Who has the time to care about what Xia Shijie, Li Shijie or Wang Shijie, the Hongchen family took the exam in one go, and eighteen female students were examined.

This year, the Beijing Women's School recruited 69 people, compared with the past years, it is a lot, but 18 are only from one family, which is still quite eye-catching.

Especially Xiao Yan and Luo Niang, they really don't look like such talented women at first glance, although they have lost the smell of wind and dust, but the traces left by years of difficult life on their bodies are not easy to erase.

A lot of female students who went to take the exam automatically and spontaneously distanced themselves from their hearts when they saw them, and their aura was too different.

Luo Niang to that station, although the person is not ugly, but she is not Miss Jiao, she never calls a maid at home, she has no maid, laundry and cooking are all done by herself, the skin on the back of the hand, until later was carefully maintained by Hongchen, but it is inevitable to leave some wounds, palms, fingers, there are calluses, and other girls' slender jade fingers can not be compared, the figure is not tall, but the daily exercise in the past two years has made her body very healthy, the skin is a little darker, and the muscles are strong.

The girls in the capital are still popular for the beauty of weak and slender, and people prefer the posture that is like a weak willow supporting the wind.

Speaking of clothes, although it is an assessment, they still wear the clothes that make them most comfortable, not satin, all cotton.

At first glance, those female students didn't feel that they were secretly speculating, guessing where this came from, and they couldn't help but slander a few words - when did the assessment standards of the Beijing Girls' School be so low?

This is because of this assessment, and it is not the daughters of those wealthy families who come. At most, there are only medium-sized families with some money at home, and they are cautious and not used to conflicts with people, otherwise the two sides will have to quarrel between them without taking the exam!

Luo Niang and the others were also a little uneasy in their hearts, but as soon as they took the exam, they automatically entered the state.

In the past two years, they have taken the exam almost once a month, and until now, they don't care what they take and never have stage fright.

It's just not timid. It immediately attracted the attention of those examiners.

Candidates may not know. But as an examiner, sitting on a high platform, I have seen a lot of knowledge, and I have seen countless ladies. Sweep it at a glance. A candidate value is not worth paying attention to. You can watch eight or nine without leaving ten.

Luo Niang and the others were wearing the same clothes and had a very similar temperament, and they entered the examination room generously. Even Mr. Zou smiled: "This time our students are okay." ”

The assessment of women's schools has always been the focus of the first two rounds, and almost all the students in the examination can be determined. Most of the time, the candidates in the last round are just running together, and even the gentlemen in the academy don't pay much attention to it in private.

But the base of civilian women is large enough, and occasionally there are still a few outstanding ones who emerge.

Just like Fang Zhi, who was caught by the Xia family, she was not seven years old when she sent her sister to participate in the assessment of the women's school, but her sister was not admitted, she inadvertently aroused the interest of the elders of the Xia family, and was fooled into the Xia family.

Now the Haoyue Sword created by Fang Zhi himself was selected by His Majesty to become the sword of the Son of Heaven in the palace, and she also became famous in one fell swoop.

Fang Zhi is also grateful for his kindness, he is loyal to the Xia family, I don't know how many people have offered a high price, and she refuses to take her back, such a good woman with a firm temperament is much stronger than the average lady of the powerful family.

Mr. Zou only gossiped a few words, and didn't pay much attention to it, this scene is a strategy, mainly to read the article. However, after receiving the papers, the group of examiners unconsciously paid attention to it.

As a result, when you look at it, you look at each other!

"What? Twenty copies of the finest papers? ”

Mr. Zou was equally dumbfounded.

Everyone else was stunned, and if they let other academies know, they didn't know how to laugh at them...... Coming up with an exam question, I was stunned to get twenty first-class answer sheets in one round of assessment, which is not a leak, that is, the question is too simple and not presentable.

"The last two rounds of assessment are normal!"

The first round of the top papers was eleven copies, the middle one was eighteen, and the second round was about the same.

