The shop assistant brought dinner, one meat, one vegetarian, two bowls of rice, and the rare thing was an apple!

"apple!"

Xia Shanshan stretched out her hand in surprise.

Xia Qianqian's eyes were quick, she snatched the apple, and sneered, "Xia Shanshan, do you still have to get your stomach down?"

"Uh, I can't hold it anymore, eldest sister, eat it." Xia Shanshan withdrew her hand in embarrassment.

"Take away the empty plates on the table and wash them, put them in the food box, and be careful not to break them." Xia Qianqian got angry when she looked at the empty plates. It was obviously a snack given to her by her ancestors, but she failed to eat two pieces!

"Hey, why do you want me to wash it? Just wait for the shop assistant to pick it up." Xia Shanshan pouted and looked at Xia Qianqian resentfully.

"This is not the inn."

Xia Shanshan suddenly felt strange: "Where did that come from?"

"You don't have to know, just do as I tell you." Xia Qianqian began to nibble on the apple, which was crisp and sweet.

Xia Shanshan panicked, swallowed her saliva and went to wash the dishes.

Before the winter solstice, the days are already very short, and it will be dark after dinner. This time, the priest in charge of the sacrifice in Pingning Town came as promised, and the girls all dressed up and went out to meet the priest.

The priest was an old woman with gray hair, wearing a black and white sacrificial robe, standing in the hall with a solemn expression. Cangmai's eyes swept over the girls who were participating in the election.

Xia Qianqian stood at the end, she looked at the priest curiously, and always felt that she had a special affinity with the old man.

Of the dozen or so girls, she was the only one who dared to look at the priest boldly.

The priest also noticed Xia Qianqian and asked, "What's your name?"

"Xia Qianqian." Xia Qianqian wanted to pretend to be reserved, but her mischievous eyes betrayed her true emotions.

This is a funny girl! The priest thought so in his heart, and continued to ask, "Can you read?"

"Know!" Xia Qianqian was overjoyed, "I know a lot of words!"

A faint smile finally appeared on the solemn face of the priest. She took out a book from her sleeve and said, "Come and listen."

"Yes."

Xia Qianqian opened the book and recited it according to it: "There are many millets and grains in a good year, and there are also tall grains, trillions of grains, and rice grains. It is the wine for the sake of wine, and the ancestors and wives of the ancestors. By coordinating a hundred rituals, it will bring blessings to all Confucians..."

"Not bad." The priest was very satisfied and looked at the other girls, "Who else can read?"

No one dared to answer.

In ancient times, it was preached that women's lack of talent is virtue, not to mention that they were born in the village, and their ancestors were illiterate. The selection of jade girls over the years has not been said to be a test of literary talent. Today, suddenly, the test of Wenmo has made all the girls unconvinced. Li Cui said, "Priest, we are choosing the Jade Girl, not the champion."

"If there is a beautiful girl, Liezu Liezong will like it more." The priest lowered his face.

In Pingning Town, apart from officials, they belonged to the majesty of priests, and no one dared to speak anymore.

Xia Qianqian was secretly happy in her heart: The five taels of silver are hers!

"Okay, let's go here today, let's all go back!" said the priest.

The girls were reluctant to leave. Although it was not announced who was the Jade Girl, it was definitely Xia Qianqian based on the situation. When they came, they failed!

Xia Qianqian bowed and walked back. She had just gone to the corridor on the second floor, but saw Li Cui standing beside the priest, her hands in a strange posture, as if she was forcing something.

Xia Qianqian suddenly woke up, and the MMP almost jumped out: Li Cui actually gave the priest money! It's a bribe!

"Don't say anything." Liu Zhenzhen stopped Xia Qianqian at the right time.

Xia Qianqian lowered her voice angrily: "Did you see it too?"
