Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 422 Going to a government school?
After dinner, Du Jinning took the number of rooms and halls calculated by Yao Shuqi, and followed Liang Xiankuan to his furniture workshop to choose furniture.

In fact, the furniture these days is basically made by carpenters at home.But Liang Xiankuan ordered his furniture workshop to display some finished products, and he still has some finished furniture drawings drawn by himself for customers to choose.

Du Jinning walked around his workshop and flipped through the albums of finished products. She touched her chin for a long while without making a sound.

"What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied?" Liang Xiankuan asked.

Du Jinning was honest: "Your furniture is durable, but it is the same when it comes and goes. There is nothing to choose. When I go back and think about it, I will draw some pictures for you. You can ask the carpenter to follow the pictures I drew. Do."

Liang Xiankuan's eyes lit up immediately: "That's really great."

The sofas made by Du Jinning in the past were eye-catching; the gardens she designed now make Liang Xiankuan even more unable to take his eyes off.He has already decided to ask Du Jinning to design a garden for him.Now that Du Jinning wants to design furniture, Liang Xiankuan is naturally looking forward to it.

Guan Jiaze was listening, and couldn't help reaching out and tapping Du Jinning's head: "I said, how did your brain grow? Others have built gardens and furniture for several lifetimes, but they haven't come up with anything. You Fortunately, it’s endless.”

"No. My family has been in this business for several lifetimes. Now look at you, then look at me, alas, why is there such a big gap between people?" Liang Xiankuan nodded, feeling only better than Guan Jiaze More Sheng.

"Ha, that can't be helped. Who told me to be smart." Du Jinning raised his head proudly, looking very stinky.

"Why do I have the urge to beat someone up?" Seeing her like that, Guan Jiaze felt his hands itch.

Xu Chengyuan couldn't help laughing.

He didn't have much contact with them before, but now he realizes that this group of people is so much fun together.

When a group of people came back from the furniture workshop, they saw the housekeepers of the Guan family, the housekeepers of the Liang family, the housekeepers of the Qi family, and Yao Shuqi, the housekeeper of the Du family, sitting in the side hall for a meeting. When they heard them come back, the four of them ran out to salute everyone.

Everyone was speechless; "How did you get together?"

Zhong Bo, the steward of the Qi family, replied as a representative: "We have inquired about the situation of the academy, and now I want to report to all the young masters."

"Go to the living room and talk." Qi Mu walked away and entered the hall first.

Uncle Zhong came with Qi Bokun last time, and he didn't leave after Qi Bokun left, but stayed here directly.In addition to him, several servants stayed behind.At this time, as soon as everyone sat down, the servants came in quickly to serve tea and snacks, and then retreated quietly, showing a good family tradition.

Only then did Uncle Zhong speak: "The school has one professor, three mentors, and twelve gentlemen. Among the gentlemen, there are five famous Confucians and scholars, some of whom are good at literature and poetry, and they are all masters; The seven are also leaders in various fields such as piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and they all have a certain reputation in the prefecture. They usually hold classes in the prefectural school, and arrange the number of teaching sessions and the time of other courses according to the registered students and other courses. Time. At the same time, the academy will have a lecture every half a month, or it will be held by the professors and teachers of its own academy, or outside scholars will be invited to give lectures. Master Xuezheng will also give lectures every six months. And the academy will also Hold debates with students from other colleges every once in a while."

Gao Cheng of the Song Dynasty once said in his "The Chronicle of Things": "Song Dynasty Shenzong Yuanfengzhong established three houses of Taixue, cultivated the talents of the world with scriptures, and set up a professor in each of the big counties. All students."

Therefore, the professor Zhong Bo talked about was not the title of a modern university professor, but the name of an academic official.The so-called academic officials are officials who manage and educate students.The principals of government schools at all levels are called differently. The principals of government schools are called professors, state schools are called Xuezheng, and county schools are called Jiaoyu. The discipline set up under them also belongs to school officials.As for the husband, he is a talented person with good conduct and is not a public official.So there is also a lot of liquidity.

He took a breath and continued: "There are a total of 67 students in the prefectural school, all of whom are top ten in each college examination, or have a certain reputation in poetry and prose and excellent academic performance, and are recommended by gentlemen. There are also Tong students who have achieved certain achievements in certain aspects." Speaking of this, he added, "Every professor and gentleman in the prefectural school has one nomination quota every three years. Xuezheng has two nomination quotas."

Hearing the last sentence, everyone looked at Du Jinning.

Now everyone knows that Zhao Liang gave Du Jinning the only two nominations he had.

This makes everyone more proud of Du Jinning than admiration.If Master Xuezheng is so fancy, it is estimated that he will not come across one in a few years.Now there is one in front of them, sitting next to them, who is their brother, which makes them feel honored.

Uncle Zhong also knew this.He bowed his hands to Du Jinning, and continued: "The students of the prefectural school take part in the provincial examination with a high rate, reaching more than half. The school has a strict atmosphere and strict restraint on the students. Once a student violates the school rules, he will not show mercy at all. directly expelled. The relationship between students is both competitive and friendly, and there are not many intrigues, quarrels and fights."

After saying this, he introduced the situation of Nanlu Academy again.

Nanlu Academy is considered one of the best among many private academies, but compared with government schools supported by the government, it is after all inferior.The students they accepted were all students who were screened out because they could not enter the government schools.For example, Xu Chengyuan, if Du Jinning didn't get Zhao Liang's recommendation letter, his only destination would be Nanlu Academy.Because of his high ranking in the college examination, Nanlu Academy will also accept him.

In addition to these outstanding students, Nanlu Academy more or less accepts some rich and powerful children or related households.Of course, you can't have too bad grades, and you can't have bad conduct.

In modern terms, Fu Xue is the No. [-] public key high school, and Nanlu Academy is the No. [-] private key high school. The difference is quite obvious.

"One more thing I want to explain is that Mr. Qi Yuandao is a relatively prestigious gentleman in the government school, and his grandson Qi Siyu ranked fourth in the college examination, so he must enter the government school to study." Zhongbo said .

Qi Siyu posted a message to Qi Muyuan and Du Jinning, but they rejected it.He also provoked Du Jinning many times in the examination room, and he had heard all these things from Yao Shuqi.So he has to be reminded of this matter.If Du Jinning minded the existence of their grandfather and grandson, he might choose Nanlu Academy.
