When the answer was revealed, Zhao Ruxi was not interested in it, and yawned: "Prepare water, I'm going to take a bath and sleep." ”

Over the course of a few months, she has changed from a night owl to a person who works at sunrise and rests at sunset. Terrible.

Although there was no Internet in ancient times, the transmission speed of gossip was not slow at all.

The next day, Zhao Ruxi went to Bac Ninh Girls' Academy to take the exam, and heard her classmates who usually worked hard talking about last night's auction.

"Zhiwei, did you go to the auction with Mr. Deadwood last night? I heard that one of Mr. Deadwood's paintings sold for 25,000 taels of silver, is it true? Someone saw Zhao Ruxi coming in and immediately asked.

"Go. Yes. Zhao Ruxi smiled and nodded, "It's very lively." ”

Everyone looked at her with envy and asked her for details.

Zhao Ruxi said simply.

"It's a pity we can't go and see the excitement."

The classmate was very sorry and asked, "I also heard that at the end of the auction, the auction house gave each guest a piece of silk. The silk is very beautiful, the flower is printed, the color is bright, and it does not fade. Did you receive it? Is it really not fading? ”

The effect of this advertisement is really carriable.

Zhao Ruxi said: "When I got home last night and saw the satin, I asked the maid to put it in the basin and wash it, it really doesn't fade, and the color on it is very good-looking, it's really good to make a skirt, and there is no need to embroider." ”

They are all little girls, and they are even more excited to hear the news than Zhao Ruxi said about the auction process.

Another classmate asked, "Where are these silks sold, do you know what?" ”

"I see that the box is engraved with the words 'Jinyunfang', which should be sold by this shop. If you want, you can send someone to the capital to inquire, this shop should be on the most lively streets in the south of the city, maybe next to the auction house. Last night, it was dark, and I didn't pay attention to it. ”

Like this kind of shop that sells high-end silk and satin, it is impossible for Xiao Lingyan to sell it in the west and north of the city; The shop can't be located in a corner.

Others can't buy a shop in a good location in the capital, and it shouldn't be difficult for him and Xiao Lingpu, the two princes, to buy or rent this kind of shop. They don't have it themselves, but the Cen family always has it.

"You don't have to send someone to go, I'll go myself tomorrow. I studied at the academy and hadn't gone shopping for a long time. Today's annual exam is over and it's a holiday, so I have to go shopping. ”

"I'll go, I'll go."

Hearing these little girls chattering about where to go shopping tomorrow and where to have good rouge gouache, Zhao Ruxi had a feeling of returning to a modern classroom.

There are also those who are not interested in these topics, and they think that their classmates are too noisy to affect her reading, so they shouted at everyone: "It's not early, the exam is coming soon, don't you all need to warm your books?" ”

As soon as they heard the word "exam", everyone immediately dispersed, returned to their positions, picked up the book and read it.

At the beginning of the year, Mrs. Cui came in, and with her came two middle-aged women with serious expressions.

"This is Mrs. Zhang, and this is Mrs. Tao. They are all stewards of the Beijing Women's Academy. Today's exam is supervised by them. Mrs. Cui introduced.

After Mrs. Cui finished introducing, one of the women in dark purple clothes said, "I'm Steward Zhang." After the application of the eldest princess of Shangde, the test papers used in the annual examination of your academy are the same set of questions as the annual examination of the Beijing Women's Academy. ”

Steward Zhang glanced at the following people: "In order to prevent cheating, Concubine Jin Niangniang specially sent me and Steward Tao to supervise the exam." Everyone knows that since the establishment of our girls' college, the most important thing is virtue......"

She talked about discipline for a quarter of an hour before nodding to Steward Tao: "Alright, let's get started." ”

Steward Tao motioned for the person she brought to open the sealed test paper, handed it to Steward Zhang and let her take a look, and then let people send it down.

When Steward Zhang was talking about discipline, Zhao Ruxi stared at Mrs. Cui intently.

Zhao Ruxi has never been a person who only cares about pulling a car with his head down and doesn't care about looking up at the road. After she entered the North Courtyard of the Women's Academy, whether it was Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Chen, or the mother-in-law who guarded the door, they all made good friends, and she inquired about the affairs of the academy clearly.

Because the relationship between the eldest princess and Concubine Jin is not harmonious, even though the Bac Ninh Women's Academy is very close to the Beijing Women's Academy, the annual examination is all separate test papers, and there has never been a set of questions.

Now that the eldest princess of Shangde actually went to bow her head to Concubine Jin, proposed to share a set of topics with others, and had to accept the high-minded supervisor sent by the Beijing Women's Academy, Zhao Ruxi seriously suspected that this was Mrs. Cui's idea.

Because in the past two months, she has been the first in the monthly and monthly exams, and basically won the top spot with a perfect score, Princess Shangde and Mrs. Cui's hearts swelled, and they may have the idea of taking her out to compete with the Beijing Women's Academy.

After Mrs. Cui came in, she introduced the identities of the two of them, and stood there as a set board. As a result, he was stunned by Zhao Ruxi's burning gaze at this time, and he was uncomfortable.

She simply lowered her head and stared at the ground.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Ruxi became more and more sure of his conjecture.

There were not many students in Class A of the North Academy, and even if Zhao Ruxi was sitting in the back, the test papers were quickly sent to her.

She retracted her mind and began to concentrate on answering the questions.

At this point, she had to go all out to earn face for Princess Shangde and Mrs. Cui.

In order to highlight the idea of "who says that women are inferior to men", the questions and forms of the monthly and annual examinations of the women's college basically refer to the standards of the children's examination, and one test is one day. The college provides a meal, and the candidates have to go to the toilet and be followed by their mother-in-law.

In the past month, Zhao Ruxi basically took half a day to complete the exam, handed in the papers in advance, and after handing in the papers, he could go back to his small courtyard to have a beautiful lunch.

This time, there were people from the Beijing Women's Academy, and she didn't want to do too much.

If there is really someone in the Beijing Women's Academy who is better than her, or if the Beijing Women's Academy deliberately presses her score during the marking of the papers, making her inferior to the candidates of the Beijing Women's Academy, and she loses in this competition, maybe the people of the Beijing Women's Academy will make a fuss about her submitting the papers in advance.

She deliberately slowed down, weighed the answer and considered it again, and then took up the pen and wrote it carefully, making sure that the words were written very neatly and beautifully.

Although this kind of examination is based on the rules of the children's examination, the examination paper is not ambiguous. And depending on the situation, when their test papers are handed in, they must be sent to the Beijing Women's Academy for correction. In order to preserve the reputation of the Beijing Women's Academy and maintain their transcendent status, no matter how notarized the examiners, they will also subconsciously favor the Beijing Women's Academy, and the examination papers of the Bac Ninh Women's Academy will be more stringent.

Therefore, she should try her best to write standard and perfect answers, and the handwriting should be neat, so that people do not have the opportunity to deduct points.
