Jane Shi was on the boat was greeted by the Zhou Mansion, naturally no one bothered her, Jane stayed on the boat and flipped through a geographical chronicle in the package, which introduced her to Suizhou, Suizhou is a city famous for academics, the imperial examination every three years, the champion list is basically contracted by the students of this city, so Suizhou is also called Champion City, Suizhou has three famous colleges, among which "Dexin College" is the goal of Jane, its name has long spread far away, the conditions for this college to enter the school are questions and interviews, And if the score of entering the school is high, the tuition fee will be waived, and this is what Jian Shi likes, and now she is only an eight-year-old child, wearing coarse linen clothes, and she can't see her gender.

In fact, this era is not particularly feudal, women can also learn and show their heads, but there have never been women in the officialdom, what Jian Shi has to do is to set this precedent.

After getting off the boat, Jane kept following the map, and then spun around in place... However, Jane did not find out about it herself. An old man who was selling things next to her watched her come and go several times, watched her walk with a serious face, and finally couldn't help laughing.

"Little doll, didn't you notice that you kept going the same way?"

Jian Shi stopped, looked at the gloating old man, and smiled indifferently: "Oh, then old man, can you tell me how to go to the "Dexin Academy"?" ”

The old man stopped laughing, looked at Jian Shi in surprise, and looked up and down: "Female doll, are you going to go to school at Dexin Academy?" ”

Jian Shi heard the old man say her gender, and was surprised for a second, and then recovered, after all, the master is in the people, and it is normal to know. Then he nodded.

The old man looked at Jian Shi very seriously, and looked at it seriously, "Ziyou asks filial piety?" Jian Shi was stunned when he heard this, and replied by the way: "Zi said: "Today's filial piety is said to be able to raise." As for dogs and horses, they can all be raised; Disrespectful, why not? "Provenance?" The old man then asked, Jian Shi glanced at him, and didn't understand why he suddenly started to answer the question, ""The Analects of Politics", "Therefore, the heavens will descend to the people, where does it come from?" "Mencius, Confession" replied simply.

The old man squinted, and Jian Shi suddenly understood the meaning of the two questions, which was asking her parents? In addition, he also told her that if she wanted to go to the academy, she must have this kind of perseverance, Jian Shi looked at the old man suspiciously, "Who is Mr. ”

The old man smiled and shook his head, "I am a grass student" and then changed his voice, and looked at Jian Shi seriously: "Suizhou is the paradise of most students in the Central Plains, but you don't just see the prosperity on the surface, it is worthy of the name at any time, but the competition is so great that you can't imagine it, there are also all kinds of selfishness here, if you want to survive here, it is not easy, and the little doll exam is to test the six arts of the gentleman, can you?" The old man looked Jian Shi up and down. "So little doll, you better fight where to go back and forth!"

Jian Shi looked at the old man fixedly, and bowed gratefully: "Old man, thank you for the reminder, but the trip to Suizhou is imperative for me, and I will not be worse than anyone else." ”

Turning around to leave, the old man sighed, "It just so happens that I'm going to Dexin Academy on the way, so come with me." Jian Shi hooked the corners of his mouth and whispered to the old man, "Thank you." The old man shook his head, "Don't think too much, just go by the way." The old man said as he gathered his things.

Jian Shi followed behind the old man, and suddenly remembered something. His face stiffened: "That, old man, I don't have a nameplate." The old man in front of him shook his hand when he heard this, turned his head and looked at Jian Shi with an expression of are you here to be funny, and then sighed, "Let's go, I have acquaintances in the official mansion." Jian Shi looked at the old man with a look of you really powerful, the old man glanced at Jian Shi with a sudden, turned his head and continued walking.

Jian Shi was behind him, restrained his smile, and looked the old man up and down, the old man seemed to be able to see Jian Shi's movements: "Hehe" smiled, with some sadness, "I also have a granddaughter like you, that child has the same ambition as you, but unfortunately, I was fascinated by love, and since then I have forgotten my original intention, married a rich man, and there is still no good ending." I see something different in you than she does, and I wonder if you can make it to the last step."

Jian Shi then understood why the old man was so good to a passerby like her, the two arrived at the mansion of the Suizhou Mansion, the old man walked in directly, and no one stopped him, the guards on both sides looked at Jian Shi behind him and only glanced at it, Jian Shi was secretly surprised, what is the identity of the old man?

"Mr. Yan, the master is in the study, do you want to go over?" The housekeeper came over and said respectfully to the old man, the old man nodded, secretly looked at Jian Shi's expression, looked at Jian Shi without curiosity to look around, and did not see the greed and envy of the high-ranking official's mansion, and nodded secretly.

The old man took Jian Shi directly to the so-called Lord Thorn Shi, what Jian Shi saw was a gentle middle-aged uncle, his sideburns hung down naturally, and he was painting intently with a pen in his hand, and after the two waited for half an hour, his painting was finished, and then he looked up at the two of them, and then said to the old man with a look of annoyance: "Mr. Yan didn't call me when he came, so you waited so long." ”

The old man smiled and shook his head, "Jingzhi, how can you disturb such a critical moment when you are immersed in paintings?" I won't waste anything by waiting a while. Then he pointed to Jane: "This kid doesn't have a nameplate, so I'm going to trouble you." ”

The middle-aged man named Jingzhi looked at the old man and hurriedly said, "It's not troublesome, it's just a nameplate, what's the trouble?" It's just that the man paused, "Yes, it's not just the nameplate, even the household registration has to be moved here, I don't know what her identity is, and I don't want to check it," looking at the face similar to his granddaughter, the old man felt a pain in his heart, "I hope you can take care of her during her time in Suizhou, you don't need special treatment, just take care of it in life, and the rest depends on her own creation." ”

Jian Shi looked at the old man in shock, she didn't expect the old man to help her like this, Jingzhi's man looked Jian Shi up and down and didn't find anything special, but still nodded, "Don't worry about her expenses in the academy, I won't interfere with the rest." The old man knew that the matter was thus settled, and the two sat down and began to discuss, and Jian Shi sat beside him and poured tea for the two of them. The old man looked at Jian Shi's appearance, stroked his beard and smiled. Jing Zhi immediately understood that this lecture was for this child. I couldn't help but roll my eyes, how could this kid understand such a profound thing, but it didn't matter, he also benefited a lot from this turn.

The old man took Jian Shi back home, the house in front of him was not big, even very simple, but when he walked in, Jian Shi's eyes were spent, there were books inside, there were bookshelves on one side against the wall, there were several rooms, but the books in each room occupied a lot of space, Jian Shi felt very surprised, her knowledge reserve was not enough at all, just now the two chatted, she couldn't understand partially, and these books were treasures for her.

The old man looked at Jian Shi's excitement and hooked the corners of his mouth with satisfaction. It's a piece of jade.
