The two began to blame each other.
Wei Xian raised his eyebrows and took a step forward.
"Zhongtian, you are such a jerk. You have been an official for so long, why do you like beating around the bush so much?"
He turned to Li Qingcha,
"Mr. Siwei, let's be frank. If you were asked to write an article for a primary school student in your normal language, what kind of article would you write?"
This guy really doesn't beat around the bush.
Just change the request!
Li Qingcha was speechless.
Is he going to usurp Xun Ge'er's position as the founder of the first modern vernacular novel?
She said depressedly: "Let me write... I guess I'll write "The Tadpole Looking for Its Mother"..."
Mom becomes mother,
How weird!
Wei Xian asked curiously, "Does this sound like a story like "The Chicken"? "
Li Qingcha shook his head.
"No, 'The Chicken' is a fable, while 'The Tadpole Looking for Its Mother' is more like a fairy tale... well... well, there's not much difference."
"Mr. Siwei, can you write one?"
"This... is not impossible..."
Seeing that Li Qingcha agreed, Chu Zhongtian and Wei Xian looked at each other and saw enthusiasm in each other's eyes.
Li Qingcha: “…”
She was afraid that she would be assigned to do the task again, so she quickly apologized and left.
Chapter 397 The Second Literacy Question
A fairy tale only has a few hundred words. Although Li Qingcha has almost forgotten it, he can still imagine it in his mind.
After she finished writing, she sent someone to deliver it to Bailu Academy.
The next step is to wait for news.
Unexpectedly, the article fell into oblivion and no further news was given.
Maybe Wei Xian felt it was too "advanced",
Of course, it is also possible that the pilot program has already been launched in several primary schools, but due to insufficient time, no results can be seen for the time being.
time flies,
The fourth day has come for the seventh prince's preliminary selection of a princess.
Li Qingcha went to the Kings' Hall.
Unexpectedly, the square in front of the museum was still bustling, and it seemed that there were only two-thirds fewer people.
She was slightly stunned and entered the main hall.
Lin Sicong saw her and smiled.
"Master Li, I was just chatting with Master Jie, wondering if you would come today~"
Then he turned to Xie Chengxuan,
"Mr. Jie, you're in for lunch today."
Li Qingcha: ￣□￣｜｜
The two of them actually made a bet on whether they would be absent from work or not. They were quite leisurely.
Xie Chengxuan nodded with a smile.
"It's my treat. It just so happens that Mr. Li is here today, so I'm happy to treat you."
Lin Sicong: “(ˉ▽￣～) Tsk~~”
Looking at the two of them chatting, I think they get along well.
Li Qingcha exchanged a few pleasantries with them, and then turned the topic to business.
"You two, how did the primary election go?"
Xie Chengxuan immediately replied: "There are only 500 people left today."
"What about the front list?"
"here."
As he said this, he asked the officer to hand over the list of candidates who had passed the preliminary selection.
Li Qingcha looked at it and was immediately confused.
"One hundred people per page, more than thirty pages...hiss...there are still more than three thousand people? What's going on? Didn't only one of the first seventeen hundred pass? Why did it turn out like this?"
Xie Chengxuan couldn't help but sigh.
"There's nothing I can do."
"what happened?"
"It is said that the big families in the capital were like crazy. After the first day of the preliminary selection, they went back and gave their daughters questions all night long. They asked them to pick seven words from the Four Books for Women at random and read them out within three breaths no matter how they were arranged or combined."
Li Qingcha: ￣□￣｜｜
This one is so damn curly!
She walked to the door and stuck her head out, and she found that the mental states of the ladies below were all very abnormal.
Some were extremely excited, their eyes wide open, as if sparkling;
Some are so depressed that they seem to fall asleep while standing.
The only thing the two types of people have in common is the heavy dark circles under their eyes.
Emmm...
Exactly the same symptoms I'd experience after an all-nighter before a college exam.
Li Qingcha actually felt a little guilty.
But it's just a little bit,
Soon, she adjusted her mindset.
"Three thousand people is still a lot..."
Xie Chengxuan did not respond.
He doesn't care.
On the contrary, Lin Sicong on the side was very depressed, because it was impossible to fulfill the small note requested by Concubine Lin and the Seventh Prince.
Li Qingcha said: "Is there any other solution?"
Xie Chengxuan immediately understood and fell into deep thought.
"If you want to further narrow the scope, you can't use the literacy trick anymore. If you want to test it, it's nothing more than testing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, tea, and flowers."
understood,
Isn’t it just a variety show where people audition for talent shows?
Li Qingcha calculated in his mind that if each person had five minutes, twelve people would have one hour.
Three thousand people...
Eleven whole days! ?
She is really being bullied by those curlers out there.
Xie Chengxuan said, "Master Li, considering the Seventh Prince's current reputation among the people, it would be reasonable to take a month to select a consort. You have shortened the time by so much, which is already quite difficult."
The effect of this comfort is infinitely close to zero.
At this moment, there was a commotion at the back door.
The Seventh Prince came in.
He panted and said, "What's going on outside? Why are those people like spirits? Their eyes are glowing just like Xiao Hui's."
Xiao Hui: “Meow~”
Li Qingcha said: "Xiao Hui's eyes only glow at night."
"I know that I am just a metaphor."
"Alas... In order to become His Highness's daughter-in-law, they have all been studying lately. I think they have almost torn the Four Books for Women into pieces."
Really broken down.
Remember it in fragments, word by word.
The Seventh Prince trembled.
"Are they...are they so horny?"
puff!
Lin Sicong and Jie Chengxuan burst out laughing on the spot, and quickly turned their heads away, pretending not to hear anything.
The Seventh Prince sat dejectedly on the chair, the words of his younger brother and sister ringing in his ears.
He looked directly into Li Qingcha's eyes.
"Save the child!"
Li Qingcha: “…”
"Are you so scared?"
"Marriage is the grave of love!"
"Who told you this?"
"..."
"Besides, having a grave is better than having no grave at all. Otherwise, wouldn't you die without a burial place?"
Seventh Prince: ???
How else can it be explained this way?
Xie Chengxuan on the side finally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Your Highness, Lord Li, selecting a prince's consort is a happy occasion, don't say those unlucky words, it's bad luck!"
Li Qingcha nodded.
"In that case, what should I do... um..."
She paused for a moment, because the Seventh Prince looked like he was about to cry.
Li Qingcha: ￣□￣｜｜
"Your Highness, please don't..."
"Brother Qingcha, save me! 55555~"
"..."
"..."
An eerie silence.
Li Qingcha looked at the Seventh Prince, thinking that he was diligently taking the blame for him, so he decided to help him if he could.
She said: "Your Highness, if you stick your head out, you'll get a knife. If you hide your head, you'll also get a knife..."
Xie Chengxuan: "Ahem..."
He coughed to remind Li Qingcha not to talk about beheading him again.
Li Qingcha changed the subject.
