Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 186 The First Day of School

Thinking about entering the academy, except for the ten-day holiday, you have to go out early and return late. After Du Jinning came out of the teahouse, he went directly to Cui Mingshi and asked him to meet his friend who was the shopkeeper. Yao Shuqi.She chatted happily with Yao Shuqi, and immediately signed the contract, Du Jinning handed over the bookstore to Yao Shuqi, and went home by herself.

The next day was the beginning of school at the academy. Mrs. Chen made breakfast for Du Jinning early in the morning. Watching her pack up her things, she told her, "If someone bullies you in the academy, you should go to the head of the mountain."

"Who will bully me?" Du Jinning smiled, "I have the support of the head of the mountain, and Guan Jiaze and Qi Muyuan are protecting me. Who dares to bully me?"

"Du Jinning, Brother Ning." There was a cry from outside the courtyard, the voice sounded like Zhang Hongwen.

"It's Brother Zhang. He is in my class and asked me to go to school together." Du Jinning hugged the cloth bag in his hand and said to Chen Shi: "I'm leaving." Then he ran out.

Running outside the door, he saw Zhang Hongwen standing there.His face was flushed and he was slightly out of breath. He obviously ran over after getting off the mule cart in the academy.

"Why are you here?" Du Jinning asked in surprise.

"I thought you went to school on the first day and didn't recognize the dormitory, so I came here and asked you to go with me." Zhang Hongwen waved his hand, "Let's go, if you are late, you will be late."

Du Jinning thought that today was the first day of school, so he got up early to prepare; Zhang Hongwen also came much earlier than usual.The two entered the academy, and when they walked to the dormitory of Class B, there were only three or four people inside.

Because of the last competition, Du Jinning is still familiar with the people in Class A; she has never been to the dormitory of Class B, and she doesn't know anyone in it except Zhang Hongwen.

She looked around the teaching dormitory, and asked Zhang Hongwen, "Is this seat fixed?"

She has a good memory and clearly remembers that Zhang Hongwen once told her that Class A has 17 students, Class B has 28 students, Class C has 35 students, and Class D has 56 students.These numbers are not static, and will be promoted based on the examination results at the end of each month, plus the assessment of the gentlemen.

The promotion time is basically spring or autumn.Because there are Chun Wei and Qiu Wei, the time of Tongsheng Exam is also in February.At this time, the students of Class A are going to take part in the scientific examination. If they pass the examination of Tongsheng or Xiucai, some of them will not stay in the academy to study, but will go to the county school or prefectural school to continue their studies. In this way, Class A will be empty. Come down, just let the students with good grades in Class B take the top.At this time, it is appropriate to conduct the promotion test, and it also has the meaning of motivating students to make progress.Class D recruits new students, and Class C and Class B are also promoted at this time.

Before Du Jinning transmigrated, the time of Qiu Wei had passed; now the new year has just passed, no matter the children's entrance examination has not yet started, so whether it is Class A or Class B, unless someone drops out, the number of students will remain the same.

And students who drop out of school must report to the head of the mountain.She has been staying in Guan Le and there, and she didn't hear him say that someone dropped out of school.

In other words, the number of Class B is still 28 people.

But the table in front of me was 28 neatly, and there was no more one because of her arrival.

"It's fixed." Zhang Hongwen didn't understand Du Jinning's question at first, and was about to find a desk for her to sit on. After scanning the dormitory, he found that there was no extra desk in the dormitory.

"This is my seat. You sit down first. I'll go to Zhai Fu and get a desk." He pointed to the middle seat in the fourth row, and ran out without saying a word.

Du Jinning saw people coming in one after another, and they all looked at her with strange eyes. She couldn't stand there, so she walked to Zhang Hongwen's place and sat down.

"You... Did you go to the wrong dormitory?" A chubby boy aged fourteen or five came over, sat on the seat next to him, looked at Du Jinning and asked, "You are sitting in Zhang Hongwen's seat. "

The person sitting in front also turned his head and asked Du Jinning: "Yes, yes, I know everyone in Class C, but I have never met you. You are not promoted from Class C, are you?"

Du Jinning shook her head: "It's not from Class C." It's hard for her to say anything else.You can't report yourself to these people, saying that she is the direct disciple of the head of the mountain, and she was taken care of into this class B, right?
"Then you..." Everyone sized up Du Jinning a few times, not sure where she came from.

As the reputation of Boyue Academy became more and more famous, Guan Le and Ai Xiyu set the threshold for entry higher and higher.Ordinary students have to pass a series of exams before entering.Regardless of whether you have studied in private schools for several years or in other colleges, you have to take a round of exams when you enter, and the grades determine which class you take.

But there are exceptions, for example, the descendants of a few officials and eunuchs who subsidize the academy, they don't need to take the first-level exams, but enter the class to study after being verbally assessed by the gentlemen, such as Qi Muyuan, he was assessed by Guan Lehe back then, Just entered Class A.

That's why everyone looked at Du Jinning with such eyes when they heard Du Jinning said that he was not promoted from Class C.

"Brother, what's your surname?" The fat boy's tone was not as casual as before, and his attitude was much more respectful.

"Miangui's surname is Du."

Everyone frowned and thought about it, but after thinking about it for a long time, they couldn't remember which official family in the county was surnamed Du.

The county is only so big, and those few officials and big families are familiar to everyone; even the upstarts who have been newly admitted to Jinshi or fellow Jinshi, these students are very clear, after all, there are only one or two every year or every few years. .

But among these people, none of them was named Du.

At this time, Zhang Hongwen came in with a man in his thirties who wore short brown clothes. As soon as he entered the door, he pointed to Du Jinning and said to the man: "Jiang Zhaifu, this is Du Jinning."

The man cupped his hands towards Du Jinning and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Du Xiaolang, I haven't received a notice to add tables and chairs to Class B. Xiaolang, why don't you ask the gentlemen to see if it's them?" I forgot to explain. As long as there is an explanation, I will immediately move tables and chairs for Xiao Langjun."

Most of the people in the teaching dormitory have arrived now.Hearing this, everyone looked at Du Jinning with delicate eyes.If Du Jinning was an official, the gentleman in charge of the academy would not be so contemptuous, he didn't even prepare tables and chairs for Du Jinning.

Du Jinning raised his eyebrows lightly, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask."

She stood up and planned to go to Guan Lehe.

Before the Chinese New Year, Guan Lehe specifically confessed to her that when the school starts on the [-]th, she can go directly to Class B. He has already explained to the following gentleman.Because today is the first day of school, Du Jinning knew that Guan Lehe was busy, so he didn't go to him to say hello, but went directly to the class.

But I don't want this to happen.
