Man Bao and Bai Shan Bai Erlang also stood at the second gate to watch the people of the Yang family leave. Mr. Zhuang turned his head and saw that they were motionless, so he coughed lightly and said, "Okay, so many people are digging stones and paving the road for you. It’s time to work hard.”

The three of Bai Shan bowed in unison, and went back to the study with Mr. Zhuang.

Man Bao finished his new class, recited it a few times silently, and finished his homework. He sank into his consciousness and glanced at the time in the system. When he felt that it was almost time, he got up, "Sir, I'm going out."

Mr. Zhuang waved, "Go, go."

Bai Shan raised his head from the book, and said to the window, "Daji, you can send Manbao."

Daji agreed and went to the front yard to drive a carriage.

Man Bao turned around and found a large piece of white paper, picked up a pen and wrote a line of large characters on it—receiving papers (the papers for Guozixue and Taixue's mid-year exams, year-end exams, and final exams).

After finishing writing, Man Bao blew while Mr. Zhuang was stunned, and when he was almost done, he rolled up and walked away, and reached out to greet Mr. Zhuang, "Sir, I am really leaving, Shan Bao, please remember to help me Wash your pens."

It was only then that Bai Shan found out that she hadn't washed the pen, and he wanted to express his objection, but Man Bao had already fled away.

Bai Shan couldn't help mumbling, he hated washing pens the most.

Man Bao carried her small backpack on her back. There were pens, ink, paper and inkstone in the backpack.

When they arrived at the gate of the Guozijian, it was the time when they were leaving school, and many students came out of it together.

Man Bao immediately took out the big sign and handed it to Daji, "Quickly open up and stand in front of the gate."

Daji: ...

The two stared at each other for a while, and Man Bao asked, "Is there a problem?"

Daji blushed—ashamed! He silently unfolded the large paper and stood opposite the gate of the Imperial College.

Man Bao nodded in satisfaction, put the basket by his feet, stood beside him with his little hands behind his back and waited in satisfaction.

The students who filed out glanced at the white paper stretched out in Daji's hand, then at Manbao, and left one after another, but some stopped to look at it for a while, and then couldn't help but waved their folding fans and came forward, "Little lady, you Want to collect papers?"

Man Bao nodded, "You have?"

He laughed and said, "I'm a student of Guozixue, how could there be none? But the papers are at home, it's too troublesome to get them, why don't you write them down when I read them?"

Man Bao smiled and said, "Of course."

She turned around and took out the paper and pen from the basket, smiled at him and said, "Read it."

The other party raised his eyebrows, apparently not expecting her to be so well prepared, and said with a smile: "No hurry, let's talk about the price first?"

Man Bao said: "A set of papers costs a penny."

"Only a penny?"

"A penny is already a lot, okay?" Man Bao said, "I didn't ask for your answer, and you didn't write the paper, and I didn't even ask you to write it out. You didn't even pay for pen, ink and paper, so I just repeated it." Isn’t it too much to earn a penny at once?”

"But this is a paper from Guozixue."

"Yes, that's why I gave you a penny. If it's a paper from another academy, I won't give you ten pennies."

Student: ...

Man Bao was ready and asked, "Are you going to sell it or not?"

The other party froze for a moment, then nodded and said, "Sell, you can listen carefully."

After he coughed lightly, he read with his hands behind his back: ""Kang Gao" said: "Ke Mingde." "Tai Jia" said: "Gu Tengtian's Ming Ming." "Di Dian" said: "Ke Ming Junde. ’ It’s all self-evident.”

Man Bao looked at him quietly.

Seeing that Man Bao hadn't written the pen, he asked, "Why don't you memorize it? Don't you know how to write? It doesn't matter, I'll write it for you, and just pay an extra penny for the writing fee."

Man Bao dodged his hand and asked, "And then? Is this the topic of policy theory?"

"No, this is the scripture."

Man Bao asked angrily, "You posted the scripture test "University"."

The student blinked, "That's right, "University" is the most important thing in "Book of Rites", so of course it has to be taken."

Man Bao thought for a while, and felt that what he said made sense, so he asked: "Do you often take the "University" exam in Guozixue?"

"Okay, do you remember?"

Man Bao glanced at him, wrote only the word "University" on the paper, and then continued to ask: "Where did most of the scriptures come from? Are they all in "University"?"

The student smiled at her and said, "Gentlemen like to draw questions from the Book of Rites."

"Book of Rites" is such a thick book, but Bai Shan has memorized it down. Bai Erlang thinks it's enough, "Which part of "Book of Rites" is it?"

The student said: "The price is different."

Man Bao looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Forget it, let's put aside the scriptures and whatnot, what was the topic of your policy theory exam at the end of last year?" This is the most important thing.

The student blinked and said nonsense: "The so-called one who is sincere, don't deceive yourself. That's it."

Man Bao bit his pen and looked at him, and asked suspiciously after a while, "Which year's end-of-year exam was the scripture you gave me just now?"

"It was last year."

Man Bao gritted his teeth and asked, "Will your husband publish the scriptures and policy theory in the same book when he proposes a question?"

The student coughed lightly and said, "It's impossible, we only learned "University"."

Man Bao looked at him suspiciously, "You only learned "University" at such an old age?"

The student couldn't help touching his cheek and asked, "Am I very old?"

The students who had been suppressing their laughter could no longer hold back their laughter, and said with a big laugh, "Feng Zongping, don't make fun of me, little lady. Last year, the strategy theory of Guozixue was clearly that 'the strength of the south is stronger than that of the north. The strong and the strong and the strong and the gentle? To teach with gentleness, not to repay the injustice, the south is also strong. A gentleman lives in it.'”

Just when Feng Zongping was about to fight back with a smile, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Man Bao quickly writing down the words "Zi Lu Wenqiang in "The Doctrine of the Mean"" on the paper. Man Bao, "What are you doing asking questions, little lady?"

Man Bao said angrily: "You lied and cheated, and you lost a penny."

Feng Zongping smiled and apologized, and said: "I didn't mean it, it's just the first time I saw someone collecting the papers at the gate of the Imperial College, so I couldn't help but wonder, which bookstore did the young lady collect the papers on behalf of?"

"I'm here for my junior brother. He's about to take the Guozixue exam. I want to get some papers for him."

Feng Zongping laughed and said, "This big exam is different from the papers we take at the end of the year."

Man Bao asked curiously, "Why is it different?"

"Easy ones are much easier, and difficult ones are harder," he said with a smile. "We have studied in the Imperial College for a few years. The easy papers can't be easier than the exams, right? Doesn't it mean that there is no progress after entering school?" ?”

"That makes sense. If your sacrificial wine gives questions to first-level students, what book does he like to write questions from?"
