208 208 Extraordinary
◎ Thumbs up! She is indeed a girl he recognizes. ◎
As soon as Mo Yu returned to the capital with Lin Ruhai, he was shocked by the atmosphere of "Lin fans" all over the city.
I don't know what happened, but after a few months of absence, the whole streets and alleys of the capital were actually singing the story of the Lin family
's daughter shining brightly in the entrance examination of the "Imperial Academy". Before Mo Yu and Lin Ruhai entered the Lin Mansion, they had been "forced" to understand the whole story clearly - there was no way, Xiao Daiyu had too many fans, it was comparable to the pomp of a superstar, without anyone saying anything, many people spontaneously promoted her deeds to passers-by.
It was really surprising.
When they finally figured out what Xiao Daiyu had done, Lin Ruhai felt very complicated, but Mo Yu was very happy.
Unlike Lin Ruhai, who was "humble" and "reserved" from traditional Confucianism, Mo Yu, a modern soul, had no idea of "hiding his shortcomings".
Why hide? People who are already excellent should show it openly and be admired and respected by everyone.
In addition, Xiao Daiyu was his biological sister. She was so excellent that Mo Yu felt that he was "honored" as her family member.
What was there to be afraid of? Anyway, their Lin family was already prominent enough, and they didn't need a celebrity like Xiao Daiyu.
In fact, Mo Yu knew that Xiao Daiyu was determined to study at the highest institution of learning, the "Imperial Academy".
Mo Yu had known about this long before this accompanying tour, and it was Xiao Daiyu who told him in person. After
six years of getting along, Mo Yu and Xiao Daiyu have become like siblings - of course, in name they are still siblings, but Mo Yu is a mature soul from the real world, completely different from the extremely smart but naive Xiao Daiyu.
This gap is not reflected in IQ, but mainly in life experience.
The more time they spend together, the more obvious this gap becomes.
So, gradually, Mo Yu, who is more than a year younger in body age, looks like the older brother, and Xiao Daiyu, who was originally the older sister, looks like the younger sister.
Well, although it has deviated a lot from the original plot, the feeling of turning the heroine of the abused novel into a pampered heroine is not bad.
As he is actually the "older brother", Xiao Daiyu and Mo Yu are basically in a state of talking about everything. The relationship between the two siblings is even closer than that with Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, the parents.
Therefore, Mo Yu is the first person in the family to know that his little Daiyu has lofty ambitions and wants to go to the highest institution of learning for further studies.
Originally, Mo Yu thought that Xiao Daiyu was going to the "National Women's University".
After all, this was originally the highest institution of learning that he participated in the establishment of, which is specifically for talented women in the country who are buried in the backyard.
But what Mo Yu never expected was that Xiao Daiyu was even bolder than he imagined.
She actually played a trick of "disguising as a man" and went directly to the Imperial College to take part in the entrance examination.
The key point is that if she was just playing around, it would be fine. Even if she poked something, it would be just a little girl playing around. But what Mo Yu never expected was that Xiao Daiyu just wrote a few poems and an article and won the first place.
It is said that the headmaster of the Imperial College was moved to tears on the spot and repeatedly claimed that this was a "once-in-a-century genius."
Li Shouzhong, the chief of the Imperial College, also praised it. Not only did he completely agree with the old headmaster's point of view, he even judged from the handwriting of the candidate's answer sheet that this candidate must be a young man with both talent and beauty.
After all, "the handwriting reflects the person", and if the handwriting is so beautiful, he must be good-looking... I didn't expect you to be such a Li Jijiu, it's true that "you can't judge a person by his appearance".
So, how can you not meet this elite young man in person? So
the two old men hit it off and supported each other to meet the candidate who was answering the paper.
Xiao Daiyu originally wanted to take a look at the test questions and answer them casually - the reason why she dared to come was, on the one hand, she had discussed it with Mo Yu in advance, and on the other hand, she had been holding her breath in her heart and wanted to try how difficult the questions for men's exams were.
When discussing with Mo Yu, although she did not explicitly say that she was going to the Imperial College, in her heart, the first institution of learning in the Qing Dynasty was the Imperial College.
Although the National Women's University is good, it is not challenging for her.
"Is it only girls who can go, or can everyone go? If only girls can go, then what's the fun of it?"
Although her brother, who was known as the "little god", had spent a lot of effort on that school, Xiao Daiyu always felt a little uncomfortable.
At this time, she didn't know where this discomfort came from, but she felt that the "Imperial College" for men and the "National Women's University" for women had to be separated, which made her a little unhappy.
Although she already knew about the separation of men and women at her age, in view of the fact that the Lin family, from Lin Ruhai to Jia Min, were all enlightened parents, and Mo Yu was a variable who did not play by the rules, Xiao Daiyu's thoughts were much more mature than her peers.
Not only was she much better than the girls and boys of the same age, she was even somewhat beyond the times. There was nothing she could do about it. Who asked her to grow up with a book-crossing person from the modern era? It was normal for her to be affected.
Why should women be "inferior"?
They also separated the schools into two. Wasn't it because some things that men had to learn were not allowed to be learned by women?
She also wanted to learn what the men learned, and she felt that she was no worse than those men.
Not to mention her family's origin of learning, even if she had to start from scratch without any foundation, she was confident that she was no worse than anyone else... Originally, this idea was just a bud, but as she came into contact with her brother more and more and listened to his "voices", Xiao Daiyu's thoughts gradually changed.
After all, he is the reincarnation of a smart fairy. Little Daiyu actually gradually realized the true meaning of the world from Mo Yu's "voices". All
people are born equal, regardless of gender, age, and nationality, everyone should enjoy the same rights.
Although at first, Little Daiyu felt that these ideas in her brother's mind were strange like everyone else, but over time, she slowly felt that these things her brother thought were really amazing.
