When the father and daughter of Luo Dagong boarded the most ordinary small four-wheeled carriage produced by Shanghai Shen Che and drove away. Next door to his house, in a large and luxurious mansion, a convoy drove out directly, all luxury four-wheeled carriages, even the horses pulling the carriages looked tall and handsome, and on each carriage, there was a gray background of Shen Zi recognition flag.

This is the book of the household department, and it is difficult for Shen Tingyang, the Marquis of Chongming, to send his granddaughters to take the exam! The Shen family is second only to the Zheng family's "big family", and a total of eight girls have passed the retest. These eight girls are not all Shen Tingyang's granddaughters, five of them are girls from the side branch of the Shen family in Chongming.

Among them, Shen Tingyang's granddaughters all grew up in Yingtianfu and are graduates of Nanjing Girls' High School, while the five girls from the Shen family's side branches are graduates of Shanghai Women's Academy. The former pays attention to Yunwen and Yunwu, and all graduates can ride horses and shoot arrows, while the latter has a great advantage in Confucianism and arithmetic - most of the students of the Shanghai Women's Academy come from citizen families living in Shanghai, and they are all admitted, and their IQ is definitely higher than that of the aristocratic women in Nanjing Women's High School, and the martial arts (physical fitness) are definitely inferior.

However, Shen Tingyang still found a girl named Shen Xiulan who was outstanding in all aspects and had an extremely outstanding appearance from the side branch of his family, and was now sitting opposite the old man Shen.

Old man Shen stroked his white beard and looked at the girl in front of him thoughtfully. The wealth of the Shen family is actually not much less than that of the Zheng family, but it is very low-key, and there is no own feudal town and feudal state, and there are not many children who serve as high-ranking officials. But this does not mean that Lao Shen does not have the ambition to take the family to the next level...... It's just that he knows that the biggest gap between the Shen family and the Zheng family is that the Zheng family is a relative of the emperor, while the Shen family and the royal family are not related.

And "taking the test to become a princess" is undoubtedly the best chance for the Shen family to catch up!

Now the contradiction between the Wu family and the Zheng family is not small, no matter which family the crown princess comes from, it will intensify the party struggle in the court. The Shen family is different, the relationship between the Shen family, the Wu family, and the Zheng family is quite good. Among them, the Shen and Wu families are old friends - Shen Tingyang was in charge of Ning Yuanlu back then, can the relationship with Wu Sangui be bad? Later, Zhu Cihong set up a maritime bank, developed the Shanghai commercial market, and strung the royal, Zheng, and Shen families together.

Therefore, it should be acceptable to both sides to let the girl of the Shen family become the crown princess......

......

Wei Zaode, the first assistant of the cabinet, has already arrived at the examination room for the entrance examination of Jinling Women's University with his youngest daughter, Wei Qingxiu, which is also on the shore of East Lake, which is the south of Moshan where Princess Nisha's Red Fort is located, called Moshan Academy. Originally, it was a college under Wuhan Taixue, and now it is lent to Jinling Women's University. It is not only the examination room, but also the site of the women's university during the Han period.

Wei Zaode's daughter is also extremely outstanding and beautiful, although she is only twenty-eight years old, she is already slim, her facial features are picturesque, and there is a kind of coldness that does not eat the fireworks of the world, as if the fairy in the sky has fallen to the dust.

Earlier than the Wei family's father and daughter, there were also charter king Zhu Ciwei and a large group of warblers and Yanyan brought by him - the girls brought by the charter king were all his sisters and nieces, either princesses or county lords, in short, they were not qualified to pick the crown princess, but the female university still had to take the exam.

Because this group of princesses and county lords are usually going to marry with nobles, and they have to bear the responsibility of cultivating loyal ministers for the Ming Dynasty, can they be uneducated?

The charter king, who was surrounded by twenty or thirty fifteen or sixteen-year-old beautiful girls, couldn't catch up with a little fragrance, and his brain hurt. These little girls are asking him about the exam questions!

The charter king is the main exam, and now of course he knows the questions of the first and second exams, and Emperor Zhu personally handed them over to him last night.

