Chapter 107 Don't Look Down on Women
Xiao Jingheng waved his hand, and saw two guards carrying a framed test paper and placing it on the examination platform.
He said: "This is the test paper that Miss Song answered.
After you have read this, let's discuss whether her name deserves to be on this list. "
Everyone gathered around to look at the test paper, and at first glance they were shocked by its neat layout.
There is not a single erasure or modification in the entire article, the handwriting is beautiful and neat, and the article has unique insights.
Those students who had looked down on Song Shiwei were filled with shame.
To think that they studied so hard for ten years and yet were still not as good as a woman.
Xiao Jingheng stood tall and looked at them all and asked, "What do you think? Do you still think Miss Song's name is not worthy of appearing on this list?"
Everyone rolled up their sleeves and bowed their heads in greeting: "We are ashamed."
After reading Song Shiwei's answer sheet, no one would be dissatisfied, and her name being ranked first is well deserved.
Xiao Jingheng said: "Miss Song's test paper will be displayed here for three days. It can be regarded as a reminder for you. Remember, never look down on women."
"I will follow the prince's instructions."
What happened today can be said to have trampled on the pride and self-esteem of these students.
It also lets them see that there is always someone better than you.
After Xiao Jingheng left, the students crowded around the test paper and were reluctant to leave for a long time.
Someone lamented, "It's a pity that Miss Song is so talented, but she is a girl. If she were a man, she would surely be made a marquis and a prime minister in the future."
"Yes, the most unfortunate thing is that she married a man like Shen Linchuan. What's the use of having talent?"
"Why is it useless? At least she can motivate us to work harder.
If we can't even beat a woman, there's no point in us talking about serving our country and having lofty ambitions."
Everyone was discussing passionately.
The news that Song Shiwei topped the high school list has already reached the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion.
The people who came to announce the good news were beating drums and gongs, but the housekeeper was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.
After learning that the eldest daughter had passed the imperial examination, the housekeeper hurried to the study and stammered, "Master, someone from the academy came to announce the good news that the eldest daughter had passed the imperial examination."
"What high school?"
Song Moting frowned, not reacting to what happened for a moment.
The housekeeper said, "The eldest lady took the women's examination and won the first place. Her name was ranked among the top students in the gold examination."
"what?"
Song Moting stood up suddenly, his face full of disbelief: "Shi Wei passed the high school girls' exam?"
"Yes, it is said that no man taking the exam this year can compare to the young lady."
The housekeeper said with a delighted look on his face: "Master, the person who brought the good news is still outside.
Now everyone in the capital knows that our daughter has graduated from high school."
"Great!"
Song Moting was extremely excited. He hurried to the door to meet the person who brought the good news.
After confirming the news, he happily spent a fortune and said, "To congratulate my little girl on her success in high school, I, Cheng Enbo Mansion, will distribute money for three days starting today, and everyone will get a share."
Upon hearing this, the people rushed forward and loudly congratulated.
In the Wutong Courtyard.
Song Shiwei was writing something under the sycamore tree when she saw Zhu Qing running over and saying, "Miss, you passed the high school entrance examination and got first place in the exam, with your name ranked first among the men.
The master is extremely happy and is now distributing money in front of the mansion to congratulate you."
Song Shiwei looked calm. She put down the brush in her hand, picked up the letter she had written, blew on the ink on it and said, "It's a win, so it's a win."
Seeing her indifferent look, Zhu Qing couldn't help but say, "Miss, you are too calm.
It's a unique thing for a woman's name to appear on the list of men in the imperial examination. Aren't you excited at all?"
Song Shiwei shrugged: "So what if I appear on the list? I can't be the top female scholar. It's just a superficial glory."
She sealed the written letter and handed it to Zhu Qing, saying, "Send it to the Yongning Marquis's residence and hand it to the Marquis personally."
Zhu Qing took the letter, nodded, then turned and left the yard.
As soon as she left, Song Moting arrived at Wutong Courtyard. When he saw Song Shiwei, he happily called out, "Wei'er."
"Father."
When Song Shiwei first heard the name "Wei'er", she felt it was very strange.
As a father, he had never called her so intimately since she was a child.
Now that his daughter has become successful, he knows how to play the role of a kind father.
Unfortunately, she is no longer a child.
It's ridiculous that he sent her away and ignored her when she needed a father the most and now he wants to be a good father.
Regardless of whether Song Moting is her biological father or not, even if he is, she no longer values this fatherly love.
One day, she will send him to the guillotine with her own hands.
"Good daughter."
Song Moting walked over, took Song Shiwei's arm, sat down in front of the stone table and said, "You have finally brought honor to our Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion.
Dad always thought you didn't get much education in the countryside, but I never thought you were so talented. Why didn't you tell Dad at the beginning? "
If he had known that his daughter had such talent, he would never have let her marry Shen Linchuan.
Whenever he thought of this, he felt full of regret.
Song Shiwei said: "Father didn't ask either."
Song Moting's face became a little stiff after being choked by these words. Because the wedding was planned in a hurry, he really didn't ask how his daughter was living in the countryside.
He sighed, "It's all Dad's fault. It was Dad who harmed you."
Song Moting raised his head and looked at her and asked, "You will definitely be summoned by His Majesty after passing the imperial examination. Have you thought about what to say when you meet His Majesty?"
Although a girl cannot become the top scorer in a high school, she can ask for an imperial decree from His Majesty, and obtain both fame and fortune.
Song Shiwei asked him back: "Father, do you have any good suggestions?"
"I think……"
Song Moting's eyes lit up, he coughed lightly and replied tactfully: "You are the daughter of our Song family.
If dad is gone in the future, the one you can rely on is your younger brother Sheng'er.
It's a pity that my father's title of Earl cannot be inherited. If Your Majesty can grant it hereditary status, then our Song family can truly prosper."
Song Shiwei asked him, "Father, do you want me to ask for the title for Sheng Ge'er?"
Song Moting said: "It's not for Sheng Ge'er but for you. From now on, the only one who can protect you is the Cheng En Marquis' Mansion."
Song Shiwei felt disgusted when she saw Song Moting's face.
Whether it was her or Song Mingzhu, he just wanted to extract more value from them.
How could there be such a father in this world?
She didn't want to continue to tangle with Song Moting, so she simply sent him away: "Okay, I will think about this matter carefully. Dad, don't worry, I will put Cheng Enbo Mansion first."
When Song Moting heard her say this, he immediately felt relieved.
The dark clouds that had arisen during this period because of Shen Linchuan's affairs had now dissipated without a trace.
