Zhao Rurui couldn't help but glare at Zhao Jing'an.

Zhao Jingan didn't see it, but looked at Zhao Ruyu, waiting for Zhao Ruyu's answer.

"But... Fifth sister doesn't like me." Zhao Ruyu said frustratedly.

In fact, she also wanted to be friends with Zhao Ruxi. Ever since Princess Pingyang was removed from the management of the Capital Girls' Academy, she discovered with horror that the world was different from her previous life in many places. Although she didn't know how to do it.

Yes, but she believed that there must be Zhao Ruxi's handwriting in it.

This shows that Zhao Ruxi is very powerful now.

If she could make friends with Zhao Ruxi and hold her thigh, she would not be better in this life than in her previous life, at least she would not be worse than her previous life.

But she offended Zhao Ruxi first.

Zhao Ruxi had never been kind to her and was unwilling to pay attention to her. If she got close to her, in addition to humiliating herself, she might also annoy Zhao Ruxi and make Zhao Ruxi attack her.

She didn't need to do anything, she just needed to say a few words in front of Fu Yunkai, and maybe her marriage to Fu Yunlang would be ruined.

After talking to Zhao Ruxi last time, she still couldn't calm down and was still very scared.

Since her rebirth, her biggest reliance has been the experience of her previous life.

But if the plot doesn't follow the same pattern as in the previous life and has changed beyond recognition, what advantage can she have?

During this period, Zhao Ruxi also paid close attention to the political situation. Although she had no access to court affairs, Fu Yunlang would tell her something when she asked about it during a date, as long as it did not involve sensitive people or matters.

Especially in the case of the second prince, fifth prince, and Fu Yunkai, because of their close relationship with Fu Yunlang, Fu Yunlang had many opportunities to mention them.

Zhao Ruyu knew that once Zhao Ruxi wanted to change the political situation, or had a compassionate heart, she would definitely intervene in the war that took place this winter and save 100,000 border soldiers. By then, Fu Yunkai's fate of certain death would also change.

Unless Fu Yunkai dies, Fu Yunlang will not be able to inherit the title and will only be the second son of Pingnan Houfu forever. Even if she tries every possible means to marry Fu Yunlang, she can only be the second wife and never regain the glory she had in her previous life.

The most important thing is that in her previous life, Fu Yunlang became a Marquis, and she became Mrs. Hou, the mistress of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion. Fu Yunlang pampered her behind her back. She could also compete with her mother-in-law He in the ring without being rubbed by He.

It's too painful.

If Fu Yunkai marries a girl from an aristocratic family in this life, He will be afraid of his eldest daughter-in-law's family background and the status of Mrs. Ping Nanhou and will not dare to do anything to her. In the end, he will definitely point all the fingers at her.

By then, her life will be very difficult.

In her previous life, she had status and status, as well as her husband's favor, but what He did made her so uncomfortable; in this life, if she married Fu Yunlang and lost the glory of her previous life, why would she still have to suffer from He?

Should she...should look away from Fu Yunlang and look at other young talents?

With her past life experiences and memories, as long as she doesn't have high requirements for status, it's not difficult to find a man with good conduct and without a top-notch mother-in-law in his family.

With this thought, Zhao Ruyu's mind wandered far away, and he couldn't suppress it no matter how hard he tried.

Zhao Jingan was still there to enlighten Zhao Ruyu, but when he saw that she was in a daze and didn't seem to listen to him at all, he simply shut up and stopped talking.

Zhao Jingli glanced at the two of them, turned around and continued talking to Zhao Rurui about the topic just now: "... He is really a nice person, please think about it."

Zhao Rurui said with red eyes: "Brother, why? Why do I have to marry such a person? Look at my little aunt, how difficult her life is."

The Zhao family's sister-in-law was born as a concubine and married a scholar from the west of the city.

When she got married, Duke Sui had already passed away. Because treating Duke Sui had emptied the family fortune, the old lady could not use her own dowry to make a dowry for a concubine she didn't like, so the Zhao family's aunt-in-law did not have a rich dowry.

The family I married into was from a very average family background.

However, her husband's family has been in decline over the years. Although they have enough food and clothing, and there are three or four servants at home, they are still far behind Suiping's house.

My aunt-in-law is resentful towards her natal family and has not visited the Suiping residence unless necessary these years.

After hearing Zhao Rurui's words, Zhao Jingli's face turned ugly.

It's true that he is the eldest son of the second wife of the Zhao family, but he is only fifteen years old, younger than Zhao Rurui. He can arrange marriage arrangements for Zhao Rurui, and the candidates are carefully selected. His family background is not bad, he is very motivated, and he looks good.

, he had tried his best to arrange this condition for Zhao Rurui.

As a result, Zhao Rurui wiped out all his hard work during this period with such a light word. He didn't even have the interest to listen to what he said or learn more about the family.

He decided not to care about Zhao Rurui anymore.

Just let her stay at home.

…

Zhao Ruxi next "didn't hear anything outside the window, and only read the books of sages." Apart from reading, he taught painting and didn't worry about anything else.

Zhang Li's incident aroused her competitive spirit, and she wanted to get a good ranking in the next imperial examination.

Before you know it, April is here and the government examination begins.

The only female candidates taking the exam this time were Zhao Ruxi and two students from the Capital Girls' College.

If in the first round of the county examination, the two female students were still a little arrogant when they faced Zhao Ruxi, then this arrogance disappeared when Zhao Ruxi won the first place.

The turmoil over the county examination was so great that even Zhang Li was dismissed from office.

Although the court's external rhetoric was that Zhang Li was convicted and dismissed from office because he was exposed for something he had committed while serving as magistrate in the county, the public had different opinions. Many people privately felt that the emperor was responsible for Zhang Li's failure in the county examination.

He was dismissed from his position only if he was dissatisfied with his performance.

These two female students had also heard of these remarks. During this imperial examination, as soon as Zhao Ruxi entered the door, they both greeted her with a smile and looked extremely enthusiastic.

Zhao Ruxi smiled and nodded, then took out the Four Treasures of the Study, poured water and polished ink. She had no intention of chatting with them, so the two of them had no choice but to stop talking.

The format of the government examination is similar to that of the county examination. There are also three tests, which are divided into classics, essays, and policy theory, and are respectively tested on memorization, diction, and political views on current affairs. The first two tests are one day each, and the last test is two days in a row.

You have to spend the night in the examination room.

Of course, you can submit the papers in advance for the government examination. If you can finish the last test paper in one day, you can also take it in only one day.

The difference from the county examination is that the test papers of the government examination are anonymous. When handing in the paper, pull the small bell next to you, and two people will come over to verify your name, put the examination paper into a special box, and the candidate can leave.

However, although the name of the test paper is unknown, it is not copied. The marking officer not only looks at how well the article is written, but also whether the handwriting is neat and beautiful.
