Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Shen Tao said with disgust:

"Gu Sinian was also at the Jiang family last night, and the Jiang family invited many children from aristocratic families.

Many people saw what the Jiang family did last night.

Gu Sinian left right after finishing his meal, and they were all wondering what he meant.

I heard that the Emperor wanted him to choose his principal and concubines!"

"What? How old is Brother Si Nian? He's not even ten years old!"

Shen Tao coughed and said:

"You don't understand this, right? If you choose the main wife and concubines, then these will be Gu Sinian's helpers.

I think he has great potential, and he has become even more amazing in recent years."

Bai Wanwan felt a little sad and didn't know what was going on.

She sighed and said, "Why don't you tell me why he is so extraordinary?"

Shen Tao said:

“I used to dislike Gu Sinian, thinking he was just blessed with royal blood.

But now I know that this guy doesn't rely on luck at all.

Before he was ten years old, he had already memorized the Four Books and Five Classics by heart.

During the hunting last month, he rode an untrained horse and shot three hares with three arrows in a row. Even the commander of the Royal Guards slapped his thigh in admiration.

What's even more amazing is the military strategy class. In the mock battle exam questions given by the teacher, he can clearly explain the tactics used by Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in those days.

He also said, "If I were born in the Han Dynasty, I could also lead 800 cavalrymen to launch a surprise attack on the Huns." This shocked the gentleman so much that his beard stood up.

This kid is truly blessed by God, born to do great things."

Bai Wanwan looked at him and said, "You seem to admire him quite a bit."

"Hehe, I'm really ashamed of myself. From childhood to adulthood, I've never admired anyone so much.

To be honest, when he looks at people, you have no idea what he’s thinking, tsk tsk tsk…” Shen Tao’s face was full of admiration when he mentioned Gu Sinian.

Bai Wanwan looked at him and said, "I heard the Tongsheng exam is coming up soon. How's your review going?"

Shen Tao curled his lips and sneered: "What's so difficult about testing those things? If I were to take the test, I could pass it with my eyes closed."

Bai Wanwan stared at him, half-smiling as she said, "Since you're so capable, how about a competition?"

Shen Tao's eyes widened suddenly:

"What do you mean? Do you really want to take the exam?

I have to remind you that if a woman is caught pretending to be a man to take an exam, she will lose her head. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Bai Wanwan snorted beside him, "Which law says women can't take the Tongsheng exam?"

Shen Tao scratched his head and hesitated for a long time: "It seems... there is really no such rule."

In fact, when the late emperor was in power in his early years, there were female officials in the court.

Later, somehow, this rule gradually disappeared.

However, the Tongsheng examination was different from that in other dynasties. It did not say that women could not take the examination.

Bai Wanwan thought about it for a long time and felt that this was worth a try.

There will indeed be an inspection before the Tongsheng examination, but there is no need to go as far as taking off clothes.

She now has her hair tied up, wears a long gown, speaks and acts like a boy, and you can't tell from her appearance that she is a woman.

Besides, she is no worse than men in studying. Since there is no explicit rule that women cannot take the exam, why not give it a try?

The more I think about it, the more interesting it seems. Maybe I can really prove myself in the exam.

Shen Tao swallowed and said, "Bai Wanwan, isn't it inappropriate for you to do this?"

"What's inappropriate about it? If I say it's appropriate, then it's appropriate."

The corner of Shen Tao's mouth twitched: "Have you told your brothers? I remember they are also taking the exam this time..."

Bai Wanwan scoffed and said, "It's no big deal! Wait till I give them a surprise."

"Hehehe... I feel like they are more shocked than happy." Shen Tao was also helpless.

The brain of this study partner is different from that of ordinary people!

I can't stand it, I can't stand it at all.

"Bai Wanwan, do you think it's unfair for you to be my study partner?"

Bai Wanwan frowned and looked at him and said:

"It's not that I feel wronged, your family gave me quite a lot.

Not only do I receive a monthly allowance, but you also give me an extra 1000 taels of silver every month so that I can eat and drink when I go out with you.

Sometimes your mother would give me a lot of gifts, which is really nice to be honest."

Bai Wanwan never expected that the first job she took in ancient times would be such a mediocre job.

For her, this was basically free food, free accommodation, and free drinks, and she also got a salary. She could also have two days off every week and go home for two days.

Shen Tao sneered, "Are you attracted by my family's conditions?"

Bai Wanwan looked at him, curled her lips and said:

"Or do you really think I like being your study partner? What's so good about being your study partner?

You have to get up before dawn every day, and carrying things is like asking your life for it. Aren’t those things very simple?

I can memorize it after reciting it once, but you have to recite it ten or twenty times..."

Bai Wanwan realized the hardship of taking care of a baby. In the end, she had no choice but to call the pacifier over. Several big tigers sat next to Shen Tao and took turns watching him carry his baby.

Shen Tao was so scared that he almost cried. The key point was that as long as he didn't recite it well, the tigers' faces would become extremely ugly, which scared him to tremble.

The eldest princess had no idea about these things. If she knew, she probably wouldn't have let Bai Wanwan be her study companion.

However, the effect is still quite obvious. At least the Four Books and Five Classics have been learned almost completely.

There should be no problem in dealing with the Tongsheng exam. The so-called Tongsheng exam is generally divided into three sessions.

The county examination is called the county examination, the prefectural examination is called the prefectural examination, and finally the academy examination is presided over by the provincial education commissioner. Only after passing all three examinations can one obtain the junior diploma of scholar.

Bai Wanwan felt that it was quite difficult to pass the exam to become a scholar, so she had been very tired recently. She got up every morning to recite the lessons and continued to recite them at night.

However, she not only memorized the Four Books and Five Classics, but also memorized anything she liked.

Her memory is now extremely good, almost as good as Gu Sinian's. She hasn't seen Gu Sinian for a long time and doesn't know how he is doing recently.

When Bai Wanwan returned to the house, she heard a knock on the window. When she opened it, it was Gu Sinian.

Gu Sinian stood outside holding a food box and said, "Didn't you have enough for dinner? I brought you something delicious."

Bai Wanwan looked at him and asked, "Why did you come out of the palace? Shouldn't the palace be closed at this time?"

Zhang Quande, who was standing beside him, quickly said, "Isn't this because the master is worried that you won't have enough to eat? You just climbed over the wall and came out. You should eat quickly! Otherwise, it will get cold soon."

Gu Sinian opened the lid of the food box. On the top was a bowl of papaya stewed with snow fungus, and on the bottom two layers were pastries, one was walnut pastry and the other was jujube paste cake.

"It's easy to get hungry when studying at night, so I'll just make something to fill my stomach." He pushed the lunch box with a smile.

Zhang Quande quickly added, "This is made by my master himself. Princess, please have a taste."
