Chapter 7 Academies

The literary style of Daqi is prosperous, and there are many academies, especially in the capital.

Among them, the most famous are the six major academies!

The New Confucian College where Xie Yuanting studied is one of the six major academies. However, the New Confucian Academy is in the middle of the rankings. The first of the six academies is the Shochiku Academy.

When Emperor Zijian Wen was young, he studied at Songzhu Academy. After ascending the throne, Emperor Jianwen transferred silver taels from the royal private treasury to rebuild the Songzhu Academy. Today, a number of princes and royal family children are studying at Songzhu Academy.

For this reason, Shochiku Academy is known as the Royal Academy.

In addition, there are Boyu College, Derun College, and Cihu College.

Lotus Pond Academy, which has only been established for more than ten years, can be among the six major academies in Beijing, which naturally has its own uniqueness.

Lianchi Academy, built by the crown princess Yu at that time, is the first women's academy in Daqi!

The college has six arts, and the number of books is no different from that of the men's college. In addition, there are also special courses such as female red cooking and gardening.

Most of the masters in the academy are erudite and talented Hanlin, or famous Confucians in the capital, as well as top musicians and painters from the palace.

The crown princess personally served as the head of the Lotus Pond Academy, teaching three days a month.

Since the establishment of the Lianchi Academy, all prefectures and counties in Daqi have followed suit. In just a few years, women's colleges have sprung up all over Daqizhou County.

Lianchi Academy has also become the most prestigious academy in Daqi, and its reputation is not weaker than that of Songzhu Academy.

Five years ago, Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, and the crown princess entered the middle palace and became Empress Yu. In charge of the phoenix seal, the mother of the world. The Lotus Pond Academy also rose and became more famous.

Several princesses in the palace and the county lords in the princes' mansions are all studying in the Lotus Pond Academy.

The bureaucrats and nobles of Daqi were very happy to send their bright and talented daughters to study in Lianchi Academy. can not only fight for the reputation of talented women, but also rank among the top boudoir girls in Daqi.

What's more important is the opportunity to get close to the queen of the dynasty.

The famous Lotus Pond Academy is naturally not a place for anyone who wants to enter. The entrance examination for new students is held only once a year on March 15. The minimum age is 10 years old, and the maximum age must not exceed 13. You are not allowed to register for the exam for two consecutive years.

This means that everyone only has two chances to take the test. If you don't pass the exam the first time, you have to wait for two years.

There are at least three or four hundred young girls who apply for the Lianchi Academy every year, and the final number of students admitted is only ten. The competition is fierce!

Therefore, on the day of the release of the list of Lianchi Academy, everyone paid attention.

The girl who was admitted to the Lotus Pond Academy can be said to have become famous!

Last year, Xie Yunxi was old enough to apply for the exam. It's a pity that Xie Yunxi is smart, has a stupid face, and is a useless straw bale. If you go, you will never be able to pass the exam.

Therefore, the county lord of Yongning deliberately waited until this year.

This year, she is 10 years old and is qualified to apply.

Just enough to be admitted to Lotus Pond Academy for Xie Yunxi!

……

The county lord of Yongning has a gracious face, which is extremely hypocritical and disgusting.

Xie Mingxi replied quietly: "Thank you, mother." ”

Aunt Ding's whole body trembled slightly, and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at Xie Jun, let alone Xie Mingxi on her side.

A heart seems to have fallen into a hot pan of oil.

It was she who knelt down and forced Xie Mingxi to nod her head with the affection of mother and daughter. Xie Mingxi must be extremely disappointed and resentful of her mother-in-law!

But she really didn't have any other way......

Xie Jun was a little surprised, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Yun Niang is one year older, so it doesn't hurt to sign up." Ming Niang is only ten years old this year, so it is better to wait another year and have a greater certainty. ”

The county lord of Yongning sneered in his heart.

What is Xie Mingxi's talent, how can Xie Jun not know? It's not a problem to go to the Lotus Pond Academy. The one-year delay is to let Xie Mingxi win the first place in one fell swoop, so that he can become famous!

It's a pity that Xie Jun's wishful thinking was wrong!

The one who moves the capital will be her daughter Xie Yunxi!

