The rules and regulations written by Xue Huan were ultimately derived from modern times, and some of them are not suitable for students of this era, so we need everyone to brainstorm and continuously improve the school rules and regulations.
Among them, Feng Xian, who has been in the education circle for decades, has the most say and provided a lot of useful suggestions.
Nan Tang wrote down the main points of everyone's speeches in his elegant and neat small calligraphy, without any perfunctory writing due to time constraints.
The class timetable has also been discussed and is formulated based on the importance of the subjects and the time available for the teachers, so it is very flexible in its arrangement.
The official classes start on the 17th. Although the 16th is the scheduled start date, we still have to register the students, arrange for them to stay in the dormitory, and help them familiarize themselves with the campus. All these trivial matters will take time.
After the classes officially start, the students' breakfast time is from 7:30 to 8:00, with a half-hour lunch break. Classes will start on time at 8:00, with each class lasting 45 minutes. There will be a quarter-hour break after class.
There are four classes in the morning, and school ends at 11:45 for lunch. There is a class at 1:30 pm in the afternoon, which is also four classes, and school ends at 5:15.
After school, students can arrange their time freely, but they are not allowed to leave the campus. The bedtime is at the beginning of the evening (9 o'clock), and the lights in the dormitory must be turned off at 9 o'clock.
There are five days of classes in a row, followed by two days of rest.
After Xue Huan raised this point, Feng Xian frowned. He felt that the holiday was a bit too long. "Ordinary academies only have one day off every ten days. Isn't our academy too lenient? Besides, the dean also said that students are here to learn life skills. Shouldn't they make the most of their time to study?"
Others agreed.
Xue Huan thought about it and felt that it made sense. It seemed that five days of school and two days of vacation only existed in the era when she was a child. Later, primary school students became very miserable. Even during the holidays, there were endless tutoring classes and extracurricular classes to attend.
"Then we'll have six days of school and one day off. The oldest of these children is only around ten years old and has never been to school before. It will definitely take some time for them to adjust to attending school all of a sudden. Ten days straight might be too much for them. When they reach a higher grade, we can extend their school days."
This time no one objected.
By this point in the discussion, it was already getting late. Xue Huan stood up and stretched. "That's all for today, let's adjourn the meeting. Teacher Nan, could you please prepare the meeting minutes for me before lights out today?"
Nan Tang nodded: "No problem."
"Okay, let's go and have dinner." Xue Huan smiled and called Mei Jiqin and several female teachers.
Although she was talking and laughing during the meeting, she still exuded the aura of a superior, which made people unconsciously ignore her age and gender. However, now that she had come down from the conference table, she became friendly and lovely again.
I walked towards the cafeteria with Mei Jiqin and a few others, chatting and laughing, discussing what delicious food would be prepared in the cafeteria today.
Several male teachers including Nan Tang fell behind.
The Lantern Festival came in a blink of an eye.
The streets are full of sheds built with colorful flags, stacked up like mountains. On the sheds are painted various fairy tales, or figures selling medicine and fortune telling in the streets, as well as romantic scenes of men and women meeting each other, like a static drama.
There are gatehouses in front of the shed, decorated with lights and colorful decorations.
As night fell, lights were lit everywhere, and the entire Fengchi County was submerged in a sea of lights. On the streets, golden lights reflected each other, and colorful banners made of brocade were shining brightly.
In those sheds, various performances have been taking place one after another.
There were magic tricks, singing and dancing, ball-playing, tightrope-walking, sword-swallowing and fire-breathing, puppets and golems... it was simply too much to watch.
The sounds of music, voices, hawking, cheering...all kinds of sounds intertwined together, creating a deafening clamor.
It's like moving the brothels to the streets.
Xue Huan and her family went out after dinner. As soon as they walked out of the alley, the hot smell of fireworks hit them in the face.
At a glance, the streets are full of lights and people.
Xue's mother warned the children: "Be careful."
There is a lantern stall every few steps. Some sell lanterns directly, while others set up riddles. If you guess the right answer, you can get a lantern as a prize. Others use the method of guessing to attract passers-by.
Guanpu is a gambling game in which goods are used as bait to gamble money.
Not far ahead there is a Guanpu lantern stall. There are not many lanterns on the stall, but they are all extremely exquisite and unique, so it attracts many people to come and watch.
Xue Huan took a fancy to a Qiongqi lantern on the stall. Qiongqi was an ancient evil beast. It was said to be as big as a cow, looked like a tiger, had the fur of a hedgehog, had a pair of wings, sounded like a dog, and lived by eating humans.
The Qiongqi lantern only had the appearance of Qiongqi, but was not as ferocious as Qiongqi. It was only the size of a cantaloupe, and its two bulging eyes were deliberately made large, but embedded in that furry face, it looked ferociously cute.
When it moves its wings, it actually makes a sound similar to a dog barking.
This lantern also uses sophisticated mechanical technology.
The stall owner was eating with a bowl of food. When he saw Xue Huan and her group approaching, he called out, "Do you want to buy or just pounce?"
Xue Huan pointed at the Qiongqi lantern and asked, "How much does it cost to buy it? And how do you get rid of it?"
The stall owner gestured towards her with his free hand. "Five taels of silver, fixed price. It's cheaper if you throw it. See those five copper coins on the table? If they roll 'pure', you win, and you can take the lantern."
Five taels of silver could buy dozens of ordinary lanterns. Everyone who asked the price thought it was too expensive and chose to buy them.
But no one has won so far.
The front of a copper coin is called "character", and the back is called "pure", while "pure" means that all copper coins are on the back.
It is not difficult to throw a coin to get the back side, but it is not so easy to throw five coins to get the back side at the same time. It can be said to be very difficult.
This is why so many people have tried but failed.
Before the attack, both parties have to offer a bet. The stall owner's bet is naturally the lantern that the customer has taken a fancy to, and the value of the bet offered by the customer cannot be too different from that of the lantern, otherwise the stall owner will not agree.
Xue Huan pulled out a pearl filigree hairpin from her head, ready to use it as a bet, but was stopped by Pei Ji. He directly threw a five-liang silver ingot over to her, "Han Huan, use this."
How could he allow Huanhuan's hairpin to fall into the hands of others?
Silver ingots are obviously more appealing than hairpins, so the stall owner naturally has no reason to disagree.
Xue Huan stepped forward and grabbed five copper coins one by one. When she threw them, she did not use any spiritual power or magic, otherwise it would be too bullying.
And she also wanted to see how lucky she was.
