But if Gu Jingyun wanted to prepare land for Li Baolu, he would never ask the queen mother to send it, not to mention the land from her dowry.

   However, Gu Jingyun did not return to the palace, but directly found a box and put it on the title deed and sent it to the Prince's Mansion, so that the prince could hand it over to the second prince.

  The second prince is twelve years old and shares the same mother as the prince. Most of the dowry of the queen mother will be left to him in the end, and some will be left to the third prince.

   The second prince received this gift with a question mark on his forehead. He could only ask the prince who brought him the box, "Brother Prince, why did you think of giving me Zhuangzi? Don't you mean that the gentleman is very poor?"

   "Who told you that the gentleman is poor?" The prince knocked on his head, picked up the land deed in the box, and said, "Be obedient in the future, don't always sum it up by yourself, the name on this land deed is the royal grandmother's..."

  The prince understood after a little thought. He put the title deed into the box, patted his brother on the shoulder and said, "Take it and show it to the imperial grandmother."

  The second prince pouted, although he was a little confused, he still obediently went to the queen mother.

  The Queen Mother sighed slightly when she saw the land deed that was sent back, "Forget it, since Mr. Gu gave it to you, then you can accept it."

  The second prince walked away with another box in his hand, with a puzzled look on his face, but thinking that he had an extra Zhuangzi in plain sight, he would make money every year, and he was happy with a little more pocket money.

Don't think that the prince is very rich. He was also very poor when he was a minor. The monthly schedule is fixed every month. something you like.

   The third child is miserable. His mother-in-law is only a concubine, and the mother's family does not have much money. Except for Yuelu, the prince and elder brother occasionally support him, and he is not richer than him.

   But the third child is too young, and there are not many things to buy now.

  This village is so big, and he earns at least 1,000 taels every year. If he saves some money, he can use 80-100 taels in a month, plus his monthly schedule and the support of his mother-in-law and the prince's brother...

  The second prince was instantly excited, and happily carried the box and ran back to his palace. With this money, he could buy a lot more things.

   At this time, the Queen Mother was leaning on the couch, feeling a little bad. Eunuch Yan walked in lightly and said in a low voice, "Niangniang, the Second Highness is very happy and is going back humming a song."

  The Queen Mother laughed, feeling slightly happy, "This child is too easy to satisfy."

   "Forget it," the queen mother thought for a while and said, "since he doesn't want to accept us, he won't give it away. In the future, you can pick up some gold and silver jewelry to send, and you should add makeup to the Li family."

"Yes."

  Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, Da Chu is very busy from the emperor to the people of Limin, and the time runs away like a wild horse running away without even leaving a shadow.

  Li Baolu has to prepare New Year's gifts from her family every day, she has to go to the academy for classes, and she has to write questions. Before she realized it, it was only half a month before the Chinese New Year.

   And it's time for the final exam.

   This time, Qingxi Academy and Songshan Academy are joint exams.

  The women's college and the women's college are together, and the men's college and the men's college use the same test papers.

   That’s right, although the test papers are the same, they are tested and marked together, but the rankings are arranged separately.

   But because the test papers are the same, you can see who is better and who is worse just by looking at the scores, and it doesn’t matter if they are ranked together.

   This is another combined examination of the two major colleges in the past 18 years, which is rare.

   Actually, the two academies joined together at the beginning just to make the male and female academies develop more harmoniously, but halfway through the stipulation, Mr. Huang Shan didn’t know what kind of psychology he had, and on a whim, suggested that the women’s academies should take exams together this year.

  Su Shanchang agreed without even thinking about it, and in turn suggested that since the women's colleges are all taking exams together, let's just join the men's colleges, and let's be our two colleges to learn from each other.

Mr. Huang Shan answered with a smile regardless of Deputy Chief Zhao's stop, so the teachers from the two major academies began to try their best to solve the questions, and then combined the questions they gave into four test papers according to a certain proportion, sealed them and put them in a box, and then The invited Guozijian will draw the test paper, whichever one is drawn will be used.

fair and just.

   Now, the exam will start tomorrow. Li Baolu's task for the past three days is to invigilate the exam, so she can relax after her busy work.

   After the exam is over, we are busy with grading.

   Fortunately, there are few students and many teachers. It takes only two days to read the test papers, and then remove the sticky paper to record the score ranking. This can be completed in half a day, and the remaining half day is used to make an analysis report.

   In this combined exam, it is not the students of the women's school who are most nervous, but the students of the men's school.

  The men's school of Qingxi Academy has always been slightly inferior to the men's school of Songshan Academy, and the competition between them is very fierce, almost to the point where the king does not see the king.

   And because the women's school is newly opened, the little girls are very confident in each other. As long as they are not compared with the male students, they are all striding forward with majesty.

   So when they came to collect their final results, they were all apprehensive, but they all had confident smiles on their faces.

  Jokes, can’t compare to those boys who are going to take the imperial examinations, can’t they compare to the girls who just entered the academy like them?

  Li Baolu entered the Yongmei class with a calm face. The little girls who were still full of self-confidence smiled and sat back to their seats a little nervous.

