Chapter 74

74: Riding and Archery

The day of the music examination ended with everyone's sighs.

No matter what, the song that Jiang Lisa played today, 《Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute》, had become the hot topic everyone in Yanjing were discussing. As for the doubt from the previous three exams, it dissipated in a moment. In addition, Jiang Lisa's display of qin skill made many people begin to re-examine the bet between Jiang second miss and the daughter of the Meng family. So much so that In the gambling den, a portion of the people started to bet on Jiang Lisa's victory.

These changes were bit by bit but persistent. It seemed that overnight, everyone reached a consensus: Jiang Lisa wasn't worse compared to the other noble daughters in Yanjing.

This was naturally a good transformation for Jiang Lisa, but not for some people. Not mentioning the other female students of Ming Yi Hall that were stepped on, even the other party making the wager, Meng Hong Jin, wasn't able to sit still at the moment.

Meng family, Meng You De had not yet returned to the residence and mother Meng was sitting in the living room moaning and groaning. Meng Hong Jin shut herself in her boudoir, in a fit of anger she overthrew all the papers and pens on the table. Her face looked irritable, and with a careful look, there was a trace of fear inside.

Without realizing, things had already reached this degree. As Meng Hong Jin remembered, she still felt everything was just like a dream. She still did not understand how a sure matter could now turn into the current situation. She heard the private chat of the people below, regarding the bet between her and Jiang Lisa, nowadays there were people in major gambling dens who started to bet on Jiang Lisa. What did this imply? This implied that at the very least, in the eyes of people outside, there's a probability that she would lose to Jiang Lisa.

In fact, it's not just people outside that thought so, even Meng Hong Jin thought the same. The confidence at the beginning had long ago vanished. Meng Hong Jin realized that she was probably deceived by Jiang Lisa. The so-called inability to do anything, unable to understand a word, was nothing but false words Jiang Lisa weaved to deceive her. Probably Jiang Lisa had the thought of making her lose face from the start, then dug a trap and indirectly forced herself to jump in. When in actuality, Jiang Lisa knew everything.

But the words were already spoken, the entire Yanjing already knew the bet between Jiang Lisa and her. Wanting to revoke the bet now was too late.

The servant girl beside her consoled: "Miss doesn't need to be too anxious. Tomorrow's exam is the two things miss is an expert in, equestrian archery. As long as the first position is grasped in these two things, the Jiang family's miss will no longer be the first."

"Not being the first, I will still lose." Meng Hong Jin said coldly. In Jiang Lisa's wager, if Jiang Lisa wasn't at the bottom of Ming Yi Hall's list, she had to kneel and apologize to her. If Jiang Lisa was more outstanding than her, she had to kneel and apologize to Jiang Lisa at the Imperial College's gate. If Jiang Lisa was not just more outstanding than her, but still placed first in the exams, she had to take off her outer layer of clothing and apologize to her in the Imperial College gate.

Three gambles, each one was more malicious than the other. Currently Jiang Lisa was placed first in the four exams, she was naturally not placed at the bottom. Not only that, Jiang Lisa was clearly more outstanding than her. Even if she got first place in equestrian archery, at most Jiang Lisa wouldn't be able to win first place. According to the bet, Meng Hong Jin still had to kneel and apologize to Jiang Lisa at the Imperial College's gate.

No matter what, Meng Hong Jin was unable to accept that she would end up in that sort of circumstances.

If she didn't want her reputation to reach the bottom, she had to quickly look for a reason to renege on the wager. If this happened, then she wouldn't become the laughingstock in the entire Yanjing.
