The cannon fodder stepmother dressed as the villain Zai Zai

Chapter 12 The Mad Woman in the Ruined Temple

The two elders looked at it carefully and couldn't help but be stunned.

They were shocked at the same time and looked at each other.

"This, this is..."

"How is it? Elders, how do you do with this poem?" Sheng Yue's eyes were shining, and he had pricked up his ears and was ready to listen. The two elders humiliated Xu Yaqin in front of her and scolded her.

But the next moment, Sheng Yue's face suddenly changed.

I heard the two elders holding Xu Yaqin's exam papers, looking overjoyed and saying excitedly:

"A good poem, a good poem. This is really a good poem. I have never seen such a good poem in my life."

"How could it be? It's impossible..." Sheng Yue's face darkened, and he immediately rushed over and looked at Xu Yaqin's poem.

Then Sheng Yue was also stunned, because Xu Yaqin's poem was indeed very good and he couldn't fault it.

Therefore, Xu Yaqin also passed the second assessment smoothly, and not only passed easily, but also passed with No. 1 result.

This scene really made Butler Song, who was assisting with the exam, stunned.It turns out that this lady, who is not proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, has a profound knowledge of poetry, poetry and poetry, which is really hidden.

By the end of the second assessment, there were only about 20 girls from each family left on the field.

Although Xu Yaqin's performance far exceeded Sheng Yue's expectations, the second master Sheng did not panic at all because he was very sure of the content of the third assessment.

I saw Sheng Yue walking up to the crowd and coughing a few times, and then said seriously:

"This third exam is an off-site exam. You have all heard of the famous crazy woman from Chunxue Tower in Yandu City."

"She, it's her..." Upon hearing this name, everyone on the scene started talking about it.

Xu Yaqin looked puzzled, she had no idea at all.

It was only with Jiang Yuwei's whispered explanation that she learned what happened to this crazy woman.

It turns out that according to legend, there was a famous prostitution place in the city of Yandu called Chunxue Tower. On the Chunxue Tower, there used to be a beautiful oiran who is now the crazy woman.

At that time, the oiran was still an oiran, not the crazy woman that everyone calls her now. Her name at that time was Liu Qingxue.

It is said that in the past, Liu Qingxue met a white-faced scholar who came to Yandu City to take the exam in Beijing. The two were entangled together and fell in love with each other for a long time.

Maybe Liu Qingxue was in love, and she even spent a lot of money that she had earned over the years to study for the white-faced scholar. The white-faced scholar also immediately promised that he would come back when he was in high school or not. This Chunxuelou redeemed Liu Qingxue's life.

At that time, this incident was a good story in Yandu City.

But later, after the scientific examination, Liu Qingxue waited and waited in Chunxue Tower day and night, but she never saw the white-faced scholar look at her again.

So Liu Qingxue waited from spring until the snowy winter.She looked sad every day and no longer dressed up carefully. The number of guests gradually decreased, and her reputation as an oiran gradually declined.

But even so, the sweetheart of her heart never appeared again.Over time, rumors spread throughout the city of Yandu that Liu Qingxue was suffering from madness.Not long after, he was kicked out of Chunxue Tower, and even ended up living on the streets, where no one cared about him.

Now the former oiran Liu Qingxue has become a crazy woman in the mouths of men, women and children in Yandu City.This crazy woman has lost her sight, is numb, and is not mentally normal. She often babbles some vague and crazy words in her mouth. This is very famous in Yandu City.

After hearing what happened, Xu Yaqin couldn't help but sigh and sympathize with Liu Qingxue.

It's really pitiful. It's really not worth it to end up like this for a disgusting scumbag.

But what makes her curious is, what is the connection between this and the third level assessment question?
Everyone was also confused and looked up at Sheng Yue.

Sheng Yue stopped covering up and said frankly: "Everyone, the content of this third level of assessment is related to this crazy woman. As we all know, the crazy woman has been crazy for several years. Can any of you restore her sanity and become a normal person? , then it will be considered as passing the third level exam."

"How is this possible? This person has been crazy for so many years. How can she be restored to normal? We are not doctors. Second Master, aren't you deliberately trying to embarrass us?"

Suddenly, a lot of discussion broke out among the crowd.

Sheng Yue quickly stopped them: "Be quiet, be quiet. This is a question that I came up with after discussing with the elders. There is no doubt that if you can't pass, come back wherever you came from. There is no place for you in the Qingdu Marquis Mansion."

After Sheng Yue finished speaking, the more than 20 concubines suddenly fell silent.

Isn't it clear that the content of this third level of assessment is to drive them all out of the Marquis' Mansion?
This is not a question for people at all, is it?

Xu Yaqin also took a breath of cold air.

She murmured in her mind, is it reasonable to let this crazy woman regain her senses and become sane?
Soon, in front of the three examiners headed by Sheng Yue, all the surviving concubines left the Hou Mansion and were led by Mr. Sheng to a rather remote and desolate place in Yandu City. land.

It was a ruined temple. It was said to be a temple, but in fact there was only a bright roof left, and only a few broken tiles that could not even protect against wind and rain.

The walls of this ruined temple are filled with wind, and many of the objects and arrangements here are in dilapidated condition.

The original various Buddhist buildings outside the temple have become desolate. If it weren't for the dusty, dirty and old Buddha statue placed inside, no one would be able to tell that it was once a prosperous temple. !

According to Mr. Sheng's introduction, this temple is called Hongchen Temple. It used to be one of the most popular temples in Yandu City. The guests who come here to pray for blessings and incense all come here to seek marriage. It is said that the Buddha enshrined here is very spiritual and has countless Young men and women prayed for red strings in this temple, and hung bells expressing their love on the century-old tree in the yard!

The former courtesan also fell in love with the white-faced scholar whom she longed for.

It's a pity that things have changed and everything has changed...

The century-old tree had been burnt to nothing, and the bell tokens on which countless men and women had expressed their love were also gone.

Now in this ruined temple, there is only a mad woman curled up in a corner, covered with a shabby and thin piece of clothing to keep warm.

Xu Yaqin glanced at the crazy woman with disheveled hair and filthy face. Although she was already down and out, it was still easy to see her peerless beauty when she was young from the woman's face.

Sheng Yue and two clan elders stood not far away and pointed:
"Well, this is Liu Qingxue, the former oiran of Chunxue Tower, now the crazy woman. The question for your final test is her."
