“Candidates who failed the exam do not need to be discouraged. They should concentrate on preparing for the exam and wait for the next enrollment.”

The person standing at the door was Luo Shengtai, who was also one of the teachers of the Imperial College. He was responsible for all matters related to the announcement of the results today.

"How come there are only fifty-nine?"

Xiao Huaimin didn't want to believe it, it was just one point away.

"Could it be that a point was missed somewhere?"

Luo Yunqing was vaguely worried.

The person involved, Jiang Tunan, was calmer than the others. She was shocked when the results came out, but she calmed down after that.

I just thought that she was someone who had never failed a course in several years of college, but today she got the first failing grade in her life, and it was a grade of 59. I really felt a little upset.

"I'll go ask Brother Luo, this must be a mistake!"

Xiao Huaimin waved his hand, signaling everyone not to follow.

"It seems that Miss Jiang is not so lucky this time."

Leng Qingyan appeared beside him at some point, her face still with that cold expression, but there was a hint of gloating in her coldness.

Jiang Tunan spoke calmly,

"You have food in your teeth."

Leng Qingyan:?

Leng Qingyan turned away in panic. Her maid quickly handed her a handkerchief and helped Leng Qingyan to look carefully, but then shook her head. Leng Qingyan said angrily,

"You dare to play tricks on me?"

Jiang Tunan ignored Leng Qingyan's reaction, but walked to the side, suddenly squatted down and said to a small dog on the side of the road in a slightly reproachful tone,

"What's wrong with you? You've got food stuck in your teeth. You're naughty! Don't do that next time."

The little dog howled a few times, as if responding to Jiang Tunan. Leng Qingyan felt furious.

"It doesn't matter if you can talk big for a while. You still won't pass the entrance exam. Maybe you got everyone's attention because of your luck, but in the end, it still depends on your ability."

Jiang Tunan sometimes really feels confused. Isn’t Leng Qingyan tired of creating so many imaginary enemies for herself every day?

"Xiao Nannan, it's bad, my dad and Master Luo are arguing!"

Xiao Mingxu ran over with an anxious look on his face and pulled Jiang Tunan along without saying a word.

Jiang Tunan was still confused when he was pulled by Xiao Mingxu in front of Xiao Huaimin and Luo Shengtai. Jiang Tunan found that the Leng Master from last time was also there.

"Luo Shengtai, what do you mean!"

Xiao Huaimin's voice was filled with anger, and his hair, which was usually elegant, was a little messy.

"Sir Xiao, although you and I are relatives, you cannot take advantage of this relationship. This is my principle as an official."

Luo Shengtai looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and Xiao Huaimin was obviously very angry with him, his chest heaving up and down violently.

Jiang Tunan watched the two quarreling and thought that Xiao Huaimin would not let Luo Shengtai use a backdoor just for her to go to a girls' school? That was not a good idea. After thinking about it, he still tried to persuade her.

"Uncle, this matter is my responsibility. I did not meet your expectations. Please don't embarrass this teacher. At worst, I can take the exam again next year."

Luo Shengtai snorted coldly after hearing what Jiang Tunan said.

"Quite self-aware."

"father!"

Luo Yunqing couldn't bear to watch it any longer. They were obviously a family, so why did they make things so ugly?

Leng Yikang also stood up for Jiang Tunan and pulled him aside.

"Girl, let me tell you, your score was originally 61, but this old man insisted that the additional questions couldn't be counted towards the total score. Isn't that infuriating?"

Jiang Tunan didn't expect that there was such a secret behind this. No wonder Uncle Xiao was so angry. If he had counted those two points, he would have reached the passing line.

"Humph! I've seen her test paper. Based on her answers, I know she is an uneducated and unlearned person. How can such a person enter a girls' school?"

"Luo Shengtai! Don't go too far!"

Xiao Huaimin was really angry. He had seen Jiang Tunan's performance these days. Although Jiang Tunan was a little careless and out of tune sometimes, he would never be said to be unlearned and ignorant of etiquette.

"Uncle, don't be angry. If this girl can't go to school, then don't go. I can learn very well at home. Don't worry, I will study harder in the future."

If she didn't want to go to the girls' school, then she would have more time to carry out her plan. Besides, seeing how rigid Luo Shengtai was, she would probably continue to learn about women's virtues and precepts if she went to the girls' school. Why should she rush to suffer that?

Xiao Huaimin's eyes showed his heartache for Jiang Tunan.

"Nannan, you are the best in your uncle's heart. You don't have to care about what others say. Your uncle will support you in whatever you want to do."

Jiang Tunan felt uncomfortable hearing what Xiao Huaimin said. From the beginning till now, Xiao Huaimin had always been protecting him unconditionally.

Even in the previous dream, she would rather force her son than let herself suffer any injustice.

"Uncle, I will study hard in the future and live up to your cultivation."

Xiao Huaimin sighed deeply, touched Jiang Tunan's head and said,

"Have you really thought it through? If you miss it today, you can't regret it."

Although he really hoped that Jiang Tunan could take a broader path, Xiao Huaimin felt that as long as Jiang Tunan was happy, it didn't matter even if he took a rough path.

Leng Yikang also sighed with regret. If he had known that this would happen, he should have taken the responsibility of presiding over the girls' entrance examination himself.

Before Jiang Tunan could answer, Luo Shengtai spoke first with dissatisfaction,

"Xiao Huaimin, you have been doing your duty all these years and you are a good official. I respect you. But today you are arguing with me here for your own personal feelings and trying to break the rules. You really disappoint me!"

Luo Yunqing was also very anxious.

"Dad, don't say that. We are all family. Don't hurt the harmony."

Jiang Tunan got a little angry when he heard this, and said that it would be fine if she did it, but why did she have to involve Xiao Huaimin in this?

"Mr. Luo."

Luo Shengtai had a serious face and showed no mercy.

"You are not a student of the Women's School, so you are not qualified to call me Master."

Jiang Tunan kept telling himself in his heart, don’t be angry, don’t be angry, anger is the devil, just treat him as a patient.

Can a doctor get angry with a patient who is being unreasonable? Of course not! Smile and serve, three, two, one, go.

Jiang Tunan gave a fake smile.

"Lord Luo, what is the significance of the imperial examination?"

"Of course, it is to select more talents for Daxing."

"Then let me ask Master Luo, what is the definition of talent?"

Luo Shengtai didn't understand and didn't say anything. Jiang Tunan answered to himself,

“Is it someone who is knowledgeable, sensible and able to distinguish right from wrong, or someone who can just get first place in the exam?

Excuse me, Lord Luo, can't a person who can lead an army to defeat a larger force with a smaller one be considered a talent? Can't a person who can forge a sharp weapon and be invincible be considered a talent? Can't even those who can only farm but produce good and abundant crops be considered talents?"

Luo Shengtai only looked at Jiang Tunan slightly at this time, but Jiang Tunan continued,

"I think the original intention of the emperor to establish a girls' school was to allow more talented women to reach higher peaks, rather than to train one after another of wooden people who have no emotions and can only recite by rote."

"well said."

Leng Yikang cheered for Jiang Tunan quietly beside him, and Xiao Huaimin's anger had also subsided by a large margin.

"Princess Guangping is here!"

When everyone heard the palace servants singing the salute, they immediately turned around and saluted.

"It seems that there has been nothing going on in the court recently, so the adults still have the leisure to quarrel at the gate of the Imperial College."
