The news that the entrance examination of Jinling Women's University was difficult soon spread throughout the three towns of Wuhan!

The parents and family members of more than 300 girls who have passed the preliminary examination are all a little restless all of a sudden. One of them is a bit of a way, and I went through various channels to get a copy of Princess Nissa's exam papers. At first glance, it was dumbfounded.

It's too hard and too deep!

Many of the exam questions are not something that female middle school graduates can do, and they can be used to test students!

But you said it was difficult, and everyone answered it, three doors scored 100 points, one course scored 85 points, and four papers scored 385 points! It is said that Wuyi scored 85 points, Yinyu scored 95 points, and the interview scored 60 points, for a total of 625 points (out of 660)!

The girls who had thoughts about the position of the crown princess and their parents were both worried and happy!

I'm worried because I'm afraid I'll fail the exam...... This time it's a lifetime exam! There is no repetition, and there is no place to study abroad, and if you fail the exam, you will have to mistake for life!

As for the rejoicing, it is because Princess Nissa does not participate in the competition of the crown princess, and the family has already been booked by the crown prince and his father.

But without Princess Nissa to compete, no one else dares to take it lightly. Just ten days before the official start of the women's university exam, Wuhan Taixue students suddenly became very popular, and they were all invited by big people with heads, faces and daughters to be make-up teachers.

The old textbooks of the Army's martial arts hall are also popular, and people who have a way want to get them to hug the Buddha's feet for the girl who is taking the exam - but except for the young lady of the Jiangmen family who has heard and witnessed it since she was a child and is very familiar with the military, no one else can understand it! At most, it's better to have a good memory and memorize all the books than to know nothing!

Just when the parents of more than 300 candidates were busy because of the sudden increase in the difficulty of the exam, the Ming Emperor issued an edict to take the blessed king Zhu Ciwei as the left secretary of the Jinling female university, and Pan Shuchen, the governor of the East Factory, concurrently served as the right secretary of the female university, and ordered the two to be responsible for presiding over the re-examination of the entrance examination of the women's university.

At the same time, Zhu Cihong also announced the time and subjects of the "college entrance examination" through an edict.

This time, the "college entrance examination" will be divided into a written test and an interview, of which the written test will start on the morning of May 15 in the 20th year of Hongxing and end on the afternoon of May 17. Fifteen of them were examined in Confucianism, that is, philosophy; 15 afternoons to take the arithmetic exam; On the morning of the 16th, the French test was taken; On the afternoon of the 16th, Kaog Physics; On the 17th, the martial arts test was conducted all day. From the 18th to the end of the month, it was an interview - Zhu Cihong interviewed all the girls who passed the re-examination and were eligible to become the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family. Candidates who are not qualified to become the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family (surnamed Zhu or not the people of the Ming Dynasty) also have to participate in the interview, but not by Zhu Cihong in person, but by Zhu Cihong in charge of the interview.

In other words, this time the "college entrance examination" does not test military science, but only martial arts.

The test scores of each subject have also been announced, Confucianism, arithmetic, French, Gewu, martial arts, and interviews, the full score is 100 points, and the total score is 600 points!

The number of students admitted to the first phase of Jinling Women's University was also announced at the same time, no more, no less, only 200 people will be selected, and they will be divided into 4 classes, all of which will go to Jinling Women's University in Yingtianfu to study. Accommodation will be provided and students will also be allowed to go on day.

The length of the school year was also announced in the edict, which was four years and allowed students to continue their studies after marriage......

As for the questions of the four exams of Confucianism, arithmetic, French, and Gewu, they were all personally produced by Emperor Zhu, so guess if you have the ability!

Finally, Emperor Zhu also announced in this edict that all candidates who are the people of the Ming Dynasty, those who are not surnamed Zhu, and those who are not cousins of the prince, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, will have the opportunity to pass this exam and become the crown prince and concubine of the Ming Dynasty - as long as she can be ranked first!

The edict on the entrance examination of Jinling Women's University is a public edict, that is, it is publicly published in the newspaper to "report to the world".

In fact, the enrollment of Jinling Women's University has been tossed for a long time, but it has never "reported to the world", but has just sent the will to the few girls' schools and Ying Tianxungui in various places. and did not explicitly say that he would "take an exam for life", and he did not publicly say that the first person in the entrance examination of the women's university was the crown princess.

