Chapter 70: The First Day of Admission
This week, Xu Yao basically stayed in the boudoir, staying at home, and really rested.
But time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day of official enrollment.
"Miss, you have to listen to the hall well, don't be greedy like this," Qiao'er stood outside the mansion and looked at Xu Yao reluctantly, and said, "I won't see Miss all day, and the slave maid can't accompany Miss, Miss You have to take care of yourself." β
"Well, I know, you too..."Xu Yao looked at her with a smile, "Father told me that I went to the academy and would come back in the afternoon, so that he didn't think too much about me." When he had finished his instructions, he stepped into the carriage, and then the coachman began to drive.
"Yes!" Qiao'er saluted, and then looked at Xu Yao's carriage driving farther and farther, thinking that the young lady had not been away from home for so long since she was a child, and tears of distress fell.
Half an hour later, the carriage finally stopped outside the academy, and Xu Yao said goodbye to the coachman. Standing outside the gate with excitement and nervousness, he took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and gently pushed the door open.
I thought that the courtyard was empty, but there was a row of teenagers standing in a row, who had been standing quietly, and after seeing Xu Yao, they all became restless.
I don't know this noisy environment, I thought I was wrong, and I entered the vegetable market of my uncle and aunt by mistake, and it turned out that men would be so noisy.
"Is this the woman who made an exception to enter the academy this year?"
"It's true, I thought it was a rumor when I first knew about it!"
"She is indeed one of the best beauties, but she is a woman who comes to listen to the hall? It's ridiculous! β
"Yes, the woman listens to the hall, it's unheard of, it's ridiculous."
"Not really, let's just say... The woman should find a man to marry when she is married, and teach her husband and children at home, she actually came out to show her face, and she still wants to study, ridiculous! β
Listening to these derogatory words about women, Xu Yao couldn't bear it, although the status of women here is indeed low.
And these words are very normal for them, but after all, Xu Yao is a highly educated modern new woman, and it is impossible to suffer from such a dumb loss.
Directly angry, let them all shut their mouths: "Isn't your mother a woman?" Are you born of two men? β
At this point, they were so noisy that they were instantly silent, and even glared at Xu Yao directly.
After all, Xuan Chenguo is particularly taboo about the habit of breaking sleeves, and in their opinion, saying that they were born to two men is extremely vicious.
"Dean... The little girl from Xufu came to report! β
Seeing the dean walking slowly from the side courtyard, and immediately reverted to a gentle and watery appearance, the men present were shocked, and the woman changed her face and was turned over quickly.
"Haha... Come on, let's get in... Stand up for me! How dare you be late, what kind of place is the academy??! "The gap between girls and boys is not ordinarily big.
"You're okay, you go in... On the first day you came, you really didn't know the rules, so you went into class, walked straight all the way and turned left. "The tone of speech is different, it's a world of difference!
"Thank you, Dean! Then I'll leave first," Xu Yao smiled slightly, brushed down and saluted, turned around and walked towards the path he said, with a light body.
"Okay, slow down~ Don't fall...", the look of a smile on his face made the teenagers who had just quieted down start arguing again.
A tall teenager with three-dimensional facial features and a tall figure in the crowd said indignantly: "Hey! Dean, you can't do this, she's also late, why don't you punish her, just because she's a woman? β
"That's right, why punish us, she's not a newcomer, she's just a woman, and women are just appendages to our men!" It was the young man's little follower who said this, who looked a little childish, his height was not ideal, and he was a little fat.
"Yes, yes!" The rest of the teenagers followed suit, looking like they didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement.
"Heh..."The dean smiled disdainfully and said, "When you have the ability to get all the test papers that came out of the entrance exam right, you can be late every day." This explosive news directly caused their restlessness.
"It can't be, even our boss can barely pass, she... How can a woman do it all right, Dean... Are you bluffing us? The little attendant rushed to say what the boy thought in front of the boy, and the boy nodded and said, "Not bad! Won my heart. β
As if he had heard something funny, the dean smiled and said, "I, the dean of the academy, what are you doing with the children, I am not full of food!" β
The little attendant muttered in a low voice, "What if...", he originally thought that he would not be heard by the dean behind his ear, but who knew that he heard surprisingly well today.
"Huh? What did you say! The dean was furious, "You! Come out! Recently, he has been so good to him, and he has begun to learn to insult and slander his master, and has he forgotten to respect his teacher? β
The dean pointed at him and said angrily: "Today, I will copy the "Book of Rites and Learning" twenty times, and then there will be another time directly fifty times!" β
"Huh?" His resentment was already on his face, "If you don't accept it, then add it ten more times!" The dean's angry eyes were full of stars, and his blood pressure soared directly.
"No, no, no, I'll copy... I can't copy it~" The little follower hurriedly admitted it, after all, if you really copy it thirty times, the hand will be wasted, and you still have to learn to be soft.
