Fang Xiaofan stared at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan looked at the empty plate on the table: "..."

He thought for a while and said, "Why are you hungry?"

"What?" Fang Xiaofan was puzzled.

Fang Jifan said seriously: "I clearly see you. I did the exam seriously just now. While doing the exam, I ate the pastries on the table."

Fang Xiaofan said sternly: "You are lying to me, I didn't eat it!"

Fang Jifan touched her head indulgently: "You eat, I saw it with my own eyes. Okay, we don't care about this, it's just a little bit. The big test is imminent. You must not put this thought on this useless food and drink. Isn't it just for food? Brother, let's ask you to arrange it, you can continue to do the test, and wait for a while, and you'll have some food."

Fang Jifan left a word and slipped away with a whizz.

Fang Xiaofan touched his stomach.

It's very uncomfortable.

but……

She was soon attracted by the test questions on the table again.

After two hours, I did more than a dozen questions, but it was slower. The main problem was due to various verifications.

She took a deep breath, and she had no time, so she continued.

Take out the draft beside you, continue to compare the questions, and constantly check them.

If she encounters an interesting question, she can't help but giggle, just like Liu Jin eating watermelon.

…………

Emperor Hongzhi looked down at the latest report.

Emperor Hongzhi was particularly concerned about the stock price of Xingfu Group... or whether it was related to the national affairs such as Xingfu Group's Western Expedition.

He took Wang Shouren's report. Although he didn't understand many of the military arrangements inside, it did not prevent Emperor Hongzhi from trying every possible way to find a problem, as if this could make himself feel at ease.

Emperor Hongzhi put down the report and smiled at Liu Jian and others: "Young family, I heard that the cabinet is going to organize a math competition, and it is necessary to borrow the tribute school as an examination room?"

Liu Jian looked ashamed: "There are also a lot of knowledge in the new learning, which is worthy. Not all old ministers and others are pedantic people. If it is a thing that is beneficial to the country, how can we not promote it?"

The steam locomotive is out.

The steamboat came out.

The steam textile machine is also out.

So many things are shocking, but they are not changing everyone's thinking.

Even the most stubborn scholars nowadays, at least in the capital, dare not say that new learning is useless.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "How can I not know the wonderful uses of mathematics? I have been thinking these days. It turns out that... this world is full of mathematics and verification. Although this holy study is the body, the learning in the world is like this mathematics, but your ideas are excellent. When your grades come out, you will send the list of top students to me. I am thirsty for seeking talents when I use people."

Liu Jian and others hurriedly said, "Yes."

"But..." Xie Qian said on the side: "There is a problem in the exam."

"Trouble?" Emperor Hongzhi was stunned and looked at Xie Qian: "What trouble can you have? The Xie Qing family needs to report to me."

"This time the examiner is an old minister. Someone from below came to report that someone came to take the exam, and he was in the name of Xishan Academy of Sciences. This person... was called... Fang Xiaofan..."

Emperor Hongzhi was so happy, why did he have the same name as Xiaofan?

Xie Qian said: "This person...is still a woman."

Emperor Hongzhi's face changed slightly.

Xie Qian coughed and said embarrassedly: "After investigation, she is Fang Jifan's girl. Your Majesty, I have never heard of it. A woman came to take the exam, no imperial examinations, and no other exams. This... this... this is a bit broken, but... the rules were not stated in the previous exam regulations that a woman could not take the exam, and not to mention that the Duke of Qi was involved...so..."

This is indeed a negligence of the cabinet. When setting the standards for the examination, people deliberately ignored the fact that women would come to take the exam. Since there is no requirement that women cannot come to take the exam, then...

Emperor Hongzhi's face turned pale and scolded, "Jifan is a nonsense, this is his own girl. How could he bear it? He can't harm his girl so much and let his girl show up in public. Why, is he still satisfied? What kind of words does a woman take? "

"Old minister, that's what he said." Xie Qian bowed: "It's just... Fang Jifan said that this was the arrangement of Empress Zhang."

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

In the hall, there was a sudden silence.

Silent.

a long time.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "This...this...this...Empress Zhang...is mainly because Fang Jifan is distorted."

