The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Fu Bozheng, as the supervisor of Jiujiang Academy, specially came from the study building to inspect the primary school assessment, but he didn't expect to hear the children crying in the front yard as soon as he came in from the corridor of the middle courtyard.

"What's the matter?"

Fu Bozheng was surprised.

He has served as supervisor of Jiujiang Academy for thirteen years, and the admissions assessment has never failed. Usually, the recruitment of young children, although they cry, they stop very quickly, which is very different from this time.

Thinking of this, Fu Bozheng frowned, waved his hand and called the book boy: "Go ask Zhixue to lead someone to take care of it. How can you make such a noise?"

The exam will be coming up soon, so it's impossible for the child to take the exam with tears on his face, sobbing non-stop, and still out of breath after answering a question!
The book boy took the order to spread the word.

Fu Bozheng walked quickly to the high wall of the front yard and looked out through the assorted windows on the wall.

The location he chose had an excellent viewing angle, and all the actions and gestures of the toddlers waiting to be tested in the front yard could be seen.

At this moment, the courtyard was in a state of panic, regardless of the parents, officials and Jue, most of them blushed and flustered, coaxed, frightened, or yelled at the crying children. They were in a hurry, although their attitudes were serious, the effect was not good.

On the contrary, the few adults in the crowd with stable emotions and well-behaved and quiet children are a little different.

Since the beginning of Yan Dynasty, many government schools in Kyoto have been adhering to the principle of nobility and equality in treating reference students. The admissions of academies on the bright side only look at the qualifications of the students, regardless of their backgrounds.

Therefore, when enrolling students in Kyoto government schools, any young children who want to enter the school, no matter whether they are from the relatives of the noble country or the princes of the cabinet, must have their parents wear ordinary clothes and bring their children.

In Yan Taizong's words, teaching and educating people in academies is a place of nobility, so don't take away fame, wealth, power and imperial prestige, so as not to mislead students.

For this reason, Yan Taizong also stipulated that no matter how many official positions or ranks, anyone who uses power to interfere with the rules of the academy can be criticized by the censor.

Therefore, since then, the practice of eliminating flattery in Kyoto government schools has been passed down to this day.

Because of this, he was fortunate enough to see elders, uncles, clan relatives, censors, and chiefs of the internal guards leading their children in line.

But today, he has no intention of identifying the identity of the parents in the courtyard.

Gein these children cried hoarsely, wishing he could use overwhelming momentum to force the adults to compromise; the noise disturbed his ears and his head buzzed.

"Well, you tell the master in charge of the examination that if the aptitude is not bad, those well-behaved children can be directly entered into the special class."

Fu Bozheng was restless, and gave another order to the book boy who just came back.

have to!The little book boy sighed inwardly, saluted obediently, and walked quickly to the classroom behind.

At this moment, the child who was crying so hard that the ground trembled finally gradually calmed down.

Fu Bozheng heaved a sigh of relief, and turned his gaze around Sheng Xiuzhuan, a frequent visitor to the academy, feeling a little headache.

Sheng Xiuzhuan's eldest daughter entered the academy three years ago. At that time, the entrance examination for girls had not yet been established, and girls had to be recruited for students.

As the supervisor of the academy, he would never have imagined that such a weak-looking girl would be more aggressive and brave than Langjun. The academy is as frequent as a master, and those who don't know think he is teaching part-time in the academy!

This time, another soft, soft and tender little girl came to his family... Fu Bozheng, who didn't know what Sheng Yuan was doing before, looked at this chubby girl who loved to laugh, and saw that although she was not big, she was not like most children. Tong was crying and making noise like that, and seeing his good temper, he couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved.

Of course, although Fu Bozheng was fooled by Sheng Yuan's cuteness, the direct students and assistant teachers guarding the gate of the courtyard knew what a good thing this chubby little girl did just now.

"Tsk tsk, she really is a real sister!" Thinking that the frequency of this Sheng Xiuzhuan going to and from the academy will increase significantly in the future, everyone looked over sympathetically.

If Sheng Xiuzhuan had a clear mind, he should have taken the initiative to apply for a teaching position at the college, so that when the two girls invited their parents, he would not have to rush back and forth.

……

When Sheng Xiangxun saw the gentleman in charge of order knocking on the gong, and then had someone completely open the courtyard door, he knew that it was time for the little girl to go in alone for reference.

He heaved a sigh of relief, put Sheng Yuan down, bent over to support her shoulders, and carefully told her: "Baby, don't make people angry when you go in later! Otherwise, what will you do if you get beaten?"

Listening to her father's nagging, Sheng Yuan could only nod her head obediently, with all kinds of rhetoric about "be careful not to get beaten".

But she was unconvinced in her heart. How could she provoke public anger when she was so well-behaved, sensible, magnanimous, and pleasant?
Sheng Xiangxun looked at the little guy who didn't know it, and felt worried for a while. He only hoped that the little girl would find An Yu and Lu Sheng quickly. When they met as good friends, they probably wouldn't care about provoking other classmates.

At this moment, Sheng Yuan couldn't understand the worries in her father's heart, so she carelessly counted how many children who were waiting for the exam hadn't cried.

"The little girl from the Sheng family?" Fu Bozheng, who had just walked over after receiving the examination paper, carefully sized up this pleasing-looking little girl.

He smiled and waved, and called the other eight students who also abided by the rules of the academy and did not cry or fuss, "Let me ask you, which one has never been able to read?"

"Shua", two children, a boy and a girl raised their hands.

Fu Bozheng nodded, and told the book boy, "The first class is to be determined."

The bookboy took notes on a piece of paper, and then the teacher in charge of arranging the students led him to the classroom.

Fu Bozheng looked at the remaining six children and asked kindly: "Let's play a game. If you can express your feelings about going to school in less than fifty words, I will arrange for you to enter the special class directly. How about it?"

Two of the six children backed away quietly.

Fu Bozheng didn't force it, and said to the book boy: "The first class is to be determined."

He looked expectantly at the remaining four children.

Fu Bozheng wanted to see if any of these calm and well-behaved children were suitable for the special class.

"From now on, read more books and teach the world wisely." The six-year-old Xiao Langjun took the lead to stand up and said these words in a clear and clear child's voice.

Hearing this, Fu Bozheng nodded and said: "Well, although what I said was ambition, it was a sensible statement, which is acceptable."

As he said this, the book boy recorded in the booklet: "The special class is to be determined."

The little girl next to him who was also six years old saw it clearly, and couldn't help asking curiously what Fu Bozheng meant by waiting for a decision.

Fu Bozheng stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Elementary school is divided into three big classes: special, first, and level. Each of the three big classes contains several small classes, but the number of small classes has not been determined. How many classes do you belong to? You will be assessed later. Only then did I know."

Hearing this, the little girl nodded her head, opened her mouth and said, "If you can learn articles and read characters, you can teach the world to be more spacious."

Fu Bozheng smiled: "Your words are heroic, as if you are looking forward to your future study life, not bad! Not bad! Yes."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the little girl who was standing on tiptoes behind the five-year-old gentleman, trying to poke her head out of the back of the house, and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, Miss Sheng, I'll let you wait a little longer." Say a few words."
