Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 277
Later, Lin Xiaoqiao thought again, if Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu stayed in the town, when they went to the provincial capital, there would be no guards and drivers, and there would be no one cooking in the kitchen.

Anyway, his family is not short of money now, so Lin Xiaoqiao simply dragged Widow Zheng to Mrs. Huang's place, and picked out another servant, planning to take her to the provincial capital.

After all, when they arrived in the provincial capital, they were not familiar with the place where they lived, and they were not familiar with the matchmaker there, so Lin Xiaoqiao felt that it would be better to buy it and take it with him in a place he was familiar with. Widow Zheng agreed with this, and even She praised her delicate thoughts.

The servants of this newly bought house are a family of five, a couple, about 30 years old, the man is called Wang Ping, and it is said that he can read two characters roughly, and he looks very capable. Look at that woman. They are also dexterous and nimble. I heard that they used to do it in the kitchen. Lin Xiaoqiao called them 'Uncle Ping' and 'Aunt Ping'.

They are two husband and wife, with two sons and a daughter. The older one is one year younger than Erlang, and the younger one is only nine years old. Lin Xiaoqiao renamed them "Shuqing" and "Shumo". Let them follow Dalang and Erlang respectively.

There is also a little girl, who is only seven years old this year, named 'Yaya', Lin Xiaoqiao saw that she looks quite clever, so she didn't change her name for the time being, and asked her to follow his mother and help in the kitchen.

After everything was arranged properly, Lin Xiaoqiao's family and Chen Xuewen's mother and son set off for the provincial capital on the [-]th day of the first lunar month.

This time, including people and luggage, a total of four carriages can be loaded. Lin Xiaoqiao only has two carriages, and the other two have to be hired.

Fortunately, during the few days of walking on the road, the sky was clear and there was no snow. Lin Xiaoqiao and his party arrived there after only four days of walking.

After getting off the carriage and standing in front of the new house, Lin Xiaoqiao looked up at the sky and told himself that a new life was about to begin again...

The academy started on the [-]th of the first lunar month, so the day after they arrived in the provincial capital, Chen Xuewen rushed to report to the academy, and by the way, inquired about everything about their academy's enrollment of new students this year.

Every year the academy recruits a batch of new students, but there is a quota limit. On average, only one hundred new students are accepted a year.

Moreover, there is a special rule in this academy, that is, all students who study in this academy and have not been successful in six years must leave the academy.

When Lin Xiaoqiao heard this rule, he had to sigh, the dean of the academy is wise and strict, this rule can not only strictly control the quality of the students of the academy, but also for those who fail the exam repeatedly Students, in a disguised form, they pointed out a flexible path.

To explain this rule in a layman's terms, it means, those students who failed to pass the exam for six years, you should also see that you have a few pounds and a few taels on your body. Give up, find another way to go, why waste time on this way!
In addition, as soon as such regulations come out, the students in the academy will definitely compete even more. Lin Xiaoqiao can already foresee that after her two older brothers enter the academy, the pressure on her body will be a bit heavy after studying in this academy. how old are you.

Sigh, let's not talk about pressure or not, that's another story. What worries Lin Xiaoqiao's family most now is whether the two brothers can successfully enter this academy.

According to Chen Xuewen's inquiries, this year their academy only enrolls 110 new students, and the entrance examination for new students is scheduled to be held on February [-], ten days later.

Moreover, it is said that there are already more than 150 people who have signed up to take the exam, not to mention that there are three days left before the registration period. In the next three days, how many more people will have to register.

Moreover, all the students who signed up had achieved the title of scholar, that is to say, all the students who were able to take the college entrance examination all had similar starting points.

Upon hearing this statement, the expressions on the faces of the two brothers Dalang and Erlang became stiff at that time. This kind of challenge is no less than that of a scholar who tries every year.

Of course, there is not only such an academy in the provincial capital, there are also seven or eight other academies, large and small, but the one with the best reputation is the one where Chen Xuewen is.

In order to relieve the pressure on the two brothers, Lin Xiaoqiao also tried to persuade her two brothers whether they could give up this academy and choose other lesser ones to study.

Isn't there a common saying that 'the dwarfs choose the general', Lin Xiaoqiao didn't think it would be a good thing to enter this pressured academy.

Perhaps choosing a slightly inferior college to study and study can reduce a lot of mental burden, and can also get the favor and attention of the husband.

However, when Chen Xuewen heard this statement, he shook his head again and again, saying yes and no, the faculty of their academy is incomparable to all other academies in the provincial capital.

Moreover, every time a candidate takes the exam, [-] students go to their academy, and often [-] of them will pass the exam in the end. That's why there are so many students from all over the world who have to squeeze their heads and pass the exam. College entrance examination.

Faced with such a big competition, Lin Xiaoqiao felt a little bit like giving up, but the two brothers Dalang and Erlang were both ambitious and ambitious, and they were full of thoughts of swearing to the death to be admitted to this academy.

For the determination of the two brothers, Chen Xuewen gave great support and encouragement. On the same day, he took the two brothers to the academy to register for the entrance examination.

And every day when he came back from school, he would seize every minute and second to make up for the two brothers' homework, especially tutoring in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Because, although the entrance examination is mainly to test the Four Books and Five Classics, their academy emphasizes all-round development. For the students who come to study, they also have requirements for their own character and quality, so the test is not only about their Four Books Five classics, but also to test their attainments in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

It is not required to be proficient in everything, but you must understand the basics. If you don't know everything, the academy will definitely not accept it.

As for the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, Dalang Erlang had also come into contact with them before, but the teachers in the school at that time did not pay much attention to these. There was only one class at most.

Therefore, Chen Xuewen took a rough test, and the results of the four talents of the two brothers were really not good.

In addition to chess and calligraphy, the two brothers can do a little bit, but in terms of piano and painting, they really can only be said to have entered the school and understand a little bit of superficiality. That's all.

Especially for the art of piano, when Erlang plucked the strings, it was like howling a pig, which was really unbearable. It was really not easy to pass the entrance examination.
