The Yan family's collection of books is placed by category, Yan Yan happened to stand in front of a row of scientific research scriptures, and ancient books are not like modern books that can see the title on the spine, Yan Yan had to randomly pull out a book, but it happened to be a book of the previous scientific expeditions.

When I was about to put it back, I saw Yan Tong laughing and quipping: "Eldest sister, your interests are getting more and more weird, you actually want to read this kind of book?" Could it be that you plan to take the female champion exam in the future? ”

"Speaking of the female champion, I remembered one thing, my grandmother had praised the eldest sister more than once before, saying that if the eldest sister was a boy, she would definitely be able to take the test and come back." Yan Yu also leaned over and smiled.

"No, if the eldest sister is a boy, she can inherit her grandfather's title, so why do you need to take the test?" Yan Tong refuted.

This reminded Yan Yan that the laws of this dynasty stipulate that the children of the family who can take the title are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, because there is a fixed number of people admitted to the imperial examination, and these descendants have undergone strict screening and careful training since childhood, and their literary talents and martial arts are much stronger than ordinary people, so they will definitely squeeze out other people's indicators when they appear.

This is a bit unfair to ordinary students who study hard in the cold window, because whether it is from the perspective of teachers, family background and experience vision, ordinary students are beyond their reach.

Again, this isn't a good thing for the royal family either, as it means they have fewer available people to admit.

However, those children of the family who do not inherit the title can change their fate through the imperial examination, but there are not many such people, and Yan Yan is not very clear about the reason, but she guesses that it should be related to avoiding suspicion.

After all, in a big family, only the eldest son can inherit the title, and if other children are too good, they will inevitably pose a threat to the eldest son, which may not be a blessing for him.

Thinking of this, Yan Yan thought of Lu You.

The original owner didn't know much about Lu You, but Yan Yan judged from his calligraphy and literary brilliance that this person's IQ was absolutely fine, as for why he couldn't speak, Yan Yan felt that most of it was because he was stimulated by some kind of kidnapping, which caused his autistic tendency and reluctance to communicate with others.

But judging from the fact that he can understand other people's intentions and communicate with others in writing, there is still hope for a cure for his disease.

"Strange, what do I care about?" Yan Yan muttered, quickly shook his head, and threw this Lu You out.

After taking the book, Yan Yan didn't want to stay in the library anymore, she had to go back to draw tricks for Yan Yu.

So, she took the lead and went out and returned to the Shenxingju where she lived with Yan Yu and Yan Tong, and after that, she left Yan Yu and Yan Tong in the hall outside, and lay on the kang table alone to figure out what Yan Yu wanted.

The size of the fan, Yan Yan guessed that she probably wanted to give this fan to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother's birthday was naturally joy-based, therefore, Yan Yan carefully recalled some of the classic fan patterns he had seen, and finally chose a koi picture, the meaning of carp is good, not only more than every year, but also indicates that it can jump the dragon gate, and at the same time, koi fish represent luck in modern times.

Yan Yan has learned a little sketching in modern times, coupled with the painting skills of the original owner, so this carp picture is vivid, just like the real thing, and the most important thing is that Yan Yan painted a total of six large and small koi playing in the water, with slight differences in color and patterns, so she guessed that the Queen Mother would like it.

As for herself, she didn't want to compete for any leadership, so she would honestly stay in the nunnery for a year.

Yan Yu saw the trick given by Yan Yan, first happy, and then surprised, "Sister, your painting is getting better and better, the eyes and tail of this fish seem to move." ”

Yan Tong was also very happy to see it, grinding Yan Yan to paint a picture for her, she wanted to embroider a pair of kang screens on her kang head, Yan Yan was just about to agree, only to see Ma come in.

Ma obviously had something to say to Yan Yan, so when he saw the painting in Yan Yu's hand, he praised Yan Yan twice, and sent the sisters back to embroider the fan.

Seeing this, Yan Yan personally held a cup of tea and served it, and then glanced at Qing He, who went out with Qing Miao.

"Kid, what's going on, you can't speak today?" Ma asked first.

Yan Yan shook his head, tried it, and made a vague and hoarse voice, Ma Shi twisted his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and then sighed, "Child, Mrs. Lu came to see me just now, saying that she wanted to marry you for the eldest man of the Lu family, I know that your uncle will not want to, I want to come to see you first and ask you what you mean." ”

After speaking, Ma Shi paused, "Don't be busy rejecting me first, this is not what I meant, it is the emperor's intention, and it is also the meaning of the Lu family." I know that you are a strong person, otherwise you would not have heard that the Lu family had withdrawn from the family, so he found a few feet of white silk and hung himself up. But child, you are a person who has died once, and you tell your aunt that it is really better to die than to live? ”

Yan Yan shook her head, she didn't know what it was like for the original owner to hang herself, but she remembered the discomfort when she drowned, and the pain was really indescribable.

Seeing Yan Yan shaking his head, the expression on his face softened a little, and he reached out and touched Yan Yan's head, "That's good, you listen to your aunt tell you, although the eldest son of the Lu family has a hidden disease, according to Mrs. Lu, he just stutters badly, which does not affect his normal life, by the way, your uncle can also testify to this, I guess you also read the piece of paper that your uncle gave you yesterday." Child, you don't know, but if there is a little other way, I am a hundred people who don't want you to go to the nunnery, whose child is so old and willing to be sent to that kind of place to suffer? The reason why my aunt agreed to let you go to the nunnery was because my aunt thought that no one would ask to marry you in the short term. Now that the Lu family has shown their sincerity, the aunt thinks about yourself, and thinks that marrying the Lu family is a hundred times stronger than being a monk. Of course, maybe you think that becoming a monk is temporary, and after two years, the rumors have passed, and the old lady will make decisions for you and pick a good family affair, but have you thought about it, and then pick, can you have a high threshold for the Lu family? Besides, paper can't contain fire, and this matter must not be hidden, in this world, which man is willing to tolerate his wife who has such a stain? ”

Seeing that Yan Yan lowered his head and didn't squeak, Ma Shi continued: "My aunt thinks that instead of letting you take the risk of marrying a stranger who can't hold your head up for the rest of your life, it is better to marry the eldest son of the Lu family, he really wants to atone for his sins, and he will definitely hold you in the palm of his hand after getting married." ”

These words successfully made Yan Yan raise her head, and she was very curious about what caused Ma to change his mind overnight.
