After reading the whole family's minds, the eldest daughter awakened

Chapter 4 Falsely Accused of Cheating

"She is Li Youwei, the eldest daughter of the Li family. She came to the capital just a few months ago. She was a village girl before."

"The threshold of our college is so low. All cats and dogs can come in."

"Hush, be careful, the eldest princess likes her very much."

"What are you afraid of? Things are different now. The eldest princess can't even protect herself."

"Shut up, everyone, just go back to your place as Master teaches you on weekdays."

The dean came in from the door with several wives, and seriously scolded those children from aristocratic families who mocked Li Youwei.

Li Youwei hurriedly bowed and saluted, and his etiquette was impeccable.

Several people nodded with satisfaction, and then the dean said.

"Li Youwei, no matter who recommends you, if you want to enter Hongru Academy, you must pass the entrance exam."

"Yes, disciple understands."

The dean nodded again.

"Okay, the next exam is divided into essay and arithmetic.

Now you take filial piety as the title and complete an article of no less than a thousand words in one stick of incense. "

"Yes."

Li Youwei sat upright at the table, thought for a moment, dipped his pen in ink, and started writing with his head down.

Some brave children from aristocratic families gathered around to watch again.

The masters were blowing their beards and staring, but they were smiling and not afraid.

"Oops, she's holding the pen wrong."

"That's right, this is a word. It's so ugly. I just throw a handful of rice at random and the chickens will peck it. It's prettier than this."

Li Youwei had no chance to read or write when she was in the countryside. She spent all the money she earned on Li Yaozu and Li Mingzhu.

She only started learning to write in the few months after arriving in the capital. The ability to write like this is the result of her practicing day and night.

The dean touched his beard and nodded slightly.

The writing of this word is indeed ugly, but there is a faint sense of perseverance in it.

He knew Li Youwei's life experience, and it only took him a few months to write like this, which shows that he is a child with strong perseverance.

When the time for burning incense was up, Li Youwei stopped writing when the ashes of the last incense fell.

She held the article in both hands and handed it to the dean.

The other masters all came together to watch, some shook their heads, some nodded, and finally the dean announced the result.

"Li Youwei, your article is not very good. It has just reached the passing mark."

The dean's words made Li Youwei secretly relieved.

She knew that she had no literary talent, so the reason she passed this time was because her content was acceptable.

The children of the aristocratic families who were watching the fun laughed even more fiercely.

"Dean, it's time for our college to improve its entrance examination standards. Her article is nonsense."

"That's right, I can write articles like hers better than her."

"Everyone be quiet, let's take the arithmetic test next." The dean slammed the ruler on the table.

The dean is known to be impartial and selfless, and even students who are free to mess around will be afraid of seeing him angry.

There was silence in the school for a while, and the dean started to ask questions with his hands behind his back.

"There are chickens and rabbits in the same cage today. There are twenty-five on top and seven dozen on the bottom. How many chickens and rabbits are there in each cage?"

A stick of incense is lit and the timer starts.

Other students also subconsciously calculated on paper, and some even used their fingers.

Li Youwei did not write, just lowered his head quietly.

The two most troublesome students in the college couldn't help but start taunting them again.

"You can still get away with it after editing the article. This is an arithmetic problem. How could she, a country girl, do it?"

"That's right, if she gets the answer right this time, I'll show you how to eat while standing on your head."

Zhou Tengfei, the most dandy person in the college, slapped his chest and said exaggeratedly.

"Fifteen chickens, ten rabbits."

Li Youwei gave his answer softly but firmly.

The students who had not calculated the results yet raised their heads with suspicion in their eyes. In addition to these questioning glances, there is also an appreciative gaze.

Li Youwei followed his feeling and looked over.

He was a young man in his prime. Although he was still young, he had a calm and restrained temperament.

Seeing Li Youwei looking at him, he smiled gently back.

This smile was like flowers blooming, and her mood improved accordingly.

Li Youwei subconsciously wanted to know his impression of herself, but found that his mind-reading skills failed.

Only then did she realize that apart from the voices of her family and the voices of outsiders, she had only heard the voices of the eldest princess.

And every time I heard her voice, it was when I was in contact with her.

In other words, if you want to hear the voice of an outsider, you must first touch it.

Li Youwei looked away and met Zhou Tengfei's angry eyes. He felt that Li Youwei was deliberately provoking.

But because the dean was there, he had to endure it for now.

The dean's eyes lit up, he turned around and discussed with several other masters before happily announcing.

"The answer is correct. Congratulations to Li Youwei for obtaining the admission qualification."

Li Youwei had completely put down the mental arithmetic he was talking about.

She has been accustomed to living a life of careful planning since she was a child, plus the training given to her by the eldest princess these days.

For this kind of arithmetic problem, she can quickly give the answer using only mental arithmetic.

"Dean, wait a minute, I have a question."

Master Zhou frowned and spoke in a serious tone.

"Oh? Mr. Zhou, please speak."

"Li Youwei only read the book for a few months, but he quickly gave the answer without even calculating.

I think there is something fishy here. Maybe she has memorized the answer. "

After hearing this, several other masters also had doubts in their eyes.

After all, Li Youwei was recommended by the eldest princess. As a royal princess, it was possible that she could know some test questions in advance.

Zhou Tengfei seemed to have found a backbone, and his fat body was shaking with excitement.

"My uncle is right, she must have memorized the answer in advance."

The word uncle made Li Youwei understand that Master Zhou was actually Zhou Tengfei's uncle.

Zhou Tengfei was very hostile to her just now. Master Zhou was trying to vent his anger on his nephew.

I really didn't expect that the largest academy in the Nanchen Kingdom, which was under the emperor's feet, would be so smoky.

Really disappointing.

Just when other students were helping Zhou Tengfei attack Li Youwei, the young man's gentle voice sounded.

"Dean, ladies and gentlemen, I believe that Li Youwei answered it on his own."

"Prince, don't be deceived by her. People from this country are used to pretending to be pitiful."

Zhou Tengfei raised his head slightly, even to the current Crown Prince, he didn't show much respect.

The eldest princess has already given Li Youwei a general overview of the situation in the DPRK and China.

Nowadays, the noble concubine Zhou is favored, and even her family members have followed the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven.

In front of the unparalleled noble concubine, the queen had to stay out of the way.

Zhou Tengfei is the younger brother of Concubine Zhou and the only male of the Zhou family's generation, so he is used to being lawless.

"Zhou Tengfei, you must rely on evidence in everything, and talking about right and wrong with empty words is slander."

The prince has a loud voice, an upright look, a handsome face and a tall and slender figure.

Zhou Tengfei, who was short, fat and ugly, was simply reduced to dust.

He was angry, but didn't know how to refute.

Master Zhou saw his nephew's suppressed red face and hurriedly wanted to help him.

Li Youwei spoke first.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for trusting me. Dean, ladies and gentlemen, I did not cheat. To prove my innocence, please ask the question again."
