This is the last exam for the girls at Lotus Pond Academy. After finishing the exam, they will graduate and go their separate ways.
Therefore, the final exam has always been regarded as the most important exam for students. It is not only a test of five years of study, but also the beginning of the next stage of life.
The final exam is divided into three days, with one exam in each half-day.
Sheng Jinyue had never been to the academy since she had a falling out with Xie Mingxi that day. She didn't show up until the day of the exam.
Sheng Jinyue had a gloomy face and paid no attention to anyone.
Of course, no one wants to pay attention to her.
In the past, the Huainan Palace was very powerful, and for the sake of the Huainan Palace, all the girls could barely tolerate the arrogant and unpopular Sheng Jinyue. Now that the Huainan Palace has declined, who would be willing to look at Sheng Jinyue's face?
When Sheng Jinyue saw Xie Mingxi, her eyes were like daggers, full of hatred.
Xie Mingxi turned a blind eye and whispered to Lin Weiwei and Fang Ruomeng beside her: "The exam will start soon, and I'm actually a little nervous."
Lin Weiwei and Fang Ruomeng booed together.
"Every time you get perfect marks in the exam, why should you be nervous?" Lin Wei smiled and rolled his eyes at Xie Mingxi: "If you are so proud again, I will beat you!"
Fang Ruomeng also smiled and said: "That's right. He deliberately stimulates those of us who are immersed in studying and are not doing well in school."
As soon as this statement came out, there was another burst of boos.
"Fang Ruomeng, don't go too far!" Yan Zhenzhen, who usually loves to compete with Fang Ruomeng, now widened her bright eyes: "Who are you saying is not good at school?"
Fang Ruomeng responded seriously: "You heard me right, I'm talking about you."
The girls were laughing and joking.
Sheng Jinyue was completely excluded, feeling angry and aggrieved. She gritted her teeth hard and turned her head to the side.
Humph! She doesn’t care!
Anyway, after a few days, she will graduate from Lianchi Academy. From now on, she will never have to come to the academy again, and she will never have to face these annoying faces again!
She doesn't care at all!!!
…
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
All the girls looked at it together, and then yelled "Ahhhhh" together.
Xie Mingxi was also a little surprised.
It turned out that Xiao Yuhan and Li Xiangru, who had married into the Tian family as the prince's concubine, came hand in hand.
The two of them were still wearing the clothes they wore in the boudoir, and their hair was styled like a girl. It was as if they had not been absent for the past year, and they still looked the same as before.
"Sister Xiao," Yin Xiaoxiao rushed over and grabbed Xiao Yuhan's hand excitedly: "Why are you here?"
Xiao Yuhan pursed his lips and smiled, looked at each other with Li Xiangru, and then said: "Sister Li and I asked the Queen to let us go back to the academy to take the final exam in these three days. The Queen has agreed."
Even the names are the same as before.
Li Xiangru took over the conversation: "However, Sister Xiao and I haven't studied much this year. We will definitely fall behind you in today's final exam. When the results come out, you are not allowed to make fun of us."
He is still the same Li Xiangru who is very competitive!
Xie Mingxi couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
Li Xiangru happened to look over, and when she saw Xie Mingxi pursed her lips and smiled, she also laughed: "That's all, I know, you must say it. Even if I study for one more year, I still won't be able to pass the exam for you."
Xie Mingxi smiled leisurely: "You guessed wrong now. I want to say that no matter how many years you study, you will only get the second place in the exam."
Li Xiangru was angry and funny, and couldn't help but glare at Xie Mingxi: "You have such a mouth, you are never willing to forgive others. When you get married in the future and become my sister-in-law, let's see how I, my sister-in-law, deal with you."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone burst into laughter.
At this moment, no matter how many old grudges and barriers there were, they were all put aside unconsciously.
…
Amid the laughter of the girls, Chief Gu and Queen Yu walked in together.
The girls, who were chatting and laughing, immediately raised their hands and saluted: "Students have met Master Yu and Mr. Gu."
Empress Yu comes to Lianchi Academy less and less these days. However, for such an important final exam, Empress Yu did not miss it and came in person.
Queen Yu said with a smile: "Everyone is free of charge!"
Gu Shanchang glanced across the faces of the girls, and he felt a deep sense of reluctance in his heart. His slightly serious face was a bit softer today: "Everyone, sit down!"
Without waiting for Chief Gu's instructions, Xie Mingxi stepped forward, took the test papers, and distributed them one by one according to the order of seats.
None of the girls said a word, they lowered their heads and focused on the exam.
The order of the exams is generally the same as the monthly exams on weekdays.
The first exam today is about the Four Books and Five Classics. The girls have studied hard for five years and are already familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics. At this time, they are starting to write. Even the most difficult policy to write is not a problem.
Xie Mingxi was the first to complete the test paper.
According to past habits, she would be the first to hand in the paper. Today, she did not move, sitting quietly. It was not until all her classmates handed in their papers that she handed the paper to Principal Gu.
Gu Shan raised his eyebrows and asked.
What's wrong? Why did you deliberately hand in the paper last?
Before Xie Mingxi could say anything, Li Xiangru on the side sighed softly: "Every time Sister Xie hands in the paper, I get anxious and start writing faster than usual. I think other people also feel the same. Today, Sister Xie is not moving, but I am.
Much more calm than before.”
"Yes, yes, I'm not in a hurry today."
"I wrote one more paragraph than usual in my policy review."
"I wrote the test paper today very neatly."
The girls chatted and laughed, and Master Gu also laughed dumbly and looked at Xie Mingxi: "It turns out that you handed in the paper later to reassure your classmates."
Xie Mingxi pursed her lips and smiled slightly.
…
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the fourth day, a group of girls came to the academy to see their graduation results. Except for Sheng Jinyue, who got a B grade, the rest all got A grades.
As usual, Xie Mingxi ranked first with perfect scores.
Li Xiangru came to the academy for a year, but unfortunately fell to third place this time. The person who took second place was Fang Ruomeng.
Everyone received a handwritten letter from Chief Gu.
This handwriting, about three feet square, was written by Mr. Gu personally. The few words on it include not only Mr. Gu’s objective and fair evaluation of the students, but also his expectations and hopes for the future.
Xie Mingxi also got her own handwriting.
"...You are extremely intelligent, have a photographic memory, and can draw inferences from one instance to another. You are proficient in all six arts and have such a high level of talent that I have never seen before."
"I hope you will guard against arrogance and impetuosity, calm down, never forget the teachings of the masters at Lianchi Academy, and live up to the expectations of you as a teacher. I hope that one day you can truly see yourself clearly, find the path you want, and be determined and unyielding.
Move on."
A few words revealed Gu Shanchang's ardent expectations.
Xie Mingxi's nose was slightly sore and her eyes were slightly warm. (To be continued)