The candidates of these two times are all daughters of dignitaries in the capital, and it is normal to do well in the exam.

Mr. Zou frowned: "Did you use a normal exam paper?" ”

A young examiner looked at the record book in his hand and said in a low voice: "Because the candidates who passed the above two rounds have recruited forty-nine, which is quite a lot, and we use the most difficult test paper in the third round." ”

This is also a customary rule, if the number of qualified people in the first two rounds is small, the third round will release the water, use simpler rolls, if the first two rounds of the number of people are enough, the third round will use the normal, or more difficult.

The Beijing Women's School is well-known all over the world, and the enrollment must not be indiscriminate, but if there are too few students, it will be troublesome, and the number of students will not be enough, and some activities organized together with other academies will not be able to participate, which is also troublesome, so it is inevitable that when there are generals in the school, the third round of assessment will release the water, recruit a few civilian women, and also enhance the reputation of the women's school.

Can there be so many high-quality rolls in one breath......

Mr. Zou pressed his eyebrows: "Review again." ”

A group of examiners went to review again, and even Mr. Zou also came out, but these 20 papers, you are trying to pick thorns, unless the standards are re-set and the excellent papers of the other two fields are beaten back to the middle and upper grades, otherwise, these answers are very perfect, and the article is very outstanding, and you can't admit it if you want to.

Mr. Zou could only smile bitterly: "That's it, let's register." ”

The examiners can't help it, they can't arbitrarily judge the candidates' results for the sake of looking good, but once they are registered, the colleges next to them will also look at them, in fact, many colleges will pay attention to the results of candidates from other colleges.

As soon as the twenty superior test papers came out, I don't know what those guys think!

After a few days, Mr. Zou and the others were numb, they didn't care what others thought, they could say whatever they liked, and this year's own women's school will inevitably be different, no matter what, in fact, the result is not bad.

More than a dozen or special, maybe different from other ladies, but it is a woman with absolutely not bad qualifications, how can it be said that it is a bad thing!

Cultivated by the world's talents. It's not just the men's wishes!

The red sticker was posted out, and everyone in the family who participated in the assessment got good results, and Hongchen personally cooked a table of wine and food.

When Luo Niang and the others came out to eat, there was not much joy on their faces, but their eyes were faintly red, and a few girls couldn't help crying.

Hongchen didn't speak, letting them cry.

In fact, the assessment is not difficult, although they have only studied for three years, and even they have only enjoyed a year of hellish training, but they can cope with such an assessment. Deal with an exam that others may not be able to do well after studying for more than ten years. However, they did not feel the slightest difficulty, as if the previously mysterious life of the academy suddenly became within reach.

But Luo Niang's inferiority complex hidden in her heart even walked in the sun. I can't help but hide in the shadows. Popping up again and again.

Xiao Yan thought back to the past. I couldn't sleep all night.

When they were in Qixian County, Luo Niang and the others were not admired, and they even had a bright future in the academy. The talented young students sent love poems to Xiao Yan, played the piano and sang songs, expressed their admiration, and their emotions were earnest and real.

There are also young boys who have discussed with their families seriously, overcome all difficulties, hire someone to be a matchmaker, and sincerely want to marry a girl who has no family background and doesn't even know her very clear origin, which is a big determination.

Once, Xiao Yan was even moved.

A Xiucai Lang in Qixian County, who is only eighteen years old, gentle and considerate, and very respectful of people, especially women, in the lingering love letter he wrote, even promised to marry only one woman in his life, even if Xiao Yan can't give birth to a child for him in the future, he would rather come back from his younger brother than take a concubine.

Even Hongchen was surprised when he heard it.

She has never seen a man who does not accept concubines, that is, scholarly families, don't want serious concubines, and there are a few girls who have sex with each other, and people who pay attention to a little bit, and the woman has to send a maid who tries to marry, but looking at the meaning of this little showman, it is sincere and only guarding one woman to live.

