Chapter 134, enjoy life freely
"Ming Dynasty Duke's Mansion."
Looking at the backs of Dongfang Yunni and Dongfang Yunshang going away, Shi Fuxin snorted and laughed.
Shi Fuyin frowned: "What do those two oriental girls mean?"
Shi Fuxin sneered: "Announce to us their detached status in the National Women's Prison."
The National Women's Supervisor was established by Empress Wende with all her efforts. The Dongfang family in the Duke's Mansion of Ming Dynasty was the natal family of Empress Wende. It was not until the fourth Emperor Yingzong's period that the women's supervisor of the country began to be held by other people.
Even though the Dongfang family is no longer in charge of offering wine to the National Women's Prison, the Dongfang family still has a high prestige and status in the National Women's Prison. Whenever the National Women's Prison organizes any activities, almost all the girls from the Dongfang family will win.
For example, Dongfang Yunrong, the fifth girl from the Dongfang family, was the top four beauties in Beijing selected by the National Women's Supervisor.
There are many girls in the Shi family, and after living with them for a few months, Shi Fuyin has a deep understanding of the girls' love for comparison.
Comparing status, knowledge, beauty, popularity, in short, all kinds of comparisons.
Now that she is in the National Women's Prison, there are more girls around her, and she already foresees that similar things will happen in the future.
"Let's go, the time to report is coming."
The two sisters walked quickly to the freshman registration office.
This year, the National Women's Prison has recruited nearly 500 students. On the day of registration, all new students have to take the placement test.
National Women’s Prison has a total of four classes in Tiandi Xuanhuang, each class has 10 classes, and each class has 50 students.
The four classes of Tiandi Xuanhuang are not divided according to age, but according to knowledge.
The enrollment age of the National Women's College is between ten and fifteen years old. As long as they have enough knowledge, even this year's freshmen, even if they are only ten years old, can enter the Tianzi class.
The placement test is held in the central square of the National Women's Prison, and it mainly assesses the knowledge of the students.
Shi Fuxin came to the examination table with her name on it and sat down. She looked around and saw that the seats should have been allocated immediately, and no one knew her. There were twenty or thirty people between her sister and her.
More than five hundred girls took the exam together, and the scene was quite spectacular.
The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were placed on the examination table, and when she saw the girls next to her studying ink, Shi Fuxin picked up the inkstone and started to study ink as well.
Having just finished getting halfway through, more than 20 female teaching assistants in blue gowns and buns, dressed as men, came with test papers in hand.
"Don't make noise, don't whisper, don't cheat, once discovered, the eligibility to study in the National Women's Prison will be directly disqualified."
The leader talked about the discipline of the exam, and then began to distribute the test papers.
During the distribution of test papers, there was no noise in the entire square.
It can be seen that all the students are aware of the strict discipline requirements of the National Women's Prison.
After Shi Fuxin got the test paper, she read it quickly.
There are three full pages of test questions, including multiple choice questions, true and false questions, analysis questions, arithmetic questions, induction questions, and composition questions. The assessment content covers the six arts, poetry, poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and arithmetic.
"No way."
Looking at the densely packed exam questions, Shi Fuxin felt a little headache, not because of herself, but because of her sister Shi Fuyin.
Although she returned to the uncle's house, her elder sister read books every day, but knowledge needs to be accumulated. She, a person who has not been exposed to books for a long time, is definitely not as good as those girls who started reading at the age of four or five.
Based on her sister's current ability, it is estimated that she can barely enter the Xuanzi class.
Fortunately, the National Women's Supervision will conduct an assessment every year. As long as the knowledge improves, you can change shifts. With her sister's hard work, it shouldn't be a problem to enter the Tianzi class before she graduates at the age of 18.
As for her.
Because of her strong mental power, she can remember the contents of the book after reading it once. It can be said that she has a photographic memory.
The questions on the test paper, as long as she has seen them in books before, she can basically answer them, but she didn't answer them completely according to the correct answers.
The reason for doing this is not to hide her clumsiness, but she didn't come to study for the National Women's Prison Examination. No, it should be said that studying is not the main purpose, and she doesn't want to spend a lot of time on studying.
Knowledge is very important, but she doesn't want to be a talented woman with profound knowledge. For her, enough knowledge is enough. What she really wants is to enjoy life freely.
free
In this hierarchical ancient times, especially in the capital city where the power center is, it is probably impossible to live as one pleases.
She can do whatever she wants, but at least she has to do what she doesn't want to do, and others can't force her to do it.
To achieve this, it is not enough to be rich in knowledge, but also to have chips, chips to play games with all parties, a lot of chips.
Where do the chips come from?
It took her time and thought to plan.
There are four classes in Tiandi, Xuanhuang, and they are divided into classes according to their knowledge. The students in the Tianzihao class are undoubtedly the most valued. Naturally, the students in the Tianzihao class are strictly disciplined. She has to arrange her time freely and cannot be controlled too strictly. Therefore, she entered the Huangzihao class is the best choice.
