After being reminded by the "hairy boy", Chang'er decided that participating in the imperial examination was the best way to find out the truth, and she told Fang Yanqing about this idea.

But this idea was immediately vetoed by Fang Yanqing - there has never been a reason for women to take the exam since ancient times, even if the Empress Wu Zetian is in power, there is no precedent for women to take the exam.

However, Miao Miao firmly supported Yan'er - not a man, but pretending to be a man is the same.

"That's a crime of deception!" Fang Yanqing couldn't stand the two whimsical girls anymore.

But Miaomiao is not afraid of the majesty of her grandfather's years of precipitation. She sat on the rickety chair, lifted her legs alternately, made the chair make a "squeak" wailing sound, and said with a smile: "It's not up to us to be born a boy or a girl, who let the old emperor not let women take the imperial examination!" It's called a stratagem, a ladder! ”

"You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder." Chang'er added.

Fang Yanqing saw that the two children were singing and harmonizing, and sighed secretly: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise!" ”

Jokes are jokes, and Chang'er made it clear that she was determined to take the imperial examination and enter the imperial court. She realized that Fang Yanqing was a very learned old gentleman, so she proposed to worship him as a teacher, Miaomiao thought so, and immediately united with her sister-in-law and entangled Fang Yanqing together.

Fang Yanqing strongly opposed this whimsical idea, threatening that he would never accept Chang'er as a disciple, and also used the excuse that his books and books had been given to friends, and it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. But the two children seemed to be on the rise, and did not take any excuses to heart.

In order to dispel the thoughts of the two children, Fang Yanqing gave them a problem, which was called a test of qualifications - to bring fifty pairs of straw sandals made by the abbot and the master of the abbot to Huayin County to sell, and stated that they must be sold out within one day.

This is obviously bullying, even if it is the abbot and the master of the abstinence, they can only sell a dozen pairs a day, not to mention that Chang'er is still a child who has never been to the county seat. But she did not hesitate to bring a bag of straw sandals and dragged her out of the monastery. Miaomiao reasoned with her grandfather and quickly followed.

Fang Yanqing stood silently at the gate of the temple, staring at two small figures, one stubborn and firm, the other kind and chivalrous, but it was a pity that this world was ......

Abbot Huiming looked at the low-flying birds in the mountains and sighed: "It's going to change the sky......

Yes, the heavens say that it will change. In the morning, the sky was still cloudy and sunny, and it didn't take long for it to be cloudy. The two little girls walked for half an hour, and they were both hot and tired. I finally arrived at the place, settled in a small corner of the market, and set up a stall.

Coincidentally, there is a notice board opposite their straw sandal stall, on which the new notice is pressed against the old one, layer upon layer. Yan'er was curious, leaned over to take a look, and felt that these new notices were of little use to her, and was about to leave, but she saw a dazzling word "Ji".

It was an old and incomplete notice, which clearly stated that the house of the Governor Ji Xuanyi was ransacked by robbers on the ninth night of the fourth month, and although the killers were caught, there were still gangsters at large. I hope that those in the know will report to Yunyun as soon as possible.

Some passers-by saw her little girl reading the notice on tiptoe, looking dumbfounded, thinking that she was illiterate, so they kindly explained it. also told her that this notice had been posted for nearly half a year, and nothing had been gained:

Legend has it that nearly 100 masters and servants of the Ji family were all killed overnight, and even the young lady of the Boweihou family who went to his house as a guest was not spared. After hearing the news that her mother's family had been destroyed and her daughter had died tragically, Bo Weihou's wife was so grief-stricken that she hanged herself.

What's even worse is that Ji Kefei, the second son of the Ji family, fell from a horse and died on the way back from following the prince to inspect the frontier...... Hey, all these things can't help but make people sigh, the world is unpredictable!

What is unpredictable? Yes, but what is even more unpredictable is the hearts of the people and the officialdom struggle.

Yan'er naturally knew that Abbot Huiming and Grandpa Fang must have heard of this notice a long time ago, but they kept silent for her own good, after all, it was better not to listen to this kind of official statement.

It's useless to be sentimental, it's useless to grieve, the grandmother standing in front of the sign has grown up, she understands that she is small, she needs to be strong and smart.

Miaomiao urged, and Yan'er jumped back to reality from thinking and hurriedly started to do things.

The sky became more and more unbeautiful, and it began to rain lightly, and then it simply thundered. The two little girls had no choice but to close the stall first, hide under the eaves of a teahouse, and look anxiously at the sky. God, please stop, stop.

