How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

After entering the room, the two sisters hurriedly closed the door and did not notice that they were being stared at by Sheng Yiren.

They carefully looked around the room and saw a very ordinary-looking woman inside, wearing a coarse linen shirt that only common people would wear. She also looked nervous. When she saw the two people come in, she immediately stood up and stammered, "Who are you?"

The younger sister grabbed her elder sister's sleeves, and the elder sister clenched her fists slightly. Seeing that the other party was also a woman, she breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "The buyer."

After hearing the correct answer, the woman breathed a sigh of relief. She picked up the patched package on the bed, took out a tightly sealed envelope and handed it to the sister, "This is the cargo."

Just as my sister was about to take it, the stuttering woman suddenly withdrew her hand and said, "Pay first."

The elder sister had no choice but to push her younger sister beside her and said, "Give her the silver."

The younger sister then opened her tightly clenched hands, and inside was a small piece of silver, soaked with sweat. "Here you go..."

The stuttering woman took the change and breathed a sigh of relief. She handed the envelope to her sister and said, "The goods are all sold out. You, you can't stay."

"I got it." The elder sister hid the envelope carefully, then took her younger sister's hand, opened the door of the room and walked out.

Sheng Yiren, who was squatting by the window and eavesdropping, stood up immediately, pretending to be just passing by. The sister glanced at her and was stunned for a moment by her stunning appearance. Sheng Yiren immediately showed a friendly smile, "Excuse me, do you know where the toilet is in the temple?"

The two sisters looked at her stupidly, and it took them a long while to react, "Okay, it seems to be at the innermost part."

"Thank you." Sheng Yiren nodded and walked inside leisurely.

Behind him, the sound of two sisters talking in low voices could be heard.

"Sister, such a beautiful and gentle elder sister, can she also poop?"

"…Everyone has to poop, don't ask such stupid questions."

Sheng Yiren: ...

She turned to look at the two sisters, rubbing her chin lightly with her thumb and index finger.

Just now she seemed to hear two people saying that they were buyers. What kind of goods were they that needed to be bought secretly in the temple?

I always feel that these are not ordinary goods, otherwise why would the two sisters be so nervous? And the stuttering woman in the house is also very suspicious.

Moreover, how could these young girls, who were wearing coarse linen clothes and looked very poor, afford ordinary goods?

Sheng Yiren narrowed her eyes, looked at the room, then looked at the two sisters who were getting farther and farther away, and didn't know where to go for a moment.

One can find the source of goods, and the other can find the buyer, but she also promised Shen Yuan to go to the Peach Blossom Banquet to help, and this is the best time to promote the Imperial College. If she misses it, it will be troublesome to persuade those noble ladies to go to school...

Rubbing her brows, Sheng Yiren finally decided to go to the Peach Blossom Banquet first.

After all, she had just made a wild guess that there was something strange about this cargo transaction. Perhaps the truth was not as strange as she had imagined. She should get down to business first.

Anyway, she has memorized the voices and appearances of these three people, so the worst that can happen is that she will just spend more time finding them.

Thinking of this, she returned the way she had come and walked towards the ancient pavilion where the female guests were.

Your Highness has probably been waiting for a long time. I wonder if the Second Prince, who has never been interested in women, would feel uncomfortable staying alone in the ancient pavilion to deal with so many women, or if he would blush and feel shy, hehehe~

……

No more laughing.

Seeing Xie Chengze holding up his teacup and shouting excitedly, "Women can hold up half the sky", and the noble ladies eager to enter the Imperial College to study and achieve success and leave their names in history, Sheng Yiren felt as if the sky above her head had collapsed.

She actually forgot that her Second Prince was the best at "bewitching" people and making big promises for them!

Putting him next to the female guests was like putting a vicious dog that had been hungry for a month into a pile of meat. How could he resist tricking these noble ladies into studying at the Imperial Academy? !

But this should have been her mission!

How should she explain this to Shen Yuan? And if she had known this, she would have investigated the strange transaction!

Cheng Wuxue immediately stood up when he saw Sheng Yiren approaching from the corner of his eye. "Sheng Yiren, why are you here just now?"

Hearing this, all the noble ladies turned around and looked at Sheng Yiren who had arrived late.

"Yes, why are you here so late? I have benefited a lot from listening to this girl's speech just now!"

"You would never have thought that this girl had just solved the exam question about the flood in Yizhou that countless students had racked their brains to figure out. I guess if we spread the word, those young masters would definitely flock to us to buy the answer."

"No, no, buying and selling answers to exam questions triggers the law, we can't touch this reverse scale." A noble lady quickly shook her head in disagreement.

"If we can't buy and sell, then I'll teach you for free." Another noble lady said mischievously, "Let me have a taste of what it's like to be a teacher to the gentlemen in advance~"

"Hahaha, what a good idea!"

The noble ladies were laughing and playing, Sheng Yiren quietly sat down next to Xie Chengze and said to him, "You are really great... I am just a little late."

He bribed all the noble ladies.

Xie Chengze coughed twice and said embarrassedly, "It was just a spur of the moment, just a spur of the moment."

Sheng Yiren secretly rolled her eyes. Perhaps only the Second Prince could rely on his perfect skills in making empty promises and be so successful in deceiving people even if it was just a spur of the moment move.

Seriously, is it really true that her Highness cannot ascend the throne?

Just as Sheng Yiren was feeling regretful, a servant came over quickly and said, "Ladies, the male guests have sent us the first round of poems."

The Peach Blossom Banquet is divided into three stages: acquaintance, meeting and knowing each other. In the acquaintance stage, the male guests will send a test question called "poetry", and the female guests will write poems on paper and send them to the male guests to appreciate their literary talent and calligraphy.

The winner can come up with topics for the male guests, and the male guests will also write poems in response. If the woman has a favorite choice and has competitors, they can compete for the right to meet him, and the same applies to the male guests.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for the three to meet at the Peach Blossom Banquet.

This time, the title of the poem submitted by the male guest was "Climbing the High Place".

In the past, poems were usually written with "emotions" and "things" as the subject, but this year is more interesting as the main theme is "climbing high". The ladies have just experienced the cleansing of their values, and now facing the word "climbing high", they all have countless feelings that they want to express. They all asked their servants to fetch pens and ink, and started to ponder.

Even Sheng Yiren and Cheng Wuxue had a more serious look on their faces.

Xie Chengze was a pure science student who could not write poetry but could only revise it. He did not want to be chosen to meet the person, so he simply wrote a sour poem with a wrong title in an attempt to get away with it.

When he finished writing, Sheng Yiren leaned over and wanted to take a look.

Xie Chengze quickly covered the paper and said, "You can't look at it!"

"What's wrong? Are you afraid of being embarrassed?" Sheng Yiren showed a wicked smile, "Your handwriting is too ugly, do you want me to write a new one for you? Otherwise it will be so abrupt!"

Xie Chengze thought so too. The crooked title was already awkward enough. What if he saw his ugly handwriting again...

Shen Yuan will laugh at you.

So he let go of her hand and said, "Then please help me rewrite it."

Sheng Yiren quickly took the paper, fearing that Xie Chengze would regret it. She quickly scanned the contents on it, and then the corner of her mouth twitched.

Is this a poem that can be written by a human?
