Lin Wanrong's forehead was sweating a little. He was a talented student from Peking University, but he majored in science. He was a serious science genius, so it was easy for him to solve a few complicated calculus problems. It was not a problem for him to read and memorize a few ancient poems. However, it was really difficult for him to write the Three Character Classic from memory.
From the looks of it, in this world, other than memorizing a few poems, he basically belonged to the "blind" category. At this moment, Lin Wanrong was deeply grateful to his father, who was a primary school language teacher. If it wasn't for him forcing him to memorize some Tang and Song poems since he was young, he was afraid that he would have really become illiterate in this world.
It's not that I don't understand, it's that this world is changing too fast. Lin Wanrong sighed in his heart as he picked up the brush. He had only practiced writing with a brush when he was in cram school before he was ten years old. He could only remember the first twelve words of the Three Character Classic.
Lin Wanrong had secretly dug up Old Wei's ancestral grave more than ten times. Now that he had no other choice, he could only bite the bullet and do it.
Fortunately, he was very thick-skinned and never had stage fright. He picked up the brush and wrote twelve words on the Xuan paper, "At the beginning of man, his nature is good. His nature is similar, but his practice is different." Then, he threw the brush lightly with his right hand, and the brush fell into the inkstone.
Under his agitation, the strokes of these few words were rough and crooked. Looking at it alone, he could barely make out what the words were. But when he looked at the few words together, although it was not necessarily outstanding, it still had a bit of unrestrained flavor.
"I don't remember the rest." Lin Wanrong looked at that person and said without a blush.
At the end of the day, there were at least eighty if not a hundred servants who came for the interview. They had never seen someone like Lin Wanrong who had a "bold and unconstrained" temperament.
That servant saw his arrogant look and was very displeased, so he said loudly, "You have to write with care, didn't anyone teach you? This is a top-notch insignia ink inkstone, you can't afford to pay for it if it's damaged. "
Lin Wanrong didn't care about the Insignia ink or Duan inkstone at all. Seeing that this servant was using his connections to intimidate others, Lin Wanrong snorted and said, "Just now, Deputy Steward Pang just asked me to come in for an interview. He didn't say anything about the Insignia ink or Duan inkstone. I have learned a lot from you, brother."
When the servant heard Assistant Housekeeper Pang's name, his expression immediately changed. He squeezed out a smile and said, "Brother, were you recommended by Assistant Housekeeper Pang?"
I was introduced by money, Lin Wanrong snickered as he thought to himself. Since the man surnamed Pang accepted my money, I must squeeze out all of his remaining value.
"Yes, I'm on good terms with Assistant Butler Pang. But when he came in, he specifically told you to adhere to the principle of openness and fairness, and not to make any special treatment. " Lin Wanrong seized the opportunity and decided to give Deputy Butler Pang some face. Anyway, that guy wouldn't dare to say anything.
"That's natural, that's natural." The recruitment servant smiled and handed the nameplate back to Lin Wanrong and said, "Childe Lin, congratulations, you have passed the first round." Then he pointed to the two dumbfounded guys next to him and said, "You are eliminated."
He only wrote twelve words. How could he pass like that? Lin Wanrong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He knew that this guy gave Assistant Housekeeper Pang some face, so he didn't thank him and took the nameplate into the second room.
The two guys who were eliminated cried and said, "It's not fair, it's not fair. Why can he pass but we can't?"
The recruitment servant sneered and said, "Who are you and who are he? Why don't you think about it? Can you even write these few words? "
He threw the piece of paper that Lin Wanrong had written on to the two fellows. Although there were only twelve words on the paper and they were crooked, compared to these servants who came from poor families, it was already considered outstanding. The two who had been eliminated didn't even reach eight characters when they combined their names.
Lin Wanrong didn't care whether they objected or not. The winner was king and the loser was a bandit. Passing was the hard truth. After a few steps, he came to the second room. Similarly, there were a few colleagues holding a piece of paper and thinking hard. The few of them were frowning as if water was going to come out.
An examiner took Lin Wanrong's nameplate and then handed an open wooden box to Lin Wanrong. He said expressionlessly, "Pick a question from inside."
"What question is this?" Lin Wanrong wasn't as muddle-headed as the other candidates. He wanted to figure out the situation first.
"I told you to do it, so do it. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" This servant seemed to have a bad sex life last night, so he was quite angry.
"Question and answer. You can only pass the next round if you answer it correctly." A servant candidate who was so worried that his hair was about to fall off answered subconsciously when he heard Lin Wanrong's question.
So that's how it was. Lin Wanrong understood. This was a question and answer that tested the intelligence of the servants.
He took out a folded piece of paper from the wooden box and unfolded it. There were only two sentences written on it, "A person crossing a single-log bridge. There were wolves in front and tigers behind. This person quickly crossed. May I ask, how did he cross? "
Damn, the people of this world also liked to play mind games? Lin Wanrong laughed in his heart, but he deliberately pretended to think for a while before answering, "Could it be that he fainted?"
"Correct!" The servant examiner looked at him and said. This kid must have seen this question somewhere before. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to answer it so quickly. His luck was really not bad.
"Objection, objection!" Just as the servant examiner was about to announce that Lin Wanrong had advanced to the next round, he heard another servant shouting loudly. There were a total of three candidates in this room. Other than Lin Wanrong, the other was the one who answered Lin Wanrong's question just now, and the last one was this brother who was shouting loudly.
"What are you objecting to?" The servant examiner said angrily, "Is there anything here that you object to?"
That servant saw that he was about to be eliminated if he couldn't answer the question. He wanted to make a final struggle and hurriedly said, "What I object to is, why did you give him such an easy question and give me such a difficult one? As long as he can answer my question correctly, even if I am eliminated, I will be convinced. "
The servant examiner shouted, "These questions were randomly selected by you. Are you suspecting that this examiner is cheating?"
"It's fine, it's fine." Lin Wanrong said with a smile, "But I don't know what question this brother has in his hand. Let me guess."
That guy picked up the piece of paper in his hand and read it loudly, "Medium rare beef meets medium rare beef, why don't they greet each other?"
"Because they aren't familiar, brother." Lin Wanrong smiled helplessly. This kind of small question, did he still need to use his brain to think?
Oh, then the person who was not convinced could no longer say anything. Could it be that he was really too stupid? He suffered a huge blow and no longer had the face to continue staying. He dejectedly left. The remaining servant examiner was also full of admiration for Lin Wanrong.
Lin Wanrong easily passed two rounds in a row. He laughed in his heart. This Xiao Family's servant selection really liked to show off. Not only was he literate, but he also had a brain teaser. Could it be that they wanted to train a servant to be a genius?
