After becoming the villain's eldest sister, I take charge of the whole family

He secretly commented: This person is easy to judge.

It left an impression on me, but I didn't pay much attention to it and looked away.

In this regard.

Xie Boyuan knew nothing.

……

Soon, the gong sounded.

The chief examiner tore up the test paper in front of all the candidates, and the deputy examiners began to copy the questions. Finally, two soldiers held up the board to show the candidates.

Xie Linghe looked at them one by one and felt relieved.

Xie Boyuan's level is also her level. Although he may not be able to answer these questions perfectly, he can still answer them fluently.

"The first game is a sure thing."

However, she didn't drift.

The provincial examination lasts for nine days and is divided into three sessions, each lasting three days. After each session, students can go to the courtyard outside to relax, but they cannot leave the examination room. The gate of the examination hall will not be opened until the three sessions in nine days are completed.

The first test is: one article of "The Analects of Confucius", one article of "The Doctrine of the Mean", and one article of "The Great Learning", a total of three questions on the Four Books. The answers are to be written in eight-part parallel essays, with a word count of more than 200 words.

In addition, there is a five-character eight-rhyme poem and four passages on the meaning of the scriptures, with a total of more than 300 words.

After watching for a while longer, she disconnected.

She said to the system: "Xiao Xi, remember to notify me for the second round."

The system immediately replied: "Yes, host."

Shake.

Three days passed.

Early in the morning, Xie Linghe had just woken up when the system voice rang out: "Host, the second round of questions has begun."

"Ok."

Xie Linghe was cheered up and quickly connected to the secondary system.

The second test is: one passage of your choice from the Five Classics, one passage each from the Imperial Edict, the Imperial Decree, the Judgment, and the Memorial, with a minimum of 300 words.

“It’s not that difficult.”

Xie Linghe muttered to himself, "But, for a student from a poor family, it might be difficult~"

It was very difficult for children from poor families to be able to study. Apart from the Four Books and Five Classics required for the imperial examinations, they knew very little about laws, criminal sentencing, business, and the ways of being an official.

therefore.

From this stage, the gap between the poor and the powerful class will be clearly reflected.

Candidates from merchant families have advantages in arithmetic and business; candidates from gentry families have natural advantages in court laws, criminal sentencing and the art of being an official; and candidates from poor families have no advantages at all.

Fortunately.

The court took this into consideration.

Among the three exams, the first one accounts for the highest proportion of the score. As long as you can get a place on the first exam list, even if you fail the last two, you can still pass the exam and become a juren.

Of course, it is impossible to get a higher ranking.

Xie Boyuan doesn't have this worry.

After all, he was studying at Baiyun Academy and was Mr. Wen's apprentice.

Far away.

Xie Linghe collected his thoughts and thought about how he should answer the questions one by one. When he found that he could answer them all smoothly, he disconnected the connection with peace of mind.

then.

It’s the third game.

As soon as Xie Linghe connected to the secondary system, he saw a gust of wind rustling the examination room, and then he heard a crackling noise in his ears.

"My answer sheet!"

"what!"

"Damn the wind! It messed up my answer sheet."

"..."

The officers and soldiers quickly said, "Silence!"

Since the exams haven’t happened yet, the impact is not big and things will soon return to normal.

just.

The atmosphere in the examination room became much more depressing because of this.

The weather was not good. There were dark clouds outside, and it seemed as if a violent storm was about to break out at any time, making everyone feel uneasy.

In this atmosphere.

The exam started as scheduled, and Xie Linghe also looked at the test questions attentively.

The third round only has five questions.

All five of these questions are about current affairs. The so-called current affairs questions are to express opinions or views on current affairs and government affairs based on the theories of Confucian classics.

After she finished reading all the questions, her expression became serious. These five questions were all-encompassing and very challenging.

and.

There is no absolute answer.

It would be even worse if the questions asked by the examiner were contrary to his ideas.

She couldn't help but glance at Xie Boyuan and saw that he looked calm, without the slightest bit of anxiety.

Xie Linghe was stunned for a moment, then chuckled to himself, "Why should I worry about it? The system's sea of ​​questions has allowed him to solve countless questions like this. Even if he doesn't completely meet the examiner's expectations, he's definitely within the standard."

After thinking about it.

She disconnected directly and no longer paid attention to Xie Boyuan.

because.

The first dividend from the exercise book is about to be distributed.

On the day.

She and Du Fang had a good talk and reached a verbal 28 agreement. The next day, he came with the documents to sign the agreement.

Xie Linghe only needs to wait for dividends.

But at least I put in the effort, and she paid close attention.

We saw that the bookstore used Xie Boyuan and three others as the main publicity materials, and it really attracted quite a few people.

This exercise book is not cheap, only one or two taels of silver per book.

It is not as good as the price given by the dock manager, but one is bought individually and the other is sold in bulk, so naturally the prices are different.

of course.

Many people also care about Xie Linghe's identity as a woman.

In short.

The exercise books sold well, but not as well as Xie Linghe had expected.

Fortunately.

Du Fang was quite satisfied.

Xie Linghe could only comfort himself that greed is insatiable and he should learn to be content.

Closer to home.

In Xinghua Village, at Xie Linghe's home, she and Du Fang sat across from each other. Du Fang smiled and handed her a wooden box: "Miss Xie, this is your dividend for this month."

"According to our agreement, you get 200 wen for each book. Last month, we sold 208 books, so your share is 41 taels and 6 qian."

Xie Linghe nodded immediately: "That's right."

Take the box.

Du Fang smiled: "Miss Xie, don't you want to check it?"

Xie Linghe shook his head: "I trust Shopkeeper Du, so there's no need for that."

Du Fang was relieved by these words. He said in a very good tone, "Miss Xie, the exercise books are selling well this time, thanks to your suggestion to use Xie Zhongji and others as publicity. The boss knew that the sales were so good and praised me a lot. It's all thanks to you."

Xie Linghe quickly waved his hands: "I was just talking, Shopkeeper Du deserves the most credit."

Du Fang's smile deepened. "Thank you, Miss. How about we keep up the good work and take advantage of this enthusiasm to publish another exercise book..."

"No."

Xie Linghe immediately refused, explaining earnestly, "Shopkeeper Du, this exercise book isn't cheap. We need to give the buyer some time to experience it. If they find it good, we won't have trouble selling a second copy later. If they don't, there's no need to think about selling a second copy."

Du Fang suddenly realized.

"I'm impatient."

"..."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Du Fangbian said goodbye.

Wait for him to leave.

Xie Zhongji and others gathered around.

Xie Lingai's eyes lit up: "Sister, you earned over forty taels of silver? That's amazing!"

Xie Lingfen deeply agreed.

Xie Zhongji was shocked: "I knew this exercise book sold well, but I didn't expect it to sell so well."

Xie Shuze smacked his lips and said, "Sister, since you're so good at making money, can our family eat meat every day in the future?"

Xie Jijun said absentmindedly, "How about I make a workbook too?"

My eldest sister is a girl who has never been to school properly, but she can sell her exercise books for so much money; he is a serious scholar, so he can definitely sell more.
