The girl in the green dress was so shocked that she couldn’t hear anything else.
She didn’t know if the question of the imperial examination was leaked or if the author was too powerful.
She asked, “Are you talking nonsense??”
Her friend said, “I dare not talk stupidly about this.”
She looked dignified, and even after drinking some wine, she looked quite sober. She carefully read through the book.
She soon discovered that not only the topics were similar, but also the answers.
The answer was also very neat, compared with what she had seen before it was more updated.
This was probably a big problem.
The woman in the green dress said, “The woman who wrote the book looked like a woman in her twenties. She didn’t dress very well and looked a little sloppy.”
Her friend asked, “Do you think she wrote it?”
The green shirt woman thought for a moment and replied, “No, maybe…”
Her friends said, “I don’t think so.”
She didn’t think anyone in the world could guess the questions of the imperial examination.
Those questions were prepared with extreme caution and meticulous care.
It must be someone who leaked those questions.
She still had a face to sell those questions in a booklet?
Really shameless!
The friend was filled with contempt. She raised her hand to roll the book into her shirt and said, “I will take the book back to read it first.”
The young lady got up and was about to leave.
She suddenly thought of something and turned back and said, “Do you remember the person’s appearance?? Draw it to me.”
The girl in the green dress did not dare to joke with her friend and asked the servant to borrow paper and a pen and draw it for her.
On the rice paper, in a few withered lines an outline of an abstract face came into being.
The leakage of imperial test questions should not be underestimated.
After leaving the restaurant, she took the book, quickly found the Ministry of Appointment, and asked about the imperial examination questions.
As a result, she learned that this time the test questions, not even the minister of the Ministry of Appointment knew.
In other words, there was almost no chance of a leak of examination questions.
Feeling shocked, she gave the book to the official of the Ministry of Appointment.
Seeing this, the official was scared to sit directly on the ground, with his brain blank.
“No problem, choose a new set of questions.”
“…Although there are many questions in this book, it is better to avoid them all.”
The official did not dare to say anything else and spent half a day copying the book, excluding the questions mentioned in the book, and finally made two more test papers.
After returning home, the drunk female was lying on the bedding.
However, because the day was too tense, she tossed and turned at night and couldn’t sleep.
Her mind was full of the contents mentioned in the “Guide to the Imperial Examination.” book.
This book was really strange.
At first, she thought it was someone who leaked the questions, but then she carefully thought about it.
All the answers to those questions were bold and rebellious.
Not only did she dare to speak bad things about ministers, but she also dared to criticize the major events that occurred some time ago.
If it was really a thief who stole the question, how could the person have such courage??
But if it was really the questions she had guessed…
In just one book, the person could guess all the questions. This woman was really too dangerous…
She had to find this person before this person writes the next book!
Xu Zhen didn’t know that she was being guarded against.
After washing her clothes, she sneezed several times, thinking she had a cold, so she hurried back to the house to put on a coat.
The little girl was still chopping wood.
Xu Zhen went to get her merit points and chatted with her.
A pile of firewood was lying in the corner.
Xu Zhen said, “You have been splitting wood for ten days, about thirty copper plates. It’s a lot of money if you convert it.”
The little girl said, “Too few.”
Xu Zhen said, “It’s less but do you know how long it took me to earn ten copper plates?”
The little girl stopped her movement to watch her.
Seeing her movements, Xu Zhen knew that the girl was waiting for herself to speak.
Xu Zhen smirked.
She smiled for a while and told her, “I have earned it in twenty days.”
