Thinking of the world You Fangyin said about the world she was in in the previous life, and thinking about the place where she was staying, Jiang Xuening didn't know why, and she felt unhappy in her heart. So when I immersed myself in staring at the questions these gentlemen gave, it became more and more unpleasant.
Originally, she was going to pretend to be an unmotivated trash.
But now, just staring at it gives birth to a little bit of thinking: I won't stay in the palace anyway, so I'm afraid of offending these old men
Jiang Xuening's slender fingers held the tube of pen and slowly turned it in his hand, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
The whole question paper is exactly as Xie Wei said before, it is not particularly difficult, most of the content of the exam is the Tao of Confucius and Mencius, plus some knowledge of rhythm and music theory.
Now she has answered half of it in dog-crawling words.
As for the remaining half of this...
"The Master said: The three armies can win the commander-in-chief, but the common man cannot win the will. What should we do? How can we say that 'a gentleman has high ambition'?"
Jiang Xuening made a serious drawing on the answer sheet, stroke by stroke, and then wrote: "One said, 'Every man sees humiliation, draws his sword, and stands up to fight. Splashing five steps'. If you are a 'man', you are mediocre, so how can you have a 'will'? If you have no ambition, what can you take away
"The Master said: Virtue is born to you, how does Huan Yu give it? Please use the word 'virtue' to make an argument."
This means that Confucius said, God has given me such a virtue, what can Huan of Song do to me
It is said that when Confucius went to Chen State and passed through Song State, Sima Huanyu of Song State heard about it and went to harm Confucius. At that time, Confucius and his disciples were talking about the rituals of Zhou under a big tree, and Huan Yu led someone to cut down the big tree and wanted to kill Confucius.
This is what Confucius said while fleeing.
Scholars have always regarded Confucius as a "sage". Everything Confucius said is right, and even nonsense can give you a bunch of truths.
Jiang Xuening almost rolled her eyes when she saw this sentence.
When a person possesses "virtue", he can turn auspiciousness into good luck and not be afraid of harm from others? What nonsense. And this is still describing myself, and I really don't blush when I blow myself up.
For this question, she has too many "theories" to make.
Immediately, he scribbled hard on the answer sheet again.
There's nothing wrong with it except for the ugly words.
An hour and a half passed quickly.
At this time, most of the other people in the hall had stopped writing, and the palace servants rang the bronze chime in the hall and came up to collect the scroll.
When she received Jiang Xuening in front of her, she was still lying on the case and writing.
The palace servant coughed: "Miss Jiang, hand in the papers."
Jiang Xuening was unmoved, did not look up at her, only said: "Oh, wait until I finish writing the last sentence."
The palace servant couldn't help but subconsciously turned his head to look at Xie Wei, who had stood up and looked this way.
Xie Wei said nothing.
The palace man had to stand by with his hands down, quietly waiting for Jiang Xuening to write. It's just that her "last sentence" seemed to be extraordinarily long, and she wrote a lot more.
Everyone's eyes fell on her, and for a while they were a little puzzled: it shouldn't be. Jiang Xuening seemed to have passed all the questions that Jiang Xuening had given them before, so it could be seen that she was well prepared, and this question paper was not too difficult, like Xiao Shu and Fan Yilan, it only took an hour to answer the question It's written, but I don't want to be in the limelight, so I didn't submit it in advance. Why did she take so long
Finally, she finally put the pen down, and then she lifted the densely written answer sheet from the case, blew the ink, and then handed it to the long-awaited palace servant: "It's work."
The palace servant secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She only thinks that this second girl Jiang is very serious about the examination school and has a lot of knowledge, so the answer sheet is so full. But when she took the answer sheet and took a look, was the word full of ghosts and talismans serious? And also wrote this old man...
Cold sweat almost came out on his forehead.
The palace servants didn't dare to say more, and after collecting all the answers and sorting them out, they presented them to Xie Wei.
At this point, the exam is completed.
Everyone relaxed somewhat.
Fang Miao sat closer to Jiang Xuening. After watching Xie Wei from above take the answer sheet and lay it on the desk, she put her head next to her and asked, "Why did you answer for so long? Could it be that there is something in the question? What is the mystery that is not easy to discover?"
There is no mystery.
If it must be said that there is, it is: the wisdom of the gangjing.
