Chapter 290: Trial
It is to climb up alone, and no external help is allowed.
"This assessment is really interesting, husband, let's take a good look here."
Of course, I want to take a look, and the tea is ready for you. ”
Duan Ling clapped his hands outside, and there was already a clever little maid who had already sent tea and snacks.
The position where Duan Ling and Lin Liang were sitting today happened to be a somewhat high place in the academy.
Through the window, you can see the various states of the students below.
However, the students below were under the cover of the curtains, but they couldn't see who was above.
"Everyone is almost there, the sun has risen."
The students who came up earlier were already a little impatient to wait, and after receiving the number plate, they first went to the master to register and conduct an assessment.
Lin Minde's sister and brother came relatively late, and today, Lin Minde also dressed up.
Wearing a skirt made of newly paid pink satin from Suzhou and Hangzhou, it shimmered with bright and moving brilliance in the sun.
It seems that on the cuffs and on the chest, the pattern of a rich peony is also embroidered with silver thread.
The green silk is on the back of the head, but it is not very brilliant, but it is used to tie the hair, and it is also a hairband about an inch wide woven with gold thread.
"This dress, no wonder it makes other young ladies fly eyes on her one after another, and on the day of the assessment, can't you wear it simpler?"
Next to the window, Lin Liang had already seen Lin Minde's outfit today.
Maybe it's Aunt Su's idea behind her back, if her mother knows, she will inevitably have to be responsible.
"What does she wear her business, what does she care about? As for Lin Ju, why don't you even choose archery, is it possible that you really want to take the route of a weak scholar? ”
After listening to what Duan Ling said, Lin Liang looked at what Lin Yu had chosen.
The arithmetic and the Four Books and Five Classics are all expected.
Literati naturally have to be proficient in poetry, do you count, the Lin family is prosperous in business. If you can't even do the math, how will you take over the Lin family's family business in the future?
"It's a bad guy who chose a horse to ride, as for the guqin, he is willing to learn it. As for whether it is good to learn or not, it is his own business. ”
Lin Ju used to be known in the Lin Mansion for not learning and not knowing, presumably these four things were already the easiest he could choose.
"Zhu Jiaoxi, who is riding a horse, is a very interesting person, and when this Young Master Lin arrives in his hands, he may have to drag a layer of skin."
Riding a horse and archery was Duan Ling's strong point back then.
This Zhu Jiaoxi has a good relationship with him, and he can find someone to talk to him for a while.
But Lin Ju chose this one, which still surprised him a little.
"Don't worry about it, let's see how it turns out." Lin Liang looked at the situation below, and he was very interested.
Today's assessment has been delayed for a long time, but at noon, the academy doesn't care what you want to eat.
Therefore, it is allowed to bring a scholar or maid to prepare some food.
But it's not as rich as what is prepared in each house on weekdays.
However, thinking about the assessment of Bailu Academy, once a year, it is also extremely rare.
Even the young masters and young ladies who are usually pampered at home can only follow the customs of the locals and are taken to a unified house.
After putting the food on the table, I hastily used some of it.
"Why is it so late?" Lin Liang looked at it for a long time, and then felt a little tired.
Subsequently, he was taken by Duan Ling to a secluded courtyard.
Bailu Academy allows students to live in the academy, so a school building can be used for students to live in the back.
Duan Ling was like a proud son of heaven in the academy back then, and the emperor attached great importance to it, so he lived in a separate room.
"After all these years, the house is still kept for you?" Lin Liang was still a little surprised when he was brought in by Duan Ling.
Curiously touching around, the furnishings in this room are also very simple.
Moreover, because Duan Ling only lived here alone, the area was not large.
It's just that being able to have an independent room in such an atmosphere must be a rare treatment.
"Yes, every year when I have free time, I will come back to see the dean and the master, and this room is reserved for me, isn't it sleepy? Lie here for a while. I'm afraid that in less than two days, the assessment results will be available. ”
"Got it." After Lin Liang finished speaking, he had already begun to yawn.
After she became pregnant, she became more and more sleepy, and occasionally felt weak in her limbs.
Otherwise, Duan Ling wouldn't have asked her to come out and take a look outside today.
In this way, it will not be like when I was in the Prince's Mansion, where there was nothing to do all day.
The doctor has said that it is still necessary to move around more, so that it will not be so sad when it comes to childbirth.
In the afternoon, the final test was horseback archery.
After Lin Liang slept for an hour, his spirit was also better.
Under the leadership of Duan Ling, he sat with all the masters.
"I didn't expect that even the crown prince and the crown princess would come to see the assessment of Bailu Academy in person today!"
This time, the students who chose to ride horses and archery this time were even more excited.
They all tried their best, and they wanted to show their faces in front of the crown prince and the crown princess.
"There is still a woman who chooses to ride a horse and shoot arrows? It's just that it looks like a little small! ”
Lin Liang's eyes lit up as he stared at a corner of the horse, where there were several women in colorful riding costumes.
At this moment, even the hair that was scattered next to his cheeks had been combed to the top of his head, tied with a golden crown similar to that of a man, which looked a little more heroic.
"Every year, there are women who choose to ride horses and shoot arrows, but most of them come from behind the shomen or from the north-western frontier. There are fewer in the Imperial City. ”
Before Duan Ling finished introducing him, the master who was here had already greeted him.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, but this year, there are more women who choose to ride horses and shoot arrows, and I don't know why."
"Isn't that a good thing? How nice it is to shoot arrows with a bow on a horse. ”
Lin Liang touched her stomach, and Duan Ling followed beside her inch by her side.
At the beginning of the assessment, the students were divided into groups of five, and when they sat on the horses, they still had a bit of a youthful heroic appearance.
Waiting for the master to give the order, he began to maneuver the steed horse that had been seated and ran towards the finish line.
But there are good performers, and there are also bad ones.
Lin Ji is the existence that almost makes people laugh off their big teeth, if it weren't for the assessment, he didn't even have much time to stay on the horse before.
It was still under the strict requirements of Father Lin that he only learned to ride a horse for a few days.
Now it's just a decent way to sit on horseback and not be thrown out.
In order to make the assessment fair and just, the horses ridden by the students are all prepared by the academy in advance.
