Fang Xiaofan nodded very dryly: "Yes!" ”

She replied crisply.

It is very the style of the Fang family, and the Fang family has always said after doing things, and they will never be blind.

For example, Fang Jifan always slaps people or kicks them before scolding people, but never scolds and scolds a few sticks of incense, and then cowards.

Fang Jifan was very pleased: "Why? ”

Fang Xiaofan thought for a while: "The people in the palace who can count are too bad, I want to know, outside this palace, is there a mountain outside the mountain, and there are people outside the people." ”

Ambitious.

Fang Jifan couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Brother is approved, you can go to the test." But ......"

Fang Jifan hesitated again, would it be embarrassing to do too badly in the exam?

"But what, brother, don't you look down on me."

Fang Jifan shook his head: "Don't dare, don't dare." I mean, before the exam, you have to practice, so why don't you do it, and when you go back, I'll get you some questions. You don't do anything, just the questions. ”

Although Fang Jifan doesn't know much about mathematics, he ...... This does not prevent him from knowing how to take the exam.

"Oh." Fang Xiaofan nodded.

Fang Jifan exhaled, Xiao Fan's temper is not small, this is like me.

I sat idle for a moment.

On the other side, a eunuch came to call.

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan went over, but they saw that the Zhang brothers had stopped crying, and the eyes of the two of them were gloomy, like a woman who had just lost her virginity, and her eyes were empty.

Fang Jifan's heart hurt a little, and his mother-in-law was a little cruel.

Empress Zhang smiled: "This silver thing has finally been completed, very good, this women's federation is now asking for people, asking for silver and silver, if you don't think about it, it won't be done." Ji Fan, you are in the outer court, and you have to follow the foil and help the foil. ”

Fang Jifan nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Erchen understands, Erchen must do his best." ”

Empress Zhang was in a very good mood: "It's so good. ”

Fang Jifan said: "There is one more thing, Xiao Fan wants to participate in the math competition, Niangniang...... Erchen thought that this was a great opportunity. ”

"Chance, what chance?"

"Women don't let their eyebrows go." Fang Jifan looked at Empress Zhang with a smile.

Empress Zhang immediately understood.

The main programme of the Women's Federation is nothing more than two.

One is to call the shots for the humiliated women.

The second is to encourage women to be self-reliant.

If we don't prove that women are not necessarily weaker than men, then how can we change people's long-held attitudes?

Fang Jifan said: "Erchen heard people say when he was a child, a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, these words, Erchen has heard the cocoon coming, the person who said such a thing, Erchen is absolutely disagreeable, Erchen has not seen many women, but he has seen Niangniang and Her Royal Highness Princess Taikang, Niangniang and Her Royal Highness, not to mention Xiuwai Huizhong, running the family business, dignified and generous; Speaking of this ability, there are a few men who can match it, so Erchen is thinking......"

Empress Zhang loves to hear this.

Empress Zhang said with a smile: "The only thing that is a little worried in this palace is ...... What if the little fan doesn't do well in the exam? ”

Fang Jifan swore and said: "Niangniang, don't worry, the people from the Fang family, which one is not extremely smart, Erchen these days, try his best to make up for her, tomorrow, Erchen will send someone to take her home to live for a while, teach her well, don't worry about her becoming a talent." ”

Empress Zhang smiled: "That's fine, this palace looks at her, it is indeed extremely smart." ”

Obviously, Empress Zhang also wants to fight the first battle of the Women's Federation.

Therefore, I am extremely concerned about this.

She said: "In this case, then it is decided, this matter will be handed over to you by the palace, and if it is done, you will make a great contribution to the Women's Federation." ”

As soon as Fang Jifan heard that he could make meritorious contributions to his sisters, his blood immediately boiled: "Obey orders." ”

……

Come out of the Kunning Palace.

The Zhang brothers hung their heads.

Fang Jifan stepped forward to greet them: "Two uncles, how are you." ”

Zhang Heling's face was blue and white, and he really couldn't arouse any interest, so he took care of Fang Jifan and reluctantly said, "Well, well, okay." ”

Zhang Yanling said on the side: "Xiao Fang, I haven't seen you for a long time, why don't you go to the house to sit down and have a light meal?" ”

Fang Jifan: "......"

Zhang Heling is very excited: "Ji Fan is busy, you don't always delay other people's time, people don't look down on a meal, don't delay other people's major events, he is not like us, he has nothing to do all day long, Ji Fan, don't you say?" ”

Fang Jifan was also a lot more relaxed, and looked relieved: "Yes, yes, my uncle still knows me." ”

"Ah, let's go." Zhang Heling hurriedly dragged Zhang Yanling and left.

…………

The next day.

The Fang family sent a carriage and horse to the noon gate to pick up Fang Xiaofan.

In order to prepare for the exam, Fang Jifan was busy all night.

When Fang Xiaofan arrived home, Zhu Xiurong greeted him, the concubines were all acquaintances, and Xiao Fan was even more watched by Zhu Xiurong grow up, so he would not be unfamiliar.

The two of them went in and saw that Fang Jifan was sorting out a thick pile of books and exam questions, and Fang Jifan's eyes were red.

Zhu Xiurong couldn't help but say: "He didn't sleep all night, he went to the library overnight and brought back a sack of this thing......

