Chapter 281 Test: Reciting the Thousand Character Classic
"Late night?"

The person in charge of supervising their study was Wei Jinghan. Since he had his back to the gate, he was a little surprised when he turned around and saw them: "Why are you here?"

Walking quickly to her, Wei Jinghan asked in confusion.

"I have nothing to do, so I just take a look."

Taking her gaze away from the boys and girls, Shen Xiangwan raised the corners of her lips again. Since they didn't know how to cherish the opportunities she gave them, then don't blame her for being ruthless.

"It's rare that you have some free time."

Hearing this, Wei Jinghan couldn't help but joked that ever since he started to get busy with school affairs, he had less contact with the host family, but he knew that Wei Chengyi seemed to be away from home often, and she was in charge of all the things at home, so she must be very busy.

"Uncle Han, how are they doing?"

Knowing that he might have misunderstood something, Shen Xiangwan had no intention of explaining. While asking, she walked to the teacher's desk and picked up the Thousand Character Classic on it. Her slender white fingers turned the pages one by one, as if she was really just asking casually.

"It's OK. I can read, but my handwriting is a little bit worse."

"is it?"

Calligraphy cannot be mastered in a day or two, so Shen Xiangwan didn't care too much. He put down the book and looked at those people and said, "Uncle Han, I want to test them."

"what?"

They have only learned the Thousand Character Classic, how can they be tested?

Wei Jinghan couldn't help but feel a little confused. The boys and girls who heard their conversation were all shocked. Some of them even shuddered and their faces turned pale in an instant. Who could know better than themselves whether they had studied hard or not?
Even though he didn't understand how she was going to test them, since Shen Xiangwan had brought it up, Wei Jinghan would not object. Soon, he called upon his sons and nephews who were helping them in the school, and asked those boys and girls to move their desks and chairs to the spacious courtyard in the middle of the school. He then confiscated the Thousand Character Classic from their hands one by one and gave them pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

As the subjects of the test, the boys and girls were also very nervous, fearing that they would not pass the test. Many of them were so nervous that their bodies were stiff.

"Aunt, why are you here?"

They made so much noise that the children in the small class could no longer study quietly, so Wei Jingyi simply asked them to stop and take a break. Seeing Shen Xiangwan standing under the eaves, the little cubs ran over and took her hand, then looked up at her curiously with their eyes blinking. Xiao Dongzi, Yun Yi and others also gathered around them.

"Auntie is busy. Are you guys behaving well in school?"

Looking down at them, Shen Xiangwan took out his hand and rubbed the little cubs' heads. Thinking of their nodding heads while reading, the smile on his face deepened.

"We'll be good!"

The little cub didn't know what humility was, and immediately replied with a smile on his face.

"Aunt, what are they doing?"

Little Wei Yunyi stepped forward and pointed at the nervous boys and girls in the yard and asked in confusion.

"I want to test their knowledge, and they are preparing now." Looking in the direction of his finger, Shen Xiangwan's eyes turned, and suddenly he said with a fierce face: "After the test, it will be your turn. If anyone fails, I will hit the palm of their hand with a ruler."

"what?"

The children immediately frowned. It was fine if the teachers spanked their palms in school, but would she spank them at home too? They were so pitiful.

"Hahaha···"

Seeing this, Shen Xiangwan bent his fingers and tapped their heads one by one: "Alright, go back to the classroom quickly, don't run around, or the teachers will really hit you on the palms later."

"it is good."

After stroking Noddy's knocked head, the children turned around and left obediently. However, they did not return to the classroom. Instead, they ran to their friends and continued to look at her and the boys and girls in the yard with curiosity.

"Ma'am, it has been distributed."

Not long after, Yuan Ying, who was in charge of distributing pens, ink, paper and inkstones with everyone, returned to her side. Shen Xiangwan nodded and landed in the yard on tiptoe: "You have been studying and learning to read for more than two months. During this period, I didn't let you do anything to avoid distractions. I served you with delicious food and drinks every day. Today I also want to see whether you have worked hard. I won't say anything else. I will give you half an hour to write out the contents of the Thousand Character Classic from memory."

"what?"

As she finished speaking, the courtyard was filled with noise, and many people panicked. They had been studying the Thousand Character Classic for more than two months, and they had no problem reading or reciting it, but asking them to write it down? Wasn't that deliberately making things difficult for them?
"Why, you don't want to? Or you can't write it down from memory?"

Raising her eyebrows, Shen Xiangwan's smile was tinged with sarcasm. It took more than two months to write a thousand-word essay. She didn't ask them to write neatly, but they couldn't even write it out? Did they really think she bought them back to be young masters and young ladies?
"No, I don't dare..."

Sensing her abnormality, the boys and girls all shuddered and lowered their heads not daring to look her in the eye. The peace and tranquility during this period made them forget how decisively she had dealt with the two fighting people. It was good that they had memorized the Thousand Character Classic today. If they hadn't, they would have followed in the footsteps of those two people.

Thinking of this, they undoubtedly became even more panicked. They were used to a comfortable life and would never want to go back to the pawnshop to be bought and sold by others.

"Then let's start the timer."

Shen Xiangwan knew exactly what they were thinking, but she ignored it. There was no such thing as a free lunch. When she bought them, almost all of them were pale and skinny, with only skin and bones left. But look at them now, some of them even have baby fat. She provided them with good food and drink, and the only requirement was that they could read and write. If they couldn't even do that, then what was the point of keeping them?

"Yes."

Yuan Ying took out the hourglass, and the boys and girls looked at each other, and picked up their pens to grind ink. Shen Xiangwan did not return to the eaves to continue waiting, but walked back and forth among them like an invigilator, which invisibly increased their pressure. However, time waits for no one, and soon some people began to write from memory. Their pen-holding posture was still a little stiff, and the words they wrote were basically like a dog's crawling.

Although she herself was not very good at calligraphy, after looking at the handwriting of several people in a row, Shen Xiangwan still felt that it was a bit irritating to the eyes. Later, she simply stopped looking at it, leaning back in the chair in the front, with her legs crossed and her eyes squinting, looking like she was asleep.

"Ugh!"

Seeing that many people did not put pen to paper, and were either biting their pens and whispering to each other, or looking around, Wei Jingyi, Wei Jinghan and the others looked at each other and sighed at the same time. They all knew that Shen Xiangwan's requirement for these people was to learn to read as quickly as possible and would not let them stay in the school for a long time, so they only taught them the Thousand Character Classic and focused most of their attention on the children. However, they also taught them how to write and how to practice after returning. Unexpectedly... Looking at their expressions, it was clear that many people probably ignored their words, right?
