Soon, someone came forward and placed four sets of tables and chairs in the garden, and all the paper and pens needed for the exam were placed on the tables in order.
"Okay, go and sit down. The exam will start soon. Just sit down from left to right in the order I called your names just now." Xiao Zongqi said.
After the four people were seated, another person came up with a clock and placed it right in front of them to ensure that all four could see it.
"Are you ready?" Everything is ready, Xiao Zongqi finally confirmed.
"Okay." The four of them answered in unison.
"Okay! The exam officially begins!" With Xiao Zongqi's order, the first competition of the day officially kicked off.
As time passed, everyone watching held their breath, fearing that they might accidentally make some noise and disturb the four people taking the exam.
Xiao Zongqi was very satisfied when he saw that the four people were answering the questions seriously without being disturbed by the outside world.
You have to be focused when doing scientific research, otherwise you won’t be able to produce anything.
When Shen Huaiyu got the test paper, he first glanced through it and found that the questions were very difficult, at least ordinary high school students would definitely not be able to answer them.
Calming down, Shen Huaiyu began to answer the questions.
The three people around him also found the test paper difficult, but they did not dare to waste time. After all, there was only one hour, so they started answering the questions quickly.
Everyone else started writing, but Shen Huaiyu was still hesitant to start, which caused some discussion at the scene.
"I said, what's wrong with Shen Huaiyu? Can't he answer a single question?"
"No way, how could Mr. Xiao have such poor taste?"
"Then why hasn't he started writing yet? The exam only lasts for an hour..."
"Yeah, is it because the questions are too easy for him?"
"Hey, he started answering the questions. Why did he waste several minutes just now?"
"Yeah, I think Xue Xinqi has already finished two questions..."
These discussions did not affect Shen Huaiyu's mood. He was concentrating on answering the questions.
Old Xiao sat at the top, drinking tea with his two apprentices and a few old friends.
"Teacher, who do you think will get first place this time?" Xie Lai asked with a smile.
Xiao Zongqi glanced at him, took a sip of tea, and said calmly, "You can't tell anything just by looking at his appearance."
"Really? I thought you decided to accept Shen Huaiyu as your last disciple after seeing his appearance!" Xie Lai teased fearlessly.
Successfully got an eye flying knife from Xiao Zongqi.
Humph, don’t think he doesn’t know that when his teacher accepted him as a disciple, it was also because of his appearance!
If this Shen Huaiyu really becomes a junior apprentice, I'm afraid the teacher and his wife will be distracted from this...
Xie Lai complained silently in his heart.
Soon, half of the exam time was over.
At this time, Qin Baolin and Kong Shengsheng were already having difficulty doing the questions.
"These questions are really difficult. They are far beyond what I usually learn..." Qin Baolin scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously.
I have only finished half of the test paper. It will be very embarrassing if I fail.
Kong Shengsheng also bit her lip. She usually participated in competitions of all sizes and claimed that she had seen many types of questions.
But the types of questions on Xiao Zongqi's paper were almost all new to her...
This question depends entirely on your IQ.
But the reason Kong Shengsheng received so much praise was not because she was particularly smart, but because she was diligent and hardworking.
As long as it is a question that she has seen in the market, she can basically recite it by heart.
So, she had a hard time writing this paper.
Looking at the large blank space on the test paper, Kong Shengsheng almost couldn't hold back her tears, but she thought of Qin Baolin and Shen Huaiyu.
She didn't want to be the first, as long as she wasn't the last, she still had a chance! There were still two rounds of competition to come...
Thinking of this, Kong Shengsheng felt at ease.
Feng Lingyu leaned against a corner of the garden, folded his hands and watched their competition.
"Xiao Yu'er, come on!"
She muttered to herself.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar shadow flash by.
The one with the surname Shi?
Feng Lingyu thought about it, then followed.
Feng Lingyu had not yet avenged himself for having his clothes soiled, and was worried about not finding an opportunity.
Shi Xiangyun was fascinated by Shen Huaiyu in the crowd when a woman named He who was beside her mother came to her and said that her mother asked her to come over.
Mrs. He was a distant relative of my mother's family. Nominally, she was a relative who came to her family for refuge, but in reality, she was a maid in the Shi family.
Shi Xiangyun was a little reluctant to leave, but she knew that her mother must have asked her to go over for something, so she followed He Pozi.
He Liling was waiting for her daughter outside the garden. When she saw her daughter, she scolded her, "Why did you take so long? How is the person I asked you to see? Is he very good?"
This time, He Liling brought her daughter to attend Xiao Zongqi's banquet just to let her daughter see Xue Xinqi.
She intended to let her daughter marry into the Xue family. The Xue family was of high status. She had also made inquiries and found that Xue Xinqi was very outstanding. If Xiangyun could marry him, it would be an excellent marriage.
"I heard from Aunt He that Xue Xinqi is quite good-looking. What do you think?" He Liling couldn't wait to ask her daughter for her opinion.
Shi Xiangyun then remembered the reason why her mother brought her here. She was attracted by Shen Huaiyu as soon as she arrived here, so she had no time to care about Xue Xinqi...
But now Shen Huaiyu is not yet Mr. Xiao's closed disciple. Shi Xiangyun knows that her mother has always wanted her to marry into a powerful family.
If I tell her now that I like Shen Huaiyu, my mother will definitely not agree...
So Shi Xiangyun answered absentmindedly: "Yes, it's not bad, but isn't Xue Xinqi two years younger than me?"
"Oh, my girl, as the saying goes, a woman who is three years older than a man is a treasure. It has always been a good match for a woman who is older than a man!" Aunt He said from the side.
He Liling also smiled and nodded: "Aunt He is right, it doesn't matter if he is a little older than you, that child is very good."
Seeing that her mother and Aunt He were trying their best to bring them together, Shi Xiangyun could only reluctantly agree.
Just agree to it now.
After Shen Huaiyu successfully becomes Mr. Xiao's disciple, his mother should no longer oppose himself and Shen Huaiyu.
He Liling and Aunt He looked at each other with smiles in their eyes, and they both thought that Shi Xiangyun was embarrassed.
Feng Lingyu followed Shi Xiangyun here and hid behind a pillar. He didn't expect to hear such a conversation.
It turns out that her family has set their eyes on Xue Xinqi, but looking at Shi Xiangyun's expression, it is clear that she has set her eyes on her own Xiao Yuer.
What a wish!
This mother and daughter pair don't seem to have much sense. Xue Xinqi seems to be arrogant and proud, so he may not necessarily look down on Shi Xiangyun.
They are still picking them up here...