"Just accompany Yun Niang to the exam, and have a long experience." The county lord of Yongning had a faint expression and could not refuse.

Xie Jun had no choice but to back down, and his smile did not decrease: "The county lord is reasonable. ”

Xie Yuanting immediately smiled and said, "The second sister is talented and intelligent, and she will definitely be able to be successfully admitted to the Lotus Pond Academy." ”

The second sister praised by Xie Yuanting was not Xie Mingxi, who was a fellow mother, but Xie Yunxi, the only concubine of the Xie family.

The county lord of Yongning smiled rarely, and looked at Xie Yuanting with a rather gentle gaze: "Accept your auspicious words." I also look forward to Yun Niang being able to pass the exam in one fell swoop. ”

Mother and son are filial, and the picture is very harmonious.

The only discord was Aunt Ding's pale face and bitten lips.

Xie Mingxi didn't turn his head to look at Aunt Ding.

Aunt Ding made the same choice as in her previous life. And she is no longer the kind girl who is soft-hearted at every turn, and she will never forgive Aunt Ding.

will not spare the mother and daughter of the lord of Yongning County who calculates and despises her!

If others bully me and insult me, I will repay it a hundredfold!

……

The county lord of Yongning looked at Xie Mingxi, who was smiling and silent, with a rare and gentle expression: "Mingniang, you and Yun Niang applied for the Lianchi Academy together, and the two sisters should be closer to each other." ”

"You pack your clothes and luggage, and after three days, I will send someone to pick you up and take you to the county lord's mansion."

As soon as the words fell, Aunt Ding had already raised her head, her face full of disbelief: "Why did the county lord take Ming Niang away?" ”

The county lord of Yongning looked slightly cold.

Mama Zhao, who was standing on the side, had a calm face and scolded: "The county lord speaks, why should Aunt Ding intervene rashly." I don't know how to be respectful and humble, and if you commit the following crimes, you should slap your mouth! ”

After saying that, he stepped forward and raised his hand.

Aunt Ding was embarrassed and indignant, but she didn't dare to dodge.

The humiliating lessons of the past are vividly visible.

Don't dodge, don't dodge, just take a slap. If you dodge, you will be slapped at least ten times!

Xie Jun's eyes darkened, and he did not plead.

A trace of disgust and anger flashed in Xie Yuanting's eyes, and he turned his head to the side.

As a concubine, you should be honest and grovel. But Aunt Ding always couldn't recognize her identity, so she took the liberty of confronting herself and humiliating herself. Having such a biological mother is the biggest shame in his life!

Besides, what's wrong with going to the county lord's mansion?

By the side of the county lord of Yongning, you can enter and exit the Huainan Palace, you can communicate with the royal family and the magnates, you can stand higher and broader, and you will have a better future......

Xie Jun can't give these things.

Aunt Ding can't give it.

Only the mother-in-law, the county lord of Yongning, can do it!

Aunt Ding is so stupid that she can't see through this!

You deserve to be beaten!

Just as Mama Zhao's hand fell, an unexpected voice sounded: "Stop!" ”

Mama Zhao was startled and subconsciously stopped the movements in her hand.

Aunt Ding, who had closed her eyes and was about to be beaten, trembled all over her body and suddenly opened her eyes.

The county lord of Yongning's face sank, his eyes were cold, and he looked over.

It was Xie Mingxi who opened his mouth to stop it. Her gaze swept over everyone's faces with different expressions, and finally landed on Mama Zhao's gloomy and angry face.

No matter how unbearable Aunt Ding is, it won't be a slave to humiliate!

She will take her own hands to "train".

What kind of thing is Mama Zhao!

Xie Mingxi's white face was as calm as usual, and she asked lightly: "Mama Zhao kept saying that Aunt Ding didn't know how to be respectful and inferior, and she committed the following crimes. I don't know what Mama Zhao's behavior is at this time, what is it? ”

"Aunt Ding is at fault first, and it should be her mother who wants to be punished. When was it Mama Zhao's turn to speak first? ”

"In terms of ignorance and humility, Aunt Ding is really far inferior to Mama Zhao!"

"In such a situation, if you fall into the eyes of outsiders, I don't know how you will laugh at your mother, and there is a slave who is more powerful than the master by your side!"

Mama Zhao: "......"
