Chapter Eighty-Six: Coming to the College is the Right Choice
When Xu Xue heard these lessons, her eyes lit up, and her words were written with excitement.
She liked to learn things from her uncle when she was a child. But the uncle has to take the imperial examination again, and she is not good to stay at the uncle's house often, and she has no opportunity to study. Now that she has the opportunity to have contact, she is too happy in her heart.
Then Mrs. Cui talked about the things to prepare for these subjects.
"The Four Books and the Five Classics, Women's Virtue, Law, and History Books can be bought outside or in the academy; It's the same with musical instruments; In addition, the same is true of the cloth, silk thread and other things in the female red. As for the pens, paints, and paper used to learn calligraphy and painting, everyone has to be ready. ”
After Mrs. Cui finished talking about these miscellaneous things, she signaled to her mother-in-law and handed out the test paper to everyone: "Now give you a test." ”
"Huh?" Everyone exclaimed, "What are you testing?" ”
"Silence!" Mrs. Cui had a serious face, but at this moment, the teaching hall suddenly quieted down, and she continued, "Take the four books and five classics. The academy should find out the level of mastery of the Four Books and the Five Classics, so that the number of teaching hours of the masters can be arranged in a targeted manner, and the masters should also know your level in mind. ”
Everyone wailed in their hearts, and they didn't dare to make any more noises in their mouths, so they had to express their inner collapse to their peers with expressions.
Of course, there are also some people who are confident and show a look of expectation.
When Xu Xi was in Xiaorong Village, because there was no copybook, he used the Four Books and Five Classics books copied by Xu Yongzeng himself to practice the copybook. Worried that the girls' academy exam would test these contents, she memorized all these books in addition to practicing calligraphy.
Xueba's memory is not covered, although these books are obscure, but the number of words is not very much, and she spent a lot of brain cells to memorize the books. At this time, she was extremely glad that she had done this part of the homework.
The girls' academy's exam this time is to find out, and the basic ones are memorization and fill in the blanks. Even if there is a little paraphrasing of the topic, it is not difficult to come up with more famous and simple sentences. It's just that the amount of questions is larger than in the entrance exam, and the test covers a wider range.
Xu Xi scanned the question first, and felt that he could do it, so he wrote it carefully one stroke at a time. Thirty words are counted as a piece of calligraphy, and now she has finished writing this test paper carefully, and she can also get a few points for a few words, which can be described as a test and practice, and writing carefully can also leave a good impression on the master who marks the paper, which is simply a triple win. With such a question, there is quite plenty of time for a stick of incense, and it is no problem to write carefully.
Xu Xi praised his wit.
Sure enough, after Xu Xi filled in a few blanks, the voice of broadcasting the wisdom value sounded as scheduled. Accustomed to listening to this voice, Xu Xi will not be disturbed by it at all, and continues to work on the question without any thoughts.
Halfway through the question, Xu Xi raised his head and glanced at the incense burning in front of him.
The benefits of sitting in the middle of the first row are revealed. If you sit in the last row and want to see where the incense burning in front of you is, it is simply impossible. Now the incense was not far from Xu Xi, and she could clearly see that the incense was now burning a little up.
She looked down at the number of questions and felt that it was more than enough to finish the questions at such a speed, so she continued to concentrate on the exam.
After all the questions were written, Xu Xi looked up at the incense, and found that there was still a little time, so he checked the test paper again, and found that there were no mistakes or omissions, so he had the leisure to ask the system: "How many points did I earn just now?" ”
The system's voice was unprecedentedly pleasant: "Host, coming to the academy to study is really the most correct choice, you have earned a total of thirty-two points just now." This is mainly because you didn't write some words well just now, and you only got two points for one word, otherwise there could be more. ”
You must know that even if Xu Xi has time to practice calligraphy, he has not practiced for an hour. Every time she practices a word, she not only has to stop and take a look, but also ponder which words are well written and which ones are not good; After practicing a few articles, I have to put down the pen and twist my neck, go out to see the green plants, rest and rest my eyes, and make the system's heart jam.
It's good now, someone will cure her.
Xu Xi rolled his eyes in his heart: "Don't think about this kind of beautiful thing." Usually the master lectures, I listen below, and I don't have a chance to write a word for half a day. Even calligraphy classes are the same, not to mention Go classes and musical instrument lessons, which don't even need to mention the pen, so it's impossible to brush calligraphy points. There are so many points at such an hour, and only the exam of the Four Books and Five Classics is like this. And the exam, once every six months. ”
The system almost cried out with a "wow", but finally held back, and pretended to be calm: "Oh, in that case, I'm afraid your life history will only be checked in a month." "Hmph, it's not the one that's in a hurry anyway.
Xu Xi raised his eyebrows. This guy has also learned to pinch her.
"It's okay, isn't the old lady investigating? Maybe I didn't need to spend a single point, and she would find out. ”
The system choked again.
"When the time comes, everyone should sit down and don't move, and you can't continue to write." Mrs. Cui saw that the incense was burned, stood up, and gestured behind her, and several maids began to collect the test papers one by one.
After the test papers were collected, Mrs. Cui neatly led the maids away.
There is a quarter of an hour's break halfway through.
As soon as Mrs. Cui left, there was a lot of discussion in the teaching hall, lamenting that she had not done well in the exam just now, and that she had not done any questions. This familiar scene made Xu Xi can't help but feel nostalgic for her modern classmates.
Xu Xi saw Xu Xue's sad face and asked her, "You didn't do well in the exam?" ”
"Hmm." Xu Xue was not worried about this, sighed, and looked at Xu Xi, "I never thought that there would be so much cost to study here." ”
She counted on her fingers: "I have to buy a set of various books; For calligraphy and painting, you also need to buy a special pen, and you need to buy a lot of paper and paints; Musical instruments have to be bought; I also have to buy a lot of silk and silk thread to make women's red. She sighed, "I don't know how much it will cost." ”
She knew that this women's academy was not something that girls like them could afford.
"So you have to hurry up and write your notebook, don't be sluggish. No matter how well it is written, write it first and then talk about it. Xu Xi said.
She could see that Xu Xue had encountered difficulties in writing and was a little reluctant. It's one thing to love, and it's beautiful to imagine, but when you really want to write, it's like a dry sponge that can't squeeze out water, and it's very uncomfortable.
But who didn't start writing like that? If you retreat in the face of difficulties, you will never be able to write your words. Not only writing a script, but also other things, everything is difficult at the beginning!
Now that these expenses are out, it can be regarded as a shot of strength for Xu Xue, and there is pressure to be motivated.