Miaomiao was afraid that Chang'er's body would not be able to support it, so she persuaded her to go home first and come back tomorrow, and she begged her grandfather to intercede, but Chang'er refused. Hoping for the mercy of others and the slightest variables will not lead to good results.

Holding straw sandals, she rushed into the rain, selling them door to door, and Miao Miao called a few times, but she didn't stop her.

The sister-in-law knocked on the door of someone else's house, held the straw sandals in front of the master, and was ruthlessly driven out; showed the shopkeeper and his buddies, and was chased away like a beggar; Pitching to pedestrians in a hurry, being thrown into a mud puddle and splashing black flowers...... She tried her best to talk about it, but she only sold three pairs of straw sandals at a low price. The wind that was wrapped in the rain hit his body, and he struggled to walk.

As the dusk progressed, the rain finally stopped. The sun gracefully hangs a string of rainbows. The two children did not dare to stop and continued to sell.

But God's test doesn't seem to have eased because the weather got better. Just when the two children were in full swing, a thin young man passed by Miaomiao and was accidentally rubbed by Miaomiao. The man grabbed Miaomiao, saying that Miaomiao had injured him, and he insisted on asking her to compensate.

At the beginning, the two children sincerely apologized, but they never thought that the person would become more and more arrogant, first asked for a high amount of compensation, and then saw that the two children could not afford to pay, so they asked them to be their maidservants. Many passers-by around saw that the man was bullying the small and the strong, and they inevitably said a few words of justice, but they were viciously spoken by the man.

The pedestrians were insulted in vain, and they all felt bored and left in a huff. The man was even more bold when he saw this, and he grabbed Miao Miao and left. Miao Miao was so frightened that she cried.

Sister-in-law's strength is small, she can't save Miaomiao, and she has no way to ask for help, and when she is anxious, she sees a hoe standing in the corner of the wall. Sister-in-law ignored it and launched a ruthless attack. She took a deep breath, let out a loud shout, and slashed from behind the man!

Although Chang'er has little strength, she uses all her strength after all. The man was hit hard in the back and fell to the ground. Yan'er hurriedly took Miaomiao's hand and ran home.

ran a long way in one go, Miaomiao couldn't help crying and reminded her sister-in-law: "Don't run, we're already out of the city!" ”

I saw that Yan'er was like a ball of anger, and she was planted on the ground at once, unconscious.

Miao Miao was even more scared, she slapped Yan'er's cold cheeks, and even thought that Yan'er was dead, and kept calling her name.

Someone ran towards them, it was Fang Yanqing, Abbot Huiming, and Master Quitting Idiot. The wonderful cry finally came out like the waves......

After another two days, Yan'er's high fever finally subsided. She opened her eyes, and saw two pairs of eyes, one bright as water, and wonderful; A pair as deep as a mountain is Fang Yanqing's. Both eyes were projecting care and comfort on her.

"Grandpa, I'm awake!" Miao Miao exclaimed excitedly.

Fang Yanqing's face was slightly pale, and he touched Yan'er's head, "Okay, the fever is all gone, and it will be fine if you rest for two more days." ”

Chang'er struggled to sit up and said timidly, "Grandpa, I'...... I killed someone......"

"What, now you know you're scared?" Fang Yanqing's words were a little ridiculous, "In that case, why was he ruthless at that time?" ”

"You know it all." Yan'er glanced at Miao Jie, "I can't help it." At that time, that person was arrogant and domineering, pulling Miaomiao, asking Miaomiao to be a girl for him, no one helped us, so I had to ...... I had no choice but to ...... Is he dead? ”

"He didn't die, but he wasn't lightly wounded. He is a ruffian and a rascal, and he is used to doing evil, and he never wanted to be planted in the hands of you two children, and it can be regarded as evil and evil. Fortunately, the government knew that he had suffered on his own, and he did not investigate deeply, so the matter was over. However, when you encounter things in the future, both of you should think twice, don't be brave for a while, and use your brains more. ”

"Yes!" The two children replied in unison.

Fang Yanqing was about to leave, but was stopped by Miaomiao. Miao Miao glanced at her sister-in-law. Chang'er naturally knew what it meant, and she couldn't care about anything at the moment, so she rolled off the bed, knelt in front of Fang Yanqing, and pleaded: "Grandpa, Chang'er didn't complete the task, but Chang'er sincerely studied with her teacher, hoping to gain fame in the future, one to avenge the Ji family, and the other to punish the wicked and support justice." If you still want to test me, I will not let you down again! ”

Fang Yanqing sighed secretly in his heart, and silently looked at the little girl kneeling on the ground. This child brought him many surprises, and her courage and insight made even many adults ashamed of themselves. He asked, "Sister-in-law, do you know why I want you to complete this task?" ”
