Fu Xiu Yi was a member of the royal family, so it was impossible for him to be ignorant of the royal family's methods. The crisp sound of the teacup falling to the ground seemed to be inadvertent, but it had disrupted the rhythm of the musicians on stage, making the demagogic tones unable to continue. He naturally wanted to see who was responsible, Fu Xiu Yi himself was a cautious and suspicious person, he did not think that the other party was unintentional.
The girl in purple was holding her cheeks and talking to the people around her. Her expression was indifferent, and from a distance, she had an indescribable bearing that clearly separated her from the people around her.
"Who is the ninth brother looking at?" Zhou Wang Fu Xiu'an followed Fu Xiu Yi's gaze and showed a clear smile: "Speaking of our brothers, the ninth brother has never married. The father has not mentioned the ninth many times. The matter of the younger brother's choice of concubine, why, the girl looked at the young lady of the house, and she looked good. I don't know which relatives here, but does anyone know?"
"It's the fifth young lady in the residence of the mighty general, and the student under her." Pei Lang stood not far away and replied when he heard the words.
“The Fifth Young Lady in the residence of the mighty General?” King Jing Fu Xiuyun had a good memory, perhaps because Shen Miao was too famous, even the royal family was not unfamiliar with her name. He said, "Isn't that the direct daughter of General Shen Xin? It seems to be called Shen Miao?"
“How could it be Shen Miao.” Fu Xiu’an smiled indifferently, “The whole capital knows about Shen Miao chasing our ninth brother, was it not because of seeing the ninth brother fall into the water a few days ago? , why is there any need for such trouble. Besides, Shen Miao is a scumbag, you look at the girl opposite her with a calm and noble temperament, how could it be Shen Miao.”
"Fourth brother be careful, Xiu Yi doesn't mean that." Fu Xiu Yi shook his head, but his eyes fell on the girl in purple on the women's banquet from a distance.
In his heart, he was not not shocked, who Shen Miao was, in his eyes, was no different from those young girls who adored him. Those girls who admired him would at least pretend to be reserved on the surface and would always know some etiquette to advance and retreat, but Shen Miao… probably knew nothing but looked at him stupid. Naturally, he wouldn't take a slap in the face of a joke that is all about the capital. If it wasn't for Shen Xin's face, he would definitely show his disgust.
As for Shen Miao in his memory, she always liked to wear bright red and green clothes, loved gold ornaments, smeared rouge gouache on her face fiercely, like a clown singing a big show on a stage, or a stage in the countryside. As for the girl in the purple robe at the moment, her skin was as creamy, her brows were graceful, and her noble aura clearly distinguished her from the women around her, how could it be Shen Miao
He was not the only one who was confused, but also Pei Lang.
As a teacher who taught Shen Miao for two years, Pei Lang undoubtedly knew Shen Miao better than Fu Xiu Yi. If it is said that people's clothes can be changed, their clothes can be adjusted, but the temperament of the whole body is different. Pei Lang was a scholar, and a scholar valued temperament more than others, Shen Miao seemed to have changed overnight, how could there be such a thing
He didn't think about the tea cup just now, although he also felt that the music was wrong, but in his heart, how could a little girl hear the problem. What's more, Shen Miao was never a master of piano skills.
Everyone thought about it in their hearts, but the musicians on the stage had already ended. Verification is about to begin.
This year's test is different from previous years. There is no distinction between men and women, only civil and military. Although Guangwentang requires students to be both civil and military, both literary and martial arts must be taught, but the rules have always been like this for a hundred years, and very few women choose martial arts. Men included. Just because these three doors are actually the way to select talents for the imperial court, as an adult said: "The disciplines of the scholars are often generals, and they are all very obvious."
For martial arts, you need to test riding archery, foot archery, carbine, and weight bearing. But after all, it is not a real martial arts, and there is no need for military drills and specific arenas.
And most of the girls take the four items of poetry and song in the school's literary category, which are the default traditions. Even if Ming Qi's national style is considered open, it is always more harsh on women, not only Ming Qi, but almost all countries. Women should be at home with their husbands and children, singing the wind and the moon.
Ming Qi's verification has always been divided into three parts, drawing, selecting, and picking.
The lottery is to be drawn by everyone, and the order is disrupted by the verification officer, and the situation of the lottery determines what items each person has drawn for verification. In order to avoid the difficulty of drawing too hard, women are drawn in the four categories of literature, and men are drawn in the strategy and classics of martial arts and literature.
Because this was an unavoidable one, Shen Miao would lose face in this one every year, just because of the four items of poetry and poetry, she would not do the same.
The selection is the second stage, you can choose a type of yourself that you are good at and show it on your own, just like Shen Yue often chooses to play the piano, and Shen Qing chooses books.
As for the last, it is a choice. This choice is not a choice, but a challenge. Someone can take the stage and choose any student to come up as an opponent to test a certain item. Such scenes are often made in the case of evenly matched forces. Like Shen Miao, picking her would be an insult to one's own strength. However, there were also those who wanted to see Shen Miao's jokes, in the past, Shen Miao was deliberately chosen to come on stage to compare a certain item. There is no need to doubt the ending, no matter what, Shen Miao was completely defeated.
Therefore, for Shen Miao, the annual verification was a nightmare, and every year it was treated as a joke and laughed at by everyone. There are countless days like this.
And this year is the same.
The chief examiner on the stage had a serious conversation as in previous years, while the other two took out two small wooden barrels from behind. The items to be verified are written on these swabs, which are drawn by the students themselves.
Both men and women have to smoke, and one person walks to the male family's seat and hands them to the male students one by one. The other tall woman took the lottery bucket and walked to the women's feast, and asked the female students to draw lots in order.
Feng An Ning blinked her eyes, "May God bless me, I only hope to get the piano and books, painting and chess really doesn't work." She looked at Shen Miao, "You don't worry at all when you look at it, is it possible? Is it confident? Or is it broken?" It wasn't that she was mean, but Shen Miao was indeed such a fool who couldn't understand everything.
Shen Miao was noncommittal, does it make sense to smoke? Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, she was not able to understand everything.
When the wooden barrel was passed to Shen Miao's table, Feng An Ning drew it first, took out the sign paper and took it apart eagerly, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief, "It's the qin! It's the qin! This is great, these days. Qin finally did not practice in vain. What is yours, Shen Miao?”
Shen Miao's hand was just withdrawn from the lottery bucket, a white lottery paper was lying on the palm, folded into a long strip. She opened it and saw that there was a word in it.
painting.
