Chapter 257: Farming

In detail, in terms of teaching and classlessness, Baishi Academy has indeed done a good job.

For example, one of the reasons why the academy placed the entrance examination around the winter solstice was that it was a time when the peasants were slack, so they would not miss the farming work of the poor children's families.

Of course, the main reason is that at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the universities are usually on holiday, and the examination will be held at this time, so that the students who take the examination will not affect the normal teaching of the college.

In any case, the rules that were set more than 100 years ago have continued to this day, and even if they are a little different now, the general outline has not changed. In this section alone, Baishi Academy deserves the reputation of "the first women's academy of the Great Song Dynasty".

In the midst of his thoughts, a cold wind suddenly blew across his cheeks, causing Wei Shu to come back to his senses.

She raised her hand and swept her sideburns, her movements stretched, and her demeanor was graceful.

The room was very quiet, and the sound of teeth fighting beside him had stopped, and through the half-opened curtain, the snow was dancing without wind, leisurely and indifferent, as if falling in spring, indescribably comfortable.

At this time, Wei Shu didn't know that the "masterpiece" she wrote on a whim would be judged by two completely different judgments: "The Road is Simple" and "Sensationalism" at the same time, and she didn't know that she was only one "verbal battle around the case" from the first place in the first place.

Her mind at the moment is all about one thing:

Where is the secret envoy of the golden man?

said that they wanted to come to observe, why have they disappeared so far?

I won't mention yesterday's literary exam, after all, it was also a strict exam, which can be called the "Women's Imperial Examination for Children's Students", so naturally you can't break the rules and let outsiders in.

But the art selection is not so strict.

Because there are so many types of exam questions, it is impossible for everyone to take the test at the same time, so the college issued a number plate to each candidate in advance. After getting the number plate, the candidates first waited for the invigilator to call the number in several classrooms in the East House, and then went to different examination rooms in batches to take the test.

And now, the exam has been going on for a while, and there are more and more vacant seats in the classroom, and Wei Shu is inevitably anxious.

If she couldn't take this opportunity to see the true face of the Jin State Secret Envoy, she would have to find another way, and this "other method" would most likely be a little risky to kill her head.

"No. 170, No. 59, No. 6, No. 13......"

A slightly hoarse voice sounded, interrupting Wei Shu's thoughts.

A new round of calling began.

She lowered her head and straightened the hem of her skirt, straightened the placket of her dress, and then stood up, and behaved in the extreme of rules, but there was no crampedness at all.

She noticed early on that these two invigilators were not only responsible for calling the number, but also secretly observing the etiquette of the students, and any negligence would be noted by them.

The invigilator's gaze quickly turned to Wei Shu, and after a few breaths, he nodded imperceptibly.

There were more than ten candidates who were called, and they walked up to the master in turn, asked the master to check the number plate, and reported their names and selected items, most of which were elegant items, and one or two of them were female workers.

The Master registered them one by one, and while carefully examining the faces of each candidate, he seemed to be recognizing his appearance.

Wei Shu found that the invigilator in front of him was the same as the master when he verified his identity yesterday, and he had not changed, and he wanted to come to other classes as well.

It's also a good way to prevent fraud.

As long as each master remembers the appearance, name, and subjects of some candidates the day before, and compares them in detail today, the occurrence of substitute exams can be basically eliminated.

Of course, the premise of all this is that there should not be too many candidates, and there should not be too few masters, otherwise, each master will not be able to remember the appearance of the students.

Thinking like this, Wei Shu glanced down at her number plate again.

Number Six.

A number that portends good signs.

Hopefully it will bring her some good luck.

After verifying the identity, the invigilator took Wei Shu and his party out of the East House.

There were already a few women waiting outside, but they were students left by the academy to help

The invigilator divided the candidates into several batches and handed them over to take to the corresponding examination room.

In a short time, only three of the more than ten candidates remained, Wei Shu was one of them, and the other two candidates were thin, dark and short; The other is tall and athletic, with a strong gait.

There were a few girls who stayed and didn't have to leave, so they looked at it curiously at this time.

"You three come with me to the North House." The invigilator said.

As soon as the words fell, there was a jagged inhalation sound in the field, and the female students who helped opened their eyes one by one, obviously surprised, and a round-faced girl couldn't help but exhale softly:

"Ah, someone really reported 'Go! It's been almost 10 years and no one has reported it......

"Silence!"

The invigilator interrupted her sharply.

The girl shrank her neck in fright, and she didn't dare to speak anymore.

When the master led Wei Shu and the three of them away, the round-faced girl patted her heart with palpitations and whispered:

"I was really scared to death, I didn't expect Deputy Du to talk about the murderous times."

The invigilator is Du Huiniang.

She is plain and modest, and the students are not very afraid of her, and it is rare to have a straight face, but she is more intimidating than others.

Du Huiniang didn't know that she was being talked about by the students.

Her heart fluctuated at the moment, and she was a little uncontrollable, so she finally calmed her breathing, stopped and looked back, and said to Wei Shu and the others:

"A few of you have some special subjects, and the examination rooms are all in the North House, so you have to walk a little way."

After a pause, his gaze turned to the thin girl, and her tone became softer and softer:

"Gu Mancang, Xuetian is the farthest away, I have to send the two of them to the school field first, and then I can send you to Xuetian."

Gakuta?

Husbandry?

Someone really applied for the agricultural exam?

Wei Shu was surprised, but there was no trace of discoloration on her face, and her steps were still calm.

Hearing the master's words, the tall girl thought that she had applied for the "Yu" exam like Wei Shu.

Wei Shu glanced at the little lady with the back of her eyes.

The tall girl didn't know whether she was nervous or didn't understand at this time, and was looking at Du Huiniang with a dull face.

Gu Mancang drooped her head, her body bowed like a shrimp, as if Du Huiniang's gaze was on her, and her body gradually bent downward.

"Yes, first...... Sir."

She said it almost to the ground, her voice too low to be heard.

Du Huiniang stared at her, and for a moment, she seemed to see another person from this rickety old woman's body, and saw ......

I was back then.

At that time, in the eyes of the invigilator, she should have been like this.

Cowering, timid, rustic, nothing the world has ever seen, and whoever talks to her can make her tremble like a frightened rabbit.

Du Huiniang's lips were open, and she wanted to say a few words, a few warm, ironing words, but in the end, she just sighed softly.

She turned and walked forward.
