Chapter 160 The Resentful Fiancé in the Academy 2
After reminiscing, this matter is simple. She simply doesn't go to the academy. Then there will be no twists and turns and she can just marry Pei Shuchen directly, right?
But to be hastily arranged to marry like this without any resistance was totally out of character.
Besides, it was really boring to stay at home. Although I went out to play every day, I just went to the teahouse to listen to music, or listen to storytellers telling old stories that they had heard too many times before.
It’s good to go to the academy, there are many people and it’s fun!
Jiang Wan maintained her original bad temper, and was unwilling to give in no matter how Mrs. Jiang tried to dissuade her. It was not until Mr. Jiang played his trump card and wanted to send her to the academy that Jiang Wan finally gave in.
"Dad, I heard that the headmaster of Huaqing Academy can't stand people who are obsessed with money, so don't flatter him!"
Hearing Jiang Wan's heroic words, Master Jiang scolded her before he had time to think carefully about what she said: "What are you talking about? Are these dirty words supposed to come out of a girl like you?"
Jiang Wan pursed his lips, as if he didn't hear anything at all. Anyway, Uncle Jiang had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and the words he said were no different from decoration.
But Jiang Wan's words did work. Originally, Mr. Jiang had a simple idea. He just wanted to spend money to get his daughter into the academy, so he just went to find the biggest manager of Huaqing Academy. Now, after Jiang Wan's reminder, he specially sent people to inquire around and understand the character of the president and teachers of Huaqing Academy.
As expected, it was no secret that the president of Huaqing Academy hated evil and was incorruptible, so Mr. Jiang had to settle for the second best and spent ten thousand taels of silver on Master Zhou.
The Zhou family is a prominent family, and it is said that some of their family members are officials in the capital. Although Master Zhou is only from a side branch, in Huaqing Academy, he is a person whom even the president has to give way to.
He is a different person. He just loves to collect money. The moment Mr. Jiang saw him, he felt a kindred spirit coming towards him. At that moment, he knew he had found the right person.
Master Zhou looked Jiang Wan up and down, trying his best to remember her appearance in his mind. After waving his hand to let the servant take the silver, he patted his chest and assured Master Jiang that there would be absolutely no problem handing the person over to him!
Half a month later, Jiang Wan embarked on the journey of studying.
In the original plot, in order to keep herself low-key and inconspicuous, the original owner only brought the smart and lively Pinyue, and Qianyun, who could protect herself but was dull and inflexible, was left at home by her.
But who would have known that, precisely because she was too smart and lively, Pinyue's personality was as lively as hers. Originally, she was able to walk with Sheng Huaian, and she had to contribute at least half of the assists.
This time, Jiang Wan simply brought both of them along. She herself was dressed as a scholar, while Pinyue Qianyun and the other two were dressed as servants.
Anyway, she is a relative, so what's wrong with being a little conspicuous?
When they reached the foot of the mountain of Huaqing Academy, the carriage could no longer move forward and the students had to climb up the mountain by themselves.
Jiang Wan swiftly got off the carriage, and Pinyue, the actor who was following him, immediately clapped and cheered. But before Jiang Wan could immerse himself in it and enjoy it properly, an inappropriate chuckle came from behind him.
Jiang Wan frowned and rolled his eyes to see who was so blind, but he didn't expect that when he turned around, he saw an extremely handsome young man. He was wearing the same clothes as others, and the others looked a little plain, but he looked so elegant.
Now, he was squinting his eyes and looking at Jiang Wan. There was a hint of amusement and inquiry in his eyes. He looked at her for a long while before he put his folding fan to his lips and smiled.
The original body thought that Pei Shuchen was also forced to get married by his family, but she didn't know that he had been secretly observing her for a long time. It was because of his love for her that prompted his parents to come to the academy to propose marriage, so even if she came to the academy disguised as a man, he still recognized her at a glance.
Only the original body was stupid enough to think that his disguise was flawless.
Now, Jiang Wan also pretended to be ignorant, crossed his arms and looked at him with a bad face, "Were you making fun of me just now?"
Jiang Wan thought her expression was extremely ferocious, but Pei Shuchen still smiled at her, as if he didn't feel the threat or choking in her words at all.
"You can still laugh at this time? Am I so funny?" Jiang Wan frowned, his face full of anger.
But who would have thought that this scene seemed to amuse Pei Shuchen, and he laughed out loud without disguising it. Seeing that Jiang Wan was about to explode, Pei Shuchen hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean to make fun of you, brother. I just thought of something extremely funny, so I couldn't help laughing."
"Extremely funny things? How funny is it?" Jiang Wan said with a cold face, "If you can't explain it today, this young master will not forgive you!"
As Jiang Wan was speaking, Pinyue behind him also pinched her waist in a pretentious manner and looked at Pei Shuchen with a bad face.
Seeing that she was really angry, Pei Shuchen had to explain seriously and told a random joke, successfully smoothing over the matter.
Meeting is fate. Both of them were freshmen in the academy. Pei Shuchen warmly invited Jiang Wan to go with him. After a few visits, Jiang Wan gradually became familiar with him and forgot the unpleasantness just now.
The closer they got to the academy, the more students there were. Jiang Wan looked around the crowd, leaned close to Pei Shuchen and whispered, "I've talked with you and found that you're very knowledgeable. I wonder if you know someone named Pei Shuchen?"
Pei Shuchen paused when he heard his name unexpectedly, "What do you want to see him for?"
Jiang Wan sighed faintly, "Brother, you don't know that Pei Shuchen and I have a grudge. If you let me know who he is in advance, I can stay away from him later."
Pei Shuchen's face darkened, as if he didn't expect Jiang Wan to say that. He opened his thin lips and said slowly, "Brother, do you hate Pei Shuchen so much? I wonder how he has offended you? As far as I know, Master Pei is a man of integrity and uprightness, not like a mean person. Maybe there is some misunderstanding here."
Jiang Wan naturally couldn't tell the whole truth, so he could only cover it up and say, "Anyway, I just have a grudge against him, there is no misunderstanding! Since you know him, just help me point out Pei Shuchen, and don't worry about the rest!"
After saying that, Jiang Wan seemed unwilling to talk to him any more, so he grabbed his sleeve and walked quickly towards the academy.
But in a place where she couldn't see, Pei Shuchen's eyes dimmed slightly, and the good mood he had just had when he saw her was gone.
He didn't expect Jiang Wan to hate him so much. She came to Huaqing Academy this time not because she was curious about her fiancé, but to find a chance to cancel the marriage. The joy of successfully making the engagement was completely dispersed, and he had to accept the fact that Jiang Wan didn't want to marry him...
But after only a moment of depression, Pei Shuchen cheered up again. Who is he? He is Pei Shuchen, how could he be hit by such a small matter? His love for Jiang Wan can withstand any test. How can it be proved that he lost before the last moment?
Sooner or later, he will make Jiang Wan fall in love with him!