After that, the little follower immediately returned to the classroom to find the "Book of Rites and Learning" and then went to the confinement room to bury his head in copying.
When the rest of these young and vigorous teenagers saw this scene, they immediately shut up and stood upright, not daring to gasp, including the teenager.
Xu Yao wandered for a while, and finally came to a classroom, which clearly said "Read more than 10,000 volumes, write like a god" on the plaque, which means that learning is endless.
I was fascinated by it, looking at the empty classroom, and feeling confused, could it be that there was such a big academy... There are only a few teenagers who have been punished, and this is inevitable... What a waste.
Just when Xu Yao was puzzled, a familiar male voice sounded: "You are the little girl who entered the school!" When I turned around, I saw that it was Jiang Yi, who I met in Xinxiangyuan that day, and he was... It's greasy, and what is this wearing, is the ancient version not mainstream? The flowers are green, and the soil is good.
"Why are you here... Do you have to take classes too? Xu Yao looked at him in disbelief, this kind of disciple can actually study, and there is no one in this academy.
"Of course, why can't I, you're prejudiced!" Jiang Yi said that he had received 10,000 critical hits, and he had to hug him to alleviate it.
"Oh... Whatever~ Where is my seat? Xu Yao waved her hand, indicating that she didn't care.
"Thereβ" Jiang Yi pointed to the middle of the third row, and Xu Yao said, "Thank you." He walked straight up, and then Jiang Yi followed and sat next to her.
Xu Yao looked at him and sat next to him naturally, thinking, "He won't be at the same table as himself, oh, this is not good news!" β
Jiang Yi smiled as if he could read Xu Yao's thoughts, and said, "Don't worry, I don't sit here, I'm there in the first row-" Jiang Yi pointed to the middle of the first row, which was just symmetrical to Xu Yao's position.
"That's good," Xu Yao didn't refute, and directly showed that he didn't want him to sit next to him, "As long as you're not at the same table, anyone can." β
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yi's eyes had a trace of loss, Jiang Yi was still thinking that if Xu Yao wanted to be at the same table with him, then he would move over and sit, it turned out that everything was just his own passion.
Xu Yao didn't notice Jiang Yi's loss at all, and continued: "Why are you alone, and the others? Don't tell me, this big academy only has those children who are punished, and the two of us..."Xu Yao said that this is too much.
"Of course it's impossible, everyone else is in the East Academy, the master asked me to come to you," Jiang Yi smiled, what did this little girl think, how could it be, "Be careful yourself, the master doesn't like to be late." Then I didn't forget to remind him again.
At this time, Xu Yao repeatedly had two black lines on her forehead, she was in a very bad mood now, this was obviously the way the dean pointed him out, and she couldn't be completely blamed for being late.
"You follow me, hurry up, the whole class is waiting for you."
In this way, Xu Yao became even more nervous, although it was not socially afraid, but she still had a good face, if she was scolded by the master, wouldn't she lose face.
I followed Jiang Yi all the way, and I kept my head down and my face was sad, and finally arrived at the class in the East Courtyard, but Xu Yao stood at the door for a long time, not daring to step into the door.
Jiang Yi directly pushed open the door, frightened the master in the lecture hall and the students who were listening carefully.
"Master, the people have been brought, and your position is still what I told you just now." After saying that, he turned his head and returned to his position.
"Master, I just got lost, this academy is too big, and I'm too... No way. Xu Yao thought about it and finally thought of this reason in his mind, which should be relatively convincing.
"Alas, forget it, I read that today is your first day of school, so I won't punish you, go back to your seat." The Master's face was covered with wrinkles, wrinkles and forehead lines, and it was evident that he was indeed very knowledgeable.
"Yes!"
With that, Xu Yao hurriedly returned to her seat. After sitting down, he habitually turned his head to look, and it was actually Huang Wenbo.
Oh my! Who will save her, now she regrets it, she would rather be him Jiang Yi than Huang Wenbo.
Xu Yao stood up cautiously and spoke softly: "Master, can I adjust my seat?" It's a bit too close here. β
"Yes, you can sit where you want." The master is expressionless on the surface, but in his heart he is complaining that women are troublesome and hypocritical.
"Thank you, Master." After that, Xu Yao looked around and saw an excellent position, that is, the middle left of the fifth row, where the blackboard would not be too close, nor too far, just right.
Just as she was about to sit down, the eyes of the whole class were focused, and they seemed to be very surprised that she chose that position, but Xu Yao didn't care too much and sat down directly.
The Master just sighed and said, "Okay, the delay is long enough, now we start racing against time." Everyone must listen carefully, I will talk very quickly, and some students who can't keep up with the progress should make plans early! Obviously hinting to Xu Yao, she won't stay long.
