Chi Xingyue sat in Zheguiyuan for a while, promised Doctor Cheng a hundred-year-old ginseng, and then left slowly.
He walked straight back and asked Baozhu to go to Haitang Garden to tell her about Ling Lanlan.
The Zhu sisters said it didn’t matter, there would definitely be professors who would focus on the key points.
Chi Xingyue listened to Baozhu's reply and felt that she was indeed a smart person. She knew everything that happened in the house.
He asked people to go out and rest, locked the door, and slipped into the space.
Write down what happened today and send it to Ling Jiheng's small space.
Then stroll around and pick fruits to eat.
At dawn the next day, Ling Jiran, Ling Weiwei, Ling Lanlan, Ruyan, Xueer and Shuanger had breakfast and went to Begonia Garden.
He paid his respects to the Zhu sisters and was then tested on his lessons.
The ones with the best skills among them are naturally the two young ladies of the Ling family.
Lanlan is the second best. She only knows simple poems and can recognize some common words.
As for Rulan, Xueer and Shuanger, they kept silent when asked.
His face turned red and white, and then white and red. He dug his toes into the ground, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
The class difference is vividly reflected at this moment.
While Ruyan was embarrassed, she became more determined to become the second young master's concubine.
It would be best if she could be promoted to concubine, so that she could enjoy wealth and glory in the future.
As for Mr. Xu, she had long forgotten about him.
The two sisters of the Zhu family looked at each other and had an idea in their minds.
I first asked a few people for their opinions, and it was similar to what Chi Xingyue said, the young ladies preferred music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Ruyan, Shuang'er and Xue'er felt that they were not cut out for academics, so they chose to major in singing and dancing.
The three of them had already decided to serve the man, so wouldn’t singing and dancing be just the right thing and the icing on the cake?
Of course, the Zhu sisters didn't show it so obviously and posted the class schedule for a few people.
Every morning, there is a compulsory literature class.
Those with a basic knowledge learned the Four Books and Five Classics from their elder sister Zhu Ruoyun, while those without a basic knowledge learned the Three Character Classic from their younger sister Zhu Ruoyan.
It lasts for one hour. After that, you can review your lessons on your own or do other things.
In the afternoon, Ling Jiran, Ling Weiwei, and Ling Lanlan followed Zhu Ruoyun to learn calligraphy, chess, painting, and guzheng.
Ruyan and the others followed Zhu Ruoyan to learn singing, dancing and body movements.
If the two young ladies of the Ling family are interested, they can come and learn a little during their breaks, but they cannot major in it.
Lunch was served in each courtyard.
Chi Xingyue invited the Zhu sisters to have dinner with them, but they were mindful of their status and were unwilling to leave Haitangyuan.
Chi Xingyue did not force her and asked Chunzhi to deliver food to Haitangyuan on time.
The days passed one by one, and finally at the end of March, the college entrance examination came.
Changhe Academy gave everyone three days off in advance so that they could go back and prepare.
It was a rare occasion for Ling Jiheng to stay at home for a few more days, so the old lady fed him well and made him fat.
Ling Jiheng's life was filled with both happiness and pain. In addition to receiving great care from his family, he could also be intimate with his young wife every night.
Ruyan, who has practiced dancing for a while, has become more charming.
She hid near Qingfeng Courtyard all day and night, and ran into Ling Jiheng by chance. She also sang at the top of her lungs in the dead of night.
Ling Jiheng didn't care. Anyway, he and Chi Xingyue were fooling around in the space and were not affected at all.
But Jinbao and Erzhu refused to do it.
My master has finally made it to the entrance examination, and this little scoundrel cannot ruin it.
Without saying anything, he knocked the man down and threw him back to Fanghuayuan.
Ruyan woke up in her room twice in succession and understood what was going on.
Instead of reflecting on how inappropriate her actions were, she blamed Chi Xingyue for not creating opportunities for her.
Thinking of this, he ran to find Lao Ding and asked him to pass a message to Mr. Xu, saying that the young master of the Ling family would go to take the college entrance examination the day after tomorrow.
He didn't even think about whether doing so would affect Ling Jiheng's future.
She only knew that she had been bullied and wanted revenge.
This will block Chi Xingyue’s path to success.
Chi Xingyue listened to Ling Jiu's report and snorted coldly: "She really thinks highly of herself!"
After saying that, he let the person go and didn't take it seriously.
Instead, he concentrated on preparing things for Ling Jiheng and Ling Jiyi for the exam.
This academy examination will be held in turn by the provincial education officials in various prefectures and counties within the province.
In Youzhou, there is only one examination site, which is the provincial capital.
The process of registering for the exam and filling out a resume is similar to that of the county and prefectural exams.
But this time, a student from the imperial academy is needed to act as a guarantor.
Fortunately, Changhe Academy has a great reputation and the matter was settled directly.
Students don’t need to worry, they just need to concentrate on preparing for the exam and not make any mistakes.
On the day of the exam, the Ling family set out together.
On the one hand, it is to send Ling Jiheng, Ling Jiyi and Huang Minbo to take the exam, and on the other hand, it is just to join in the fun.
The old lady had never seen such a lively scene. The whole street was full of carriages and horses.
Although there were many people, they lined up in an orderly manner.
The students came down from a long distance and walked.
The academician personally called out the names outside. When the students heard their names, they walked over, had their examination papers checked, and were searched.
After confirming that everything was fine, I was taken to the designated location.
Until all candidates are in place, the cannon will be raised and the door will be sealed.
The schoolmaster sat in the hall and wrote the test questions himself, which mainly tested eight-legged essays and examination poems.
The scope of the examination was within the Four Books and Five Classics. The clerk would copy the questions in large characters and stick them on a wooden board for the students to copy onto the examination paper and then answer.
The scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was writing furiously, and the academician would pass by from time to time to check on their answers and see if they were cheating.
This went on until three o'clock in the afternoon, when the bell rang and the papers were collected.
Then it was sealed and copied, and great scholars from other states were invited to evaluate the results.
The first 20% who pass are called the preliminary examination.
Because all the teachers of Changhe Academy were invited to mark the papers, Ling Jiheng did not return to the academy after the exam, but went straight home.
Although the day is tiring, it is not life-threatening.
He could even chat and laugh with Ling Jiyi and Huang Minbo.
The car swayed back to Ling Mansion.
As soon as I got off the bus, I met the beautiful butterfly Ruyan.
Ling Jiheng didn't dodge this time and prepared to tease her.
"I heard that you've been learning singing and dancing from Miss Zhu recently. Have you made any progress after such a long time?"
Ruyan was delighted and said quickly, "Master, you praised me for my talent in singing and dancing.
Second Young Master, why don't you go to Qingfeng Courtyard to rest first? I'll change my clothes and come to perform for you."
Ling Jiheng nodded and let the person go.
He turned around and invited Ling Jiyi, Huang Minbo, the old lady, Geng Suhua, and Liang Zhijun to join him.
Bring your reputation as a gentleman to the extreme.
This caused Huang Minbo to peek frequently, always feeling that Ling Jiheng was up to something bad.
Shu Muyun, on the other hand, was quite understanding and even complained to Ling Weicheng.
"If Ruyan can get rid of our son's problem, I'll wash my hair while standing upside down!"
Ling Weicheng shuddered, unable to imagine how beautiful the scene was.
Thinking of his son's illness, he couldn't help but sigh.
