Chapter 46: A Strange and Mysterious Exam
"The format of the exam is closed, divided into three sessions for a total of three days, and the specific exam venue will be announced later. In addition, please think carefully now, because once you take the exam of our Cangwu Women's Academy, you cannot withdraw halfway, and you will not be able to unify until the exam is over. Now you only get the questions for the first exam, and when you enter the exam venue, you will receive the questions for the second and third exams one after another. To tell you the truth, just like the first question you saw, the examination of the academy is not so good, if you can't afford to endure the hardships, I advise you to quit as soon as possible. ”
Master Yan turned around and exchanged glances with a few masters who were in charge of the final evaluation, turned around and said: "Okay, I've almost said what I should say, now you have any questions you want to ask me, or a few masters, the time is a stick of incense, after a stick of incense, you must give an answer whether to stay and take the exam, or quit now." ”
After speaking, he didn't look at the reaction below, and with a wave of his hand, someone lifted a desk and put it aside, and a copper stove was placed on the table, and a stick of incense was inserted in the copper stove.
Shen Junqian was stunned to see below, she was really resolute!
I don't know if it was because of the majesty of the masters or for what reason, but there was no sound at first. And after the Yan master finished speaking, he also took a step back and stood in a row with the masters without making a sound.
Seeing that the pillar of incense was burned almost halfway, and the little girls below were just you looking at me, I looking at you, Shen Jizhong said: "You don't have to be afraid, except for our two mountain chiefs who are not often in the academy on weekdays, these examiners will be one of your masters who enter the academy, and you can ask any questions." If you have already decided, please stand on the right if you choose to continue taking the test, and on the left if you choose to quit. ”
Probably Shen Jizhong said gently, and finally a bold little girl spoke up, "I want to ask, is Master Tong the lady of Tong Jinyun, who is known as 'Seamless Brocade in the Clouds'?" Shen Junqian turned his head to look at it, it was the round-faced little girl who saw the two female masters before, revealing a look of adoration.
Hearing someone ask, the Master Tong stepped forward and replied: "I am Tong Yunjin, but my embroidery skills are a few points more proficient than others, and I dare not bear the reputation of 'seamless'." If you can pass the guò academy exam, I will be responsible for teaching you needlework and female red in the future. After answering, he retreated.
When the round-faced little girl heard this, she immediately jumped up with excitement, and walked to the right very excitedly, "I want to continue to participate, Master Tong, I will definitely pass guò." Saying that, he didn't forget to look at Master Tong with a face full of admiration, probably because of this little girl's admiration and positivity that made people happy, and the Master Tong, who had always been indifferent, heard this, and the corners of his mouth were visibly hooked.
Xu is someone took the lead, and one after another people began to ask, and the people who were originally standing in the middle also stood on the right or left respectively, Shen Junqian looked at most of the people who still stood on the right, and there were only a few on the left.
Shen Junqian thought about it, and yes, although Master Yan said the situation very strictly, and the questions given now are indeed very strange, but after all, I have never seen any academy take exams like this, maybe, maybe, the master just said the next person, or this is the assessment, after all, the master of the academy will not really leave a group of ladies in a corner and don't ask.
Shen Junqian has nothing to ask, she has been cheated by her own father to this part, the assessment must be participated, just take the test, with her experience of living next to Shen Erye's snake spirit disease all the year round, coupled with the knowledge of one more life, there should be no problem in dealing with such an exam. Thinking about to walk to the right, I suddenly heard someone ask Master Yan a question.
Who is so strong to withstand the invisible pressure of Master Yan and ask him questions, so daring!
At first glance, it was actually the little girl who heard Master Yan's name and couldn't help but almost laugh out loud, this girl smiled and her eyes were like crescents, but she didn't expect that not only did she dare to ask a question that was sharp enough.
"Master Yan, I want to ask, is this really the topic of our first session?Fishing?" said Yang Yang with the envelope and white paper in his hand.
Master Yan did answer with a serious face, "Yes." ”
"We are taking the exam of the academy, shouldn't we learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, female red, this fishing, not only we can't learn it before, but we won't learn it in the future, right?"
"This question involves the confidentiality of the academy's exam, and some of the teaching content of the academy, so I can't tell you for the time being, but I can guarantee that every student who participates in this exam, regardless of whether they pass the exam in the end, will get the academy's answer to this question. ”
The little girl stared at Master Yan, then at the other masters, and asked without giving up, "Can't you say it now?"
Master Yan just looked at her and shook his head firmly.
"Okay!" Seeing that Master Yan really couldn't ask anything, the little girl seemed to give up and walked to the right. Shen Junqian didn't delay any longer, and walked directly to the right to stand still.
In the end, after everyone had chosen, Master Yan took back the envelopes and the paper with the questions written on them in the hands of the girls who had given up the exam, and warned everyone that the questions could not be leaked for the time being, so he asked them to leave.
Those who chose to take the exam were divided into six people in a carriage and got into the carriage.
I don't know if it's fate, among the other five people who were assigned to a carriage with Shen Junqian, one was the little girl with a round face, and the other was the little girl with a crescent moon when she smiled and her eyes were like crescents.
As soon as I got into the carriage, it didn't take long for the carriage to start moving, and I didn't know exactly where it was going.
At first, although the girls looked at the others with some curiosity, no one spoke, and they didn't move. Shen Junqian looked at everyone and didn't know whether to speak or not, hesitated, and sat quietly. The others could still sit still, but the round-faced little girl began to sit still after a while, first looking around the carriage, and then lifting the curtain of the carriage window and looking out.
