The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 16 Sheng Guogong's Thoughts
As soon as the lively identification activities ended, Duke Sheng laid the groundwork and prepared to start the topic; and Sheng Yuan's mind at this time was still echoing the basic understanding of the main characters in Sheng Guogong's mansion:

"The eldest uncle is handsome, the second uncle is white, the fourth uncle has a cold face and seems talented, the fifth uncle has a smile on his face, eight of the nine brothers are here, and the eight sisters are divided into two rows."

[Oh, congratulations to the host for being able to compose nursery rhymes! 】

The system jumped out suddenly, throwing out fireworks to show congratulations, and swung its two thin arms to write shorthand.

Sheng Yuan: "..."

The system doesn't want to record her words, does it?

[Recording the growth of the host is one of the responsibilities of this system, please don't care about these, and continue to strive for glory! 】The two systems put their arms back, and the notebook in their hands disappeared immediately.

Sheng Yuan took a deep breath, and said silently in her heart: "No embarrassment! No embarrassment! I'm not embarrassment!"

"...Two things, the first one is the government's response to His Majesty's call for girls to go to school."

Sheng Guogong's words diverted Sheng Yuan's attention from the system.

"There has been a women's school in the mansion for a long time, but there are some discrepancies between the curriculum and the imperial decree, and it is necessary to find faults and make up for it. I have chosen someone to go to a place where the academic style is flourishing to find a famous teacher to teach in the mansion. If you have a favorite teacher, you can also recommend it. .”

Others are still thinking about the rectification of the women's school in the mansion, but the third master Sheng Xiangxun is a little impatient. He just wanted to speak, but Sheng Guogong, who was caught by him who was about to speak, took the first step: "Of course, if you want to find a good teacher yourself, Each of you can make arrangements on your own, but you have to take the Fuzhong Examination every ten days."

Sheng Yuan understood, that is to say, her sister wants to go to the government school to study, that's no problem, but every ten days, besides taking the government school assessment, she also has to take the exam of the women's school in the government.

In other words, if others take the test once, her sister has to take the test twice?
Ouch, isn't that too pitiful?

Sheng Yuan tried her best to hold back her smile, and looked at her sister sympathetically.

However, Sheng An didn't think that this matter was related to him. He was turning his head and stroking people back and forth, but when he felt the gaze from his little sister, he immediately returned a very warm smile to Sheng Yuan.

"..." Sheng Yuan felt that her sister's smile was a little silly, and for some reason, her palms were itchy, and she really wanted to touch her sister's head.

"This old man is very slippery. It seems that he wants to judge the level of the girls in the family by the grades of his granddaughter who is studying abroad!" Sheng Xiangxun whispered to Zheng.

Sheng Yuan's eyes lit up: Huh? !Her father's angle of analysis seems to be a bit new!It turns out that I can still speculate like this!
"Your Majesty puts too much emphasis on women's education. Your Majesty ordered women all over the world to learn from them. Perhaps it is more important to the world's literary style. Is it possible that you really want Your Majesty to open up women's imperial examinations?" Mrs. Liang glanced at the nine grandchildren under her seat. Daughter, she paused for a moment at the eight-year-old fifth lady Sheng Qiang, her own granddaughter, and then spoke to Duke Sheng in a neutral manner.

"What Madam said is very true. Your Majesty values ​​style of writing." Sheng Guogong was speechless, but Mrs. Chang answered leisurely with a smile, "Who would dare to think of a woman going to the temple to be an official butcher? It's just that His Majesty is looking forward to it." Everyone has the sound of reading, and women's words are also a rule; if people in the world, both men and women, have literary talents, why should the great Chu worry about bad talents? This prosperous age can also be passed down from generation to generation."

"What Ah Chang said is good." Duke Sheng nodded approvingly at Chang, and he didn't look at Mrs. Liang, but taught his descendants earnestly, "I don't expect you to be able to dominate the court and hold great power, but read more books. Follow His Majesty's will, and the girl in the family will have a better marriage in the future."

