"Esteemed wangfei, all of these girls are very pretty. Our Banyan City doesn't have anything else, but the girls that are raised by this water and soil are all very pretty. This is the file for the girls, and it details their family background and character. Please rest assured Esteemed wangfei, this old one has already helped you pass the test, and this was left behind after meticulously selecting them. "

The matchmaker had put in a lot of effort for this.

Ban Xia personally flipped through the file as she handed it over.

It had to be said that the matchmaker had saved her a lot of trouble this time. If she had to personally make the selection, it would take at least three to five days before she could come up with something like this.

Another important problem was that she was not familiar with the Banyan City, so of course no matchmaker would be familiar with this place.

Ban Xia hastily flipped through the documents and closed it immediately. Regarding these documents, she was not too interested in them.

"You can all walk around the lobby first."

The first thing he had to examine was the shape and form of these girls.

Zhang Liang was born with such good looks and his physique was naturally handsome. If he were to get married, he would naturally have to marry a girl with a good figure and good looks.

After walking down this circle, Ban Xia did not find any problems.

"Alright, let me ask you a few more questions. Now is the first question, do you all know how to cook? "What's the dish that you usually specialize in?"

Since they were looking for a good wife for Zhang Liang, then naturally, they had to know how to cook.

Otherwise, would he marry a little ancestor and go home? Then, when was done with working on the outside, would he still have to return to his own house to serve his little ancestor?

In the end, there were still no flaws in this round. All the girls had culinary skills and also told each other their specialties.

"Alright, I'll give each of you a stick of incense time. You guys make the best dishes you've just announced. If you don't make the dishes by then, you will be eliminated."

With Ban Xia's order, the competition officially began.

This was the most fair and open competition. The location of the competition was the kitchen of the residence. The kitchen men and cooks in the kitchen had all retreated to the side, giving up their territories.

The rule of the competition was that each person was given only a single incense stick of time to make the best dish. No one was allowed to help; one had to complete the entire meal on their own and only provide the necessary ingredients and seasonings.

This was a true test. From the very start of the competition, some people started to secretly worry.

Someone had already lied to him that he knew nothing about cooking, but he knew how to say anything. The dish he was the most proficient in was just a casual pinch. In fact, he had never actually done it before.

How could such a person endure the test? How could he complete the dishes alone?

When it came to this girl's turn, she was still unwilling. She forced herself to go into the kitchen, mistook the sugar in the sugar bowl for salt and threw the garlic into the pot without breaking it.

The matchmaker's face had turned green from anger, and as for Ban Xia, her expression was naturally no better.

"How dare you lie in front of the imperial concubine. You clearly don't know how to cook, why did you lie to the Esteemed wangfei?" What angered the matchmaker even more was that this girl who did not know the culinary arts was clearly the girl who had previously secretly stuffed money into her hands outside the residence.

Now, it was because she wanted to protect this lady and help her with this beautiful thing. She wanted to help her with a few good words in front of the Esteemed wangfei.

Of course, the most unfortunate thing was that the girl who was so generous was actually the first to be eliminated.

"Esteemed wangfei, I know I was wrong, I will not do that again. I hope that Esteemed wangfei can show me some kindness and give me another chance. Other than that, I don't know how to cook, I know everything else." But the girl was clearly not resigned to it, and actually kneeled down to plead with Ban Xia.

Ban Xia coldly replied. "The lady this wangfei is looking for must have a culinary skills. These are the most basic skills, you can go back now!"

The implication was that this person no longer had a chance.

In Ban Xia's eyes, her request was as natural as pie. A man with a wife, isn't he just someone who knows his place? Whenever he went home, he would always have a mouthful of hot food to eat and hot soup to drink.

"Second question, which one of you doesn't know how to be a heroine? If there is, you should stand out as soon as possible and save each other time. "

Other than culinary skills, Ban Xia's second request was to become a female disciple.

Zhang Liang was not some noble young master who came from a famous family, he had been busy all year out, loyal to Qian Yexun, so naturally, he had to have a good wife at home.

