After Yicui lit the lamp, Xu Xi stared at the words and practiced a word carefully, and heard the broadcast of "Congratulations to the host, wisdom value +4" as he wished. At this moment, without Xu Xi's instructions, the system showed the light curtain in front of her very cooperatively, and the points on it really became "150".

"Host, I'll check it out for you. But because the scope is too big and the age is too far away, I need a little longer, maybe a day, maybe a month, you have to be patient and prepared. The system said.

"yes, okay." This Xu Xi can understand. No matter how the system checks it, this kind of old thing is not easy.

"In addition, if it cannot be found, or if it is found that the person is dead, the deducted points will not be refunded." The system said, "whoosh", and the points on the light curtain became "0", and the action was so fast that Xu Xi didn't even react.

Xu Xi was speechless for a moment: "If you don't retreat, you won't retreat, but you must do your best." If I let me know you're slippery, I'm going to be salted. You know, I mean what I say. ”

"No, no, no. I also hope that you can take care of your household chores so that you can concentrate on your studies. In addition, if you are really the daughter of the eldest lady as you guessed, then aren't you the daughter of the Hou Mansion and the daughter of the Hou Lord? How can this identity be compared to Zhao Ruyu? What if she was admitted to the Beijing Women's Academy? How can a foreign adopted daughter compare to you, a daughter in a long house? At that time, even if she marries the second son of Pingnan Hou? You're sure to marry someone better than her. ”

Xu Xi was speechless again. Who the hell set up this system? Why is the mind full of feudal remnants? Do women have to get married? is also boring to compare the status of the person you marry? You cry in the BMW, I laugh after the bike, who is happier in the end?

"Okay. If you want to think so, just think so. She said helplessly. As long as you can seriously check your life experience.

Looking at the light curtain that turned into zero eggs, Xu Xi still wrote two more words, turning the number into "8" before she washed up and fell asleep. At this time, it was only eight or nine o'clock in modern times, but the entire Hou Mansion was already quiet, and everyone had fallen asleep.

If you go to bed early, you wake up early. Xu Xi slept until she woke up naturally, ran to the old lady to say goodbye, had breakfast with her by the way, and took the carriage to the academy, she was still half an hour ahead of the class time like yesterday.

"Miss Xu, why did you come so early?"

The mother-in-law guarding the door was Mama Jiang and Mama Tao who chatted with Xu Xi that day, and Xu Xi stuffed two packs of dim sum for them when she came yesterday, and she was very enthusiastic when she saw Xu Xi at this time.

"I came here when I had nothing to do at home, and it was quite quiet to practice calligraphy in the teaching house." Xu Xi said with a smile.

She deliberately didn't bring snacks to these mothers-in-law today. It's not a good habit to get into the picture. Shengmi endou Mi hate, occasionally give a point, indicating that it will be done.

When she entered the academy, the teaching hall was empty, and she was not afraid, she spread out the paper and polished the ink, and began to practice calligraphy.

I don't know how long I practiced, there was a sudden knock at the door, Xu Xi came back to his senses, looked towards the door, and saw Mrs. Cui standing there.

She quickly put down her pen and stood up, and called: "Master Cui." ”

Mrs. Cui walked in, looked at the handwriting she practiced, and nodded: "Yesterday, Mrs. Xiao praised you for your good handwriting, and it seems that what you said is true." You've put in a lot of work too, not bad. His serious face also became gentle.

"Thank you for your encouragement." Xu Xi Shili.

Seeing Xu Xi's unarrogant and impatient appearance, Mrs. Cui's face became a little gentler.

"I heard from the patrolling mother-in-law that you arrived early, so I came to look for you."

Xu Xi's face showed a puzzled look.

Looking for her? Can I help you?

Mrs. Cui looked outside: "It is estimated that someone will come in a while." Why don't we come to me and talk? ”

"Okay." Xu Xi naturally agreed.

Following Mrs. Cui out of the teaching house, she saw Mama Yun and Xiaoru standing outside. The group walked forward for a while, and Mrs. Cui led the way into a courtyard.

There is not only one courtyard here, but a courtyard, a total of three courtyards, in the shape of a pinzigzag. These courtyards are also not next to each other, and they are separated by a few meters in between.

"This is where I do things with Mrs. Chen." Mrs. Cui took the initiative to explain.

The eldest princess of Shangde only came to see it occasionally, and the specific affairs were all handled by her, Mrs. Chen and others. These places are for them to work and rest.

After entering the main house, the two sat down with dignity and humility, and immediately a maid brought tea.

"I called you here because you did the Four Books and Five Classics test paper yesterday and got the first grade." Mrs. Cui got straight to the point.

The so-called armor is a perfect score.

Seeing that Xu Xi didn't show surprise on his face, as if he was in his chest, Mrs. Cui was slightly surprised, and there was appreciation in her eyes.

"I don't know if you know about the fact that women can participate in the imperial examination?" Mrs. Choi asked.

Xu Xi hurriedly shook his head, stood up and saluted: "Please also ask the master to tell him." ”

When she was there, she only knew that the queen of the crossing had come up with such a system, but she didn't know the specifics.

"Do you know how many women have participated in the imperial examination in the past, how many have passed the examination, and what kind of officials they have done?" Mrs. Choi asked again.

"The students don't know."

Mrs. Cui bowed her head and motioned for her to sit down: "I called you here today to tell you that since Empress Shengyao fought against all the men in the world and won this opportunity for women, for so many years, only twenty-three women have participated in the imperial examination, and in the end, two people who were admitted to Xiucai and one person who were admitted to Juren were admitted to the examination. ”

Because the queen of time traveled so much to this era, after her death, she was given the title of Shengyao, that is, she was like a holy light shining on the earth.

Xu Xi was surprised: "That's it?" But when I think about it, I understand.

The change of traditional concepts does not happen overnight. In modern times, from the Republic of China to before she crossed, for hundreds of years, there are many families in the countryside who think that sending girls to school is losing money, because sooner or later she belongs to someone else's family. It is also because the state has implemented nine-year compulsory education and made it mandatory for every village school-age child to go to school, and the village officials and schools are constantly doing their work, that those parents who are unwilling to send girls to school have succumbed to reality and have to do so.

In ancient times, the cost of studying was already expensive, the Xu family's family was not bad, Xu Yongyi had a small business, and the family still had a field to rent out, and he was reluctant to send Xu Chongwen to school, Xu Xue wanted to study like Xu Chongwen, and it was impossible for the Xu family and his wife to love their daughter to the same extent.

Therefore, here, those who have the conditions to study, their families will not allow them to participate in the imperial examination, and they have no motivation to fight; And those who are from poor families and want to change their fate by their own efforts, can't even afford pen, ink, paper, inkstone and "Three Character Classic", where can they afford to participate in the imperial examination?

The women's academy seems to have won the opportunity for women to receive education, but in fact, it is just a bargaining chip for women in this era to increase their worth and marry a good family. Girls from poor families can't get in, and the cost inside can't afford it, just look at Xu Xue.