"Tch." Sheng Xiangxun felt amused when he heard it, lowered his head and whispered to Mrs. Zheng, "The old man thinks that Sheng Guogong's mansion is the most noble among the nobles, but he still can't help but envy other people who can produce Cheng Engong. If you want me to say If you want to inherit and continue, it is best to stay away from the military power and imperial power."

Sheng Yuan sat in his arms, heard these words clearly, and nodded in approval.

Sheng Guogong clearly saw his small actions, thought that this kid had bowed his head and whispered, and immediately wanted to reprimand him, but looking at the children and grandchildren in the house, he forced himself to hold back his anger.

As the saying goes, it's better to give this kid a chance, lest he find a chance to tear things down.

"You can take your time with the study of Mrs. Ying, but you can't neglect the study of the son of the mansion." Sheng Guogong said so far, he couldn't help but smile and look at Chang's, with a strong joy in his face and eyes.

Mrs. Liang immediately noticed the unusualness, thought for a moment, and couldn't help but look at the young gentlemen sitting down. When Sheng Shu, the 16-year-old eldest son of the first house, saw the four-year-old ninth son of the second house, His gaze stayed on his six-year-old grandson Sheng Ming.

The fifth master Sheng Xiangjun, who noticed his mother's gaze, asked his father exaggeratedly: "My son saw the joy in his father's words. Could it be that he has found a great Confucian teacher for the boy in the house?"

"Great Confucianism as a teacher? You kid really dare to think about it!" Sheng Guogong smiled vainly, "Study, learn, and talk about it, what is more important is yourself. You are stupid and playful, and you are surrounded by a group of Confucianists." Read it by ear, you still can’t learn it!”

"Look how proud the old man is. He really thinks that his children and grandchildren can learn by themselves? As the old saying goes, good teachers and helpful friends! Without a good teacher, your ability is nothing but wasted." Sheng Xiangxun felt that his father was inflated and wanted to fly, and endured it. I can't help talking to Zheng's ear again.

When Sheng Yuan heard this, she didn't think about agreeing or not, but she heard her grandfather yell at her father in a thunderous voice: "Third brother, what are you talking about there? If you have the ability to speak out loud!"

Sheng Xiangxun was pointed out suddenly, and he was not restrained. He looked over cheerfully: "I heard that a Taoist priest entered the capital a while ago and was attracted by the official atmosphere of the mansion. He clapped his hands and sang in front of the gate drunkenly. , looks unusual? Think he said something nice that got you thinking?"

Sheng Yuan couldn't help thinking about it.

Doesn't her father mean that the old man is daydreaming!

Sheng Guogong didn't have the brain circuit of Sheng Yuan, but he also knew that the youngest boy had no good words to say. Considering that there was no need to affect his mood because of this unscrupulous third boy, he motioned for Mrs. Chang to take out the silk handkerchief in his hand and hand it to him.

Sheng Xiangxun took it over and looked at it, and couldn't help but read aloud: "At that time, I only had little knowledge, but unexpectedly, the pearls were all dusty, and once the wisdom soared, I assisted Wang Shiren to comment?... What does this mean?"

After Sheng Yuan heard his father finished reading slowly, he couldn't help but look at Duke Sheng, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Unexpectedly, the two unusual sights from before appeared again, Sheng Yuan had no time to think and randomly chose a direction to look over, and happened to meet the flustered eyes of a little girl with a double bun.

[Second daughter, six-year-old Sheng Han. 】The system typed a line in Sheng Yuan's mind.

Sheng Yuan was startled, and when she looked at Sheng Liuniang again, she found that the cousin's gaze had turned into curiosity, as if the two glances were just new to her, the cousin who showed up for the first time.

Could it be that she was wrong?
As soon as a question popped up in Sheng Yuan's mind, her thoughts were attracted by Sheng Guogong's reprimand. It turned out that her father made the old man anxious again.
