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

After reading it, Sun Quan looked at everyone and said in a deep voice:

"Since the Emperor has issued this decree, it signifies his recognition of Miss Bai's talent.

You all must follow my orders and properly arrange Bai Wanwan's exam preparations. Do not treat her with any disrespect just because she is a woman. Ensure she is able to participate in the Tongsheng exam smoothly."

The officials all responded in unison: "We will follow your Majesty's orders."

After entering the room, the older maid pointed to the writing brush, inkstone, and paper on the table and said in a steady voice, "Miss, please excuse me and look at these items according to the proper manners."

She picked up the Duan inkstone and scraped the ink accumulated on the edge of the inkstone with her fingertips to make sure there was no interlayer.

Another maid picked up a few brushes and took apart the pen holders one by one.

The pen holder was made of ordinary bamboo, and the hollow part was only big enough to accommodate the tip of the pen. I shook it upside down, but nothing fell out.

The ink stick next to the inkstone was also picked up, weighed, and smelled. It was just ordinary pine soot ink, nothing unusual.

"Alright." After the inspection, the nanny put the items back in their original place and nodded to Bai Wanwan: "The items are clean, nothing is stolen."

The maid smiled and said, "Our Eighteenth Prince has spent a lot of time and effort on your behalf, fearing that you might be wronged. Young Master, your blessings are yet to come!"

After that, the two maids went out.

As Bai Wanwan walked out, she saw many people staring at her with strange eyes: "Is this a girl? A girl actually came to take the imperial examination, and no one is in charge?"

"That's right! Women should stay at home to take care of their husbands and children. How can they show their faces in public?"

"The emperor has issued a direct decree. It's better for you to keep quiet and avoid getting yourself into trouble."

Xiao Yi glanced at Bai Wanwan with a sneer on his face:

"With Bai Wanwan's personality, as impulsive as a headless fly, is she qualified to participate in the scientific expedition? It's simply wishful thinking.

She's just a little girl who just took off her crotchless pants. Does she really think she can become a literary star just because she knows a few words?

Bai Wanwan, I advise you to go back to your mother's arms and drink milk as soon as possible, and don't get involved here.

I couldn't write a single word, and cried and shouted to go home, which was really hilarious. "

Shen Tao suddenly stepped forward, protecting Bai Wanwan behind him and said:

"Xiao Yi, what do you mean? Are you deliberately picking on a five-year-old?

Wanwan is so smart! Ten times smarter than you were when you were little! Why do you think so bad of her? "

Xiao Yi sneered as if he had heard a huge joke:

"What does it have to do with you if I'm talking to her? Are you her dog?

She didn't say anything herself, so why should you bark here?"

Everyone around looked over, and several young men who were familiar with Xiao Yi also started laughing.

In their eyes, it was absurd to let a five-year-old child take part in such a serious matter as scientific examinations.

A little girl who can't even speak complete sentences and chases butterflies all day long actually wants to compete with these students who have studied hard for many years?

They were simply treating fame and fortune as a joke. The look in their eyes when they looked at Bai Wanwan was filled with contempt, ridicule, and even disdain for such an overestimation of one's own abilities.

Lin Han and Lin Ze also laughed out loud, and Lin Han said:

"Bai Wanwan, do you really think you can pass the exam?

I really didn't expect that you would disguise yourself as a man! Tsk tsk tsk..."

Lin Han's classmates gathered around and asked, "Who is this girl?"

"Oh! She's my sister, but she's a disaster. You don't know how cruel she is."

"What? Disaster Star, then we should stay away from her."

Bai Wanwan looked at them and said, "Lin Han, you're just good at talking. I want to see how you do on the test this time."

Lin Han said, "As long as I do better than you in the exam, that's fine."

A group of people walked in in a mighty procession. Bai Wanwan found her seat and could see the appearance of the examination room for the Tongsheng exam.

This place looks more organized than other places. There are densely packed small compartments arranged in a large open space, and each compartment is only big enough for one person to sit.

In front of me stood a narrow table and an old chair, and in the corner there was a small charcoal brazier, presumably for use when the weather was cold.

The walls of the compartment were not high, just reaching the chest, and there was a shed on the top to provide shade and shelter from the rain. The light was not very bright, but the words could still be seen clearly.

The floor was swept fairly clean, but there was some dust in the corners, and occasionally you could see small spider webs.

There was a hint of ink scent in the air, mixed with the smell of old wood and soil.

What’s special is that there is a small doorway every few steps, with two soldiers with swords on their waists standing at the door. It is a place specially for people to enter and exit.

If you want to go to the toilet on the way, you have to go through here and register with a sign. The soldiers will watch you to prevent someone from secretly passing things.

The surroundings were quiet, with only the occasional sound of wind blowing through the shed and the sound of the patrol officer's boots scraping across the ground in the distance.

Bai Wanwan had just sat down in her little cubicle, and before her butt could even warm up the chair, she heard a rustling noise outside.

First there was the sound of footsteps, thump thump, and it sounded like many people were walking together. Someone shouted, "Everyone sit down, the papers are being distributed."

Soon, two officers in short green coats came over, holding a thick stack of paper scrolls in their hands.

The paper rolls were tied with thin hemp ropes and rolled neatly. There were red mud seals on the openings, obviously to prevent them from being opened and read in advance.

They walked outside the cubicle and distributed them one by one.

When they got to Bai Wanwan, an officer looked down at her number plate, checked it carefully, and then took out a paper from the pile.

He handed it to me across the low wall of the cubicle, muttering, "Take it and check your name tag. Once you remove it, you can't change it."

Bai Wanwan reached out to take it. She looked down and saw her name and number written on the note stuck to the beginning of the volume.

There was a small red stamp on the side, which matched the number plate in her hand.

Gradually, the sounds of removing ropes and tearing seals could be heard around, and occasionally someone would accidentally drop a pen, making a slight "click" sound.

Then he exclaimed softly, and then quickly held his breath, for fear of alarming others.

The first session of the Tongsheng examination usually lasts two days and one night in the examination hall.

Candidates must enter the dormitory after the exam starts and are not allowed to leave until the evening of the next day. During this period, they have to eat and sleep in a small compartment.

This feeling is still quite depressing, but fortunately she had made preparations in advance.

He was wrapped in five cotton-padded jackets. The closest one was a thin cotton-padded jacket made of fine cotton cloth, and the ones above that were padded jackets stuffed with new cotton.

There were also a few newly made cotton-padded jackets on the outside. These were all made by Mrs. Bai herself for Bai Wanwan, for fear that she would catch a cold.

He also wore a large knee-length cloak on the outside, which looked very heavy.

This is made of mink fur. The mink fur is dense and soft. Once you wrap it around your body, you will feel warm immediately. Even if there is a cold wind outside, you will not feel cold at all when wrapped in it. Instead, you will feel very hot.

At night, this cloak is more practical and can be used directly as a quilt.
