Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Academy's List
At the other end of Xiaorong Village, as soon as Mama Ruan and Mama left, Xie complained to Xu Xi: "What are you talking about?" The girl's family, can't the temperament be softer? If you have to go back to the Hou Mansion, you are like this, and the elders don't like it. At that time, your life in the Hou Mansion will not be easy. ”
Xu Xi said with a smile: "If I don't make it clear now, when I go back to the Hou Mansion and toss again, I will be even more uncomfortable." And my temperament is like this, if those people in the Hou Mansion can't stand it, don't take me back as soon as possible. Anyway, I won't look at their faces and live my life. If you really want to make me angry, I will stay in the academy and not go back, or simply come back. ”
She stepped forward, grabbed Xie's arm, and said coquettishly: "Auntie, you won't want me, will you?" ”
She has the memory of the original owner, and she is close to Xu Yongyi and the Xie family, and there is no emotional barrier at all.
She was so coquettish, Xie couldn't help laughing, pointed Xu Xi's forehead with his finger, and said angrily: "You, you, I really can't do anything about you." ”
"I'm in favor of my sister's approach." Xu Xue raised her hand, "I think I should be like my sister, be tougher, and live without looking at other people's faces." ”
Xie actually agrees with them. That's the kind of character she is. And women were in a difficult situation in ancient times, if they were too soft, they would wait to be bullied. The sisters are like this, and she can rest assured when she gets married in the future.
When they got up early the next morning, Xu Xi and Xu Xue set off with Xu Yongyi to read the news in the county. When I arrived at the gate of the girls' academy, although there were many people there, it was obviously more than half of yesterday, and it was obvious that only the dozens of people who took the exam yesterday came to see the list.
Seeing that the gate of the academy was closed and the hour had not yet arrived, the three of them had to wait. Fortunately, after a while, the door of the academy opened, and it was Mrs. Cui who came out yesterday, and the maid who followed behind her was still holding a piece of red paper in her hand, in addition, there were two mothers-in-law with big shoulders and round waists, thinking that they came out to protect Mrs. Cui's safety.
Seeing a group of four people, everyone was very excited. However, these people were all selected yesterday, and they are not reckless in words and deeds, that is, they even have a certain amount of education in their families. Therefore, although everyone was excited, they did not swarm up, but made way for some space so that the four of them could post the list on the wall.
Mrs. Cui looked around, obviously very satisfied with the situation, and then instructed the maid: "Read the names on the list first, and then post them." ”
The maid got the order, unfolded the red list, and read the name on it.
As early as when they came out, the crowd, which had not been much noisy outside, was even quieter. So even if the maid's voice is not loud when she pronounces her name, it still allows everyone to hear it clearly.
"Xu Xi, Xu Xue, Zhong Chunying, Liu Luer......"
Xu Xue couldn't help but suddenly heard her name, and it was the second one, she was stunned for a moment before she reacted, and immediately exclaimed: "Sister, we ......" Seeing Xu Xi's warning eyes, she quickly covered her mouth and swallowed the rest of the words.
Fortunately, the scene was quiet, no matter how excited she was just now, she didn't dare to shout loudly, and her voice was not abrupt when people kept running this way and others were exclaiming.
Xu Yongyi was also excited, looked at Xu Xi grinning, and muttered to himself: "I was hit by ......", it was as if Xu Xi and Xu Xue had won the champion.
Although Xu Xi got the system prompt yesterday, he didn't know whether Xu Xue was admitted, and his heart was still hanging. Hearing the names of the two at this moment, her heart fell to the ground, and a smile appeared on her face, but she still did not forget to listen attentively to the names read in the maid's mouth.
She has a good memory, and she has the heart to remember, and she has memorized the appearance and name of the candidates who entered the door alone yesterday.
The maid's name is obviously arranged in the order in which she entered the door yesterday, so Xu Xi and Xu Xue are in the first and second places. She compared the names of the people in her mind one by one, counted the number of people, and finally found that the number of people admitted to the girls' academy was forty-six, not the fifty as she had said. Twenty-one people were probably dismissed because they were not educated enough, or because they showed some bad qualities when answering questions.
One-third of the people present were not admitted, so naturally some people were happy and some were worried. When the maid finished reading the list and posted the red list on the wall, the noise of the surrounding crowd gradually became louder. Those who didn't hear their names squeezed forward desperately, trying to see if they had missed it.
Xu Xi pulled Xu Xue and said to Xu Yongyi: "Uncle, let's go to the teahouse first and sit down before coming over." ”
Xu Yongyi hesitated: "Don't you want to look at the names on the list anymore to confirm?" ”
Xu Xi smiled: "Did you two hear the names of me and Xiaoxue just now?" ”
Xu Yongyi and Xu Xue both nodded.
"One person can hear it wrong, but it is impossible for all three to hear it wrong. Since all three of us have heard it, it is natural that we will not be wrong. Now there are a lot of people, those who fall off the list have to look at the list, and those who are selected have to go into the academy to investigate, which is very chaotic. Let's not join in the excitement, let's go to the teahouse and sit down before coming over. Xu Xi said.
In the past few days, Xu Xi's assertiveness has been very convincing, that is, Xu Yongyi also feels from the bottom of his heart that this niece is worthy of following Xiucai's brother to see the world in the city, and she is better than him in words and deeds. Xu Xue was able to be admitted to the women's academy, which can be said to be all thanks to Xu Xi; Dealing with the Hou Mansion, Xu Xi's performance is also very extraordinary.
He and Xu Xue had no objections, and immediately squeezed out of the crowd with Xu Xi, and found a teahouse nearby to sit and drink tea and eat snacks.
At this time, those people have really dispersed, and there are still people watching the list in twos and threes. These people think they came later.
The door of the academy was open, and the two mothers-in-law stood guard at the door.
Xu Xi stepped forward, handed over the wooden card he got on the day of the exam, reported his name Xu Xue, and asked, "Dare to ask the two mothers-in-law, when will we report?" What do I need to bring? What are the rules of the College? ”
"It turned out to be two Miss Xu." The mother-in-law was very polite to them, took the two of them's signs, rummaged through a box, found two other signs, and handed them to the two.
Xu Xi took it and saw that the sign was exactly the same as the one she handed back, the only difference was that her name was engraved on it. It seems that this is not only a voucher for entering and exiting the college, but also can be used as a school card. Unless the mother-in-law guarding the door doesn't know anyone, even if someone holds this sign, they can't pretend to be her to enter the academy.
"The two girls have to keep this brand, and if they lose it, they will be punished." Mother-in-law said.
As she spoke, she took another piece of paper and gave it to Xu Xi: "The admission time and requirements of the academy are written on it, and the girl will take it back and read it slowly." As he spoke, he handed another one to Xu Xue.
