Lime didn't know when she fell asleep last night, she just felt sore. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Shen Man standing at the door in high spirits, still holding a scroll in his hand, shaking his head and reciting some chapters of the "Theory of Determining Heaven", during which he did not drop a word or pause.

Lime was a little shocked, thinking to himself that could this wood lump be able to have an epiphany overnight?

She didn't believe that Shen Man had such ability, so she hurriedly ran to find Tang Jiuyue. Even if Tang Jiuyue didn't sleep all night, she still had the same demeanor, which made Lime have to be jealous.

"Gate Supervisor, what method did you use to teach Shen Man? How do I feel like overnight, she seems to be a different person. Lime asked, wondering.

Tang Jiuyue said, "Xiaoman's situation is special, she was not born like this, have you noticed, she is easy to wander when she reads, at this time, it is not possible to use external force to force, you can only overcome it with an expert method." ”

"Insider's way?" Lime touched her chin and thought, "What kind of method is that, how come I have never heard of it?" ”

Tang Jiuyue smiled lightly, slipped out a medicine bottle from his sleeve, and put it in the palm of Lime's hand, "I'll hand it over to you again, and I'll go back to Taige to deal with some things." ”

Lime leaned close to her and whispered, "...... over there."

Tang Jiuyue said lightly, "I'll handle it." ”

When she left, Shen Man was still concentrating on studying the last paragraph of this last chapter, and when she came back to her senses and closed the "Theory of Determining Heaven", she saw Lime standing there, and Tang Jiuyue had already disappeared.

Shen Man naturally felt a sense of loss in his heart, but with a hint of luck, he asked Lime, "Is the gate supervisor gone?" ”

Lime opened the porcelain bottle that Tang Jiuyue gave her, and was sniffing it on her nose, only to feel a choking smell rushing to her nose, and hurriedly stuffed the stinky bottle to Shen Man, and bent over to vomit while holding on to the trunk.

"I thought this was some kind of, it turns out that the gate supervisor said that the insider's method turned out to be this......" Lime's face turned pale, wiped the stain from his mouth, and said weakly, "This thing is so stinky, you can smell it?" ”

Shen Man smiled, "My nose is not very bright, and it is just right to have such a pungent thing." ”

Lime thought for a moment and said, "This kind of thing must be bad for your body if it smells for a long time, why don't you try my silver needle again?" She said it sincerely and seriously.

Shen Man's heart was like ashes, and he hurriedly rejected her kindness, "I think it's just right to use this, you don't have to bother the lime door supervisor to apply the needle!" ”

Lime stared at her for a long moment, her brow furrowed, furrowed and loosened.

"In a short period of time last night, you have finished reading "The Theory of Determining Heaven"?"

"Well, I've read it."

"Remember?"

Shen Man smiled confidently, "It's like a stream." ”

Lime's eyes widened, not quite convinced. Shen Man calmly handed over the "Theory of Determining Heaven" and signaled the lime to ask the question at will. After Lime asked a few words, he couldn't help but be amazed when he saw that Shen Man had really remembered everything.

"It turns out that you are not really stupid, and your memory is so good that even I am jealous." "I started reciting the Determination of Heaven at the age of five, and it took me at least a year to understand it, which is fast, but I didn't expect you to be able to memorize it all overnight, and at this speed, I believe that I will be able to reach the level of my hard work for a year in less than three days!" ”

Shen Man said modestly, "At my current age, it's already too late to recite, not as good as the Lime Gate Supervisor back then. ”

Lime snorted and said, "No need to be polite, it seems that the medicine bottle given by the gate supervisor is really useful, at this rate I believe you will be able to read the required books soon, at least you will not turn in empty papers." ”

"Well, thank you Lady Keeper." Hearing her say this, Shen Man's heart relaxed a lot.

Lime raised her hand to look at the sun, and said, "Let's go out to eat at noon, and by the way, buy some pen and ink and rice paper, your handwriting is too rigid, you need to practice well." ”

Shen Man readily agreed.