But can he say it? What's wrong with the charter king getting tired of it? Besides, what are you princesses in a hurry? Your test score only needs to be on the admission line...... Anyway, you can't be the crown princess!

Seeing Wei Zaode's father and daughter rushing to the examination room, the charter king hurriedly shouted: "It's almost time, you can enter the venue...... Come in, take the examination card, there is a number on the card, take a seat, and when the test paper is sent out, you will know what to test! ”

When the girls heard him call out people, they all pursed their mouths and complained about the charter king.

"You know and don't tell us, you are a bad luck king......"

"You don't care for your sister, I'm going to tell the Emperor!"

"I'm going to tell my father ......"

"I'm going to tell my mother!"

"I'm going to tell ......"

Zhu Ciwei also had nothing to do with some sisters, so he had to sue them, anyway, Emperor Zhu wouldn't listen to these children's nonsense, the emperor's daughter was more about to be unrecognizable, who did he care? And when you are admitted, I will be your business, and you must respect your teacher!

After coaxing a group of little girls into the examination room, Zhu Ciwei went to meet Wei Zaode.

"Shousuke is here early!" King Fu said with a smile.

"Come early," Wei Zaode said, "I have to go to the Yamen of the Cabinet Office when I go back...... Although the noon court has been stopped in the past few days, things still have to be done! ”

"It's really hard work...... Zhu Ciwei glanced at the fairy-like Wei Qingxiu, and almost went crazy - isn't this the Ming Dynasty version of Princess Nisha? Although it is a little less exotic, it is a little more fairy.......

The charter king thought to himself: Why is a beautiful girl who doesn't eat fireworks in the world not suitable to be a princess and a princess? Why don't you marry a prince who is rich in five cars and has more than a dozen streets to collect rent......

Thinking of this, the charter king smiled and said to Wei Zaode: "Since Shoufu still has national affairs to do, then Ling Ai will be handed over to this king, and this king will take her to the examination room...... You can just ask someone to pick you up in the afternoon, and nothing will go wrong. ”

Of course, the examination room is closed, with aunts and palace maids watching, and there are guards on the periphery, of course, nothing can go wrong. In addition, there is a cafeteria and a quiet room for resting in the examination room, and after the morning exams, the girls eat in the cafeteria, then take a break and prepare for the afternoon exams.

And these girls don't think that they can't go out of the door, they have all gone to a new girls' school, and they have also taken many exams, so they won't feel unaccustomed.

These upper-class girls of the new era and their mothers' generation are already completely different women.

......

"Xing'er, I heard that you are often with Ah Huan these days?"

"We see each other a lot."

"What do you think of her?"

"It's beautiful, but it's too fierce."

"Too fierce?"

"Yes, she's fierce when she's young......"

In the Qinzheng Hall of Donghu Palace, Emperor Zhu was talking to his son Zhu Hexing at this time. This Zhu Hexing is sixteen or seventeen years old, but he is very tall and burly, and he is not as weak as he was when he was a child - he was born prematurely, he was not in good health when he was a child, and he was small, but when he was raised, he began to follow his parents, and the more he grows, the bigger he gets, and now he is a "little giant".

But although this "little giant" is quite big, his thoughts are very simple, a bit like that "silly white sweet". The brain melon seeds are quite good, although they are not as good as the local tyrant king, but they can always mix in the middle and upper reaches when they are studying in Laoshan Primary School and Laoshan Middle School. Later, he was admitted to the lecture hall with his own ability, and now he is studying in the Wuchang Donghu branch of the lecture hall with the team, and he has excellent grades. It looks like he can be a good general.

But this person's financial quotient is too bad, he doesn't know how to manage money, and he doesn't even bother to manage accounts and money, as if he thinks money is dirty.

Don't say that the royal family is rich all over the world and doesn't need to spend money, this is all because the civil officials fooled the stupid emperor...... There are many places for the royal family to use money, at least in today's Ming Dynasty. An emperor who doesn't know how to manage money and money is difficult to become a wise monarch. Emperor Zhu wanted to turn Jinling Women's University into a financial college, with the purpose of cultivating queens, princesses and wives who are good at financial management for the future Ming monarch (not only the emperor, but also the king and the princes of the vassal state)!
