"My lord, I think that sugar cane and rubber trees are not suitable for the exam. It's unfair. These two things have yet to be spread. Except for the children of a few important ministers … the other students are all commoners. How would they know about these things? "Wei Ci voted against it.
The information channels were not equal. It was obviously unfair to the students who came from ordinary backgrounds to use these two questions as the exam questions.
Whether it was sugar cane or rubber trees, they belonged to unconventional topics that very few people knew about.
Even Feng Jin, who was unprepared, might not be able to answer the exam questions, let alone a group of students.
His lord's exam questions were not only beyond the syllabus, but they were also fatal.
Jiang Pengji could not help but laugh. "Although Zixiao's considerations are thorough, he's too cautious. I used this as the exam questions. Naturally, I won't let those kids have the possibility of cheating. The exam questions can briefly mention the functions of sugar cane and rubber trees, as well as their future applications. They can reveal key information, and the students can analyze and judge based on this information. I'm very curious. If I ask the students about the benefits of promoting these two things, can they dig deeper into the meaning and understand my intentions? "
If the exam was like that, Feng Yi and the others would lose their advantage because Jiang Pengji had forcefully leveled the information.
Jiang Pengji said, "The graduation exam is not difficult for these students. There won't be the phenomenon of failing the exam and repeating a year, but I don't need talents who only know how to read from the book."
The exam system of the Golden Scale Academy was quite strict. Jiang Pengji had seen the students' past performance. Graduation was definitely not a problem.
Wei Ci thought for a while. "My lord is right, but I still have something to say."
"Say it. What can't you say directly between us?"
Wei Ci said hesitantly, "It's a waste to give two questions at once. Why don't you give one and leave one?"
"Leave one? Why leave it? "
"My lord, have you forgotten? Although the Academy's graduation examination is important, it is only a minor examination within the Academy. The major examination for your selection of scholars is still to come. "Wei Ci reminded her. She had asked two important questions at once. What would the Imperial Examination test be about?
Jiang Pengji said with a smile, "I would have forgotten if you didn't mention it. I'll give one of the questions and leave the other one for later."
The two joked and decided on a major question that the students would never forget. Many years later, there were still many students who dreamed that they were sitting in the examination hall for their graduation exams. That was not scary. What was scary was the last question. It was the nightmare of nightmares.
According to the original plan, the graduation examination would be held at the end of the first month after the New Year, but due to insufficient preparations, it could only be delayed by a month.
The group of students did not feel relieved. Instead, they became even more anxious.
As the time for the assessment approached, everyone felt as if they were about to be executed.
The nervous atmosphere of the senior students also infected the students of the other years, and they looked at their seniors with sympathy.
The students, who felt a sense of crisis, exploded with unprecedented enthusiasm for learning.
Although it was still a long time before their assessment, they had to make ample preparations so that they wouldn't be flustered in the future.
There were also students who applied to participate in the graduation assessment together with the senior students, but their results would not be included in the final ranking.
Han Yu's eldest son, Han Run, was one of them.
He wanted to see how far he was from the senior students so that he could accumulate experience for the graduation exam in a few years.
On this day, Han Yu was at home on a break. He was giving special attention to his eldest son, helping him find out what he missed out. His illegitimate son and daughter were studying hard at the desk not far away. The youngest son, Han Chi, was also sitting, shaking his head while memorizing the beginner's books. At this time, an "uninvited guest" came to the house.
Han Run was hard at work when he caught a glimpse of a silhouette from the corner of his eye.
"Father, the housekeeper is here."
Han Run thought the old housekeeper had something important to report, so he didn't dare to delay. Han Yu frowned and turned to ask.
"What's the matter?"
The old housekeeper looked embarrassed. "Master, there is a guest visiting."
"Who is it? Why didn't you give me a visiting card? "
It was rare for Han Yu to have a day off. He declined many invitations from his friends and specially stayed at home to help with the children's homework.
He didn't want to see an uninvited guest without a visiting card.
The old housekeeper's eyes fell on Han Run and the young Han Chi. He wanted to say something but stopped.
Han Yu understood. The "uninvited guest" who was related to the two sons seemed to be the one from Shangyang County.
Who was it?
Of course it was Madame Tao, who had divorced Han Yu a few years ago.
For the sake of the two sons, Han Yu didn't get angry. He asked calmly, "What is she doing here?"
Madame Tao's maiden family was destroyed by the lord. Madame Tao escaped as a married daughter. Later, her eldest son, Han Run, settled her in a private house in Shangyang County.
Since the two of them divorced, Han Yu hadn't paid attention to Madame Tao's recent situation. He didn't understand the purpose of her visit.
The old housekeeper said, "I heard that … she seems to be pregnant. She specially came to see you two Langjuns."
Han Yu was stunned for a moment before he realized that Madame Tao was going to remarry.
"Then I'll have to congratulate her."
Han Yu's reaction was still calm when he heard that his ex-wife was going to remarry.
If they divorced, they wouldn't be husband and wife anymore. They weren't very old, so it was normal for them to have a second love.
Han Yu didn't have any opinion on his ex-wife remarrying.
Han Run, who was beside him, bit his lower lip. His hand that was holding the brush trembled slightly. Han Yu could accept it without any grudge, but he couldn't.
After several years of separation, the former husband and wife didn't have the sharp and tit-for-tat attitude they used to have.
Madame Tao looked at Han Yu who was sitting upright, and a trace of absent-mindedness flashed in her eyes. She had been depressed all these years and looked like she had aged more than ten years. Han Yu, on the other hand, did not show any signs of aging. His temperament had become more and more condensed, as if he was the essence that had been accumulated over the years. People could not help but sigh at the favoritism of God.
If she had not been so stubborn in the past, perhaps she would still be the high and mighty Madam Han now.
Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in the world. Madam Tao would not change her choice even if she had another chance.
Between her husband, her son and her family, she would always choose the latter.
Of course, Madame Tao didn't come here today to renew her relationship with her ex-husband.
She knew Han Yu's temperament. If he chose to give up, he wouldn't be reluctant to leave. He wouldn't look back. She wouldn't ask for trouble.
The two of them calmly exchanged greetings. Madame Tao was concerned about the studies of her eldest son, Han Run, and the health of her youngest son.
Han Yu answered all of them.
Han Yu was a smart man, and Madame Tao was not good at hiding her intentions. Han Yu knew that Madame Tao was here for something.
He pretended not to know. Seeing that time passed, Madame Tao was a little anxious before the topic got to the point.
She had no choice but to state the purpose of this trip, but it was a little tactful.
But —
No matter how tactful she was, she couldn't change the purpose of probing the graduation exam.
Han Yu frowned slightly and pursed his lips without saying a word. His eldest son, Han Run, said, "Mother, the exam questions are confidential. I heard that the exam question bank was made by several great scholars in secret, and the exam questions were selected by Master Lanting. No one knows the content of the exam. How did father know?"