Not to mention Xiao Yan's heart, Hongchen's heart is a little fluctuating, and many people in Yujue's space who like to listen to gossip are smiling and shouting, if this family business is done, then Xiao Xiucai can really do everything he promised, and they will get together and give Xiao Yan a rich dowry.

It's a pity that Xiao Yan still didn't get it.

Hongchen felt very pity, but she herself had suffered from marriage, so naturally she would not force her sisters to marry, even if that candidate really looked good.

Xiao Yan was also admitted to the women's school today, and from today onwards she will no longer be a lowly woman, so she cried bitterly, crying and saying: "I don't marry, I don't want to harm others, like me, who knows if I can have children, how can I expect a good person!" ”

Luo Niang hugged her and cried.

Hongchen drank a little wine and laughed: "What are you crying about, today is a big day, it doesn't matter if you don't get married, we will live together forever in the future, you will take care of each other when you are old, if you want children, let's adopt a few, and train them well, no worse than your own son." ”

Before the words fell, Luo Niang's face turned white with fright, and she turned her head and said angrily: "Don't say it, no one is allowed to talk nonsense in front of Miss." ”

If they don't marry or marry, then they won't marry, anyway, it's hard to expect any man who doesn't care about his past, but Miss Hongchen ......

"Amitabha, Buddha bless, bless Miss peace and joy, Amitabha, Buddha bless, bless Miss to meet her lover early!"

Luo Niang clasped her hands together and recited a few words silently.

Miss Hongchen is so good, she will be the county lord soon, how can she fall to the point where they are, she will definitely have a good marriage forever.

“……”

Hongchen sighed.

Well, just like someone in the Yujue space said, women are independent and have a long way to go.

She didn't quite understand how a woman should be independent, only some hazy thoughts, no wonder Luo Niang and the others heard her say a joke, they were scared and trembling, for fear that they would set a bad example and make their own young lady deviate.

On such an important day today, Xue Baiqiao and Jin Qing did not come.

No way, the father of Zou Nan, a bachelor of Hanlin, is the birthday of Mrs. Zou today, and Mrs. Zou himself doesn't matter much, but Zou Nan is a protégé of countless old times, he is still the chief examiner this year, and the new scholars are mostly in the capital, so they can't just forget about the examiner as soon as the exam is over, and naturally they want to go to celebrate their birthday.

Xue Baiqiao, Xue Xiaohou's status is noble. It stands to reason that he doesn't have to go, but he loves to be lively, and Jin Qing also goes, so he simply goes to the banquet as a candidate, carrying a jar of osmanthus brewing.

Jin Qing took two longevity peaches and four-color snacks, and Hongchen stuffed him with an inkstone.

Mrs. Zou is also a master who can play, and loves some strange things, and this inkstone is naturally generated with a strange stone. There is also a longevity word at the bottom. It's quite interesting, and it doesn't seem expensive at all, so it's appropriate.

It's okay if the men aren't there, Hongchen thinks. If only Jin Qing and Xue Baiqiao were there. Luo Niang, I'm afraid it's difficult for them to indulge like this.

It's not a good thing to hold your breath in your heart.

Hongchen writes his own script. I didn't write a lot of plots about so-and-so being suffocated to death and being angry, if my sisters were also depressed. That's a joke.

Bang dang!

Before the meal was finished, the door opened, and Jin Qing rushed in angrily, and his face was black when he sat down.

Luo Niang's drunkenness woke up suddenly.

The others looked up at him as well.

I saw Xue Baiqiao also sneaking into the door, and the expression on his face was also very strange.

Hongchen raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?" ”

When the two of them went to the birthday banquet today, Jin Qing was in a good mood, and as for Xue Baiqiao, he was simply interested.

He wanted to see if Xia Shijie would take out his 'Tibetan painting' and show his face well.

How did you become like this when you came back?

Jin Qing poured a glass of wine: "What kind of thing is he, he actually dares to covet Sister A Chen...... Dust! ”

Luo Niang and Xiao Yan turned their heads at the same time and stared at Jin Qing intently.

At the beginning, the Zou family's birthday banquet was still very ordinary.

