==Chapter 68==

Wang Shilang saw that Cheng Wenjing was full of confidence, but he didn't believe it in his heart.

He studied the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, became literate at the age of three, and studied literature at the age of five. The world only knows that he is very knowledgeable, and in time he will become a great Confucian, and no one knows that he has done a lot of hard work behind his back.

Such efforts are extremely rare for the children of the family, and it is precisely because of this kind of effort that Wang Shilang will enter the Guozi School by himself, and shine in the Guozi School with his true ability.

He took the stack of manuscripts and looked at them.

As soon as you see it, you can see that this is indeed a translation, and the so-called translation is to interpret the learned texts with your own meaning, and record them with pen and ink as a method of study.

Wang Shilang used to use this method, but that was many years ago, and sometimes he couldn't understand what his husband said for a while, so he used his own understanding to interpret it to strengthen his memory. After Wang Shilang's foundation was laid, this method was never used again, so at this time, Wang Shilang looked at this stack of manuscripts, as if he was looking at a child's toys, and he had a helpless and funny mood.

However, he also knew that for women, their own knowledge was not too important, so Xiao Jiuniang and Wenjing's sister were both young, and Wang Shilang did not have any disdain.

The only thing that made him look at it was that the handwriting on this manuscript, not mentioning the content, was extremely rare for a woman.

Xiao Jiuniang, thinking of the girl with a pure smile and a generous smile, Wang Shilang's eyes couldn't help but flash.

After that, all his attention was devoted to the stack of manuscripts.

The more Wang Shilang's eyes brightened, the so-called discussion of knowledge is not only about each other's familiarity with the article, but also a kind of interpretation and understanding. If a passage is interpreted by a thousand people, there will be a thousand completely different opinions.

At first glance, the content of this manuscript is indeed simple, even a little crude. But looking further down, it is not, and the manuscript uses the simplest language to relay the meaning and main points contained in the Book of Rites and the Zuo Biography. Many truths are clearly known to everyone, but many times it is inevitable that the words do not reach the meaning, and this manuscript does not have this problem, the words are concise, but there is always the finishing touch, which makes people suddenly open the house at a glance, and feel that this answer is the right reason.

"This manuscript is written by that Xiao Tongyan?" Pressing the excitement in his heart, Wang Shilang asked.

"You said Jiu Niang, it's her. How's that, not bad, right? Jiu Niang is really a good person, and she took out all the good things at the bottom of the box and gave it to me. ”

"It's really good, although this method is a bit opportunistic, but it is very useful for people like you who have a bad foundation." Wang Shilang watched intently, nodding as he watched.

Although he had already learned the above content, what he said above made him feel a sense of openness and refreshment, and it was also extremely helpful to his knowledge, which made him a little unable to put it down.

"Sister Wenjing, after you finish using this manuscript, can you lend me to study it for two days?"

Cheng Wenjing was a little surprised, could it be that Jiu Niang's knowledge was so good that her cousin would also be interested in it?

But she couldn't bear to refuse her cousin, so she nodded immediately.

Wang Shilang put down the manuscript at this time, and explained to Cheng Wenjing that she should not forget her body when studying, and then left.

*

This time, the national invigilation examination was conducted by the six schools together.

In addition to Guozixue, the results of the ten-month examination of the other five schools are counted and compared in one place.

On this day, the results of the ten-month examination were posted in school, and Xiao Jiuniang unexpectedly took the second class, which was a little better than King Chu expected, and it was a second class. Ruan Linger took the second middle school exam, as for Cheng Wenjing, although she was temporarily holding Buddha's feet, her foundation was too poor, even if she had Jiuniang's exclusive cheating tool, she only took a C grade.

The only thing to be thankful for is that it is a C middle school, which has not fallen into the bottom stream.

This result is better than Cheng Wenjing expected, so she is still in a good mood, as for Ruan Ling'er, she didn't have much hope for herself, and the results were expected, so she was calm. Only Jiuniang was a little surprised, she thought that it would be a blessing to take the B test at her own level, but she didn't expect to get a B exam, which is not bad among the nobles.

She knew that this was the credit of the King of Chu, if it weren't for the teaching of the King of Chu these days, and even helped her come up with an opportunistic way, judging from the fact that she had never experienced this kind of situation where many students took the exam together, it would be good to be able to take a C grade.

All the students were talking about each other's grades, and after finishing school, Jiuniang hurried to the private house in a carriage.

The king of Chu was indeed in a private house.

"Cousin—"

Jiu Niang put the book bag on the soft couch and came close to the King of Chu.

King Chu hummed almost inaudibly and glanced at her.

"The results of the ten-year exam are out." Jiu Niang smiled.

"Uh-huh."

"Jiuniang took the B exam."

"Are you happy?"

The king of Chu raised his hand and put the pen on the pen rest, and raised his eyes to look at Jiuniang.

Jiuniang nodded again and again, and her joy flowed into words.

King Chu's eyes flashed, "It's good to be happy, but as far as this king knows, the Guozi Jian annual exam is held once a year, not only the content of the Four Books and Five Classics, but also the six arts, and the results of all subjects are summarized and scored, how are you learning in other subjects?" ”

Belch......

was stunned at first, and then mourned for the exam.

