Chapter 244 Little strength (third watch)

   "Why did she come in Princess Jing Ning's sedan chair?"

"Exactly! A hick, why?"

   "Did Princess Jing Ning lend her the sedan chair because she couldn't bear to see that she was left alone?"

   "I think it's probably because she complained to Princess Jing Ning herself!"

   "It's really lucky to meet Princess Jing Ning..."

  The buzzing discussion made Su Xiaoxiao become the focus of everyone again.

  However, what surprised everyone was that Su Xiaoxiao, who was being pointed at, did not show the slightest bit of nervousness or apprehension on her face.

   It must be known that many daughters of aristocratic families entering the palace for the first time cannot be as calm and calm as her.

   "Is she stupid?"

   a daughter asked in a low voice.

  The rest laughed out loud.

   There was a daughter who was fairly familiar with Qin Yanran, who tugged at Qin Yanran's sleeve: "Miss Qin."

  Qin Yanran raised her hand and lightly supported the shark bead on her head.

  The daughter asked: "She is from your Qin family, is she always so stupid?"

  Qin Yanran's expression froze, and she said lightly: "Miss Hong, please be careful with your words."

  Miss Hong curled her lips and went to talk to others.

  Qin Yanran has extraordinary looks and talents, and should have been the focus of today, but Su Xiaoxiao's appearance made everyone's eyes on her.

   Not long after, a palace nurse who seemed to have some qualifications took them to an open-air garden with a serious smile.

  It is surrounded by green plants and flowers, and in the center is a green lawn.

  Desks and futons have already been placed on the lawn.

  Nurse elongated her voice and said, "Please take your seats, ladies and gentlemen."

  Everyone sat down in a seat that was close to their eyes.

  When arrived at Su Xiaoxiao's place, there was only a single desk in the last row.

  Su Xiaoxiao walked over and sat down.

  Everyone looked back at her.

  The little chubby girl is on orders again.

  Qin Yanran sat in the first row.

  Generally speaking, sitting in this position requires a little courage and guts.

Qin Yanran's strength is outstanding, she is not afraid of any assessment, so she dared to take the first place.

   On both sides of her are the daughter of the Leng family and the daughter of the Jing family.

  As soon as Su Xiaoxiao raised her head, the backs of countless jeweled heads shone brightly in the sun, making her dizzy.

  The first assessment is a written test.

  Selecting companions for princesses is not as strict as the imperial examinations. The main test is the basic skills of daughters.

  The test paper is divided into two parts, silent writing and poetry.

  The content of silent books comes from the Four Books and Five Classics, which are different on each test paper, so there is no such thing as plagiarism.

  The theme of the poem is spring, there is no limit to seven or five words, but it must be original.

  Su Xiaoxiao learned a lot of characters from Wei Ting in the countryside, and continued to learn from Fu Langzhong on the way to Capital City. Now basic recognition and reading are no longer a problem.

  After reading the densely packed test papers, she only sighed: It is not easy to be a daughter in ancient times.

   After half an hour, the eunuchs came to collect the papers.

   "How did you do in the exam?" a daughter asked.

   "There are two questions not answered."

   "There are only two questions? I don't know the rest... Miss Wang, I think you have filled them all in."

  The daughter of the Wang family who was named smiled: "I scribbled."

  Su Xiaoxiao hugged her arms, what a familiar scene after the exam.

  The second assessment is painting, which is a peony brought by the eunuchs.

  Su Xiaoxiao’s performance is quite satisfactory. When others look at the paintings, she also looks at the paintings. When others write, she also writes.

  The eunuch invigilating the examination in the corner had noticed her since the last scene, but he was in the front at that time, and was moved to the back in the second scene.

  He saw Su Xiaoxiao writing vigorously, with great momentum, and thought that this girl looked low-key, and she was probably a master.

   Then he couldn't help stretching his neck to look at Su Xiaoxiao's painting.

  Mum ugh!

  He staggered and almost fell!

  Next, temperament and chess were assessed.

  Minance is selected by the daughters of a musical instrument they are good at, and played live, and their performances are recorded by court musicians.

   Results will not be announced on the spot.

  Qin Yanran was taught by Zhang Qin master, and her piano skills improved by leaps and bounds. The song "Flying Immortals Beyond the Sky" amazed the audience.

  The pipa played by the daughter of the Leng family and the zither played by the daughter of the Jing family also attracted the attention of the musicians.

   It's Su Xiaoxiao's turn.

  Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Can I play anything?"

The court nurse nodded: "Yes."

  Su Xiaoxiao thought for a while, and said seriously: "Then, shall I play some cotton for everyone?"

  Everyone: "..."

——

  After the one-day assessment, Qin Yanran was the one with the most outstanding melody. No one could see the results of the written test and painting, and had no way of knowing, but judging from the reputations of the few people in the past, Qin Yanran was in the top three, if not the first.

  Three Dingjia, the daughter of the Leng family should have a place.

   Chess is a game between two daughters, and the lottery is decided.

  Qin Yanran won the daughter of the Leng family.

  Several chess doctors who came to be referees gathered around the table of the two.

  Obviously, the game between the two of them is the most anticipated.

  Su Xiaoxiao's draw was that Miss Hong.

