Chapter 15: Another slap in the face
When Zhu Huazhang said this, many onlookers turned their heads and ears. It's really a little girl who can calculate such a calculation, which seems too unbelievable to them.
And although Zhu Huating was kicked out of the house by Mrs. Zhu, who can say for sure what the relationship between the father and son is?
Mrs. Zhu couldn't wipe her face, so she asked her son to go home directly, and secretly told her eldest son the answer, and it was possible for their father and daughter to come and get an industry to make a living.
Most of the onlookers began to have this kind of speculation, and their eyes changed a little when they looked at Zhu Huating.
The Zhu family, who thought of going with these people, also had different expressions on their faces.
Especially the second uncle Zhu Huazhang.
If Zhu Huating is loved by the old man again, then the matter will be in big trouble!
Zhu Youning saw everyone's performance in his eyes, although her ability was doubted, it was also a good thing to be able to change their situation.
"Second uncle, you are an adult, my cousins have not done such an ugly thing when they lost to me, why are you like this? What's more, this question was written by my grandfather, I live outside the house, and my grandfather and cousin live in the house, so can I also say that my grandfather leaked the exam questions to my cousin in advance? ”
Zhu Huazhang came back to his senses and scolded angrily: "Nonsense! ”
Zhu Youning laughed, and his giggles were extremely crisp.
The second uncle was angry, the niece was just joking, and the niece also knew that the second uncle was just joking. Since I was a child, I have been reading my father's "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" as an idle book, and it is not surprising that I can count a few numbers. Is the niece right? Does the second uncle want to weigh both kinds of dim sum in one scale? ”
Zhu Huazhang gritted his teeth before swallowing the ugly words, after all, he still has to walk in Fuyang, such a big person, it is not easy to deal with a child, this is not suitable to announce the answer, otherwise what should the five people who are participating in the competition do?
When Zhu Huazhang was in a dilemma, fortunately, Zhu Yanfeng smiled and broke the siege.
"The answer of the ninth sister should be correct. If I'm not miscalculated. As he spoke, he handed over the stack of papers he had just calculated, signaling that he had the same answer as Zhu Youning, and proving that he had not copied Zhu Youning.
Zhu Huazhang said with satisfaction: "Yes, very good." ”
The son was so competitive, which made Zhu Huazhang's face finally look a little better.
Lu Zhifu laughed playfully, a little girl, with outstanding strength and intelligence, can also be put away freely without letting herself suffer; A half-grown teenager, he behaves steadily and gracefully, and can see opportunities everywhere.
The children of the Zhu family's generation are really interesting, and he didn't come to Fuyang in vain this time.
After a while, Zhu Yanqiu also handed over a stack of papers, which was not bad, the top three had been announced, and Li Gongzi was provoked again, Zhu Huazhang simply said loudly: "The second question, the winners are Jiu Yatou, Zhu Yanlan and Zhu Yanqiu." ”
"Good!" Sure enough, Li Gongzi began to applaud with people again.
Old lady Zhu stood up at this time and said with a smile: "You have all done a great job, sure enough, there is a successor to my Zhu family." ”
Old lady Zhu was born with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and at this time she smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, which made Zhu Yanping's poor performance feel a lot better.
"Since our Zhu family is in business, you will all have to go on your own in the future, as a businessman, the ability to judge the situation is indispensable. There is a strategy theory in the imperial court exam, and today our third question is also a 'policy theory', giving you an hour to write down your views on Zhu's future development. ”
When Mrs. Zhu spoke, someone removed all the sundries on the table and placed six square tables and chairs.
"Take your seats, and begin." Old lady Zhu said, glanced at Zhu Huating meaningfully, and sat back in place.
And when Zhu Huating received this look from his father, he felt inexplicably sour in his heart.
It seems that my father was even more disgusted with him.
In this third question, Zhu Youning clearly has no chance of winning.
Mo said that she was a child, and this kind of "strategy" was difficult for him to write, because from the bottom of his heart, he resisted the ancestral teachings and family style of the Zhu family.
Zhu Huating privately called the Zhu family's cultivation method of merit-based survival "Gu Raising Method", the old lady was the "Gu King" who survived in the early years, no matter how powerful he was, he was just a worm with blood on his hands......
When Zhu Huating came back to his senses, he found that Zhu Youning had already taken a seat like the other five cousins.
The table was too high, she sat on the chair with her legs dangling cutely, biting the pen with a serious face, but did not put down the pen, I don't know what she was thinking.
After two questions, the onlookers had already focused most of their attention on Zhu Youning, thinking that she was a seven-year-old female doll, and today's performance was surprising enough.
Now seeing her frowning and cute little appearance, everyone whispered, and occasionally some people laughed.
Zhu Youning couldn't hear the words of others.
Because she was stumped by writing.
She can only read and write traditional Chinese characters, and she can't take out a single word, and she can't be sure of a lot of them, and she has to put them in the paragraph to connect with the context.
Isn't it embarrassing to ask her to write the answer sheet now?
She was a little suspicious that the third question was changed by the old lady temporarily, deliberately embarrassing her.
But there is no way, it has come this far, how can she back down?
Zhu Youning made up his mind, so he climbed up to the chair and knelt on the chair, holding a brush to put the mixed traditional and simplified characters on the paper.
For a person who has never learned calligraphy and basically never held a brush, it is really difficult to control the pen, and Zhu Youning's own words can only be regarded as readable, not beautiful at all. Now it is stirred together by the uncontrollable brush, the words on the paper are of different sizes, the strokes are thick and thin, and some of the words are careless and have black bumps, and the volume is simply miserable.
At the end of half an hour, the cousins had finished writing and handed in, and Zhu Youning was still leaving the last few words.
Several people came over curiously.
As soon as they saw Zhu Youning's words that were comparable to cockroaches crawling, they all laughed, and even the calm Zhu Yanfeng laughed, and his eyes became more confident.
Zhu Yanping smiled and leaned back: "You also call it writing?" Tethering a pie to a dog and pulling it with its paws is better than what you wrote! Ha ha! ”
Zhu Youning ignored this person, calmly put down the pen, dried the ink, and handed over the thick stack of paper.
Old lady Zhu frowned as soon as she saw the ugly Qingqi words, and threw away the scroll casually, thinking if she was going to read it, she carefully read Zhu Yanfeng's answer sheet again, and while nodding frequently, she also discussed with the third master beside her in a low voice.
Lu Zhifu curiously picked up Zhu Youning's test paper, as an official from the imperial examination, his brows jumped when he saw this kind of lethality.
However, in the spirit of curiosity about this little girl, he still looked patiently and seriously from the first word.
At first, he would frown at the words that lacked strokes and could only be guessed. But as the content deepened, Governor Lu actually saw it. After reading the scroll twice, Governor Lu suddenly got up and stuffed the scroll to Old Lady Zhu.
"Look at the strategy of the princess in the house, this article is very well written, I will ask the entourage to copy a copy when I go back, and I hope that Mrs. Zhu will not hide her secrets."
