Extra 8 Interview 2
The young eunuchs nearby had never dealt with such a thing before, and they were all scared out of their wits.
Xie Shuangbai also heard the crying from the other end of the room, and suddenly felt overwhelmed.
This is really a cry of tears.
The children cried like ghosts and howled as if they were competing to see who could speak louder.
Xie Shuangbai looked at the little kid in front of him who was about to burst into tears and quickly ordered Xiaochun, "Go and bring the dessert I prepared."
He then said to Xiao Xia, "Bring the children from the other room here as well."
Xiao Xia bowed her head and hurried to the next room to take care of the child.
Xie Shuangbai felt that it might be this kind of environment that made the children feel afraid.
After all, even college graduates in their twenties would be timid when going to a job interview, let alone such a young child. It seems that I have not been considerate enough.
Seeing Li Bowen crying, Si Yuzhu hurried over, hugged him, and coaxed him, "Okay, okay, stop crying. I'll give you some sweet candy later, okay?"
When Li Bowen heard about eating candy, he sniffed and asked with a choked voice, "Is there really candy?"
Si Yuzhu wiped his tears with a handkerchief: "Of course, as long as you don't cry, there will be candy."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaochun and the palace maids came in with small cakes, small strawberries, cherries, White Rabbit milk candies, finger biscuits, panda lollipops, Wangzai steamed buns, beef jerky and many other snacks that modern children like.
Li Bowen saw so many delicious foods, blinked his eyes and asked, "Can I eat all of them?"
Si Yuzhu nodded: "Of course."
The children from another room were also brought in.
Every little kid's eyes were red, and some even had tears in them.
But there were also brave ones, like Qin Yibao, who not only didn't cry but also found it fun.
He saw Xie Shuangbai was about to shout, but then he remembered his father's instructions that he should not shout when seeing the Queen, so he shut up again.
He didn't understand why his father didn't allow him to call his favorite uncle Xie.
Xie Shuangbai saw Qin Yibao and waved to him, and Qin Yibao ran over like a pony.
He shouted happily: "Uncle Xie, I miss you and Rong Chi so much."
Xie Shuangbai touched his little face and said, "Chi'er misses you too. You two will be able to meet soon."
As he said that, Rong Chi ran in from outside, "Little daddy!" He threw himself to Xie Shuangbai, hugged him and acted coquettishly.
Turning around, he saw Qin Yibao shouting happily: "Brother Yibao, you're here!"
Qin Yibao was also very happy to see Rong Chi. He wanted to call Rong Chi, but his father didn't allow him to. He respectfully called out, "Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Rong Chi pulled Qin Yibao and said, "Brother Yibao, I'm so bored in the palace alone. If you come, you can play with me. It's a pity that Manman is not here."
Xie Shuangbai did not inform Manman and Tiantian to take the entrance examination. They can just enroll directly when the time comes. It can be considered as a backdoor for him.
Originally, Yibao didn't need to come, but Qin Yan was too conspicuous, and if he took the back door, people would inevitably be upset.
Qin Yibao pulled Rong Chi to show off, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince and the others were all scared and cried just now. I'm amazing. I didn't cry at all!"
Xie Shuangbai looked around and found that the children who were crying were basically those he didn't know. Those who didn't cry, judging by their physiques, were mostly children of military generals.
He understood what was going on and said, "Chi'er, come here."
Xie Shuangbai pulled Rong Chi to sit at the top and whispered, "These people might all be your classmates. Do you like them?"
Rong Chi exclaimed, "There are so many people, little daddy! There are even more people than before! I like it!"
Rong Chi is a lively person who likes to have many friends.
Xie Shuangbai said, "Then go down and share those delicious foods with them."
Rong Chi slipped down from the chair and grabbed a handful of lollipops, but his hands were too small to hold too many. Fu Quan, who was serving him, hurried forward, holding a tray and stood behind him.
Rong Chi looked at the little kids and walked over to the shortest ones. "Here, this is a delicious lollipop. Have it for you."
The child was stunned when he saw the lollipop that Rong Chi handed over, and even forgot to greet him.
Rong Chi saw that he was small and skinny, much shorter than himself. He thought for a moment and took out some beef jerky again: "Eat more and grow up!"
Little daddy likes him to grow up the most. This little brother is so small, he also needs to grow up.
The little kid timidly took the candy and beef jerky and whispered, "Thank you...thank you, Your Highness." His soft and tender childish voice made it clear that he was a well-behaved child.
Next, Rong Chi distributed candies, beef jerky and small cakes according to their height, from the weakest to the strongest.
The little kids who got the candy cakes were so happy.
Small stools and a table were quickly placed in the room, and the children sat on the tables and chairs to eat cake.
"Wow, this soft cake is so sweet." A chubby little kid, with cream on the corners of his mouth, said in surprise.
Rong Wu whispered to Xie Shuangbai, "Your Majesty, this boy is the youngest son of Captain Jiang Zheng."
Xie Shuangbai nodded.
"Why can't my mother make such delicious cakes? I will ask her to make this for me when I get home!" said a chubby little boy, with his hands full of cream, while licking his fingers.
"Your Majesty, this son is the son of Captain Wang Ge."
All the little ones exclaimed that the cake was delicious and said they wanted to go home and ask their mother to make it for them.
"Your Majesty, this son is the son of General Zhao."
After listening to Rong Wu's report, Xie Shuangbai found that children from military families were more outgoing.
Children of civil officials are usually quiet. Even when they eat, they are very polite and speak like little adults.
Children of military commanders are more lively, casual, bold and outspoken, full of childlike innocence, and more like children.
"Queen, there are more than 100 children coming for the interview this time." Si Yuzhu said with embarrassment.
"So many?" Xie Shuangbai thought about it and probably knew the reason. He asked, "Did anyone send more than one child?"
"Your Majesty is right. There are more children sent from the families of civil officials."
Xie Shuangbai thought for a moment and said, "Each family will only have one child left. It seems we still need to arrange a small test.
How about this, you call someone over now and have them quickly copy out a hundred copies of the questions I gave you, distribute them around, and then have the test after we finish eating."
At this time, the little kids who were happily eating cakes didn’t know that there was another exam waiting for them.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the test papers were distributed.
"What is this?" Qin Yibao looked at it curiously.
Rong Heng looked at the question, then looked at Qin Yibao: "Stupid, you can't even understand this!"
Qin Yibao was scolded twice in a row and was so angry that he wanted to beat him up. But when he thought of his father's instructions, he held back.
Si Yuzhu spoke at this time: "Children, write your names on the paper on the table. If you can't write, you can raise your hands.
If you don’t know the answer to a question, leave it blank. Just write down the answer you do know. Once you’re done, you can go home.”
