"Get up. Sit here." Mrs. Cui walked to the main seat where guests were waiting and sat down, and asked Xu Xi, "How did you go back and discuss my proposal with the elders in your family the day before yesterday?"

"Because there was something going on at home, I took the opportunity to tell them last night. The elders in the family all supported me in taking the imperial examination," Xu Xi said.

When Mrs. Cui heard this, a smile appeared on her serious face and she said happily: "That's good, that's good."

"But I still stick to my original idea. I want to study with my classmates in other subjects that interest me. As for the imperial examination, the masters have assigned me homework, and I will definitely complete it well and try to take the test next spring."

Seeing Master Cui suppressing the smile on his face again, and opening his mouth as if he wanted to refute, Xu Xi quickly said: "Master, please let me try for a month. If I can't reach Master's level in the Four Books and Five Classics in this month,

In order to meet their expectations and requirements, I will stop other homework and concentrate on my career."

Mrs. Cui looked at the insistent look in Xu Xi's eyes and had no choice but to nod.

She has stayed in the women's academy for many years. Whether it is a wealthy family or an ordinary family, women's education requires chastity and obedience. This is the first time she has seen someone like Xu Xi who has her own thoughts and opinions.

"Then let's take it as a one-month period. There are five other people taking part in the imperial examination with you, but they will stop other classes and focus on the imperial examination. You are the one with the best score among the four. I won't ask you either.

The requirements are too harsh, as long as you can get the top two among the four, you can continue to take other classes."

"It's a deal." Xu Xi said happily.

Mrs. Cui stood up, took a stack of books placed on the desk, and placed them in front of Xu Xi: "These books are provided by the academy for free. If you have any other difficulties with expenses, you can also ask for them."

"Thank you, Master." Xu Xi stood up and bowed, then shook his head, "There is no difficulty."

"Then from today on, the six of you will have classes alone. The class location is nearby, I will take you there." Mrs. Cui stood up.

Xu Xi quickly picked up the stack of books and followed Mrs. Cui's footsteps.

After Mrs. Cui walked out the door, turned left and walked dozens of steps along the corridor, they went out and entered a small courtyard.

It is said to be a small courtyard, but it is much larger than the Mingming residence where Xu Xi lived in Xupinghou Mansion. At a glance, there are three rooms as big as modern classrooms in one row. There are three rows of nine classrooms in the east, west and south.

.

Xu Xi would bring some snacks to the ladies guarding the gate from time to time, and she also liked to chat with them. However, after entering the women's academy for a few days, she had already learned about the general situation of the academy.

The teaching buildings for the four classes in this academy are all built around the courtyard where Mrs. Cui and the others are located. The three teacher courtyards are in the shape of a pin, and the middle one is a separate place for Princess Shangde to rest, which is called South

The other two courtyards, one is for ladies such as Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Chen who take care of the general affairs of the academy and teach the Four Books and Five Classics. It is called the east courtyard; the other is for ladies such as Mrs. Xiao who teach music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

The place used for resting is called the West Courtyard.

As for Kang Shilin and other men, they rested in another courtyard outside the courtyard gate, which belonged to the outer courtyard. Because there were many bamboos planted nearby, the courtyard was called Qingzhu Yuan.

"This cross-courtyard is specially built for students who take the imperial examination. We call it the North Courtyard. Not only the six of you are taking classes here, but there are also a dozen students from Classes A, B, and C. But after entering here

, you will no longer attend classes according to the original schedule, but arrange the classes according to the speed of mastering the Four Books and Five Classics. We have an exam every month, and the four classes use the same set of test questions. The one with the best score will be selected.

It’s Class A, Class B, Class B and Class D will be postponed.”

Xu Xi calmed down the system that was about to pop up in his mind, and asked Master Cui: "How many students can enter Class A?"

"Classes are not divided by ranking, only by level. We will have masters with rich experience in imperial examinations to judge. If they feel that all of you have a good grasp of the Four Books and Five Classics, and all meet the standards to pass the exam, Class B, B, and D

It can be canceled and everyone will be admitted to Class A."

"Host, come on, with your IQ, as long as you work hard, Class A is just around the corner, and the opportunity to get high scores is right in front of you, come on, come on, come on!" The system was as if it were on drugs, and its mood was very high.

Xu Xi did not stop it because she was also looking forward to it.

She has always been among the best in studies, and her spirit has always been high. Now that she has come to ancient times and is preparing to take the imperial examination, she will not allow herself to fail to become a scholar in a few years. It would be too humiliating for a time traveler, and she would lose her reputation as a top scholar.

Well, let’s set a small goal first. It’s already late July, and there are still four days before the end of the month. It’s probably too late. Then try to get into Class A next month. Class A should be a sprint class for the college entrance examination. How many students are there?

After months of intense study, she will be admitted as a scholar by the end of next year. This is her short-term goal.

Mrs. Cui, who was still there to introduce the situation to Xu Xi, didn't know what she was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely want to beat her to death.

In ancient times, many male students studied at the age of seven or eight, and if they were admitted as scholars at the age of seventeen or eight, they could be regarded as child prodigies with a bright future. Even after deducting the study of "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Surnames", "

In the two or three years since I laid the foundation for "The Thousand Character Essay", I have been immersed in the Four Books and Five Classics for at least ten years. You little girl, trying to catch up with others in just a few months is simply arrogant.

side.

"Those ordinary classes have specially arranged the Four Books and Five Classics in the morning, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the afternoon. Here, the Master teaches in the morning, and you recite, review and calligraphy in the afternoon. So if you have classes here in the morning and classes there in the afternoon, there is no conflict.

.Now you don’t have to go over there, I just need to say hello to the master who is teaching over there." Mrs. Cui said.

"I have a sister over there, and she will be worried about me if I don't go. I'll go over and say hello to her in a while and then come back."

"no problem."

After Mrs. Cui finished explaining, she led her mother-in-law back. Xu Xi stayed here in the classroom of Dingban.

In addition to the tables and chairs used by the masters, there were only ten sets of tables and chairs for students in the teaching building. Xu Xi found a table and chair to sit on, took out his pen and ink, and prepared to practice calligraphy and brush up his scores. At this time, other classes next door had already

Students are arriving one after another.

Key classes are different, everyone studies very hard.

Xu Xi thought so, and didn't care about the outside world. She polished the ink and started practicing calligraphy.

But after only writing five words, she suddenly heard the system broadcast: "Congratulations to the host, the wisdom value is 100."
Chapter completed!
