A Genius in a Second to Remember Love? To provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Life in ancient times was actually quite boring. If Liu She hadn't given Jiang Pengji such a test, she would have been bored to death. In such a state of idleness, she began to particularly miss the days when she had to put her head on a belt.
The System despised her. "I thought the host would regain the skills from your previous life and become a Vajra Barbie or something …"
Jiang Pengji said matter-of-factly, "This body is too weak to withstand that level of training, and it will make people around me suspicious … I have a thorough plan, and I need a reasonable time. Now is not the time …"
How could she forget the incident with the bandits in Hejian County?
She didn't want to try the feeling of powerlessness a second time.
But she also knew that the genes of this body were not good enough, and the overall quality was also not good enough. Under such circumstances, no matter how much she trained, it would only slightly increase her strength. The effort and the gain were completely disproportionate. She would only do that if she was out of her mind.
There was obviously a safer way, so of course she wouldn't choose the one that was far away.
Moreover … "Even now, there are not many people who can defeat me, right?"
Most people who saw her would think that she was a thin young man. With her age and figure, how much damage could she do?
In fact, her strength was higher than that of a strong adult man. Coupled with her rich combat experience, she was simply a human-shaped killing machine.
Her current life was stable, and her strength was enough to protect herself. As for the rest … She already had a plan in her mind.
The System snorted. "It's so boring to follow a host like you — it feels like there's no use at all!"
It was a system that broadcast palace intrigue. All kinds of beauties fighting and scheming against each other were the mainstream. How could it be like Jiang Pengji?
"You're useless, trash System!" Jiang Pengji mercilessly attacked it, but there was always a smile at the corner of her mouth.
The System coldly dragged out its voice and fiercely typed four words. "… Blue skinny mushroom qaq."
Jiang Pengji: "…"
In the eyes of an outsider, Jiang Pengji was sitting in the corridor, leaning against the table. She supported her chin with one hand and held a scroll with the other. She always had a gentle smile at the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were charming. The spring breeze blew her hair, and the pear blossoms in the courtyard swayed with it.
Seeing this, Xu Ke, who was guarding at the side, secretly turned his head, feeling a little surprised.
If this Langjun was less heroic, he would be as pretty as a girl.
Of course, it was just a likeness. Anyway, Xu Ke couldn't imagine a girl with such a black heart and such a vile character … It was simply a nightmare!
Even though he was unhappy, Xu Ke didn't dare to show it. In his eyes, Jiang Pengji wasn't scary. What was scary was his father, who was above her. Even though it had been two or three days, he still felt a chill in his body every night.
Once he fell asleep, the room would be pitch-black, and he would think of that pair of eyes that seemed to be dipped in poison, scaring him so much that he wanted to have nightmares.
Of course, the truth would prove how silly he was.
At most, Liu She would torture people, but she would make them wish they were dead!
"What happened, Taxue?"
Jiang Pengji turned her head and looked at the corner of the corridor. Xu Ke, who was closest to her, did not react at all.
The maidservant, Taxue, respectfully handed over an invitation card. She took it, and a delicate fragrance came from the letter. It smelled very good.
"An assembly? The Wei's … "There were two cards in total. One was written, and the other was tucked inside. The handwriting was gentle and graceful, and it was very pleasing to the eye. It was Wei Jingxian's handwriting." I'm not interested in that … "
She was proficient in fighting and surviving in the wild, but she had no idea how to recite poetry.
As a science monk who loved machinery, she was considered illiterate. Her motto was "If you're not convinced, come fight me." That was how hooligan she was.
Even the former Liu Lanting was bad at poetry. She was often praised by the previous teachers as the work of a craftsman.
Taxue was stunned. She didn't expect Jiang Pengji to reject her. She stood rooted to the ground.
Xunmei added awkwardly, "But it's a personal invitation from Wei Niangzi. If I reject it, I'm afraid …"
Wei Jingxian was his fiancée in name. What was the difference between rejecting a personal invitation and a slap in the face?
Jiang Pengji read Xunmei's unfinished words and helplessly looked up at the sky in the courtyard.
The sky was clear, and it was the perfect weather to go out.
Xu Ke frowned and asked in a low voice, "This is a gathering, not a feud. How can it be the world's invitation?"
Usually, invitations were sent a few days in advance to give the invitees enough time to prepare. This invitation was sent in the afternoon!
Jiang Pengji said carelessly, "You're a young lady. Men can't understand your temper. You have to tolerate it."
After that incident, she had offended more than half of the noble ladies in Hejian County. It was normal for her to be bullied.
Xu Ke was speechless.
She made it sound like he had no bearing!
Jiang Pengji played with the sandalwood fan in her hand. She ordered the maids to prepare suitable clothes. She was ready to leave for the gathering.
"This weather is actually more suitable for sleeping," Jiang Pengji said to the audience. Jiang Pengji said to the audience, "Sleepy in spring, sleepy in autumn, sleepy in summer, and sleepless in winter in March. It's a good time to sleep all year round. I'd be crazy to waste it on a boring poetry meeting."
Jiang Pengji always had a lazy look on her face. She leaned against the table and looked like a sleeping beauty.
The gathering was held by the Wei's at the Yishui River outside the city. It would take about an hour for the carriage to get there.
Apart from the driver, Jiang Pengji only brought a maid and Xu Ke, who was not very good at fighting.
Jiang Pengji brought Xu Ke with her for a reason.
His father, Liu She, seemed to care a lot about Xu Ke. He even tested him on his studies. His attitude was more like a student than a servant.
According to the rules of that era, it was a bit whimsical. Xu Ke not only had a criminal record, but he was also a slave who had been branded. His social status was lower than that of a commoner. No matter how talented he was, he would not be valued by someone like Liu She.
But … thinking about Liu She's unconventional and open style, she was not sure what he was thinking.
Putting Liu She aside, she had been observing Xu Ke for the past few days. Indeed, she was tempted.
Of course, it had nothing to do with romantic feelings. She simply felt that if he was trained well, he might be a good assistant.
Xu Ke was a standard talent for internal affairs. He was quick-witted and resourceful. If it was in her world, he might be recruited as an assistant in the army and help her deal with all kinds of messy documents. But now?
His temperament was a bit uncertain. He needed to be trained. She would keep him for now. If it was possible, she would use him.
As she thought about it, they arrived at the gathering. From afar, they could see a circle of servants and carriages.
"Once bitten, twice shy. It seems that he was frightened by what happened before …"
Seeing the formation, Jiang Pengji got out of the carriage. Her wooden clogs clattered on the stones.
