Soon the day of the palace examination arrived, and as expected, Fang Zhixing became the top scholar and was directly appointed to the Hanlin Academy.
Besides this good news, Fang Ruotang felt there was something else to be happy about.
In this year's imperial examination, there were more than ten women who passed. Although it may not seem like many, women were not qualified to participate in the imperial examinations before. This time, they were able to take the exams directly, thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince.
Despite the rules and the opposition of some officials, he insisted on selecting women before the imperial examination, so that talented women who could pass the test would have the opportunity to participate in this special imperial examination just like men.
However, this is a special period, and special measures are needed.
In the future, women who want to take the imperial examinations will also need to start from the lowest level, just like men, and gradually earn their titles and pass the exams.
There were only about twenty women who applied in total, and more than ten of them were admitted this time. With such a high pass rate, how could Fang Ruotang, who is also a woman, not be happy?
"Miss Zhang has also entered high school, and I heard that her ranking is quite good."
When Wenren Ya suddenly brought it up, her face lost all its luster.
Fang Ruotang tilted her head to look.
She added, "My second brother has been making a lot of trouble at home lately because of her. I'm really fed up. I don't know what he's doing. Whether he wants to marry her or not, our family has always let him have his way. But the problem is that the woman's family won't agree. What does that have to do with my family?"
“Originally, my mother didn’t approve of the marriage with the Zhang family, but my second brother liked it, so my mother had no choice but to go to their house in person. But the Zhang family was strange; they neither agreed nor refused, just keeping our family hanging. They also spoke very unpleasantly, and my mother was furious when she came back.”
Fang Ruotang almost laughed. The usually well-behaved Wenren Ya was so angry that her face turned red and her neck bulged. The Zhang family really had something.
"Don't talk to me, don't try to drag me into this. I don't want to be angry with you." Fang Ruotang covered her ears, not wanting to hear this nonsense at all.
In her view, this was just rehashing old news, a trivial matter that had never been resolved.
Love means being together.
If you don't love someone, then refuse them.
She thought it was a simple matter, but the Zhang family girl was different. She kept Wenren Er Gongzi hanging on, unable to let go of him.
She can neither fully commit to love and marriage, nor be a completely clear-headed leading lady. She wants both, but cannot find a balance, and she does not accept advice from others.
As far as she knew, the second young master of the Wenren family was not the eldest son of the family, but he had already persuaded his parents to agree to his marriage into the family. Even so, Zhang Yiwen was still struggling.
Fang Ruotang truly had no idea what she was struggling with.
Are you really determined to only be brothers? If so, you can just say so!
Fang Ruotang felt that Zhang Yiwen was the most conflicted and indecisive person she had ever met. She probably hadn't even figured out what she really wanted, which was why she was hesitant to move forward.
“That’s not what I wanted to talk about. I wanted to ask you if there are any pills that can make someone lose all feelings and forget love. I want my second brother to take one.”
"Oh? This isn't a good idea! After all, this is your second brother's love life. It's a bit complicated right now, but what if your second brother is actually happy with it?"
“My second brother also wants to forget this relationship; he feels it’s been too much of a hassle.”
"...Isn't this a bit too wavering?"
“My second brother is just an ordinary person. He himself is shameless and he dragged my mother down with him. Do you think he’s made of iron and can be humiliated again and again?”
Fang Ruotang thought about it. She couldn't bring herself to make her parents grovel before a man and say all the nice things. It wasn't that she thought love wasn't important, but she could make sacrifices for her lover, but she couldn't let her family be inferior because of her. That would make her very upset.
"Okay! Here you go."
Fang Ruotang asked Xiao Jingzi for the medicine and gave it to Wenren Ya.
"You must be very careful when using this Forgetfulness Pill! After using it, you will really forget the one you love."
"Is that amazing? Is there any possibility of recovery?"
Does it exist?
[From what I understand, yes! Some people, even after countless years, will never forget their beloved. Even if the other person changes appearance or voice, their heart will still beat for her instantly.]
This is pretty scary!
Fang Ruotang shuddered and relayed the little mirror's words.
Wenren Ya seemed to be thinking, "Actually, this is quite good. If you forget, you forget. But if you remember after forgetting, then it is fate. I will only give the medicine to my second brother. Whether he uses it or not is up to him."
Wenren Ya didn't say it, but she felt that something had happened between her second brother and Miss Zhang, which was why her second brother made such a choice. Before this, her second brother felt very sorry for Miss Zhang.
"By the way, there's another thing I want to ask you. Is there something wrong with my abilities?" Wenren Ya asked, a hint of worry on her face.
"How so?" Fang Ruotang became interested in this.
Will Xiaoya's ability disappear?
Yes, everyone's luck has its limits, just like a person's wealth. If you squander it recklessly, you'll eventually go bankrupt. However, Xiaoya is kind and upright. As long as she doesn't do evil, given her character, this ability should stay with her for life.
“I have a cousin who has been doing good deeds ever since she found out I have this ability. She asks me to bless her to have children soon. I started praying once a day, and now I pray three times a day. I’m almost obsessed. I don’t even dare to see her anymore.”
Wenren Ya was almost in tears. This cousin was also her paternal cousin, a very close relationship. She couldn't avoid it. Not only was her cousin urging her, but her mother was also asking about it.
"What's your name? Tell me, I'll ask Little Mirror what's going on." Fang Ruotang's curiosity was piqued, after all, Wenren Ya was very capable.
"Xue Nanshu is my cousin. She has been married for five years and has not yet conceived. She has seen the imperial physician and there is nothing wrong with her body. She has also tried many folk remedies, but she still cannot get pregnant."
"Has your brother-in-law had any tests done? If a woman can't get pregnant, it's not just a problem with her; the problem could be with the man."
“It’s been checked, and there’s no problem. Moreover, since my cousin hadn’t been able to get pregnant, at the beginning of this year, the concubines’ contraceptive soup was stopped, and two of them got pregnant.”
Fang Ruotang glanced at Wenren Ya with sympathy.
Judging from her anxious appearance, she clearly has a close relationship with her cousin from the Xue family.
What is the story behind Xue Nanshu? Is she in poor health and unable to conceive? Can it be cured?
[It's incurable. She's just a man; why would she have a child?]
【man! 】
Fang Ruotang looked surprised and glared at Wenren Ya.
Wenren Ya's pupils dilated, unable to express her feelings.
Is Xiaoya really that stupid? Can't she even tell the difference between her older cousin and her older cousin?
[On the surface, Xue Nanshu is a woman, but in reality, according to the medical level of your previous world, her chromosomes are male, and she has no uterus, so she is destined to be unable to have children.]
Fang Ruotang watches all sorts of videos every day, but this is the first time she's ever seen one so obscure. The little mirror immediately showed her a short video, which she watched in a daze.
