The moment Xu Ran got her test paper, she knew in her heart that she got the last place again .

This is her eighth time placing last on the exams if she counted this time .

Xu Ran didn’t even had the tears to cry anymore as she holds her test paper with determination .

Her family servant and her maid Fei Cui were waiting outside the exam room . Seeing her come out, they immediately went up to her . Fei Cui gave her a hand warmer, pointing to the far side of the courtyard, directing at the Stone Lions Road: “The first young miss and third miss are waiting in their sedan chair for you . ”

It was in the middle of winter with snow flying and the wind rustling . The head servant shouted an order and all three comfortable sedan chair were moved till they were in a parallel line .

Even after Xu Ran got into the comfortable sedan, her hands and feet were still feeling ice cold . Because they were people of the ancient China, the school examination room did not even had a stove . Once you enter the examination room, it is like falling into a ice pit .

Sitting in the sedan chair next to Xu Ran’s is her little sister Xu Jiao . Her sedan was brought near Xu Ran’s, lifting the sedan curtain, Xu Jiao began to chat: “To this day, I still don’t know where this damn wind come from . Because of a little joke from old Liu Ge, every school is competing to set an example . What learning the way of the poor, my hands have been frozen stiff!

Her little sister was talking about how a couple days ago, old Liu Ge summoned all the officials to talk about the situation of the candidates taking exams this year . They somehow reached the topic about the new champion Feng Jian . Feng Jian was born poor, he covered his body with snow on a cold winter day to keep from dozing off . He memorized 《Laws of Zhou Dynasty》diligently . Old Liu Ge to Feng Jian, for example, expressed the current students warm and warm thinking .
