Chapter 41: Winning

The calibration officers on stage were assessing the results and the students off stage were talking about them.

Today Shen Miao has not made a fool of herself, not only to make the school test seems a bit boring, but also let the usual not take a positive look at her fellow students some attention up. People are strange, usually bad people as long as a little better performance, perhaps in the eyes of others will be able to salted fish.

Feng Anning was a bit nervous, and from time to time, she looked towards the side of the inspector on the stage. On the other hand, on the stage, without knowing what the reason was, a few adults seemed to be arguing a bit.

“It seems that today is also very intense.” Fu Xiu’an laughed: “But the daughter’s family, why bother to be so calculating, always will not enter the civil service.” His character has always been a little conceited, not afraid of these adults around him to hear and be dissatisfied, after all, some people’s daughters are those students who just went on stage.

“The opportunity for calibration is rare,” Fu Xiuyi said, “so naturally, you should take advantage of it.”

“Ninth brother has a good point.” Fu Xiu Hyun picked up the tea on the table and took a sip as he said, “If there is a particularly outstanding woman, ninth brother can also pay attention to some.” Although he looked calm and quiet, he was a bad deal. Both explicitly and implicitly, he was testing whether Fu Xiuyi would find himself a wife with a strong background.

“Fifth brother is joking.” Fu Xiuyi shook his head, “Father will make the decision on my marriage, where is it his turn to have a say.”

This is also true, Fu Xiuyi usually do things are arranged by the emperor, very few will be their own initiative to have any ideas. In the eyes of outsiders, such a prince is simply too meek, and not much ambition, and Dong Shufei exactly the same, but look in the eyes of Jing Wang Fu Xiu Hyun, but there are always so different.

“In life, there is always a fight, and the same goes for wives, doesn’t it?” King Jing’s words had a hidden meaning, “Until the end, who knows what the end will be?”

King Zhou also heard his brother’s temptation towards Fu Xiuyi, his eyes rolled and he fell silent.

It didn’t take long for the calibrator on that stage to step forward and announce the results.

In the zither category, unsurprisingly, Feng Anning came out on top. Originally, there is nothing particularly powerful in this group, Feng Anning can be considered very prominent. She was naturally happy, went up to receive the flower invitation for the inspection, and cheerfully came down to show it to Mrs. Feng. Mrs. Feng looked happy, this kind of honor for women, although they can not enter the civil service, but it is like the icing on the cake. The sons and daughters of noble families naturally do not lack wealth and honor, but their own talent and beauty, but they can be clearly delineated rank.

Von Anning then used today’s calibration to level up her rank.

In chess, it was Bai Wei who came out on top. There is a special record of the game of chess checker will draw the chess road to the following people to see, in order to show fairness. Shen Miao glanced at the game, a few times in the game, Bai Wei’s game seems to be much more detailed, so also went to the end. Unfortunately, too much attention to the minutiae, did not better from the perspective of the overall situation, but instead dragged the progress, some cumbersome.

In the book category, Shen Qing only got second. The first was Yi Peilan. She wrote a chrysanthemum poem of bosom complaint, but also write elegant and lovely. Although a young girl who has not yet left the court to write such poems is a bit too much, but Guangwen Hall is better at breaking the boundaries of etiquette, the requirements for women are not too harsh. In addition, the small poem is indeed written with lovely interest, not from the simple chrysanthemum, but through the chrysanthemum to send love, the level will be another layer.

Shen Qing’s face did not look very good, but she was naturally good at not giving poems either, so she was very helpless.

The last is Shen Miao’s group of “paintings”.

The judges on the stage had different looks on their faces, thinking that this group was the one that had the most arguments just now. The women guessed that it was Shen Yue and Qin Qing who had the best of both worlds and were hard to choose between them, after all, these two were often compared in Guangwen Hall. Qin Qing arrogant look sitting in place, seems to not care about the result, just holding a tea cup of fingers a little stiff.

In comparison, it was Shen Yue who appeared much more open. She sat beside Chen Ruoqiu, her gaze a little pouty and shy, Chen Ruoqiu looked at her tenderly. This daughter is smart and sensitive, talent is also as outstanding as her, zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, every year’s school test is the trend of no two, see her look so happy, today should also be nine out of ten.

Shen Yue was naturally confident, she had the power of the brush, she had the interest, and she had even thought of the intention. As if she had long ago figured out the preferences of the examiners, she was always able to come up with the best work. So what if Qin Qing is beautiful, in the end, she is also a good-looking but not useful. Thinking of useless, her eyes to sit on the other side of the Shen Miao, today Shen Miao caused her to eat so big loss, I thought Shen Miao will make a fool of herself on the checking platform, who knows that she was actually safe to avoid. But next to show the scroll to the crowd, Shen Miao how can not avoid a ridicule.

A flash of pleasure flashed through her as the cross was going to be a joke.

The calibration officer in charge of reading out the results sang loudly from the stage, “Painting Group 1A – Shen Miao -“

Shen Miao? I-A!

A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone clamored, drowning out even the voices of the checker reading out the names of the latter few.

Shen Yue’s smile immediately froze on her face, she looked incredulously at Chen Ruoqiu, her voice trembling a bit, “Mother, who was the party, the party of one a? It’s because I misheard you.”

Chen Ruoqiu pinched Shen Yue’s arm, although her heart was shocked and angry, but in the end, she had eaten more meals than Shen Yue for decades and knew that in this situation, there were certainly many people watching to see Shen Yue’s reaction. If Shen Yue is frank and open, such as just now this dying to live, has already fallen into the wrong hands.

Although Shen Qing and Ren Wan Yun gloated about Shen Yue being swept off her feet for the first time, they were also shocked when they heard that the person was Shen Miao. They thought that the examiner had mistaken the names of Shen Yue and Shen Miao.

There was a lot of talk in the women’s gallery, and naturally there was an uproar in the men’s gallery as well.

“What’s going on? How come it’s not Little Yue?” Cai Lin stood up all of a sudden and looked at his fellow students around him, “Did I mishear? It was that old man who mispronounced it, wasn’t it?”

There was naturally more than one person who thought like her, especially the teenage boys who were in the same class as Shen Miao, who had discussed it with a look of 10,000 astonishment.

“Look, brother, I knew she would win.” Su Minglang pulled Su Mingfeng, about the happiest of the group, the white fat meat on his face shaking with him.

Su Mingfeng is also a headache, who could have known that it was actually Shen Miao. To know that every time before the school test there will be a private casino to open gambling, he bought Shen Yue, but bought a thousand taels of silver ah!

Well, the 1,000 taels of silver are all in vain. If Master Su knew about this, he would tear him apart. Looking at the happy Su Minglang, Su Mingfeng wanted to cry without tears.

Pei Lang frowned, but he didn’t look at the calibration officer on the stage, but rather at the purple-clothed girl in the women’s gallery.

Her face was unusually calm, indifferent to everyone’s surprise and disbelief.

She had known she was going to win.
