The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 114 Passing Three Levels (1)
Ding Xiang got Shen Xuan's explanation and kept this matter in her heart, thinking about asking more in the future.After seeing that Shen Xuan was fine, Ding Xiang went to the kitchen to serve warm meals, and the person who slept so long must be hungry.

Ding Xiang waited for Shen Xuan to finish eating before entering the room to clean up the bowls and chopsticks. Although Shen Xuan asked the two to follow the maid's rules, she firmly opposed the rule that she was by her side when she was eating.It's fine for others, let the two of them, who are sisters in their hearts, serve him for dinner, and it is estimated that the delicious food will be tasteless.

Shen Xuan drank tea after dinner.After digesting and digesting, he went into his study, sat at the table, opened the snack bar's ledger and began to look.Ding Xiang never bothered Shen Xuan again, and it was late in the afternoon when Shen Xuan closed the account book and walked out of the study.

In the front yard, Father Shen and Mrs. Zhou had come back from the outside, and were sitting there discussing today's wedding scene.Discussing the new daughter-in-law.With money in his hands, this person began to compare. In the past few years, the wedding scene in Shatu Village is better than that of one family.It gets busier every year.

The daughter-in-law Shen Daniu married was the daughter of the shopkeeper in a small tavern in the town, and she was said to be very beautiful.In the past few years, Shen Daniu followed Brother Chun and the others to read a lot of characters in private. After growing up, he found a decent job in the town.This man is tall and strong.With a good family background, it is not difficult to get married. I heard that this daughter-in-law has seen it several times.They have been selected layer by layer.

Shen Xuan chatted with Father Shen and Mrs. Zhou, and Shen Shuoxing was picked up by the servant shortly after.Seeing that it was getting late, the family of four gathered together for dinner.Night fell, and the day passed quickly.

At Yuelai Inn in Beijing, the four Qiu brothers are waiting anxiously.From time to time, he looked up and looked outside, seeing that it was almost noon, and the servant beside him hadn't come back yet.

The four of them had just taken the exam yesterday, and the process of waiting for the result was really worrying.To talk about why the assessment results came out so quickly, I really have to mention the specialness of this academy.

There are two academies recruiting this time, one is Tsinghua Academy and the other is Peking University Academy.The first requirement of Tsinghua Academy is that the students must be the young masters of officials of the fourth rank or above. This academy is defined as an academy for the powerful.Brother Qiu and the others didn't think about it at all, which didn't match their identities.Although there are individual special admissions, they don't think they will have this honor.Although Peking University Academy has no requirements on the identity of the students, it has a series of requirements on the appearance, conduct, virtue, and knowledge of the students. To enter this academy, you need to pass three tests, except for those who have a letter of recommendation.

The first pass, the interview.Six wives live together in one room, interviewing 20 people at a time, those who are too ugly and too flirtatious are not wanted.Don't be too fat, too thin, don't want to look like a mouse, don't want to be big-eyed.After a series of 20 people, only ten people can remain.The second level is the talent assessment.In addition to reading, I must have one thing I know.Brother Chun hit a set of punches.Huhu Shengwei passed; Brother Xia showed his medical skills and passed all the herbs; Brother Qiu played a game of chess.Lost the five sons and passed; Brother Dong is the best, he actually made the "beggar chicken" taught to him by Shen Xuan, I don't know if the examiner was greedy by the fragrance, anyway, he passed in the end, but the "beggar chicken" Also left by the examiner.It is said that the people who followed Dongge into the house after the exam saw chicken bones in the house.The third pass is the written test.There are only three questions in total: one is couplets, the other is writing poems, and the third is to explain my views on the assessment of the academy.

"Master. Master, I passed the exam." The young servant Mingyan and Banhe ran into the inn one after another.

"Did you really pass the exam? Can you see it clearly?" Brother Dong who was closest to the door was the first to speak.

"Can you see how many people passed the exam?" Brother Chun didn't know what to do. He was the worst educated among his brothers.

"Oh, don't drink it yet, hurry up and finish." Saohong and Hoe Yao next to him were also in a hurry, looking at the companion crane and Mingyan who were pouring tea fiercely, wishing to step forward and grab it.

Brother Qiu didn't say anything, but the clenched hands under his sleeves also showed his nervousness.

"Ahem, I passed the exam." Banhe happily replied after hearing Brother Chun's voice, put down the teapot, coughed and cleared his throat.

"The four young masters have all passed the exam, and they've even been ranked." Mingyan said immediately.

"Really passed the exam?" Brother Chun no longer cared about the ranking after hearing that he passed the exam.

"Well, all four young masters passed the exam. Master Qiu is third. Master Xia is fifth. Master Chun is eighth, and Master Dong is No. 15." Mingyan continued.

"It's really great, all four of our brothers passed the exam." Brother Chun beamed with joy, and now he no longer cares about the worst thing about Brother Dong's exam.

slap.Bang, there was a knock on the door.

"Uncle Bai?" Brother Xia looked at Bai Ming who walked in and called out.

"By the way, Uncle Bai, where have you been this early in the morning?" Brother Qiu asked Bai Ming who had obviously come back from outside.Thinking about it now, not only did Bai Ming not see anyone this morning, but Bao Qi and Bai Xu Niang were also absent, so you thought they stayed in the room and didn't come out?Now that I think about it, the two of them were not in the inn at all, otherwise Bai Xu's restless little guy couldn't keep silent.None of them had heard his voice all morning.

"First of all, congratulations to the four young masters for being admitted to Peking University Academy. Speaking of the third young master, the slave is going to look at the house on XX Street." Bai Ming replied calmly.

"Looking at the house?" the little servant Panhe asked, not knowing why he wanted to look at the house.He followed Brother Dong's habit of eating delicious food, and didn't care much about other things.Banhe and Hoyao are Aunt Xu's sons. The Shen family wanted them to stay when they came to the capital this time, but the Xu family and his wife were grateful to the Shen family and considered that it was better for the two sons to follow the young master than to stay with them, so they let them stay. People also followed to the capital.

"Well, we should buy a small courtyard. With so many of us, we can't stay in the inn all the time. It's because Uncle Bai is thoughtful." Thinking of this, Brother Chun quickly expressed his appreciation for Bai Ming's behavior.

"That's right, why didn't I think of it? It's good to live in an inn. I just feel uncomfortable." Brother Dong exclaimed in surprise.

"Are you planning to go there now?" Brother Qiu asked, not dissatisfied with Bai Ming's private decision on this matter, presumably Bai Ming had already brought his wife and children there.

Everyone in the Shen family knew that Shen Xuan trusted Bai Ming, and what Bai Ming said and did represented her thoughts to a certain extent, so Brother Qiu and his four brothers always respected Bai Ming.They also thought that Bai Ming acted according to Shen Xuan's wishes this time, and they never thought that the house was not a small courtyard at all and was independent.A large mansion.

"Yes, young masters. There are already carriages waiting outside the inn. I hope the four young masters can pack their luggage as soon as possible. The servants will go down and leave the room first, and wait for the young masters downstairs." Bai Ming saw brother Qiu and the others. Asked to explain aloud, after finishing speaking, he turned and went downstairs.Humans, sometimes it has to be said, are a very strange advanced animal.Take Bai Ming as an example, since he recognized Shen Xuan as his master, he has shown great respect to Shen Xuan.Stay true to your duty and work hard all the time.If you talk less and do more, you are afraid of making mistakes; but facing Brother Qiu and the others, they call themselves slaves just because the other party is Shen Xuan's brother, and they can only do not go out of line as for other feelings.There is no fear.