Jiang Xuening also raised his eyes and glanced up. Seeing that Xie Wei didn't pay attention to the bottom, he turned his head and lowered his voice and said, "I'm just stupid, so I took a long time to answer."
stupid
She looks like she has something to do with the word "stupid"
Fang Miao didn't want to talk to her for a moment, but she felt that she was hypocritical of "he is very powerful but he has to be humble", so she glanced at her faintly and said, "Just pretend."
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Jiang Xuening couldn't explain more.
After all, she was relieved after answering the questionnaire.
This time the answer sheet is completely "the right medicine", I'm afraid that the old men will blow their beards and stare at them, and they will be angry. She is not worried about not being able to leave the palace!
So he quietly began to look at Xie Wei.
The answer sheet on the top of the desk is from Xiao Shu, the eldest lady of Chengguo Palace.
The first-hand hairpin is very beautiful in small script, and it can be seen that it has been practiced for a long time.
Xie Wei nodded lightly after reading it, then put the answer sheet aside, and picked up a new answer sheet to read, his expression was still indifferent, and the people sitting below could not see any clues from it.
But when he waited for the fifth answer sheet, the corners of his eyes suddenly twitched imperceptibly.
Jiang Xuening, who was paying close attention to his expression, was shocked: it's up to me, it's up to me!
Think of Xie Wei in the previous life.
She is familiar with the books of sages and sages, proficient in hundreds of dialects, good at writing, and good at speaking.
How exciting would it be for this person to change his face on the spot
God knows how much Xie Wei's heart was shocked when he suddenly saw the densely packed dog crawling characters on the fifth answer sheet after reading the first four neatly handwritten answer sheets.
Horizontal and vertical is not straight, squatting upside down.
It's like a Taoist painting a ghost talisman, even seven or eight-year-old children in the school can write better than this!
For a moment, he frowned, raised his hand and wanted to throw the answer sheet on the ground.
But looking at the frontispiece, the words "Jiang Xuening" came into view.
Xie Wei tightened his fingers while holding the answer sheet. He only raised his eyes and looked towards the corner of the hall that was already brightly lit by the sky outside. He saw Jiang Xuening secretly looking at him, with a pair of black and white eyes that looked a bit like a fox. sly dark light. But as soon as he turned his eyes, the dark light of wisdom disappeared immediately, and he only looked at it with an embarrassed and timid eyes, and quickly lowered his head, as if he knew how bad his answer was. My heart is very anxious about this.
Xie Wei stared at her for a long time.
Jiang Xuening thought that he would withdraw his eyes just by looking at it, so shortly after he buried his head, he raised his head again, wanting to continue watching Xie Wei's reaction.
But who would have thought that he was actually facing the gaze that he didn't take back at all.
In an instant, the hairs stand on end!
Although Xie Wei didn't have a harsh and stern expression on his face, he looked indifferent, like a turbulent sea, but Jiang Xuening felt that there was a turbulent undercurrent, which was shocking.
The calmer outside, the more turbulent inside.
The back of her neck was cold, she resisted the urge to run away, and slowly buried her head, but this time she didn't dare to lift it up again.
Xie Wei then very slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at this answer sheet again.
The hall was suddenly very quiet.
Because all the other ladies of the noble family who were also secretly paying attention to Xie Wei's expression were very surprised to find that Mr. Xie, who didn't need to look at the first answer sheet for a while, actually looked at the fifth answer sheet. the whole moment.
Although the expression could not be seen deep or shallow, it was inexplicably frightening.
Everyone was a little nervous for a while.
One is praying that this answer sheet is not your own, and the other is that I can't help but think about what shocking content was written on this answer sheet, so that Mr. Xie, the young master of the prince, could see it for so long.
At this juncture, the three old scholars of the Hanlin Academy who had gone out earlier came back from the outside, and at a glance they knew that everyone had finished answering the questions, so they walked up to Xie Wei and said with a smile: "Reading the answer sheet? Come on, still There are a few copies left, and we will also help to see."
As he spoke, he reached out to the answer sheet on the case.
Xie Wei's eyelids twitched slightly, and he quietly pulled Jiang Xuening's answer sheet on his face away, and then very naturally pulled the remaining answer sheets and handed them out, saying, "I have a few gentlemen. "
A few old pedants didn't notice such a subtle action. They took the answer sheet and came to read two or three copies each, while reading and commenting: "This answer is simply wrong! This is also a thousand words, and a thousand miles off the topic! Even Meng Yasheng said that 'born in sorrow and died in comfort' can't be solved, what is it to read in the palace..."
