Houfu Key Class

Bailixi continued: "Zong Zhao loved reading when he was a child. He spent more time running to the study room than to the martial arts field. However, the Zong family has been military generals for generations, so the old marquis forced him to go to the martial arts field more often, which made him disgusted and angry. He didn't go to the martial arts field for a while. Later, he didn't go to the martial arts field until the old master gave up."

When Xu Wan heard about her husband's childhood deeds for the first time, she was suddenly amused: "He had quite a temper when he was a child."

Baili Xi said with some nostalgia: "Yes, children have tempers and are very rebellious. It's best to smooth them out."

Baili Xi's reminders were over, leaving Xu Wan alone to stand there and think about how to smooth the stubborn little donkey.

In the pavilion in March, the breeze blows in waves, which feels very comfortable on the body. The sound of children reading can be heard in the distance, one is serious and steady, and the other is carefree.

Xu Wan tapped her fingers on the stone table again and again.

She tilted her head and asked Cuizhi: "Is there a place in Beijing where students can compete in endorsements?"

"Endorsement?" Cuizhi thought for a moment and said, "Each college has this in their monthly exams, but they are all students in their own college comparing themselves to each other."

"There are also these tests for children's subjects, but the tests are deeper. They are used by the imperial court to select child prodigies. Only children under the age of twelve can participate. If you are successful in the children's subjects, you can make an exception and participate in the imperial examination, and you do not need to be subject to the minimum age of ten. There is no age limit, and there is no need to take exams for young students and scholars.”

When Xu Wan heard this, her heart moved. This child science department could just solve Zong Jincheng's age problem. If everything goes well, he could get 100 million in three years instead of six years.

But after thinking about the little devil's current progress...forget it, she'd better not be too optimistic.

Xu Wan asked: "Can Jincheng and Wenxiu take the monthly exam in that college? I can send Shuxiu to let them enroll, and then drop out after the exam."

Cuizhi smiled and said: "Of course, the academy would rather just collect money and not teach the children. But the academy is divided into classes according to age. The two young masters, one is eight years old and the other is ten years old, will be divided into two classes. The difficulty of the exam is It’s also different.”

Xu Wan's eyes suddenly lit up: "In other words, if Jin Cheng catches up with Wen Xiu's study progress, he can get better results than Wen Xiu?"

"That's right."

Xu Wan immediately decided: "Sign them up!"

Although one of the two children is an understanding person and the other is a rote memorizer, they both have a very solid grasp of knowledge, so Xu Wan specifically asked Cuizhi to find an academy for them in the middle and upper reaches. Their opponents were a little strong but not strong enough. Reaching the level of a genius is the best way to gain a sense of accomplishment.

The exam day was Zong Jincheng's penultimate day of study.

Zong Jincheng was reluctantly dragged into the carriage, muttering all the way: "What test are you going to take? This kind of thing bothers me the most. You are calling me out now just to slow down my endorsement progress, right?" His heart is vicious!”

"I will give you monthly silver coins after the exam today." Xu Wan said.

Before the little devil could finish his nagging complaint, he suddenly paused when he heard these words. His dark eyes looked at her suspiciously, "Are you so kind?"

Shouldn't she be trying her best to drag him to study for a few more days?

Xu Wan raised her eyebrows: "Of course, I have always been such a kind person."

"Tch—" Zong Jincheng rolled his eyes.

The carriage drove towards its destination and finally stopped at the entrance of an academy.

Qingbo Academy.

Zong Jincheng was the first to jump off the carriage, and without waiting for Xu Wan and Zong Wenxiu, he walked into the academy and looked at this new place curiously.

It was early morning school time, and there were many students on the road, including people of all ages.

Seeing Zong Jincheng and others coming down, accompanied by many servants and maids, he realized that the eldest young master from which family was attending school, and many people came to watch the excitement.

"It's those two people, they're new here. They seem to be going to the Children's Home. Today is the monthly exam. Why did they come to register at this time?"

"These two people look like they are rich people. As long as Shu Xiu spends enough money, let alone the monthly exam, the dean will personally receive them on the day of the scientific exam!"

"Sure enough, you see, the dean really came out, damn, it seems he has a real background!"

"Haha, I despise these kind of family-dependent rice bugs the most. If they hadn't been lucky enough to have a good pregnancy, they wouldn't even be able to get into the academy!"

"Who makes people's lives better? Even if their heads are empty, there are still papers for them to doodle on. Unlike us, we are afraid of soiling the papers when answering questions."

"Hahaha, stop talking. That short boy came over. Look at his angry look. Damn it, don't let anyone talk about it. What are you looking like?"

Zong Jincheng was not happy when he came to take the monthly exam, but when he heard several people saying bad things about him, he instantly became angry.

He walked forward quickly with a dark face, stared at the two people who were about the same height as him, and asked: "You two, who relies on the father?"

One of them said bluntly: "What about you, kid? This is a monthly exam. Do you have the guts to go in and take the exam? Don't come out crying and say you can't answer!"

Zong Jincheng laughed angrily: "I am here to take the monthly exam, but who can't answer a mere test paper? I think it will be easy to beat you!"

"Hey, what's your name? If you dress in fancy clothes, you'll talk louder! I want to see what you can do in the exam!"

"Zong Jincheng," the little devil said fiercely, "Where are you? Don't wait until I finish the exam, you can hide so hard that no one can be found!"

"I am Wu Shusen."

"My name is Zhang Zhi." The most arrogant child did not forget to say after telling his name, "Boy, you can't pass our test, let alone Qin Ye, the exam master of our academy."

Zong Jincheng said: "Okay, I'll remember you. Let's see who won't make the list!"

Zhang Zhi laughed and said: "Hmph, don't cry and drop out of school!"

Zong Jincheng raised his middle finger at him.

Zhang Zhi: "..."

This bastard, does he have any integrity that a scholar should have!

Behind him, Zong Wenxiu followed his brother into the examination room, while Xu Wan was still talking to the dean.

The dean wanted to stop him when he saw this, but was stopped by Xu Wan. He said a little embarrassedly: "Madam, although the two students just now are not very sensible, they have solid academic performance and can always get B. I'm afraid that the young master will compete with them..."

Hearing B, Xu Wan felt that this was safe.

She smiled and said: "It's okay, my kid's academic performance is also good."

The dean smiled when he heard this, and then praised: "The children of the Marquis's Mansion are excellent. I am too worried. Madam has a good way of educating children. I admire you."

"By the way, what level is Qin Ye mentioned by the two children just now?" Xu Wan asked.
