When Qingshu arrived at the school, she saw her tablemate Zhao Lingling's eyes red.

Putting down the cloth bag, Qingshu asked a little puzzled, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"I'm not going to the capital anymore."

Wenhuatang only gives 20 places to Jinling Girls' School every year, which does not mean that 20 people in a class are eligible to take the exam. However, Zhao Lingling is on the list.

Qingshu was very surprised: "Why? ”

She remembered how happy Zhao Lingling was when the list came down. Now I suddenly say no, I always feel that it is wrong.

Zhao Lingling's tears came again: "My father said that I was not sure of passing the exam, so he asked me not to go." ”

"What if I pass the test?"

Qing Shu was a little puzzled: "We will go to the capital in more than half a month, why didn't he say it before and wait until now if he thinks you can't pass the exam?" ”

Because the back-and-forth entanglement to the exam and the accommodation in the capital are all women's school bags, so individuals don't need to spend any money.

"My dad said I was too weak to stand the weather." Zhao Lingling wiped her tears and said: "I also asked, the capital is indeed very cold, and many senior sisters fell ill because they couldn't stand the weather over there." Many people couldn't even take the exam because of this, and I guess I'll fall ill as soon as I arrive in the capital. ”

"Are you willing to give up like that?"

Zhao Lingling was also very reluctant, but she still said; "I can't help it if I'm unwilling, who made me weak!"

Qingshu always felt that she was not telling the truth. It's just that everyone has their own secrets.

After school, Jian Shu called Qingshu to her room: "I heard Ah Ran say that you bought a house next to Wenhua Hall?" ”

Qingshu nodded.

Jian Shu said: "Our female school has built a five-entry house in the capital, and everyone will live there at that time." ”

"Is it far from Mandarin Hall?"

Jian Shu nodded and said, "It's not far, it will take less than a quarter of an hour to get there by carriage." ”

The housing prices in the capital are already very expensive, and the location of Wenhuatang and its fame make the housing prices over there very high. However, in addition to the shackles and government funding, Jinling Girls' School can also receive a lot of donations every year. They had already bought a house near Mandarin Hall, so that it would be convenient for students who were going to take exams.

Qingshu sighed and said, "It's not far away, then I'll go over and listen to the class every morning!" ”

When they arrived in the capital, they had to attend classes, but they were not taught by the female teacher, but by the gentleman of Wenhuatang.

These gentlemen are not just teaching in the textbook, but analyzing the exam questions of the past years, and then they will also bet on the questions. Therefore, this lesson Qingshu must be taken.

"Qingshu, I suggest you live with everyone, so that you can take care of each other."

Qingshu shook his head and said, "I'm not used to sleeping in the same room with people. In addition, my study is paved with a floor dragon, and I am not afraid of freezing my hands and feet. ”

She is like a small stove, even if the capital is cold and covers the bed with a slightly thicker quilt. But you can read and practice calligraphy for a long time without moving, and it is easy to freeze your hands and feet if it is too cold in the room. Therefore, the study room is paved with the dragon bedroom but not paved.

Jian Shu didn't persuade when she heard it, the house they lived in didn't have floor heating: "Will your father agree to let you live there alone?" ”

Most of the students who went to the exam had relatives in the capital. However, the capital is so big, and the places where these relatives and friends live are basically far away from Wenhuatang. So, most of the students will live in the college's house.

Qingshu said lightly: "He will agree." ”

As for whether Lin Chengyu's face will not look good, it is not her concern.

Jian Shu sighed secretly, she didn't understand what Lin Chengyu thought. Such an excellent daughter, why did she ignore it for so long!

If Lin Chengyu knew what she was thinking, she would definitely be wronged. Since he knew Qingshu's situation in Jinling, he especially wanted to take her to the capital, but unfortunately Qingshu ignored it. And because he had an agreement with Mrs. Gu, he didn't dare to force Qingshu to throw a mouse bogey. Therefore, it makes people mistakenly think that he doesn't care about Qingshu.

Qingshu thought of Zhao Lingling and asked Jian Shu: "Sir, Zhao Lingling said that the capital was too cold, and she decided not to go to the exam for fear that her body would not be able to bear it." ”

"I know that."

Qingshu must have an inside story now: "Teacher, were there many things like Zhao Lingling in previous years." ”

Jian Shu's brows twitched: "What do you want to say?" ”

"It's weird."

Jian Shu chuckled, "This is also an unwritten convention. There are only 20 places, and some people who didn't pass the exam last year want to take the exam again, so they have to figure out their own way. However, the places that are given up are all students who have little chance of being admitted in the lower ranking, otherwise the school will not agree. ”

As long as it's not persecution, the school won't intervene. After all, it's a good thing for the school.

Sure enough, as she expected, Qing Shu asked with some confusion: "But I heard that Wenhuatang only gives one chance." If you don't pass the test, you won't be able to take the test again. ”

"There's no such thing. However, there is an age limit, which must be between the ages of eight and twelve. If you are over the age of twelve, you will not be able to take the test again, and even if you pass the test, you will be brushed off. ”

"Oh."

Seeing Qing Shu frowning, Jian Shu chuckled and said, "This world is like this, it's useless if you feel uncomfortable." But as long as you're good enough, no one can stand in your way. Just like the Wang family didn't want you to enter the women's school back then, but you were the first, and no one in the school dared to brush you down. ”

Even without her, it would be impossible for the female school to turn her away with her comfortable grades. Because if the female school does not accept it, there will be other schools to collect it, and it will be their school that will lose at that time.

It's brutal, but that's the reality.

Jian Shu smiled and said, "I'll tell you a good news, I'll lead the team this time." ”

Qingshu's face showed surprise: "Really? ”

"It's already settled, and it shouldn't be changed if nothing else."

Qingshu is very happy, thanks to Jian Shu's Buddhahood in the past few years, she has been able to live so smoothly in the days of women's school.

Jian Shu thought about the so many servants around Qingshu, and said, "By the way, each student can only bring one personal maid. If you want to bring more people than that, you'll have to pay the boat fare. ”

"I see."

When he got home, Qingshu called Laixi and Uncle Miao and others to come over: "Uncle Miao, Laixi, you brought your things to the capital first, and I want to go with Mr. Jian." ”

It doesn't seem like a lot of things, but as soon as you pack up your books, you can take up six boxes, and then there are jewelry, big sweaters, and so on. With so many things, it's obviously not good to take an official ship.

As he was talking, he heard Jianmu say outside: "Girl, girl, Master Duan is here." ”

Seeing Master Duan, Qingshu was overjoyed: "Master, why are you here?" ”

I haven't seen Master Duan for more than three years, not only has he not seen him old, but he is still much younger.

Just from the physiognomy, I know that Master Duan's life has been very smooth in the past few years.

Master Duan smiled and said, "You want to go to the capital to catch the exam, I can't rest assured, so I'll come and see you." ”

After Qingshu arrived in Jinling, he also sent things and letters to Master Duan. It's just that the letter and things have been returned, and Master Duan also said not to contact him again in the future.

Qing Shu understood that Master Duan was afraid that their contact would provoke Mo Yongyan's eyes and bring her danger.
