As soon as the lively identification activity ended, Sheng Guogong prepared to start talking. At this time, Sheng Yuan's mind was still echoing with the basic understanding of the main characters in Sheng Guogong's mansion:

"The eldest uncle is handsome, the second uncle is white, the fourth uncle looks cold and talented, the fifth uncle has a cheerful smile, eight of the nine brothers are here, and the eight sisters are divided into two rows."

[Oh ho, congratulations to the host for being able to compose children's songs! 】

The system suddenly popped up and threw out fireworks to celebrate, but instead used two thin arms to write a shorthand.

Sheng Yuan: "..."

Isn't this system trying to record her words?

[Recording the growth of the host is one of the responsibilities of this system. Please don't care about this and continue to work hard to achieve glory! ] The two systems put their arms back, and the notebooks in their hands disappeared immediately.

Sheng Yuan took a deep breath and said silently in her heart: "It's not embarrassing! It's not embarrassing! I'm not embarrassed!"

"...Two things, the first one is that the Duke's Palace responded to His Majesty's call to allow girls to go to school."

Duke Sheng Guogong's words drew Sheng Yuan's attention away from the system.

"There has been a women's school in the mansion for a long time, but there are some discrepancies between the curriculum and the requirements of the imperial edict. We need to find loopholes and make up for it. I have chosen someone to go to a place where the academic style is flourishing and find famous teachers to teach in the mansion. If you have a favorite teacher, you can also recommend him. .”

Others were still thinking about the matter of rectifying the girls' school in the palace. The third master, Sheng Xiangxun, was a little impatient. He was about to speak, but was overtaken by Sheng Guogong who noticed him and said, "Of course, if you are determined to find a good teacher, Each of your rooms can make your own arrangements, but you will have to take the Fuzhong examination every ten days."

Sheng Yuan understood, that is to say, if her sister wanted to go to the official school to study, that would be no problem, but in addition to taking the official school assessment every ten days, she also had to take the examination of the women's school in the government.

In other words, if others take the test once, her sister has to take the test twice?

Ouch, isn't that so pitiful?

Sheng Yuan tried hard not to laugh and looked at her sister sympathetically.

Sheng Ran didn't think this matter had anything to do with her. She was turning her head and smacking someone when she felt the eyes of her little sister, and immediately gave Sheng Yuan an extremely enthusiastic smile.

"..." Sheng Yuan felt that her sister was smiling a little silly, and somehow her palms felt itchy, and she wanted to touch her sister's head.

"This old man is very slippery. He seems to want to judge the level of the girls in the whole family by the results of his granddaughter who is studying abroad!" Sheng Xiangxun tilted his head and whispered to Zheng.

Sheng Yuan's eyes lit up: Huh? ! Her father's angle of analyzing the problem seems a bit fresh! It turns out that this can be speculated!

"My lord, it is unavoidable that you place too much emphasis on women's education. Your Majesty has ordered all the women in the world to study, and perhaps he attaches more importance to the world's literary style. Do you really want your Majesty to open the imperial examination for women?" Mrs. Liang glanced at the nine grandchildren under her seat. Daughter, her eyes were on the eight-year-old Fifth Lady Sheng Qiang, her grandson. She paused for a moment and then spoke to Sheng Guogong in a nonchalant manner.

"What Madam said is absolutely true. Your Majesty values ​​the style of writing." Sheng Guogong was speechless, but Mrs. Chang smiled and answered unhurriedly, "Who dares to think of a woman going to the temple to serve as an official? It's just that His Majesty hopes that every household There is a sound of reading, and women speak well. If all people in the world, both men and women, have literary talents, why should great people worry about unscrupulous talents taking advantage of them? In this prosperous age, it can be passed down from generation to generation."

"Ah Chang said it well." Duke Sheng Guo nodded approvingly towards the Chang family. He did not look at Mrs. Liang, but just taught his descendants earnestly, "I don't expect you to be able to dominate the court and hold great power. I just want to read more books. If you follow His Majesty's will, the girl in your family will have a better marriage in the future."

