Wang Jinyi pretended that she had no ears and tried hard to copy the calligraphy. She persisted for half an hour, then packed up her stationery and went back to the west room.

When I went out, I listened to my brother reciting with great effort. After thinking for a while, I turned back.

"Brother, I have memorized this paragraph. It talks about the different opinions in political commentary.

Do you understand what everyone here is saying?"

"know."

“That’s easy to handle.

Come, write down the key points of these viewpoints in just one word. "

Watching his brother copying sentences, Wang Jinyi asked his brother to replace it with a key word, and finally divided the key words into two different groups.

Soon, my brother memorized the key words of the debate between both sides.

Then recite it again around the key words.

It only took my brother a cup of tea to recite it fluently.

"Oh, Jin'er, you are amazing. It's still easy to recite like this. Can I be like you?"

Wang Jinyi thought, No! That is the result of my study in two lifetimes.

But he still nodded with a smile.

The sun rose again. The family gathered for breakfast. The father was still gentle and gentle, and the mother was no longer depressed. Wang Jinyi felt that her father seemed to have anticipated something, but he didn't want to put any pressure on her mother.

I don't know how my father calmed my mother down last night. Oh! My mother is too kind and was taken advantage of. Humph, I am here, so she won't suffer like this!

At least some interest should be charged, otherwise not everyone will come to make trouble. In order to protect the Wang family, I have to be the evildoer.

When Wang Jinyi ran to the second gate after chasing his father and brother and waved goodbye to them, he turned around and grabbed his mother.

"Mother, have you found the person I'm looking for?"

The mother was no longer in such a low mood today. She and her daughter stopped at the corridor of the second gate.

"Qing'er, go and inform the person I found for the young lady last time to come to the main hall in the front yard.

"The mother straightened the hem of Wang Jinyi's skirt, and then the mother and daughter walked into the main hall one after the other.

Soon, two men and two women came and stood in the hall.

"Mother, let the man in first."

The mother glanced at Qing'er, and Qing'er called the person in.

Wang Jinyi follows the usual practice:

"Introducing yourself means telling me your details and saying whatever you want to say."

A slightly taller boy took a step forward.

"Madam, Miss, I am a government slave. I was bought by the master. I am good at writing. The rest of the Wang family knows everything about the account books."

Wang Jinyi looked at the young man with a handsome face and elegant manners, and made a preliminary judgment that he must have some talent or outstanding ability, or have some connection with the Wang family, which is why he was bought by the Wang family.

The other one also took a step forward.

"Madam. I am Wang Beilai. I was bought by the Third Master. I volunteered to be a slave in the Wang family."

There is no choice but to be loyal, but it needs to be examined, and no one knows what special skills he has.

Since Wenbai is good at account books, let's give it a try.

In class, Wang Jinyi dictated and his mother helped to record and organize the questions. There were 10 test questions, including: percentage questions on buying and selling taxes; fraction questions on store discounts; a test of the ability to make and receive payments in remittances and separate accounts, and a few simple calculation questions from junior high school to high school.

When Wen Bai read the question, he looked Wang Jinyi up and down, then sat down and calculated silently.

Wang Jinyi continued to ask Wang Beilai:

"What do your parents do?"

"Miss, my family is a farmer. We were once military households. My father went to war and never came back. There was a drought in my hometown, and we encountered robbers while fleeing. My mother..." He did not lower his head, but just paused.

"Later, I killed that man and ran away. I happened to see Third Master taking in orphans, so I followed him up the mountain. Third Master knew all this."

Wang Jinyi thought: Very good, I need someone with courage, but he must be upright and careful, otherwise it won’t work.

Wang Jinyi asked:

"How did you find the bandit and kill him?"

My mother coughed twice and interrupted the questioning. Maybe she thought it was too bloody.

"Okay, then you go wait in the hall first."

"Mother, let the girls in."

This time, without waiting for her mother's instructions, Qing'er let the person into the main hall.

Wang Jinyi started by introducing herself.

Qing'er pointed at a girl, and the girl came forward with a salute.

"Madam, I have a five-year indenture, and my name is Chunyu."

"Is this your real name?"

"No, that's the name I got when I entered the mansion. My original surname is Qian."

"Okay, next one."

"Madam, I entered the mansion with a five-year indenture, doing menial work. Everyone in my family practices martial arts, so I don't have any special skills."

Wang Jinyi thought that it was good that he didn’t have any special skills, but she didn’t know what his abilities were.

I turned around and whispered a few words to my mother, and then my mother spoke.

"Chun Yu, you should go back first and continue doing what you were doing before."

Then he looked at another girl:

"What's your name? Please wait for a moment in the hall."

"My maid's name is Wu Mei."

"Okay, let's all get down."

The mother and daughter drank another glass of water, but the essay was not finished yet.

Wang Jinyi looked at her mother:

"Mother, let's go back first and let Wenbai write it himself and send it to me when he's finished."

"Just ask the people in the hall to wait outside the second gate in the evening."

"Zhu Yu."

Zhu Yu responded and entered the room.

"Miss."

"Zhu Yu, go and tell the two people in the hall to come to the second gate at 3 p.m. and you will go to pick them up. Remember that?"

"Miss, I've made a note of that."

"Then repeat it in your own words. I'll listen."

"Just ask them to wait for me at the second gate at 3 p.m., and I'll go pick them up. Where are you going, young lady?"

"Don't worry about this, just pass the message on."

"Yes, ma'am."

Qing'er shook her head gently. This was done by the servants. Oh, and the young lady has to take care of the servants. It's really shameful.

Qing'er decided to train Zhu Yu well.

Let’s not talk about that for now, just say that everything was arranged. The mother and daughter went back to the second gate to continue reviewing the chess record. Today was going pretty smoothly, but after a few hundred moves, the outcome of the game was basically decided.

Next, the two players exchanged pieces, and black continued to have the first move.

This time, the mother and daughter were completely separated from the chess manual, and it became an individual battle, with the chess manual only serving as a reference.

Eventually, both of them forgot about the time until Qing'er came back with a few large sheets of paper.

"Madam, Miss, Mr. Wen handed in the paper."

The mother and daughter moved from the chessboard on the tea table to the desk. Looking at Mr. Wen's calligraphy, Wang Jinyi felt ashamed. The calligraphy was elegant and graceful. One could tell from the calligraphy that this person came from a noble family and was well educated.

Looking at the problem-solving, there are fractions, decimals, percentages, including reasoning solutions that simplify the complex, accounting methods, and simple number series. What is particularly lovely is that the person who solves the problem is afraid that the examiners may not understand, so he is kind enough to explain each step of the problem-solving process clearly in words.

Even every reasoning and conclusion was fully explained in words.

Wang Jinyi smiled knowingly.

I am really grateful that my family prepared such a person in advance, otherwise, where can I find such a good partner? Yes, this person will definitely become a very good partner for me.
