Chapter 9: The Academy

Yan Qi and Yan Er and Yan Wu Niang shared a carriage, all three of them were concubines, and Yan Liuyan and Yan Eight were in another car.

Yan Er girl is the first daughter of the third generation of Yanfu, she has passed the age of Xuan, strictly speaking, she can already marry, but the marriage age span of this era is relatively large, from thirteen to twenty years old, you can be casual in this range, it doesn't matter if you are earlier than thirteen years old, if you are later than twenty years old, your parents will be punished, after all, in this era, the population is the first productive force, and it is illegal to hinder the development of productive forces.

Yan Er girl is fifteen years old, Tingting Yuli, good looks, three points like Master Yan, more with Mrs. Yan, Qingyan is cold, not much to say, but she has a restrained eldest sister's might, to say that the arrogant little princess Yan Wu girl is most afraid of in this family, except for Mrs. Yan, it belongs to the eldest sister of this in-law, so this son will honestly sit in the car without saying a word, in exchange for the usual sneering skills, a stick of incense can blow Yan Qi into slag.

Miss Yan Er just took the book and flipped through it in her hand, her face was indifferent.

It is rare to be quiet, Yan Qi tilted his head to look out through the bright glass embedded in the wall of the carriage, the carriage turned out of Liuchang Street, and gradually walked up the wider street, and saw that the walls on both sides of the street were wall after wall, tile tiles, alleys like cobwebs, and courtyards like chessboards. Although the hour is early, the street is already full of people, scholars, workers, farmers, farmers, merchants, old and young, sick and pregnant, wearing fine silk and coarse cloth, carrying sedan chairs and riding horses, selling firewood, selling flowers and selling breakfast, carts carrying sacks, rich and poor, men and women, old and young, rapping, quarrelling, crying, laughing and playing, a scroll of life in the world is slowly spread out in this small window, called prosperous, said prosperous, said the world is peaceful.

The carriage crosses the streets and alleys, and finally turns onto a street called "Zhegui", next to Zhegui Street is a river in the city that is several meters wide, the river name is "Zhilan", the name of this street and a river is to take the meaning of "Zhilan hair, Zhegui strives for the first".

Walking to this street, the flow of people is obviously thinning, and most of the people watching the pedestrians are scholars. The river street is connected in parallel, there are cars and horses on the street, the river has Wupeng, the spring willows are connected along the road, and the arch bridge is in a string.

On the other side of the river, the white walls and gray tile roofs are continuous, and the plaques and signboards on the lintels are more quaint and delicate than one piece.

On the other side of the river are the people's houses, but they are not as noisy as the residential areas in the center of the city, and it is said that the people who live here are all literati and nobles, and they have a quiet and elegant aura precipitated here.

The carriage went all the way to the east along Zhegui Street, gradually marched into an open area, the large pieces of bluestone bricks were polished to the point of being remarkable, the sunlight paved down to reflect the halo of green, in the halo, at the end of the bluestone square, a large piece of ancient and sunken buildings stood quietly under the blue sky, which made people involuntarily awe-inspired.

The plaque at the main entrance reads "Splendid Academy" with four gold lacquer Dali.

It's here.

On the square outside the gate of the academy, there have been a lot of cars and horses, all of them are officials and dependents who come to school, everyone with their attendants, carrying large and small bookcases, and even carrying burdens, Yan Qi has regained the feeling when the university opened, but I don't know if there are any seniors who are responsible for guiding new students.

Everyone in the Yan family got down from the carriage, and as the other students walked towards the door, Yan Qi turned around and saw Young Master Yan Jiu walking behind him.

The Splendid Academy is divided into two campuses, the Men's Division's 'Brocade' and the Women's Division's 'Embroidery Academy', the Brocade Academy is located on the south side of the Academy, and the Embroidery Academy is located on the north side of the Academy.

"Study hard and make progress every day. Yan Qi said to Young Master Yan Jiu.

Young Master Yan Jiu slowly looked up at the sky, and then slowly asked Yan Qi, "Who is Tiantian?"

"Day by day. Yan Qi changed to classical Chinese.

"Don't swear. Young Master Yan Jiu walked slowly into the south gate.

“……”

Yan Qi entered the gate of the embroidery courtyard, followed the flow of stairs all the way up, and looked at it, everyone's "equipment" was similar, a maid, a bookcase, and a look forward to it.

Go up 36 steps, see the true face of the academy, but it is full of strange stones and exquisite fragrance of different grasses, sometimes a pavilion, sometimes or half a corridor, Mingxuan near the water, Yalu Lintang, is a quiet and elegant fairy who does not mess with the mortal dust.

