Chi Xingyue smiled and praised him a few words, then took his hand and walked inside: "Have you eaten yet? Are you very tired?"
I am really tired, and I am really happy.
Ling Jiheng followed Chi Xingyue to Rongsiyuan and saw the table was full of delicious food, but no one was eating.
When the old lady saw that people had returned, she asked Aunt Taohua to take the food out and heat it up, and settled Ling Jiheng, Ling Jiyi and Huang Minbo to her side before asking about the situation of the academy.
"Changhe Academy is located on the outskirts of the city, covering an area of ten acres. It has a total of twenty-three teachers and three hundred and seventy-one students.
Open enrollment is held in early July every year, and some talented students are selected for admission.
If it weren't for the letters of recommendation from Lord Yu and Lord Huang, we wouldn't even have the chance to try."
"Yes, when my second brother knocked on the door of the academy, the little boy was stunned.
He only reported it to the dean after reading our recommendation letters."
"Changhe Academy is indeed Changhe Academy. There are five or six rounds of entrance examinations alone.
At the beginning, more than a dozen teachers came over to ask us questions, including our name, age, place of origin, and ideals, and to examine our demeanor and identity background.
It is said that those who are particularly ugly, stutter, have complicated family backgrounds unsuitable for official positions, and are over 45 years old will all be eliminated.
"Then came the preliminary test, where we were asked to recite the Four Books and Five Classics, and some selected words and phrases for us to explain.
After passing the test, there will be a re-examination, and the teacher will ask some questions about astronomy, geography, historical allusions, etc.
It is designed to test students’ reading volume and their vision and knowledge.”
"The last part is the policy essay. I feel that the questions the teacher asked are even trickier than the serious imperial examination questions.
The time limit was two hours, and I almost didn’t finish writing.
Second brother is really amazing, his writing is so powerful and flowing, even Dean Wen praised him for his talent."
Ling Jiyi looked at Ling Jiheng with starry eyes, but found that he looked calm, neither arrogant nor impatient.
I couldn't help but admire my cousin even more.
“After the four rounds of exams, the teacher also selected a topic for us to write poems and couplets, and divided us into classes based on our performance.
Brother Ji Heng was assigned to Class B, and Ji Yi and I barely made it into Class D."
The old lady comforted Huang Minbo: "Starting late doesn't mean anything. There are many diligent little turtles who leave the rabbits behind."
Huang Minbo didn't understand for a moment what the class division had to do with the rabbit and the turtle, but he could hear the old lady's good intentions.
"As long as we work hard and keep improving, Class C won't necessarily be worse than Class B. And Class B won't necessarily be unable to enter Class A."
"What the old lady said is true. Minbo must go all out and study hard."
A group of people were talking and laughing, when Aunt Taohua came in.
Bring the servants and put the hot food on the table.
The old lady invited everyone to eat. Huang Minbo smelled the fragrant braised pork and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
The Ling family saw it but pretended not to see it. They all focused on cooking, feeling that Aunt Taohua's cooking skills had improved again.
Outside the house, the cleaning girl stood in the corridor, almost crying with greed.
Butler Ling coughed lightly and said, "After the masters have rested, you can eat. Don't worry, there is meat."
The Ling family is not short of money and treats their servants very generously.
Although they did not have the same dishes and soups as their masters, they were guaranteed to have meat every three to five days, which was much better than the treatment in other mansions.
In the evening, Ling Jiheng said to Chi Xingyue in the room, "The teacher gave us three days to prepare. We will go to the academy to study the day after tomorrow."
"Yeah!" Chi Xingyue knew, she was mentally prepared.
"When the time comes, you will have to stay at the academy. You can only come back during your rest period."
Chi Xingyue asked, "Is Changhe Academy far from home? How often do you take a day off?"
Ling Jiheng replied: "It's OK. It takes more than two hours to get there by ox cart."
So, Ling Jiheng set off before dawn this morning?
She doesn't even know!
"The academy takes a break every ten days, which is called a ten-day break."
Chi Xingyue said "hmm" and said, "Then take advantage of these few days to rest at home. I'll prepare your luggage for you."
As he said this, he wanted to rummage through the drawers.
Ling Jiheng held her back: "Don't worry, the two pillars of Baozhu will take care of it!"
Chi Xingyue smiled and sat on the bed, discussing with him: "Tell me, you can go to the academy to see a wider world, and I'm stuck in the backyard, it's so boring!"
Ling Jiheng knew she had a plan as soon as he heard it, and asked, "What do you think?"
Chi Xingyue got straight to the point: "Most of the yard at the back is empty. I want to grow some crops there. I also want to raise chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, and sheep.
We don't need too much, just enough to keep our family fed and well. We can't let anyone hold us back over food, no matter what the situation.
Ling Jiheng didn't have the pretentiousness of aristocratic families. Of course, a courtyard should be used to its full potential.
The idea of planting flowers and trees just for the sake of face does not exist for him.
that is......
"If we use the entire yard, I'm afraid this number of servants won't be enough. I'll go with you to buy some servants tomorrow!"
Chi Xingyue's eyes were twinkling. "Okay, I'll buy two shops. The profits from one shop will go to the public school, and the profits from the other shop will go into my own small private treasury."
Ling Jiheng liked to see her money-obsessed look, so he asked, "What kind of store are you planning to open?"
"Let's make it a dessert shop. We need to make the environment quiet and elegant. Once it becomes famous, we can attract the wives of officials.
Send a few smart maids and servants to serve over there, so that if there is any news, we can know it first."
Of course, her spatial database is more useful. But you have to go in and query it!
We can't be on guard all day long, so it's better to set up an intelligence station and wait for any news to come out so that we can solve the problem in a targeted manner.
Ling Jiheng had no objection: "Madam, it's up to you to decide, but don't tire yourself out. If there's anything, just let Ling Yi and the others handle it!"
Chi Xingyue smiled and said, "I know, I know. I will take good care of myself, and you too.
By the way, Mingyue, Minghao, and Shurui also need to study. What do you think? Should we let them wait for Changhe Academy to enroll students, or should we just pick any academy?"
Ling Jiheng pondered for a moment: "I heard from the teacher that Chang'an Academy and Qining Academy are good, and they like to recruit young students with potential.
How about I take them to see it tomorrow?"
"Okay, then let's postpone the purchase of the person for another day.
If you can’t take care of it, don’t worry about it. My parents and I can handle it.”
Ling Jiheng smiled and hugged Chi Xingyue: "In that case, let's go into the space?"
Chi Xingyue glared at him, pulled his cheek and joked, "Why, do you want to use up your quota for the next ten days?
Do your classmates know that you are so attached to the land of comfort?
Ling Jiheng was thick-skinned and not ashamed of it, but proud of it: "Who is as lucky as me? I can marry any girl I want, and they are all fairies."
As he said that, he wanted to kiss her.
Chi Xingyue hurriedly blew out the oil lamp and led people into the space.
After some nonsense, seeing that it was still early, he sent people to read.
As a result, I was fascinated by it after seeing it.
I don’t know when I fell asleep, but I woke up early the next day and got dressed and washed up.
