Tonghua Alley.
Li Qian dressed her twin children in new clothes, wiped their faces clean, and gave each of them a cloth bag.
The Li family was not poor. Although Li Bin was only a student, he often did accounting for others, wrote books for others, and even took on one or two students. He lived a pretty good life.
Li Niangzi is also a multi-talented person. She can not only weave cloth, but also sew all kinds of things. These two cute little cloth bags are what she made overnight for her two children.
"Once you go to the Mountain God's School, you must study hard and never disrespect the Mountain Goddess!"
"Do you still remember the story of the bandits that your mother told you the night before last? The Mountain Goddess ordered people to eliminate many, many bandits. She is the savior of our desolate county. You should thank the Mountain Goddess properly every day!"
The two little ones nodded in unison; they both understood!
"Wife, where am I?" Li Bin waited for a long time, but his cloth bag never arrived.
“You’re going to the Mountain God’s Academy to be a teacher, why are you using such a cute cloth bag? But don’t worry, I will definitely pray for you at home!” Although Li Qian didn’t prepare a cloth bag for her husband, she did make him a set of clothes.
After Li Tongsheng put it on, he felt very happy.
He took his two children out, and soon set off with the other scholars and students.
“Li Tongsheng, why did you bring your son and daughter? What is there for this girl to learn? She would be better off staying at home to help with chores and lighten your mother’s burden,” a familiar-looking student said instinctively.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong, because all the constables who had led the way were looking over.
The other scholars and students quickly moved away from him, fearing that they would be remembered by the government constables.
"Tch, my daughter is incredibly smart. Just you wait and see, she might be more capable than all of your sons!" Li Bin retorted indignantly. What was wrong with his daughter?
His daughter is incredibly smart; she has been able to learn to read very quickly since she was little, and she even has a photographic memory!
Many times when he copied books for others and made mistakes, it was his daughter who pointed them out. Who else has a five or six-year-old child who is so smart?
Seeing that everyone around him was keeping their distance, the young scholar felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help but sneer, "My son is already learning the Three Character Classic, and this little guy probably can't even recognize all the characters, right?"
“Bringing her here is just slowing down our school’s progress!” He held his head high with arrogance.
Li Bin was furious. He turned to his daughter and said gently, "Qiong Shi, recite the Three Character Classic and the Thousand Character Classic backwards to them!"
A childish voice rang out from the roadside as Li Qiongshi recited both books word for word.
Before long, she started reciting it backwards again.
After she finished reciting the last sentence backwards, the group finally arrived in front of the Mountain God's School.
The Mountain God Academy is built in an antique style, using the finest blue bricks and red tiles, making it look exceptionally grand and irresistible, making people want to explore it further.
The invited teachers and the surrounding constables, however, were not focused on the construction of the Mountain God Academy. Instead, they were all staring in astonishment at the little girl not far away.
No, this little girl, who is about five or six years old, really recited the Three Character Classic and the Thousand Character Classic from memory, and she could even recite them backwards.
Memorizing these two books is indeed not difficult, but memorizing them backwards is something that not everyone can do! Even all the scholars and students present here could not do this, right?
Because the student's face was very unpleasant the whole way, and he even glared at his son.
"You good-for-nothing! You can't even recite it backwards!"
The chubby boy: "???"
He's only just started learning, how can he compare to others?
Isn't this putting him in a difficult position?
"Alright, welcome to the Mountain God Academy. Please come in with me now," said Zhang Yao, who had been standing outside the academy.
"May I ask who you are?" The young scholar looked over with a frown.
Zhang Yao revealed a mysterious smile: "I am the principal of the Mountain God Academy, your direct superior. You can just call me Principal Zhang from now on."
"You, a woman, are our superior?" the student asked in shock.
"You don't even have any academic qualifications, so why are you sitting above all of us? This position of principal should at least be held by a scholar who has passed the provincial examination or the county examination, right?"
Zhang Yao found it somewhat amusing: "Who told you that our positions are determined by academic achievements?"
"The Mountain God Academy cultivates practical talents and the most devout believers of the Mountain Goddess. Of course, only those with the best grades and the greatest trust in the Mountain Goddess can sit in this position!"
The young scholar's face darkened: "This is utter nonsense!"
"If it's not for passing the imperial examinations, what's the point of this school you've established?"
“Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. Since that’s the case, then please leave.” Zhang Yao clapped her hands, and a team of constables rushed forward, grabbed the person, and left.
"If anyone else has any questions, you can tell me now. If there are no more questions, you can go in and take the exam now. I want to test your abilities!"
A group of scholars and students: "..."
So it turns out they didn't just come here to teach; they had to take an exam!
“How come everyone here has achieved academic success, either a student of the lowest level or a scholar of the highest level? Are you afraid that the questions I ask will stump you?” Zhang Yao retorted.
"Of course I'm not afraid!" Scholar Zhang narrowed his eyes.
"Alright, come in then." Zhang Yao glanced at him.
Two hours later, a group of people went in upright and were carried out horizontally.
