Riding the Pheonix Chapter 175: Admission

Mingwei didn’t expect that her aunt took her to Mingcheng Academy.

This academy was built by Princess Mingcheng. Seventy years later, it is still famous.

After the death of Princess Mingcheng, the mountain chief was succeeded by his daughter-in-law.

Of course Mrs. Bolinghou cannot work in the academy every day, and the specific affairs are still handled by the professors below.

Madam Ji took Mingwei and Shu Xiu to see the professor of the academy.

A professor named He met them.

This Professor He, whose husband was an imperial scholar during his lifetime, also came from a scholarly family and was quite talented. When her husband was alive, she only taught part-time. After her husband passed away, all the housework was left to her daughter-in-law, so she simply concentrated on her studies.

Nearly all professors and doctors from Mingcheng Academy are like this. If you have a tired family, you can work part-time, but if you don't have a tired family, you can focus on your career like a man.

Well, it can be seen that men prevent women from creating the world.

Mingwei's mind was wandering, but he was sitting on the small stool in an orderly manner, listening to his aunt and Professor He talking, and receiving the other's looks from time to time.

Because Mr. Ji and his husband had worked together before, Mrs. Ji and Professor He were barely old acquaintances. After the two exchanged pleasantries, Mrs. Ji explained her intention.

Professor He said: "The academy is open to teach students, so my niece wants to come and study, so she is naturally welcome. However, this year's entrance exam has already been passed in March..."

Mrs. Ji begged: "She is extremely smart and smart. We don't want to send her to another academy, so we ask Mr. He to be accommodating."

Professor He thought for a while: "There is a school, and people can enter. It's just that most of the students are ladies from the noble family, and they are not easy to get along with..."

Mrs. Ji hurriedly said: "My niece has a gentle and steady temperament and is very sensible. She will definitely not argue with the ladies."

Professor He was even more hesitant. What she is afraid of is not that Mingwei will argue with others, but that she will not be able to fight...

It’s just that Mrs. Ji kept saying good things. Thinking of Mr. Ji, she relaxed: “That’s okay, you can take her to take the exam tomorrow to see how good she is.”

Tell them what the test content will be.

What is learned in Mingcheng Academy is roughly similar to ordinary academies, but slightly different. Classics, arithmetic, and moral education are compulsory subjects, while poetry, calligraphy, painting, music theory, and riding and archery are optional.

Compulsory courses must be taken, and elective courses can be chosen from one of the two.

Mingwei silently wrote it down, and then heard Professor He say: "I haven't congratulated you, madam, Sir Ji has been promoted this time."

Mrs. Ji was startled for a moment: "What do you think of Mr. He's words? My master..."

Professor He was surprised: "Madam, haven't you heard the news yet? Master Ji has been promoted to the department." Because of this, she is so easy to talk to, and she may be begging for help one day.

Mrs. Ji was shocked.

Master Ji was a Ph.D. before and was only responsible for teaching. He also had an upright personality, which made him suffer more and more. He had no sense of presence in the Imperial College.

But Si Ye is in charge of the rules of instruction, only under the sacrificial wine. This is not just a promotion, but a promotion beyond the next level!

Professor He said with a smile: "The lawsuit has been sent out, I believe Madam will receive the news when she gets home."

Mrs. Ji thanked her and led Mingwei home.

Sure enough, when Mr. Ji came back, he was completely dizzy, and in a sleepwalking voice, he talked about his promotion.

Ji Xiaowu was the first to jump up: "Dad has been promoted? Fourth rank? Am I also the son of a high-ranking official?"

"From the fourth grade." Ji Ling corrected.

Ji Xiaowu put his arms on his hips and laughed: "No matter what, from the fourth grade to the fourth grade! Dad, if you try to be the sacrificial wine, I can be a dandy in my lifetime! Ouch!"

He touched his head, which had been knocked out by his elder brother, and burst into tears.

Master Ji ignored the unattractive younger son and spoke to his wife's eldest son: "It's just a bit strange. Nothing happened recently. Why was he suddenly promoted? The position of Secretary has been vacant for half a year. Why? It’s not even my turn. Moreover, someone also revealed to me that this was sent directly from above, without the Imperial College recommending anyone.”

Madam Ji was also puzzled, but Ji Ling vaguely realized something.

He looked at Mingwei and saw her squatting and guessing with little Zhuer, as if she didn't hear what they said at all.

What happened in Dongning was too thrilling. Ji Ling was afraid of scaring his parents, so he only gave a rough outline.

At night, he tossed and turned for a long time without falling asleep, so he simply woke up his wife and told her the story.

Mr. Dong wondered: "This is a good thing, why can't you sleep?"

Ji Ling tried to express his concerns: "My cousin's interpersonal relationship is actually a bit complicated. I'm afraid my parents will know about it..."

"Then don't say it."

"But..."

"What's the good news? No matter how complicated the people my cousin associates with are, she doesn't even bring them home, right? Instead, we get the benefit of the doubt and get my father promoted. Otherwise, with my father's temperament, he won't be able to do it for 800 years. Boss industry."

Ji Ling was stunned for a moment: "That makes sense..."

Ms. Dong yawned: "Boss Ji, don't worry too much. A simple thing has 800 twists and turns after it crosses your mind. Go to sleep. If you have time to think about this matter, why don't you think about it? Save your brain for next year’s competition..."

Then he fell asleep.

"..." Ji Ling had no choice but to clear his mind and go to find Duke Zhou.

Going to the academy the next day, Mingwei passed the exam successfully.

The electives she took were music theory and riding and archery. The teacher who taught her was very satisfied and immediately put her on the roster.

So, she became a student of Mingcheng Academy and was assigned to Linghanzhai.

There are twelve schools in the academy, and the names are quite interesting. Hanying, Zhaoying, Qushui, Meiyu...

Mingwei thought about it carefully and found that the basis was the December Order. In January, hundreds of flowers contain flowers, in February, apricot blossoms shine, in March, water flows into the water, and in April, there are continuous plum rains... And Ling Han refers to December.

Who told her to come late, she could only be assigned to Linghanzhai.

On the day she went to school, she saw Ji Xiaowu standing at the door with a look of despair.

"Fifth cousin, what are you doing standing here?"

Ji Xiaowu lazily said: "Waiting for you!"

Ming Wei said: "How lucky you are to be with you, I don't need to give you anything."

Ji Xiaowu snorted: "You think I want to send you off? It was my mother who said ~IndoMTL.com~ Our academy is next door, so let's go together."

Mingwei was greatly surprised: "Next door to Mingcheng Academy is the Imperial College. Fifth cousin, do you study in the Imperial College?"

Ji Xiaowu scratched his head: "How is that possible..."

The Imperial College in this dynasty had relatively strict admission requirements. They were either the children of high-ranking officials or had excellent academic performance. Ji Xiaowu could not get into either of those.

"I'm at Xiushan Academy, right next to the Imperial College..."

Mingwei had never heard of it, so he asked: "What is Xiushan Academy?"

Ji Xiaowu said vaguely: "What is it, isn't it just an academy? Stop dawdling, let's go quickly. It's okay if I'm late, but it doesn't look good if you're late. I heard Mingcheng Academy is very strict."

So the two took Duofu and went to school together.

Mingwei originally thought that since Xiushan Academy was next to the Imperial College, it should be an academy with some background. Later I found out that there was indeed a background, but the background was different from what she thought...()
