The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

In the spring of the 46th year of Chengyuan, a special edict issued by Emperor Chengyuan suddenly sounded like spring thunder over the mountains and rivers of Dachu.

In an instant, the courtiers in spring sleepiness, the aristocratic families recuperating, the gentry dozing off, the rich merchants fattening up, and the working people all woke up.

Just like everything revived after the Waking of Insects, after the special edict, the voice of discussion was bubbling up.

All kinds of talks, memorials, and admonitions came to the capital from all corners of Dachu like snowflakes.

"Wherever the great Chu reaches and where the emperor of the Great Chu governs, from the villages under the jurisdiction of the county, to the provinces, and even the capital, officials at all levels must recommend female talents on a quarterly basis. Lord, according to goodness, filial piety, friendliness and other behaviors."

Hearing the opening chapter of the special edict, Sheng Yuan's first reaction was: This is the special version of Ju Xiaolian!
According to the rhetoric behind the special edict, these specially recruited women are to be sent to government schools, the Ministry of Industry, etc. to serve.

Although they are not involved in officialdom for the time being, their grades, benefits, and treatment are based on their rank in the officialdom.

To put it simply, if an ordinary farming family produces a good female talent, it will be like a family raising a talented person, and the family will be upgraded in an instant.

Of course, it is far more difficult for an ordinary peasant family to produce a good female talent than to cultivate a talented person.

The factors are self-explanatory and will not be repeated here.

Not to mention the turmoil caused by the special edict in Dachu, but only the Yongfan Garden of the Duke of Shengguo's mansion, which also caused turmoil because of this edict.

The matter started with Sheng Yuan's sister Sheng An.

Ms. Anthrace, who is about 13 years old, has been admitted from the T-class class commonly known as "Mengxue" to the C-class class where she can take the children's entrance examination for nearly two years.

As a girl who is always ready to take the women's department, Sheng An and her partners have been waiting and preparing for it.

It's a pity that there has been no movement on the opening of the department.

Nowadays, most academies around the world, except for the Guozijian, stipulate that only girls in the C-class class are allowed to study until the age of 16, and then either transfer to the girls' school for another two years, or go home to do their own thing.

Although Sheng An is still three years away from turning 16, as the saying goes, people who have no foresight must have near-term worries, and it is not too early to make plans now.

According to the original plan, Sheng Xiangxun wanted to give Sister An an admission to the Imperial Academy.

He thought, sister Anthane's academic performance is good, and he also has a lot of contacts, so it is not easy to get a place.

Unexpectedly, those husbands and gentlemen in the cabinet didn't hold their farts as if they had eaten something bad.

As soon as he was about to fight for a place for Sister An, the cabinet helped the Imperial Academy to formulate several admission rules for women's schools.

The good name is to select good talents in the rough from the girls of the right age, and to select talents who can be used as role models through multiple checks.

What they said sounds good, but their so-called level-by-level checks are to ask the reference girls to use the examination papers of the Imperial College for Class C to B class!

As a result, the number of girls admitted to the Imperial College twice was so small that they could be counted on two hands.

But this group of people are very eloquent, and they blah blah in front of the emperor, as if this move will push more girls to private academies, and thus promote the Guozijian women's school to various places outside of Kyoto.

Tsk tsk tsk, that brazenness made him feel ashamed.

"It's all right now. With the special decree, I will definitely get the quota from the crown prince. This time, no one will want to shirk it to me." Sheng Xiangxun held the residence newspaper, mouth-to-mouth happy, and immediately patted his chest , proudly told his wife and children, "Sister An's quota for the Imperial College has been secured!"

"Yes, as long as you enter the Guozijian Girls' School, your student status will be preserved. Even if there is no letter in the women's imperial examination for a while, it doesn't matter if the eldest sister reaches the age of marriage. As long as you pass the course, you can sign up for reference at any time." Sheng Sheng Xin peeled walnuts to cheer for his father.

But without waiting for Sheng Xiangxun to play tricks on the prince's cousin, his little girl, who was about to take the Wushengding examination, used a doggerel to earn her sister a place in the Imperial Academy for Girls!

"[There is a girl in the Sheng family who is busy studying, and the brush is as long as rice paper in a vat; the Rimo scriptures are repeated three hundred times, and the pen spits pearls and embroiders articles.]"

Sheng Xin walked around Sheng Yuan, staring at the little guy's chubby cheeks.

Tsk tsk, the growth rate of this little guy's face is far faster than her growth rate!
"Sister Yuan, what a skill!"

Sheng Xin patted the head of the six-year-old girl, and nodded with a smile more gratified than his father:

"Very good! When it's time to fight for it, fight bravely! It's okay to brag!

After all, if you don't have enough talent, let's do it with shame! "

Sheng Yuan: "..."

To be honest, if she hadn't become familiar with this brother in the past two years and knew that this was his speaking style, she would have thought he was being sarcastic here!

Of course, even after knowing a lot about her brother, the six-year-old Sheng Yuan was still a little bit heartbroken when he heard the last sentence.

I remember that not long after I met her brother, out of brotherhood, she kindly told her brother who was preparing for the exam how to memorize classics, but after her brother heard it, he showed surprise and asked back with wide eyes: "Who needs to read books?" Twice?"

Listen!Listen!
Isn't this like what people say? !

Who needs to read twice? !
She read and couldn't remember it twice!What's wrong? !

Is it amazing to have a photographic memory? !

She, Sheng Xiaoyuan, read it several times and memorized it, and the content she came out of silently would not be different!

what's wrong!what's wrong!
Never forget!

Thinking about it now, Sheng Yuan still wants to cry: Woohoo, it took me a long time to find out, it's amazing to have a photographic memory!

It's a pity that she didn't light up this skill!
"Sister Yuan, didn't you take the primary school graduation exam today? Why did you go to the head of the mountain to brag about your sister again?" Sheng Xiangxun was a little confused.

Sheng Yuan left to look at her elder brother who looked at her like a rare species, and to the right to look at her sister who wished she could hold her dear, and quickly shrank into her mother's arms, before saying:

"The graduation exam is very simple, and it doesn't bother me at all! After I finished the exam, I went out to play. I happened to see the Guozijian's Xuelu and the girls in class C drawing big cakes. Whoever introduced himself well will give the recommended spot to me. Who."

Sheng Yuan said, turning her head to look at her sister: "I thought that my sister had just recovered from her foot injury and was still recuperating, so she must be at a disadvantage if she wasn't in the academy, so I went to report to that Xuelu and asked to introduce my sister."

Sheng An was moved when he heard it, and nodded repeatedly: "Even if I'm there, I'm afraid I might not be able to introduce it well."

"That's not it!" Seeing her sister's humility, Sheng Yuan immediately widened her eyes, "At that time, there were 30 to [-] girls! Less than [-]% of them introduced themselves! Those who introduced themselves were very humble! If my sister was here, I would definitely You can still win!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her brother giggled: "Are you saying that sister An can brag like you?"

"..." Sheng Yuan was displeased, and turned her head and shook her fist and asked, "How can this be bragging? I just exaggerated my sister's hard work in studying and combined everyone's learning volume. How can I do that?" Is it bragging? They are self-effacing and say they are stupid, but I am different! I praise my sister for being hardworking and smart, which is the opposite! This is self-expression, a true presentation, how can it become bragging? "
