Chapter 196: Join in the fun

Therefore, even some voices against the crusade were quickly drowned out, not to mention that even the leader of the conservatives, Master Ye, and his granddaughter were the second girl to study under the eldest princess of Fu'an, so what he said, others were even more reluctant to pay attention to it.

Even others will only think that he is cheap and obedient, and advises others not to let his daughter study, but he sent his granddaughter to the mansion of the eldest princess of Fu'an, which shows that he has made wishful thinking, but he does not want others to be good.

Old Master Ye was helpless, and gradually stopped saying anything.

After the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Yu Wanning and Ye Xinmei continued to go to the princess's mansion to attend classes, and the three teachers and students discussed it and decided to arrange the examination of the new classmates on the second day of the second month of February.

On the one hand, it is to set aside time for those ladies who are making up for the course, and on the other hand, it is also convenient for Ji Shuyu, Yu Wanning, Ye Xinmei, and Ji Anchen to slowly discuss the exam questions together.

Because considering that most women study, most of them mainly focus on poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, such as Yu Wanning and Ye Xinmei, who mainly read the Four Books and Five Classics, are still relatively rare, and even fewer are proficient in arithmetic.

Therefore, in order to produce the exam questions, corresponding adjustments have been made, and the difficulty has been slightly reduced.

After all, you can't ask everyone at Yu Wanning's level, if you test others according to Yu Wanning's standards, it is estimated that few people in the entire capital will be able to meet the requirements, and when the time comes, most of them will be brushed out, and Ji Shuyu will be complained about by the Empress Dowager Han again.

More importantly, it is also contrary to her original idea of being a pioneer for Yu Wanning to open a girls' academy in the future.

After the exam questions were determined, Ji Shuyu released the news, but all girls who are interested in studying in the Fu'an Princess's Mansion, regardless of whether they are high or low, whether they are inside or outside, can first go to the Princess's Mansion Lady Lianyi to register for the exam.

And everyone only has one chance, if they are not good at schoolwork, they will work hard for a year, and then take the exam after two years.

In this way, it is also avoided that some people who are obviously not good at schoolwork, but they have to give it a try, and those who try their luck are crowded to come to the exam this year.

On the morning of the second day of the second month of February, the carriages of various provinces gathered outside the mansion of the eldest princess of Fu'an.

Although Ji Shuyu means that as long as you read well, you can no matter your background.

But after all, studying is a matter that costs money, and many ordinary families may not even be able to afford their sons, let alone their daughters.

Therefore, most of the people who came to apply for the examination were the daughters of aristocratic families.

When the time came, Lianyi brought the candidates into the mansion, and the elders and coachmen and maids who sent them could only wait at the gate of the mansion, and even a few noble ladies who had planned to take advantage of today's opportunity to set up with Ji Shuyu could not enter.

Although the weather is still cold, there are many grievances, but few people dare to speak out.

Although Ji Shuyu spread the word early in the morning, indicating that everyone only has one chance, and if they do not do well in schoolwork, they will wait for next year.

But this time, there were still a lot of people who signed up, and as soon as people entered the mansion, the entire Fu'an Gong Princess Mansion had never been so lively in the past 20 years.

The venue for the examination was arranged in the Rongyin Pavilion, where Ji Shuyu rehearsed music theory with the musicians in Fuzhong in his spare time, which was relatively spacious and could accommodate many candidates.

There is a brazier in three steps inside, and it will not be cold.

As for things like grinding ink, the candidates have to do it themselves, and the maids are not allowed to serve during the exam time.

And the work of invigilation naturally fell on Yu Wanning and Ye Xinmei, as well as Moon Shadow Lianyi, Ji Shuyu was in the middle, so naturally no one dared to cheat.

Yu Wanning walked around the examination room with a light step, occasionally glancing at the candidates' papers.

sighed slightly in his heart, there were as many as thirty-nine people who signed up for the exam, but the schoolwork was almost rare.

In the area she was responsible for patrolling, there was only one barely in sight, and Yu Wanning paid attention to the name she signed on the side.

The font is soft and gentle, named Han Yurong, guessing that it may be the daughter of the Empress Dowager Han's mother's family.

Therefore, Yu Wanning couldn't help but stand beside her for a while, but it made Han Yurong seem a little nervous, and the hand holding the pen trembled a little, and Yu Wanning had no choice but to walk away again.

raised her eyes and glanced at Ye Xinmei, and saw that she also shook her head slightly, it seemed that there were few good ones.

In fact, it is no wonder that the customs of Dayin have almost no women reading for many years, but only the nobles and scholars in the capital occasionally teach women to read and write.

Now it's just that many people have taken a fancy to the golden sign of the eldest princess of Fu'an, and want to get closer to Ji Shuyu, so they hurriedly sent their daughter to the exam.

After the exam, it was past lunch time, so Ji Shuyu asked the girls who took the exam to go back first, and they would post a list outside the walls of the princess's mansion three days later.

So Yu Wanning, Ye Xinmei and Ji Shuyu hurriedly had lunch and helped read the scrolls together.

Ji Anchen also came in the afternoon, entered the study and saluted Ji Shuyu, and said with a smile: "Today's grand event, but it is the first time that our Dayin has never had in the hundreds of years since the founding of the country, and the whole city is talking outside, but my aunt is very quiet here." ”

"You kid, you'll join in the fun."

Ji Shuyu looked at the scroll, and said without raising his head: "If others talk about it, let others talk about it, I will do what I want to do, what do I have to do with others, if you are too idle, you might as well help look at the scroll together, so as not to have A-Ning and Xinmei work hard with me." ”

When Ji Anchen heard this, he looked at Yu Wanning.

Since Ji Anchen came in, Yu Wanning's eyes had already fallen on him, and this was opposite to his gaze, so he blinked his eyes and smiled.

"It's okay to help."

Ji Anchen walked to Ji Shuyu's desk and looked at the test papers on the table and said, "I'm afraid that if my nephew's level is not good, I will lose my eyes and complain." ”

"No, it won't."

Ji Shuyu raised his head, rubbed his somewhat sore neck with his hand and said, "I've seen it, although I heard that these candidates have invited masters from all their houses to teach, but they are too hasty, and the overall level is still a little worse than that of you and A Ning Xinmei." You can help you take a look, pick out the good ones, and then I'll sift through them. ”

"Since my aunt can trust me, then my nephew will take a look."

Ji Anchen said, picked up a stack of scrolls and went to his desk.

Yu Wanning and Ye Xinmei went back to the house in the evening, while Ji Anchen stayed in the princess's mansion and was busy with Ji Shuyu until late at night.

Therefore, it took two days to read all the papers, and then Ji Shuyu personally assessed the list of students who passed the coursework and could enter the princess's mansion.