At the same time, she also vaguely guessed that her brother was probably not from their world - of course, the little fairy's words might be right, after all, no one has ever seen what the real fairyland looks like.
But their world is really enviable.
Is there really such a beautiful world?
If there is, she also wants to try it...
Xiao Daiyu certainly doesn't know that she was originally a "fairy flower in Langyuan" and was originally different from others.
She can't even fully understand why Mo Yu is so different, but at least there is one thing she can be sure of, that is, in the world where Mo Yu is, women and men are the same, they can study and become officials, which is really good.
This idea reached its peak when even her little fairy brother compromised with this world and left the Imperial College with strong faculty and long history unused, and independently set up a "National Women's University".
It's not that this is bad, but I always feel a little unhappy in my heart. Why?
So, Xiao Daiyu, who has always been a good daughter and a good sister, came up with a bold idea - she also wanted to be like the girls in the world that her brother "wanted", and try to see if she could do the same things as the boys.
For example, to take the entrance examination to the Imperial College.
Xiao Daiyu did not deliberately hide this from Jia Min, and Jia Min's attitude towards this was also very interesting. It
was probably neither support nor opposition.
However, of course, this was just the attitude on the surface. In fact, if she wanted to stop this kind of thing, she could stop it in a matter of minutes.
Therefore, not having any opposition meant supporting it in disguise.
This time happened to be when Mo Yu accompanied the driver on a tour and Lin Ruhai was busy inspecting the work of the historical guards everywhere - that is to say, in the entire Lin family, except for Xiao Daiyu and Jia Min, there were no other masters.
Doesn't that mean they can do whatever they want?
So Xiao Daiyu went.
Then she got angry...
In the meantime, Mo Yu was sick, and Lin Ruhai went to pick him up. Of course, all of this was kept secret by Lin Ruhai - even if Mo Yu really couldn't make it this time, he couldn't tell Jia Min and Xiao Daiyu about it in advance.
Not only would it not help, it would even add to the trouble.
Lin Ruhai ran to the frontier alone under pressure. Fortunately, Mo Yu's "illness" healed on its own, otherwise, it would really be a big event that made him sad and headache.
So under various coincidences, Xiao Daiyu's bold "disguise as a man" action was so successful.
It is said that the two old men, the old head of the Imperial College and Li Shouzhong, were not feeling well after seeing Xiao Daiyu.
The old headmaster was fine, he was just shocked for a moment, then he stroked his goatee and chatted with little Daiyu about the "Four Books" with a smile.
Li Shouzhong felt a little uncomfortable.
As the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, he was originally the one who was most opposed to women studying, especially the idea of setting up an Imperial College for women.
This was one of the reasons why Mo Yu was forced to give in and set up the National Women's University.
In fact, Li Shouzhong not only believed that men and women were different and should not study together, but the deeper reason was that he looked down on women and thought that women did not understand and were not worthy of studying.
Of course, this does not mean that women do not know how to read, but mainly that what he called "reading" was reading the Four Books and Five Classics and other serious books.
In short, the old man Li, who was deeply poisoned by feudal Confucianism, discriminated against women and did not regard women as human beings.
Just look at how he treats his own daughter Li Wan. What "a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent" is so pedantic and stubborn.
He has always relied on his age and seniority to be stubborn and unyielding. Even the "little fairy" of the Lin family, who is admired and praised by everyone, took the initiative to avoid his edge and set up a school for girls. Doesn't that mean that he has won the final victory?
Because of this, old man Li has been arrogant and proud for a long time.
Now, Xiao Daiyu's trick of "disguising as a man" directly slapped his face.
Isn't it not okay for women to read the Four Books and Five Classics?
Here is a woman who is not only familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, but also can write beautiful articles.
She was even a little girl who had just turned ten years old...
This is...
Li Shouzhong was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and his face turned red with shame. However, it was difficult to change his mind in public. In the end, he could only pretend to be sick and hide in the house. He did not dare to announce to all the students whether he would admit this candidate who ranked first in every subject - "Lin Dai".
His resignation made the old headmaster and others very helpless. Just when everyone didn't know what to do, Master Kang rushed back with a large army.
Master Kang always attached great importance to the affairs of the Imperial College. As soon as he returned to Beijing, he summoned relevant people to report to him about the examination situation. Li Shouzhong had to come out to take over and report on the matters of this admission examination.
He was originally afraid that Master Kang would blame him - after all, the Lin family was Master Kang's confidant. The legitimate daughter of the Lin family who "dressed as a man" to take the Imperial College examination was also
a princess personally appointed by the Wansui Lord. Not to mention that her father Lin Ruhai was an important official in the court, and her brother Lin Moyu was a popular figure around the Wansui Lord. With
this added identity, he felt uncomfortable as he couldn't say or not to "complain".
Fortunately, Master Kang was in a good mood and didn't care about it. After asking about the situation, he approved Xiao Daiyu's request to study in the Imperial College.
There is no problem with the exam, talent, character, and even family background, so why bother? Just go in and study.
But she still has to wear men's clothes - this is purely to protect Xiao Daiyu.
Women of this era cannot be like Mo Yu and his friends in that era. They still have to pay attention to their own reputation.
Mo Yu was quite dissatisfied with this, but Xiao Daiyu didn't have any opinion on it.
She even changed her pseudonym from "Lin Dai" to "Lin Da".
The meaning is "to help the world if you are successful".
Wow, this little girl is really ambitious. Mo Yu said that he was very relieved. Why did he always feel like an old father?
The incident in the Imperial College came to an end. After lying at home for two months, Mo Yu felt that he was much better both physically and mentally. But at this time, another wave of uninvited guests came to the door.
