The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 322

The seventh day of May is supposed to be an ordinary day.

Because of what Xiao Cang and Song Guanzhou did, it became a special day for the mansion. Just as the morning hour arrived and the sun had not yet risen, guests had already arrived at the mansion one after another.

Pei Hai personally waited at the gatehouse and received the first batch of visitors.

The three gentlemen, Huang Zhi, Liu Furan and Li Nianqiu, did not bring any servants with them, but only carried a few boxes of gifts. Pei Hai stood at the gate of the mansion and greeted the three gentlemen.

"Uncle Hai, don't be polite. Silang and Qin Erlang should be at home, right?"

Pei Hai sent his servants to escort everyone inside, "Everyone is here. The three gentlemen go in first and have some breakfast." This was the first group. Later, Xiao Bei came out in person and stood with Pei Hai.

"Uncle Hai, several of my good friends from the academy are coming today. I don't know whether they rented a carriage or rode a horse. I'd better wait here with you early."

Pei Hai smiled and replied, "Cousin, please go back to your room and rest first. If they come, I will send someone to escort them in and report to you at the same time."

"Don't bother two people with one thing. I've rested enough. It's quite pleasant to be here with you, Uncle Hai."

About a quarter of an hour later, the second group arrived, but this group was a little surprising. Pei Hai stepped forward and greeted them, "Master Jiang?"

This is Pei An Shangfeng, now the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy.

Lord Jiang is in his fifties. Today he is not wearing an official robe, but just an ordinary scholar's attire, wearing a jade crown and long gown, looking refined and elegant.

"I didn't tell Silang that I'm so presumptuous to come here. Dahai, you should go and tell the master." Lord Jiang said with a smile, and Pei Hai said he didn't dare.

Xiao Bei stepped forward and bowed.

"The fourth son of the Xiao family, huh?"

"Student Xiao Bei, nice to meet you, sir."

"Does Enko have any plans for this year?"

Xiao Bei agreed and personally escorted Lord Jiang inside. Lord Jiang did not forget to turn around and say to Pei Hai, "Then Da Hai, will I break into the mansion privately once?"

Following him was Lin Moyun, a colleague of Pei An, who also followed him in.

Pei Hai followed behind him, "My lord, you are joking. The Lord will be happy to know you are here." When he was on his way to Zhengxian Pavilion, he met Linxi and asked the Lord. Linxi said, "My lord and the two uncles are still copying the exam questions in Zhengxian Pavilion. Linchuan and I are not allowed to enter. Why don't you go to Yueya Pavilion and sit for a while first..."

When Lord Jiang heard this, he was greatly surprised.

“Is it so rigorous?”

Xiao Bei continued, "Your Excellency may not know that my useless younger brother has been taught by my Third Uncle himself, and he has some skills in mathematics. Now that my Third Uncle is personally giving him a test, it will not be too easy."

That's true!

but--

"Can the wife of Ji Zhang agree to this?"

good question.

I'm afraid that it's not just one or two people who have such doubts. Xiao Bei smiled and replied, "My lord, I can't say for sure, but my cousin is confident and has a good plan. I think he can handle it a little bit."

Lord Jiang stroked his beard and smiled, "That being said, it really makes us wait and see."

However, he did not follow Linxi's advice and still went to Zhengxian Pavilion. Pei Hai went to report in person, and Pei Jian put down the things in his hands and came out to greet him in person.

"Xinran, what wind brings you here?"

"My Lord, you are joking. Of course, it is because of your erudition and talent, and your unconventional style."

After saying this, the two held hands and laughed.

"Then come in quickly. My two uncles are here too. Come on, we are all old friends."

Lord Jiang, whose given name is Buyi and courtesy name is Xinran, is now in charge of the Imperial Academy. He is also a legendary figure who has taken over the important task of the Imperial Academy since Song Wenqi retired. He is the first person in the history of Dalong, no! It should be counted in the previous dynasty, to pass the imperial examination and become the first person to pass the imperial examination. He is a famous and talented person.

"No, I heard from my subordinates that the master is copying the exam papers. If I rush in, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate."

Whoops!

"Others can't do this, but who are you? Come in quickly. If there is room for change, do it before the test."

Let’s talk. He grabbed Jiang Buzhi’s hand, and the two of them walked into the Zhengxian Pavilion Study side by side.

Xiao Hongyun and Xiao Hongli also stood up and came to greet him. Jiang Buyi waved his hands repeatedly, "You two brothers are so polite, but you treat me as an outsider."

After a few pleasantries, Jiang Buyi followed Pei Jian and the other two to the desk. He just picked up a page at random, and after reading it, he sighed, "I'm afraid even an ordinary candidate can't do this."

After hearing this, Xiao Hongli was stunned, "...Your Excellency thinks it's too difficult?"

Jiang Buyi looked at it carefully and said, "It is quite a skill for ordinary people to calculate the difference between the sum and the sum. You have all learned about the difference between the rich and the poor, so you can really answer it?"

Hearing this, Pei Jian laughed, "I really don't know, this is already the simplest one, there are also equations and Pythagorean theorem for studying, and the key points of commerce and industry accumulation."

After that, he took out a pile of questions next to him and pointed at them. Jiang Buyi couldn't hide his surprise. He took them and read them one by one. "...Master, Chief of the Xiao Clan, Brother Pengyuan, I am not surprised that Xiao Wulang, the head of your Xiao family, has such talent. But on the other hand, that is Ji Zhang's wife, the daughter of my senior brother. She has received my senior brother's profound teachings, but she is still a woman. This-"

Xiao Hongli smiled and replied, "Brother Xinran, don't worry. I asked Guanzhou about it, and she actually understood it and said she wanted to give it a try."

If Song Guanzhou did not understand ancient mathematics at first and was a little arrogant, he discovered the development of ancient mathematics through the words of his elders and Xiao Cang.

Putting aside her aloofness, she was truly curious.

With the mathematical memory left over from my modern higher education, could I possibly compete with ancient mathematics?

Yes!

Song Guanzhou has changed her original idea. Now she is in awe and admires ancient mathematics.

Jiang Buyi heard what Xiao Hongli said, and immediately felt that it was right for him to come here today. Xiao Hongyun pulled Jiang Buyi to the tea table and poured hot tea himself. Jiang Buyi thanked him, took it with both hands, took a sip, and said it was good tea.

"Since you are here today, please come with me to do a notarization. The children are very interested and we are happy to see it happen. It doesn't matter who can do it and who can't. Just treat it as an elegant event."

"That's natural."

Outside, Lin Moyun and Xiao Bei were sitting in the guest room. After taking a few sips of tea, Linxi trotted in and said, "Cousin, six young men from Longen Academy have arrived and are waiting at the door."

They all seemed to have arrived at the city gate early in the morning, waiting to enter the city. They seemed to be in good spirits, but they were exhausted from the journey and still looked a little dishevelled.

Xiao Bei was welcomed to Biluozhai, and he asked the maids to fetch some clean water for him to wash his face and comb his hair, and also arranged breakfast for him.

"Brother Xiao, when does it start?"

The impatience made Xiao Bei laugh, "It should be soon, don't worry, there are many guests today." One of them, a young man named Ding, brought a book box with him. He took it out like a treasure and said, "To be honest, Brother Xiao, I also learned some from the accountant when I was at home. I brought paper and pen today, and I also borrowed an old abacus from the academy. I will follow and do the questions later."

ha?
