In the early morning of April 7, 1879, it was a big day for Joey, as he was officially going to school.

At six o'clock in the morning, Joey consciously got up from the bed, and after some washing, sat down in the dining room of the Princess, and had breakfast with his parents, brother, sisters, and sisters, and Sir Gruson.

Crown Prince Frederick took a cup of coffee and said to Wilhelm with a smile, "Willy, I have discussed with your mother, and I am going to invite your Uncle Ernst to Berlin in the next two days. Do we want to hear your thoughts on you and Elizabeth? ”

William's head was buried in a plate of bacon scrambled eggs, and he didn't dare to lift it at all.

Princess Victoria glanced at her smiling husband and said solemnly, "Willy, if you are not satisfied with your parents' arrangement, I think we can cancel this appointment with your uncle." ”

"It's not okay to cancel the appointment, it's not fair to Ella, it will damage her reputation!" William raised his head anxiously, but what he saw was the obvious smile of his parents, William's face turned even redder, and he muttered in a low voice, "Dad, Mommy......."

Sir Grusen looked at William, nodded and said, "Willy has a good eye, Princess Elizabeth seems to be a good girl, very suitable for you!" ”

"Hey, Willy, you're going to wrap my sugar apples, chocolates, and chocolate marshmallows." Joey poked William's arm and said with a grin.

"Don't worry, my good Qiaoqiao, my eldest brother will never forget it for the rest of his life." William winked at Joey.

Crown Prince Frederick saw the interaction between the two brothers, and said to Joey with a smile, "Jojo, today is your first day of going to the Liberal Arts and Science Middle School, and Dad was going to accompany you with Mom, but today is also the day when Dad is going to work on the first day of work at the Ministry of Economy, so I'm sorry Jojo." ”

"Jojo is going to a liberal arts high school?" Sir Gruson looked at the Crown Prince and his wife, and immediately realized something about the past few days, nodded meaningfully and said with a smile, "This is a good thing! ”

"It's okay, it's enough to have my mother take me there." Joey graciously forgave his father, "By the way, Mom, Empress Eugenie will leave Germany this Wednesday, and if you allow me, I would like to see off Her Majesty." ”

With a poof, Princess Victoria couldn't help but laugh out loud at Joey's clumsy excuse, and then immediately retracted her smile and concentrated on the bacon on her plate as if nothing had happened.

When Joey's two younger sisters heard this, they also made a fuss about seeing off their good friends.

Sir Gruson was a little curious, looked at Crown Prince Victoria and asked, "Vicky, when did your Jojo become friends with Queen Eugenie, and you still have to practice for Her Majesty?" ”

Crown Princess Victoria could only shake her head helplessly and said, "Herman, this is all Joey's excuse, he and Princess Eugenie are not friends, last night's ball, my mother-in-law told me that Queen Eugenie wanted to duel with Joey throughout the ball." ”

Then the crown princess turned to look at Joey and said, "Okay, I promised you, you can go and send your good friend Mary, but you have to take care of your two sisters." After that, he turned his head to look at his fifth daughter and asked softly, "Victoria, what do you think of Prince Battenberg last night?" ”

This time it was Princess Victoria's turn to bury her head in the plate.

"Haha!" This time it was Joey's turn to laugh.

"Jojo!" Princess Victoria snorted, "Don't be rude to your sister." Victoria, if you will, your uncle-in-law is the patriarch of the House of Hesse, and I would like to speak to him about it as well. ”

Joy's breakfast on her first day of school is still a continuation of the love story of last night's dance.

At about seven o'clock, Joey set off from the Imperial Palace, carrying a lunch box prepared by the Crown Princess, accompanied by the Crown Princess, to his destination, the Berlin Grammar School.

A horse-drawn carriage without any Hohenzollern royal logo, carrying the Crown Princess and Joey, headed north along the University Straße next to the Humboldt University of Berlin, crossed the River Spree, turned left and headed east at the intersection of the University Straße and Oranienburgstrasse, and finally stopped in front of an I-shaped building near Friedrichstrasse, the Berlin Grammar School, Joey's destination this morning.

The entrance exam for the middle school of arts and sciences, that is, the entrance exam for the 5th grade, is easy for Joey in any case, and after completing the papers, Joey has the feeling of being a top student in his previous life, completely leaving behind the background of completing his master's education in his previous life.

Joy's age belongs to the first stage of education in a liberal arts and science middle school, that is, grades 5 to 10, and the curriculum at this stage is characterized by a wide range of knowledge, whether it is liberal arts or science, science, society, nature, humanities, and international languages and cultures, which is exactly the same as the teaching content of the liberal arts and science middle school that Joey attended in his previous life.

It is not until the second stage of education, that is, grades 11 to 13, that the arts and sciences will be separated. At that time, Joey had to face the problem of course selection, and he had to choose major courses and minors among the three major courses, of which two majors and at least eight minors should be selected.

The second stage is also a stage of accumulating points, which are the only basis for measuring whether you can take the Abitur exam (equivalent to the gaokao).

By the way, from 1 to 5 credits, the fewer the points, the better the grades, and the more points, the worse the grades. If Joey majors and electives in a total of 10 subjects, and each one point is 10 points, then Joey is a veritable top student.

After all the admission procedures were completed, Joey said goodbye to his mother, who was dressed in simple clothes, and joined the Berlin Grammar School as an ordinary person.

Joey's class was small, and there were only twenty people counting Joey, accompanied by his teacher Michelle, and after a brief meeting ceremony, Joey sat down in his assigned position.

