v2.Chapter 386 (1/2)
Four years in Singapore.
When the Imperial Academy was set up in the palace, the children of the royal family and the sons of the aristocratic families sought admission one after another.
”Isn't that good?”
Yu Fu touched his chin and sat up, leaning on the concubine's couch. He handed the paper to Gu Shubai. ”You see, there are so many people. Where can Taixue accept it?”
Gu Shubai was sitting under the window reading a book. After hearing the book, he came to her and sat beside the couch. ”Then we should screen out the children who are too young and have poor qualifications. The original purpose of setting up the Taixue is to give the children a better education. The children who are not qualified enough may not understand even if they enter the school.”
”Yes.”
Yu Fu said: ”for the sake of Taixue, I specially asked Lianzhu and his wife to go back to their hometown and take baolaotaifu back in person. He has been a teacher of the royal family for three generations. He is very knowledgeable, so he can't be compared with the ordinary teachers outside. ”
She suddenly turned her eyes, took Gu Shubai's hand with a smile, and then said: ”but we are not of the same race, or relatives, or important ministers in the court. How can I pull this face to refuse other people's children...”
Gu Shubai sighed helplessly, ”I know. I'll do it.”
It's up to him to do all the things that offend people like this.
Yu Fu gave him a kiss on his face. When he was ticking the thunder and fire, he suddenly heard the children's footsteps outside the hall and ran in very fast.
”Father, mother, I'm going! And my brothers are going too! ”
Dingling clang, wearing rings ring ring, running in is Huashang, behind hula, followed by a group of maids, surrounded by her for fear of unexpected.
When she stood in front of them, the seven color gem was still shaking around her waist.
Gu Shubai said with a smile, ”you are the only princess in Dazhou. You are indispensable without anyone. As for Yuanzhang, they... ”
He deliberately sold a pass, Huashang was worried, ”Dad, my brothers treat me the best, they are also very smart and powerful, how about going to school together?”
Hua Shang was more coquettish than Yu Fu when he was a child. He swayed back and forth with his sleeve while talking, and then looked at Yu Fu with his mouth shriveled. He was pathetic.
Yu Fu chuckled, deliberately teasing her, ”I can't manage this. I've given it to your father.”
”Dad -”
Hua Chang drew a long ending, but Gu shubainai had no choice but to say, ”the Imperial College recruits 100 students, divided into five classes. In this way, regardless of age or gender, whether they are royal or official family children can apply, but after registration, they need an entrance examination. Taking the top 100 in this exam is fair and doesn't offend people. What do you think? ”
Two girls, one big and the other small, nodded to him
In the following time, the Imperial Academy began to formulate appropriate examination questions, which were supervised and presided over by the Imperial Academy inspector. He had already returned home and become a nobility, and Bao laotaifu was on the side to give some advice.
No matter Ning'an and Ning Ping in Kunyu Yang's mansion, or yuan Zhang and Jiao Jiao, who are in charge of the family, they are honest all of a sudden. They don't come to Huashang to play around.
Hua Chang also honestly stayed in his small study and made up for several days' lessons.
She made all the lessons herself, such as reading in the morning and practicing calligraphy in the afternoon. Another example is reading the Analects of Confucius today and historical records tomorrow.
Yu Fu and Gu Shubai occasionally mention her when they are free, and most of the time she studies by herself.
Yinling and Yinxue are outside the small library in her bedroom. They look inside and go out quietly. ”The princess has studied very hard. In fact, I don't think she has to worry at all. How can she fail in the exam? Our princess has been a child prodigy since she was three years old. If she can't pass the exam, how can others pass it? ”
Silver Bell said with a smile that Hua Shang was too cautious.
But Yinxue knew some of Huashang's thoughts and said, ”do you want to pass the exam? Our princess is the only princess in Dazhou, who bears a heavy responsibility. Since it's a test to get a place, the princess's temperament must be the first in the test. She is satisfied. How can the princess be compared with other children? ”
Yinling was stunned and thought about it. With Huashang's temperament, she might really think like this, ”yes, then why didn't she go to your majesty and the eldest son to ask questions? She's only four years old. It's said that some children who want to come to Taixue are almost ten years old. How can a princess compare with her? ”
Silver snow hushed hastily, ”quick don't say this! There was also a little maid in waiting for the princess to say, ”the princess is angry. She says that she should be upright and not cheat.”