Yan Qi sniffed.

From the moment she stepped into the courtyard door, it seemed that the whole person was baptized by such an ancient scroll and mossy aura, and her heart suddenly calmed down and cleared, and her gestures seemed to bring the elegance and elegance of the fragrance of books, as if she was a native of the ancients, and every inch of her hair and skin was soaked in the pious love for this era.

Women go to school, not to gain fame, but to cultivate their prime. Su zhì not only relies on words and deeds, but also needs to be cultivated by the environment. Therefore, the embroidery courtyard is not as solemn and solemn as the brocade courtyard, through a beautiful landscape like the opening remarks, a larger piece of beautiful scenery and elegant land is spread out in front of you like a painting of the garden map, a Mingxuan embroidery household is hidden in the green trees and fragrant bushes, with the mystery and shyness unique to the oriental woman reveals a beam and tile, attracting people to explore and understand.

The "senior" students have already gone to their "classrooms" on their own, and the second girl Yan is a "fourth-grader" this year, and after instructing a few newly enrolled sisters, she left with several of her "classmates", leaving Yan Wuyan 6 Yan 7 Yan 8, and the four new raw melons and eggs stood in place and stiffened.

All of the freshmen had several distinctly recognizable features: dull expressions, wandering gaze, cramped hands and feet, and inner roars.

At present, there are more than 100 new students with the above obvious characteristics gathered around Yan Qi, although everyone is an official dependent, but in this era of respecting teachers, as long as they enter the school gate, everyone is equal, and they must have the greatest sincerity of respect and awe for the school and teachers.

Fortunately, the embarrassing time was not long, and several middle-aged women with solemn expressions walked on the path, leading the new students to the depths of the campus. The eleven or twelve-year-old girls were a little nervous for a while when they left their elders who loved them and the servants who hugged them before, and they were all silent and breathless, and they could only hear the footsteps of Suosuo.

Divide the flowers and willows, go around the stone through the corridor, a large piece of open Xuan appears in front of you, and the plaque on the lintel is "Lanxin Hall" three big characters. Entering the Xuan, only a chair was set up at the top, and there was an empty space under the three steps, and a woman headed by him stepped straight forward and stepped on the steps, turned around to look at the people standing at the bottom of the steps, and a faint voice slowly came out, saying: "The Ten Commandments of the Embroidery Academy, wait and listen!"

…… No tongue, no theft, no jealousy, no fornication, no fornication, no bar

The school motto of the girls' school is similar to that of the seven, and from the moment they step into the school, these girls who have just left the age of "children" will begin to prepare to serve men.

After affirming the school motto, the next class is divided. Splendid Academy only female school to enroll nearly 100 new students every year, it is impossible to squeeze a room to study, as for how to divide, completely rely on random, random way is also very elegant, all the freshmen lined up, one by one stepped forward to draw lots, the sign is a flower stick made of hollow sandalwood chips, Yan Qi drew a plum in his hand and a poem: plum blossom fragrance from the bitter cold.

Yan Wu girl drew a peach blossom, the poem is: The spring breeze on the small peach branch is early.

So according to the signature, Yan Qi was assigned to the plum blossom class, Yan Wu girl was assigned to the peach blossom class, Yan Liu girl went to the lotus class, Yan Ba girl camellia class, the class name is mainly flower, Yan Qibai is ready to kneel for the "second class a year".

Each "grade" of the Embroidery Academy is divided into six classes, and the whole school has a total of six grades. Most students enter at the age of 12 and graduate at the age of 18 after six years of study. There are many students who want to study here for a few years, the school does not have a hard and fast rule, and there are many students who want to study for a few more years in order to make themselves better, so as to attract better people to seek matches.

Yan Qi pinched the flower stick in his hand, raised his eyes and saw Wu Yue and Lu Lotus walking towards this room with a smile, as if making a code, Wu Yue said to her: "Plum blossom-" Lu Lotus answered: "-Xiangzi-" Yan Qi: "The bitter cold is coming." ”

The servants were pumped in a class, and they were so happy that they didn't want to.

Wu Yue and Lu Lotus were going to go to school in the Splendid Academy, but Yan Qi knew early on that Wu Yue's twelfth uncle taught riding and archery in the academy, and as a family member, he was also admitted directly without the entrance examination, and Lu Lotus was admitted with his real ability, and this comrade in the small gang had the highest cultural attainments.

