Chapter 121, he is also a dragon son and a phoenix grandson
Du Feng and Ah Ji went their separate ways, and soon brought back Xiao Junxin's identity documents.
Cai Xiaojun, 12 years old, a native of the state, the only son in the family, his parents have been taking him to make a living in other places, and there are no relatives in his hometown.
Later, his parents died of illness one after another, and before leaving, he arranged for the old servant to take the seven-year-old Xiaojun to take refuge in the Qingsong Temple in Jizhou, and he had an old relationship with the master.
After the old servant died of illness, Xiaojun grew up in Qingsong Temple until he was twelve years old, and was personally taught by the master.
His father left a sum of money before he died, and his last words told him not to cut off the Cai family's incense, so he planned to go to Beijing to study, so as to have a future and glory for his ancestors.
In the future, he not only had the nationality documents of the state government, but also the certification documents of Qingsongguan, and the household registration documents of Jizhou.
The identity problem is completely solved, and you can really start going to school.
The school year in Da Zhou happens to be a whole year.
Because Taizu believed that it was better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, he opened a social practice course at the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, which was not a compulsory course, but it was necessary to pass.
And because the ancients attached great importance to returning to their hometowns to worship their ancestors during the New Year, the holidays were very long, and there were many short vacations.
The winter vacation lasts for two months, with the end of November (lunar calendar) and the first day of the lunar month.
Report at the end of the first month of the next year, and the first day of February will be the unified start of school, and the new school year will begin.
The summer vacation is only one month, with a holiday on June 10 and a school start on July 10, so you can escape the summer and study abroad.
The college's recruitment exam is also at the end of November, and Xiaojun has to choose the college he wants to take in advance, and he has to register in advance.
After the admission results came out, he would go to Qingsongguan in Jizhou to live temporarily for a period of time, and return to Chang'an to report before the end of the next year.
First, in order to familiarize yourself with the living environment of the new identity and the customs and language of Jizhou in advance, so as not to show your feet in the future.
The second is to register with the Jizhou Education Department and obtain the qualification for the next year's children's examination.
Jizhou to the capital is a long way, no matter how strict the investigation and fierce beating, the remote road section is still inevitably some fish and outlaws.
Ah Ji insisted on escorting him back and forth, but Xiaojun had no choice but to respond, in fact, he was not so weak.
Everyone is very busy, even Xiao Zhe is busy preparing for next year's school, and can only talk for a while at the dinner table and after dinner.
Qingling felt that the dinner table was the best time to chat and gossip, as long as it didn't affect his appetite, he had already broken the rule of not saying anything about eating.
"Brother Xiaojun, which college are you going to apply for, do you want to listen to my opinion? I've done a thorough study! ”
The purpose of the study was mainly curiosity, because she wanted to see how the ancient and modern education systems differed, and to discover what could be improved, which was actually very interesting.
Xiao Jun looked at the little appearance of the light and bright and talked eloquently, and his heart warmed.
"The two masters did not recommend me to go to the official school, because the fees are low and highly respected, and the four official schools in Beijing are overcrowded.
Moreover, the environmental facilities and teachers are average, and famous teachers and top students are basically poached by private colleges.
The advantages are strict management, rigorous academic management, high overall quality of students, and the highest success rate of scientific examinations.
Several well-known private colleges have high fees, good conditions, strong faculty, and flexible teaching methods.
The disadvantage is that the relationship is complicated, there are many privileged students and favored students, and the students are also mixed and uneven.
They said that what I lacked was life experience, and my temperament was old-fashioned and cold, so I needed to polish my experience in this kind of place.
I plan to choose one between the Imperial Capital Academy and Chang'an Academy, what is Sister Ling'er's opinion? ”
In fact, there are two military academies directly under the Ministry of War, one for cultivating talents and the other for researching weapons, which are not within Xiaojun's consideration.
Qingling admired it very much, and his grandfather and Yunyin Dao Chang almost analyzed the official and private studies thoroughly.
The most famous private male schools in Chang'an City are Imperial Capital College, Chang'an University, Hantang University and Pengcheng College.
Since Brother Xiaojun humbly asked for advice, he was not ashamed to ask, and said lightly with a bamboo tube pouring beans:
"I'll talk about the four most famous first, and you probably won't consider the others.
Imperial Capital College is the most high-end private men's school in the whole week, with high fees, first-class facilities and teachers.
Most of the students are either rich or expensive, and the quality is uneven, there are the top students, and there are also the second and third ancestors who come to gild and mix people.
There are many circles in the academy, all of which follow the principle of gathering people by like, and there are three of the most famous circles:
The first is the circle of the elite, everything depends on the origin and relationship, the big circle sets the small circle, and the relationship is very complicated.
Insiders may also be forced to stand in line, not standing out, standing up and causing trouble, in fact, it is not easy to mix.
The second famous circle is the rich circle, the second and third ancestors of the richest Zhou Dynasty, and the style can be imagined.
The third circle is the academic circle, which is the golden signboard of the college, you don't look at your background, you only look at your grades, you will be treated specially, as long as you are willing, you will definitely enter this circle.
As for the other circles, they are just like things, people are grouped, and they are just warm (happy) together.
Legend has it that the Imperial Capital Academy also has a top-level circle, and its background and grades must be first-class to get in.
The insiders are the elite of the elite, the dragon and the phoenix of the dragon and the phoenix, and the realm that ordinary people can't reach in their lifetime.
Chang'an College is actually a low-profile version of Imperial Capital College, with environmental facilities, faculty and student levels, all of which are a notch lower.
But it's not something that ordinary people can do, either they have a family background or have good grades.
Hantang College is almost the same as Pengcheng College, and they are both a grade lower than Chang'an College, so it is also the existence that students in the world are fascinated by.
There are other large and small academies, and I will slowly see them later.
Brother Xiaojun, I suggest you go to the Imperial Capital Academy, if you want to go, go to the best!
I heard that the princes and clansmen have finished their studies in the palace, and they will go to the Imperial Capital Academy for two years, and you can still see the dragons and phoenixes when you go! ”
Xiao Jun was stunned, the prince's relatives? Dragons and phoenixes? Could it be that if you go to the Imperial Capital Academy, you can still meet his good brothers?
No, no, they are all younger than themselves, just enough to miss it, Sister Ling'er doesn't know, he is also a dragon son and a phoenix grandson.
He remembered that when he was five years old, one of his father's aides had told him:
After the princes and daughters of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the descendants of the clan reach the age of five, there will be older female teachers with excellent character and learning to enlighten their wisdom.
At the age of six, he began to study in the palace for six years, and then he had to study in the academy outside the palace for two years.
When he was five years old, he was still on the way to the capital, either in a hurry or moving, often in a hurry.
He was often beaten, scolded and punished by his mother, and was forced to stay up late to study, and was in fear and sleepiness all day long, almost forgetting these rules.
When his father was at home, he sent military advisors and staff members to teach him to read and write in turn, and also sent people to teach him riding and archery kung fu, and occasionally taught him in person.
He was very happy every time he took the school entrance examination, praising him for his talent, intelligence and sensibility.
He liked it very much when his father complimented him, because his mother would be happy for many days, and he would be able to live in peace for a while.
At that time, he was young, but he didn't know the identity of his eldest son, coupled with his father's praise, it was simply a life-urging talisman.
Some time ago, Shizu also said that there were rumors outside that different people had been secretly searching for the whereabouts of the emperor's eldest son over the years.
Is it because they have not seen themselves die that they have always been uneasy?
Or does his father still have a little affection for him?