Last time, the young lady who did not know how to cook lost face because of her lie. This time, a young lady who took the initiative to admit that she did not know how to make a girl red was eliminated.

Out of the six girls the matchmaker had brought in, only four remained.

"Do any of you know how to write?"

Ban Xia felt that there was still a bit of a goal to pursue in this life of her. By following Qian Yexun's side, Zhang Liang could already take charge of his own. Considering the future, this was the reason why Ban Xia raised this issue again.

"I know a few words and I can write a few, but I can't write very well. As for drawing, I know how to do it too."

"I know how to write and draw."

"I won't, I'm poor, and my parents can't read either."

"I won't, neither will I. Most of the little sisters around me are illiterate, but I don't think there will be any bad effects. Who would still deliberately ask if they could read or write at all? As for drawing, it seems even more unnecessary. "

The girl who talked the most was also unwilling. She always thought that since she could be considered to be the most outstanding in terms of looks, she had to fight for more opportunities for herself.

But Ban Xia just so happened to hate people who lacked the ability to defend themselves.

"You … It's time to go! "

She had eliminated the girl who had been the most talkative on the spot.

The girl obviously felt that she had lost someone here, so she covered her face and ran away.

The next person to be eliminated was that girl who didn't speak much, but was also unable to read or understand words.

"Come, this wangfei has two letters here. Both of you, come up and read them to this wangfei." Ban Xia took out the two letters that she had prepared earlier.

The last two girls said they could read and paint.

"You go first." Ban Xia randomly picked one of the girls, and then, she randomly picked one of the letters in her hands.

In the end, the girl really knew how to read and write. She read out the original letter without making a single mistake.

"Good, you did well. Next, you will try to write an answer according to the contents of this letter." This was Ban Xia's other test.

The majority of messages were delivered through letters, so if one could not read or write, then they were equivalent to a blind person. This was a life threatening situation.

Of course, if it came from an ordinary family, this would absolutely not have any effect. In any case, it would not affect their livelihood.

But being by Zhang Liang's side, was definitely special.

What if he needed to use it someday? It was better to have another skill than to have another one.

Of course, the test on this point was her own selfishness.

She thought, if the women around Zhang Liang could be a little stronger, then Zhang Liang could be better off without any worries in the future. After the two of them became husband and wife, they would also have some common interests and hobbies.

For example, reading books and drawing, it was more beneficial for their intimacy and communication.

"As for you, this is the last letter. You can read it."

What made Ban Xia not disappointed was that the last girl had actually finished reading the entire letter, and there was not a single wrong word in the middle of the letter.

The matchmaker's forehead was sweating profusely. She was nervous and uneasy.

There were only six girls that were meticulously selected, and after such a short period of time, only two girls remained. The two girls must definitely give her some face, not lose her face, and not lose the face of the Banyan City girls.

"Not bad, you should copy it too."

To be able to read and write was not a particularly powerful skill. The real test would be at this stage.

It was important to write a reply, and the contents of the reply, to consider every word and word, and to express the meaning of the whole thing.

To a young miss from a wealthy family, or a young miss who was raised in a room, these things weren't difficult for them.

But this was the Banyan City, this was the border region, the citizens often did not have enough to eat or wear, they did not have any spare money, and could send all their children to school to read and write.

At this time, Ban Xia even thought of the most serious and realistic question, was whether or not there was a school in the entire Banyan City, and whether or not there was a teacher in the school.

She made a note of this in silence, intending to go back and ask someone else to find out.

The two girls' replies were quickly completed.

Ban Xia finished reading the letters one by one. The words on these two letters were written well, and if one must compare their strength, Ban Xia had already come to a decision.

"Since the two of you said you could paint, then wouldn't you mind painting a picture for this wangfei right now?"

Painting was the final test of her test.

This test had been randomly added by her.

Actually, she didn't even know how to draw. How could she ask others to draw for her? However, she was curious to see it.

She propped up her drawing board. In the end, the girls' drawing skills didn't surprise her that much.