The faces of some aristocratic ladies in the hall turned pale.
Jiang Xuening was a little relieved at this time, secretly thinking that these old men are back, and when they see their answer sheets, they will definitely not let themselves be selected. So, the big thing is done!
Soon, several gentlemen read the answer sheets, picked four out, and shook their heads to Xie Wei.
This means that these are not available.
Xie Weijie came over to take a look, didn't say anything, nodded, put all the answer sheets together again, and said to everyone: "Just now I have read the answer sheets with a few gentlemen, and the results of the comments are out."
Everyone was nervous and held their breaths.
Jiang Xuening clenched his fists quietly, waiting to hear his name.
"Xiao Shu, the Duke of Chengguo, is excellent, you can stay;
"Chen Shuyi, Chen Da Shi's residence, is excellent, you can stay;
"Yao Xi of the Yao Shang Shufu, middle and upper class, you can stay;
"Fang Jianzheng's mansion is wonderful and average. Although he is inferior in knowledge, he is better than his handwriting. He has a strong desire to learn and can stay."
Xiao Shu, Chen Shuyi, and Yao Xi were not worried that they would not be able to survive, so when they heard the result, they were only a little excited, it was an expected settling of the dust.
But Fang Miao was apprehensive.
When I heard the word "keliu" from Xie Wei's mouth, I almost couldn't help jumping up, got up quickly and bowed to Xie Wei: "The student thanked Mr. Your Highness the Princess is reading!"
So there are four people left.
The rest of the people heard that things were going well, and they thought that the gentlemen's requirements were actually very loose.
But no one thought that Xie Wei would read three names next, but all of them failed!
He glanced down, and saw that the young ladies of the noble family whose names were read were all pale, and they were about to cry, and said, "The answers of the young ladies are not entirely without merit, compared to ordinary girls' families. He is well-informed. It’s just that he is choosing a companion for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and you have to consider the knowledge of other people and compare them. So you don’t have to be too concerned.”
All three stood up and thanked them.
At least on the surface, they are very convinced, as for what they think in their hearts, no one knows.
There are already seven results.
There are five left.
Jiang Xuening felt that he should be here soon.
At this moment, Xie Wei picked up the eighth answer sheet, but did not speak immediately, but looked at it for a while, as if thinking about something.
Jiang Xuening thought this was his own.
Unexpectedly, the next moment Xie Wei opened his mouth and asked, "Who is Fan Yilan?"
Fan Yilan was stunned for a moment, stood up and bowed, "Mr. Xie, I am."
Xie Wei's eyes fell on her, and after sizing it up for a while, he said, "Go to the upper armour and so on."
Everyone, including Xiao Shu, widened their eyes in surprise.
However, the next moment, Xie Wei said, "But you can't stay."
Can't stay? !
Everyone was dumbfounded, and they didn't have time to put away their surprised expressions earlier.
Fan Yilan himself didn't react.
Xie Wei didn't explain anything, just handed her the answer sheet and said, "Get back your answer sheet."
I read the results before, but I didn't return the answer sheet.
Fan Yilan saw this, Rao was indifferent, and thought she had done something wrong in the answer sheet, and felt a little uneasy.
She stepped forward and respectfully took the answer sheet.
At this time, Xie Wei said to her indifferently: "There are no good poems in the palace."
Fan Yilan was shocked, and all kinds of thoughts came out from the bottom of his heart, and it was hard to stop like a river flowing.
She held her answer sheet and stood there for a long time.
In the end, he bowed his head deeply to Xie Wei: "Yilan, keep in mind Mr.'s instructions!"
No one else could understand this endless conversation, but Jiang Xuening looked at Fan Yilan with a slightly complicated expression: Fan Yilan has a talent for poetry, and Xie Wei really saw her from her answer sheet. Her aura and talent, so even if her answer sheet was the top grade, she did not leave Fan Yilan to accompany her to read.
Because to write good poetry, one cannot stay in the palace.
In the last life, Fan Yilan, who later traveled all over the mountains and rivers, did indeed write many good poems that men admire and recite.