She is a special student, and a special student has certain bonus points. She only needs to answer a few questions.
So, when other students were thinking hard, Shi Fuxin had already finished answering the questions. In order to show her correct attitude, she also answered every question, but the answers were somewhat different.
An hour and a half later, it was time to collect the papers. Shi Fuxin actively handed in the papers and waited for Shi Fuyin beside her.
Soon, Shi Fuyin came over.
"Sister, how did you do in the exam?"
Shi Fuyin shook her head: "Many will not."
Shi Fuxin quickly comforted: "It's okay, we are special students, and we have bonus points."
Shi Fuyin was very aware of her knowledge, knowing that she was a late student, so she didn't feel too bad when she arrived, so she looked at Shi Fuxin and said, "How about you, how did you do in the exam?"
Shi Fuxin said confidently: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely be able to enter the yellow class."
Hearing this, Shi Fuyin was amused, and glared at Xiaobao's younger sister: "We don't have to go to class today, so we'll just go back?"
In the afternoon, the teaching assistants have to mark the papers, and the class will start after tomorrow.
Shi Fuxin nodded: "Okay, it just so happens that our yard hasn't been tidied up yet, let's go back and clean it up."
The two sisters went straight back to the uncle's house.
After arriving home, the two were dragged by Mrs. Shi and others to ask about the exam situation.
Shi Fuyin told the truth.
Shi Fuxin is full of confidence, but Shi's family members know that she doesn't like reading.
Guessing that the two of them might not be able to enter the Tianzi class or the Dizi class, after a few words of encouragement, they were sent back to the yard.
"Wu Lang's enlightenment is relatively late, knowledge is not something that can be accumulated overnight, and there is no good teacher to teach, even if the two girls enter the yellow character class, you are not allowed to talk about them."
The old lady sighed.
Mrs. Shi and the others hurriedly said they would not, but in fact they would not have said it if Mrs. Shi hadn't said it.
Even if it is the worst yellow character class, it is also the yellow character class of the National Women's Prison, and it is already very good to get in.
The system of the Guozijian is different from that of the Women's Academy. Shi Dinghao was divided into classes on the day he reported, and he happened to be in the same class as Young Master Zhao.
Shi Dinghao is a fun-loving and lively person. After entering the Imperial College, he didn't feel the slightest discomfort. When he returned home in the evening, his whole face was radiant. It can be seen that he was very happy in the Imperial College.
In the bulletin board, the two saw their class status.
Shi Fuyin is in the fifth class of Xuanzi; Shi Fuxin is in the ninth class of Huangzi.
Each class, from one to ten, is also divided according to the level of knowledge. Seeing that Shi Fuxin only entered Huangzi Class Nine, Shi Fuyin looked at her with some doubts.
"Sister Xin, you have a good memory and a quick brain. Although you don't like to read books, you know as much as I do. Why are you assigned so late?"
Shi Fuxin took Shi Fuyin's arm: "Sister, it's because you think too highly of me."
Shi Fuyin frowned, pulled Shi Fuxin away from the crowd, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the first few classes after the yellow character class are almost all those who come in through Yinyou's connections, and they are all people who don't like reading. , you are going to class with those people, it makes people too uneasy."
Shi Fuxin was amused when she heard it: "Sister, just put your heart in your stomach, your sister and I won't be bullied, and of course, I won't cause trouble either."
Shi Fuyin looked at her: "But I am afraid of trouble and will take the initiative to find you."
Shi Fuxin: "."
She seems to be a little troublesome.
"Sister, I don't have time to pay attention to a group of brats. I will try to stay as far away from them as possible. It's almost time for class. Go to Xuanzilou quickly. I'm going to Huangzilou too."
The National Women's Prison has four teaching buildings, which are named after Tiandi Xuanhuang, and they are compared with the four classes of Tiandi Xuanhuang.
Shi Fuyin pulled Shi Fuxin: "You can only stay in the yellow class this year, but you must study hard, and you will not be in the yellow class next year."
Shi Fuxin: "Sister, don't worry about me, you should think about yourself. The students who study in the National Women's Prison graduate at the age of 18, and I am only 12 this year. I have plenty of time to study, but you only have three years. , you must hurry up."
A large part of the reason why all the women in Dachu want to apply for the National Women's College is that the students of the National Women's College do not graduate until they are 18 years old.
At present, as long as a girl is old enough, she will face the general environment of getting married and having children. The students of the National Women's College graduate at the age of 18, and they will not be criticized for getting engaged after graduation.
This, for the students admitted to the National Women's Prison, is equivalent to delaying their marriage for a few years.
Compared between being a charming girl at home and marrying into a husband's family to serve others, it is obvious which one is better for a girl.
It is said that the rule that the students of the National Women's College do not graduate until they are 18 years old is the result of several years of hard work between Empress Wende and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
Of course there are students with outstanding academic performance who can graduate early.
