Chapter 34: Going to the Examination (1)

As expected.

Xie Jun did not show up today.

Last night, he swore that he would support his daughter, but after listening to the words of the county lord of Yongning, he changed his mind and shrank his head...... No matter how thick-skinned Xie Jun is, he has no face to face Xie Mingxi today.

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Xie Mingxi's eyes.

Xie Yunxi, who had been carefully dressed, was as delicate as a colorful butterfly, and came to Xie Mingxi's side, with a rare pleasant face: "Third sister, are your pen, ink, paper, inkstone and food box ready?" ”

Xie Mingxi raised the corners of his mouth with a smile: "There is an inquiry from Second Sister Lao, and they are all ready." ”

Xie Yunxi firmly remembered the advice of the county lord of Yongning. No matter how cynical Xie Mingxi is today, he can't bear it for the time being. At this time, I was angry, so I had to be patient, and continued to smile: "I have prepared two copies, and I will give you one copy." ”

"No need!" Xie Mingxi didn't appreciate it at all: "I don't use other people's pen and ink, and I don't eat the food prepared by others." ”

Xie Yunxi: "......"

Take a deep breath!

Bear with me!

Xie Mingxi's gaze swept over Xie Yunxi's face, and he chuckled: "Second sister has such a good temper today, it's really surprising." ”

Take one more deep breath!

Keep endure!

Xie Mingxi said slowly: "Today, the candidates of Lotus Pond Academy are like clouds. There is no shortage of noble girls who are full of poetry and books. The second sister must remember to keep her mouth shut, and pretend to be a talented woman. lest it be seen as an embroidered pillow. ”

Take one more deep breath!

Xie Yunxi's face was flushed, and the sparks in his eyes were almost ejecting out.

Xie Mingxi admired it for a moment, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the figure of the county lord of Yongning, smiled slightly, and stopped.

……

On March 15, all six colleges will have entrance exams for new students.

In terms of the number of candidates, there is no one more than Boyu College. Most of the civilian students applied for the Boyu Academy, and I heard that there were 800 applicants this year, and 40 were finally admitted. That's one out of twenty.

Derun Cihu is slightly inferior, with the number of applicants around 500, and 20 people are admitted each. The New Confucian Academy was the last, with the smallest number of applicants, only more than 300 people, and finally 30 people were admitted. One out of ten, the highest acceptance rate among the six colleges.

Shochiku Academy is known as the Royal Academy, and only the children of officials above the third rank are eligible to register. Even if it is a royal family, it also depends on the level of the title. The conditions are so harsh that only more than 100 people are eligible to sign up. Ten people were finally taken.

In terms of acceptance rate, Lianchi Academy's 1 out of 50 is the most staggering.

On this day, the carriage outside the Lotus Pond Academy to deliver the exam discharged several alleys. No matter how noble the identity is, it is useless. You can only get off the carriage and walk to the college.

At this time, it was only five watches. The carriage of the Yongning County Lord's Mansion came early, and it was also lined up a mile away.

The county lord of Yongning had already prepared, but he was not annoyed, and took the lead in getting out of the carriage.

Xie Yunxi and Xie Mingxi also got off the carriage.

The carriages with the markings of each province were lined up quite neatly, and the ladies in gorgeous clothes and exquisite makeup led their daughters of the right age, regardless of decency, and hurried forward.

This kind of scene is always played out on March 15 every year.

There are many familiar faces among them. The ladies smiled and nodded as they walked quickly. Still, no one stopped talking.

The same is true for the county lord of Yongning.

The county lord of Yongning whispered as he walked: "Yun Niang, I can only send you outside the academy." Once you have verified your identity and received your examination badge, you will have to enter the college by yourself. Remember to bring pen and ink and a food box. Write carefully, don't panic and mess up. ”

The last four words are profoundly meaningful.

This is a reminder to Xie Yunxi. She has already bought the inspector master with a lot of money, so there is no need to panic.

There were fine beads of sweat on Xie Yunxi's forehead, I don't know if it was because he was walking quickly, or because he was nervous about the upcoming exam. Hearing this, he snorted heavily.

The corner of the county lord of Yongning swept away, and he secretly hated Xie Yunxi for not being angry.

Look at Xie Mingxi, not slow, his expression is calm, and he is not frightened at all. In comparison, Xie Yunxi, the sister-in-law, has become a coward......

In the end, it either came out of her belly, or it was raised for eleven years, and her temperament was not like her. At the critical moment, it shows the weakness and mediocrity inherited from the biological mother.

The county lord of Yongning exhaled a turbid breath and pressed down the thoughts that had flashed in his mind.

Lotus Pond Academy has arrived!

……

Lianchi Academy and Songzhu Academy are adjacent to each other, separated by only one wall.

Shochiku Shoin opens the east gate and is facing the direction of the Imperial Palace. The Lotus Pond Academy opened the south gate. In this way, the people who come to drop off the test can be staggered and not overcrowded.

Songzhu Academy covers an area of more than 200 acres, with a two-meter-high wall, which surrounds Songzhu Academy.

The Lotus Pond Academy is slightly smaller and is also separated by a high wall. Standing outside the academy, you can't get a glimpse of the situation in the academy.

The plaque of the Lotus Pond Academy was written by Empress Yu herself.

Empress Yu was famous all over the world in her early years, especially in calligraphy. The four words of Lotus Pond Academy, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, the edge is revealed. Seeing words is like seeing people, and the pride of Queen Yu can also be seen.

Standing outside the Lotus Pond Academy, Xie Mingxi's heart swelled with a subtle and indescribable feeling.

In her previous life, she spent four years at Lotus Pond Academy.

In the past four years, she has exhausted her glory and made a "companion reading" for Xie Yunxi, bearing the contempt and isolation of everyone. For her, there are few good memories left.

Except for the six princesses.

In this life, she stood here again.

It's just that, this time, she doesn't live for anyone anymore.

Lotus Pond Academy.

I'm Xie Mingxi, I'm back!

……

Xie Yunxi's exclamation sounded in his ears: "Is this really written by the queen mother?" The pen is sharp and majestic, even a man is inferior. ”

It is rare for Xie Yunxi to be able to say such insightful words.

However, Queen Yu's handwriting is indeed excellent, and she has the demeanor of everyone.

Xie Mingxi's gaze swept over.

The county lord of Yongning didn't know what he thought, and a look of remembrance flashed in his eyes. After a moment of silence, she said lightly: "The queen mother had the reputation of being the first talent in the capital when she was young. ”

Xie Yunxi was stunned: "Why is it a genius?" ”

Shouldn't it be a talented girl?

Empress Yu once disguised herself as a man and took the entrance examination of Songzhu Academy, winning the first place in one fell swoop. After that, he studied at Songzhu Academy for a few years, and overshadowed Emperor Jianwen, who was the crown prince back then.

Until the age of Jilu, the young Yu Lianchi dropped out of school due to illness, and then "died of serious illness." ”

The Yu family lacks a son named Yu Lianchi, but there is a crown princess.

The matter involves the love entanglement of the emperor when he was young, and there are actually quite a few people who know about it, but no one dares to mention it at will. Because of this, Xie Yunxi was a little stunned when he heard the word genius.

A hint of gloom flashed in the eyes of the Lord of Yongning County, and he avoided answering: "Hurry up and line up." ”

Xie Yunxi responded, leaving some doubts behind.

Xie Mingxi's face was silent, but he was quietly suspicious in his heart.