The little hand pulled on the sleeve of the King of Chu and tugged at it, "Cousin, you must help Jiuniang!" ”

King Chu didn't say anything at first, and then seemed to be moved by her pitiful appearance, and snorted: "Then you have to cooperate, you are more than smart, and your perseverance is insufficient." "This is the evaluation that the King of Chu taught Jiuniang for a while.

How can she lack perseverance?

Jiu Niang had some small grievances, but she had to admit that she really lacked perseverance. Compared with Ruan Ling'er, she is not as hard as the other party, even Cheng Wenjing, although she did not witness how she hugged her feet temporarily, but when she saw Cheng Wenjing coming to school that day and looked haggard, she also knew that the other party must have been attentive in those days.

Compared with these two people, she seems to be a little too laid-back, of course, it can't be said that she didn't study seriously, but she really didn't pay much attention. Because what she thought was that she didn't need to be too good in the exam, just not bad, so in addition to listening to the lectures and studying carefully in the Guozijian, she came to the private house and was taught by the King of Chu, but after returning home, she never touched the books.

There is pressure to be motivated, and it seems that she has to work harder. Jiuniang knows that the ten-year exam is just a small head, and the annual exam is the most important.

He repeatedly promised that he would be serious in the future, and only raised three fingers to swear, and the king of Chu promised to continue to teach her in the coming month.

Jiuniang didn't know that she wasn't like this, and the King of Chu wouldn't leave her alone, probably out of some bad taste, the King of Chu just teased her and begged bitterly, so he reluctantly nodded and agreed.

Seeing King Chu nodding, Jiu Niang breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, she also despised herself a little in her heart, and the combined age of her two lives was half of the earth, and she would even make the younger daughter's family a trick.

But when she saw the corners of King Chu's slightly curled mouth, her mood was inexplicably good.

……

The time that follows is naturally a time to learn.

At this time, the King of Chu will completely change his face, and the King of Chu also looks cold and solemn on weekdays, but he is correspondingly calmer or safer, and when he teaches Jiuniang knowledge, he is still like this, but it is a little more dangerous.

As long as Jiu Niang had something inappropriate to answer, King Chu would glance at it, and for Jiu Niang, who was more nervous, this kind of look made her unable to help but break out in a cold sweat.

If it weren't for the fact that the King of Chu was a prince and not a private school teacher, Jiu Niang would almost automatically substitute him into Mr. Peng, who was strict with his students when he studied in the Lanling clan, and that Mr. Peng was extremely strict when he taught his students, and never forgot to wave a ring ruler in his hand. However, this Mr. Peng did not teach Jiuniang, but was a teacher for other students in the clan studies.

Two hours later, it was time for Jiu Niang to go home, but the King of Chu said lightly, asking Jiu Niang to stay for dinner. This situation has not happened before, Jiu Niang didn't think much about it, so she nodded and agreed.

Chang Shun took two maidservants to set up a table outside and began to set up a meal.

Seeing this, Jiu Niang went to the side to clean her hands and face, and the King of Chu also cleaned her hands, and then Jiu Niang pushed the King of Chu to the front of the case.

Because the king of Chu was not good at his work, the furniture he used to use was specially made, which was much higher than ordinary furniture. Because he has been in the private house for a while, all the furniture in this house has been changed.

Jiu Niang pushed the King of Chu to the front of the case, the table was just enough to go to the King of Chu to sit comfortably in a wheelchair to eat, Chang Shun moved a high-legged chair to Jiu Niang, and sat facing the King of Chu.

On top of a large rectangular table, there are many dishes.

With so many dishes, Jiu Niang was a little surprised.

The king of Chu is accustomed to being stubborn, and has very high requirements for food, clothing, housing and transportation, but the quality is not the quantity. Jiu Niang has not dined with him, and the two of them usually only have five or six dishes, but today there are seven or eight dishes with exquisite styles and full of color and flavor on the table, and the maid is still putting dishes on the table.

Is there anything good about today?

This was the first thought that flashed into Jiu Niang's mind, and soon her attention was diverted, because she saw the maid come up with two jugs of wine.

So many dishes, and wine!

Jiuniang rarely saw the King of Chu drinking, probably because of leg disease, of course, it was not that she couldn't drink, but she drank very little.

Could it really be that something good is happening today?

Full of doubts, King Chu glanced at her lightly, then picked up his chopsticks and began to eat. At the same time, Chang Shun and the maidservant who were serving on the side poured wine into the wine cup placed in front of King Chu and Jiu Niang.

The wine cup in front of King Chu was filled with an amber slightly thick liquor, while Jiu Niang's wine cup was a pale red liquor.

"Taste, this woman has drunk very well."

Jiuniang picked up the wine cup and sniffed it gently.

The wine flavor is not strong, and it has a fruity aroma, which is the lychee wine that is popular in the circle of noble ladies and ladies nowadays.

This lychee wine is made from lychees, and because the raw materials are rare, this wine is also extremely valuable. Of course, this is for commoners or ordinary people, but for these princes and nobles who are ringing and eating, it is not rare.