Li Baolu put down the test papers and transcripts in her hands, glanced up at the students in the classroom, and said solemnly: "The results of this exam are out, our Yongmei class ranks second among ten classes in the third grade, and in the two major classes. The students in the academy ranked third in the class, and the first place in the total score was in our class. The highest score in each subject accounted for three in our class, which is the class with the largest number of students..."

   The little girls let out low exclamations, and their eyes were full of joy. They were very satisfied with this achievement.

Li Baolu was also very satisfied, as long as their class didn't drag their back legs too seriously, but she didn't say that, but changed the conversation: "Everyone has made great progress, and the teachers have also said that as long as you If you can maintain such a learning progress and attitude, it is not impossible for you to catch up with your classmates in the men's college over time, so are you ready to be ashamed in next year's midterm exam?"

   The whole class was silent, and everyone thought of the fiasco in the midterm exam.

  Li Baolu smiled slightly and said, "Why, you only have the guts to compete with the women's school of Songshan Academy, but don't you have the guts to compare with the classmates of the men's school?"

  Ouyang Qing narrowed her eyes and looked at Zheng Dan. She took the lead to stand up and salute, "Students are willing to fight again."

   The rest of the people also stood up and slammed it to the end, "Students will do their best!"

  Li Baolu watched the complacency swept away from them, replaced by a raging fighting spirit, nodded slightly and said, "Very good, then let's send the test papers and transcripts."

Li Baolu handed out the test papers and transcripts, gave them a quarter of an hour to exchange their results, and then knocked on the table: "I won't explain the test papers to you, you all go back and explain it yourself, if you don't understand, you can ask your classmates first. , if you don't understand, you can ask the elders, and if you can't answer, you can write to me, and I will answer them one by one. There are still two quarters of an hour before the end of get out of class, so what are we going to do?"

  Wan Zhihe smiled, "What does Mr. want us to do?"

  Li Baolu smiled and said: "I want to ask how you plan to spend this year?"

   "Isn't the New Year's Eve the same every year? Have a New Year's Eve dinner, keep a vigil, pay a New Year's Eve, get a red envelope, visit relatives, and maybe someone will hold a flower banquet after the seventh day of the first lunar month, and you may get together at that time."

   "You can also go to Huguo Temple to offer incense to appreciate plums. Every year in the first month of the first month, the top incense in Huguo Temple is very popular. If we can't get the top incense, we can just grab a stick of incense."

  Ouyang Qing saw Li Baolu looking at them with a smile, and asked aloud, "Is there any activity, sir?"

  Zhu Fanghua rolled his eyes and shouted, "I see, I heard that the courtyard of your husband's house was just renovated this year. Could it be that your family also has a flower banquet?"

  Li Baolu shook her head and smiled and said, "My garden will be repaired in autumn. It's bare, but I didn't give you any rewards. But I have an idea, but I don't know if you guys are interested."

Li Baolu paused and said, "The academy is going to be closed for the Chinese New Year. When I passed by Chunhui Academy just now, I saw the schoolworkers taking things out. It seems that they are all the schoolwork you abandoned in the past, such as abandoned paintings, woodworking, paper-cuts, etc. Among them, paintings are the most important things. You have the most paper, roll after roll, I have seen those paintings of yours, although there are occasional flaws, the skills are a little immature, but they all have advantages. Are those paintings drawn by students from the art club?"

  Everyone looked at Wan Zhihe, because she was the president of the third-level painting art club.

Wan Zhihe got up and replied, "Yes, because there are flaws, so we abandoned them. We wanted to deal with it ourselves, but the janitor in charge of Chunhui Academy said they could deal with it, so we always handed it over to them. , I didn't expect them to pile up in the courtyard."

   She thought Li Baolu was blaming them.

Li Baolu smiled slightly and said, "Your paintings with flaws are still of good skill, how about those without flaws? So I want to hold an art exhibition for you, so that you can display your proud works, but I don't know about you. I would like to."

  Wan Zhihe's eyes lit up, she didn't expect such a good thing, she nodded excitedly, and then hesitantly said: "Can our paintings really be exhibited? No, won't it be laughable?"

Li Baolu said indifferently and affirmatively: "No. But there are many details about this matter. If you really want to, you can connect with the members of the painting club of other classes in a while, select a few representatives, and come to me after school. Let's have a good talk."

  Li Baolu has seen their paintings. Although the brushes are immature, they are not similar to the ordinary paintings in calligraphy and painting shops. The most important thing is that there are many works with aura in them.

   And Li Baolu's move is not to give them a name, but to let them continue to pay attention to what they are interested in. There is no need to give up their hobbies for knowledge in books.

  The teacher who taught painting complained to her that because the final exam was approaching, the students' painting skills had not improved but regressed. She also found that several children were secretly reviewing other lessons in her class, which made her angry enough.

  The score of the painting course is relatively small, and even after entering the fourth grade, this course will be changed from a compulsory course to an elective course.

   But Li Baolu can see that those who can join the art club are those who really love painting or are good at painting. She doesn't want them to give up this for one exam.

   She would slowly tell them that even though these skills were a small part of their test scores, they were still useful, and that they would also bring them glory and achievement.
