The sun is rising.

The light is getting brighter and brighter.

The bright sunlight fell on the exam papers, flashing almost dazzling light and shadow.

There was silence in the examination room.

Gu Shanchang sat upright like a mountain, standing still.

The five masters who inspected the examination had solemn eyebrows, and their sharp eyes kept sweeping over the candidates.

None of the candidates dared to raise their heads. Or bury your head in hard thinking, or write hard, or full of sadness, or confident, or suffer from gains and losses, or full of self-confidence. It's like a silent pantomime, showing the candidates' various forms.

Xie Yunxi is the type of thinking hard.

Xie Mingxi was calm and calm.

There are four copies of the examination paper, plus four copies of scratch paper.

Since it cannot be corrected, each paper must be completed on scratch paper. Then re-transcribe.

In this way, each of the four papers should be done twice. A day is not a lot of time. Therefore, after all candidates get the test papers, they immediately look at the questions and do the questions, and no one dares to hesitate.

The first test of the scriptures is mainly based on memorizing the four books and the five classics. This test paper is the easiest and easiest. A girl who has the courage to apply for the Lianchi Academy is familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics, and it is not difficult to do this test paper.

The second paper is about poetry and songs. It is not difficult to complete the exam paper, but it is not easy to write brilliantly.

The third paper is an examination of arithmetic and miscellaneous. This test paper tests knowledge, insight and talent, and it also stumps most candidates.

It's halfway through the hour, and it's almost noon. Most of the candidates finished one or two exam papers and frowned at the third exam paper.

As for the fourth examination paper, I don't have time to read it.

Boom!

Ji Fuzi suddenly appeared and struck the gong in his hand: "Stop writing and rest for half an hour." ”

The candidates breathed a sigh of relief and put their pens down.

……

During this half hour, you can drink some prepared tea, eat some snacks to relieve your hunger, and you can also go to clean your hands. A group of 10 candidates will be accompanied by the examiner throughout the process. Don't look at each other and don't talk in a low voice.

Xie Mingxi got up slowly.

Xie Yunxi had been staring at her movements, and as soon as she moved, Xie Yunxi raised her hand without thinking. Only when it is convenient to go together can there be an opportunity to get close to talk.

I held it for a long time, just waiting for this moment!

The master nodded, Xie Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly got up and stood in the team.

Then, I saw Xie Mingxi twist his wrist and sit down again.

Xie Yunxi: "......"

Xie Yunxi's eyes were about to pop out.

Yin Xiaoxiao coughed lightly and reminded in a low voice, "The master is watching you." ”

Xie Yunxi swallowed a mouthful of old blood in his throat and thought through gritted teeth. When I go back, I will definitely file a complaint with my mother.

After Xie Yunxi came back, Xie Mingxi raised his hand.

Xie Yunxi watched Xie Mingxi leave with a smile.

Coincidentally, Li Xiangru is also on the same team.

Taking advantage of the time to clean his hands, Li Xiangru quietly approached Xie Mingxi's side, lowered his voice and snorted coldly: "Xie Mingxi, you dare to secretly harm me, I can't spare you!" ”

Xie Mingxi's white little face showed a little panic, and he shouted timidly: "Master, Miss Li's words are forced, let me tell her the answer to the last question of arithmetic!" ”

Li Xiangru: "......"

Li Xiangru was so stunned that he was about to vomit out a mouthful of blood.

The master frowned, walked over with a cold face, and his eyes swept over Li Xiangru's pretty face like a blade: "What she said is true?" ”

Li Xiangru was full of grievances, tears rolling in his eyes: "Of course not." I have studied arithmetic since I was a child, and no girl of my age can beat me. How could I possibly come and ask her for the answer! ”

"Xie Mingxi clearly framed me on purpose!"

Li Xiangru was from a prominent background, and after hearing the word Li, this master guessed that this was the granddaughter of Li Gelao. The balance in his heart subconsciously tilted towards Li Xiangru, and his gaze swept over Xie Mingxi: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Xie Mingxi looked helpless: "Back to Master, I had a relationship with Miss Li. Miss Li knew that I was good at arithmetic and was not very sure of my answer, so she came to ask me. ”

"She had no intention of plagiarizing and just wanted to match me with a pair of answers. It's just that this doesn't conform to the rules of the academy exam, and I'd rather turn my face and annoy her than dare to say more. I beg the Master to be wise! ”

This statement is so reasonable!

Xie Mingxi's beautiful and beautiful face was particularly sincere, and there was a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Whoever listens will not be suspicious.

The fellow candidates all looked at Li Xiangru with disapproval. Even the master thought that Li Xiang had the intention of checking the answer. frowned slightly: "This time, I won't take it as an example!" ”

Li Xiang was speechless, and his eyes were red with anger.

Xie Mingxi said apologetically: "Miss Li, I can't stand you." When the exam is over, I will definitely come to the door to apologize. ”

Such a generous demeanor made the master quite satisfied. The eyes of the candidates also showed admiration and approval.

Tears welled up in Li Xiangru's eyes.

The beam of the two is officially concluded!

……

Bullying an eleven-year-old girl, Xie Mingxi felt no guilt and was quite happy.

After returning to the position, I opened the food box, ate the four pieces of dim sum cleanly, and drank a glass of warm water. Close your eyes and take a break to refresh yourself.

Boom!

Three more gongs!

Half an hour is up, and the exam continues.

The spring days are a little longer, and there are still two hours before the harvest, so there is no need to be anxious.

Xie Mingxi finished the arithmetic on the scratch paper, carefully checked it, confirmed that it was correct, and then looked at the last test paper.

On a flat piece of paper, there are only two lines of words.

It is a man who gives birth to a bed, a bed to sleep, a garment to wear, and a zhang to play.

It is a place of birth, a place of sleep, a cloth of clothes, and a tile of play.

Sure enough, it's still this policy.

These four test papers were all produced by Empress Yu herself.

This last argument is actually out of line. According to the practice of the imperial examination, most of the questions in the policy discussion asked about the current affairs of the court, or civil and agricultural affairs. However, Queen Yu's sword was biased, and there was such a problem.

The saying of making Zhang and making tiles comes from the Book of Songs.

Men make zhang, women make tiles. From birth, men have a much higher status than women.

Past and present, it is justified.

What is the intention of Empress Yu's policy? Or, what kind of problem-solving does Queen Yu want to see?

Xie Mingxi looked at these two lines silently, and the thoughts in his heart fluctuated, and it was difficult to calm down.

The entrance exam in the previous life was precisely this question.

At that time, she was young and knowledgeable, and she had no experience. With excellent writing and a good handwriting, he was able to stand out. In the end, he was mediocre because of the problem, and he was defeated by Li Xiangru.

Li Xiang was the first place, and Xie Mingxi took the second ...... Xie Yunxi was admitted to Lianchi Academy with the second place.

At this time, sitting at the examination table, she was no longer an ignorant and naïve Xie Mingxi. All kinds of past lives have left a deep imprint on her body and heart. Looking at this policy again, my heart is full of thoughts.

Xie Mingxi took the pen, and it fell on the paper like a cloud.
