Chapter 24: The Cultural Meeting (2)
Xie Yunxi held back her sulk, and it was inconvenient to get angry in front of everyone, and her face was really not good-looking. Xie Mingxi's expression was calm, with a smile on his lips.
Comparing the two, the superiority is immediate.
The difference between the Xie Mingxi sisters can be seen by anyone with eyes.
This is also inevitable.
The inner courtyard and back house of any house have to fight openly and secretly. Between sisters and sisters, where can there be harmony? It's just that Xie Yunxi, as a sister-in-law, did not gain the upper hand, but was steadily suppressed by Xie Mingxi. It's rare......
I just don't know, is Xie Mingxi's talent and learning up to the sharp tongue?
Li Xiangru's inquiring gaze fell on Xie Mingxi, and before he could open his mouth to speak, Yin Xiaoxiao had already asked with a curious smile: "Is Third Sister Xie also going to the Lotus Pond Academy?" ”
Xie Mingxi smiled and replied, "I am ten years old this year, and I am just qualified to apply for the Lotus Pond Academy. My mother had already signed up for me, and I couldn't afford to give it a try, so I had to try my best. ”
Yin Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and smiled brightly: "Okay, let's all take the test." Maybe they will be classmates this year. ”
Sheng Jinyue snorted lightly, glanced at Xie Mingxi, and said pointedly: "I heard that there are five hundred people who have applied for the Lotus Pond Academy this year, and only the top ten have been admitted. That's 1 out of 50. If you don't have real talent and real learning, you will go in vain. ”
Xie Mingxi calmly picked up the conversation: "What Cousin Jinyue said is extremely true. Cousin Jinyue might as well invite her grandfather directly into the palace and ask for a place for admission without examination. The entrance exam of Lianchi Academy, you don't have to go. ”
Anyway, it's in vain.
……
Yin Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing, and burst out laughing.
A smile flashed in Li Xiangru's eyes.
Xiao Yuhan and the others also pursed their lips and chuckled.
Sheng Jinyue got up suddenly, her face was flushed, she stretched out her hand and pointed at Xie Mingxi, her voice was full of anger: "You dare to contemptuously mock me!" She has been pampered in the house since she was a child, and she has also developed an arrogant and wanton temperament. There are sisters in the house, and everyone lets her.
For the sake of Huainan Palace, a group of girls also gave a lot to her.
embarrassed her in person, Xie Mingxi was the first!
Xie Yunxi was very familiar with Sheng Jinyue's temperament and temper, and when she saw her like this, her heart tightened, and she glanced at Xie Mingxi again and again.
Why don't you bow your head and apologize?
Xie Mingxi was a little surprised: "Second sister, what's wrong with your eyes?" Could it be that you have cramps? ”
Xie Yunxi: "......"
Xie Mingxi looked at Sheng Jinyue who was embarrassed and angry: "I just spoke according to Cousin Jinyue's wishes, why is Cousin Jinyue so angry?" ”
"How precious are the places to be admitted without entrance examinations! Only my grandfather is qualified to enter the palace to ask for help! Others are envious, but they can't be envious. Cousin Jinyue fell here in a state of displeasure, for some reason? ”
What else can it be for?
It's not about fighting for this idle breath!
The girls thought to themselves, as usual, no one played the round.
Sheng Jinyue is narrow-minded and arrogant. When I get along with them on weekdays, I often show a superior arrogance. The girls hindered the prestige of the Huainan Palace, and tolerated a little bit, how could they not mind in their hearts?
Now seeing Sheng Jinyue embarrassed and ugly, the girls don't know how happy they are. There was no one to break the siege.
Sheng Jinyue was already impulsive and irritable, and was provoked by Xie Mingxi's words, where could she still hold back, and said through gritted teeth: "Let me tell you, I, Sheng Jinyue, want to be admitted to Lotus Pond Academy with my own talents!" If I can't pass the exam, I won't ask for this place to study without the exam! ”
Xie Mingxi looked admiring: "Cousin Jinyue's high wind and bright festival is really admirable!" ”
Girls: "......"
What a big pit!
Sheng Jinyue actually jumped in like this!
It's ...... There are no words to describe it!
Sheng Jinyue didn't realize that she had been pitted once, and raised her head complacently: "A few of you have heard it today." I'm Sheng Jinyue! Just wait and see! I'm going to be admitted to Lotus Pond Academy! ”
The girls silently exchanged a knowing look, and then laughed together: "Okay, okay, then we will wait for the good news of Sister Sheng's high school." ”
Sheng Jinyue continued to be complacent: "I will definitely set up a banquet and invite you to come to the door as guests." ”
Girls: "......"
Never mind! Don't say anything.
Wait to see the joke!
Even Xie Yunxi kept his mouth shut.
……
Li Xiangru coughed lightly, and when everyone's attention was focused on himself, he smiled slightly: "Today is a literary meeting, so we will each come to solve the problem." If you can guess one or two questions from the Lotus Pond Academy, it will also be a pleasure. ”
The girls happily agreed.
Sheng Jinyue had already prepared, and immediately ordered someone to bring a flower raft and put a stack in front of everyone.
Xie Yunxi remembered the advice of the county lord of Yongning, and immediately said apologetically: "I'm really sorry. I accidentally hit my wrist two days ago, and I couldn't lift a pen. It is necessary to rest for a few days, so as not to affect the entrance examination of Lianchi Academy in a few days. ”
The crowd would not force it, and they said, "Since this is the case, you will rest for a long time." ”
Xie Mingxi also said apologetically: "I hurt my wrist like my second sister, and I can't lift a pen today." ”
Xie Yunxi: "......"
Girls: "......"
This excuse is too insincere!
Anyway, make up a decent one!
Sheng Jinyue's eyes were full of mockery: "I don't even dare to write in public, could it be that the handwriting is too ugly and unsightly?" ”
Xie Mingxi didn't argue, and smiled faintly.
Xie Yunxi was a little more nervous than Xie Mingxi, cleared his throat and said, "It's not. The third sister did hurt her wrist like me. ”
Sheng Jinyue pursed her lips, turned her head away, and smiled at Li Xiangru: "Sister Li has only learned well, and she will be able to bet on the question today." I'll take a closer look at it later. ”
Li Xiangru pursed her lips and smiled: "We have limited to one stick of incense, each of us will bet on the problem, and then solve the problem together." ”
The time of a stick of incense is not short, and it is not long.
All the girls are arrogant, and they all secretly have a long and short mind. One by one, I put pen to paper and thought about it again and again, and then I began to put pen to paper.
……
The past examination questions of Lianchi Academy have long been compiled into a book, and the price is extremely high.
The nobles who are interested in being admitted to the Lotus Pond Academy must have a set in the house.
The entrance exam at Hasuike Academy takes a full day. It is necessary to test the four books and five classics, five words and eight rhymes, arithmetic and miscellaneous studies, as well as policy theory, which is similar to the imperial examination of the imperial court. The amount of questions is less than half, although the difficulty is not as high as the township examination, compared to Songzhu and other men's academies, it is not much better.
The literary style of Daqi is prosperous, and the official eunuchs and daughters are all literate and read. It's just that those who can really be admitted to Lotus Pond Academy are all famous ladies.
At this time, all the girls who were concentrating on it were enlightened and educated since childhood, and were raised by the family carefully and strictly. Where can ordinary ladies be compared?
Xie Yunxi was impetuous, looking left and right.
Xie Mingxi sat as steady as a mountain, calm and relaxed.
