Twin Brocade

Chapter 78 Checking

The news came from Zongzheng Temple that Dr. Qin Tianjian had been asked to calculate the auspicious day, and Fang Jinshu was asked to enter the Jingyi Nunnery after taking a bath and fasting.In other words, she didn't have to start preparing until the auspicious day was calculated.

And the day for the re-election in the Guozijian has been set, and it will be the tenth day of September.

For this day, Fang Jinhui carefully prepared.

Because she didn't know what would be tested that day, she read and reread "Four Rules for Women" and "Four Books for Women", and worked harder every minute in the school.When I got home, I either practiced calligraphy or practiced the piano, and I never idled for a moment.

Afraid that she was working too hard, Si Lansheng specifically asked her to pay attention to her body.

But Fang Jinhui complied, and he still went his own way when he returned to Cuiwei Courtyard.Si Lansheng had no choice but to ask Yanxia to stew the bird's nest in her order, bring it to her, and stare at her to drink it before giving up.

Fang Jinshu watched all of this, and understood the arrogance of the eldest sister a little bit more.

Rather than arguing with others, Fang Jinhui is more willing to use his true talents to defeat his opponents.Seeing that she doesn't look like a mountain, but is studying hard every day, she has unknowingly opened up a large distance from her peers.

What she cares about is not the glory of entering the palace to celebrate the empress's birthday, but the pride of being the first among all the female students.

Since the eldest sister cared so much about the re-election, Fang Jinshu also took care of it and helped her prepare pens, inks, papers and inkstones and other things.It's a pity that she really didn't pay attention to this selection in her previous life, otherwise she would be more confident if she revealed the content of the test in advance.

On the tenth day of September, there were overcast clouds in the sky, and the autumn wind felt a bit chilly on my body.The students who passed the primary selection were divided into male and female, and entered from the east and west gates of the Guozijian.

Although the selection was co-hosted by the Ministry of Rites and the palace, although it was just to celebrate birthdays, the rules were not bad.In order to prevent cheating, the students who enter will first enter a numbered room, remove their robes and conduct a body search before entering, and check the test basket.

Fang Jinshu secretly slandered in his heart, this is different from the imperial examination, how can he cheat if he doesn't even know the exam questions?The body search may just make the students awe.

After entering the examination room, several cases were neatly listed in the yard, and the candidates' names were written in advance according to the school.Just follow the number lottery in your hand and take your seat according to the number.Around the examination room, stood soldiers holding long daggers.

This kind of battle, even if it is not as strict as the imperial examination, still has a kind of solemnity and solemnity.

The five girls from Xiuwenfang Academy were all together, Tang Yuanyao was in front of Fang Jinhui, and Fang Jinshu was on Fang Jinhui's left.

In such a large examination room, hundreds of female students were sitting at the moment, and blank rice paper was spread on the tables in front of each of them.The girls gently took out the pens and inks in their test baskets and placed them properly.

Affected by this atmosphere, the examination room with so many people was as quiet as a field in autumn night, without a single noise.

With the sound of the bell, the eunuch in charge of the inner servant announced the start of the re-election, and the maids in palace attire began to distribute the test questions.

Fang Jinshu felt relieved when he took a look at the test questions.

These questions are not difficult, they are nothing more than a test of familiarity with women's common reading items.At the end there are a few difficult questions, and the test is the content of "The Analects of Confucius".

However, none of these troubled Fang Jinhui.

In the same way, such basic questions will not be difficult for the female students present who have passed the primary school selection.To really widen the gap and choose the only one, should be the next question.

This is the examination room for selection, no matter how expensive you are at home, you are not allowed to bring maids to serve you here.

Tang Yuanyao easily finished answering the test questions in her hand, feeling secretly complacent.His eyes swept back quietly, only to see that Fang Jinhui had already finished answering the questions and was sitting calmly.

She hated so much, whether she could get the only place in Xiuwenfang Academy for girls depended on whether she could defeat Fang Jinhui.

It would be great if Fang Jinhui ate and lived with her, she has several ways to prevent her from going to the examination room at all.It's a pity that she didn't find a chance until the moment before entering the arena.

At the moment, she can only play by ear.

When the time for a stick of incense is up, the court lady ends up accepting the exam questions in front of everyone according to the academy.In front of the examination room, there was a row of long book desks, and several female officials in the palace sat behind and conducted on-the-spot review.

Empress Cao's Thousand Autumn Festival will be next month, and the selected students will have to make repeated arrangements in order to show good results on that day.It is not an easy job to organize a drill for one hundred students, and the time is tight.Therefore, this method of on-the-spot review was adopted.

The examination room became quiet again, except for the rustling sound from the pen of the female officer when she was marking.

Aunt Lu, whom Fang Jinshu met last time, stood up and said, "The next thing is to compose a poem with laurel as the theme and incense as the rhyme."

As the saying goes, there is no first in writing.Poetry to be distinguished, there must be a well-recognized good sentence.

It is not difficult for women to make a poem.But on-the-spot proposition poetry, if you want to get a good poem, only the amazingly talented and gorgeous can do it, and all the women are focused on it.

For Fang Jinshu, it is not difficult for her to find a good poem about laurel as long as she searches in her previous life.But her original intention of coming here was not to fight for the first name, so she wrote a poem that fit the occasion based on her own background.

It was still the court lady who accepted the poems, and Aunt Lu said: "Those who passed the first two rounds will stay and continue to take the next exam. Those who hear their names, leave immediately."

It turned out that they were going to be eliminated on the spot before the final results came out, and the faces of all the girls suddenly became ugly.

In front of so many people, wouldn't it be extremely embarrassing for anyone to be eliminated?
The poems of the students were no longer reviewed by the female officials this time, but were handed over to the house for review by the lecturers of the Imperial College.

While waiting for the result, the girls couldn't help but whisper to each other.Aunt Lu asked the maid to serve them tea and snacks, and to rest for a while.

Being able to enter the re-selection examination room, none of these women's family backgrounds will be weak.Ordinary folk women, if they can read a few characters, it is very good, and they will not have the opportunity to practice calligraphy and study.

After all, this is not an imperial examination, and there is no need for Aunt Lu to offend these young girls.Among them, who might be the empress in the future palace.

As the maid walked around, the atmosphere in the examination room became relaxed.

Fang Jinhui leaned slightly to the left, and softly asked Fang Jinshu about his answers to the questions just now.Fang Jinshu answered in a low voice, but saw a young man dressed as an ordinary scholar coming out of the house.

His chin is slightly square, and between his gestures and gestures, he is in a beautiful state.

After only one glance, Fang Jinshu lowered his eyes and paused involuntarily.

Sure enough, he is here!

She was not mistaken, how could King Qi, who has always been known for being courteous and virtuous, remain indifferent to such a large-scale civil selection event?