The Zou family is not rich, it is a well-known clear stream, the birthday banquet is naturally simple, and most of the people who go to the banquet are literati and ink writers.

Xue Baiqiao also saw the scene he wanted to see.

At that time, the garden was full of meandering water, literati and artists gathered together, and the energetic old birthday star sat on the chair next to Shoushan Stone, smiling and watching these people compete to offer treasures.

When it was Xia Shijie's turn, he took out an antique painting tube and said with a smile: "The younger generation feels that he has picked up a leak this time, but how big it is, I still have to ask you to evaluate it or two." ”

Everyone was interested, and although not everyone liked to play with antiques, people must be very interested in picking up leaks.

Xia Shijie, as the eldest son of the Xia family, is so solemn, holding up a painting, and it is mysterious, who can not be curious?

The Painttube is opened.

Take out the scroll and lay it flat on the table.

Everyone: "......"

A young man touched his head in wonder: "I think the style is like Da Li's "Hip Spring", but the signature is Mr. Chen Changde's style, this is ......."

Where did this come from?

However, it was the eldest son of the Xia family who sent the painting, and he could only swallow it.

Another middle-aged scholar leaned over and sniffed it, crying and laughing: "The ink is still fresh, this painting should not be more than a month, Xia Gongzi, this is what you sent?" ”

Xia Shijie smiled: "Looking at the painting, it is indeed a new work, and it is also a fake, but you might as well be careful?" Why don't you invite the birthday boy to come over and take a look? ”

Old Man Zou had already looked at it on the side, blinked, a touch of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and he coughed: "Well, it's a good thing, thank you Xia Gongzi, come here, put it away quickly, and put it in my warehouse." ”

As soon as he said this, the young man could not refute it, but there were a bunch of old fellows in the house who were not happy, and said angrily: "What's the matter, don't hang people's appetites!" ”

"That is, although it is your Lao Zou's birthday, but the last time I celebrated my birthday, you directly took away an ancient book I got, why did you ...... this time?"

The old man drank and became more and more interested, but when he came over to take a look, he was stunned and laughed out loud.

"Alright, alright, take it."

Everyone else was stunned.

Even Xia Shijie was stunned - could it be that Mr. Zou suspected that the other painting hidden in it was superb, and it was not revealed, but ...... But with their identity, what other paintings have such value?

The two old men were like this, and the remaining ones were even more unrelenting.

Old Man Zou couldn't, turned his head and said to Xia Shijie: "Young Master Xia, you should also be able to see that there is a mystery in this painting, but do you really want me to reveal it to everyone?" ”

Xia Shijie said with a smile: "To be honest, I got this painting by accident, and Xia has never seen the real face, so I am really curious." ”

That's the willingness to see.

Old Man Zou nodded and asked people to bring water. Gently sprinkled on the painting, his hands are well maintained, although he is old, his hands are more slender than women, his fingers are pressed on the corner of the painting, and he did not see him exert force, slightly twisted, and the painting was torn open at once.

"Ahh

The young students in the back all stood up and leaned forward, their faces full of surprise and admiration in their hearts.

"Oops. Is this someone using a fake painting to hide the real painting? What kind of treasure is hidden inside! ”

"Ugh."

Old Man Zou wanted to block it. But where can it be stopped, Xia Shijie was the first to see it, and he was stunned for a moment.

I saw that the painting that was hidden, the painting was not bad. It's a pity that I only drew a big pumpkin.

No matter how good the pumpkin painting is. It's just a pumpkin, too.

There is also a line written below - please eat melons. You're welcome.

Xia Shijie's face suddenly turned red, and even the roots of his ears were hot, at this time he didn't know that he had been tricked. Or did he think he was cleverly tricked, then he should have hit his head and died.