But so far, except for a few special reasons, almost no one will graduate early.
After separating from Shi Fuyin, Shi Fuxin took An Ran and Xiao Fang to Huangzilou.
Find Class Nine, Shi Fuxin went in alone.
Maids were not allowed to enter the school, An Ran and Xiao Fang were left outside.
As soon as Shi Fuxin entered the classroom, all kinds of eyes fell on her. After looking at her for a while, these eyes moved away.
Looking at the classmates who gathered in twos and threes to chat and laugh together in the classroom, Shi Fuxin found an empty seat and sat down, then observed everyone.
They were all twelve or thirteen-year-old girls. Looking at their gorgeous attire, it was not difficult to see that these people should all come from good backgrounds.
Shi Fuxin learned from the discussions of the little girls that in Class 9 of Huang Zi, one-third are freshmen and two-thirds are students staying in the class. This class can be said to be a veritable poor class.
Three-quarters of the people in the class are from the noble families in the capital, and many of them know each other.
Shi Fuxin noticed at a glance that there were quite a few cliques in her class.
A loner like her can't find another one.
Soon, class time is up.
Then Shi Fuxin saw the treatment in the poor class. The teacher spoke at the top, and the students spoke at the bottom. The whole classroom was very lively.
It's really good, it suits her!
Next, Shi Fuxin's off-duty life began.
As long as she understands what the teachings say, she will do her own thing below.
For example, compiling medical training manuals.
On February 25th, Shang Laojiu sent someone to deliver Shennongtang's account book for the previous year, and attached the profit of 20,000 taels of silver.
The Shennong Hall in Rongcheng is on the right track!
It may be because Fuxin and Mr. Zhao mentioned Shennongtang at the beginning. In December last year, a general from Huaiyuan went to Rongcheng. He probably asked Governor Cai about the effect of the pill, and immediately reached an agreement with Shang Laojiu. cooperation.
Shang Laojiu knew that Shi Fuxin had plans to open a branch, and proposed to open a Shennongtang branch on the border of Huaiyuan.
Shi Fuxin would like to open it, but now there is a serious shortage of manpower, she can give Shang Laojiu the management right of Shennongtang in the Western Region Protectorate's Blind Land, but she can't give him the one in Huaiyuan.
People are greedy, and she doesn't want to raise a wolf that makes her look like a fool.
When I was on a short errand, the time passed quickly, and before I recorded a few pages of medical knowledge, it was time for school to leave in the afternoon.
Shi Fuxin quickly put away her books, and left the classroom like flying.
For Shi Fuxin who was walking alone, although many people in Huang Zi Class 9 were curious, no one took the initiative to talk to him.
"Sister, how are the people in your class?"
"It's pretty good, how about your class?"
"It's also pretty good."
Both Shi Fuyin and Shi Fuxin secretly looked at each other's expressions, but they didn't continue to ask questions.
Growth depends on the individual. There are some things that outsiders cannot participate in, and you have to adapt to them alone.
After meeting up, the two sisters got into the carriage and waited for Shi Dinghao at the gate of the Imperial College. After picking up Shi Dinghao, they went back to the uncle's mansion together.
The life of the three people in the Imperial College and the National Women's College, the family members were very concerned about it, and asked about it as usual, and heard that the three of them said it was very good, so they didn't say anything.
When the old lady glanced at An Ran and Gan Tang who looked strange, she thought for a while, but she didn't call them over for questioning.
Sister Xin is a very righteous person. If she knew that An Ran had gone to her side and reported her situation to her, she might not reuse An Ran in the future.
Even though Sister Yin is more easy-going, she is not easy to trust people.
Sending An Ran and Gan Tang there was to help the two granddaughters, and she didn't want to backfire.
In fact, even if she didn't ask, she could probably guess the problems the two granddaughters encountered.
During dinner in the evening, Mrs. Shi called Shi Fuxin and Shi Fuyin to eat at Yixiangtang. While waiting for the food to be served, Mrs. Shi said in a normal way:
"Do you know why merchants are so rich, but it is difficult to settle in the inner city? The same is true for some upstarts in the court."
Shi Fuxin looked at Mrs. Shi in surprise, not understanding why she suddenly mentioned this.
When the old lady looked at the two granddaughters with a smile, she continued: "Because many things can't be done with money; in some circles, you can't definitely join with status."
"The inner city is not small, but if it is big, it can't go anywhere. Just choose a place, and it can't accommodate so many people."
"In the capital city, whether it's in the officialdom or in life, the relationship is intricate. These networks have been accumulated by generations. They are deeply rooted and cannot be easily shaken."
"In order to protect their own interests, people in the inner city will take the initiative to squeeze others out."
Hearing this, Shi Fuxin and Shi Fuyin understood what Mrs. Shi meant.
Is she worried that they will be excluded by others in the National Women's Prison?
