When the answer was revealed, Zhao Ruxi was no longer interested in it, yawned and said, "Prepare water, I'm going to take a bath and go to bed."

A few months later, she suddenly changed from a night owl to a person who works at sunrise and rests at sunset. It's scary.

Although there was no Internet in ancient times, the transmission speed of gossip was not slow at all.

The next day, Zhao Ruxi went to Bac Ninh Girls' College to take an exam and heard her classmates who usually studied hard talking about last night's auction.

"Zhiwei, did you and Mr. Kumu go to the auction last night? I heard that a painting by Mr. Kumu sold for twenty-five thousand taels of silver. Is it true?" Someone saw Zhao Ruxi coming in and asked immediately.

.

"I went. Yes." Zhao Ruxi nodded with a smile, "It was very lively."

Everyone looked at her with envy and asked her for details.

Zhao Ruxi said briefly.

"It's such a pity that we can't go and see this excitement."

The classmate was very regretful and asked: "I also heard that at the end of the auction, the auction house gave each guest a piece of silk and satin. The silk and satin were very beautiful, and the flowers were printed on them. The color was bright and did not fade. You

Did you receive it? Is it true that it doesn’t fade?”

The effect of this advertisement is really impressive.

Zhao Ruxi said: "I saw the silk and satin when I got home last night, so I asked the maid to wash it in the basin. It really doesn't fade, and the patterns and colors on it are very beautiful. It couldn't be better to make a skirt, and there is no need to embroider it."

They were all little girls, and they were even more excited when they heard the news than when Zhao Ruxi said about the auction process.

Another classmate asked: "Zhiwei, do you know where these silks and satins are sold?"

"I see that there are three words 'Jinyunfang' engraved on the box. It should be sold by this shop. If you want it, you can send people to the capital to find out. This shop should be on the busiest streets in the south of the city.

It's on the street, maybe next to the auction house. It was so dark last night that I didn't pay much attention."

It is impossible for Xiao Lingyan to sell a shop like this that sells high-end silk and satin in the west or north of the city; it is also impossible for the shop to be located in a corner.

Shops in good areas of the capital are not available to others. It shouldn't be difficult for him and the two princes Xiao Lingpu to buy or rent such shops. They don't have them themselves, but the Cen family always has them.

"There's no need to send a servant, I'll go there myself tomorrow. I'm studying in college and haven't gone shopping for a long time. I have a holiday today after taking the exam, so I have to go shopping."

"I'll go too, I'll go too."

Hearing these little girls chattering about where to go shopping tomorrow and where to buy good rouge and gouache, Zhao Ruxi felt like she was back in a modern classroom.

There was also someone who was not interested in these topics. She felt that the loud voices of her classmates were affecting her reading, so she shouted at everyone: "It's getting late, and the exam is about to take place. Don't you all need to review your books?"

As soon as they heard the word "exam", everyone immediately dispersed, returned to their seats, picked up their books and started reading.

At Sichu, Mrs. Cui came in, and with her came two middle-aged women with serious expressions.

"This is Mrs. Zhang, and this is Mrs. Tao. They are both stewards of the Capital Women's Academy. They will supervise today's exam," Mrs. Cui introduced.

After Mrs. Cui introduced her, one of the women in dark purple clothes said: "I am Manager Zhang. After Princess Shangde's application, the test papers used for the annual examination of your academy are the same set of questions as the annual examination of the Capital Girls' Academy."

Manager Zhang glanced at the people below: "To prevent cheating, Concubine Jin specially sent me and Manager Tao to supervise the exam. Everyone knows that since the establishment of our Women's Academy, the most important thing is morality..."

She talked non-stop about discipline for a quarter of an hour, and then nodded to Manager Tao: "Okay, let's get started."

Manager Tao motioned to the person she brought to open the sealed test paper and handed it to Manager Zhang for her to take a look at before having it handed out.

While Manager Zhang was talking about discipline, Zhao Ruxi stared at Mrs. Cui intently.

Zhao Ruxi had never been someone who just lowered her head to pull the cart and didn't care to look up at the road. After she entered the North Campus of the Women's College, she made friends with everyone, whether it was Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Chen or the gatekeeper. She could clearly inquire about the affairs in the academy.

Chu.

Because the relationship between Princess Shangde and Concubine Jin was not harmonious, even though the Beining Girls' College was very close to the Girls' College in the capital, each had its own test paper in the annual examination, and there was never a common set of questions.

Now Princess Shangde actually went to bow to Concubine Jin and proposed to share a set of questions with her, and she had to accept the superior supervisor sent by the Capital Girls' Academy. Zhao Ruxi seriously suspected that this was Mrs. Cui's idea.

Because in the past two months, she had taken the first place in the monthly exams every ten days, and basically won the first place with full marks. Princess Shangde and Mrs. Cui's hearts were swollen, and they might have had the idea to take her out and follow her.

The idea of ​​​​competition in the Beijing Girls' School.

After Mrs. Cui came in and introduced their identities, she just stood there as a backdrop. As a result, she felt uncomfortable under Zhao Ruxi's burning eyes.

She simply lowered her head and stared at the ground.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Ruxi became more and more sure of her suspicion.

There were not many students in Class A of the North Campus. Even though Zhao Ruxi was sitting in the back, the test papers were quickly handed to her.

She recovered her mind and began to concentrate on answering the questions.

Now that the matter has come to this, she can only do her best to earn face for Princess Shangde and Mrs. Cui.

In order to demonstrate the idea of ​​"who said women are inferior to men", the questions and formats of the monthly and annual exams in women's colleges are basically based on the standards of the children's exams. The exam lasts one day. The college provides a meal, and the candidates have to go to the toilet by their mother-in-law.

Follow.

In the past monthly exams, Zhao Ruxi basically took half a day to finish the exam and handed in the papers in advance. After handing in the papers, she could go back to her small courtyard to have a nice lunch.

This time there were people from the Capital Girls' School, so she didn't want to go too far.

If there is someone in the Capital Girls' College who is really better than her, or if the Capital Girls' College deliberately suppresses her score during the marking process, making her inferior to the candidates of the Capital Girls' College, and she loses in this competition, maybe the people from the Capital Girls' College will take the exam.

She made a fuss about handing in papers in advance.

She deliberately slowed down and considered the answer again and again, then she took up her pen and wrote it carefully, making sure to write the words extremely neatly and beautifully.

Although this kind of examination is based on the rules of the children's examination, the test papers submitted are not anonymous. Depending on the situation, their test papers must be sent to the Capital Girls' School for correction. In order to preserve the reputation of the Capital Girls' School

In order to maintain their reputation and maintain their transcendent status, no matter how notarized the examination papers are, the examiners will subconsciously prefer the Beijing Women's College and have stricter requirements for the examination papers of Beining Women's College.