"Tsk." Sheng Xiangxun felt happy when he heard this. He lowered his head and whispered to Zheng, "The old man thinks that Duke Sheng Guo's mansion is the noblest among nobles, but he still can't help but envy other people for being able to produce Duke Chengen. What do you want me to say? , if you want the inheritance to continue, it’s best to stay away from the military power and imperial power.”

Sheng Yuan sat in his arms, heard these words clearly, and nodded in approval.

His little actions were clearly seen by Sheng Guogong. Thinking of the boy who had lowered his head and whispered before, he immediately wanted to reprimand him, but looking at the children and grandchildren in the hall, he suppressed his anger and held back.

As the saying goes, no matter what happens, give this kid a chance, lest he look for opportunities to cause trouble.

"You can take your time with your daughter Linjun's study, but you can't neglect your son's study." When Sheng Guogong said this, he couldn't help but smile and look at each other with Chang, and there seemed to be strong joy in his face and eyes.

Mrs. Liang immediately noticed this unusual thing and thought for a moment. She couldn't help but look at the young men sitting down. Sheng Shu, the 16-year-old eldest son of the eldest son, saw the 4-year-old ninth son of the second eldest son. , his eyes rested on his six-year-old grandson Sheng Ming.

The fifth master, Sheng Xiangjun, noticed his mother's gaze and asked his father in a deliberately exaggerated way: "I saw that my father was so happy in his words. Could it be that the boy in the house has found a great scholar as his teacher?"

"A great Confucian as a teacher? You guys really dare to think about it!" Sheng Guogong smiled and nodded, "After all, studying and doing knowledge is more important to yourself. You are stupid and playful, but the great Confucianists are surrounding you. Even if you read it in your ears, you still won’t be able to learn it!”

"Look at how proud the old man is. Do you really think that your children and grandchildren can become talented by themselves? As the old saying goes, a good teacher and a helpful friend! Without a good teacher, no matter how talented you are, it is nothing but a waste of time." Sheng Xiangxun felt that his father was so arrogant that he wanted to fly. He couldn't help but keep nagging in Mrs. Zheng's ears.

Sheng Yuan heard this, and before she could think of whether to agree or not, she heard her grandfather yelling at her father with a voice like thunder: "Third brother, what are you whispering about there? You have the ability to speak loudly!"

Sheng Xiangxun was pointed out without hesitation, and he looked over happily: "I heard someone said that there was a Taoist priest before him who first entered the capital and was attracted by the official aura of his house. He drunkenly clapped his hands and sang in front of the gate. , looks unusual? Do you think he said something nice that made you start to think freely? "

Sheng Yuan couldn't help but feel happy.

Didn't her father just mean that the old man was daydreaming?

Sheng Guogong did not have the brain circuit of Sheng Yuan, but he also knew that the third boy had nothing nice to say. Considering that there was no need for the unscrupulous third boy to affect his mood, he motioned to Mrs. Chang to take out the silk silk in her hand and hand it to him.

Sheng Xiangxun took it and took a look at it, and couldn't help but read out loud: "At that time, I only had little knowledge, but how could I expect that the dust of the pearl was gone, but once my intelligence rose to the top, I assisted the king in making comments? ... What does this mean?"

After Sheng Yuan heard his father finish reading slowly, he couldn't help but look towards Duke Sheng Guo, wanting to hear what he had to say.

But she didn't expect the two unusual eyes to appear again. Sheng Yuan didn't think twice and looked in a random direction, and happened to meet the panicked eyes of a little girl with buns.

[The second daughter of the second wife, six-year-old Sheng Han. 】The system typed a line of words in Shengyuan's mind.

Sheng Yuan was startled, and when she looked at Sheng Liu Niang again, she found that her cousin's eyes turned curious, as if the second glance was just to show her curiosity about her cousin who was showing up for the first time.

Could it be that she saw it wrong?

As soon as Sheng Yuan had a question in her mind, her thoughts were attracted by Sheng Guogong's reprimand. It turned out that her father had made the old man anxious again.
