Lin Yiwan said slowly, "Since this is a competition, let's stick to the traditional method. Let's guess the name of the plant. Artist Feng Qian has hand-painted plant drawings tied to a high ladder nearby. Each of the eight students will pick one and answer the questions posed above. What do you think?"

Xiao Youxiang turned his head to look at the ladder next to him and felt that this competition was a bit simple.

Of course, he also understood that Feng Qian was the enlightenment teacher of the children in the charity hall, so it was understandable that he was biased.

He spoke without hesitation: "Then, Madam Hou, could you please take me to check a question first?"

Lin Yiwan bowed and said, "Please!"

Xiao Youxiang walked quickly to the ladder and reached out to pick up a paper roll.

There was a picture of a peony flower on it, and then a line of small words underneath: "Please write down the growth characteristics and functions of this flower!"

He subconsciously raised his eyebrows: "That's it?"

Lin Yiwan nodded. "That's it! It tests both students' knowledge and their understanding of these plants. That's great!"

Xiao Rui interrupted without hesitation: "Then you have no choice but to admit defeat, because the four noble sons I brought with me are well-informed and knowledgeable. This kind of question will definitely not be difficult for them!"

Lin Yiwan still said the same thing: "Maybe not?"

Xiao Rui snorted coldly: "Okay, let's wait and see!"

Without further hesitation, he quickly returned to the four sons and repeated the question format to them.

The four of them looked relaxed, as if they didn't take this competition seriously.

Lin Yiwan said, "The winner will be determined by the number of plant species that the four people come up with. The one with the most answers wins!"

Emperor Sheng An, who was sitting in the carriage, was stunned. He frowned and asked Zhan Yan, "Are you sure your wife is serious?"

Zhan Yan leaned lazily against the car wall: "How can you tell that she is not serious?"

Emperor Sheng An angrily threw a piece of fruit at him, "What's the point of competing? Why would you use your weaknesses to compete with others? Isn't this Qing just waiting to lose? Those four guys from the Imperial College were raised in books. It's no exaggeration to say they can't recognize anything."

Zhan Yan raised his chin and said, "Your Majesty, you still don't understand Wanwan. Take another look at that ladder!"

Emperor Sheng An was stunned: "Climbing the ladder?"

He followed Zhan Yan's gaze and found that the wooden ladder became steeper the higher it went.

Zhan Yan said, "Answering the questions is not difficult, but getting the questions is difficult. At first, you can't tell how it will turn out, but in the end, that's when the real test will be revealed!"

Emperor Sheng An fell silent. He frowned and pondered, "You're right. The sons of noble families are used to being aloof and arrogant. They may not be able to cooperate to win the competition. This is a huge test for them!"

Zhan Yan then said: "So?"

Emperor Sheng An met his eyes and said directly, "So your wife is very smart!"

Seeing his happy smile, Emperor Sheng An couldn't help but retort: ​​"I'm not praising you, why are you so proud?"

He answered without hesitation: "She is my wife, I am honored!"

Emperor Sheng An threw two words at him: "Show off!"

The eight students participating in the competition have already entered the arena. After bowing to each other, they rushed directly to the ladder.

At first, the four students from the Imperial College were indeed quick and accurate in recognizing the names, especially Luo Feng, who was the best. There were already a lot of notes piled up in his box.

After Xiao Rui personally checked it, he shouted, "Luo Feng, remember one more!"

Then, a voice continued to ring out: "Chen Yu, Pei Jue, Gu Ming, each of you should remember one!"

On the other hand, Lin Yiwan's side was a little depressed. The four students from the charity hall needed a moment to identify before they could give the correct answer.

Then, only sporadic voices could be heard: "Yan Yue wrote down one, Feng Lin, Duan, and Xu Jun each wrote down one!"

Sang Qiutang was feeling a little anxious. She said uneasily, "Ah Shang, I'm afraid the students from my charity hall are going to embarrass Wanwan this time. I didn't expect them to answer so slowly!"

Meng Yunshang, however, was watching with great interest. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Sister Sang, don't worry. I think they are also very capable, especially Yan Yue. Look how calm and composed he is!"

Sang Qiutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "He is calm, but his speed is too slow. Young Master Luo Feng had already answered two questions before he got one right!"

Meng Yunshang suddenly exclaimed, "Sister Sang, look! The turning point is about to appear!"

Sang Qiutang was stunned: "Is there another twist?"

She frowned and looked towards the field, and found that all the questions at the bottom of the ladder had been picked, while the ones in the middle required jumping to reach them.

Since the sons of noble families are more reserved, they are not as relaxed as the students from the charity school, and several questions have been snatched away by them one after another.

Seeing that Yan Yu was about to catch up, she finally let out a long sigh.

She whispered, "Fortunately, I shouldn't lose too badly!"

Meng Yunshang said, "Sister Sang, please don't underestimate yourself. It's already very good for the students of the charity hall to be able to do this. Young Master Luo Feng and others have been famous since they were young!"

Sang Qiutang narrowed his eyes and smiled: "You're right!"

At this time, Luo Feng on the field had begun to get anxious. Seeing that the questions in the middle section were about to be snatched away by the students from the charity hall, he suddenly became a little annoyed.

He quickly gritted his teeth, not caring about anything else, and jumped up to reach the question.

The other three followed suit and managed to regain some advantage.

After finishing all the questions in the middle section, Luo Feng was suddenly in trouble. He really couldn't reach the questions at the top and needed a ladder.

He quickly asked Xiao Rui for instructions: "Sir, we need to bring a few ladders over to get to the questions above!"

Before Xiao Rui could say anything, he saw Yan Yu clapping her hands.

He whispered something into the ears of the other three friends, and they nodded heavily.

Then two of them squatted on the ground, while the other two rode on their necks and slowly moved to a higher place to grab the questions.

Luo Feng was stunned: "Can we still do this?"

Xiao Rui directly ordered: "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Others can get the questions without a ladder, so you should learn from them too!"

Luo Feng's face turned red. They were gentlemen, how could they try to snatch questions in such an indecent manner?

The fact that he was able to jump already made him feel a little embarrassed.

He didn't dare disobey the master's order and quickly walked up to the remaining three people to discuss.

The three of them all frowned and said, "I don't want to be that person. When I return to the Imperial College, they will laugh at me!"

Luo Feng said unhappily: "Then can you all guarantee that you can answer the questions you grab accurately and without error?"

The three of them looked at each other and said, "No!"

Luo Feng urged impatiently: "We can't wait any longer. Can't you see that they are about to answer more questions than us? Are you willing to lose?"
