After coming out of Kun Courtyard, Yu Nianniang went to the Hexagram Museum. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The hexagram hall was quiet, Mother Sun sat boredly inside, and when she saw the old man Sun driving the carriage over, she immediately greeted her happily, Linglong lifted the curtain of the car, and Mother Sun carefully helped Yu Nianniang get out of the carriage and reported to her: "No one came to the door." ā
Yu Nianniang sat down in the rest area, and Mother Sun immediately poured a cup of hot tea and said with a smile: "Knowing that the girl will come back soon, the tea slave has been prepared." ā
"Mom is thoughtful." Yu Nianniang said with a smile, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, the tea taste was light, the aroma was insufficient, she said: "Tomorrow I will bring that bag of Tieguanyin." ā
She's coming here every day anyway.
"Is it the bag given by the prince?" Mother Sun asked.
Yu Nianniang nodded.
Linglong had already taken out the pen and paper and prepared it, and Mother Sun looked at it curiously: "What does the girl want to write?" ā
"The girl has to do the test." Linglong said, and told Mother Sun about Yu Nianniang's test questions.
Mother Sun sighed: "This Tiandao Academy is really different, not only does the imperial examination have a strict time, the place regulations, and candidates are not allowed to go out during the examination, so strict, but the examination of the Kun Academy is so easy!" ā
"The content of the test is different, the involvement is different, and of course the entrance method can be diversified!" Yu Nianniang said.
"That's what the girl said." Mother Sun immediately smiled and agreed.
The two stood aside and waited, not daring to disturb Yu Nianniang again.
Qingming Festival is one of the 24 solar terms, the fifteenth day after the vernal equinox. Dou Zhi Ding, for the clear light, according to the astrological movement (the Big Dipper points to the direction of Ding).
And the Cold Food Festival is two or three days before the Qingming Festival. It won't be long after March 3 this year to be the Qingming Festival, and naturally this cold food festival is coming.
Therefore, she only needs to calculate which day has the best weather among the days of the Cold Food Festival and set the date.
Yu Nianniang took out a piece of paper, and after drawing on it for a while, she calculated that the weather was the best two days before Qingming.
The next step is the location, which is based on the location of the Winter Food Festival in previous years.
She is not in the General's Mansion now, and there is no way to ask Wei Qiyu about it, after thinking about it, Yu Nianniang called Linglong over: "Go to the ink incense shop next door, find their shopkeeper, and say that I am looking for the prince." ā
"Yes." Linglong turned around and walked out of the hexagram photo gallery, and came back after a while: "I said that the girl was looking for the prince, but the shopkeeper still didn't believe it, and was surprised for a long ......time."
After a while, Eleven came.
"Childe is not here, I don't know what happened to Miss Yu?"
Yu Nianniang felt that since Eleven was Chi Langyi's personal guard, she must know it, so she said the question of the Cold Food Festival.
"So that's it!" Eleven smiled and said, "Every year the Cold Food Festival is held in the palace. Depending on the content of the event, the venue of the event will be different. ā
"There are many activities in the Winter Food Festival, and there are only a few kinds of activities held in the palace: juju ball, poetry, playing the piano, painting, and erecting swings. In addition, the emperor will give a banquet! ā
"The girl also participated in Taiyuan Mansion when she was in Taiyuan Mansion, and there are a few other things to say, but what does this vertical swing mean?" Linglong said curiously.
Eleven smiled: "Actually, the vertical swing is to set up a swing in the Linxi Pavilion for the girls from various provinces to play!" ā
The three of them looked understanding.
"As for the specific location, the banquet is in the Baohe Palace; Poetry, playing the piano, and painting are in the square outside the Taihe Palace, north of the Jinshui Bridge; And Keju is just south of the Jinshui Bridge; The flowers are viewed in the small square in front of the Cining Garden, and the swing is in the Linxi Pavilion next to the small square, enter through the right wing door, outside the Hongyi Pavilion. ā
"Is it like that every year?" Yu Nianniang asked.
"Yes." Eleven nodded.
Therefore, this is a scoring question, and what really needs to test them is the banquet ranking later.
So, how is this feast arranged?
It must be the emperor and empress sitting in the middle of the front, and the princes, ministers, and family members are sitting in a row on both sides below. If you want to use metaphysics, it should still be based on the emperor and queen, and the direction is naturally the direction of the Baohe Palace. It's just that everyone's seats are going to be changed.
"I'm afraid I have to ask the prince for a favor." Yu Nianniang gave a blessing and looked at Eleven with a smile.
Eleven hurriedly turned sideways and gave his hand to the side: "Girl, please speak." ā
"Trouble the prince to help me count the ministers of the court and their families in the palace, as long as they can enter the palace, which year they were born."
"Huh?" Eleven looked blank: "What do you want to do with this?" ā
Yu Nianniang gave him a reassuring look: "This is just a Kunyuan entrance exam question, it doesn't need to be too precise, it only needs to be age, as for when and when you were born, you don't need it." ā
In ancient times, people were very taboo about their birthdays, and they didn't easily let people know the exact time.
"That's right." After understanding, Eleven breathed a sigh of relief and immediately assured Yu Nianniang: "Girl, please rest assured, I don't know when Miss Yu will want it." ā
"The sooner the better."
"Tomorrow morning, then."
"Good!"
I didn't wait until the next morning, but came at eleven in the afternoon.
"Every person in each house on it, as long as they can enter the palace, it is written, Miss Yu will see if there is anything missing?"
Yu Nianniang unexpectedly took the paper and opened it, and there were two large articles densely written on it.
Thank you to Eleven: "...... It's fast! ā
Eleven scratched his head embarrassedly: "I will not be able to send it to the girl tomorrow, but the prince has always remembered well, but those female dependents took some time to inquire, otherwise, Xiang Wu could send it to the girl." ā
Surprise flashed on Yu Nianniang's face, she didn't expect it to be written by Chi Langyi, she looked at the paper again, the font was sonorous and powerful, the pen was smooth and crisp, and the turning point was smooth and flexible. Just like others, do not drag things out, plan everything carefully, and be able to bend and stretch.
"Thank you for me!" Yu Nianniang said.
After the eleventh left, Yu Nianniang began to look carefully, and left the hexagram hall in the middle of the time, and after dinner, she took what Chi Langyi wrote and began to deduce again, until the second day, when all the ministers and family members of the court and the banquet were arranged.
On the third day, after Yu Nianniang exercised, after breakfast, she took the answer sheet to Kun Yuan, and when she arrived, the other nine people had already handed in the paper, and Yu Nianniang handed the answer sheet to Feng Tianshi.
How to answer it will generally not be known until after the Winter Food Festival. Yu Nianniang said goodbye to Feng Tianshi, went out of the Kun Courtyard, and as soon as she got into the car, a child ran out of the Kun Courtyard and shouted Yu Nianniang.
"Feng Tianshi asked Miss Yu to go back to Kun Courtyard."
Yu Nianniang got out of the carriage and followed the child back into the Kun Courtyard.
Feng Tianshi is no longer in the Tianzi classroom, but in a room next to it, with a "Marking Room" sign hanging on the door.
Xiao Tong first knocked lightly on the door, and when he heard someone answering inside, he made a gesture of invitation to Yu Nianniang, and then left.
Yu Nianniang pushed open the door.
The room is not large, the furnishings are very simple, there is a large square table with black lacquer on the left and right, and in the center is a cabinet one and a half high, in which a lot of materials are placed.
And Feng Tianshi was sitting at one of the tables, with several answer sheets in front of him, and the densely written thing in his hand was Yu Nianniang's answer sheet.
