Chapter 152: Unashamed
Three people were squeezed in.
It's really crowded.
Wang Xiaoqing supported the old lady.
Grandma worked hard.
Mrs. Wang and her granddaughter muttered.
"What are you going to do?"
"Grandma, what can I do? This is not a great opportunity to make our paper famous. β
Wang Xiaoqing's mind is now full of making money, and this silver is shining.
"With so many scholars taking exams here, if your father might be able to make a name for himself, how can the three of us make a name for ourselves here?"
Mrs. Wang was so angry that she couldn't do it.
It's no wonder that Mrs. Wang said this, and she didn't look at the surrounding people, and the entrance of Xiaoshan Academy was crowded with green mountain coats.
It doesn't matter if it's old or young.
A Confucian dressed up.
Even if there were onlookers, everyone was looking at the three of them from a distance.
It's so crowded in a bunch of scholars, it's particularly eye-catching!
Wang Xiaoqing shrunk his neck.
The eyes of the surrounding scholars were also full of doubts and curiosity, and there were all kinds of inquiring eyes looking at the three of them.
The main reason is that everyone is here to take the exam, and they are lining up one by one.
The three of them squeezed in, and they just happened to be at the front.
It's like three ducks suddenly appearing in a pile of swans.
"Everybody come here one by one."
But before everyone could question anything, the door of the academy had already opened, and an old gentleman came out and began to greet everyone.
All the scholars couldn't bother to figure out what was going on with the three of them, and everyone immediately flocked forward.
"Don't worry, don't worry. Our exam is a two-step process. β
"There's a book case here. The mountain chief has already set the exam questions. Everyone either wrote poems, or lyrics, or wrote an article. Anyway, it's good to show your own skills, and the top ten mountain chiefs who finally win will be personally assessed and selected five to enter Xiaoshan Academy to study. β
All of a sudden, all the scholars began to get busy, and Wang Xiaoqing's surroundings were empty all of a sudden.
One by one, they lined up in front of the bookcase, writing hard or contemplating.
Wang Xiaoqing was discouraged this time, she didn't have time to put her ideas into practice.
People's pen, ink, paper, and inkstones are all ready, and they are all busy with exams now, who can take care of her paper.
Could it be that you have the wrong idea?
But for consumer goods such as rice paper, the target group is only these readers, even if you want to sell it to ordinary people, ordinary people don't need it first, and second, it's too expensive.
The potential consumer group is these scholars in front of them.
Moreover, according to the words of the Huang scholar he met on the road, this Xiaoshan Academy is famous in the Great Yan Kingdom.
They don't know because they don't involve this circle and naturally don't know.
Since this Xiaoshan Academy is so famous, once its paper is famous here, it is equivalent to making a name for itself all over the country.
What a great opportunity!
It's better to leave without doing anything?
No way!
Wang Xiaoqing is not a person who gives up halfway, and without great perseverance, she can't study medicine.
She's still here today.
The sun soon passed noon.
Although it was already August, the weather was still very hot at noon.
The works of the scholars have been transcribed very quickly.
Everyone didn't disperse.
Whispering around here, waiting for the final results to come out, who doesn't want to know if they have the luck to make it to the final interview.
Then a big red list was posted, and immediately everyone was pointing in the distance.
And the top ten papers were also posted, seemingly to convince everyone, because the reputation of Xiaoshan Academy did not allow them to do favoritism.
Wang Xiaoqing glanced at it.
This slip of ten sheets is all articles.
She couldn't understand the words of this text, after all, it was an ancient text.
However, at this moment, her heart moved.
"The first place is actually Wang Qijiang, this article is so good. Sure enough, he lived up to the reputation of the young champion, the writing is really good, the rhetoric is gorgeous, and we are fortunate to see such an article. β
"Look at the second place, the third place is all from our Hongdu. Zhang Duo and Zhang Qi and their two brothers heard that they were young talents. It is said that this year's autumn will come to an end. The two were only 13 years old. β
"These top ten are almost all the top geniuses of our Great Yan Kingdom."
"It's an eye-opener."
"But I don't think their articles are very good."
A very discordant voice that made everyone angry.
"Don't be ashamed."
An old showman flicked his sleeves and glanced angrily in the direction in which he was speaking.
Everyone's eyes were extremely high, and they saw a very handsome boy.
This kid is indeed handsome, and although he looks young, he already has a handsome look between his eyebrows and eyes.
Once it grows up, it must also be a graceful and beautiful son.
"Little brother, this is not your yard, hurry up and go home, this is not the place you should come. I'm afraid you don't even know a few big words, right? What articles are good to understand and what articles are not good? β
Seeing that it was an ordinarily dressed peasant who opened his mouth, all the scholars couldn't help but laugh.
After all, they are not the same as the peasants, and they naturally have a noble status.
If it weren't for Wang Xiaoqing's pretty handsome, I'm afraid the mean language would have come out long ago.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's true that I haven't read many books, but I just think that these articles are not as good as my father's articles. Can't you even tell the truth now? β
Wang Xiaoqing's big black eyes looked straight at everyone.
There are three black lines on the heads of all the scholars.
"Boy, who is your father? I can come to take the exam today, so that we can all see his articles. β
The old gentleman who presided over the exam couldn't bear to blame this kid when he looked at it, after all, this is a child, and he must have been a little sad to see his father fall off the list, so he said that he was upset for his father.
Every year during the exam, there will always be some people who are upset with their friends and relatives, which is very normal, after all, no one is convinced.
There is a father who reads, and this child must be literate.
"My father is Wang Pengfei, a child from Stone Village, Huaihua County. He didn't come to take the test, and my dad said it was just for grandstanding. He was immersed in reading at home. β
Wang Xiaoqing said in her heart, Dad, you can be your daughter's shield.
"Hehe, boy, you're a bit of a big talker, your father is just a child, and he hasn't come to take the exam yet. How can it be said that his article is stronger than everyone else's article here, isn't it a bit too far-fetched.
And you're too good at putting gold on your dad's face. β
Everyone has a smile on their faces.
Everyone thought that this kid was just too naΓ―ve and thought it was too easy to take this kind of exam, so he came forward to fight for his father.
Just for this kid's arrogant and frivolous appearance, I'm afraid I won't recognize a few words when I read.
"Do you understand those articles?"
Someone quipped.
Wang Xiaoqing shook his head and said sincerely, "I have only been reading with my father for half a year, and I know a lot of words, and there are many words that I don't know very well." β
This is the truth, the ones she knows are all simplified characters, and many of them are indeed unrecognizable after the fonts become traditional characters here.
She actually became illiterate when she got here.
Who can know the bitterness in her heart.
