After squeezing through the crowd, I saw a piece of paper posted on the bulletin board, which said that the Imperial College examination would be held in the spring and the registration deadline would be before December.
The Imperial College was the highest institution of learning in the capital, and was divided into the Imperial College, the Imperial University, the Four Schools, and the three other schools: law, calligraphy, and mathematics.
Among them, those who could enter the Imperial Academy were all children of noble families, and they entered through connections. The most difficult one to pass was the Taixue, followed by the Simenxue.
Law, calligraphy and mathematics are considered specialized subjects and are relatively simple.
However, those who wanted to take the Imperial College examination had to go through a lot of selection. First, those whose native place was in the county had to take the county school examination, and those who passed the examination also had to take the prefectural school examination.
In addition to the students of the school, those who can take the provincial school examination are those recommended by the counties. Only after passing the provincial school examination will they have the opportunity to take the Imperial College examination.
Jiang Tuantuan asked, "Little Lili and Little An'an, do you want to take the exam? If you get into the Imperial College, even if it's just mathematics, you'll have a chance to become an official in the future."
Jiang Li said, "I want to give it a try."
Jiang An looked nonchalant, "I don't want to take the exam, I just want to paint."
Jiang Tuantuan nodded and told him about this when he returned home for dinner that night.
Jiang Dafeng said thoughtfully, "I won't be able to take the Imperial College exam next spring. I need to take the county exam first. The Fujiang County exam is scheduled for March next year, so I'll take the county exam first."
He said, "Then take the provincial college entrance examination in August. If you pass, you can take the Imperial College entrance examination the year after."
Jiang Dafeng no longer worked as a teacher in a private school outside, but devoted himself to tutoring the two of them at home.
Jiang An didn't want to participate at first, but Jiang Dafeng forced him to learn together.
Jiang An once again felt the horror of days dominated by study and exams.
Jiang Tuantuan took out the gold that Li Jingchen gave her and wrote a letter. In the letter, she mentioned the bracelet she had designed and asked Mai Feng and Madden to make it according to the requirements. She also went to the system and spent a few points to buy some broken gems.
Put it in a box and send it over together.
After Mai Feng and Madden received the box, they opened it and found that it contained a large piece of gold. If such a large piece of gold was stolen, it could ensure that a person would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. There were actually some gems next to the gold. You know, gems were very rare things in that era.
Good gems are worth a fortune, but these things were sent directly by the boss. It was so casual that the two of them were surprised for several days.
When I saw the letter at the bottom, I realized that this was really not easy to do. Even if I worked day and night, it would take at least a month to complete because the skills required were so high.
Ordinary bracelets are made into a circle and then carved on it, but Jiang Tuantuan required that countless silk threads and flower patterns be spliced together to form a circle.
They had never heard of this method of making bracelets. Although they knew it would be very tiring, they were also very excited and looking forward to it. In the days that followed, they spent every day in the store making bracelets. Except for eating and sleeping, they were making bracelets.
Sometimes when Mai Wu went to reconcile the accounts, he had to be asked by the two to help look after the store.
Li Jingchen said he wanted to find a wet nurse, and he really found one. She came to his house two days later.
This is a wet nurse who is nearly 40 years old. Her surname is Zhang. Because Yubao no longer needs breast milk, she needs an experienced person to take care of her. It just so happens that wet nurse Zhang has given birth to six children and is very experienced.
Li Jingchen was afraid that Yubao would run away when he was three or four years old and the wet nurse would not be able to keep an eye on him, so he found another servant. The servant was twelve years old and was a child from a poor family. He was sold by his parents to be a slave to another family at an early age. Li Jingchen happened to meet him and brought him back.
Li Jingchen named the servant Da'an.
On the way home, Li Jingchen said to the two, "Your mission is to take good care of the young master and make sure he doesn't get hurt. Don't do anything else. As long as his life isn't threatened, just follow his lead."
It was the first time for the two of them to see their master give such an order, but they nodded in agreement.
Li Jingchen knew Jiang Tuantuan's temper. She was the kind of person who didn't want others to interfere in her affairs. Seeing how she usually treated Yubao, which was completely free-range, he understood that she didn't want to restrict Yubao too much. Li Jingchen thought this was a good idea, so he did it.
Yubao is already over one year old, and walking and talking are no longer a problem for him. Although he is not particularly agile, his curiosity is growing.
During the day, Jiang Tuantuan slept until noon. After Yubao woke up, he followed Feng Xiaoli. Now that she had a nanny and Da'an, Feng Xiaoli relaxed and started to arrange the flowers that Li Jingchen had bought in the yard.
A thick blanket was placed in the room and all the windows were closed. Yubao was placed on the blanket with some toys on it. They were all bought for him by Jiang Tuantuan from the space mall.
What I bought were just some wooden blocks that could be assembled into various things. Although they were rare, they were not beyond the times.
When Yubao saw the two new strangers, he was not afraid at all. He sat on the blanket and started playing. He took out the blocks and stacked them up little by little. The pile was very high, and then he pushed it down. After that, he clapped his hands and laughed.
Or he would build a small house with squares and triangles, pointing at the house and saying "house, house" to Nanny and Da'an.
After spending a few days together, the nanny really liked Yubao. He was very well-behaved and didn't cry or make a fuss. When he was hungry, he would say he was hungry and go to bed at a certain time. He would eat whatever was given to him and was not picky at all.
Daan also likes Yubao very much, but he is also very envious of him, envious that he can grow up in such a good environment.
Although Yubao plays by himself during the day or Daan plays with him, Li Jingchen and Jiang Tuantuan will stay with him until bedtime at night.
Sometimes when Jiang Tuantuan had nothing to do, or got up early for the first time, she would take him out for a walk.
It can be said that I grew up completely surrounded by happiness!
But Jiang An and Jiang Li had a hard time because they were only one year apart in age, so their learning progress was the same.
Jiang Dafeng studied the exam questions in recent years and understood the situation in his mind, so he assigned a lot of homework to the two of them every day.
Jiang Li is in pain and happy at the same time, while Jiang An is in even greater pain.
The most important thing is that if you don’t finish it the next day, you will be slapped on the hand.
After a day of study, Jiang An was lying on the bed and didn't want to move, but Jiang Li was still copying books on the table.
Jiang An sighed: "You are really hardworking. You are still studying now."
Jiang Li said calmly, "I'm copying books to sell them for money. By the way, the more I copy, the more I memorize. Besides, I envy you so much that you can memorize an article after just two or three times."
Jiang An chuckled. It was not because he was smart, but because he had studied the Four Books and Five Classics and read through history before traveling through time. He had a certain impression and of course it was much easier for him to learn.
