Village Chief Ma smiled and said, "Everyone, Lord Ke has sent the third round of exam questions to the two groups of contestants. Miss Qiutong and the daughter of the Jian family, please answer carefully. The first one to submit their paper and gain the approval of the masters will win. If the first one to submit their paper does not meet the requirements, the second one will be judged. The first one to submit their paper will have priority."
After saying that, a boy walked over, picked up the drumstick and started beating it.
The audience was bustling with activity.
"I don't know what the question is."
"Yeah, I don't know what's going on."
"This Mr. Ke was the top scholar that year, and his questions are the most difficult."
"Yes, I heard that he was also the chief examiner of the imperial examinations in the capital."
Fu Tong'er said: "Brother, tell me what questions you asked."
You Yi looked at the test question and said, "Write an uplifting poem with early spring as the background. The poem must include at least one flower."
Fu Tong'er hummed, propped up her head and thought, then said, "Brother, I told you to write it."
"good."
"When singing the spring song, the world's festival season is in a hurry. The spring is not like a red dancing skirt, the curtains are full of anger, and the north wind blows. Waiting for summer quietly, the years are like a dream of mulberry fields, the sunflowers are full of clusters on the wall, I smile and twist the pearl curtains, and chant on the bridge.
After General Yi finished writing, he smiled and said, "Tongtong wrote a normal poem."
Fu Tong'er laughed and said, "Brother, when did you speak up for Master Jiu? Wasn't it normal before? If it had happened before, I would have whipped him. But I can't see now, and I'm conflicted. Should I let him go or not? Hand in this poem."
At this moment, a boy had already taken the words of Boss Jian's two daughters and was about to go on stage.
General You Yi folded up the answers, turned his wrist quickly, and the answers at his fingertips were already in the hands of Village Chief Ma!
Two steps faster than the boy.
The two daughters of the Jian family saw this and one of them shouted, "They cheated! We paid first."
Village Chief Ma took Fu Tong'er's answer and waited for the little boy to bring up the answer of the daughter of the Jian family. He turned to look at Lord Guo.
Lord Guo said, "Since Miss Qiu Tong submitted her answer first, let's look at her answer first. If there are no problems, she will be the champion of this year's Flower-Dipping Poetry Competition. If there are problems, we will look at the answers of the two daughters of the Jian family. If both have problems, the one with the better answer will win."
After receiving the answer, Township Chief Ma turned to the audience and said with a smile, "Alright! In that case, please wait a moment while we discuss this matter. I will announce the results of the competition after half an incense stick."
Then, a boy went to light a stick of incense.
Fu Tong'er laughed and said, "Brother, what did you do to make others say that we cheated?"
General You Yi came closer and said, "Nothing much. Tongtong, do you want to go back to Dian Kingdom and take a look?"
"Motherland? Why do you ask that, brother?"
General You Yi said, "April is the time for ancestor worship. If you want to go back and take a look, I can take you with me."
Fu Tong'er suddenly confirmed: "Are you from Dian? I thought you were—so, we are from the same hometown."
General Youyi of the Cavalry smiled.
"Then how did you become a general in Yandi?"
General You Yi lowered his eyes gently and said, "I'll tell you when I have the chance."
"Can't you say that now?"
"Well, not now."
Fu Tong'er: "You speak quietly, and I listen quietly."
The two little girls beside her glanced at Fu Tong'er.
General You laughed and said, "Xiao Tongtong, it's not possible now."
"Not a single word?"
General You smiled but did not answer, just hummed.
"Then I'll treat you to some sweet cakes, and you tell me?" As she said that, Fu Tong'er gave the sweet cakes that Jiu Ye had ordered people to buy to General You Yi.
You Yi chose a red bean cake and took two bites.
"Brother, can you tell me now?"
General You Yi laughed and said, "No."
"Give me back my sweet cake."
General You Yi ate leisurely and said, "I've already eaten. How can I return it?"
"Then don't answer it."
General You Yi looked at Fu Tong'er's little face and smiled: "I've been accompanying Tongtong to practice martial arts since before dawn. Now it's past noon, and I'm writing for you and helping you on stage. I don't know how long Jiu Ye will be busy this afternoon. I've been with you almost all day. Can't I have some sweet cakes with you?"
Fu Tong'er: "This——"
"Hmm? Isn't it?"
At this time, Xiao Si from the Jian Mansion approached here.