After the classes were divided, the women led the students of each class out of the Orchid Hall, which was equivalent to the auditorium of the school in that world, and was usually used for meetings. The woman who had just read out the school motto introduced herself, her surname was Yan, and her identity was the rank of deputy chief, that is, the vice principal.

The woman who led the new students of the plum blossom class to the classroom was the head of the plum blossom class (head teacher), surnamed Qi, who looked very gentle, in her early thirties, elegant manners, and outstanding temperament. The students followed her all the way east, along the stone path into a plum forest, this season there is a batch of late-blooming spring plums quietly blooming, red and pink, embellished on the branches that are slanting out, like an immortal guiding the way.

In the depths of the plum forest, an open pavilion in the painted window is the classroom of the plum blossom class, the door plaque is written with the words "Ling Han Xiangshe", push the door in, first there is a foyer, set up a tea house. A moon cave door in the east, enter the door, a huge open hall, the beech wood floor with oil and light connoisseurship, more than a dozen red acid branch wood heads, two moon hole windows on the east wall, embedded with glass, hanging Xiangfei bamboo curtains, the south wall is placed with a variety of incense and a few flower stands, there should be antique ornaments potted flowers on the west wall, the west wall is hung with celebrity calligraphy and paintings, the whole side of the north wall is a mica floor screen, a set of big mahogany tables and chairs in front of the screen, the four treasures of the desktop room are laid out in one word, the chair is covered with silver and red sprinkled flower chairs, it is obvious that it is the seat of Mr.

This is the place where serious classes are held, which is called a classroom in modern times, and a classroom in this dynasty. In addition to this, there are also room teachers' offices, chess rooms, tea rooms, incense rooms, dressing rooms, and waiting rooms for the attendants to rest.

With the students familiar with the classroom, Mr. Qi arranged seats for everyone, Yan Qi was assigned to the last seat on the window side, a tilt of the head, outside the window is a sparse plum greenery, the spring is warm sprinkled, flowers and magpies are chirping and flying around, a quiet and quiet.

There are a total of nineteen people in the plum blossom class, and a little Lori who is pink and tender, at least on the surface, is.

On the first day of enrollment, all kinds of matters are complicated and complicated, and the seats are lined up to choose subjects, and the compulsory subjects are piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, female red cooking, etiquette and housekeeping, and ten sports riding and shooting.

Fitness is actually a physical education class, girls should also carry out appropriate physical exercise, in order to have a strong body for birth, it is best to give birth to ten or eight strong babies in one go, improve the country's population and su zhì, women are duty-bound.

As for mounted archery, civilian schools may not make it a compulsory subject, but most government schools will still choose this subject as a compulsory subject for students, after all, it is the world on horseback, and as a courtier's family, he wants to carry this glory forever.

In addition to the compulsory ten courses, there are elective courses, the names of the elective courses are numerous, such as martial arts, such as singing and dancing, such as tea ceremony, flower arrangement, incense, handicraft and even medicine, etc.

Yan Qi already has a certain immunity to the various terrible settings that have appeared in this terrible era.

After reading the elective course list a few times, Yan Qi finally checked the two homework courses of medicine and handicraft, choosing medicine is to ensure his health, after all, the medical conditions in ancient times were relatively backward, and it was better to be able to save his life than to be helpless when he was sick. The player does not have to go outside and can sit at the table...... Anyway, it's just picking a subject that can be lazy.

After choosing a good subject, there is a curriculum and a timetable is sent down, everyone takes compulsory courses together, and there are special teachers in special classrooms for elective courses, and you can find teachers when you get to your subjects.

After solving the subject problems, Mr. Qi, the head teacher, spoke a lot of articles in a loud and free manner, which was nothing more than all kinds of matters to be paid attention to in school, school rules and school mottos to be followed, and when all things were explained clearly, the morning passed.

There was an hour's rest at noon, and the children of the Yan family took a carriage back to Yanfu, and it only took a quarter of an hour on the way to go home to eat, take a break in the afternoon, and then return to school to continue the afternoon arrangement.

The focus of the afternoon is to be familiar with the environment of the whole campus by the teacher, and then it is to register personal information, such as height and weight, clothing size, because of the need to make a unified school uniform, and also send out the learning materials to be used in each subject of this semester, some of which are issued by the school, and some of which have to be prepared by the students themselves.

"What does my sister think of the girl's school?" When she went to greet Mrs. Yan in the evening, Mama Zhuang asked Yan Qi with a smile.

"Good. "Yan Qidao.

Honestly, yes. Although the qiē given to women by women's studies is for men, at least it gives women the ability and opportunity to think. Thinking is the most profound, useful and beautiful science.
