It was already bright the next day, and Yongxinghou Mansion ushered in a new day with great vigor.
But at this moment, in the main courtyard, the wind and sunshine outside the courtyard were beautiful, and the gongs and drums inside the courtyard were noisy.
"Sheng Yuan! Stop!" Zheng's duster waved out an afterimage, following Sister Yuan who was jumping up and down in front of her.
Sheng Yuan also didn't expect that she was so good recently that she would like to mention the duster feast as soon as she opened her eyes, which was immediately unbelievable.
"The sage said, if you receive a small stick, you will leave if you receive a big stick. Now I am a student, how can I not learn from the sage's lesson!" Sheng Yuan jumped, rolled and crawled around the yard, never forgetting to look back while running. A few words to deal with.
Her plausive demeanor successfully aroused Zheng's rage. The duster, which was already on the decline, suddenly became more energetic and started to show its strength again.
"An ancient saying goes, punishing someone without teaching is bullying! As adults, you should also look at the weather. It's not cloudy or rainy, so you can beat your children while they're idle. It's such a beautiful day, so I have to make your girls cry!" Sheng Yuan was afraid of tiring her mother, so she found an opening, twisted her steps, and ran towards the big tree in the yard, and climbed up smoothly in the blink of an eye.
She hugged the tree trunk like a koala and looked down, making sure that the duster in her mother's hand could not reach her, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Sheng Xiangxun caught up with his wife, helped her panting and stood under the tree, and looked at the little girl speechlessly: "You girl is getting more and more naughty. How can you be so sneaky to an adult? Why don't you come down quickly!"
"I don't!" Sheng Yuan shook her head, indicating that she would not be fooled unless they made it clear why they beat the child.
"Which girl hasn't grown up yet and wants to wander all over the world? The plan is already planned, and you really have your so-called "Record of Experiences". If you want to publish it and sell it well, you just need to run it well. Why use those messy methods?! "Sheng Xiangxun winked at his youngest daughter as he spoke, and kept moving his mouth in Zheng's direction.
When Sheng Yuan heard this, she was confused at first, and then she looked at her sister in surprise. Good guy, after twelve years, her sister is complaining again!
Sheng Ran met her sister's unbelievable big eyes. Although she felt a little guilty, she looked at her confidently and nodded calmly: "Yes, I told my parents!"
Otherwise, would we really watch this girl looking for an opportunity to enter the Western Regions and cross the ocean? !
"I'm just talking!" Seeing that she took her words seriously, Sheng Yuan immediately slapped the tree trunk angrily, "How could you people not even let others speak big words?"
Mrs. Zheng refused to be fooled and sneered at her: "You know whether it's a big lie or not! Well, you don't have to mention the matter of studying abroad, but what about your propaganda method? A good girl is not a good person. If you go straight but choose the other side, shouldn’t you educate yourself?”
"Me? Isn't that just a legitimate method!" Sheng Yuan did not expect that they could not even accept this method of publicity. She was so surprised that her eyes widened and she quickly argued, "This is just like the competition between several shops across the street. You fight me to the end, all in the name of the same boss! The reason is to prosper the business! Why is this method of benefiting oneself without harming others wrong? This is called skill! Skill!"
"Techniques? I think you are just trying to be tricky! You are a little kid who specializes in taking shortcuts. If you are used to this, how can you still endure hardships, stay quiet, and endure it gradually?!" Zheng has been afraid of her cleverness since she was a child in Shengyuan. Instead, she was fooled by her cleverness. As a result, this child likes to be clever. How does this make her worry-free?
This time they had to pull the little girl over, otherwise they would really be unable to discipline her if she got older.
When Sheng Yuan saw that her mother just refused to accept her words, she was so anxious that she scratched her head.
It happened that at this time, her sister Sheng Ran came over to help, telling her to learn to keep herself in peace first, and then slowly come up with fantastic ideas; just like a good painting, you need to make a good base map first, and then paint it. Slowly add color and color.
Putting aside whether her sister's words were unreasonable or not, Sheng Yuan looked at her sister and immediately wrote a limerick poetically, and then compiled "Poems Accusing Sheng An An, Part Two":
"[Sister Yuan said her words with good intentions, but her sister reported on her; the friendship between compatriots has become an illusion, and her feet have to be stepped on by hands!]"
Sheng An: "???"
Unexpectedly, this girl's accusation against her was not enough, and there was a sequel. She immediately encouraged her mother and said with a smile: "Hit this girl! Really! This child really deserves a beating!"
Sheng Yuan didn't expect that her sister would add fuel to the fire, and she was so angry that her hair was on fire: "Sister An, a gentleman does what he wants and what he doesn't do. How can you encourage your own mother to beat your own sister? Is that what a gentleman does?"
Her angry words were intended to scare her sister, but her sister-in-law, Shu, who came to pay her respects, was shocked.
In fact, she arrived when she was climbing a tree in Shengyuan, but she stood outside the door and listened to the noise, knowing that it was the critical moment for her parents-in-law to teach her sister-in-law a lesson, so she didn't want to interrupt rashly, so she just waited for a while.
Listening to their conversation from the front, Mrs. Shu was just amazed that her sister-in-law dared to think, do, and act nonsense, but when she heard what happened later, she secretly pouted in her heart.
She said in her heart that everyone from Duke Sheng to her father-in-law, Marquis Yongxing, said that Sister Yuan was a great talent. Although she felt that this was inevitably a bit exaggerated, but thinking about this girl who had won the first place in the county examination and the government examination twice in a row, More or less, she has some real talent and learning, but she never imagined that this girl could only speak limericks.
With her level, it was hard for her to imagine what kind of refined poems she could produce in the exam!
Although she had never found Sister Yuan's examination papers and read them, the poems on the examination papers may not have been written by herself. She still had some understanding of the children's examination. Many teachers from the academy would guess the questions and then ask the candidates to compose poems in advance. Or look for someone to write a poem, ask the teacher for comments and advice, revise it and memorize it. If the poem requirements can be roughly met, take out the corresponding poem and fill in it.
It’s hard to say that Sister Yuan’s poems in the exam papers are just like this!
The more Shu thought about it, the more she felt that her sister-in-law's victory in two consecutive trials might have something to do with the Queen Mother.
From her point of view, letting Sheng Yuan shine would kill two birds with one stone. It would not only comply with the emperor's intention to promote the imperial examination for women, but also please the queen mother!
Mrs. Shu glanced at her sister-in-law who was talking back to her parents-in-law in the tree, and felt a little shaken.
She had never considered letting her little sister take the scientific examination before, but if even Sister Yuan's level of poetry writing could pass the examination, her little sister, although she did not have Sister Yuan's background, would be able to do so with her sincerity. With practical knowledge, you can gain something even if you don’t even know it!
After all, when she was in the mountain city, my little sister had the air of a talented girl!
If this draft fails, there is no way this is really a way out!
Thinking of this, Shu was a little excited.
Of course, she hadn't forgotten to say hello to her parents-in-law. In her excitement, she saw that the conversation in the courtyard was almost over, so she was about to step in. Unexpectedly, as soon as she took a step forward, she was startled by her sister-in-law's shout!