A dark-haired teenager beside Joey turned around and stretched out his hand to Joey, and took the initiative to introduce himself, "Hi, Waldemar, my name is Ginter-Quarte, you can call me Ginter, you're welcome." ”

A blonde teenager sitting behind Joey also stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Hi, my Ginter's nemesis, William Merck, you can call me William." ”

"Hi Ginter, hey William, you can call me Joey." Joey responded happily one by one.

As soon as he sat in the classroom, Joey was confronted with the lesson itself. Joey soon realized that what he was learning now was very different from what he had learned in his previous life.

Through the introduction of his new friends, Ginter and William, Joey has a general idea of the main classes to be taking today and even every week.

Three times a week, they were taken by a pudgy teacher named Rita to the greenhouse at the back of the classroom to study botany, learn how to grow various plants and learn what they were used for.

In Ginter's opinion, the most tiresome course is probably the history class, on the one hand, the teacher who teaches is really old enough, especially in the winter, by the warm fireplace, often talking and talking to fall asleep, on the other hand, Mr. Bend keeps talking in a monotonous and boring voice, and the students can only helplessly and scribble down names and dates.

But Joey saw another side from the history lesson that Ginter didn't like, in Joey's previous life, German history had to have a large section of chapters and time to reflect and review the Nazis, but now there is no such paragraph, but the focus is to tell the history of the German federations during the HRE period, which gives Joey a lot of freshness.

The English class was taught by a small teacher from England, Snape, who disliked standing behind a desk during class, and the high lectern in German classrooms usually covered most of his body, showing only one head to look extremely funny. However, Mr. Snape's English accent was not spoken, Joey could hear it as an authentic West London accent, and Mr. Snape's favorite child was Joey's new friend William.

Regarding the homeroom teacher, Mr. Michelle, Joey saw at first glance that this teacher was not easy to deal with. She is strict and intelligent. In Joey's first math class, she gave them a kick-off.

"There's no such thing as an opportunistic approach to mathematics." She said, "Students who don't understand concepts, don't understand the truth, and can only follow the routine will feel very helpless in my class." Also, if anyone dares to be mischievous in my class, I will ask him to go out and punish him, and I have warned you first. ”

Then, instead of picking up the textbook, Mr. Michelle took the handouts and taught a lesson in one go. The advantages and disadvantages of this method of teaching are obvious, as long as you follow her train of thought, even if Joey is already familiar with this knowledge, you can still experience the pleasure of Kudin relieving the cow, and Joey's new friend Ginter also feels this way; Once you can't keep up with her train of thought, then you end up in a state of ignorance for most of the lesson, like another friend of Joey's, William.

The lesson that the whole class really looked forward to was chemistry. Olivia's chemistry teacher did an experiment, she first poured some clear liquid into a test tube, and then asked a classmate to blow air into it with her mouth, and the water magically became cloudy.

The children who saw this for the first time were enthusiastic. When Teacher Olivia asked the children what the principle was, there was a reply to the following twitter.

Joey scratched his head, and naturally understood the chemical principle in it, the liquid that Mr. Olivia poured into the test tube was lime water, and lime water would naturally become turbid when it came into contact with carbon dioxide.

Looking at all this knowledge that he knew, Joey breathed a sigh of relief. Now I can be regarded as a hobby, although there are a lot of things to learn, but basically I have learned before, as long as it is properly reviewed, the eight-year study career of the arts and sciences middle school, it seems that it is not difficult. Well, it's not that hard in the first place.

Time passed quickly, and by one o'clock in the afternoon, Joey's six lessons for the day were over.

In the school cafeteria, Joey has lunch with his new friends Ginter and William.

"What did you think of today's lesson?" Harry asked Ginter as he ate his croissant.

"I enjoyed Mr. Michelle's math class." "But history lesson, oh, I'm really going to fall asleep, and I can only keep myself from falling asleep by desperately taking notes, but Joey, it seems like you're not disgusted with Mr. Bend's lesson." ”

"Hah!" Joey laughed, "I just think his history lessons are new." ”

"Fresh?! Everyone knows this history, what's new? William took a sip of milk and asked puzzled.

"Ginter, William, what are you going to do after school in the afternoon?" Joey decided to divert the conversation.

"Oh, William is like me, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, we are going to help out at my family's company, and the rest of the days we are going to study accounting, French and dance, very busy, Joey, what about your arrangement?" Ginter answered Joey's questions for himself and William.

"Ah, it's the same, I have to go to military training and dance training every Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and I have a bunch of cram schools to attend, and I'm very busy." Joey shrugged.

"Take part in military training, Joey, you are Prussian?" Ginter asked curiously.

"Ah, forget it..... However, I have not completed the reserve officer training, and I am not yet a qualified military Junker, and now I can only say that I will become. Joy said.

"Actually, I also want to participate in officer training, but you know that they have very high recruitment conditions, and the fact that they are not from Juncker has stopped many people." William said helplessly beside him.

"And this rule? The army should not stop hot-blooded young people from joining the army! Joey said in surprise.

"Oh, that's the prerogative of the military Junkers, Joey, how could you not know?" Ginter asked, surprised.

"Oh, it's not a good privilege, it's even a bit stupid, who said that a military Juncker's child must be a good officer, this stupid idea of deciding what to do by descent is unacceptable." Joey said in his heart.

"If the military academy admissions could be made public, I think I would become an excellent general, even a marshal!" William said unconvinced.

"Hats off to the future Marshal Wilhelm!" Joey raised his hand in a salute to William Merck, and the children fought.

After eating a simple lunch of croissants and sausages prepared by the crown princess, Joey said goodbye to his new friends today, Ginter and William. Joey got in the carriage that picked him up and went straight to the Berlin Military Academy on Friedrichstraße in Berlin to report to receive the military education expected of a Prussian aristocrat.

Joey is looking forward to this new course that is about to begin.