"Wow, there are so many cars out there!" suddenly heard the little girl exclaim.
The little girls in the car were only a few years old, and they could still sit for a while, and they all looked out. Until they saw that Master Yan seemed to be riding a horse and looked at them. A group of talents foolishly lowered the curtain of the car window.
"Master Yan looks so scary!" said the round-faced little girl, patting her chest, in shock.
"yes, yes, I'm so scared when I see him, I feel better than my father. ”
"Me too, I don't even dare to look at him. ”
......
The topic of Master Yan aroused the unanimous interest of this group of little girls, and they couldn't help but complain. Probably because of the relationship between Master Yan, everyone is familiar with it, and Shen Junqian finally knew that the round-faced little girl was called Guo Baobao, who was eight years old this year, and the crescent girl was called Zhang Xiaohe, who was seven years old this year. After asking, I found out that Shen Junqian was six years old alone, most of the others were seven or eight years old, and one was already nine years old.
Shen Junqian thought about it and understood, whether it was Cangwu Academy or Cangwu Women's Academy, it was actually the Shen family's academy, not to mention that the Cangwu Women's Academy was originally the inner school of the Shen family's girls, so the Shen family stipulated that no matter how young master and girl were six years old, they must be enrolled, this is the ancestral rule, naturally no one refutes it, and if you go to your own academy, you don't have to worry about anything. And others are different, after all, they are all pampered at home, where would the parents who love them be willing to let their children leave their side at such a young age, so they are basically older than Shen Junqian.
About half an hour later, the carriage suddenly stopped, and then the sound of everyone getting off the carriage was heard.
Probably considering that everyone is not very old, each car has arranged a grandmother with two maids to take care of it, and the grandmother who has not yet gotten off each car will take the maid to serve a few people to get off the car.
Shen Junqian got out of the car and saw that it was a big yard, and he didn't know where it was, but thinking that it was only half an hour's drive, it shouldn't be particularly far. After everyone got out of the car, Master Yan appeared in the courtyard again and called everyone to gather.
"From now on, the exam has begun, and the six of you are in one room these days, according to the combination of your car just now. Remember, there's no such thing as quitting here, and you have to wait until the end of the three days before you can leave. The topic is fishing, and we don't care how you want to catch it, as long as you can hand over the fish to me at the end. The fishing location is this Grange, and you can fish in that area of the Grange as you like. Each of you will be accompanied by two guards and a maid, who will only be responsible for your safety and will not help you in any way. Once you follow the guards and maids around you to help you take the exam, you will be deemed to have automatically given up the exam. Alright, you can go to your rooms and rest for now, and someone will let you know when it's time to eat. After speaking, he didn't care about the expression of the little girl below, and walked straight away.
Shen Junqian was originally going back to the room, but Guo Baobao pulled Zhang Xiaohe and invited her to go to the Grange to have a look. Shen Junqian thought about it and thought it was okay, but he didn't know what this grange looked like, so he walked out of the yard with the two of them.
Although the courtyard was guarded, there was no restriction on the entry and exit of the little girls, and as soon as they walked out, Shen Junqian looked back and saw that there were guards and maids following behind them without saying a word.
Maybe Shen Junqian originally had a good impression of Guo Baobao and Zhang Xiaohe, although they were six people in a car, in the end, Shen Junqian was only more familiar with the two of them and could talk better. It's just that Shen Junqian said that his name was Junqian, but he didn't reveal his surname Shen.
"Don't you think this exam is weird?" Guo Baobao is a character who can't hide his words, and asked immediately.
Shen Junqian nodded, it was indeed very strange, she suspected at first that it was her second-hand father, but when she saw Shen Jizhong, the uncle of the Shen family, when she introduced her master, she knew that it should not be his father's handiwork, and his father's nerves were basically not in front of his eldest brother. It should be the exam question of the Cangwu Women's Academy, but it is really incredible that a girls' academy has such a question, and mysteriously does not let them bring the maids to this unknown grange.
Zhang Xiaohe pondered for a while, and said hesitantly: "Actually, I may know a little about the Cangwu Women's Academy's exam. ”
Shen Junqian and Guo Baobao immediately looked over in surprise, and Guo Baobao immediately shouted: "Really? Really?
Shen Junqian was also very curious, saying that she, a serious descendant of the Shen family, didn't know, and was thrown to take the exam like others. In other words, she is also quite sad, because the girls of the Shen family were directly enrolled in the school before, but her father insisted that it was because the assessment of the girls' academy only started the year before last, and the girls in front did not catch up.
Zhang Xiaohe saw the two partners looking at her with a look of surprise and excitement, and suddenly had no confidence, and whispered: "Actually, I don't know, but my sister in my family has participated in the previous assessment and passed the guò, and only vaguely told me that the academy will test whatever the test says, and we will do what they ask, as long as we keep our hearts, we will pass the guò in the end." ”
Guo Baobao frowned when he heard this, "What is this talking about, why can't I understand it?"
Zhang Xiaohe's face blushed when he heard this, and said, "Actually, I don't know much either, anyway, we just come according to the requirements of the academy, and they let us fish, so let's go fishing." ”
Shen Junqian actually vaguely understood a little, and said: "Yes, I can't figure it out first, let's go and see what the Grange looks like?"
Shen Junqian and the others lived in a courtyard relatively close to the inside, a little far from the gate, and only then did they walk to the gate, and suddenly heard a noisy sound outside.
