Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Palace of Diligent Learning
According to Xie Houye's words, Xie Xiaoyu and his party were not in a hurry, never deviated from the official road, and only stayed at the official post station at night.
Xie Xiaoyu is no longer a fifteen-year-old girl in her bones, and the four families who followed her, Ding Fulu, Shouxi, Ping'an, and Kangning had fought with Xie Houye, so the group was extremely cautious and never had problems.
The carriage of Hou Xie's house, sitting in Miss Xie, is naturally a soft sleeper in a high car, which is very comfortable.
Xie Xiaoyu has had to burn incense since she was a child for various reasons, and Xie Hou and his wife cherish this daughter, so naturally they can find her no matter how precious spices they are.
However, Miss Xie is not a picky person, no matter how many spices she makes, she doesn't have a fixed hobby - after all, what else is it to choose from her?
Now the carriage is burning with the fragrance of Mrs. Hua Rui, sweet and elegant, mixed with the autumn wind, spread out, no one can see the emblem of the Xie family, and they also know that the people in the car are not simple.
Even so, Bi Tao has been in the Lin family's one-bedroom carriage, and now when she looks at this car, no matter how luxurious it is, it is not as good as someone else's car that can cook on fire, so she smiled with Xie Xiaoyu:
"Girl, you say, can you let Master Hou go and buy a car with that Lin Gongzi?"
Xie Xiaoyu sat by the window, looking at the scenery along the way, and thought seriously for a moment when he heard this, before shaking his head: The Lin family is not selling cars, it is a magic weapon.
"Oh, too. Does Young Master Meng have such a magic weapon? Bi Tao felt that what the young lady said was very reasonable, and immediately began to ponder again.
I do not know.
Red Peach heard Bi Tao talk about one or two things on the south bank, and knew that there was such a Lin Gongzi, but he didn't know the details, and now he was confused when he listened to it, and asked Bi Tao: "You are also a person who has seen the world, and what kind of car is worthy of your memory?" ”
"It's a very big car, it looks like our car on the outside, and it's the size of a bedroom inside."
"Nonsense, where in the world is there such a car?
"Yes, it's a magic weapon, and that Lin Gongzi is also a cultivator."
"Is that so? I'm also curious, how can Marco pull such a big car? ”
"It looks the same, by the way, the carriage has flown up."
“…… The more you talk about it, the more it looks like nonsense. ”
The road was long, but the three of them sat in the car and laughed - Bi Tao was responsible for cheering, Red Peach was responsible for laughing, and Xie Xiaoyu was responsible for sitting in the car - it was not boring.
A few days have passed in the blink of an eye, walking day by day, the scenery on both sides of the official road has changed, the same passers-by have met and separated, others don't realize it, but Xie Xiaoyu, who doesn't like to talk, has a profound experience, and sometimes a little emotional.
When they arrived in Gyeonggi Province, the types of fellow travelers also quietly changed, from ordinary porters and farmers, to big merchants, famous merchants, and Hu people caravans.
And more of them are all kinds of students, craftsmen, martial arts practitioners, and occasionally immortal cultivators wearing wide robes - of course, I don't know the bottom, I don't know if it's a fake immortal cultivator.
Xie Xiaoyu is the most sensitive to such changes, but she never bothered to ask about these things, but this day, Bi Tao looked at the young lady's slightly dazed look, understood what she meant, and reminded with a busy smile:
"Girl, it's the day when the Diligent School Palace recruits new people."
Diligent study palace.
Hearing the name that he hadn't heard for more than ten years, Xie Xiaoyu was in a trance for a while, and only then did he remember the old days, and the corners of his lips moved slightly.
Even the hearts could see that Miss was laughing.
……
Qinsi School Palace is the Kang Dynasty Taizu in the continuation of the previous dynasty imperial examination system at the same time, another set up of the palace, because Taizu loves Han Yu writing the most, so the origin of the name of the palace, is the famous sentence "industry is good at diligence in the frolic, the line is in the thought of destroying with it".
Different from the imperial examination, the school palace is to recruit all kinds of talents from all over the world, not only to Confucianism as respect, but also to know the big characters, as long as there is a real ability, can also be recruited by the school palace.
After three years of study and assessment, the students will become officials or work in the court, or they can choose to return to their hometowns on their own.
And the two years that are empty are the time to continue to track and assess the abilities of those students, and by the way, to readjust the rules of the school palace.
At the same time, this is also to maintain the dignity of the imperial examination.
In this way, since the date of the establishment of the Kang Dynasty, there are students in the school palace, businessmen, craftsmen, poor and rich, nobles after the prisoners, out of the school palace may be strictly hierarchical, but at least in the school palace, the master is the first, no one dares to be born, rich and poor, the school of the high and low, the rules of the school palace are modified year by year, increase and decrease more perfect, only "recruit talents" has never changed at all, so it is true to send many talents to the court and the locality, to this day, there are the world's talents half out of the words of diligence.
Even those noble children who are difficult to make progress in the imperial examination, if they really want to be recognized and make a difference, they must go to the school palace to see and learn.
For example, Xie Chunshan was originally from a noble family, he joined the army at the age of fourteen and made military achievements, but he also entered the palace at the age of eighteen to study for three years.
At the time of the Supreme Emperor, the Qinsi School Palace began to recruit female students, male and female students but different seats, that is, during class, there was also a curtain in the middle, but what they learned was the same.
It's a pity that people at the time only took women as husbands and children, so there were fewer female students, and most of the people who went were the daughters of famous families and nobles.
For example, Xie Xiaoyu entered the Qinsi School Palace when he was nine years old.
Miss Xie is a man of few words, and her status is precious, so she is not very close to people in the school palace, but in her opinion, that time was really happy and expanded her horizons.
It's a pity that after the death of Emperor Chengping in the previous life, the regent Chun Yufeng closed the school palace from then on.
Time is rewinded, and now when he hears the four words of Qinsi Xue Palace, Xie Xiaoyu will sigh with emotion.
Although the red heart couldn't read Xie Xiaoyu's words, she could figure out what she meant right now, and said with a smile:
"Miss is back in Beijing this time, the princess and those young ladies will definitely have a banquet."
Xie Xiaoyu's expression immediately became tired.
No, no. She shook her head, and said to herself.
The two girls looked at each other and laughed.
Now that the time is nearly late, everyone went to the post station to rest, the post is a short and fat man in his forties, heard that there is a Xie family emblem on the carriage - a word of Xie in the white magnolia entwined branches - immediately respectfully greeted out, just stood up to see a pink carved jade, so that people can not look away and dare not look at the little girl, it is known that this is the legendary Xie family lady, busy arranging the guest room on the second floor.
Not the best room in the inn, smaller, but fairly clean.
"I've wronged the eldest lady," Yi Cheng arched his hand and said apologetically, "It's just that now the post station is full of students who go to the school palace for the exam, and the court has already ordered them to take care of them, and they must not be strangled, and please don't blame the eldest lady." ”
