Hearing that Qing Shu was good at arithmetic, Jian Shu took a pen and paper. She drew five small circles horizontally on the paper, and then added four smaller circles underneath.

Twenty-five circles were put together horizontally and vertically, and Jian Shu blacked out the second circle in the first row: "You can't cross the black dots, you can't repeat, you can't connect diagonally, connect all the circles." ”

Qing Shu thought about it for a while, and then picked up the pen to connect all the circles.

Jian Shu drew another irregular pattern: "If you want to cut it into three pieces to form a square, which is the same length as four sides, what do you say you should do?" ”

Qingshu thought about it for a moment and answered.

"Once upon a time there was a chicken, and there was a cat on the left side of the chicken, and a dog on the right, and a rabbit in front of it, and what was behind the chicken?"

"From."

"What are the delicacies of the mountains and the sea?"

Qingshu knew that this was a test of knowledge: "The delicacies of the mountains and seas are divided into the upper eight treasures, the middle eight treasures and the lower eight treasures. The eight treasures are hump, monkey brain, bear's paw, bird's nest, deer tendon, raccoon lip, yellow lip glue, and chestnut; The eight treasures are shark fin, white fungus, anchovy ......"

After hearing this, Jian Shu smiled and said, "What do you like to eat the most?" ”

Qingshu didn't think about it and said: "Except for monkey brains, they all like to eat." ”

"It seems to be a snack too. Well, it's nice to be so thin if you like to eat. ”

Seeing Qingshu's puzzled face, Fu Ran said with a smile: "Her daughter Yuanyuan also likes to eat, and she eats very round." Shu Shu, do you want to take the test again? ”

Jian Shu smiled and said, "There's no need to take the test, this recommended place will be given to her." ”

In fact, as long as the performance is not too bad, this place will be given to Qingshu. However, she didn't expect that Qingshu's performance exceeded her expectations.

Qingshu was overjoyed: "Thank you, sir." ”

Jian Shu smiled and said: "Yuanyuan likes arithmetic, but today I went to her grandmother's house, otherwise I would have pulled you to talk about it." ”

After the assessment, there is nothing to do next. She sat on the sidelines, quietly listening to the conversation between the two.

After eating, Fu Ran took Qingshu back.

Leaning on the carriage, Qingshu said, "Teacher, is it so difficult to do arithmetic in the entrance exam?" ”

Although she answered it all, it took a lot of time. If all the questions in the exam are like this, she is afraid that she will not be able to finish the questions.

Fu Ran chuckled: "If it's so difficult, few people can get in." Those questions are beyond the scope of the entrance exam. It's because I said you're good at arithmetic, that's why she made it more difficult. ”

"That's good."

After speaking, Qingshu touched his stomach and said, "Mr. Jian's dishes are all sweet, and I am not used to it. ”

The food on Pingzhou is spicy, and the sweet dishes don't go with the rice. In addition, sweet things are easy to gain weight, and Qingshu even eats very few pastries on weekdays.

"It's okay, I'll get used to it slowly."

Qingshu leaned on the carriage, thought about it and asked, "Teacher, why is there a plaque of Jane's Mansion hanging in front of the gate of Mr. Jian's mansion?" ”

Generally speaking, the plaque is the surname of the man with the crown, so the plaque of the Jane's Mansion hanging in the house made Qingshu a little puzzled.

Fu Ran explained: "This house is Jian Shu's dowry, so it is named Jane's surname." She also lives there on weekdays, and only goes back to live during the New Year's holidays or when the Qu family has something to do. ”

"Is the Qu family a famous family?"

Before she came, Mrs. Qi told her something about Jinling. In Jinling, the most famous are the Wang family, the Chu family, the Xie family and the Lu family, and the richest are the Luo family and the Hai family.

Fu Ran shook his head and said, "The Qu family is just an ordinary family, but Jian Shu's husband Qu Gouxun has outstanding painting skills. Once Jinling held a painting competition, Qu Gouxun and Jian Shu participated, and the two became acquainted. In that competition, Qu Gooxun not only won the first place, but also hugged the beauty, becoming the biggest winner. After getting married, the two had a boy and a girl. The daughter is Yuanyuan, and the son went to study at the Baitan Academy in the capital. ”

Speaking of these things, Fu Ran smiled and said: "Qu Gouxun is indifferent to fame and fortune, and only loves to paint. At that time, many people were not optimistic about their union, but she turned out to be the best among us. ”

Qingshu tilted his head sideways and asked, "Teacher, are everyone else having a bad time?" ”

Fu Ran shook his head and said, "It's not that you're having a bad time, it's just that you're not so comfortable." ”

No more, Fu Ran didn't say anything.

When Fu Ran was studying at Jinling Girls' School, in addition to Jian Shu, she had three friends. Two of these three went to foreign posts with their husbands, and one of them married into the Wang family and is now staying in Jinling.

Fu Ran and Qingshu said: "I remember that you have a gold collar, go to Wang's house tomorrow and wear it!" ”

Qingshu nodded and said, "Okay." ”

The Wang family is a wealthy family, and the last thing like this kind of person lacks is a snobbish person. I have to dress shabby, I'm afraid I think they are going to fight the autumn wind.

On the second day, Fu Ran not only wore a set of red gold heads, but also a jade bracelet on his wrist. As for Qingshu, she wore a gold collar.

Fu Ran's classmate and friend Tong Ninglei is married to the Wang family of the four major families, and this big family has many rules.

When they arrived at Wang's house, the two entered through the side door, and then got on the soft sedan chair carried by four Tsing Yi boys. After walking for half an hour, the two arrived at the second gate. Then, a servant woman introduced Tong Ninglei's courtyard.

Qing Shu followed Fu Ran into the house and smelled a refreshing fragrance.

The taste is too strong, and the comfort is a little uncomfortable.

Tong Ninglei stood up and walked in front of them, held Fu Ran's hand and said with a smile: "Ah Ran, you are finally willing to come to Jinling." ”

When Qingshu saw her, he understood why Fu Ran was wearing expensive jewelry.

The third lady of the king was dressed in a bright red gown covered in gold, combed a peony bun, and wore a set of gold silk ruby head, and was dressed very gorgeously.

These jewelry are estimated to weigh a pound, and you are not afraid of neck pain if you wear so much.

Fu Ran said with a smile: "I've always wanted to come to Jinling to visit you, but I really can't get out." ”

Tong Ninglei also had contact with Fu Ran, and she knew about Mrs. Fu's death: "Auntie, this can be regarded as a happy funeral, don't be too sad." ”

Fu Ran nodded, then pointed at Qingshu and said, "This is my student, and I brought her to take the exam this time." ”

Tong Ninglei looked at Qingshu, looked at it and said, "This child is so beautiful, he will definitely be a big beauty when he grows up." ”

Qingshu blushed and lowered his head. In fact, being looked at like this made her feel very uncomfortable, but it was not rude for the teacher to take her to the door as a guest

Tong Ninglei gave Qingshu a beeswax bracelet, and said with a smile: "A little gadget, take it and play with it!" ”

This tone of favor made Qingshu very disgusted.

Fu Ran smiled and said, "Qingshu, since it is a meeting gift from the third lady, you can accept it." ”

Qing Shufu bowed: "Thank you, Third Madame." ”

Yesterday, Jian Shu sent a set of four treasures of the study, which is not as valuable as this beeswax, but Qingshu prefers what Jian Shu sends.
