Feng Zongping looked at her suspiciously. Before he could say anything, Yun Xinxuan, who was behind him, had already laughed and said: "My favorite topic for sacrificial wine is from Confucian classics, but there are so many Confucian classics. Did your junior brother remember to come here?"
?”
Man Bao thoughtfully said, "Yes, he is from the Kong family."
She looked at them with sparkling eyes and asked, "Do you have the questions that Kong Jijiu has given to first-level freshmen over the years?"
Feng Zongping confirmed a little and asked: "Your junior brother won't be taking part in the entrance examination in two days, right?"
Man Bao glanced at him, nodded and said, "Yes."
Feng Zongping touched his chin and asked, "Do you know how to interpret Dao Zilu Wenqiang's strategy just now?"
Man Bao thought for a while and then said: "Let's explain it from the perspective of a gentleman being harmonious but not dissatisfied, a state's way, and not being blocked."
Feng Zong stroked his palms flatly, "Not bad, not bad, how does your junior brother compare to you?"
Man Bao thought for a longer time and said reluctantly: "A little stronger than me."
Feng Zongping smiled and said: "Then he will have no problem taking the Guozixue exam. This is my second-level end-of-year exam. I am now third-level. He can figure out such a strategy. Even if it is a little bit worse, it is better than those people.
Much stronger."
Manbao's eyes brightened and he asked, "Do you know the other forty-six students? How knowledgeable are they?"
Feng Zongping looked at her but smiled and said nothing.
Man Bao felt a little more confident, but then he became troubled again when he thought about it, "But I have two junior brothers."
Everyone:...What does this mean?
Man Bao looked back and forth at the four students surrounding her and narrowed her eyes, "Let me treat you to a meal. You are all grown up. How can you drink in a bar? I will treat you to a drink and let's talk about past exams."
What's the topic? You can remember it, right?"
Feng Zongping: "...Both of your junior brothers should be recruited?"
Man Bao nodded, "They belong to the same family."
"So, you are not from the same family as them?"
"How about we have different surnames? Should we have dinner together?"
Feng Zongping looked around and asked, "Why don't they come in person?"
"They are being kept at home by their husband to study. They probably won't be able to come out for the next two days. Do you want to drink? I heard that there is a restaurant out front that has very good wine."
Yi Ziyang on the side interrupted and asked, "Is it the Zhuangyuan Building?"
Man Bao didn't know what building it was. She didn't even know the road. But since someone mentioned the restaurant's name, she nodded and said, "Yes, it's the Number One Scholar Building."
Yi Ziyang tugged on Feng Zongping's sleeve and whispered: "Where's the wine from Zhuangyuanlou?"
Feng Zongping glanced at him and whispered: "Can you remember the exam questions from previous years?"
Yi Ziyang was silent for a while and then said: "How many of you are fooling me with your nonsense?"
"Didn't I try it just now? She even solved the question of "The Mean". Think about how you failed this question a few years ago." So even if you think with your toes, you can't fool her.
Man Bao saw them gathering together and whispering together. Although she couldn't hear what they were saying, she could roughly guess what they were saying after thinking about it for herself and Bai Shan Bai Erlang.
She sighed and said: "I understand, you must not have remembered the questions, but that doesn't matter. You should still keep the papers. You can just give them to me. I can wait for you here and wait for you to get the papers.
Come, I'll buy you a drink."
The four of them continued to be silent.
Man Bao understood it at a glance, "Well, it seems that you are just like my junior brother. Not only did you forget the questions after the exam, you didn't even keep the paper."
Four people: ...Whoever has nothing left to keep the exam papers should just stuff them wherever they can.
Man Bao sighed, cupped his hands and said, "See you later."
Four people:……
Feng Zongping couldn't help but said: "You are useless here."
He motioned her to look at the students who were coming out of the door one after another. Most of them took one look and left without staying much.
"As you can see, everyone was just curious to see who would come up and sell the papers?"
Man Bao asked curiously: "Why not sell it?"
Yi Ziyang said: "Because there is no shortage of money. Those who can't live in the school either live in the capital or can afford to rent a house outside. Who is short of money?"
Feng Zongping smiled and said: "Yes, most of the students of Guozixue are the children of officials of third rank or above. They basically live outside. There are only a few common people who can be admitted to Guozixue, but most of the students of Taixue live outside.
Most of them are descendants of fourth-rank official families, and the fourth-rank officials are descendants of fifth-rank officials. Those who are really short of money and need to sell test papers live here."
Man Bao asked angrily, "Then why did you come here?"
Feng Zongping coughed lightly and said, "Aren't I curious? By the way, which family does your junior brother come from? Are the ancestors the heroes, or..."
Man Bao said: "It's his father, but I won't tell you who his father is. Well, I've found an acquaintance. Let's go first."
Man Bao saw Bai Dalang, patted Daji and then greeted Bai Dalang.
Bai Dalang spotted them as soon as he went out, so his mouth was wide open with a look of disbelief on his face.
Man Bao stepped forward and pulled Bai Dalang aside, "Senior Brother Bai, have you found out about the exam papers from previous years?"
Bai Dalang shook his head in a daze, "The time is too tight, how can it be so fast, but Manbao, why are you holding the paper and collecting the papers at the door? If you let the doctors know, you will be reprimanded."
"I'm not a student of Guozixue. What should I be afraid of?"
Too.
Bai Dalang nodded. After nodding, he still felt that this was not good. Just when he was about to talk to her, Man Bao quickly said: "Senior Brother Bai, please go in again. Don't look for your classmates. They have just entered school."
It's been a few months and the dishes haven't been cooked yet, so you look for second-level seniors, um, from less wealthy families, who are easy to make friends with and lively. Even if they don't have the paper in hand, they will definitely know who has it."
Bai Dalang pondered for a moment and then nodded. He was also admitted from Mianzhou, so he naturally knew that some bookstores secretly sold various secret papers, and these papers basically came from students in the school.
It's just that he used to buy the papers directly from the bookstore, or use Mr. Zhuang's relationship to get the papers compiled by them directly from the gentlemen of the government school. He rarely inquired directly from the students like this.
So he was a little embarrassed and his face turned red.
Man Bao was very worried when he saw it. He felt that this senior brother's face was much worse than that of his own brother.
Man Bao handed him his money bag and said, "Senior brother, as long as you give him enough money, there is no paper in this world that cannot be bought."
Bai Dalang nodded without confidence, "Okay."
Feng Zongping and Bai Dalang came over after entering. Together with Man Bao, they watched the people disappear and asked, "Is this a student from the Four Schools? Do you know him?"
Manbao ignored him.
"Hey, little lady, this is very bad. If I can't get the paper, why don't you ignore me?"
Man Bao said: "The main reason is that you lie to others."
Feng Zongping coughed lightly and said, "Then I'll have to say goodbye to you, right?"
