Today is not only the day for students to register, but also the day for teachers to take exams.
At present, apart from the three teachers, there are only the cook and a few students she transferred from the workshop to be in charge of registration matters. They have studied in the workshop for more than a year before, so they can still help out.
In order to keep the examination room quiet, the two groups of people need to walk along two completely opposite routes after climbing up from the bottom of the mountain, which can clearly separate the two groups of people.
The three of them were in charge of the teachers, while the students were taken care of by other senior students. Looking at the familiar faces, Shen Jia couldn't help but smile.
All those who had come to inquire about her in advance did not fail to show up, and the most eye-catching one was Wu Zhenrong, the daughter of County Magistrate Wu.
Perhaps because she was kept in seclusion and unknown to the world, no one came to greet her. The main reason was that she and Mrs. Wu were the only ones who came up along the winding mountain road planned by Shen Jia that was suitable for carriages.
It seems that the other party has an extraordinary identity, but I don’t know why such a person would come to this academy?
Seeing an acquaintance, Shen Jia naturally wanted to go forward and greet her. So after watching Mrs. Wu get off the car, he bowed and asked:
"Why are you here in person today, Aunt? Our place is quite simple, and I have to deal with the teacher's assessment later. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for me to greet you, Aunt. Please forgive me."
Mrs. Wu began to carefully observe the surrounding environment from the foot of the mountain. It looked similar to the academy where Wu Lang was studying. The academy was a place for learning and it was common sense to be indifferent to material things.
Only when I arrived at the mountain gate did I feel the extraordinary momentum. Moreover, I only saw young ladies along the way, and I believed her husband's words even more.
Originally, she didn't want her daughter to be in public when she reached the age of marriage, but when she thought about her husband's repeated advice, she had to agree.
There are no great scholars or famous people here, and I guess there is no long-term purpose in running this business. I just think of it as a way for my daughter to relax before her marriage and support her husband casually.
Thinking of this, she put on her usual familiar gentle mask and said to Shen Jia and the other two:
"No need to be so polite. I'm just seeing Rong Niang off and taking her to the exam. You guys just focus on your own business. I'll just take a stroll around the academy. I've heard from your uncle a long time ago that you built the academy beautifully and that the layout is unique. I happen to have some free time today to enjoy it."
Come, say hello to Jia Niang, Yue Niang, and Auntie."
After saying that, he shouted to his daughter behind him.
Wu Zhenrong was still the same as when Shen Jia met her last time, and her temperament was vaguely similar to Li Qingyu.
However, Li Qingyu still has her own tenacity and courage in her eyes, while Wu Zhenrong is naive and weak, ignorant of the world.
After greeting each other, Shen Jia and the other two looked at the sundial in front of the mountain gate and estimated that it was about time. They took Wu Zhenrong to the examination classroom.
The three of them racked their brains when setting the questions this time. Not only did they involve some classic books, but there were also some questions that subtly tested the women's thoughts.
After all, a women's academy not only needs three pioneers, Shen Jia, Shen Min, and Shen Yue, but also more like-minded partners to create the atmosphere of the entire academy.
There were a total of twenty-five people taking the test this time, which was far less than she expected.
Shen Jia didn't know who would pass, so when handing out the exam papers, he said:
"I hope all the teachers will give their all and be able to join our Hongmeng Academy. Without further ado, let's begin our assessment immediately."
Then the three of them began to distribute the test papers according to the process Shen Jia said. This time they adopted a simplified version of the modern examination process.
The exam lasts for one hour, and there will be a reminder at the last quarter of an hour. Students are not allowed to leave the venue during the exam. The three people will also be on site to watch the entire process of the exam for 25 people.
The moment Shen Jia said the exam was about to begin, the only sounds heard were the friction of the test papers and the sound of the ink pen brushing against the inkstone.
In the eyes of the invigilator, time passes very slowly, but that is not the case for those taking the exam.
The previous questions might be okay, as I had read a sentence or two in the book, so explaining them was not a problem. But the more I wrote, the more I felt that I was not knowledgeable enough.
Apart from that, the questions are very biased, covering almost everything from poetry, books, rituals and music, especially the last few questions, which make people feel that the men's imperial examination is no more than the same.
It even asked: Men can take the imperial examinations, join the army, and make contributions to the court, while women are trapped in the inner house. How should they be compared to men?
Men are responsible for the outside world, while women are responsible for the inside. This is almost the unspoken rule in the world. Now, several women are taking lessons at the academy, and some are acting as teachers. Isn't this an insurrection of the natural order?
This almost indicates that the two sides are not acting equally in the world, or what has caused the current situation?
Are women not allowed to make their own decisions in these two areas? From the moment they choose to come here, are they already doing something that goes against moral principles?
Every word he spoke was a test of people's souls, and they didn't realize that they were doing something so serious. Now that they were questioned, several of them looked embarrassed and their faces were pale.
Shen Jia has considered all these situations. Due to the special nature of the academy, it would be better for these teachers to have better ability to withstand pressure.
Because you never know where the despicable people in this world come from, and they are the most likely to disturb people's minds.
Regardless of the mood of the people on the field at this time, Shen Jia reminded them once that it was time to hand in the papers in a quarter of an hour. Perhaps because of Shen Jia's reminder, everyone suddenly became busy and there was a lot of noise on the field.
When the exam was over, everyone had a look of joy on their faces, not knowing whether it was because they were finally done with the torture of the test paper or because they were happy with their own results.
After collecting the test papers, Shen Jia looked at everyone and said, "Thank you all for participating in the Hongmeng Academy's assessment. The results are expected to be announced in three days.
If you are renting a room in Linyuan County and it is inconvenient, you can stay in the dormitory of our Hongmeng Academy and observe the environment of the academy. You don’t have to walk back and forth in a short time, which is very inconvenient. "
Upon hearing this, everyone present turned their heads to look at the people around them. After a brief thought, ten people still followed Shen Jia's advice.
They all came from other counties and were temporarily staying in an inn in this county. They had originally planned to go home after the exam, but now they heard that the results would be announced in a few days, and it would be inconvenient to travel back and forth. Staying in the academy temporarily was indeed a good choice.
As for student registration, today is the first day of registration for the academy. Since those who have been studying in the workshop school before do not need to register, almost all those who come now are from other counties or those who hesitated before.
It seems that the number is not much different. The registration period this time is a total of ten days, just to give the academy enough time to recruit students. After all, her publicity has reached Hezhou.
