Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 157: Choose one between the top scorer and the runner-up?

Novels and TV shows say that in ancient times it was not so bad for women to dress up as men and go to the battlefield. As long as they were careful and not afraid of getting dirty, it was possible to hide their identity in the barracks. After all, soldiers on the battlefield were thinking about how to survive every day, and no one cared whether they took a bath or not.

But it is sheer nonsense for a woman to dress up as a man to take the imperial examination and win the top spot. All students need to undergo a "body check" before taking the examination, and this "body check" is not the casual body search we usually see on TV.

In order to ensure the fairness of the exam and prevent cheating, candidates need to undergo a full body examination before entering the examination room, including taking off all clothes for a "naked examination". Remember, it is a "naked examination".

In this case, which girl wouldn't tell you that there are so many people in the Imperial Academy, if one person is blind, can everyone be blind? Even if she is blind, I don't believe that any girl would be willing to be naked in front of those people, so whether before or after coming to the Academy, she never thought about taking the imperial examination.

Moreover, she has self-knowledge. She has traveled through time, not changed her brain. Her grades are not outstanding even in modern times, let alone in ancient times.

In modern times, there is an examination every year. She has never been the provincial top scholar, city top scholar, or school top scholar, not to mention the national top scholar who was produced only once every three years in ancient times.

In ancient times, the one who could pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar was definitely the incarnation of Wenquxing. In modern times, there are still multiple-choice questions that can help you rely on luck, but in ancient times, it was real talent.

So she just wanted to visit and see, without any psychological pressure, just like after being admitted to university, when she saw her juniors, she could easily say: "Keep going!"

Two words: easy!

Su Shiche is the darling of the family. With his father and brother around, as long as he doesn't do anything extremely evil, he will be rich and prosperous for the rest of his life.

Qian Jinbao decided to work harder in the future. Seeing these senior brothers, he felt that he was not working hard enough and was too lazy. He wanted to take part in the imperial examinations and become an official. He wanted to support his sisters and study hard in the future.

These senior brothers work so hard, he wants to emulate them in the future and pass the imperial examination to make his father happy.

After the three of them came out, they did not go back immediately. There was a plum forest behind the upper house. It would be fine if it was far away at ordinary times, but now that they were here, they might as well pick some plum blossoms. Putting them in the house would be a beautiful scenery, right?

"Jinbao, don't worry. Didn't the teacher praise you before? You should write well now. When we go to Shangshe, I will bring you the annotated articles made by my brother when he took the imperial examination. My brother passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar in his twenties. He was the youngest top scholar in the history of Daning. Many people wanted to read his annotations but couldn't. When the time comes, I will steal them for you. You will definitely pass the exam after reading his annotations." Su Shiche said confidently.

After seeing the status of these senior brothers, Su Shiche was full of confidence in his brother who was the top scorer. These senior brothers didn't even know if they could pass the exam, but they were already in this state, while his brother had passed the exam and was still elegant and graceful, and had never been so embarrassed. He was really amazing.

"And me, although my brother was not the top scholar, he was also a Jinshi. I will go back and ask him, and you can also take a look at my brother's annotations." Shu Xiaoxiao also agreed.

These annotations of the top scholar or Jinshi are like the notes of a top student and are very popular in the examination room. Nowadays, if you want some notes, you can search online and find not only the notes of the top student but also the notes of the god of study, and there are all kinds of information.

Those articles with annotations here are not available to ordinary people without close connections, and their third brother can't use them either. She would go back and ask her eldest brother to lend them to Jinbao to take a look. It should be fine.

"And you, those annotations are the hard work of our brother, don't steal them at will, talk to your brother, as a brother, how can I not give them to my younger brother?"

Shu Xiaoxiao said, if it were anything else, it would be fine, but the notes, like the notes from senior high school, even if you have passed the exam, you can't bear to throw them away!

Those are not just notes, but also evidence of her experience in the college entrance examination, and our hard work. When I saw her high school notes when she graduated from college, I was deeply moved. You can borrow them, but if you give them to someone else, I will definitely not be willing to give them away, okay?

Su Shiche thought of how his brother cherished the books, and it seemed a bit inappropriate for him to take them away secretly: "Okay, I know, I will talk to my brother, Jinbao, don't worry, my brother loves me the most, and I will definitely be able to borrow the annotations."

"Okay, thank you. No matter whether you can borrow it or not, I am very grateful. We will be brothers from now on. Just tell me if you have any questions and I will do my best to help you." Qian Jinbao said excitedly. Articles like this one with annotations by top scholar or Jinshi are rare in the market and cannot be bought with money.

Those who can pass the imperial examination have already made a class leap and pay more attention to their own reputation. It is impossible for them to sell their books, so most of them are lent out as a favor. The annotations above are the insights of the senior brothers who have passed the examination. It will be of great help to the candidates in the imperial examination if they refer to them.

With his status, no matter how much money he spent, he couldn't buy it! Now Shu Xiaoxiao and Su Shiche directly found a top scholar and a Jinshi. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's pie in the sky, so Qian Jinbao said that he would do anything without any water.

As for not being able to borrow them, these two are his brother's treasured possessions, so the possibility of not being able to borrow them is very low. And even if he can't borrow them, he is very grateful for their kindness.

"Brothers, this is all trivial. Among us, Shu Lao San is obviously going to take part in the martial arts exam. Ye Xiao and I are not going to take the exam. This information is most suitable for you. You should take the exam well and strive to get the top prize."

Shu Xiaoxiao twitched her lips: "Do you think the top scholar is a piece of cake? You can get it easily. Don't feel too much pressure to get a treasure. Just get the second place."

Qian Jinbao:......

I don't even dare to take the information you two are talking about. What kind of family is this? Sometimes it's the top scorer, sometimes it's the second.

Shu Xiaoxiao: "Ahem, don't be too stressed. As long as you work hard, we believe you will be able to pass. Let's go to Merlin first. We came out at about the same time, so let's go directly through the small path."

"I know a small path. Just go over a small slope and you can enter Merlin from the back, at least halfway."

Su Shiche: "Then let's take the small path. The small hill won't be a problem. Let's go." As he said that, he took the lead and walked forward.

Shu Xiaoxiao: "Ahem, come back."

Su Shiche: "What's wrong?"

Shu Xiaoxiao: "........We went the wrong way."

Su Shiche:........

"I did it on purpose!" he said and turned back.

Qian Jinbao: “Haha…”

........

"Slow down, just climb this small slope and you'll be there." Shu Xiaoxiao happily pointed to the small slope in front of her that was half a person's height.

This path is quite hidden and was discovered by the explorer before the treasure hunt. Although the road is rough, it does save a lot of time.

In front of the spirited young man, this half-person-high slope was not even a slope. He jumped down without hesitation.

The slope here is slightly steep, so it is no problem to climb up slowly, but there is still snow on the slope. The three of them lifted their cloaks and climbed up carefully.

"Miss Chen is going to Yunguang Temple the day after tomorrow? Are you sure?"

"Confirmed, Master Chen has received the letter."