Old Man Zou coughed and said with a smile: "Don't mind, it's actually quite fun, you can see the secret of its framing, it's also very good, just take it as fun, don't take it to heart." ”

In fact, this bureau, it is Xia Shijie who is coaxed, not a complete layman, nor an insider, the insider can see at a glance that this rough framing, there must be no good things hidden inside, as for the complete layman, he can't see the secret that people want to express at all, and the layman is self-aware and will not buy things indiscriminately, so it is naturally difficult to be deceived.

There was silence in the courtyard, and then there was laughter.

Many people looked at the eldest son of the Xia family playfully.

"Don't be angry, just spend money to buy a lesson."

"Don't talk about lessons, let our old birthday star have fun, and the birthday gift of the son is not bad."

Xue Baiqiao smiled even more, and some people went over to comfort him, but at this time, the comforting words were more exciting.

Xia Shijie was so angry that he shook his wine glass, and a glass of wine landed on the table.

Wine stains spread.

"Huh?"

As soon as everyone lowered their heads, they all stopped laughing, only to see that the winter melon was stained with wine, and it slowly changed, and the winter melon disappeared and changed into a woman wearing an ink-colored robe, standing in the wilderness very casually, with an indifferent expression.

For a moment, many people held their breath.

This woman ......

It is easy and not self-sustaining. Taste the peerless color, and restore the posture of the city.

In the eyes of the literati, they suddenly felt that the moonlight was more gentle, and the fragrance of flowers in the garden was more charming.

With no one to drink, the ordinary banquet also tastes the taste of dragon liver and phoenix gall.

"Whew!"

"The quality is proud and frosty, and the fragrance contains autumn dew. I should be a wife, I should be a wife, I will not marry! ”

After a long time, suddenly a young scholar jumped up, slapped the painting, and leaned his head over in intoxication, about to kiss the cherry lips of the beauty in the painting.

Jin Qing originally wanted to say goodbye and leave, not planning to mix up and make a farce, but when he saw the drunken painting at a glance, his face changed greatly, and with a slap of the face, he fanned the crazy scholar who was half drunk and half drunk.

Xia Shijie frowned and looked at it, his face was gloomy, Jin Qing glared at him, snatched the painting, pursed his lips and said to Old Man Zou: "Old man forgive me." ”

After that, put the scroll and leave.

Xue Baiqiao stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, crying and laughing-this kid!

This time, Yu Yi and Qiao Lingjun were all there, frowning, and glared at the scholar who was still drunk and crazy, with a fascinated expression.

This person's surname is Ouyang, his single name is Yihao, and he is also a second-class jinshi, and he has some literary talents, but he has a total of three wives in front of him, and he still dares to covet Miss Hongchen? Not even if you're drunk!

…………

Now the picture of the beauty is resting on the table.

"Ah Chen, do you think this kid is too young?" Xue Baiqiao snorted when he saw Jin Qingqi, turned his head and rolled his eyes, "It's still Zhuangyuanlang, you are so angry, who doesn't know that the beauty in the painting is related to you, you just don't want the scholar to be rude at that time, just control him, and when I look back, I naturally want to take the painting back, and I won't let more people see it." ”

In fact, the portrait of a beauty is not a big deal to be out, but more conservative people always feel that it is not very good.

Jin Qing doesn't want the portraits of his relatives to be taken by others to look at them at will, that's human nature, it's just a means to deal with it, it's worse than him.

Xue Baiqiao shook his head again and again.

Hongchen didn't think that her portrait was unsightly, but she was a little strange: "How can there be my painting?" ”

Looking at the dress, it should be when she was in Yingchuan.

She was puzzled for a while, packed up the painting and left, and didn't think much about it, there were so many people in Yingchuan who saw her, and occasionally a scholar drew it casually, but I don't know, this scholar is good at fine brushwork, and the painting is quite good.

The two big men were a little drunk, Hongchen simply sent them away, and coaxed Luo Niang and his party to wash up and go back to rest early.

Originally, this was just an idle matter, just a painting, circulating in the literati circle for three days and five days, and naturally there was new gossip to replace it without paying attention to it, but no one expected that the scholar who was drunk and crazy that day would come to the real thing! (To be continued.) )
