The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

Xie Tingwen bowed respectfully and lit three incense sticks on the altar. After a complicated ceremony, Dong Ping came over in a hurry.

"Thank you, sir! We can unveil the plaque now."

"Brother Naijian! Please come with me!" Xie Tingwen gestured with his hand and pulled Dong Pingchang to the plaque.

After the two looked at each other, they simultaneously pulled down the red silk on the plaque. Compared to the golden signs of ordinary businesses, the font of the private school was green.

After being illuminated by the sun, it showed a vibrant vitality, brightly sweeping towards everyone present. After waiting for everyone to adapt to the reflection of the sun, the name on the plaque was revealed.

"Laigu County School" Everyone was amazed.

Xie Tingwen nodded in satisfaction and waved to Uncle Qin behind him. Uncle Qin understood and led two yamen runners, carrying two door signs with red silk.

"The county school opens today, and I cannot afford a decent gift, so I'll give this pair of door greeting cards to Brother Naijian." As Xie Tingwen spoke, he raised his hand and the bailiff hung up the door greeting cards.

"Sir! How can this be allowed? Naijian is probably unworthy of it!"

"If you can train a few successful candidates for Laigu County, I will not be ashamed of the honor."

Xie Tingwen laughed loudly and said, "Brother Naijian! Please!"

Dong Pingchang stroked his hands slightly after hearing this, and then looked at the two people beside him and said, "Master Xie and Master Cao will open the door for me."

Xie Ningzhi was very happy and accepted the task without hesitation. He stood at the door and gave Cao Yue a look.

Cao Yue naturally understood what he meant. She didn't want to be the focus of the whole place, so she walked to another door to greet him.

As the two pieces of red silk were peeled off, a meaningful door greeting instantly came into view of everyone.

The first line reads: "The good news of admission is soaked with the sweat of the students."

The second line goes: "The feast begins and the deer cry, stirring up my deep love for my teacher."

There were some well-educated students present, and after seeing this door greeting, they had thousands of thoughts in their minds.

Dong Pingchang hurriedly stroked his hand and said, "Thank you very much for your kindness, sir. This door welcome will surely be able to educate all the students."

"It's just a welcome, it can't be called 'education'." Xie Tingwen waved his hand and replied nonchalantly.

Xie Shuting stepped forward, bowed and said, "The county school starts classes today. I am not talented enough, so I hand-wrote a copy of the calligraphy and gave it to Mr. Dong."

As soon as Xie Shuting finished speaking, Lian Xi quickly took out a scroll from the box and led Lian Qiao beside him to unfold the scroll.

Everyone just took a look and couldn't help but gasp, looking at Xie Shuting with strange expressions.

It was nothing else but the font used to write Shu Ting was the most difficult to write in the world, the Slender Gold font. What was more crucial was that the strokes were strong and vigorous, clearly the work of a master.

Dong Pingchang walked forward with a look of shock, stroked the article on the scroll, and said aloud: "This brushstroke is so powerful, it can't be written without thirty-four years of practice."

Dong Pingchang suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly turned around and bowed his head, saying, "Miss Xie! What I said just now was a bit presumptuous, please don't blame me, Miss Xie."

"It's okay! It's just a gift." Xie Shuting replied nonchalantly.

Dong Pingchang smiled slightly awkwardly, and then looked at the calligraphy again. Looking at the two words "Hongru" in the scroll, he felt a mixture of emotions.

A group of students on the periphery were also quite puzzled and asked loudly: "Miss Xie! What is the meaning of the word 'Hongru' you chose?"

Xie Shuting turned around and bowed to the person who asked the question, saying, "It has no special meaning. I just hope that the students of the county school can have lofty ambitions and pass on Confucian classics."

Xie Shuting's words instantly raised the tone to an unknown level. In addition to the students who looked at each other in bewilderment, even Xie Tingwen couldn't help but frown.

After Xie Tingwen and Xie Shuting presented their gifts, other friends who were friends with each other also presented their gifts one by one.

Among the hundreds of besieged civilians, merchants accounted for the majority. It seemed as if they had made an agreement to give away the four treasures of the study in wholesale quantities.

It took half an hour to receive the gifts. After the last person gave his gift, the originally lively scene became quiet.

Dong Pingchang walked slowly forward and bowed towards the incense table, then saw two servants carrying the incense table into the private school.

Dong Pingchang looked at the people's expectations, stroked his hand and said, "Thank you, sir! Please preside over the county school entrance examination."

"Then I am no less capable than you." Xie Tingwen walked into the private school while talking and laughing.

Xie Ningzhi and Cao Yue looked at each other and followed closely. The rest of the children were pushed by their parents to go to the school.

For a while, the entrance of the private school was crowded with people, but fortunately, thanks to the maintenance of the yamen runners, the situation did not get out of control.

Xie Shuting stood at the door and thought for a while, and found that there were as many as seventy or eighty people seeking to study, and there were even people rushing over from a distance.

Dong Pingchang looked at everything in front of him, moved his steps with some worry, and leaned towards Xie Shuting and said, "Miss Xie! There are so many people, and there are only three teachers in the private school. I'm afraid it's not enough!"

"Mr. Dong, please be patient! We will consider it after father finishes the exam." Xie Shuting comforted him slightly.

She naturally knew that relying on three teachers was not enough. After all, they were just to enlighten the students. If it was really for the imperial examination, relying on the foundation of Laigu County would not be enough.

The people outside the gate were waiting anxiously, but Xie Tingwen in the courtyard was sitting firmly in the main seat. Hundreds of students were all sitting in the courtyard, picking up their pens and starting to answer the questions.

Moreover, the test paper is also quite interesting. It is not a complicated dictation of classics, history, and miscellaneous works, but a simple copying.

Xie Ningzhi and Cao Yue were holding two small red and black flags in their hands respectively, walking casually among the candidates.

From time to time, the two men would stick the flags in their hands in front of the desks of the students taking the exams, causing all the students to look terrified and not understanding the two gentlemen's intentions at all.

Seeing that the two had finished planting their flags, Xie Tingwen glanced at everyone and said loudly, "You can stop writing now."

Upon hearing this, the candidates were either dejected or indignant. They simply did not understand the point of this exam.

"Those with black flags on the table can step aside, and those with red flags can sit still." Xie Tingwen said slowly.

Although the eliminated students were a little disappointed, they had no choice but to follow the instructions, leave the examination room, and stand under the courtyard wall.

Xie Tingwen glanced at the remaining forty people, feeling quite helpless, and said, "The rest of you, each of you should recite three passages from the Three Character Classic. The content is not limited. You can start writing now."

As soon as Xie Tingwen finished speaking, the rest of the students began to write furiously. Sometimes someone would scratch their head, and sometimes someone would close their eyes and start to think.

Xie Ningzhi and Cao Yue changed to yellow flags this time and moved among the students, glancing at their answers.
