Chapter 29 The Academy Zhang Bang
At the other end of Xiaorong Village, as soon as Nanny Ruan left, Ms. Xie complained to Xu Xi: "Why did you say those words? Girls, can't they be gentler? If they have to go back to the Marquis Mansion,
The elders won't like you being like this. Then your life in the Marquis Mansion will be difficult."
Xu Xi smiled and said: "If I don't explain myself clearly now, I will feel even worse when I go back to the Hou Mansion and go through all kinds of troubles. And my temper is like this. If the people in the Hou Mansion can't stand it, don't take me back as soon as possible. Anyway, I am
I won't live by looking at their faces. If they really want to make me angry, I will live in the academy and not go back, or I will just come back."
She stepped forward, took Mr. Xie's arm, and said coquettishly: "Auntie, you won't want me anymore, will you?"
She has the memory of the original owner, and is sincerely close to Xu Yongyi and the Xie family, with no emotional barriers at all.
When she acted coquettishly, Ms. Xie couldn't help but laugh. She tapped Xu Xi's forehead with her finger and said angrily: "You, you, I really can't do anything about you."
"I agree with my sister's approach." Xu Xue raised her hand, "I think I should be like my sister, be tougher and live my life without looking at other people's faces."
Mrs. Xie actually agrees with them. She has such a character herself. Moreover, women were in a difficult situation in ancient times. If they were too soft-tempered, they would just wait to be bullied. If the two sisters behave like this, she will be able to rest assured when they get married in the future.
When they got up early the next morning, Xu Xi, Xu Xue and Xu Yongyi set off to the county to read the news. When they arrived at the entrance of the Women's College, although there were many people there, they were obviously less than half of yesterday. Obviously, only those who came to see the results were yesterday.
The dozens of people who took the exam.
Seeing that the door of the academy was closed tightly, and the time was not up yet, the three of them had to wait. Fortunately, after a while, the door of the academy opened, and out came Mrs. Cui whom they had seen yesterday. The maid who followed behind her had a hand in her hand.
Holding a piece of red paper, in addition to that, there were two big, round-waisted women following him, presumably to protect Mrs. Cui's safety.
Everyone was very excited when they saw a group of four people. However, these people were all selected yesterday. They were not reckless in their words and deeds. Even their family members had a certain education. Therefore, although everyone was excited, they did not rush there.
By squeezing up, some space was created so that the four of them could post the list on the wall.
Mrs. Cui looked around, obviously very satisfied with the situation, and then ordered the maid: "Read the names on the list first, and then put them up."
The maid was ordered to unfold the red list and read the names on it.
As early as when they came out, the crowd outside, which was not very noisy at first, became even quieter. So even though the maid's voice was not loud when she read her name, everyone could still hear her clearly.
"Xu Xi, Xu Xue, Zhong Chunying, Liu Luer..."
Xu Xue suddenly heard her name, and it was the second one. She was stunned for a moment before realizing it, and immediately exclaimed: "Sister, we..." But seeing Xu Xi's warning eyes,
She quickly covered her mouth and swallowed the rest of her words.
Fortunately, the scene was quiet. No matter how excited she was just now, she didn't dare to shout loudly. With people constantly running this way and others exclaiming, her voice was not abrupt.
Xu Yongyi was also very excited. He looked at Xu Xi with his mouth grinning and murmured to himself: "I hit, I hit..." It looked like Xu Xi and Xu Xue won the top prize.
Although Xu Xi got a system prompt yesterday, she still didn't know whether Xu Xue had been admitted, so she was still worried. When she heard their names, her heart dropped to the ground and a smile appeared on her face, but she still
Don't forget to listen carefully to the name that the maid says.
She has a good memory and is determined to remember. She memorized 80% to 90% of the faces and names of the candidates who came in alone yesterday.
The names that the maid read were obviously arranged in the order in which they came in yesterday, so Xu Xi and Xu Xue were first and second. She compared them one by one with the names in her mind, counted the number of people, and finally found that the woman
The number of people admitted to the academy was forty-six, not the fifty as originally stated. Twenty-one people were dismissed because they were probably not educated enough or showed some bad qualities when answering questions.
.
One-third of the people present were not admitted, so naturally some were happy and some were worried. When the maid finished reading the list and posted the red list on the wall, the noise from the surrounding crowd gradually became louder. Those who did not hear their names
People squeezed forward as hard as they could to see if they had heard anything.
Xu Xi pulled Xu Xue and said to Xu Yongyi: "Uncle, let's go to the teahouse first and then come back."
Xu Yongyi hesitated: "Would you like to check the names on the list again?"
Xu Xixiao: "Did you two hear my and Xiaoxue's names just now?"
Xu Yongyi and Xu Xue both nodded.
"It's possible for one person to hear it wrong, but it's impossible for all three of us to hear it wrong. Since all three of us have heard it, we can't be wrong. There are so many people now. Those who failed will have to look at the rankings, and those who won will have to go to the academy to inquire.
It's very chaotic. Let's not join in the fun. Let's go to the teahouse to sit for a while before coming back." Xu Xi said.
In the past few days, Xu Xi's opinions were very convincing. Even Xu Yongyi felt from the bottom of his heart that this niece was worthy of seeing the world with his scholar brother in the city, and she was better than him in words and deeds. Xu Xue could be admitted to a women's school.
, it can be said that it was all thanks to Xu Xi; Xu Xi’s performance in dealing with the Hou Mansion was also very extraordinary.
He and Xu Xue had no objections, so they immediately squeezed out of the crowd with Xu Xi and found a nearby teahouse to sit and drink tea and eat snacks. After a quarter of an hour, they realized that there was no more noise there, so they returned to
Girls' College.
By this time, those people had indeed dispersed, and there were still a few people in twos and threes looking at the list. These people probably came later.
The door of the academy was open, and two women were guarding the door.
Xu Xi stepped forward, handed over the wooden sign he got on the day of the exam, reported his name Xu Xue, and asked: "May I ask the two mothers-in-law, when will we come to report? What do I need to bring? What does the academy have?
Regulation?"
"It turns out they are two Miss Xu." The mother-in-law was very polite to them, took away their signs, rummaged through a box, found two other signs, and handed them to them.
Xu Xi took it and saw that the sign was exactly the same as the one she handed back. The only difference was that her name was engraved on it. It seemed that this was not only a voucher for entering and exiting the academy, but could also be used as a school sign. Unless the old woman guarding the gate didn't.
She knows the person, otherwise even if someone holds this sign, they won't be able to pretend to be her and enter the academy.
"You two girls must keep this brand safe. If you lose it, you will be punished," the mother-in-law said.