Fang Jifan laughed: "You don't understand, what is this, this is a baby, this is our Xishan Academy, since the establishment of the School of Mathematics, the exam questions over the years, I think, this competition, eight or nine times out of ten, the questions drawn are all from here, Xiao Fan is going to take the exam, to win glory for our Fang family, how can she be left behind, backward, I am a brother who is out of the house, I have no face, I always suspect that someone is laughing at our Fang family, isn't this just a dispute between me and others?" If you hit someone, it's not good. ”

Fang Jifan said, shaking out the thick sack of scrolls and book titles: "Xiao Fan, these days, don't do anything, do all these questions, and when you are done, you will be a teacher." ”

Zhang Xiurong smacked his tongue.

This is a competition.

It is a cabinet organization, co-organized by the Ministry of Households, Xishan Academy and Baoding Political Envoy Division.

The specifications are still very high.

The purpose is to select talents.

The Cabinet and various institutions have consulted, and those who are at the top will not only be given a large bonus, but also the title of bachelor, and even the Cabinet will award them to the scholars.

The names and positions of the Zhongshu Sheren were different in the past dynasties, and in the Southern Dynasties, they were in charge of the edicts, edicts, proclamations, and the acceptance of the Shangsheng table; Sui Shi was in charge of the edict; During the Tang Dynasty, he was in charge of edicts, participated in secrets, and decided on government affairs; During the Song Dynasty, he participated in the decision-making of government decrees and was in charge of various affairs in the province of Zhongshu.

It can be said that in the previous dynasty, this thing was very high-level, and it was already equivalent to the power of the prime minister.

Even, when its authority reached the peak in the Tang and Song dynasties, it reached its peak, because Zhongshu Province was also known as Ziwei Province, and in the Tang and Song dynasties, the Zhongshu people were also called "Ziwei Sheren", and they were in charge of judging all matters in Zhongshu Province.

However, when it came to the Ming Dynasty, it did not set up Zhongshu Province, so it was not known as Ziwei Sheren.

In the Ming Dynasty, because of the abolition of Zhongshu Province, there was naturally no such official position.

However, out of habit, this cabinet is still called the auxiliary institution, and the cabinet scholars work in the cabinet and need someone to assist, so they select some people who can read and write from the first department, prison students, students, and cloth clothes, and do things in the cabinet.

This thing, now in the future generations, has a name, called temporary worker.

But this temporary worker, although not an official position specially granted by the imperial court, is to assist in the affairs of the cabinet, and this power is not small.

In the cabinet, the unqualified and rankless Chinese scholars, when they leave the cabinet, even if they are Shangshu and Shilang, they have to say hello.

The cabinet awarded the top people as Zhongshu Sheren, naturally in the hope that some outstanding people will be selected to assist Liu Jian and others in acting official affairs, which can also be seen that the cabinet attaches great importance to outstanding arithmetic talents.

This exam, almost everyone who has studied arithmetic, attaches great importance to it, after all, it is an opportunity to enter the cabinet and meet the cabinet scholars at any time. Once at the top of the list, it is not an exaggeration to say that it soared. The benefits are not under the title of the gold list.

Therefore, many people are sharpening their knives, and according to the rules, the personnel of the Statistics Department of the Ministry of Households, the Xishan Institute of Mathematics, and the Baoding Political Envoy Department can directly participate in the examination.

As for the others, they need to pass through layers of selection before they are eligible for the examination.

Therefore, this exam is very stressful.

Zhu Xiurong frowned when he saw the pile of test questions: "Xiao Fan is a woman, you are a brother, you should teach her virtuous and virtuous, but how to teach this." ”

Fang Jifan's eyes widened: "Your Highness, the sky has changed, you still don't know...... Anyway, when you enter the palace, you will know, it's not too early, Xiao Fan, you can't waste your time, come on, come, I'll accompany you to do the question. ”

Fang Xiaofan said with a smile: "Okay." ”

The two brothers and sisters, around the table, Fang Jifan took the volume, and said, "I don't understand, you ......"

He wanted to say, I don't understand, you come to ask me, think about it, as if you ......

"I don't understand, you tell your brother, brother, I'll help you sort out your doubts and help you ask around."

"Oh."

Fang Xiaofan quickly entered the state, picked up the volume, carried the charcoal, and began to work on the question completely forgetful.

Seeing this, Zhu Xiurong couldn't help asking: "Xiao Fan, are you hungry?" ”

Fang Xiaofan didn't answer her.

Zhu Xiurong sighed, and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare some pastries and tea, and put them on Fang Xiaofan's side.

Fang Jifan was on the side, bored, seeing that Fang Jifan didn't eat, he simply ate on the side, while eating, while looking down at the test paper, he sighed in his heart, mathematics is broad and profound, my Jifan in this life, I'm afraid I won't be able to learn, but don't worry, I still have a sister, she will complete our Jifan's regrets.

Any learning is inseparable from people's interests.

If a person is not interested, you catch her how to learn, and she also goes in and out of her left ear and right ear.

But if Fang Xiaofan is like this, if she is interested, then it will be terrible, Fang Xiaofan sat without movement for two hours, and when she looked up, she was hungry: "Brother, I'm hungry." ”

Then, she looked at the empty plates on the table, and the tea that had long since been drunk.

Fang Jifan touched his stomach: "When you say this, I find that I am hungry again." ”
