Chapter 12 Is it okay to find gold?
Xu Xue was even more nervous by Xu Xi.
Xu Xi patted her: "Anyway, you didn't plan to come to school, even if you didn't get in, you don't have any loss, right?" Relax, just come and take a stroll, see the world, if not, let's go back. ”
Xu Xue is innocent and lively, and she is quite heartless. As soon as she heard Xu Xi's words, she really relaxed, and said with a smile: "Yes, I'm just here to play, and I don't plan to go to school anyway." ”
Xu Yongyi looked at his daughter like this, and he couldn't do it in his heart.
If he didn't pay so much attention to the girls' academy at the beginning, the cost of the two girls' education was like a big stone, weighing on his heart, making him feel that even if he couldn't get in, it was nothing, at least it didn't cost money. But now that he saw so many people squeezing their heads to enter here, his mind changed.
What everyone grabs must be a good thing.
The women's academy has been established for so long, and the examination rules in it will inevitably be spread, and the clothes on the three of Xu Xi are neither gorgeous nor shabby, and they are ordinary in a group of people, so they did not encounter anything strange in the process of waiting, let alone anyone who ridiculed them for shabby.
And with so many people gathered outside, everyone deliberately suppressed the tone of their voices, and the scene was not noisy.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, I heard a "bang", and the door of the girls' academy was not opened, but someone came out of the corner gate next to it.
It was two people who came out.
The person in front of her was a middle-aged woman in her forties, wearing a green silk dress, with only a silver hairpin on her head, dressed very plainly, with a long face, a tight mouth, and a stern expression, quite like Xu Xi's modern teaching director's posture.
Behind her was a mother-in-law, dressed as a subordinate, with long shoulders and a round waist, thinking that she was here to protect the safety of the middle-aged woman.
As soon as the middle-aged woman came out, Xu Xi heard someone exclaim in a small voice: "Ah, it's Mrs. Cui." ”
Someone else discussed: "Ah, why is Mrs. Cui presiding over the exam this time?" ”
"She's the toughest."
Madame Choi obviously had a very good ear, and she seemed to hear the chatter, and her eyes looked straight at those who were talking about her, and then glanced around.
Soon, the crowd moved from point to point, and the three or four hundred people standing around the academy quickly shut up, and the scene suddenly fell silent.
Only then did Mrs. Cui speak: "The exam is coming in, and the idle people are waiting outside." ”
With that, she turned around and took her mother-in-law into the door.
The door was still closed, except for the corner door where Mrs. Choi had entered; I don't know when a table and two chairs have been placed next to the corner door, and a woman in her thirties and twenties is sitting on a chair, facing everyone, and there is a sign on the table that reads: Please submit your identity documents when you enter.
Obviously, the place that Mrs. Cui said let everyone "fish in" is this corner gate.
The people outside the door, you look at me, I look at you, you push me, no one wants to be the first to enter the door, as if the person who enters the door first will be eaten by the person inside.
Xu Xiyi pulled Xu Xue's wrist: "Let's go, let's go first." ”
Xu Xue was surprised. In her opinion, everyone pushes me to let me, and it may not be a good thing to go in first. Xu Xi is ahead of the curve, isn't he stupid?
She was about to dissuade her, but she heard Xu Yongyi say: "Listen to your sister." ”
Xu Xue immediately shut up, obediently followed Xu Xi to the gate, and then entered the door together.
The woman in her thirties took the paperwork in their hands and looked at it, and reported their names loudly: "Xu Xi of Xiaorong Village, Xu Xue of Xiaorong Village." ”
The one in his twenties took a pen and wrote the names of the two on a piece of paper.
The person who pushed me outside the door watched the situation, was silent for a while, and immediately rushed up, scrambling to be the third to enter the door. There is the quick-eyed one, and he quickly grabbed the position and entered the door; And those who can't push others, or look aggrieved and forbearing, or scold in a low voice, and avoid the side.
The women's academy is not only a channel for advancement, but also a way to raise your value. The queen who founded the academy set a rule, not to enter the academy through the back door with her family background and identity, and only through the examination is the only way to enroll, so some daughters of powerful families will also come to take the exam in order to raise their worth and marry a good family.
At this time, there was the powerful family, and a few strong women stood at the door, blocked others with their strong bodies, and forced a way to let their own young lady in. When the young lady went in, the mothers-in-law left.
When encountering this kind of person, ordinary girls dare not speak out, so they can only endure their anger and avoid it. Some people with bad temperament scolded and scolded in a low voice, and their faces were full of resentment; Some looked envious. There is also that cowardly person, who didn't dare to say a word when he was stepped on, so he had to bite his lower lip with tears in his eyes......
It's just to go to the exam, but because it is a small corner gate that enters, countless good shows have been staged.
The college examiner hidden in the crowd took a look at all these situations one by one. Whoever is the first to enter the door, who has a quarrel because of the scramble, who shows resentment because of the unintentional actions of others, and who has any special actions...... Because the woman who was guarding the door gave their names in a loud voice, the examiner wrote them down.
There are five or six such examiners.
Except for the examiners who participated in the assessment in the academy and Xu Xi, who guessed part of the truth through analysis, no one thought that the examination in the academy was just a disguise, and the most important exam was held on the venue outside the corner gate.
The general ancient buildings have their own rules of construction, and the buildings on the central axis of the main gate are all tall and dignified important places, and these buildings can be crossed from the hall.
I don't know if this women's academy is built according to the rules, or because they came in from the corner gate instead of the gate, Xu Xi and Xu Xue found that it was a small road, winding and winding, and what appeared in front of them was not lush flowers and trees, or an arch, or a house, so that they often had the feeling of "the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village".
Fortunately, whenever there is a fork in the road, there are signs indicating which way they are going.
"Ah, it's beautiful." Xu Xue looked at these scenery and couldn't help but admire.
Xu Xi was about to speak, when he heard Xu Xue exclaim: "Sister, look, is there a purse on the ground?" ”
Xu Xi looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a purse lying quietly at the root of a cluster of bamboos in front of her. Perhaps because he was worried that someone would not be able to see, this purse was sewn with bright red silk and embroidered with green lotus leaves and white lotus flowers, which was very exquisite.
Xu Xi suspected that this was an exam question.
What a noble character.
