[Chapter 384 Chapter 384 Examination]
What attracted Shen Yuyao was not the old man, but the sign standing in front of the old man.
The sign read: Flower and bird painting advanced training class, 20 places available.
Looking at the sign, Shen Yuyao suddenly couldn't walk.
Although Shen Yuyao also likes Chinese painting and textile design, she has been learning painting since she was young, and what she is best at is actually meticulous painting.
Among them, the best and most vivid ones she painted were flowers and birds.
Shen Yuyao didn't know what this flower and bird research class meant, but that didn't stop her from being very interested.
So she walked towards the old man.
"Hello, teacher. Does this flower and bird research class also recruit graduate students?"
The old man suddenly opened his eyes.
He was probably too idle and too bored, so he actually fell asleep just now.
He opened his eyes suddenly and was in a daze for a moment.
He looked at Shen Yuyao carefully, and then asked: "Miss, are you going to apply for graduate school? Do you have your previous works with you? Bring them here for me to see."
Shen Yuyao did have some works prepared when she came, but they were all her previous award-winning designs and the clothing designs she made for a clothing factory.
As for the flower and bird paintings, I haven’t prepared anything yet.
Fortunately, the teacher that A-niang found for Nanxi some time ago has arrived, and the little girl has started to learn calligraphy and painting.
Shen Yuyao was so interested that she also painted two pictures and put them in the space.
It’s a good time to take it out now.
After seeing Shen Yuyao's paintings, the old man was very interested. He then introduced himself.
It turns out that the teacher's surname is Wei. He is a professor in the Chinese Painting Department and also a famous painter.
In order to solve the problem of shortage of flower and bird painting teachers in colleges and universities, this year, the China Academy of Fine Arts was commissioned by the Ministry of Light Industry to set up this "Flower and Bird Painting Research Class".
After graduation, the recruited students will be assigned to various universities as teachers, so the requirements for students are relatively high.
Teacher Wei has been sitting here for two days, but so far he has not met any candidate that he is particularly satisfied with.
But his pickiness and the reputation of this research class being difficult to pass had already spread.
As a result, he waited here early in the morning, but for most of the day he didn't even see a single candidate who was interested in taking the exam.
Teacher Wei is old and was getting anxious sitting there, so he just closed his eyes and took a rest for a while.
After listening to Teacher Wei's introduction and seeing that he was very satisfied with Shen Yuyao's work, Qiao An suppressed her excitement and gently poked Shen Yuyao in the back.
And Siqin also showed an excited expression.
Where could there be better news than this!
If you can get into this class, you can directly become a teacher in a university after graduation!
Although the country is in urgent need of high-level talents nowadays, it is difficult to find college students, let alone graduate students.
But even so, no one can guarantee that they will become a university teacher right after graduation, right?
Such an opportunity cannot be missed!
Shen Yuyao naturally thought so too.
She hasn't even entered university yet, and now hearing that she has the opportunity to become a university teacher, it feels like a dream.
Even more unattainable than a dream!
She immediately expressed to Professor Wei her willingness to apply for the research class and asked about the materials she needed to prepare for tomorrow's exam.
After leaving the school, the few people did not get in the car immediately, but bought the examination materials needed for tomorrow at the calligraphy and painting club near the school. Then Qiao An sent the two back to the guesthouse.
The exam was scheduled for the next morning, so Joan didn't stay long that day, leaving the two of them with plenty of time to rest.
Shen Yuyao used the evening time to paint a picture in her room, mainly to practice her hand skills.
The exam on the second day went very smoothly.
Because the teacher did not assign any questions at all, he just asked the candidates to draw on the spot according to their personal strengths, and they could leave after completing them.
Shen Yuyao spent three hours painting a picture called "Spring Boudoir Playing with Birds", which depicts a girl of about 11 or 12 years old in ancient costume playing bird fighting under a flowered window.
The background of the painting was based on her own boudoir in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the bird was the yellow-faced black-tailed phoenix that A-niang loved the most.
Because Shen Yuyao is too familiar with every blade of grass, every window and every scene in the painting, and has deep feelings for them.
So this painting is not only delicate and vivid, but also very smart.
Professor Wei came over to check on her several times, and before she even left the exam room, Shen Yuyao knew she had definitely passed!
The preliminary round went very smoothly for both Shen Yuyao and Si Qin, and the semi-final was not difficult for both of them.
Siqin is an active-duty soldier who is taking the postgraduate entrance examination on behalf of others, so he has little choice in the majors he can choose, and they will definitely be those that he can use when he returns to the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research in the future.
It can be said that in a situation like his, as long as his grades are similar, he will basically be admitted.
And Shen Yuyao has never fallen behind in her cultural studies over the years.
She has a great advantage over other candidates who are taking the exam.
After all, those ten years were truly torturous.
No matter how talented or capable you are, you will still be tested by life.
The candidates who come to take the exam are generally older, and have basically thrown away their textbooks for many years.
Therefore, the test papers for cultural subjects were not difficult, and Shen Yuyao finished them smoothly without encountering any problems.
There are only two examinations for postgraduate students: the preliminary examination and the re-examination. In fact, these two examinations are the examinations for professional courses and cultural courses.
After the exam, candidates can go home and wait for news.
Whether you can be admitted depends on whether you receive the admission letter.
Because her family would be moving to the capital soon, Shen Yuyao simply left her address at Qiao An's house.
The military family compound is relatively safe and the chance of losing the admission letter is low.
And after receiving it, Qiao An will notify Shen Yuyao herself immediately.
After the exam, both of them felt relaxed and had time to travel around the capital.
Qiao An drove them to visit all the scenic spots in Beijing.
They visited the palace, paid homage to the Heroes Monument, and even got up early to watch the flag-raising ceremony at the square.
Feng Changyuan even specially booked a private room at the time-honored restaurant and treated the two of them to authentic roast duck.
Not only that, he bought two more and asked Siqin to take them back for Doctor Gu, Gu Lin and Niannian to eat.
Siqin took leave to come here to take the exam, and he doesn't have enough time.
Being able to play for just a few days is already the limit.
After eating Peking duck, shopping in the department store, and buying gifts for the elderly and children at home, he had to go back to Hualin alone.
Shen Yuyao's visit to Beijing this time, in addition to taking the exam, also had a more important mission, which was that she had to start buying a house for her family to live in after moving in.
The unit that Cheng Liyan is going to is far from the urban area of Beijing. If Shen Yuyao and her two children live in the unit like they do now, it will be very troublesome for them to go to school.
So before coming here, the couple had discussed buying a house in the city, preferably one that was convenient for them and their two children to go to school.
As for Cheng Liyan, he can only run back and forth.
