When Sheng Yuan saw Master Rong's smile, she suddenly became vigilant reflexively.
The memories and experiences of her past life and this life told her that the teacher smiled like this because he wanted to see the students scream.
"Students, are you curious? The college examination is so important, but there are only questions on the Four Books and not on the Five Classics?!"
As soon as Master Rong opened his mouth, Sheng Yuan's memory came back to life!
She remembered that there was another difference between the college examination and the county examination. Before the main examination, the academic administration organized an ancient classics examination!
The test questions are divided into classic interpretation, historical theory and poetry. Candidates can choose one of the questions, or do all of them.
Just as Sheng Yuan remembered it, she heard the sighs of her classmates.
Sure enough, exams are not friendly to candidates at any time or anywhere.
Hearing the students wailing again and again, Master Rong smiled particularly happily: "So, you have two exams before the main stage!"
It's okay if he didn't say it. After saying this, everyone wanted to hunker down at their desks!
Master Rong smiled and gave the students time to express their depression. After everyone calmed down, he said slowly: "Of course, the college examination does not have the advantage of making you smile. Although the college examination is divided into two parts like the county examination, There are the main examination and the re-examination, but there is only one re-examination in the college examination, which is called the re-examination. You must be familiar with the examination questions, which are still the "Four Books" questions, thesis topics, and the five-character and six-rhyme poems."
These questions are indeed familiar to candidates like Sheng Yuan, and it is not surprising to hear them.
And Master Rong said that at this point, he had also given what he wanted to give.
Looking at the time, he left enough time for the students to answer questions. Of course, if no one asked questions, everyone would go home after school.
Sheng Yuan quickly searched the record book with her eyes and found that the record was clear and full of content. She was not puzzled, so she turned the book to a blank page, ready to listen to the students' questions.
She thought very well, but who made Master Rong explain it so clearly? No one wanted to ask, only some curious classmates gathered around the teacher and asked about the difficulty of previous exams.
When Master Rong heard this, he stroked his beard and smiled and asked, "If you had studied the previous examination questions seriously, you would not have been able to ask such a question!"
"!!!" He was just a naughty classmate at first, but when he heard this, he immediately dispersed, fearing that if he was too slow, the master would grab his collar and pay attention to his studies.
"Okay, since there are no problems with the students, I will announce that get out of class is over!" Master Rong, still dressed and good-tempered, nodded to everyone and sent blessings to everyone, "I would like to wish all the students good results again."
…
After class was over, Sheng Yuan was still packing her schoolbag, and Anyu and Lu Sheng came over.
"Sister Yuan, our busy review life is about to begin again! Don't rush back home today!" Anyu felt that he had to have fun before working hard. They hadn't gone out to have fun for a long time.
Lu Sheng also particularly agreed: "I've been practicing both civil and martial arts recently, and I've been very depressed. Let's go to Brother Yu's Ancheng Marquis Mansion and run a small circle of horses!"
As soon as they came up with the idea, Sheng Yuan's heart moved: "How about... let's relax?!"
It doesn’t mean that only with good and sufficient rest can we start better!
Sheng Yuan feels that this is a combination of work and rest, which should be respected and practiced seriously.
The three of them discussed it, sent the maids and servants back to report, and prepared to turn the carriage towards the Marquis' Mansion in Anyu.
At this moment, the steward of Prince Jing's Mansion came over.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be well. My prince is preparing a delicious banquet in the dining room across the street. Please come over and have a chat."
Hearing this, the three people in Sheng Yuan all came up with the words "Hongmen Banquet".
"Sister Yuan?!" Anyu winked at Sheng Yuan and winked at her.
"Prince Jing has invited us. How dare we students refuse? You can lead the way!" Sheng Yuan nodded without hesitation and motioned to the coachman to follow the steward.
When the three of them entered the carriage again, Anyu hurriedly said, "Aren't you afraid that King Jing will take the opportunity to give us laxatives? We still have several exams to prepare for!"
"If you take laxatives, take laxatives. We still have a chance to retake the exam. Do you think he will have a chance to make another mistake?" Although Sheng Yuan said this, she did not think that the prince could be so stupid.
"Brother Sheng, what do you think?" Seeing Sheng Yuan's disapproval, Anyu immediately tugged at Lu Sheng's sleeve.
"Say? Let me tell you, this prince is afraid that he must ask for something if he is polite to others!" Lu Sheng patted Anyu on the shoulder and told him to rest assured, "We'll just eat as much as we can then! We are just little children, we have nothing to do with adults’ affairs!”
Sheng Yuan smiled and nodded, patting Anyu's other shoulder: "That's what it means! If someone invites us to eat delicious food, how can we refuse? Let's wait until we're full!"
"..." An Yu looked from left to Lu Sheng and from right to Sheng Yuan, "We are very much forced to eat and drink by cheating."
"Very good, you used the word "forced" very well!" Lu Sheng smiled and cradled Anyu's neck, praising him.
Sheng Yuan was also stroking his hands: "Yes! Yes! It's a helpless move!"
While the three of them were chatting and laughing, the coachman had already placed the carriage outside the dining room where King Jing was entertaining guests.
"Let's go! Let's go eat at a big restaurant!" Sheng Yuan jumped out of the car first and waved to the two companions.
Anyu and Lu Sheng followed down, looked up at the impressive signboard of the dining room, and strode in with Shengyuan.
…
Ever since King Jing showed his goodwill, it seemed as if the previous barrier between them had disappeared, and there was no awkwardness even during meals and conversations.
"After the academy examination, there will be a talent show. When the nine girls enter the palace, it is like returning home. Naturally, they do not need my care. However, if your sister needs it, my mother and concubine can take care of her."
Prince Jing smiled, twirling his wine glass, and said warmly: "Sister, unlike you, Ninth Lady, you have grown up in the palace since childhood. It is always good to have more people paying attention to you."
His words made Shengyuan's ears perk up. It was like a radar that turned a few times before infrared light could capture the signal and analyze it!
Although King Jing's words sounded like a sign of goodwill, but... he mentioned his sister in words, which had to make Sheng Yuan wary.
Prince Jing is already established and is more than ten years older than her sister, but the problem is that his position as princess has been vacant so far, so it may not be impossible to imagine.
This favor cannot be touched!
Sheng Yuan made a judgment instantly!
While her thoughts were changing, she didn't show any signs of it on her face. She just blinked in confusion, seemed to have thought about it seriously, and embarrassedly thanked Prince Jing for his kindness: "...It's just that Princess Cheng helped me with the arrangements before. If I have to work hard for Mrs. Cen again, , it seems too flamboyant! My sister is different from me. She has a quiet and calm temperament, and she always likes to keep a low profile. If I bother another prince again, I’m afraid she won’t feel comfortable knowing about it.”
When King Jing heard what she said, not only was he not dissatisfied, but his smile became more sincere: "It's because I was not thinking well. With nine girls in the middle, my sister's draft process will naturally go smoothly in Tai'an."