After only one day of leaving the house, I felt that the scene on the street was very different.

Shen Man asked as he walked, "Along the way, I saw that those gates and mansions were crowded with people, and the Yin-Yang Dao registration exam had ended, why did these people gather together again?" ”

Lime was just about to answer, but saw a agile shadow suddenly appear, stood behind Shen Man, patted Shen Man's shoulder, and then said, "It's such a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you again." ”

Lime didn't think it was a coincidence, rolled her eyes, and said angrily, "Miss Wu, why are you pestering us like a fart?" ”

Wu Niannian raised his chin and said, "I'm not chasing you. ”

Shen Man saw that Wu Niannian had changed his outfit today, wearing a pink long skirt with a placket, a popular diagonal hairpin bun, and the makeup on his face was meticulous, and the whole person was beautiful and refined, just like the beauty on the picture, which was very different from what he saw a few days ago.

Lime looked Wu Niannian up and down, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "You participated in the 'fighting meeting'?" Who are you? ”

Shen Man asked, "What is a 'fighting meeting'?" ”

Wu Niannian said proudly, "The lime girl is really an old fritter in the capital, and she can see the origin of my clothes at a glance." Yes, I participated in the 'Fighting Meeting' and joined the camp of the Great Prince. ”

"The Great Prince?" Lime hooked the corners of her mouth, "I didn't expect the eldest prince to be so short of people." The implication is that the eldest prince is so short of people that even people like Wu Niannian who have no background and no ability have been recruited, which shows that this year's strength is really average.

Wu Niannian was able to suppress it, and instead of continuing to quarrel with Lime, he pulled Shen Mandao, "Do you want to go to the camp of the eldest prince, I think the eldest prince treats people gently and politely, and he is the prince, if he wins one or two games for him, it will be of great help to his future career." ”

Lime pulled away Wu Niannian's hand that was holding Shen Man, turned his head to Shen Man and said, "You are not allowed to go!" ”

Wu Niannian came over again and grabbed Shen Man's shirt, "Participating in the 'Fighting Meeting' is a good way to show your strengths, why do you want to stop it?" Besides, it's up to Miss Shen to decide whether to go or not, she doesn't have to listen to you! ”

Shen Man was pulled and pulled, and said a little innocently, "Can any of you tell me what the fighting meeting is, and then I will decide whether to participate or not?" ”

So Lime and Wu Niannian glanced at each other, or Wu Niannian grabbed Bai Dao, "Every year before the Yin-Yang Dao exam, there will be important ministers and princes in the court to win over capable candidates into their camp, and a small-scale competition will be held before the official exam, which is the 'fighting meeting'." ”

Lime continued, "Generally speaking, the eldest prince, Princess Decheng and others will participate, and other princes and princesses may also attend. In addition to the royal people, the important ministers of the court also have the power to attract talents who can be seen, such as Ning Xiangye, who came last year, and Wang Hui, the twenty-seventh examiner of Danmen, belongs to his camp. ”

Shen Man groaned, "This 'fighting meeting' is a means to attract talents in advance for the people of the DPRK and China, and a competition for candidates to prove their strength and test the strength of other competitors. ”

Wu Niannian nodded, "Yes, that's exactly the case." How, do you dare to accept the challenge? ”

"Xiaoman," Lime said in a muffled voice, "the gate supervisor will also participate." ”

Shen Man was stunned, and only then did he understand the reason why Lime was trying to stop him. He was originally Tang Jiuyue's only apprentice, if he saw Tang Jiuyue approve and accept others as apprentices, then he would definitely feel uncomfortable in his heart.

"Lime, I think I'd better go to this money fight," Shen Man said with a smile, "I want to see how the others have come, and I also want to try my own ability." Besides, you said that the gate supervisor would come, so why shouldn't I join in the fun? ”

"That's right," Wu Niannian said happily, "I recommend you to the Great Prince, and we will join the Great Prince's camp together!" ”

"Hmm."
