Chapter 29: small report

This stack of question papers is prepared in advance. After all, it is only used to cultivate the knowledge of Princess Tantan and her companions. Overall, it is not complicated, and the required quantity is not large, so the gentlemen will do their own work. After the question was written, twelve copies were copied by someone. The characters were of the same size, regular and neat, and they were all in beautiful pavilion style.

After Xie Wei gave the order, he lowered his head and continued to unwind the scroll.

After dismantling, he counted the number of question papers with his eyes lowered slightly, and then asked the three old Hanlin who came with him: "Will you old masters take a look at it?"

All three stood still and shook their heads.

One of the old Hanlin sighed, and said: "A group of little girls are studying, and this exam is like a child's play. What's the purpose? Isn't it all like that? Master Xie just read it."

Xie Wei glanced at him, didn't say anything, just handed the question paper to the palace man.

The palace servants took the test papers with both hands, and handed them out to everyone one by one.

Jiang Xuening happened to be the last one.

As soon as the question paper was placed in front of her, she went through it quickly: the question on it was almost the same as what she did in her previous life, and it was also the same as the one that Yan Lin gave her last night.

Then I heard the first Xie Wei said: "This exam is just to see what level of knowledge and cultivation you are accompanying the students. The questions proposed by you gentlemen are relatively simple, and the difficulty of answering is not high. Therefore, the time for answering the paper is only It will take an hour and a half, and you will be asked to hand in your answer sheets at a quarter to six. The three gentlemen and I will spend two quarters of time reviewing the papers and making a judgment on the spot. Now you can start answering the papers."

His voice is flat and calm, without waves.

When it fell into people's ears, there was a feeling like a breeze blowing on the face, perhaps because there was a sense of relief hidden in these words, which easily dispelled the tension when people entered the palace and relaxed a little.

Those below, such as Xiao Shu, Fan Yilan, etc., are all well-educated and confident. After hearing Xie Wei's words, they all dipped their pens in ink and answered the handed-out question papers on blank rice paper.

On the contrary, Jiang Xuening stared at the question paper for a long time.

After a long while, I stretched out my hand, with my five fingers bent like chicken feet, I grabbed a small tube of pen next to it, and started writing crookedly and unhurriedly on the answer sheet.

The gentlemen above had already sat down on the chairs on the left, and only asked the palace servants to make tea and bring it up.

They were all old scholars in the Hanlin Academy, and they couldn't help shaking their heads when they saw the twelve little girls over there who were buried in their answers.

The old gentleman who just replied to Xie Wei said: "A princess is clamoring to study, and the Holy Majesty invites a few people to teach at will. After all, the daughter's family doesn't need to understand too much. Husband, if a husband dies and obeys his son, it’s nothing more than studying the "Book of Filial Piety" and "The Precepts for Women", but it is still necessary to make such a big battle. If you don’t know, you may think that some prince is out of the cabinet to study. The old man The Imperial Academy has been diligently studying for more than ten years, and now it has come to teach a group of girls, what is it like!"

Xie Wei sat next to him, held the teacup with lowered eyebrows, lifted the lid, and didn't answer.

On the contrary, the two gentlemen next to him were somewhat dissatisfied by these words.

One of them also sighed, and echoed: "Who says it's not? I've been an official for so many years, and I've never been asked to teach female dolls! Anyway, I'm also from the top two ranks, and I read the Four Books and Five Classics, so I came to teach the princess." Reading with my companion, I'm afraid it's only suitable for some introductory things. It's not that I think highly of myself, it's really a sledgehammer. It's just you and me. After all, they are just a few pedantic old men who have failed in the courtyard. However, Master Xie, who presides over sutra feasts on weekdays, actually ordered to give lectures to the princess and these companions. It is really incomprehensible. It is even more incomprehensible that Master Xie agreed."

These old gentlemen were all from noble backgrounds in the Imperial Academy, and they had their own integrity, even in front of the emperor, they didn't hesitate to say a lot. What they said now has been said several times in the court.

However, Shen Lang favored the eldest princess, insisted on going her own way, and would not listen to anyone's persuasion.

So it's useless to talk about it.

Xie Wei had heard them complain before, and every time he dragged himself out to talk about it, it seemed that he was also very dissatisfied with this matter.

But he also doesn't reveal that he has too much emotion about it.

At the moment, she only glanced at the accompanying ladies from aristocratic families who were seriously answering the paper, and her gaze was fixed on Jiang Xuening's pen-holding posture. Unknowingly, she frowned slightly, took a sip of tea, and said: "All the companions are answering, I'd better talk less, so as not to disturb you."

It's hard for the old gentlemen to say more now.

The invigilation in the examination room has always been very boring.

Xie Wei brought a copy of "Shou Bai Lun" with him, and sat on the side to read slowly, page by page.

But those gentlemen could not sit still.

His Majesty ordered them to teach the eldest princess and a group of girls from aristocratic families who were accompanying her, and they were a little dissatisfied. After sitting here for a while, they could neither speak nor read, so they simply said to go outside to breathe, and even "invigilate the exam" "Throwing away this matter, they went out from Fengchen Hall together, leaving only Xie Wei here.

From the beginning to the end, Xie Wei didn't even look at them, he just flipped through his book.

Although Jiang Xuening was sitting in the corner, just now he listened to the words of those old gentlemen, and saw that these people went out after not sitting for a while, so he couldn't help frowning for a while.

How else could he be an "old pedant"?

If you are so old, you should bury it in the ground!

In the future, even if she doesn't stay to read with her, she must call Shen Zhiyi for the small reports of these bad old men.