  Miss Hong didn't pay attention to a girl who grew up in the countryside.

  She said haughtily: "Put black first, I will let you hold black!"

   "Oh." Su Xiaoxiao casually picked up a sunspot and landed it in the center of the chessboard.

  Ms. Hong snorted and laughed: "Do you really know how to play chess? You haven't seen what Go looks like, even if you are in the country?"

   The first step is generally to take the astrological position, occupying one of the four corners with higher value, followed by the side.

  How about a grass belly with golden horns and silver edges?

   This girl is in a bad place.

  Honestly speaking, her chess skills are not very superb, and she was worried about whether she would draw a strong opponent before, but she never thought that she would meet this girl.

Ah.

   It's better to smoke a powerful one.

  Playing chess with this kind of person, even if you win, you won't win by force.

  Ms. Hong detested her to death.

  She dropped a son to occupy the corner.

  Hmph, finish her within ten steps!

  After ten steps.

  Su Xiaoxiao rested her chin with one hand.

  Ms. Hong sneered and said, "Why don't you stop? If not, I'll teach you and let you hold on to a few tricks in my hands."

  Su Xiaoxiao sighed: "I'm hungry."

  Compared to the whole day, did not eat anything.

Don't all these daughters need to eat?

  She was so hungry that she panicked.

  Su Xiaoxiao didn't care so much anymore, took out a piece of snack from her purse, and ate it leisurely.

  Ms. Hong said coldly: "Hey! Are you here to play chess or to eat? Can you be more serious! If you do this again, you just abstain!"

  Su Xiaoxiao tapped the chessboard with his other hand.

   Miss Hong looked down and was taken aback.

   She was almost winning just now, why... let this girl break through all of a sudden?

   "You...how did you... get here?"

  Su Xiaoxiao said: "Can't you go down here? Then I'll change the place."

   "Don't regret the game!" said the eunuch on the side.

   "Oh." Su Xiaoxiao put the chess piece back again.

  Miss Hong cast a sidelong glance at Su Xiaoxiao.

   Not even knowing the rules of chess, it's probably a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse.

  The two continue to play chess.

   Every time Ms. Hong saw that she was about to win, Su Xiaoxiao was able to break through again.

   More and more chess games were decided, and in the end only her table was left, the table with Leng's daughter and Qin Yanran.

  It is normal for those two to be unable to tell the winner, after all, both of them are chess masters.

   But what she faced was a girl who grew up in the countryside!

   "Hey, why hasn't Ms. Hong finished downloading?"

   "She couldn't even beat a little village girl, could she? I heard that she was poor at chess, but I didn't believe it—"

   "Shhh, keep your voice down, she is a serious daughter of the Qin family, it's not surprising that Miss Hong won..."

   Everyone's whispered sarcasm fell into Ms. Hong's ears word for word.

  She was so angry that she pointed to Su Xiaoxiao's nose and said, "You foul!"

  Su Xiaoxiao looked bewildered: "What rule did I commit?"

  Miss Hong said: "You eat!"

  Su Xiaoxiao looked at the invigilating eunuch aside: "Is there a rule not to eat?"

  Eunuch: "Uh...no."

   Mainly because never thought that anyone would be able to eat it——

   On the other side, Qin Yanran and the daughter of the Leng family decided the winner.

  Qin Yanran narrowly defeated Banmu.

The two stood up and bowed to each other.

   Only Miss Hong and Su Xiaoxiao are left.

  Ms. Hong was so anxious that she broke out in a cold sweat.

  Because she belatedly discovered that she seemed to be winning and winning all the way, but she was actually eaten to death.

How could this be?

   Doesn't this girl know how to play chess?

  Why still—

  Su Xiaoxiao held up the sunspots and carefully looked for a place on the chessboard.

  Ms. Hong stared at her own flaws, sweating coldly.

   Don't go down there, don't go down there...

  Su Xiaoxiao Heizi paused above.

   Miss Hong almost fainted.

"here!"

  Su Xiaoxiao fell to the side.

  Miss Hong instantly withered, and a white piece locked her position!

   "Bai Zi, win."

  Ms. Hong let out a long breath.

   At this point, the last round of assessment is over.

  The chess doctors left one by one.

  They mainly went to watch the chess game between Qin Yanran and the daughter of the Leng family just now, and paid little attention to other chess games, especially the game between Su Xiaoxiao and Miss Hong.

  When passing by the chess game of the two, a chess doctor casually glanced at it.

   When it was time to take a second look, the eunuch had already collected the chessboard.

   "What's wrong?" asked the accompanying companion.

   Doctor Chess said: "Ah, just now... I seem to have seen a remarkable chess game."

  The companion asked the eunuch, "Who was playing chess here just now?"

  The eunuch replied: "Miss Hong and Miss Su?"

  The companion asked: "Which Miss Su?"

  The eunuch said: "The daughter of the protector of the country who grew up among the people, has not worshiped the ancestors yet, and uses the name of the country."

  The companion looked at Dr. Chess and said with a smile, "Did you read it wrong? I've never heard that Ms. Hong is very good at chess."

  Not to mention the daughter from the countryside.

Dr. Qi nodded: "Maybe."

   Such a chess game, even he can't guarantee to play it.

   This chapter is a bit fat
