Chapter 202 Lost Memories
Meanwhile, Yuan Hongqu was already inquiring with Songhua about the enrollment method and start date of the girls' academy.
“Mr. Yuan, the girls’ school registration is on the 8th of the second month, the exam is on the 10th, the admission list is announced on the 16th, and students officially enroll on the 18th.”
Although her daughter wasn't taking the exam, she still knew all about these pine pollen.
"When registering, you need to bring your identity and household registration booklet. The exam content will be announced when you register. I heard there are six subjects in total, and three of them will be randomly selected, plus an exam on moral character and conduct, making a total of four exams. In addition to the teachers from the academy, the examiners will also include several highly respected ladies of the imperial court, striving for fairness, impartiality, and transparency..."
As Yuan Hongqu listened to Songhua's introduction of the girls' academy, she remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was churning with turbulent emotions.
She wondered what kind of woman the original owner of this body was, and she felt that her own way of doing things and many of her ideas were very similar to the original owner's.
Is that why I transmigrated into the body of the original owner?
Unfortunately, all of the original owner's letters, notes, and other written materials were burned in a mysterious fire when she was imprisoned.
Otherwise, she could use these to recreate the original owner's personality and hobbies.
Most of the original owner's works were written at the Women's Academy. Last time, when Yuan Hongqu sent someone out to buy books for the female official examination, that book was written by the original owner.
However, an exam preparation book can never reveal the author's thought process or interests.
However, the writing style of that book, as well as the punctuation and shorthand techniques it contains, all come from modern knowledge.
This puzzled Yuan Hongqu greatly. Could it be that the original owner of this body was also a time traveler?
Two transmigrators appeared in one body one after the other?
What an incredible opportunity!
God is so kind to her!
February 8th
Gengchen hour,
Suitable for: weddings, travel, moving, moving to a new house, taking office, praying for blessings, setting up a bed, burial, and seeking wealth.
It is taboo to break ground, travel by boat, or build bridges.
This was an auspicious time specially chosen by the Dowager Lady Jia of the Rongguo Mansion when she learned that Daiyu was going to register for the girls' academy.
Yuan Hongqu was speechless, since it wasn't even time to officially enroll yet.
They were just registering; there was an exam afterward, and only those who passed the exam could enroll.
However, thinking back to modern times, parents also use all sorts of methods to get their children into primary school.
Putting scallions in your schoolbag symbolizes intelligence.
Others include scallions, mirrors, water chestnuts, and pears, symbolizing intelligence and wit...
These are all the heavy love of parents!
Fortunately, Grandmother Jia knew that Yuan Hongqu never cared about these things, so she only had someone calculate an auspicious time to send it over, and didn't send anything else.
Yuan Hongqu felt that the pressure had lessened considerably.
The site of the girls' academy was originally the mansion of a wealthy family.
The academy was located in a slightly remote area, but it was not outside the city.
Because there are many students coming and going every day, and these students are all girls from wealthy or official families, they travel by sedan chair or horse-drawn carriage.
Therefore, the entrance to the academy must be spacious, otherwise the traffic jams will be so bad that you'll question your existence.
The entrance to the girls' academy is quite spacious.
When the Lin family's carriage arrived, a servant from the academy led it to a designated spot.
Then I took them to the registration place.
The person who greeted us at the registration desk was a woman who looked to be around thirty years old.
The woman had a friendly demeanor, was neither arrogant nor humble, and spoke in a way that was very convincing.
Yuan Hongqu showed the woman Daiyu's household registration, and the woman asked a few more questions, which Daiyu then answered.
It's simply a matter of age, where they live, whether they read regularly, and whether they received any early education.
Daiyu answered them one by one carefully.
The woman carefully wrote it all down and finally handed Daiyu a registration certificate, an exam notice, and an exam outline.
So far, they haven't given us a single penny!
"Miss Lin has a scholarly air about her, and it's clear that she loves reading and writing. It would be an honor for our academy if such a bright and intelligent girl could come to study here."
The woman's voice was very pleasant to hear; although it sounded like she was just being polite, it was genuinely lovely.
After registering, Yuan Hongqu had someone inquire about the academy's daily routine.
I learned that the academy provides three meals a day, and that the meals are served buffet-style.
Yuan Hongqu became even more certain that there must have been a time traveler among the founders of this academy.
So time travelers are worthless these days!
When she arrived at the Rongguo Mansion, she recognized a woman named Wang Xifeng, who was also a transmigrator who had become a nun later in life.
However, there were already only two of them in the capital city, and it seems there are still some in this academy.
Yuan Hongqu inexplicably wanted to escape from this place.
"Would Miss Lin like to tour the academy?" the woman asked with a smile.
"No need. Once I become a student at the academy, I will have countless opportunities to see the scenery inside." Daiyu noticed that Granny Yuan's complexion had suddenly turned very bad since she entered the academy. Granny Yuan's face had turned pale as she barely managed to complete the registration procedures for her.
Granny Yuan is strong and healthy, and she usually doesn't even sneeze. What's wrong with her today?
After they returned to the carriage, Yuan Hongqu's complexion improved somewhat.
"Granny, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me..." Daiyu hugged Yuan Hongqu's arm and shook it gently.
Yuan Hongqu had regained her composure by now and hurriedly comforted Daiyu.
"It's nothing. I guess I didn't eat enough for breakfast, so I was a little dizzy, but I've recovered now and I'm fine." Yuan Hongqu slowly turned her neck.
Seeing this, Daiyu was relieved.
Yuan Hongqu took a deep breath, and her heart finally calmed down a lot.
Just now, upon entering the girls' academy, I saw a layout map of the academy prominently displayed.
The original owner's memories flooded into her mind like a tidal wave.
Those awkward things, those styles that felt strangely familiar to her, finally had an explanation.
Original body? There's no original body!
It was still her in the original body!
The original body was a reincarnation, and the person who transmigrated was the modern Yuan Hongqu. However, the original body's father was just a minor official with limited access to information, so Yuan Hongqu did not realize at first that she was in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber.
It wasn't until her father passed away that she began to strive and went to study at the Women's Academy in Yangzhou. Later, she stayed at the Women's Academy to teach, and only then did she realize that she might be living in the world of "Dream of the Red Chamber".
After teaching for five years, the girls' academy faced a crisis and could not continue operating. Yuan Hongqu used the inheritance left to her by her parents to expand the scale of the girls' academy and became the vice principal of the girls' academy.
Later, the girls' school became more and more famous and got better and better.
As the saying goes, "A tall tree catches the wind," and the girls' academy was framed, leading to Yuan Hongqu's imprisonment.
After Yuan Hongqu was imprisoned, she was possessed by a sorceress, which Yuan Hongqu considered to be nothing more than hypnosis.
It turns out that after the sorceress takes a soul, the person whose soul has been taken has no memory and returns to an infant state with a blank mind.
However, Yuan Hongqu was reincarnated with memories of her previous life. She was already at full capacity as an infant, so even if her soul was taken, only her memories after arriving in ancient times would disappear.
Moreover, after her soul was taken, it seemed that the heavens, as compensation, activated a space for her...