So as soon as this edict came out, of course, the whole country was shocked!

The position of the crown princess can be "won by the one with the highest score", this is not the top prize in the exam? Now there are no champions in the Ming Dynasty - Zhu Cihong changed the imperial examination to an official examination, and no longer organizes "promotional" imperial examinations, and of course there are no ministry, palace examinations and point champions that attract attention from all over the world.

Now there are three ways for Ming officials (civil officials) to come, one is to organize official examinations by themselves by the ministries and provincial government yamen under the supervision of the Ministry of Officials (the Ministry of Officials is supervised by the Procuratorate); The second is that the graduates of the 15 universities supervised by the Ministry of Rites are exempted from the examination to become officials (there are 15 universities in the country, and there are about 1,500 graduates in a year, which is very rare!). ）； The third is that there are retired military attaches who have been transferred to civilian information (they must be graduates of the army and navy military academy to transfer to civilian services).

No matter what kind of way you come, it is not easy to ascend to the "Tianzi Hall" (officials who are qualified to participate in the Great Dynasty Meeting), you must pass layers of tests, show political achievements, make fewer mistakes, and have a certain amount of official luck...... Chao is Tianshelang, and the good thing of the twilight Tianzi Hall no longer exists!

But now there is a matter of being a student sister and a princess at dusk...... Can it not be stunning?

When most of the subjects of the Ming Empire couldn't figure out what Emperor Zhu was thinking, the future first-generation female college students of the Ming Dynasty had arrived at the examination room accompanied by their families.

Ding Yuying is one of the few girls who participated in this exam, on the day of May 15, just after the fourth watch, the sky was still dark, she had already gotten up, first played the boxing technique given to her by Pan Shuchen, and then took out a Kaiyuan bow, and began to practice archery - she didn't know martial arts, but after living in Pan Shuchen's house in the Yamen of Dongchang, she learned archery with Pan Shuchen, and also learned a set of boxing techniques to strengthen the body, and also learned simple knife skills, and also learned a little equestrian skills (she could have ridden a horse). In order to get more points in the martial arts exam, she has been getting up every morning to practice in the past few months, rain or shine! Even if it snows heavily, she will practice hard, and this ruthlessness is worthy of the nickname of "Little Ding Peeling", but her father is picking other people's skins, and she is picking her own skins.

Pan Shuchen was not optimistic about this girl who had no foundation, but he was moved by her hard work, and he also thought of what happened to him back then...... He was born as a eunuch, so you can imagine what the situation in the family is! can have today's status, of course, he is also a ruthless person who is willing to endure hardships.

However, he also knows that martial arts can't be achieved quickly, and the daughters of other people's noble generals are all hard work, how can Ding Yuying fight with others? For a few months, it's useless to train yourself to death.

So he formulated a make-up method for Ding Yuying to promote his strengths and avoid his weaknesses - he had to practice martial arts, otherwise he would get zero points. But you can't expect to get a high score in martial arts, you must put your limited experience in the place where you can get the most points.

For this reason, Pan Shuchen also invited a master from Wuhan Taixue to make up lessons for Ding Yuying. This gentleman also has real skills, and after some investigation, he found that Ding Yuying's mathematics and Confucianism are good, but her French is too poor - she is studying in a private women's school, and it is also a private women's school in Huguang, and her education level is very poor.

Ding Yuying is the number one student in school, so mathematics and Confucianism are okay, and there are still people who can teach these two subjects, but if they can't do it, they can still learn by themselves. But I can't speak French...... There's no gentleman to teach, and there's no way to teach yourself, and you don't even have a radio these days, isn't it bad?

So this gentleman made up French for Ding Yuying, and after a few months, this little girl's French has reached the point where she can talk to the French!

When Ding Yuying finished practicing archery, the sky was already cloudy and bright, Pan Shuchen had already gotten up, washed up, dressed neatly, stood under the porch with his hands behind his back, looked at the little girl who was packing up the bow and arrows and sighed softly - this girl is a piece of beautiful jade! It's a pity that there wasn't enough time to carve it......
