is it cold? How do you do it?"

Xiao Yanci lowered his eyes and said, "I know I was wrong."

"Clumsy." Jiang Yihui said, looking at the poem Xiao Yanci copied.

Although it was copied, the handwriting was exactly the same as what he wrote, except that the content was slightly modified.

Of course, only two or three words were changed.

However, it was these two or three words that completely changed the mood of the entire poem.

A look of jealousy flashed in Jiang Yihui's eyes.

Recently, his studies have always been praised by the teacher. Everyone thinks that he has suddenly become enlightened, but only he knows that it is because of this person.

He couldn't bear to accept those praising looks, so he had to go along with it and keep him by his side to make himself look presentable.

However, the better he performed, the more unhappy he felt.

How could a slave possess such a remarkable talent? No matter how talented he was, he still had to serve him.

"Brother Jiang..." a classmate's voice came from outside, "It's time for class, it's time to go."

"coming."

Jiang Yihui munched on the pancake, finishing it in no time. He snatched the poem from Xiao Yanci's hand, tucked it into his book, and left.

He walked to the door and saw Xiao Yanci walking slowly, so he urged him impatiently: "Hurry up."

When the two passed by the teacher's room, they happened to meet Su Yaoguang and her daughter coming out.

Su Yaoguang looked up and saw Xiao Yanci. He was wearing a servant's clothes and holding Jiang Yihui's bookcase in his hand. A look of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Yanci didn't miss the change in Su Yaoguang's eyes. This village girl always had an inexplicable malice towards him, even though he had no idea where it came from.

Why is she here?

This is a college. A woman like her appears here. It's impossible that she wants to study, right?
"Hurry up, what are you standing there for?" Jiang Yihui urged impatiently when he saw Xiao Yanci didn't catch up.

Jiang Yihui and Xiao Yanci entered the classroom. Jiang Yihui sat down, while Xiao Yanci could only stand in the corner.

Jiang Yihui had just sat down when the classmate in front of him turned to look at him and asked, "Brother Jiang, yesterday's question was really difficult. How did you answer it? Can I borrow it to see?"

"I just answered casually," Jiang Yihui said. "Brother Wang is very knowledgeable, so he must be able to answer much better than me."

The teacher came in, and everyone sat up straight, and the whole classroom fell into silence.

"There is a new classmate here today. We should get along well with each other and help each other in the future. Zhou Wangshu, come in!" The teacher looked towards the door.

Zhou Wangshu wore a green shirt like other students in the academy, but his outstanding appearance made the shirt look more noble, and he looked like a god who had descended to earth.

Everyone in the audience was stunned.

With this appearance, even the top courtesan would be inferior to her.

Previously, they had thought Jiang Yihui's servant was handsome and elegant. But when this man appeared today, his appearance seemed a little dull. "Zhou Wangshu, you and Zhong Chushan should sit down!"

Zhou Wangshu took the newly issued book and walked towards the last empty seat. Xiao Yanci was standing behind that seat. He could see Xiao Yanci standing there with his head down and obediently lowered just by turning his head.

Xiao Yanci clutched the corner of his clothes and lowered his eyes to hide his unwilling look.

They were obviously bought by people from the same village on the same day, so why was he a slave while that person could sit in the academy and study with dignity?

Isn't that village girl so poor that she can barely afford to eat? In such a poor situation, how could she be willing to spend such money?

"Brother Zhou, my name is Chen Buyu. I have an empty bed in my room. Would you like to stay there?"

"I don't know. The teacher hasn't made any arrangements yet. He said he'll arrange accommodations around noon." Zhou Wangshu bowed. "I'm new here and don't know anything. I'd appreciate any guidance, Brother Chen."

"You want him, a student who is at the bottom of the class, to teach you? Then your studies will be in vain, and your tuition will be in vain." Zhong Chushan said lazily.

"Zhong Chushan, what qualifications do you have to criticize me? I am the second to last, and you are the last." Chen Buyu said dissatisfiedly.

"I didn't think of giving advice to others. What does it matter if I ranked last in the exam?" Zhong Chushan yawned and stood up to leave.

"The next class is chess, are you running away again?"

"What's the point of that?" Zhong Chushan said, looking at Zhou Wangshu next to him, "Do you want to come play with me? I have plenty of money, I'll pay for it all."

Zhou Wangshu showed a well-behaved and honest expression, shook his head, and said very sincerely: "My family has worked hard to support my education. This opportunity to study is rare, and I cannot let them down."

"Another boring person." Zhong Chushan said and strode away.

Chen Buyu said from the side, "Don't pay attention to him. His family owns a gambling house. If you go with him, he'll take you there to gamble. You can't go to a gambling house. You've seen gamblers get their hands and feet chopped off, and their lives are ruined."

Jiang Yihui scoffed, "Why don't you talk about your family's business? Zhong Chushan's gambling house is not allowed, but yours is? Then why don't you invite him to go!"

Chen Buyu glared at Jiang Yihui angrily: "I didn't talk to you."

Zhou Wangshu said, "Brother Chen is obviously a straightforward person. I'm not good at socializing and it's hard for me to make friends. I'm very happy that Brother Chen is willing to talk to me."

Chen Buyu couldn't help but feel happy when he saw that Zhou Wangshu didn't distance himself from him like others did.

Zhou Wangshu was wrong. If anyone was struggling to find friends, he should be the one. His family's business wasn't exactly savory, and his classmates at the academy deliberately distanced themselves from him.

Seeing that Zhou Wangshu had made friends with several people in a short period of time, and those people were all poor students, Xiao Yanci's eyes flashed with disdain.

When making friends in the academy, one should make friends who will be useful for one's future career. Someone with such poor academic performance will never pass the imperial examinations. This person is truly stupid.

Ever since Zhou Wangshu appeared, Xiao Yanci had been observing his every move uncontrollably.

My chess skills are average. My homework is average. My piano skills are poor.

"What are you daydreaming about?" Jiang Yihui slammed the table and said unhappily, "Ever since that Zhou Wangshu showed up, you've been staring at him. Do you know him?"

"Sir, didn't you recognize him?" Xiao Yanci was surprised. "He's the son-in-law that the Su family bought for ten cents."

Jiang Yihui was surprised: "It's him!"

Before long, the news that Zhou Wangshu was a live-in son-in-law bought by a village girl for ten cents spread throughout the academy. Those who had originally wanted to befriend Zhou Wangshu avoided him. Only Zhong Chushan and Chen Buyu looked at him strangely after hearing the news, but they still talked to him and invited him to dinner.
