CHAPTER XXIII
In any case, at this moment, the four children were sitting in the carriage in an orderly manner, except for Tang Yuehan, the other three people were a little nervous and a little excited at the moment.
The school was located at the foot of the imperial city, a street away from the palace, so the young princes and princesses studied with the children of the family in the school.
The rule of the Great Chu State is that after the princesses reach the age of twelve, they will pick a few ladies who have a good game and bring them back to the palace to study together.
After the age of fifteen, the princes can choose whether to enter the Hanlin Academy to continue their studies, or directly follow the older princes to contact the affairs of the court.
The school soon arrived, and after the four of them got out of the carriage, they looked at the simple gate of the school in front of them for a long time, and Tang Yuehan was the first to walk over.
The school stipulates that the children of the family can only bring a personal maid or servant to school, and many subordinates are not allowed to enter, Tang Yuehan thought about it and finally brought calligraphy and ink, Tang Yueqi brought the maid who knew some kung fu sent by Cui Lingrong that day, and Tang Yuelin and Tang Yuehao both brought a subordinate casually.
When they arrived at the school, an old man in a gray robe came, Tang Yuehan and the four of them bowed to the old man and saluted, the old man nodded when he saw this, and the students who knew the number of etiquette were always good.
"I am your examiner today, the old man's surname is He, the people of Qingmen City, the four of you come with me. Mr. He made a brief self-introduction and led the four of them to a relatively closed room.
There were exactly four low long tables in the room, and the academies and schools of the Chu State were all kneeling on the ground. At the suggestion of He Lao, the four of them each found a table and then knelt down and sat down.
He Lao cleared his throat and said: "Today is the entrance exam, and it depends on the results of today's exam on what age students you will study with in the future, so you must answer the questions carefully when you take the exam in a while." ”
Seeing that Tang Yuehan and the four of them nodded, He Lao continued: "Female students need to test poems and couplets, as well as suggestions and opinions on difficult issues in the court. ”
Tang Yuehan and Tang Yueqi replied yes, He Lao turned to Tang Yuelin and Tang Yuehao and said: "Men also need to test poetry and couplets, suggestions and views on the problems left in the court, and also need to test the art of war, as well as the affairs of the people. ”
Finally, he thought about it and said: "The old man knows that the four are from the General's Mansion, and if they need to learn martial arts together in the future, they can also write it down." ”
After finishing speaking, without waiting for the four of them to say anything, he sent a thick pile of paper to Tang Yuehan and the four of them, and then lit incense and said: "There is a total of four incense sticks, please ask the four students to start answering the questions seriously." ”
Tang Yuehan flipped through the "test papers", the paper at this time was still relatively rough, the size was like A4 paper, this set of "test papers" used more than a dozen sheets of paper of this size, and then used threads to bind them into the appearance of a book, becoming a set of "test papers".
Tang Yuehan looked at the test questions carefully, most of the poems were written by poets of the previous dynasty in the past hundred years, and what Tang Yuehan needed to answer was the meaning of the poet's poems, which was somewhat similar to the Chinese and classical Chinese exams in his previous life.
Couplets are sentences that have the upper sentence on the test paper, and students are required to write the next sentence created by themselves, and even some sentences that have not been perfectly matched for hundreds of years, which is intended to test students' literary skills.
As for the problems in the court, they are simple problems of disaster prevention, Tang Yuehan has read all the history books since he was a child, even if he can't do practical work, the theoretical knowledge is also learned.
This entrance exam is quite simple for Tang Yuehan, who has memories of two lives, and even took the college entrance examination in her previous life, in her previous life, she was admitted to the Literature Department of Jinghua Film Academy, and she was the first student in the cultural class among the art candidates of that year, and her college entrance examination score directly passed the first line by several points.
For Tang Yuehan, what is a little difficult is the couplet, after all, he was a modern person in his previous life, and he didn't need much knowledge of couplets, and he liked martial arts in this life, and he had never seriously studied the verses and couplets of Fenghua Xueyue.
Fortunately, Tang Yuehan used to read a lot of books in the Divine Doctor Valley, and the types were miscellaneous, not only medical books in the Divine Doctor Valley, but also the formation and art of war, and there were also a lot of poems, and even the books that had been lost were a little.
Thanks to many years of study and life in the Divine Medicine Valley, Tang Yuehan finished a set of "test papers" seriously in the time of three incense sticks.
Turning to the last two blank pages, Tang Yuehan hesitated and wrote that he knew how to be a doctor and a martial artist, and also wrote down several medical books that he had read that the world had seen, such as "Hundred Medicinal Messages" and "Miscellaneous Diseases", and then wrote down the military books he had read.
As for the formation or something, there are very few people who know the formation in this world, most of them are scattered people or reclusive monks, even if they write down, there is no possibility of continuing to study, but it will attract too much attention, Tang Yuehan did not write it.
I read it carefully and carefully, and confirmed that there were no errors or other problems on the test paper, so I handed the test paper to He Lao, who saw that Tang Yuehan finished answering the question, and read it again, this habit is very good, and I feel a little more fond of it.
Tang Yuelin also handed in the test questions not long after, and he stayed in the study to read books every day, and these questions were easy for him, but he wrote more about the topic of the people about the court, so he handed it in a moment late.
Tang Yueqi only loves poetry and songs, and he doesn't know anything about things in the court, and when he saw that Tang Yuehan and Tang Yuelin had handed in the papers, he immediately panicked, anxious but couldn't write anything, but he shook his head when he saw it.
Tang Yuehao is broken jar, for him, letting him sit quietly and read the poems and songs is simply his life, not to mention the couplet, except for the art of war and the affairs of the court and the people, the next ones are all casually answered.
In the end, Tang Yueqi handed in the paper when the four incense sticks burned out, and He Lao was very displeased with such students who were not firm-minded, and his face was not revealed, but in the end, his attitude was a lot colder.
"After today's exam, you can go back, and when you come tomorrow, the old man will take you to meet the teacher who will be responsible for teaching you in the future. After He Lao finished speaking, he left with the test papers.
Tang Yuehan and the four of them looked at each other, and finally left the academy obediently and returned to the general's mansion.
When he returned to the general's mansion, it was only noon, and Cui Lingrong left four children and two aunts to eat in the main courtyard.
After the meal, Tang Yueqi followed Aunt Wang back to the courtyard, leaving Aunt Song and the three children. Cui Lingrong asked how the entrance exam was.
Tang Yuehan said with a smile: "Mother don't worry about me, I can still deal with the poetry couplets in the test, I can also say one or two questions in the court, I should take the test well, there is no problem with learning with people of the same age, and I will never embarrass the general's mansion." ”
Tang Yuelin is also full of confidence: "Mother, my son has been good at writing since he was a child, and the content of the exam, my son must be able to answer well." ”
However, Tang Yuehao was entangled, looked at Cui Lingrong and said: "Mother, I won't say it, I don't like poetry and songs, I haven't read much since I was a child, but I took a lot of poems and couplets, I was dizzy to watch, fortunately, there is a military art formation behind, otherwise I would really be embarrassed by the general's mansion." ”
