Chapter 29 Small Report

This pile of test papers was prepared in advance, after all, they were only used to explore the knowledge and cultivation of the Princess and her companions. Overall, they were not complicated, and the required quantity was not large. Therefore, the gentlemen each wrote their own questions and handed them over to someone to transcribe twelve copies. The text was uniform in size, neat and orderly, all in beautiful pavilion style.

After Xie Wei finished giving orders, he lowered his head and continued to unroll.

After unpacking, he slightly lowered his eyes and counted the number of test papers, then asked the three old Hanlin who came with him, "How many elders will you take a look at them?"

The three of them stood still, shaking their heads.

One of the old Hanlin sighed and said, "A group of young girls are studying. This school entrance exam is like a children's play. What's the point of passing the exam? Isn't it all like that? Master Xie has seen it."

Xie Wei glanced at him and didn't say anything, only handing the test paper to the palace attendant.

The palace attendant took the test paper with both hands and then handed it out to everyone one by one.

Jiang Xuening happens to be the last serving.

As soon as the test paper was presented to her, she quickly went over it: the questions on it were almost the same as what she had done in her previous life, and also the same as the one Yan Lin gave her last night.

Then he heard the head Xie Wei say, "This exam is just to see what level of knowledge and cultivation your accompanying students have. The questions you have prepared are relatively simple, and the difficulty of answering is not high. Therefore, the time for answering the paper is only one and a half hours, and we will ask you to submit it at the first minute. And I and the three gentlemen will spend two quarters of time marking the paper on the spot and making a judgment. Now we can ask you to start answering the paper."

His voice is flat and indifferent, without any ripples.

In people's ears, there is a feeling of refreshing breeze brushing against their faces, perhaps because there is a sense of comfort hidden in these words, which easily dispels the tension that people originally had when entering the palace and slightly relaxes.

Below, people like Xiao Shu, Fan Yilan, and others are well-educated and confident. Upon hearing Xie Wei's words, they all start writing with ink and answer the questions on blank rice paper.

Jiang Xuening stared at the test paper for a while.

After a long while, he reached out his hand and bent his five fingers, resembling chicken feet. He grabbed a small pen next to him and began writing on the answer sheet in a leisurely and crooked manner.

The gentlemen above had already sat down on the chairs set on the left, and had only instructed the palace staff to brew tea and bring it up.

They are all old scholars in the Hanlin Academy. As soon as they looked at the twelve little girls buried in their answers, they couldn't help but shake their heads.

The old gentleman who had just replied to Xie Wei's words said, "A princess is making a fuss about studying. The emperor just invites a few people to teach, and the daughter's family doesn't need to know too much. At home, she listens to her parents, gets married from her husband, and dies from her husband's son. She just needs to learn the" Filial Piety Classic "and" Women's Precepts ", but she still needs to create such a big battle. Those who don't know may think that which prince came out to study.". I have been studying diligently in the Hanlin Academy for more than ten years, and now I have come to teach a group of female dolls. What kind of words is that? "

Xie Wei sat next to him, lowered his eyebrows and lifted the tea cup lid, but did not answer.

However, the two gentlemen next to him were somewhat dissatisfied with these words.

One of them also sighed and agreed, "Who said it's not? I've been in the government for so many years, and no one has ever asked me to teach a girl doll! At least I came from two ranks of successful candidates and studied the Four Books and Five Classics to teach princesses and companions. I'm afraid I only teach beginners. It's not that I look up to myself, it's really like killing a chicken with a cow's knife.". Just you and me are nothing, after all, they are just a few mediocre old men who are not satisfied in the courtyard. But like Master Xie, who usually presides over scripture banquets and lectures, the emperor even ordered to give lectures to the princess and these companions, which is really puzzling. "Master Xie actually agreed, which is even more puzzling."

These old gentlemen all come from noble backgrounds in the Hanlin Academy and have their own integrity. Even in front of the emperor, they are not afraid of many things. Now they have said these things several times in the court.

However, Shen Lang favored Princess Chang and acted alone, unable to listen to anyone's advice.

So even talking is useless.

Xie Wei had heard them complain before in court, and often dragged himself out to talk about it, as if he also had a lot of dissatisfaction with this matter.

But he didn't show too much emotion towards it either.

At the moment, I only glanced at the young ladies from the aristocratic families who were diligently answering the papers on the side. My gaze also fixed on Jiang Xuening's posture of holding the pen, and I couldn't help but furrow my brows slightly. I took a sip of tea and said, "All the accompanying readers are answering. Let's talk less to avoid disturbing you."

A few old gentlemen, it's hard to say more now.

Throughout history, invigilation in examination rooms has been extremely dull.

Xie Wei brought his own book "On Guarding the White" and sat beside him, slowly reading page by page.

Those gentlemen are not very good at sitting still.

The Holy Emperor ordered them to come to the Princess of the Patriarch and a group of aristocratic girls to accompany them. They were already somewhat dissatisfied and sat here for not two minutes, unable to speak or read. They decided to go outside to breathe air and even threw away the matter of "invigilation". They went out from the Fengchen Hall together, leaving only Xie Wei here.

From beginning to end, Xie Wei didn't even glance at them, just flipped through his own book.

Although Jiang Xuening was sitting in the corner, she had just listened to the words of the old gentlemen and couldn't help but frown when she saw these people leaving shortly after sitting.

How about being an "old scholar"?

Growing up like this, it's better to bury it in the soil!

Even if she doesn't stay behind as an accompanying reader, she must still call Shen Zhiyi for these bad old men's small reports.
