Chapter 207: Kun Yuan
Mrs. Wei and the others rested for a while, had lunch, and then set off back to the General's Mansion. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info There are too many cars and horses on the way back to the city, and the road for an hour is stunned to walk for two and a half hours to arrive.
Everyone was tired, and after returning home, they went back to their own courtyards, and dinner was also sent to their respective courtyards by the large kitchen. At the time of E, a mother-in-law arrived at the Yusheng Pavilion.
"The general invited Miss Yu to Nanyuan."
Yu Nianniang didn't know what else Wei Hongshan was looking for at this time?
When the wind rose at night, she put on a cloak and took Mother Sun and Linglong to the South Courtyard.
There were only Mrs. Wei and Wei Hongshan in the house, and Mother Wei stood aside to serve.
Yu Nianniang saluted the two.
Wei Hongshan handed her the things in his hand: "In the morning, a notice was posted outside the Kun Courtyard, and all the people on the list went to get the entrance examination card. I thought that you followed the old lady and the lady to the Heavenly Master Temple, and when you came out of the palace in the afternoon, I picked it up for you. ”
Yu Nianniang opened the things in her hand and took a look, a small square rice paper, three big characters in the middle of the top "entrance examination card", and the time of the entrance examination was written in the lower two rows, that is, tomorrow morning. The location is in Kun Yuan. The bottom row is marked with precautions: you need to dress neatly and be in good spirits!
"General Xie." Yu Nianniang put the entrance examination card into the sleeve cage.
Then Wei Hongshan took out a letter of recommendation to her: "This is a letter of recommendation for you, when the time comes, you will show this letter to the examiner first, and I guess it won't be too difficult for you at that time." Then he told her: "The examiners and teachers of the Kun Academy are all Heavenly Masters of the Heavenly Dao Academy, and you must respect them." ”
Yu Nianniang said lightly: "Yes." But in my heart I didn't think so.
When she returned to Yusheng Pavilion, Yu Nianniang put the entrance examination card at the head of the bed and gave the recommendation letter to Mother Sun: "Put it away." ”
"Yes." Mother Sun is as good as a stream.
Their girls have real skills, so they don't need this letter of recommendation!
The next day, Yu Nianniang got up early, went to the yard to exercise as usual, and then had breakfast, Mother Sun helped to re-freshen and take care of it, changed into a plain white robe, put a single snail on her head, wore a pink velvet flower, and put the entrance examination card away.
Said to Mother Sun and Linglong: "The Hexagram Pavilion has been opened, you can't close it every day, one of you goes to Kun Yuan with me, and one person goes to the Hexagram Pavilion, if someone wants to divination, you can make an appointment with him and come back the next day." ”
The two should go down.
Old man Sun knew the way, and first sent Sun's mother to the Hexagram Gallery, and then took Yu Nianniang and Linglong to Kunyuan.
Kunyuan is in a quiet courtyard near the imperial city, and it is very convenient to go back to the general's mansion from the palace, as Wei Hongshan said.
Kunyuan is a three-entry quadrangle, with several century-old trees inside, and the dense branches and leaves on the canopy can be seen on the street outside.
Linglong helped Yu Nianniang get out of the carriage, there was a little boy standing at the gate, Yu Nianniang gave the entrance examination card to the child, the child glanced at Yu Nianniang in surprise, and then made a gesture of invitation to her, and stopped Linglong, and said: "Only the girl can enter." Go in and go straight to the Tianzi classroom. ”
Yu Nianniang nodded to Linglong. Alone in Kun Yuan.
The grounds are quiet and peaceful, with a gravel path leading straight ahead, lined with several peach and cherry trees. At this time, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the ground is full of white petals.
Yu Nianniang walked directly to the front of a row of houses along the stone road, and just happened to see a house with a sky number plate and a house with a ground number plate.
Presumably this is what the boy called the classroom.
She walked towards the Tianzi classroom.
There was a lectern at the front of the class, and several rows of tables and stools underneath, and there were already nine men sitting in it.
Seeing Yu Nianniang, all nine people looked at it in surprise. Yu Nianniang was also stunned, she didn't expect that there were so many people sitting in the silence, and then she naturally found a place to sit down at the back.
Looking at Yu Nianniang's posture, you know that she is here to enter the Kun Academy.
The entrance exams in several temples and Kunyuan are all men, and no women have ever entered. The nine people looked back at Yu Nianniang one after another. Yu Nianniang's face was indifferent and her expression was calm.
Everyone withdrew their gaze.
After a while, a little boy walked in from outside, glanced indoors and left, and in a moment, a plain man wearing a wooden hairpin and holding a book in his hand walked in.
Everyone straightened their backs.
The plain-robed man's eyes swept over everyone in the room, and his gaze paused on Yu Nianniang, and then moved away. He slowly put the book on the lectern, looked at everyone indifferently, raised his hand, and said, "My master's surname is Feng." ”
The people in front got up one after another, and Yu Nianniang had no choice but to get up and raise her hand to return the salute: "Feng Tianshi!" ”
Feng Tianshi nodded to everyone with a kind face and motioned to sit down. Then he opened the book, took out a few pieces of paper from it, walked down slowly, and while sending the paper to a few people, he said: "Since everyone wants to enter the Kun Courtyard, then do this test question first." ”
"This year's entrance examination is a little different from previous years, and I won't give you the rest of the month, so I will go back and take a closer look at what I am sending to everyone. The Cold Food Festival is coming, only give you two days, come and hand in the paper early the day after tomorrow! ”
"Turning in the paper does not mean that the work is over, on the day of the Winter Food Festival, there may be temporary exam questions, if you are really knowledgeable, no matter how tricky the questions are, you don't have to be afraid of ......"
Feng Tianshi handed the paper to Yu Nianniang, Yu Nianniang took it with both hands, and she quickly skimmed the content on the paper, asking to calculate the day and location of the Cold Food Festival, as well as the seating arrangement.
This is a test of astronomical phenomena and deduction!
Although Yu Nianniang's is a special function, when she first started studying, she also deliberately read the Book of Changes, Sixty Hexagrams, and these metaphysical books, so this exam question is not difficult for her, and it is easier than divination in the cold food festival with many people.
The corners of Yu Nianniang's mouth couldn't help but hook.
Feng Tianshi glanced at her, turned around and walked back, and continued: "If you are lucky enough to pass, the Kun Academy will try its best to teach you, the Heavenly Dao Academy selects talents every three years, and if you learn well, you will have the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Dao Academy at that time." At that time, you didn't have to study hard for ten years, and you didn't need to take the imperial examination, you would have become a master! ”
The words made everyone excited.
Feng Tianshi returned to the lectern and looked at everyone lightly: "Okay, you guys can go by yourself." Then he took the book and left.
As soon as Feng Tianshi left, everyone took the exam questions and got up to go home.
Yu Nianniang walked slowly at the back, and those who knew each other in front of her quietly discussed the exam questions while walking, and talked about Yu Nianniang as she spoke.
"Why are there still women taking the entrance exam? Could it be that now women also like the way of heaven? ”
"The imperial court doesn't stipulate that women can't enter the Heavenly Dao Academy, so it's okay. However, women have always been in the boudoir, and it's okay as weekday entertainment, but there is really no one who is studying in Kun Academy. ”
"Have you heard that a while ago there was a woman divining in front of the emperor in the Taihe Palace......
"What, really?"
"It's true, many court ministers know about this...... Oops, that's a great skill......"
