Chapter 248 Zhizhi Endorsement
After practicing for seven or eight days, the students finally made some progress in their tactical practice, but Coach Lin's voice was almost hoarse.
After each practice, the elementary school students were starving and looked forward to mealtime.
That day, just when everyone wanted to rush to the dining hall, Zhou Jijiu appeared.
Zhou Jijiu brought an exciting news:
"Dear students, the Emperor goes to the Royal Hunting Grounds for the Spring Hunt every March, accompanied by all the officials. For each Spring Hunt, our Martial Arts Academy selects several outstanding students to join the hunt. Although you are young, you are also among the candidates.
As long as you perform well in the assessment, you will have a chance."
As soon as the words fell, many primary school students were excited.
They were young, and even though they had high status, they had never gone on spring hunts with their elders in the past for safety reasons.
Now that I hear this, I’m eager to try it.
Some students from humble backgrounds were even more excited, because it was a great honor to be able to see the emperor during the spring hunt.
Su Zhizhi and Yuan Caiwei's eyes also lit up.
Su Zhizhi had no interest in the Dog Emperor, but was looking forward to hearing about hunting. She had not had the chance to go hunting since she left Lingnan.
Ordinary people cannot go to the royal hunting grounds. I heard it is very fun there and there are many things to hunt.
Yuan Caiwei felt that being able to go spring hunting was a very impressive thing. She knew her father went every year, but she had never been.
Su Zhizhi asked, "Zhou Jijiu, how will the assessment be conducted? Will it be like when we first enrolled?"
When we first entered school, we had to move stones, do horse stance and fight with others.
Su Zhizhi is very confident about these.
Zhou Jijiu shook his head. "No, no, you have already been studying at the Martial Arts Academy for some time. We are going to test you on your martial arts and writing skills."
Someone called out, "Zhou Jijiu, why do we have to take an essay test at the Wuxue Academy? We're not taking the top scholar exam."
Zhou Jijiu: "The people selected by our martial arts school must be excellent in all aspects. Of course, they must be both civil and military. Of course, our essay exams are different from those in the academy. They test your understanding of military classics."
Su Zhizhi's heart was in suspense: "Do I still need to memorize the book?"
Zhou Jijiu: "Not only do you have to memorize it, you also have to write it down from memory. Dr. Xiong will tell you the scope of the exam later."
Su Zhizhi: …!!!
The heart that had been hanging in the air finally continued to hang in the air.
Yuan Caiwei took Su Zhizhi's hand and encouraged her:
"Zhizhi, you are so talented, you will definitely be selected."
After saying that, she encouraged herself:
"I can do it too!"
Su Zhizhi: "Yes! Once Dr. Xiong tells us the exam content, we'll memorize it."
In the afternoon, when Dr. Xiong came to class, the elementary school students all rushed to ask about the scope of the exam.
Dr. Xiong stroked his beard and was pleased to see the students' eager eyes for knowledge.
"Ahem, the scope of this assessment is actually not very broad."
Dr. Xiong has a loving face.
"That's what this entire book is about."
Students: ...?
Yuan Caiwei held her head in her hands and said in pain:
"If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have been lazy and would have memorized everything."
Su Zhizhi also felt overwhelmed: "There's so much to memorize. Dr. Xiong gave a lot of annotations in class."
There are many annotations in Su Zhizhi's book.
She took notes and understood what Dr. Xiong taught.
But I never touched the book after class and never reviewed it once. Now I have to review and memorize the article and annotations from the beginning.
"Jijiu Zhou said that the spring hunt will be at the end of March this year, so we still have half a month." Su Zhizhi clenched her fists.
"Ahem, oh yes, the assessment will be held in five days." Dr. Xiong added.
There was an instant of wailing in the school.
Su Zhizhi was shocked at first, and then two flames flashed in her eyes:
"Five days is five days!"
That night, Su Zhizhi and Yuan Caiwei began to work hard on their endorsements.
On the day off, Hao Ren and Bai Xun came to take Su Zhizhi home.
Su Zhizhi held the book in her hands, called out "Dad" and "Uncle Dao", and then climbed into the carriage to read.
Hao Ren and Bai Xun were dumbfounded, thinking that Zhizhi was possessed by A Che who was thousands of miles away.
Hao Ren: "Zhizhi, what's wrong?"
Su Zhizhi's little face emerged from behind the book and she said seriously, "Dad, I need to study hard. This is very important to me."
She explained that she wanted to pass the test and strive to go to the Royal Spring Hunt.
After saying this, his eyes moved back to the book, concentrating fully.
Hao Ren was shocked and delighted, his eyes filled with the emotion of an old father:
"Okay, okay, just concentrate on watching, Dad won't say anything."
After Su Zhizhi returned to Heishan Mansion and had dinner, she told everyone that she was going back to her room to memorize her lessons.
In the past, she would chat with everyone and play in the yard for a long time before going back to rest.
The good people of Heishan Prefecture were also surprised.
Qiu Jinyu: "Zhizhi, I even made you some after-dinner snacks."
Hua Erniang: "Can I tell you about the play we heard at the theater yesterday?"
Old Xu: "Zhizhi, look at these two candy figures I bought for you..."
Su Zhizhi resisted the temptation with heartache and determination:
"I have something important to do recently. I need to prepare for the exam at the martial arts school. I won't be able to play with you for the next two days."
Su Zhizhi walked back to the yard alone in the evening breeze, her steps heavy and her back tragic...
When Hao Ren and Wu Yingniang were about to go to bed at night, they wanted to remind their daughter to rest early and not to overwork herself.
But I saw that the light in Su Zhizhi's room was off.
The couple also fell asleep.
At midnight, Hao Ren and Wu Yingniang were suddenly awakened by a shout.
It was Zhizhi’s cry.
Hao Ren threw off the quilt and sat up, running out without even having time to put on his shoes.
Wu Yingniang stepped out the door first.
The light in Su Zhizhi's room came on at some point.
The window reflected a rope hanging from the beam, with a human figure attached to the lower end of the rope.
Like a hanging body.
When Hao Ren and his wife saw this, they were terrified!
"Zhizhi——!" Wu Yingniang rushed into the room.