"Yes, yes, Duke of Qi... too..." Liu Jian nodded repeatedly, but when he said the word " too, he suddenly remembered his son who was far away in the Golden Island, and then... he became silent.

Li Dongyang coughed. He was the Grand Secretary and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Therefore, he had to avoid suspicion in this exam, but... he said worriedly: "Your Majesty, the old minister heard that a women's federation was established outside the palace. Now he is recruiting people everywhere. He also said... he wanted to ask for justice for women all over the world. He also said, who said women were not as good as men? And... he also said... he advocated the abolition of concubines. It is said that the president of this women's association is the Empress..."

Emperor Hongzhi's face turned green.

Looking at the three old ministers, he looked at himself with an awkward look on his face.

Emperor Hongzhi was even more embarrassed and his old face turned red.

There are rumors outside that Emperor Hongzhi is afraid of the inner world.

This fear is extremely shameful for a big man in this era.

What's more, it's the emperor.

Okay, now it's all right. It turns out that this is just rumors. Now it's a confirmation of fear and deposed and taken into a concubine. Isn't I a ready-made example?

"Absurd!" Emperor Hongzhi shivered and said, "Who came up with this bad idea?"

"I want to..." Li Dongyang was so amused that he didn't dare to see Emperor Hongzhi, but if he didn't look, he seemed to feel that he had a ghost in his heart. But when he saw Emperor Hongzhi's ashamed look, his eyes looked at him, wouldn't it make him even more like he had a ghost in his heart? Are he mocking Your Majesty: "I think, eight out of ten are encouraged by Fang Jifan."

Who isn't this dog?

This dog is really not human.

He is the prince-consort himself, so he will never really take a concubine in his life. His princess's status is higher than his status. Well, if he can't afford to eat, he will smash everyone's pot. This is a shameless dog.

Emperor Hongzhi had a dark face: "They were just making trouble, and after some days, they calmed down."

Three Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, I think things are not that simple.

But now, there seems to be no words, and they all look taciturn.

Queen Zhang...is really not easy to provoke.

What's more, there is a Fang Jifan who is fanning the flames everywhere and keeps doing business all day long and knows how to overturn the table and smash the blame.

However, what they were worried about was that these extreme remarks had caused a lot of backlash. Although some people only regarded this Women's Federation as a joke, some stubborn people had already started to stomp their feet and scold them.

If this continues... God knows what it will look like.

Emperor Hongzhi sat down, his face was still red, and he said, "Well, please step back, I'm exhausted."

The Bachelors of the Cabinet withdrew.

Emperor Hongzhi looked up and looked at the little eunuch angrily: "When will Parcel Xiao come back and where did he die? It has been more than a month since then. If you don't come back, let his mansion stay in the desert."

"Yes." The little eunuch was trembling and was busy lying on the ground.

…………

With the Zhang family's money, the Women's Federation was running smoothly.

Many palace maids and female officials became the first members, especially those female medical officials, who were the most active.

In fact, the initial program was not very fierce. I had not yet proposed the objection to taking a concubine. However, the outside world was mostly sarcastic about this women's union, believing that a group of women could make some fun? Therefore, it added fuel to the fire and arranged many things as jokes.

This is actually understandable.

In this era, discrimination against women has been deeply rooted in the bones.

Because of this, no one is here to act arbitrary except laughing.

Don't be afraid of being arrogant.

Fang Jifan was sharpening his knife at home.

Ah, no.

It's polishing your own girl.

I thought I should have prepared a small whip or something, but I would suck her if I didn't obey.

But who would have thought?

Fang Xiaofan's love for mathematics far exceeded Fang Jifan's imagination.

Almost forgot to eat and sleep, Fang Xiaofan was always writing questions except eating and sleeping.

At night, when she was sitting on the light, Fang Jifan was worried about her, so she sat aside, lay on the table, and accompanied the exam.

Then, Fang Xiaofan heard the creeping giggle in the middle of the night.

Fang Jifan suddenly felt the cold wind hitting behind him, and behind his shoulders, he was very sequential.

He raised his head pale face.
