Chapter 549： Before the King (6) (1/2)
The emperor thought for a while, then asked, ”Is there any merit?”
”No,” Nangong Yan replied. ”The elder brother picked up the gentleman Liuyi a few months ago.”
The emperor was surprised. ”Just a few months?” He thought the family education of the Nangong family was harsh, and even a child with a mental loss could teach it to such an extent.
Nangong Kun nodded calmly: ”My brother was thinking of” Yu Xue ”when he was injured, and he has been reading” Yu Xue ”since then. Unfortunately, even a” Yu Xue ”was taught for a full six years. , ”It wasn't until a few days ago that Dad restarted teaching the Book of Songs and Mencius.”
The emperor couldn't help but admire: ”It is really a smart child.”
Nangong Yan couldn't stop tears. When her brother was injured, she was young and had no deep memory. This was the first time she had heard someone praise her brother for her intelligence. She bowed her knees and said gratefully, ”The Emperor Xie praised.”
Nangong Xin also followed her saluting, ”Xie Xie!”
”That being the case, I will reward Brother Xin for his grace.” The emperor said for a while, ”let him take the test of this year's children.”
The Dayu Dynasty is different from the previous one. Before the county test, there will be a child test, which is used as a threshold for screening students. Only passing the child test can be considered to be eligible for the imperial examinations, which can be said to be a very important part. . The registration of the Tongsheng test is generally performed one year before the examination by the prefecture's prefecture where the household registration is located. Nangong Xin has already missed this session of the exam, and the next one will be three years later. Now the emperor gave such a grace, but it made Nangong Xiu overjoyed.
Nangong Xi will not care if Nangong Xin can be tested. At least this grace of the emperor is in the eyes of outsiders. Nangong Xin will no longer be a ”fool.”
She pulled Nangong Xin saluting again: ”Thank you, Emperor!”
