Abandoned Wife and Marry Only: Daughter of Houmen

Chapter 115

As Hui An spoke, she gave Sun Xinci a look of doting, but Sun Xinci looked embarrassed, as if she really didn't expect this, and she was afraid of offending Hui An, and lowered her head hesitantly.

"So that day, Miss Shen was the one who protected Miss Wen San and rushed all the way from the Shangyin Tower to the Mingxin Hall?" Wu Xin asked again.

Hui'an didn't know why this Miss Wu family insisted on this question, but many people saw the scene that day, and guessing that Sun Xinci would have nothing to say, she nodded.

When she nodded, she always felt that the surrounding atmosphere had changed, and even the eyes of the ladies who surrounded her looked at her a little strangely, but before Hui An had time to study it carefully, she heard Wen Jingxin's voice behind her.

"It was indeed thanks to An Niang that day, and that day in Changyin Building, some of An Niang's maids also saved several wives and ladies. Yesterday, my old lady praised An Niang as the tiger girl of the general family, saying that Fengyang The old Hou Ye of the Hou Mansion is a talented general, and Shen Nuhou is also a hero among girls. Although the two Hou Ye have passed away for many years, the customs of the Hou Mansion are still alive, and another equally outstanding daughter came out of the Hou Mansion. They are all very courageous, after all, they are the family of meritorious marquises personally appointed by the emperor, and they are loyal and brave."

Hui'an turned her head and saw Wen Sicun and Wen Jingxin entered the teaching dormitory, and Wen Jingxin was nodding at herself with a smile. The words were purely for her own protection, so she couldn't help but smiled knowingly.

When the girls heard the words, they nodded in agreement. At this moment, a long bell rang in the courtyard, and Hui An hurriedly dragged Wen Jingxin back to her seat.

Today is a painting class, and the four treasures of the study are placed on the mahogany low table in front of each student. When Hui An sits down, seeing that Dr. Liu who teaches painting has not yet arrived, she picks up a slightly thinner wolf hair brush on the pen holder and stains it. Take a little ink and pour some water into the pen wash, and watch the ink slowly smudge.

After a while, I saw a thin middle-aged man in a straight robe walking towards the teaching dormitory. It was Dr. Liu Tongjiang Liu who taught painting.It's just that there are three men clearly behind him, one of them is Academician Jijiuliu of the Imperial College, and the other is Ouyang Zeng, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, who is wearing a gown embroidered with green pine and aoxue and a small white jade crown on his head. Ouyang Wen, the fourth son of the family.

This Ouyang Wen is only young this year, but he is already a well-known hero.He was born intelligent. He could memorize ancient poems at the age of three, compose poems by himself at the age of five, write policy theories at the age of eight, win the imperial examinations at the age of 13, and win a Jinshi at the age of 17. It is extremely rare.

He has no intention of official career, but he prefers to paint. He is very good at flowers and birds. The magpies in his works are vivid, like real objects, lifelike.Because magpies are auspicious things, ladies in Beijing like to hang a painting of magpies in spring in their houses to show auspiciousness, so Ouyang Wen's paintings are very popular, and now a painting can sell for 2000 taels of silver high price.It's a pity that literati are so noble, and they are ashamed to sell paintings, so Ouyang Wen's paintings are really rare on the market.

It's just that Ouyang Wen is speaking directly from the Taixue, how did you get to the Imperial College today?
Hui'an was wondering, Dr. Liu had already invited Academician Liu, Ouyang Wen and another elder who was wearing a navy blue gold silk elastic ink dark pattern gown into the dorm.All the students hurriedly got up to pay respects, Academician Liu came forward, smiled and motioned for everyone to sit down, pointed at the elder and introduced to the students.

"These two are academician Li from Taixue, and they are talking directly to Ouyang."

Hui'an only saw that the old man was about sixty years old, with a flushed face, a calm demeanor, and a five-strand white beard, which looked quite noble and elegant. He didn't think it was Li Zhengchun, an academician of Taixue, and couldn't help being puzzled for a while.The other students in the teaching dormitory were also surprised, only wondering that Taixue and Guozijian had always been at odds, why did the academician of Taixue and Zhidao come to the dormitory of Guozijian together today.

However, Academician Liu went on to say: "Since the Imperial College was divided into the East and the West, the West Academy has set up six arts subjects. All six arts recruit female students, and there are student assessments at the end of the year, so that students can reflect on their achievements in various arts that year. To sum up, it is also used by students to change subjects according to their grades in the coming year. Only in this way can they continue to understand themselves and make progress after self-motivation. Now the year-end examination of the Imperial College is coming soon, and this year the Imperial College decided to test students in a different way. This method is not Competing for the length of one person is a kind of competition between us Guozijian and Taixue. This is for the sake of more friendship and communication between Guozijian and Taixue. The result of the competition will be decided jointly by five judges, and the winning side will have the honor to host the release ceremony for new Jinshi next year. Academician Li came to our Imperial College today to personally select five students from our Imperial College to participate in this grand event. In the future, our academicians will also go to Taixue to personally select students for their reference."

After academician Liu finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion below.

Both Guozijian and Taixue are official schools, and both are educational institutions and highest institutions of learning in different dynasties. It is just that some dynasties only set up Taixue, while others set up Guozijian, but there are also two at the same time, such as Dahui.Although the teaching systems of Guozijian and Taixue have changed slightly, they are both the highest institutions for teaching the children of princes and nobles, and the students who study are called Guozisheng and Taixue respectively.

These two official schools shared the duties of preaching scriptures for the emperor when he held the Linyong and Shidian ceremonies and hosting the new Jinshi Shi Brown ceremony, and they competed for a certain number of students. Therefore, the two schools competed for the first place. I racked my brains, and every time I take an exam, I need to exchange invigilators to prevent the other student from cheating.

In fact, at the beginning of the Dahui Dynasty, the prestige of Taixue was far higher than that of Guozijian, but since the reorganization of Shengzu, Guozijian set up two courtyards, east and west, and the west courtyard began to set up six arts departments to recruit female princes to study. He has won the favor of many talented scholars, and the princes and ladies of various prefectures also love the elegance of vassalage, so they scramble to send their daughters to the Imperial College to make friends with each other. Dasheng, overwhelmed Taixue.The Taixue students dropped out of school and went to the Imperial College one after another, which forced the Taixue to follow the example of the Imperial College. However, although the Taixue also started to set up the Six Arts and recruit female princes, it was a step too late after all. Most of the students are the daughters of small households from small households in Beijing, and this has gradually declined.

It’s just that Taixue has been striving to improve this situation. After more than 20 years of development, it has indeed achieved results. There are also many famous families in Beijing and meritorious families who have sent their children to Taixue to study. , a situation of rivalry.