Silver bell vomited tongue, didn't say what, two people straight back to Changsheng hall.
”How's Hua Shang?”
Yu Fu sat at the back of the imperial case and looked at the fold. Seeing that they came back to ask questions, Yin Xuefu said, ”don't worry, your majesty. It's good that the princess is studious. The maid has already asked her maid, Hongxiao and Hongling, who are close to her. She says that the princess has been eating and sleeping on time
”Good. I don't think a mere imperial examination can defeat Hua Shang, but ask me, you all go down. ”
”Yes.”
”Oh, yes.”
Yu Fu suddenly thought of something and raised his head and said, ”silver snow, have you found out the pair of Dongzhu steps?”Silver snow said with a smile: ”found out, the day before yesterday your majesty said the maid found out, is it directly sent to the grand master's wife?”
”Well,” Yu Fu said with a smile, ”Yao LAN is more mature and steady now. She really has the style of the grand master's wife. What makes me even more happy is that the Heavenly Master knows the rules more and more now. He is not always out of order in front of me as he used to be. It's good to have a good wife. ”
Both Yinling and Yinxue smile and dare not laugh at tianyunpo and yaolan like her.
Yu Fu then said, ”when Lian Bi entered the Palace last time, what other white jade did Kunlun pay tribute to?”
Silver Bell said: ”my Lord, in addition to the biggest piece of white jade Ruyi gave to the youngest of the six childe's family, there are two small pieces of jade shoes inlaid for the princess. The rest are here.”
Yu Fu said: ”that's just right. Send the white jade hairpin to Lian Bi and the bracelet to Lian Zhu. They are all people who have been with me since I was a child. Now they are all married out, which makes me reluctant to part with them. ”
After yaolan and Lianbi got married, the female officials in charge of Changsheng palace became Yinling and Yinxue. They knew that Yufu was good to the maid beside them. After hearing the words, they advised: ”they often go into the palace to talk with your majesty. Doesn't your majesty often send things to them? Once upon a time, Yao LAN talked every day about her refusal to get married. Her Majesty insisted on marrying her. She said that she was not young. Now that she is married, your majesty is so reluctant. ”
After Yinling said that, she covered her mouth and laughed. Yinxue said quickly, ”well, you little hoof, even your majesty dares to laugh. Don't be angry, your majesty. I'll tear her mouth for you! ”
Yu Fu snorted, ”I'll know when you get married. You two are not young. Don't laugh at each other.”
Two people smell speech busy express oneself don't want to marry, again talk and laugh for a while, silver snow busy go to send the thing that jade helps to account out of the palace.
In the twinkling of an eye, on the day of the imperial college entrance examination, because there were so many children taking part in the examination, they were divided into two groups according to their age. The top 50 students were older than five years old, and the top 50 students were younger than five years old.
This is the rule set by old lady Bao Fu, so as not to let the older children be screened out.
No one objected to Fu Ding's rules, and all the officials who took part in it were happy. After all, Princess Jinling was only four years old!
They once hinted to his majesty and the Regent whether they wanted to talk to the princess in advance, but they all came back with a rebuff and were scolded for cheating and flattering.
So far, no one dares to say that again.
Taixue is located in a secluded hall not far from the east palace. There is a corner gate close to the palace wall for easy access. There is a special Imperial Guard on duty here to prevent outsiders from entering and children from playing and getting hurt.
The green bamboo pole is long and slender, and the hollow bamboo knot whines in the breeze, which makes it very quiet.
Outside, through the window, you can see the antique decoration inside, simple and elegant. The children are sitting on the thick nanmu square table, writing hard.
The Ming Huang guard of honor stops in the bamboo forest. Yu Fu and Gu Shubai walk forward and recall their youth on the stone road in the forest.
”Big brother, do you think the layout here looks like the Guangxia bookstore in guhou mansion?”