Jiang Xuening in the previous life sneered at this, and did not understand how anyone would be willing to give up glory and wealth, but did not have any doubts about Xie Wei's actions; but only in this life did she know how much she was free and indifferent when she traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers. envious.
After thinking about it, I went away without paying attention.
Until a word suddenly sounded in my ear: "Ning—"
But only one word came out, and suddenly stopped.
Jiang Xuening raised his eyes and saw Xie Wei was looking at her from above. For a while, he didn't know why. He thought he was sure of everything, but now he was a little flustered—
Maybe Xie Wei is too scary.
She got up and stood still, waiting for him to read the final result.
Xie Wei said the word "Ning", and realized that it was not suitable for this place at this time. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he changed his mouth as if nothing had happened, and said lightly: "Jiang Shilang's house Jiang Xuening - you can stay."
Jiang Xuening bowed subconsciously: "Mr. Xie's instructions, the minister and daughter will definitely..."
Wait a minute!
Jiang Xuening, can you stay? ! !
Her mind suddenly exploded like a thunderbolt, and she suddenly raised her head, because she was so surprised that she even forgot to hide her bright and sharp eyes, and looked at Xie Wei!
What a joke!
What questions did she answer, what words did she write, didn't she know? Not to mention that the palace is choosing a companion for the eldest princess to read, even if you use it to invite a gentleman from a private school, the gentleman may not be willing to teach!
When Fang Miao heard that she even said the word "go home", she couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing, and only said, "Look, it's my turn to be the last one, and our second girl Jiang was so happy that she lost her head and couldn't even speak. They're starting to talk nonsense!"
Xie Weize looked at her flatly: "Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Xuening's scalp was numb, and she didn't understand how things suddenly got out of control, and her heartbeat suddenly changed.
When did Her Royal Highness the eldest princess even handle Xie Wei
Yan Lin is even more impossible.
That is, Xie Wei wanted to keep her under his nose to take a good look, to see if she was pretending to be crazy and acting stupid
Do not…
In any case, he cannot stay in the palace.
Not to mention being a student of Xie Ju'an!
That is simply courting death!
When people are in a hurry, they are in a hurry. Jiang Xuening's eyes rolled, even though he knew that Xie Wei might pay more attention to himself, he had to bite the bullet and say: "Mr. Xie, there is something unknown about the students. Since the gentlemen were reading the papers on the spot, why? Miss Fan can't be selected for the top grades? And the husband only returned her answer sheet, but I can't see my answer sheet, let alone the answer sheets of others. Although the students are selected to stay, they can put themselves in the shoes and think about the rest. Those who lose are afraid that they don't know why they lost. Why can't everyone's answers be distributed, so that the losers can also be convinced?"
To be honest, when Jiang Xuening said these words, several people who had been deposed before were moved.
It's not impossible to check the papers.
What if someone is worse than you and gets away with it
However, Xie Wei just glanced at them, and didn't even change his straight voice: "Miss Jiang is also right. Although the answers of the unsuccessful few people just said why they couldn't be selected, it's rough. There are many flaws that cannot be explained in detail. If a few young ladies are interested in learning, Xie will stay for a while longer, and tell them in detail for the young ladies."
Break it down in detail...
How is this different from whipping a corpse in public
Originally, these people wanted to echo Jiang Xuening, but when they heard Xie Wei's words, they were only afraid that their poor answer would be put on the table and told everyone to listen, it would be a shame!
The previous intentions suddenly disappeared!
They all said, "I'll wait until I'm convinced, I've already got the guidance of Mr., and I don't dare to bother again!"
Jiang Xuening: "..."
She is one foot tall, but Xie Wei is one foot tall!
Can't these silly girls have a little backbone! Do you know what an opportunity you gave up to stay in the palace! There is no way anyone in the audience can answer worse than me!
Xie Wei only turned to look at Jiang Xuening: "Do you have any questions about Jiang Er girl?"
Jiang Xuening's eyelids jumped: "I, but I..."
Xie Wei's fingers lightly pressed on the bastard painted on the answer sheet, next to her answering that she didn't lift the bar and was uncomfortable, and interrupted with a blank expression: "Why don't you stay for a while, Miss Jiang? Xie Xie alone to solve your doubts?"
Jiang Xuening was horrified, and his face almost turned green.
