Chapter 111: Jinghua Women's School
At the beginning of the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, in order to cultivate talents, the imperial court encouraged cultivation and reading, and various places responded to the imperial edict, and large and small academies were established one after another.

Some of these academies were led by famous scholars, and there were also private donations from wealthy businessmen, as well as genealogy from large families. But these are all private schools, and the only school that is subordinate to the imperial court is Guozixue.
Guozixue is under the jurisdiction of Jinghua Women's School, and officials such as sacrificial wine, priests, doctors, and teachers are appointed by the imperial court to enroll supervisors, instructors, and teaching students.
Guozixue has passed the examination to distinguish the good and the bad, and recruits the children of official families with more than seven grades or particularly outstanding children from poor families. Jinghua Women's School recruits the daughters of officials who are at least 12 years old and above the seventh grade, and they must also pass an examination before they can be enrolled.
The enrollment threshold for the two is extremely high, and unless it is particularly excellent, you can only look at the mountain gate and sigh. can be admitted to the national scholars, nine times out of ten there is a promising career. And the girls who can be admitted to Jinghua Academy almost break their heads when they say goodbye, and there are even particularly outstanding female students who join the school or stay in school as female doctors after graduation.
Because of this, the entrance examination is extremely difficult, and every spring entrance examination, more than half of the students will return home, and they have to choose some privately held colleges.
Of course, there are still many seowon that are very good.
Shen explained these situations to Dugu Weiwei in detail before entering Beijing, and also told her that she would be enrolled when she reached the age of twelve, of course, except for Jinghua Women's School, other academies did not consider it.
But Dugu Weiwei didn't pay attention to the entrance exam at all. Beat Xiao Shen is afraid that she will be energetic and naughty, and let her learn what she should not learn, and take up her full time, so as not to go out and get into trouble.
I learned a lot of things, and I was really not nervous about the matter of grabbing it when I realized it.
Dugu Weiwei stretched out his hand and pinched his cousin's fat face, pulled it to both sides, and said with a smile: "Naturally, you want to enroll, and you must be a Jinghua Girls' School." Your aunt and my mother have said it......"
She cleared her throat and learned Shen's tone and said: "If you can't get into Jinghua Girls' School, you don't need to go to other academies, just go home and wait until you are old to find someone to marry, I can't afford to lose this person, your eldest brother can't afford to lose this person, and your grandfather can't afford to lose this person." ā
Mrs. Shen originally saw his two little girls talking, so he went to the side to ponder the chess game, and when he heard this, he smiled and said: "Your mother is such an adult, and she is as strong as when she was a child, and she can't be worse than others." Tell me that it's okay if you can't pass the exam, doesn't your eldest cousin just haven't passed the exam? ā
Dugu Weiwei smiled: "My grandfather is reasonable, and I have to pass and do well in the exam to add glory to my grandfather." ā
Shen Ling chewed the pastry that he took the opportunity to stuff into his mouth, chewed it, and said slowly: "I also want to take the test." ā
"Can you get in?" Mrs. Shen did not hesitate to hit her granddaughter.
Dugu Weiwei also looked at Shen Ling with distrustful eyes, and followed the mending knife: "I heard that the entrance examination of Jinghua Women's School has to test the six arts of the gentleman, and the six subjects need five first-class to do. ā
Shen Ling frowned, took a bite of horseshoe cake and swallowed it, looking unhurried, "Yes, what should I do? ā
Dugu Weiwei looked at her in surprise: "You can't do three subjects, how can you have the confidence to take the Jinghua Girls' School?"
Shen Ling took it for granted: "Isn't there a big brother, the big brother can teach me." ā
"Are you serious?" asked Dugu Weiwei.
"Really, if you go to Jinghua Girls' School, you can be with your cousin. Shen Linghan said with a smile.
Dugu Weiwei was speechless, what is the reason for this! The spring test is not much effort away from now, can it be too late to hold Buddha's feet temporarily? This kind of thing is not Shen Ling's head is hot, saying that he can take the test if he wants to, and he has not heard his uncle and aunt say how to arrange Shen Ling's study, so he has to ask clearly.
In addition to inheriting the eldest grandson of the family, Mrs. Shen generally does not interfere in the education of the children in the family. Dugu Wei only knew this, so he quit his grandfather and dragged Shen Ling to see his eldest uncle Wang.
Wang listened to their intentions and said with a smile: "When it comes to which academy to study, the family doesn't force ......."
Touching the back of Shen Ling's head, he said: "This girl has been raised a little coquettishly, I didn't think about how good she is with your uncle, it's good to be admitted, it doesn't matter if you can't pass the exam, just be happy." At the beginning, your eldest cousin didn't like to move, and he didn't have two subjects, such as shooting and royal. We didn't say anything. ā
"I have to be admitted so that my cousin can play together. Shen Ling's tone was soft, but the words he said were extremely firm.
Wang Shiwan smiled: "I'm thinking about playing!" Straightened out and nodded on her forehead, "If you want to take the test, you can take the test, you are lazy on weekdays, which one is barely enough, how to take the test?"
"Cousin must have a way to ......" Shen Ling grabbed Dugu Weiwei's arm and smiled stupidly, but his eyes flashed, like a little fox: "Isn't it, cousin? I know that nothing is difficult for my cousin." ā
Dugu Weiwei pulled her hands down, "Don't pour ecstasy soup, I'm the ancestor of ecstasy soup, your set won't work with me." ā
"Cousin---- I know you can do it, you're the best----" Shen Ling raised his hand again and said in a long voice.
Wang just looked at her and smiled, and let Shen Ling pester people.
Dugu Weiwei was so troubled by her, seeing that it was not early, and he was afraid that he would close the door later, so he had to live here. I had to say, "Okay, okay, let me think about ......"
Shen Ling smiled, hurriedly let go of his hand, and sat down obediently.
Dugu Weiwei discussed with the Wang family: "Time is too tight, or let Ah Ling stop the classes in the Mingdemeng Academy and train her weaknesses at home, so there may be some hope." ā
Wang said: "Uncle listens to you, the worst result is that she can't pass the test, and we didn't plan to let her be admitted to the test, just do what you say." ā
"Don't be aunt, you are so reasonable, why do I suddenly feel that a mountain is pressed on my shoulders, if Ah Ling can't pass the exam, how can I see Jiangdong's father!"
"Look at what you said, your aunt is reasonable, and you are still under pressure, so why don't you try to be unreasonable with my aunt?"
"Forget it, you better continue to be reasonable. ā
Dugu Weiwei agreed with the Wang family that tomorrow he would first let his third uncle Shen Lufei, who was in charge of household chores, take Shen Ling to Mingdemeng Academy to resign from his teacher, and the day after tomorrow he would let Amin come over first and teach Shen Ling to ride and shoot during the day, and Shen Taifu would personally teach mathematics in the morning and evening.
Study for a few days to see which subject is too weak, so I simply give up and make time to strengthen the other two subjects.
The two discussed and decided, and the Wang family discussed with Mrs. Shen the next day to report, and Dugu Weiwei left in a hurry. Stepping on the drum beat of the closed door and returning to the house, the old lady and others were anxious, and they asked several times, and only when they saw that someone came back did they order the meal to be opened.
